You need a splitter to add a front fan or use a HUB/controller , I'm moding a 5050 for my son atm , just ordered a new low profile cooler and some argb fans to light it up a bit for him. Seen a few videos were they use the controller for the rgb to work as the dell motherboard doesn't come with those headers
I didn’t notice you mention this but look for coolers explicitly listed as compatible with LGA 1150 sockets. Many coolers designed for LGA 1151 and LGA 1155 sockets will also fit LGA 1150, but you should confirm this.
Doesn't work with every type of fan. I have just tried this with a Silver Soul 135 black and I'm getting the cpu fan error press f1 bs the fan doesn't do anything at all. I'm very unhappy.
how do you fix the bolts of old cpu cooler in that new case. because mine has no screw holes on case. also about psu you use adaptor ? or your psu came wuth conector mines need convertor/adapter cables.
What about the desktop models that have the chassis fan tunneled into the heatsink via a shroud? How would you go about putting a low profile cooler on those old 775 boards?
Love your videos! I have a question I’m hoping you can answer… would I be able to install NZXT’s Z73 CPU cooler this way? (yknow the one with the GIF on it)
Man I just FOUND a Dell Optiplex 3020 with an I3 4160 and 16 GB 1600 Ram on the local waste disposal-plant and three days ago, I had bought a nofan CR 95 C in Britain for some 120 bucks. Now the holes of LGA 1155 and 1150 seem to be the same but I wonder whether the Dell power managment will accept a fan that needs NO electricity 🤣 . Hadn`t Linus techtips found a trick around that? 🤔 In the middle of the night when everything`s dead-quiet, a cooler-fan just jells at ya like a thunderstorm 😎
Here's one he did on changing power supplies - th-cam.com/video/bW3SWQPY19M/w-d-xo.html A power supply is pretty easy to swap, especially in Dells (as long as you know the secret Dell ATX case PSU release code... ;-) I'm assuming you have an MT (Mid-Tower), yes...? Is there something in particular you're having trouble with...?
can you guide me with Inspiron 3891. I have stock case and i5 11400 its too hot 81 degrees in OCCT with mx2 thermal paste. I want cooler swap, and i have 4 pin fan connector here, try both 80 and 120mm coolers to connect directly to CPU, all works without errors like it should, but i dont know which cooler should i use need 3-4 heatpipes,
Hi! Are all aftermarket coolers compatible? Dell is infamous for proprietary everything. I mean, are the screw holes standard size? I purchased a Raijintek Aidos II for my Opti 7010 MT, not knowing it comes with push pin bracket, which I cant manage to push through the screw holes no matter what. Can anyone recommend a cooler replacement that is known to be working with the motherboard?
nice. those jonsbo coolers are cheap, only 2 heat pipes but I guess if you have a mega cpu you'll look for a 4+ heat pipe unit. I didn't get what you did to remove its fan and then put it back on, can you explain for me please? Was it stuck on or clipped on ? thx
I have a dell optiplex 745 that I had bought for $20 but the problem I ran into was the cooler Takes up too much space The mounting holes are more vertical and less square than most lga 775 motherboards. I spent $6 on a q6600 to upgrade the e6300 in it and did a bios flash so it would recognize the quad core cpu. I want to upgrade or just switch out the original cooler to free up more space for the graphics card location. Otherwise I am going to be limited with the type of good graphics cards that will go in the pcie e 16x 1.0 slot. I read that non of the Radeon R series cards will work in it's first generation pci e 16x slot. However it would be nice if I could install my 9800gtx+ card in it since I may still have my 650 watt psu and 9800gtx+ still since it's at an old coworkers place. I just have to wait for him to arrive with some of my possessions since I was using him to store some of my stuff.
Nice video :) have an old 0y958c dell motherboard (optiplex 960) and wanted to install a heatsink cooler but the one in your video doesn't fit as the original heatsink seems to be a giant one with encrage far apart. Any help appreciated :)
the older XPS 410 uses a similar heatsink mounting system as your 960 and iirc, the XPS 410 has a copper-base, multi-pipe heatsink rated for CPUs around 100W. Roughly $15(US) for a used one.. Dell part no: X9694
why have you ignored every question about the cpu fan error on boot up? and why no shot of the screen on boot up? i'm guessing you get the error, but, have no clue...FAIL
hi after using the 5pin to 4pin fan adapter did u still get the f1 fan error message?
4:24 excellent product. Lasts years! This really dissolve dried out paste. Don’t scrape it off. Use this. Excellent product.
Now this video is really great. First it was the transplant now it is the CPU cooler and now this is awesome. Thanks alot
no problem!
2:57 Please advise
How can I pull out the pins of the CPU cooler, I don't know how to get it? I can see progress, thank you.
So how do we upgrade that back fan if we kept the original case !
I’m pretty sure you just use the same adapter he showed in the beginning for the back fan
2:17 Where to buy the cable?
Is there an F1 boot error for the cpu cooler?
On the front of the Dell Optiplex 7050 there is space to add a fan, does anyone know where I can connect it?

Im getting some sff 5050’s. Im putting 80mm Noctua fans. 13$ each. Sata power full rpm.
Is this is a playlist? Really love this case swap. Fun!
Where to buy a 3pin CPU cooler cable? Thank you.
Hey man! I got the cable from Amazon
You can just plug it in the 4 pin one
@@RAVisuals Can connect as 3pin and 4pin both compatible connections work my computer DELL OptiPlex 3020? Thank you
Very awesome breakdown!! Thank you!!
I can’t find the case that you used for this video
It might be out of stock but I'm sure there's one out there that's very similar

I have a optiplex precision T1700 and the heat sink I looked up it said 92mm so will this cpu cooler be compatible with my motherboard??
I can install this cpu fan even in stock optiplex case? Like 3020 MT?
Doesn't work with every type of fan. I have just tried this with a Silver Soul 135 black and I'm getting the cpu fan error press f1 bs the fan doesn't do anything at all. I'm very unhappy.
how did you bypass the fan error??
fan error is from the case fan not the cpu cooler I believe.
how do you fix the bolts of old cpu cooler in that new case. because mine has no screw holes on case. also about psu you use adaptor ? or your psu came wuth conector mines need convertor/adapter cables.

Brother quick question does it work in a normal optiplex 9010, im just worried that its not going to fit in the case of the normal 9010
you just need to check the space of the stock optiplex case. certain tower coolers are wider than others
Love your videos! I have a question I’m hoping you can answer… would I be able to install NZXT’s Z73 CPU cooler this way? (yknow the one with the GIF on it)
Do CPU fans run constantly or is it regulated by some thermostat?
Wich optiplex is the motherboard from?

I sure do! I have a bunch of videos on how to do that!

how do you upgrade the psu from stock dell psu?
Unplug it from the motherboard and buy a new one and connect.

Can I do a liquid cooling cpu cooler on the optiplex
Yes
Will this work on a sff too?
coolers like this wont fit into an SFF cassis

R and RX cards don't play well with NON UEFI computers. Basically if it's a i3 2120, i5 2400, i7 2600 or newer it will be alright.
F1 fan error
i just use rubbing alcohol to clean the IHS.
Everyone atleast has to install a heatsink with the sticker as a rite of passage
Best thing, hands down to use to clean your CPU of thermo paste is paper towels. Anything else is somebody trying to make money. By wastings yours.
Thank you
You're welcome!
Will it fit in the original mini tower case?
I doubt it but you can buy 92mm cpu tower coolers that should fit

judging by the comments this doesn't work - that youtube for ya
Well, it worked for me 🤷♂️
Does this give the F1 Boot error message?
why would it?! It's just a heatsink!!
@@toddgilmore118because it's dell.
Yes
