yall still sleeping on the Lenovo ThinkStation S30 with a 1620 4 core 8 thread Xeon, they come equipped with a 610W 80+ Gold PSU and anywhere from 8GB of RAM up to like 32GB depending on what model you're getting. Some even have E5 1650 6 Core 12 Thread Xeons. Pair it with a GTX 1070/1080 8GB for a good sleeper build or case swap it to an In Win 101 or another case that top mounts the PSU as you will need that feature to case swap.
@@ToastyBros note, you will need 2x SATA to 8 Pin for power hungry cards as the PCIe power is 6 pin. But it's a GOOD little rig. I have one for guests when they wanna come over and game with me.
6 core xeons run awful with anything above an Rx 570. Paired em with my 1080 and it's nothing but input lag and bottlenecks. But overall such a good value
I got a SFF HP 600 G1 with a 4770 and 16GB of RAM for $40 cash. Bought a RX 550 for $32 after shipping, and I got a surprisingly potent build for $72. I might upgrade the storage to complete the build, and add an SSD. Not bad for a 2nd PC I can leave at my parents house for when I go visit.
@@jorgemaldonado2199It plays well, you can run almost any game at 1080p 30 fps, and a lot of games that are a couple years old at 60 fps. Esport games run very well, 120 should not be a problem on most of them. The 6400 is gimped by the PCIE 3.0, but make sure you do have PCIE 3.0. If you use a sandy bridge CPU or older, ie: 2nd Gen Intel (I7 2600, etc..), those have PCIE 2.0. I believe some ivy bridge OEM boards may be PCIE 2.0, but Haswell should be safe so I would definitely recommend that gen or newer. Check local pricing in your area, but for me I find the price of a RX 550 generally way more favorable than RX 6400, for only a bit less performance. If you can fit a 2 slot GPU, I would consider going up to the RTX 3050 6GB or even an RTX A2000. I have both of those and they're a lot better than RX 6400, none of them use power connectors, but I do give the RX 6400 credit in being a single slot card, I just find it a little expensive for what it is. If you have a very new build, I would consider Intel ARC A310 or even A380, those are priced extremely competitively and perform extremely well when they do, but know they won't work on anything older than 10th Gen Intel.
Love optiplex builds been watching people build them for years! Just built my own and did a full case swap. I5 3570,EVGA 1050ti SC,EVGA 80+500w, 250gb ssd and 8gb of ram in a Musetex Case. Super happy with the performance for less than $250
Sounds like a good computer to flip back then and nowadays. Imagine how much you could flip this for during the GPU shortages. But if It’s for personal use and I made something like this for myself, I would’ve been so proud of that build.
I have a build like this. What youtubers often miss with rx 6400 is poweruseage. With a rx 6400 you can use it in any build. You can turn any pc to a gameing rigg
Some things to keep in mind. First, you can install a dual slot card in the 7020 and the 9020 in the upper 4x slot as it's open ended. However, this puts you in a similar scenario as the 6400/6500XT. But it won't be as bad since you won't be limited to a 64-bit bus as well. Just stay away from the VRAM limit and you'll be fine for the most part... or go with an RTX a2000 and not have to worry about the VRAM all together... lulz. The 3020 however, does not have the x4 slot so you're stuck with the single slot at the bottom and while the 7020/9020 use a Q87 chipset with PCIe Gen3, the 3020 is an H81 chipset which only supports PCIe Gen2, so when you run into problems with the 6400, they're going to be a lot worse. I would avoid the 6400 in anything with an H81 chipset. Might be worth saying to just avoid the 3020 SFF altogether unless you're willing to get creative with a riser cable.
what if you already have a 3020 SFF, that you got before you knew about such issues? I have one with a GT 1030 (2GB GDDR5) and am looking for its "last upgrade" card. There are very few choices that are better and will work with this case. I've tried RX 550; not impressed. Sidegrade. The only upside was VCE, and that's not spectacular. Unfortunately the RX 550 I had became semi-functional recently, meaning it will POST and show a Windows loading screen but not come up with a Windows desktop. IDK. Could be a driver issue. The only sized-right RX 560 (which would actually be a pretty good pairing for my i5-4590) I've seen is from a shady Chinese seller rebranding what is quite obviously a Yeston, so I'm not even convinced it isn't really just an RX 550. And they want more than the RX 6400 goes for shipped domestically. So being that the GT 1030 is PCIe 3.0 (forced down to 2.0 by the H81) x4 anyway, none of these cards would be a downgrade here... I'm thinking either the RX 6400 or the Quadro T600 might be good options. The nVidia card has 16 lanes and NVENC, so there are at least two bullet points in its favor. It is, unfortunately, much more expensive than RX 6400. But it should be nicely matched to the processor, and a decent bump up in performance from the GT 1030. Maybe not worth the price, though, but what is? I can't slot a GTX 1650 and the one SSLP GTX 1050 that ever existed is very hard to find now... T600's are easier, but look out for the 2GB model. Don't want that. Even higher up the price scale, at around $300+, there's the T1000, with 896 CUDA cores so it should be similar to GTX 1650 Super. But I'm not sure about the 3020's weaksauce 255W power supply and supposed 50W PCIe slot power limit... that's funny, I thought the spec was 75W... or is it just that there were no high-watt videocards to validate with it at the time of manufacture? I think that could be the case. I've already gone past the original RAM validation (it was only validated for 1, 2, and 4GB DIMMs and I put 2x8GB in it, but that's widely known to work plus 8GB sticks weren't available yet) so I've already exceeded Dell's validated specs once already here.
@@SeeJayPlayGames Wow! What an awesome response. This is tricky because I know it's really hard to find a single slot card these days, let alone one that's also low profile. I didn't even realize the 1030 was also limited to 4 lanes with a 64-bit bus. However, you won't be in the same boat. Even the GGDR5 version of the GT 1030 has less than half the memory bandwidth of 48GB vs. 128GB per second. There's more to this than just lanes and bus width. If you have the DDR4 version of the GT 1030, you're at about a whopping 17GB per second. So, with the GT 1030, the bottleneck is going to be less of an issue. You're not going to to notice it nearly as much. Especially since it's such a weak card to begin with. The 6400 is much more powerful and the effects of putting it in a Gen2 slot is going to limit you to 2GB per second. It's going to choke the communication between the system memory and the video memory. The single slot Quardo cards would be better in a PCIe Gen2 slot, but even the T600 is a $250 card right now. The T1000 is stupidly priced. The single slot, low profile RX 560 that I've seen... with the purple shroud, is legit as far as I could find. But they're as much as a T600. But regardless of which route you go, the 255W PSU is going to be fine. If it doesn't require dedicated power, it will be enough. In my testing, you'll likely pull no more than 160 watts from the wall for the total system, and that leaves with about 100 watts of headroom. I wouldn't worry about the power supply, and they're well built PSU's with things like OCP. As for the power limit... I've not seen any OptiPlex models with a power limit on the PCIe slot. I'd expect that from the consumer models, but not the business models. But now you have me curious. I bought a 6500XT to see if I'm being too hard on them to test them in some older Opti's, and the results should track with the 6400, but it would be interesting to test the 6400 as well.
@@TheGameBench wow, awesome reply from you, too! That's uncommon to find on TH-cam; a lot of creators don't engage their audience to that degree! I'm impressed. Anyway, I have the GDDR5 version so yeah, 48GB/sec bandwidth. I was at least careful to not make the mistake of getting DDR4. Although I've overclocked the (3004MHz) memory by 650MHz with Afterburner (it can take it; it's good Samsung stuff), so it's up to 58.5GB/sec bandwidth. Wow, 13.5GB/sec more and it'll equal my old HD7770, LOL. IDK if it could do that, though. IDK if that makes much difference; haven't tested before and after. I might have to check that some time. The real problem with the card right now is that the fan gave out so the core can't stay at a high clock rate once it thermally saturates the heatsink. Airflow in the case kind of sucks and it's loud enough already. Yes, I know it's possible to do a case swap. But that's the easy way out. I kind of like working with constraints, it's a challenge. But I might be getting to the point where if I can find a good mATX motherboard for LGA1150 cheap I'll slap it in an old Vostro tower case I have lying around (nothing nonstandard on it) and transplant the CPU/RAM/SSD/HDD into it, get whatever graphics card that will fit (only limited by length in that case, not width) and get another processor (at least an i3-4130, which is arguably the perfect match for a GT 1030) and rebuild the 3020 for my wife, who is currently out of state without a computer. I have some extra DDR3 from when I went from 8 to 16 on this; 8GB will be fine for her; I'd just need to get a CPU and SSD for her. The real question is, do I want to go that route; buying what some might consider e-waste? Eh, if it's still got life left in it, and it's still cheaper than reasonable alternatives, sure. A platform upgrade to Ryzen 5 with 16GB, I've priced at around $400 (5600G APU/MB/RAM/SSD). I think I can get used 4th gen cheaper? And the 4th gen intel chips were good enough that, yeah, they're still okay as long as you manage expectations. Try saying that about an 8 year old platform 10 years ago. Nope. Moore's Law has apparently slowed down. The GT 1030 has a pretty high boost clock especially if you overclock it (I've set mine to +175MHz, raising the base from 1228 to 1403, and boost from 1643 to 1818), but only if you can keep it cool. I've researched replacement fans but one guy allegedly fried his video card with one; IDK how that would happen, but whatevs. Maybe he ESD'd it. Looks like I can get a replacement fan for around $17 or so, but it might take some time to ship.
After your last video with the 1050 ti and the optiplex I started shopping around. Got super lucky, found a brand new MSI gaming X 1050ti on Newegg for $150 after promo code and rebate, then found a Dell Precision T1700 with an Xeon 1245 v3, 256g SSD, 16gb of ram, and the 365w psu (which comes with the 6 pin needed for the factory OC 1050ti) for $120 with local pickup. $270 (plus some tax) and I have a legitimately decent PC that can play virtually any game I care about in 1080p. Thanks for the inspiration guys!
@@joshuagaona1274 I mean that's only $25....and Idk about your 1050ti , but the MSI gaming X is a factory Over-clocked version that will get you about a 10% boost in FPS. Plus it was brand new. The market is shifting as GPU prices steady out and new GPUs start to get introduced.
My gaming PC died (after 28,000 hours) and due to some financial issues a friend gave me a Dell Optiplex 9010 that had been "refurbished" with a SSD and Win 10. It was a Legacy BIOS and to use it for gaming the first change that had to be made was a shift to UEFI. A PSU needed to be made so the video card could be installed and I replaced the 8 Gb memory with 16 Gb . I added a 2 Gb HHD and then it was ready to go. It works well and considering the cost in total it would be VERY difficult to beat. Thanks for upload, I never realized how popular and available the Dell series of PC is.
I'm running an hp z440 myself, recased into a consumer case, with a gtx 1070. Exact same price category, I'm pretty proud of it. My build prior to that was the same optiplex with the i5 and 16 gigs, got it for 30 bucks
@@memesyandhorrorshorts it seems to be a standard or near standard full atx board. Any case that can support atx or Eatx will work. I used an antec 900. A classic.
I'd personally love to see how that handles linux with the AMD card in there. Been thinking of grabbing a 'cheap' box to add a Linux desktop into my home setup that isn't a laptop.
Really unusual coming across this, almost identical to what I did myself a few months ago. SFF hp prodesk 405. Came stock with a ryzen 5 2400g pro. 4 core apu. It was alright for casual browsing and I mean minimal, minimal gaming. Upgraded to 2666 16gb ram (Max the hp mobo can take speed wise) and actually got this exact same GPU for the reason you stated. The fan doesn't hang any lower than the 1 lane. I had the exact same issue of the 16 pcie being snug to the PSU. Only real difference is I completely removed the hard drive caddy, drilled a square in the top of the case above the CPU and added a mesh filter. Replaced the CPU fan with a noctua but kept the CPU wind tunnel so all that air goes out. Then removed the front panel and added two 80mm fans to create positive pressure and aid the GPU. Under load while gaming I'll see anywhere from 60-65 degrees for the CPU and 69-75 for the GPU. which for a small form factor prebuilt case is insane. Not to mention the cpu and gpu pair between 15-20watts each under load. The system costs almost nothing to run.
these optiplex's make for a decent low cost rig, only thing i'd do different is i'd get one with an i7 6th gen for about $150 without ram and storage and spend about $80 on my own for a 16gb kit and 500gb ssd
I'm a Mac... but my 15yo son went and bought himself a 9020 Optiplex i7 a few months ago when his school was tossing them out for AU$50. So, for the past few months we've been learning about PCs together... The latest was - installing a new graphics card as the stock card was shit. I read that the best (and silent) card was a Geforce GT 1030 GDDR5. After tracking one down second hand on eBay for $90, we found it would only fit in the PCIx4 slot, and yet - it's coping with full HD, full frame content. For $140, plus $80 for a 24" Samsung monitor (and a 'free' SSD from one of his dad's old Macs) - he's happy as a pig in shit.
I recently bought a OptiPlex 3050 sff, with a i5 6500, 16 gigs of ram, and 256 gigs of storage. I am putting a rx 6400 in in the next few weeks, and i will also put a terabyte m.2 in it. my shipping was amazing on it though... I also bought refurbed from amazon for $150.
I've upgraded a few Optiplexes with SSDs (Crucial MX500 always) and the biggest issue I have found with them is the lack of motherboard fan headers, SATA power connectors, the low wattage of the PSU and no GPU power connector. If Dell spent an extra couple of dollars getting just a bit more wattage out of that PSU, that would be great, or if another company made an aftermarket one to fit as an upgrade with 2 more SATA power connectors, a 6+2 pin GPU power connector and a few cents extra on a motherboard fan header and SATA header for an additional drive, you'd have the potential for a cheaper gaming rig. Dell and HP seem to always have cooling issues with no fans pulling cool air into the case. A few months after this video, it's now possible to get 7th or 8th Gen Optiplexes for $200 (I got an i5-7500 for £150 here in the UK), which then gives you the bonus of an NVMe slot.
Yes all that is true, but IMO nobody in their right mind upgrades a Dell Optiplex without a new PSU. That is the first thing one does. Otherwise you are holding everything back. In the states btw, used Optiplexs are running about $80 to $120 with SSDs, 16Gs of Ram, and 500 HDDs, and all that is needed is the new PSU and GPU and it's done.
you guys present a realistic view on the various cards, systems etc etc that you test and for the average gamer thats all we are looking for and in the price range its probable better than buying a used card that could die on you in a weeks time..
Believe it or not, I was able to build the same pc for $100 all in. Found an online auction and bought to optiplexes for $60 ($30 each) and then found an rx6400 for $70 on FB. Perfect PC for my wife!
BUT it didn’t recognize the GPU at first and I spent several days troubleshooting until I fixed it. Had to change bios settings as well as enter some commands
So I picked up a x79 mobo cpu xeon e5 2658 v2 and 16gb of ram for 129 on Ali express. Value deepcool case 29 bucks, 550w ps 29 bucks. Paired with a cheap cpu cooler and SSD. Gpu is eagle rx 6400 159 at Canada computers and I get 54 fps on warzone low setting with Fxr2.0 ultra performance. Very playable and very cheap and very satisfying 😊 5:10
This will do 100+ in Fortnite in DX12 Medium preset for 1080p. I found DX12 to be smoother than DX11. Takes about 5 minutes to settle in. Give it a try!
1050Ti is definitely better option for these PCIe 3.0 or 2.0 systems (or Rx 570 if you could find it). Sometimes you get lower FPS but it does not stutter so much when loading textures from memory.
Definitely go RX 570/1050Ti if possible, but with that top slot it was physically limited to x4 which sucks. Same happened on the dell precision SFF I grabbed.
The major problem with USFF is these are using 100% utilisation and thermals are way to high. People that game for hours on end will have overheating issues. 80+ C in this video for GPU. Lack of air flow is the biggest problem. Power Supply is another issue, be lucky if that PSU is 220w to 250w
I recently bought 3 HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF's and one TWR from Human-I-T and I'd like to say their shipping definitely improved compared to this order every PC came with cardboard paper and at least two of thick bubble wraps it definitely took a minute and some opening them

Just to clarify what what PCIE 4.0 MEANS : IT MEANS ITS VERSION 4 THAT HAS X4 BUS BANDWITH - IT STILL HAS 16 LANES OF DATA TRANSFERS. iT DOESNT MEAN THAT IS 4 LANES CARD LOL ! DIFFERENCE IN PERFORMANECE ON THIS PARTICULAR CARD FROM X3 *(PCIE 3.0) BANDWITH AND X4 BANDWITH ( PCIE 4.0) IS ONLY BETWEEN 8-10 % WHICH IS HARDLY NOTICABLE .
There is no reason to upgrade the power supply in Optiplex systems to fit this card in. Dawid Does Tech Stuff used this card and a GTX 1650 in a Acer Veriton with a 220W PSU. Most Optiplex systems come with 240W. Dawid benchmarked GTA V and it averaged a 20W use of power and 40W in Cyberpunk. I hear and read lots of people saying to upgrade PSU but unless you're running 4 games at high at once it shouldn't be a problem if you have a low wattage power supply.
Love your channel guys! I got an Optiplex 990 DT with an i7 2600 and 14 gigs of ram (4 sticks total) from my school for free. Had a 2 gig Gigabyte Windforce GTX 960 that I put in (got before pandemic prices). I like a lot. But I need better than a 305 watt power supply. Performance mode on Fortnite seems to be working ok for me.
@@plixrplays Well, it is ok. But 2 gigs of Vram is MAJOR BOTTLENECK. A 4 gig version of the same card would be better. But I can't find any for a great price. 😕 😅
I put the sapphire lp RX 6400 in an Optiplex 790 240w PSU i5 2400 16GB SFF and it runs great. The only problem I had was audio distortion crackling static when using hdmi audio. I installed new audio drivers, changed a ton of audio settings, and nothing worked. Had to use 2.5mm oe jack for acceptable audio.
I have an Optiplex 990 SFF, I am planning to put an AMD Radeon RX 550 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card Low profile inside of it. From what I know of, this GPU takes around 20 Watts which is what the online internet told me. So it should work well inside of it. I am also giving it 16 Gigabytes of ram at 1333 MHz with a Intel Core i7-2600k. I think that is what I remember. Hope to get it all soon in the future.
@@justjoe8660 I never had a Optiplex or heck, even an actual desktop ever. The 990 SFF I got from School because no one wanted it. I want to give it love and care; and linux too.
I did same on dell 7040 I removed whole disc drive and harddrive leaves loads more room for airflow etc and used m.2 slot instead so they weren't needed
Nice video. Would be nice to see the GPU Vram usage on the overlay. It would be nice to see which game max out the 4gb vram, and which games use under 2gb (I expect only something like Valorant would use less than 2gb).
Considering your 4790 has an iGPU that you could enable in BIOS and set it to run even with the discrete GPU you MIGHT be able to use the iGPUs encoder to stream... That's a big maybe, but I know intel iGPUs can use quicksync and that tech is fairly low latency.
Current Opti build is a 7040 SFF with Core I5-6500, 16gb RAM, 512gb m.2 NVMe + MX500 2TB for storage, RX6400 and 180w PSU...upgrading to 64gb RAM soon and considering upgrading CPU to Core I7-6700...I think upgrading the PSU would be a good idea too...I have a 315w SFF PSU laying around...may as well try it out...lol
@@FilthEffect I have had a couple of games that were less than optimal...not sure if it's CPU bottlenecking or possibly a power issue...I'll eventually swap the PSU and see if that resolves it

Check local pricing in your area, but for me I find the price of a RX 550 generally way more favorable than RX 6400, for only a bit less performance. If you can fit a 2 slot GPU, I would consider going up to the RTX 3050 6GB or even an RTX A2000. I have both of those and they're a lot better than RX 6400, none of them use power connectors, but I do give the RX 6400 credit in being a single slot card, I just find it a little expensive for what it is. If you have a very new build, I would consider Intel ARC A310 or even A380, those are priced extremely competitively and perform extremely well when they do, but know they won't work on anything older than 10th Gen Intel.
Love optiplex builds been watching people build them for years! Just built my own and did a full case swap. I5 3570,EVGA 1050ti SC,EVGA 80+500w, 250gb ssd and 8gb of ram in a Musetex Case. Super happy with the performance for less than $250
nice little build bro, that sounds like a decent budget build!
Sounds like a good computer to flip back then and nowadays. Imagine how much you could flip this for during the GPU shortages. But if It’s for personal use and I made something like this for myself, I would’ve been so proud of that build.
@@tenshi1333 Lenovo ThinkStation S30 / ThinkCentre M900 with a GTX 1060 6GB is the new Optiplex.
basically what my friend used to have before his pc stop working now he got a new pc
what are the use of the pc you built so far?
I have a build like this. What youtubers often miss with rx 6400 is poweruseage. With a rx 6400 you can use it in any build. You can turn any pc to a gameing rigg
Some things to keep in mind.
First, you can install a dual slot card in the 7020 and the 9020 in the upper 4x slot as it's open ended. However, this puts you in a similar scenario as the 6400/6500XT. But it won't be as bad since you won't be limited to a 64-bit bus as well. Just stay away from the VRAM limit and you'll be fine for the most part... or go with an RTX a2000 and not have to worry about the VRAM all together... lulz. The 3020 however, does not have the x4 slot so you're stuck with the single slot at the bottom and while the 7020/9020 use a Q87 chipset with PCIe Gen3, the 3020 is an H81 chipset which only supports PCIe Gen2, so when you run into problems with the 6400, they're going to be a lot worse. I would avoid the 6400 in anything with an H81 chipset.
Might be worth saying to just avoid the 3020 SFF altogether unless you're willing to get creative with a riser cable.
what if you already have a 3020 SFF, that you got before you knew about such issues? I have one with a GT 1030 (2GB GDDR5) and am looking for its "last upgrade" card. There are very few choices that are better and will work with this case. I've tried RX 550; not impressed. Sidegrade. The only upside was VCE, and that's not spectacular. Unfortunately the RX 550 I had became semi-functional recently, meaning it will POST and show a Windows loading screen but not come up with a Windows desktop. IDK. Could be a driver issue. The only sized-right RX 560 (which would actually be a pretty good pairing for my i5-4590) I've seen is from a shady Chinese seller rebranding what is quite obviously a Yeston, so I'm not even convinced it isn't really just an RX 550. And they want more than the RX 6400 goes for shipped domestically.
So being that the GT 1030 is PCIe 3.0 (forced down to 2.0 by the H81) x4 anyway, none of these cards would be a downgrade here... I'm thinking either the RX 6400 or the Quadro T600 might be good options. The nVidia card has 16 lanes and NVENC, so there are at least two bullet points in its favor. It is, unfortunately, much more expensive than RX 6400. But it should be nicely matched to the processor, and a decent bump up in performance from the GT 1030. Maybe not worth the price, though, but what is? I can't slot a GTX 1650 and the one SSLP GTX 1050 that ever existed is very hard to find now... T600's are easier, but look out for the 2GB model. Don't want that.
Even higher up the price scale, at around $300+, there's the T1000, with 896 CUDA cores so it should be similar to GTX 1650 Super. But I'm not sure about the 3020's weaksauce 255W power supply and supposed 50W PCIe slot power limit... that's funny, I thought the spec was 75W... or is it just that there were no high-watt videocards to validate with it at the time of manufacture? I think that could be the case. I've already gone past the original RAM validation (it was only validated for 1, 2, and 4GB DIMMs and I put 2x8GB in it, but that's widely known to work plus 8GB sticks weren't available yet) so I've already exceeded Dell's validated specs once already here.
@@SeeJayPlayGames Wow! What an awesome response.
This is tricky because I know it's really hard to find a single slot card these days, let alone one that's also low profile. I didn't even realize the 1030 was also limited to 4 lanes with a 64-bit bus. However, you won't be in the same boat. Even the GGDR5 version of the GT 1030 has less than half the memory bandwidth of 48GB vs. 128GB per second. There's more to this than just lanes and bus width. If you have the DDR4 version of the GT 1030, you're at about a whopping 17GB per second. So, with the GT 1030, the bottleneck is going to be less of an issue. You're not going to to notice it nearly as much. Especially since it's such a weak card to begin with. The 6400 is much more powerful and the effects of putting it in a Gen2 slot is going to limit you to 2GB per second. It's going to choke the communication between the system memory and the video memory.
The single slot Quardo cards would be better in a PCIe Gen2 slot, but even the T600 is a $250 card right now. The T1000 is stupidly priced. The single slot, low profile RX 560 that I've seen... with the purple shroud, is legit as far as I could find. But they're as much as a T600. But regardless of which route you go, the 255W PSU is going to be fine. If it doesn't require dedicated power, it will be enough. In my testing, you'll likely pull no more than 160 watts from the wall for the total system, and that leaves with about 100 watts of headroom. I wouldn't worry about the power supply, and they're well built PSU's with things like OCP. As for the power limit... I've not seen any OptiPlex models with a power limit on the PCIe slot. I'd expect that from the consumer models, but not the business models.
But now you have me curious. I bought a 6500XT to see if I'm being too hard on them to test them in some older Opti's, and the results should track with the 6400, but it would be interesting to test the 6400 as well.
@@TheGameBench wow, awesome reply from you, too! That's uncommon to find on TH-cam; a lot of creators don't engage their audience to that degree! I'm impressed.
Anyway, I have the GDDR5 version so yeah, 48GB/sec bandwidth. I was at least careful to not make the mistake of getting DDR4. Although I've overclocked the (3004MHz) memory by 650MHz with Afterburner (it can take it; it's good Samsung stuff), so it's up to 58.5GB/sec bandwidth. Wow, 13.5GB/sec more and it'll equal my old HD7770, LOL. IDK if it could do that, though. IDK if that makes much difference; haven't tested before and after. I might have to check that some time.
The real problem with the card right now is that the fan gave out so the core can't stay at a high clock rate once it thermally saturates the heatsink. Airflow in the case kind of sucks and it's loud enough already.
Yes, I know it's possible to do a case swap. But that's the easy way out. I kind of like working with constraints, it's a challenge. But I might be getting to the point where if I can find a good mATX motherboard for LGA1150 cheap I'll slap it in an old Vostro tower case I have lying around (nothing nonstandard on it) and transplant the CPU/RAM/SSD/HDD into it, get whatever graphics card that will fit (only limited by length in that case, not width) and get another processor (at least an i3-4130, which is arguably the perfect match for a GT 1030) and rebuild the 3020 for my wife, who is currently out of state without a computer. I have some extra DDR3 from when I went from 8 to 16 on this; 8GB will be fine for her; I'd just need to get a CPU and SSD for her.
The real question is, do I want to go that route; buying what some might consider e-waste? Eh, if it's still got life left in it, and it's still cheaper than reasonable alternatives, sure. A platform upgrade to Ryzen 5 with 16GB, I've priced at around $400 (5600G APU/MB/RAM/SSD). I think I can get used 4th gen cheaper? And the 4th gen intel chips were good enough that, yeah, they're still okay as long as you manage expectations. Try saying that about an 8 year old platform 10 years ago. Nope. Moore's Law has apparently slowed down.
The GT 1030 has a pretty high boost clock especially if you overclock it (I've set mine to +175MHz, raising the base from 1228 to 1403, and boost from 1643 to 1818), but only if you can keep it cool. I've researched replacement fans but one guy allegedly fried his video card with one; IDK how that would happen, but whatevs. Maybe he ESD'd it. Looks like I can get a replacement fan for around $17 or so, but it might take some time to ship.
I’m getting handed down a 3020, luckily I’m not gonna use it for long and it’s only until I save up enough to build a pc with my 3090
A Dell Optiplex sff 3040 is fine?
After your last video with the 1050 ti and the optiplex I started shopping around. Got super lucky, found a brand new MSI gaming X 1050ti on Newegg for $150 after promo code and rebate, then found a Dell Precision T1700 with an Xeon 1245 v3, 256g SSD, 16gb of ram, and the 365w psu (which comes with the 6 pin needed for the factory OC 1050ti) for $120 with local pickup. $270 (plus some tax) and I have a legitimately decent PC that can play virtually any game I care about in 1080p. Thanks for the inspiration guys!
I’ve been trying to sell my 1050ti, selling it for 125$. Would’ve saved yourself a good chunk of change
@@joshuagaona1274 I mean that's only $25....and Idk about your 1050ti , but the MSI gaming X is a factory Over-clocked version that will get you about a 10% boost in FPS. Plus it was brand new. The market is shifting as GPU prices steady out and new GPUs start to get introduced.
@@CaptainIanFace true
My gaming PC died (after 28,000 hours) and due to some financial issues a friend gave me a Dell Optiplex 9010 that had been "refurbished" with a SSD and Win 10. It was a Legacy BIOS and to use it for gaming the first change that had to be made was a shift to UEFI. A PSU needed to be made so the video card could be installed and I replaced the 8 Gb memory with 16 Gb . I added a 2 Gb HHD and then it was ready to go.
It works well and considering the cost in total it would be VERY difficult to beat.
Thanks for upload, I never realized how popular and available the Dell series of PC is.
I'm running an hp z440 myself, recased into a consumer case, with a gtx 1070. Exact same price category, I'm pretty proud of it. My build prior to that was the same optiplex with the i5 and 16 gigs, got it for 30 bucks

@@subhyoyogg2394 Its not a bad card for starting out
Really unusual coming across this, almost identical to what I did myself a few months ago. SFF hp prodesk 405. Came stock with a ryzen 5 2400g pro. 4 core apu. It was alright for casual browsing and I mean minimal, minimal gaming. Upgraded to 2666 16gb ram (Max the hp mobo can take speed wise) and actually got this exact same GPU for the reason you stated. The fan doesn't hang any lower than the 1 lane. I had the exact same issue of the 16 pcie being snug to the PSU. Only real difference is I completely removed the hard drive caddy, drilled a square in the top of the case above the CPU and added a mesh filter. Replaced the CPU fan with a noctua but kept the CPU wind tunnel so all that air goes out. Then removed the front panel and added two 80mm fans to create positive pressure and aid the GPU.
Under load while gaming I'll see anywhere from 60-65 degrees for the CPU and 69-75 for the GPU. which for a small form factor prebuilt case is insane. Not to mention the cpu and gpu pair between 15-20watts each under load. The system costs almost nothing to run.
these optiplex's make for a decent low cost rig, only thing i'd do different is i'd get one with an i7 6th gen for about $150 without ram and storage and spend about $80 on my own for a 16gb kit and 500gb ssd

I'm a Mac... but my 15yo son went and bought himself a 9020 Optiplex i7 a few months ago when his school was tossing them out for AU$50. So, for the past few months we've been learning about PCs together... The latest was - installing a new graphics card as the stock card was shit. I read that the best (and silent) card was a Geforce GT 1030 GDDR5. After tracking one down second hand on eBay for $90, we found it would only fit in the PCIx4 slot, and yet - it's coping with full HD, full frame content. For $140, plus $80 for a 24" Samsung monitor (and a 'free' SSD from one of his dad's old Macs) - he's happy as a pig in shit.

I recently bought a OptiPlex 3050 sff, with a i5 6500, 16 gigs of ram, and 256 gigs of storage. I am putting a rx 6400 in in the next few weeks, and i will also put a terabyte m.2 in it. my shipping was amazing on it though... I also bought refurbed from amazon for $150.
I've upgraded a few Optiplexes with SSDs (Crucial MX500 always) and the biggest issue I have found with them is the lack of motherboard fan headers, SATA power connectors, the low wattage of the PSU and no GPU power connector.
If Dell spent an extra couple of dollars getting just a bit more wattage out of that PSU, that would be great, or if another company made an aftermarket one to fit as an upgrade with 2 more SATA power connectors, a 6+2 pin GPU power connector and a few cents extra on a motherboard fan header and SATA header for an additional drive, you'd have the potential for a cheaper gaming rig. Dell and HP seem to always have cooling issues with no fans pulling cool air into the case.
A few months after this video, it's now possible to get 7th or 8th Gen Optiplexes for $200 (I got an i5-7500 for £150 here in the UK), which then gives you the bonus of an NVMe slot.
Yes all that is true, but IMO nobody in their right mind upgrades a Dell Optiplex without a new PSU. That is the first thing one does. Otherwise you are holding everything back. In the states btw, used Optiplexs are running about $80 to $120 with SSDs, 16Gs of Ram, and 500 HDDs, and all that is needed is the new PSU and GPU and it's done.
you guys present a realistic view on the various cards, systems etc etc that you test and for the average gamer thats all we are looking for and in the price range its probable better than buying a used card that could die on you in a weeks time..

1050Ti is definitely better option for these PCIe 3.0 or 2.0 systems (or Rx 570 if you could find it). Sometimes you get lower FPS but it does not stutter so much when loading textures from memory.

@@SlowHardware Exactly, If I would've had a SFF PC with PCIE x4 gen 4 maybe but since most SFF PC's are with PCIE gen 3 it's not worth the performance loss.
@@Teksers I actually sold an sff pc that u used as my main rig while my x58 pc was down not long ago. It was 16gb ram, i7 2600 and a gddr6 gtx 1650. Performed well but was well slower than the overclocked old 6 core and r9 390x, fun times.. now on a Ryzen 7 3700x and an RX 6700 xt with 32gb ram
@@Teksers also putting together an optiplex 390 with a gt 1030 atm
How much power does the rx6400 need? My system has a 260w power supply.
Less than 75w. Rated at 55w IIRC.
Need ur opinion stay with 1660 non super or ti or get a 6600xt. u amaze me by building budget PCs and play most if not all AAA titles waiting for more. 👍👍🔥🔥
Well, you could stay with 1660 for a few months until ETH merges, and then see your options.
Never count on stuff like an ETH merge but try to wait as long as possible before grabbing that 6600XT as prices will continue to drop.
What kind of temps are you getting with this card? I got the XFX RX 6400 and it is hitting 85C-90C when gaming in a HP SFF desktop. Wondering if this one runs cooler?
On low or high settings? How git runs yours when only browsing on internet or playing g games like valorant or overwatch
Apparently the XFX one runs hotter due to a weaker cooling solution.
Good Afternoon,
I had instaled one RX 6400 in my dell vostro 3470, perphaps when i playing games the temperature is too high ( 90 C° or 194 F°). Do you have this same problem if the computer of video ? Do you any suggestion to help me ? Thank you for your time.
Great Video! Thanks for sharing
modify a regular video card fit into a dell optiplex 9020 sff pc
a case swap would be sick for these
I don’t think that’s possible
Be nice if you listed the settings at the bottom or in the comments.
Wondering if you can tell me what combination of Optiplex, cpu and ram will get me the most powerful config? Im looking for at least 32GB, and as many cores as you can get. Just don't know the correct cpu and memory config.
I am getting a new pc and don't no alot of stuff but is this good hardware
I5 10400f
Rtx 3050
2x8 3200 speed thing and that's what I rember is that a good pc for £750?
Errrr
Recently got a Hp Elitedesk 800 g3 with 8gb of ram and an i5 6500. Gonna pair it with the xfx Rx 6400. Is 8gb good enough for now?
CAN YOU GUYS DO ONE WITH THE OPTIPLEX 2010 DT PLZ 🙏🏽
ill wait for the rumored 1630.
i have same pc.. optiplex i7 4790 with rx 6400. can i upgrade to i7 4790k ?
TOASTY BROS HAVE YOU EVER DONE AN UPGRADE ON A OPTIPLEX 9020 IF YOU HAVE NOT PLS DO
Use the gen older i7-3770 optiplex it has the pcie x16 on top to allow a gtx1650 to fit. May perform better.
Do it with the latest intel low profile cards
can I put in two 8 Gb ram sticks and two 4 Gb ram sticks and still expect it to run?
I found a good deal on a gtx 1660 super single fan and wanted to know if it would fit in my dell optiplex 7020 sff
Could this graphics card be used for pod casting?
I hope the upcoming GTX 1630 could also fit on builds like these, then I'd might get interested to buy an optiplex.
the GTX 1630 sucks; it's a cut-down TU117 chip and every one I've seen thus far is standard form factor. Full height, two slots. How useless. Unless they've made a SSLP version I'm not aware of... a T600 is still better.
The gtx1650 works also... might have to upgrade power supply if you have the 255watt version to the 315 watt version not hundred on that but it would cool your Temps anyways so it's worthwhile anyways to upgrade.
Is a 3050 sff motherboard compatible with a Rizon 5 AMD cpu?
Hi there!
I hope you are doing well guys.
Actually, I wonder if you guys have a customized config for me?
I want to play games like the last released Battle Field or FIFA 2023 or last released COD on my PC...
So I'm looking for a affordable config to play those.
Do you have any recommendations for me?
Considering the budget between 200 to 350
Hey so I have a dell optiplex 5080 with the same form factor power supply how. Do I upgrade that?
thermal paste is "slightly conductive" erm, its either conductive or its not. mx5 is definitely not, most on the market isnt
erm no, conductivity is measured as a number. It can be high or low.
@@maalikserebryakov anything over zero is conductive.
ddr6 great play
If i wanted to could I put a better graphics card (say a nvidia 1650) into the pc instead of the 6400
can you guys test the 6400 in other pcs im curious of how it operates in different systems
Hey serious help needed. I have a Asus Tuff Fx505DT gaming laptop. There’s no way this thing is getting more do’s than my laptop which has a 1650 and 5600 I think
Whats the pc name?🙏
Do you need a new power supply to do all this? I have a 255 watt but I don’t know if that’s enough
The reason why RX 6400 is the best for optiplex gaming is because they consumed 53 watts, one of the lowest I ever seen in any GPU. It’s even lower than GTX 1650, which consumes 75 watts, and performs the same level. Anything around 180-250 watts should be enough
Where di you Get the Large Matt that sit on your table/Would like to get one for me.
I have the 6400 but with a ryzen 5 5600g and get more frames I think it's the cpu ( I haev 24 gb of ram btw)
