- Hello TH-cam!
Decided to put together a budget build for my latest project. The system is based off a barebones ThinkStation P310 (Sandy Bridge based Xeon). I was able to get all the components in this video for roughly $350 USD. Turns out the older 4C/8T Intel CPUs still have some life left in them!
Specs of the system in this video are
ThinkStation P31-
Xeon E3-1270 v5 4c/8t @ 3.6GHz
16GB DDR4
Radeon RX480 8GB
256GB Kingston A400 2.5" SATA SSD
1TB 3.5" WD HDD for storage
Intel AC7260 Wifi + Bluetooth
I think I finally figured out automatic chapters finally...

Keep it Up Brotha!
I've been taking everyone's trash office computers for years:
I love seeing what I can build whenever I get a new stash
Been pretty dry in the recycle world lately
$287.14 is a great price for this system (my personal rig is a Precision T3620 with a Xeon E3-1245 v5 and a GTX 1660, and I have had no issues whatsoever.
youre video's are great quality, keep them coming
Cool video. I have an old T3600. So far I have yet to run into a game that requires AVX 2. Even Cyberpunk and Hogwarts Legacy that list 6th and 8th gen CPUs as a minimum not only boot but work great with an old E5-2665. Runs better than my more modern i5 6500 based system actually.
Such an interesting build
You’re a very educated and Intelligent person especially when it comes to these computers. You’re super knowledgeable. I’d love to be able to do what you did so I can learn. If you could link where you got the pc it would be awesome. I’d love to get to the point where you are at. Love the content. I seriously think youd be great as a top tech channel
Thanks for the kind comment! I learned most of my stuff through TH-cam, that's why I make these videos. I got the PC barebones from eBay. I'd suggest looking to get a p320 or newer. I'll definitely try! But TH-cam will never be my primary focus.
I just recently put one of these together after watching your youtube video. My current specs are a e-3 1270 v5, 2x8 2400t, r7 450, nvme adpter with a western digital sn720. I'm gonna upgrade from the r7 450 to a rx 580 8g
Well, This is no trash. I had to ch mine to p300 boards for windows 7 64 bit. that is an excl cpu. Lenovo supports the drivers for this puter.
I've also got a Thinkstation P310, but I'm not sure about one thing: I've got one fan for the CPU and one fan at the back of the case, but none at the front. Did I see that right? Do you have a fan at the front of your case (black box)? I'm only asking because I upgraded the graphics card and I'm not sure if the one fan at the back of the case is enough ...
I can confirm I had a front intake fan on mine as well. Did your machine come with the PSU with a 6 pin PCIe connector?
@@cliffscustoms Ok thanks! I bought the front fan, so now I have a nice airflow ... Yes my Lenovo PSU came with a 6 pin PCIe connector. But still I'm thinking about replacing it with a better ATX PSU. Do you have any experience with these adapters from 24 pin to Lenovo's 10 pin?
Hey Cliff - Old video I know, but I’ve just bought my own P310 and went to bed angry last night because I couldn’t get the thing to boot!! I think it may have been because I was missing one connection to the SSD, blocked by the dual slot 1060 2x 6GB from gigabyte. How did you make sure everything was connected even when the graphics card blocks all those connectors? Thanks.
I used an NVMe drive to get around that. You can also try to use 90 degree SATA cables or a PCIe x1 SATA card.
Mine was $200.00 Aus and it came with a E3 1280V5 at 3.7GHZ base 4.0GHZ turbo it had the 400 watt power supply no hard drive caddies cheap to find any way and mine had a PCIE card with a 256 GB NVME and the card had two slots but whatever fits the oother slot is not a NVME as I tried.
Also has 8GB in dual channel mode and a NVS315 Quaddro Graphics card, Bargain I have since put 2 3.5" HDD in and upgrades to a 1TB NVME and just threw in a GTX960 till I can find something better.
Interesting when talking about AVX as intel dropped AVX instructions in the later CPU's. My I7 11700F is the last one that has support for AVX 512
Does the stock power supply enough to run the GPU? How much watts was it?
Yes, there are two models of PSU. The one I had has a 6 pin PEG connector which I used for the GPU. I think it's a 400w PSU.
Is the power supply upgrade able to like an evga
Hmmm I'm not sure. I don't know if it would physically fit in the case correctly. The MB is a 12VO one I believe, so you'd need an adapter for a standard PSU.
Can you upgrade a P330 that has a quadro 4000 to a 4090 rtx
Not without some serious modifications.
can it run rx 570
Yes.
The prices you buy stuff for are atrocious and hurt your profit margin badly. You should be able to build Ryzen 3600, 16GB, GTX 1060 systems for that money. (with all due respect I love your channel, you're just paying too much)
Definitely agree, I was more curious about what those components would do together. Say if you got that P310 complete and just wanted to add a GPU.
