I have an Rx 560 can do the same with it it's an non pin version
Маю такий самий корпус, поки користуюсь вбудованим відеоядром та зовнішнім блоком живлення. Почав задумуватись за дескретну відеокарту і потрапив на ваше віде. Усе що цікавило - побачив. Дякую.
I literally watching this as im building almost the same thing as yours, except twice the ram, a 120gb SSD and a 1tb HDD (with a removable HDD bay). IT will be fine for low spec gaming as well as having on hand at the local FanCon where i run the games room.
Brother your power supply how much mine is 220 watts can I install the rx550 in my sff pc with this method
You can install rx550 with 220w PSU.
Thanks Alot for reply I have another question can same be done with a non pin version Rx 560

You don't need to worry about psu wattage being too high. If that psu has 6 or 8 pin it is a better setup than in this video and will allow for much higher wattage GPU.
Can you fit 1650 in sff?
There are 1650 cards in very different sizes.

Hello. Do you have reddit? I cant seem to find an send message button on here. I just found a iphone 11 with a very small crack, so my thoughts are that i would give it a go with a glass replacement. Im gonna swap the screen and put on a new one and then sell it but its a fun project to try to do just what your video is about.
Well, if you are lucky enough and that iphone is not icloud locked, i would maybe rather sell it or use it with the cracked glass. Especially if it's an original screen, since with first try at glass-only replacement there's a very low change that the display survives.
@optimallyobscureperformanc6264 i have done over hundred screenswaps and 30-40 housing swaps so I have some experience. A screen is easy to replace so I'll get a decent return. Interested in trying to fix the glass just for shits and giggles
Ok, then you probably know what you are doing :) I have about similar experience on screen replacement. Only-glass repair is very time-consuming but rewarding when successful. Good luck!
Original psu is 200w. I am trying to install 750w psu as external and full size 5600xt with riser right now. It seems possible. I had to buy a converter cable for standard psu. I am printing new brackets by my 3d printer for the gpu. I didn't decide that, should i cut back of the case or not in order to make room for gpu display ports.
Wow, that's quite new GPU for an old system! If you don't want to cut the case, you can do this: ruclips.net/video/SF3QVMDLTuU/видео.html&si=GS0kGLilI6k-5vt4
@@optimallyobscureperformanc6264 Thank you for your response. That is my second thought. But I don't want to buy a new hdmi extender cable from front side of the case to back of it. But i might have it still laying around somewhere at the house. If i could find it, i might try that too. Yes, I had Ryzen 5 3500 and 32gb ram. B450 motherboard. But i had to sell it. Turkey is in crysis. I am a computer programmer and having financal issues in the past 3 years. So this old computer is my work computer. GPU and PSU left over from my gaming computer. And I don't have enough money to buy a new computer. Also I really like this desktop case. It's somewhat an improvised setup for me. I hope i can share a video or pictures when i complete it. I am waiting the arrival of converter cable. If new gpu works with this old system, I'll share it. Thank you!
@wmwmwm13 Oh, sorry to hear that. Btw, when the converter cable arrives, check that the smaller wires that connect to the white connecor on the mobo are in correct order. My cable had that connector backwards so i had to extract the crimps and put them into the connector in the correct order. It is easiest to check by comparing how the wires are in original PSU connector.

I can't seem to find any working link for the Honor 8 FRD - L09C432B521 Android 8.0 Oreo firmware ..can I just skip that and install Android 9 lineage os ?
No you can't skip it, the lineage 9 requires you to have 8.0 stock rom. Is the wayback machine link i put in the description working for you?
@@optimallyobscureperformanc6264 thanks for the reply ,yes the link in the description works, so the custom roms found in wayback machine don't require Android Oreo firmware or Emui 8? Im currently on Android 7 Emui 5.0.4 unlock bootloader with twrp recovery following your excellent tutorial
You NEED EMUI 8/ANDROID 8 for the roms in wayback machine link. EMUI 5/ANDROID 7 WON'T WORK, you need to upgrade to EMUI 8 before flashing Lineage 16. There is a section "EMUI 8-based builds" (where Lineage 16 is) that can be used for devices with EMUI 8. There's also "EMUI 9-based builds" and those are only for devices that got official EMUI 9.
It's a bit confusing because EMUI 8-based ROM's are Android 9 and EMUI 9-based ROM's are Android 10. With Honor 8 only EMUI 8-based roms can be flashed and those need to be flashed on top of EMUI 8, not EMUI5/EMUI7.

Do you think I can fit in a dual fan Asus Strix GTX970 D2OC, about 279mm long? I have one lying around and don't want to spend lots of money on a SFF case, ITX/mATX motherboard, new CPU etc, etc. For 1100 Thai baht (30 euros) I can get a Lenovo M83 SFF with I5-4590, 4 GB DDR3 and 1 TB HDD, and the case seems about the right size for an SFF build, and the Lenovo's power supply is more compact than that of an Optiplex.
970 with M83 SFF PSU is probably not going to work. I think PSU wattage will be far too low.
Nice video, I'm not sure if you already mentioned in the video about the overclockability of this i7?
Thanks, i can't recall if overclockable or not, but i made another video about this and similar CPU's: ruclips.net/video/1N8NYRK9Ai8/видео.html Its been a while since making these videos so don't remember much about these 5th gen LGA-to-BGA brystalwell CPU's beyond what i say in these videos.

i really like your videos bro :) keep it up
Thanks, i will continue and have projects ready for videos, now in the process of changing my editing PC.
Would love to see motherboard swap in these. 4th gen is getting too old.
That would be really tricky since the mobo has so weird/unique form factor. But maybe theoretically possible.
low profile 1030/1050 might give it a better life
Well, unfortunately a better GPU wouldn't help much, since the CPU is the problem with an increasing amount of modern games. This CPU is so old it's missing some critical instruction sets causing many games to not even launch anymore. Pairing any more recent GPU with this CPU would be a waste of that GPU.
you have Any black dots display ,?
No, i don't have any extra, you'll have to search on aliexpress etc. Btw still using s10+ with black spot screen, typing this with it. I think it's well worth it.
nice hack, just very bad audio! it's too quiet
Thanks, will try to improve audio in future videos.
Does this help?
Well, hard to say whether adding vrm/memory heatsinks is worth it. I added them initially because most GPU's have them and it seemed odd this didn't... this GPU is actually still in active use and working, but can't say how much the heatsinks affect it's longevity. I have also noticed a risk with doing this, if you add heatsinks to anything it is important to make sure they stay on, sometimes these small heatsinks come with bad adhesive or the component is dusty causing the heatsink to not stick properly. And in that case it may fall off later, risking shorting out something inside the PC and destroying it.
Would this work with a Nvidia 1060 3gb duel fan?
Probably would not physically fit, and power consumption would be pushing the PSU a bit too much. Might still work, but i would rather go with a smaller TDP GPU.
Informative video 👍‼️
Good stuff!
i have the exact same pc but i have a gt 730 + it wont show the screen
You could try if the BIOS allows you to set "legacy oprom" etc for the video card. That option may also not be there at all... my conclusion was that it's not worth it putting any GPU in this PC, the CPU is too weak to properly take advantage of the GPU.
me having the same pc and seing how to put the gpu without a psu shortage
Great build! How do the temps hold up long term?
Thanks! I don't have it anymore since i sold it, but it was in very active use for years without problems, i only replaced it in order to upgrade.
That cpu cooler is held on by hopes and dreams
Well, if you mean the tape, that's there to direct airflow, not to hold the fan in place. It's mounted to the heatsink with same screws as the original fan was, since the mouting holes match with the original.
Hello , i would like your recommendation i am currently looking to buy a custom pc should i buy ryzen 7 5700x3d or the new gen ryzen 5 7600x with a rx 7900 gre i want full performance and i will consider to upgrade after a few years
Well, i usually only deal with old/cheap PC's, newest ryzen i have is my 1700x :) so i don't know much about the more recent stuff, and what you should get always depends on the price. I would get the best deal you can find in your country.
I know it's late, but I'll share anyway. If your setup is mainly for gaming i would suggest 5700x3d, it is marketed for gaming and from the performance at least in gaming its more than 7600x. But the differences wasnt that large. Both are great cpu and you can't go wrong with either of those two.
Hello, Friend I am a subscriber of yours. I like your videos cause they give me ideas to fix and tinker with old equipment. Although I am seeing that your views these days are very low . I will recommend you to use better video tags . I hope you start to get better views. Thanks for creating these videos.
Thank you, nice to hear somebody likes these videos. When i do repairs that are generally less documented, i make videos about them. That often means i cover very niche topics, which means almost no views sometimes, and i pack them with as much info as i can rather than focus on entertainment value, which means a lot of people stop watching the video early, which hurts performance in algorithm. Also my commentary is often called "robotic" and monotonous, which i can understand why. I try to add relevant tags but i don't want to falsely tag things that are popular but not actually covered in the video. What specific tags would you suggest adding to this video?
@@optimallyobscureperformanc6264well you aren't lying when you say it hurts the algorithm, i specifically looking for this video, literally almost every video show them using vacuum chamber. I dont have 1 and i only repair phone for fun. It's only when i finish glass repair on 1 of my phone i came across your channel, and at the time i was looking at your 5th gen intel cpu review. Having said that what do you think of sunshine S-918b it is advertised for screen rework at least in my area, it can do vacuum + uv, albeit it is small and probably not strong enough. But it is simply cheap which is what I'm looking for.
Hi, youtube never notified me of your comment :( I don't have any experience with vacuum chambers/other machines, if you end up buying that, let me know if its good? I have thought about buying a machine, but for now i don't repair that many screens for it to be worth it.
@@optimallyobscureperformanc6264 it's okay, i seen one of your videos, im not sure if it's this one, the screen you repaired have black dot/ink, and you poke the screen until the spot are almost gone. Do you have any tips for that? I really afraid of poking the screen and how about a bigger dot?
@@haziqsofian Well, if you have a black spot and would like to try poking it, first make sure that it's an LCD screen. Black spots on amoled/oled screens don't go away by poking, with those you can only do further damage by poking. When you have a black spot on an LCD, you can first try just waiting for two days and see if it goes away on its own. It usually gets smaller little by little. If it doesn't, you can try poking or rubbing the screen gently with a plastic object, that will "spread" the black spot and makes it go away faster.
Does the E3-1283L v4 still have a Taobao listing?
I think the original listing was gone when i last checked, so probably no.
This was very interesting too watch along. I once tried doing this without diamond wire and suction and failed
First time i thought about trying this was nexus 7 (2012) tablet years ago. Didn't have diamond wire or proper heating platform with suction. Ended up buying a complete display assembly.
Quick question: could i just put normal sized gpu in the sff, with no extender cables and leave the case cover open?
Yes, i think i tried that once. It won't go all the way in the pcie slot because of the case so it's sketchy and display output locations may cause issues, but i think it can be made work.
i would just rip the frame from the battery as not needed anymore..
Well, i still need the battery?
