Thank you for this video brother, this is my 10th time revisiting this video while i keep upgrading things in my 7050 mt. Just went from lp 1050, to a 1050 ti msi, now im looking at the m.2 upgrade 😊
Hi Mxkdi, wanted to ask if i need to upgrade psu if i use the 1650? I have the same specs as the one in this video except 32 gb ram. Thanks for the video!
Excellent video, I have a question, is there a space to add a fan in the front of the Dell Optiplex 7050 SSF, but I don't know where to connect it, thanks
I found GTX 1050 Ti require 75W and recommended PSU is 300W. Original PSU for this Model only 240W.. Can you show how it perform when using the GTX1050 Ti with this CPU.
A 75 watt draw from the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot shouldn't overburden the stock PSU. Most of these low profile GPUs were designed specifically for the purpose of operating efficiently in low power scenarios such as that encountered with the OptiPlex.
@@JonathanLawrenceMitchell 4:27 I purchased the AMD Radeon RX 6400 (by Sapphire) It did not work although it doesn´t need additional power cord and it was the card with the lowest power conumption mentioned. The card only uses about 50 watts and Chat GPT suggested that even the pci slot gives enough power of 75 watts, it sometimes consumes more than 75 watts and that´s why it is not booting. Or it can be, that because of the pci express 4.0 the card uses, the optiplex does not allow it to work. I have no clue, I just want the best card possible for this pc. The thing is, I originally thought that the rx 6400 is already the best card in terms of power conumption vs performance. But there is no benefit, if it is not working anyways. I did not want to add an other psu so which card do you suggest? There are other solutions with a sata-cord splited into a 6 pin connector, so even a "normal" gpu with more tahn 75 watts can work, but I have no experience with that.
Unless you want to put yourself through some serious electrical engineering hell, no video required. Just toss out the proprietary PSU and motherboard that are totally non-standard and replace with a standard ATX12V PSU and standard board. The real gem inside the Optiplex 7050's case is the processor. Everything else is pretty much either non-standard or low-end anyway. You'll find that you can't just plug a standard ATX PSU into this board directly, that it requires the construction of an adapter to handle Dell's own pin orientations and strange routing of 5v/12v leads. The board in question is definitely not worth the cost required to adapt it to a standard ATX12V power supply.
@mxkdi is there a second video for this 7050 upgrade ? can you suggest a powersource suitable for this ? and is it worth upgrading this pc with gpu in 20204 ? thanks in advance
since you know about the 7050 mt. would the dell 7060 mt motherboard directly fit inside the dell 7050. im trying to upgrade and the highest i can go is a 7th gen intel on the 7050 motherboard.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the GTX 750 / 760 / 780 etc cards don't even work anymore, correct? I'm looking at buying one of these micro PC's and want to upgrade it.
I run a GTX750 in my Optiplex 7060 which has the same power supply and I have not had any problems, I think the GTX750 is about 65w power rated... I think it's close to the limits of the power supply but Dell power supplies often cope it seems.
I've had a dell optipelx 7010 with a 240 watt psu. I used it with a core i5 2400, a 95 watt cpu along with a gtx 1050 which is a 75 watt card. Worked perfectly fine on full load.
Will the GTX 1050 ti OC LP works with the stock PSU? Is it like plug and play in this computer? I'm planning to upgrade mine. I hope someone can answer me.
That's pretty much what I'd suggest anyway since the proprietary motherboard and CPU of the Optiplex are terribly underpowered and low-end. Just ensure that your chosen mb is equipped with the requisite LGA 1151 (R1) socket that's designed exclusively for 6th and 7th Generation Intel Core processors. I only mention this because the LGA 1151 socket went through two revisions, R1 for 6th and 7th Gen processors and R2 for 8th and 9th Gen processors. R1 and R2 are not compatible due to changes in processor pinouts between these revisions.
I believe my PSU is a 180w where can i get a good deal for a 240w and what graphics card do you recommend out of the ones you showed i got a optiplex i7-7050. let me know if you need more information so i can decide which ones to get for my desktop I use it for streaming but i need to lower my GPU usage it been hitting somewhere around 75% or more since its a intergraded GPU and not a dedicated
I got a 1050Ti to work no problem. I replaced the PSU with a 500Watt and 8pin adapter (externally), works great but when I put in a GTX306 it will not get finished in with the power on test after plugging in. Light comes on the front, then off, CPU fans spin, but never stop. Power button does nothing. -- I made several recommended bios changes -- --- UEFi Boot path (diasble), UEFi Capsule Updates (diasble), SMM Security Mitigatio (diasble), SSR Messages (diasble), Secure Boot (diasble), Fastboot (Minimal). Settings are fine without the card. Thoughts?
can u pls reply to my comment but in my pc there is only 2 removeable for the graphics card and there r 2 sticked and there is like 1removeable and 1 non removeable so i shld break on or what
if i have the ssf model,how can i put a bigger graphic card? it only fits the 1030 lp ,and its a little slow for modern games like mk11,could i put the motherboard and everything into a bigger case?
Yes, you can, although not without some hassle. The PSU and several connectors are proprietary Dell designs and, as such, will not be directly compatible with a standard ATX12V power supply unit. I believe that there are several tutorials out here that assist in the process of performing such a swap but I'd assert that it might be more practical and far less stressful to just swap out the board as well to something that's actually plug-n-play compatible with a standard ATX12V PSU. That opens tons of options for gaming boards designed for the LGA 1151 (R1) socket supporting 7th Gen Intel Core processors while gaining PCIe 4.0 capabilities, more SATA III ports, modern USB / USB-C ports, integrated wifi/bluetooth and more M.2 NVMe slots... and let's not forget more fan headers and rgb lighting capabilities. ;)
It depends on the GPU you're wanting to install. There are several varieties of "low profile" GPUs on the market that are designed exclusively to draw their power directly from the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot into which they're installed so, in that, there would be no need to attempt to swap out the non-standard proprietary PSU with something else. If, however, you're going for a higher-end GPU that requires a power connector from the PSU to function, you would have contend with the drama involved in swapping out this non-standard PSU for one that's compatible with your GPU.
Along with OP's valid solution, you can also use a utility like Clonezilla to clone an existing installation on another pc over to the intended 7050's system drive. This option requires you to have most, if not all, of your 7050's drivers on hand to install manually upon booting unless your cloned OS is procured from the exact same system sporting the exact same hardware. Some might say that this method borders on illegal since you're technically required to obtain a unique license for each install of Windows 10. However, we are, as of today, less than 2 years away from the official EOL date for Windows 10, after which Microsoft will no longer be providing service to or licenses for Windows 10. In effect, the OS will be deemed obsolete and useless as a retail product to Microsoft.
The GeForce 1650 has a maximum power draw of 75 watts, thus not requiring an external power connector. It will draw all of the power it requires from the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot into which it is installed. This is one of several optimal GPU solutions for this particular system since it would not require an upgrade to the proprietary PSU to take advantage of the performance gains it offers.
This is ridiculous, GPU clearly does NOT need to be a low profile card! The mini tower is thick enough to handle a standard size GPU as long as it is not too long in size. Something like a Zotac 1050ti would work just fine.
The people replying to your comment are braindead. Not all full sized cards need external power. I have a full sized dual fan RX 6400 in mine, it works fine. Low profile cards don’t always consume less power.
The Zotac 1050ti actually is a low profile GPU, requiring no more than 75 watts drawn directly from the PCIe 3.0 x16 socket to function. Implying that a standard PSU-powered GPU will just plug-n-pay directly with this system is not only incorrect but using the Zotac 1050ti as an example of this is just hilarious. :D
Hello im about to buy M.2 NVMe Interface SSD - samsung evo 970Plus is it compatible? is there any differencie between 970 evo vs 970 evo plus (which one is better). Thanks My pc is optiplex 7050 sff
Hi, yes that SSD will work fine i would recommend SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus SSD 1TB amzn.to/3J9L2BN and difference between 970 evo vs 970 evo plus is plus has faster write speeds.
@Invasive _Ghosts There is unfortunately no way he/she can run a GTX 1060 on an Optiplex 7050, since the power supply does not come with a 6-pin power connector, mo/bo features a weird 6 pin main connector and Dell does not offer a more powerful PSU for this unit. The best achievable gaming upgrade is to go for a GTX 1650 for now.
Please help! I've upgraded my Optiplex 7050 PSU to a Corsair SF600 and a GTX 1060 3gb (6-pin). The PC will boot fine into Windows without the graphics card installed but will not boot when graphics card is installed. I've tested the PSU, PCIE slot etc. Stumped.
It's not a straight forward swap. The problem is that the alleged "ATX" connection on Dell's board isn't actually ATX, it's proprietary Dell and so the pins on the board do not match the pins on a standard ATX PSU's connector. The swap requires building an adapter to not only reroute the pins but to also deal with Dell's non-standard routing of the 5v/12v leads. Unless you're an electrical engineer and totally into building funky one-off adapters to get around proprietary nonsense, it's advised to just obtain a new board that supports 7th Gen Intel Core processors and retire the proprietary components.
For posterity: although sharing the same physical dimensions based on the LGA 1150 socket (4th and 5th Generations), due to the various pin layout revisions to the LGA 1151 socket line from Generations 6 and 7 to Generations 8 and 9, Generations 8/9 Intel Core processors are not compatible with LGA 1151 (R1) sockets and, likewise, Generations 6/7 Intel Core processors are not compatible with LGA 1151 (R2) sockets. It's an interesting era in which many generations of Intel Core processors would physically fit sockets from LGA 1150 through all iterations of LGA 1151, specially 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th generation Intel Core processors, but, due to the various revisions to pin layouts as power requirements increased, there is no actual compatibility between 4th/5th generation processors, 6th/7th generation processors and 8th/9th generation processors. The general standard is: LGA 1150 Socket..............................4th and 5th Generation Intel Core CPUs LGA 1151 (Revision 1) Socket.........6th and 7th Generation Intel Core CPUs LGA 1151 (Revision 2) Socket.........8th and 9th Generation Intel Core CPUs There are other socket types in the mix for various differences in cpu architecture along development of these generations but this is pretty much the gist of it Intel Core processors existing within these generations. There's also the matter of updating BIOS for motherboards specifically designed for 6th Generation processors to facilitate use of 7th Generation processors with those boards. There is, however, no means by which to force an 8th or 9th generation Intel Core processor to be recognized by a 6th or 7th generation board even though the processors, themselves, will fit the sockets. Again, even though the physical dimensions of the sockets and processors remained that similar throughout all of these generations, their pin layouts were changed enough so that they would not power up correctly outside the slightly altered sockets that were revised for their generational increases in power requirements. This makes for much confusion when searching for compatible motherboards because, unless you know exactly which revision of the LGA 1151 socket your target cpu requires, you have a 50/50 chance of achieving compatibility.
@@JonathanLawrenceMitchell Thoughts on pairing the Optiplex 7050 Mini Tower with the i7 7700 with an rx 6400 low profile? should work in theory, and still be faster than my (now dead) machine (gtx960/i5 6500) The only thing that worries me is that the rx 6400 uses pcie4 and the mobo only supports is pcie3 (I assume the i7 minitower carries the 250w psu)
Would this hold another 3.5 sata HD? I have an older PC that I'm thinking about picking this model up from ebay, but would like to use the same 2x4TB HDs I have.
For posterity: the OptiPlex 7050 has 3x SATA ports and 1x M.2 NVMe / SATA port. To answer your question specifically, though: absolutely. You'll even end up with a spare SATA port after the installation of both of your 4TB HDDs.
The highest you can go in upgrading the CPU is limited to 7th Generation Intel Core processors, specifically maxing out at the Core i7-7700. Remove the case cover, loosen the 4 screws holding the fan / heat sink in place, remove the fan / heat sink assembly, lift the socket lever to release the CPU, gently lift the CPU from the socket, gently install the upgrade CPU into the socket, press the socket lever back into place to lock the CPU into the socket, apply thermal paste to the top of the CPU, gently replace the fan / heat sink assembly and tighten its 4 screws then replace the case cover, done and done.
Correct. There are, however, PCIe 3.0 expansion cards that add more NVMe slots. Of course, there's only one PCIe 3.0 x4 slot on this board so that would eliminate the possibility of installing an internal wifi/bluetooth adapter.
It's an interesting GPU, to say the least, but it is compatible with most of the specs of the Dell OptiPlex 7050. The only requirement would be a major upgrade to the PSU due to the hefty power requirements of the RTX A2000. Given that the PSU for this system is of a proprietary design and totally non-standard, such an upgrade is not very straight forward. There are also proprietary connectors powering various sensors that are non-standard to the typical ATX PSU that you would end having to contend with if you were to hypothetically swap the proprietary for a standard PSU. The good news may be in the implication that you've got a little cash to throw around for upgrades since the GPU you've chosen is about 3x more costly than the low profile variants you'd typically see plugged into and running exclusively from the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot. That particular GPU is retailing today for about $300 on Amazon. You could essentially procure yourself a different motherboard and a standard ATX12V PSU to power it all and move all your other components over to that board then all of that over to a case designed to accommodate a standard ATX PSU. This could likely be accomplished for less than $200 if opting for a 600W 80+ Bronze PSU and a mid-range quality 7th Gen LGA 1151 gaming board. Beyond that, I do recognize that you can obtain upgraded PSUs utilizing that proprietary PSU casing but you'll quickly discover that the cost of that product almost certainly justifies just going with a mobo / case / PSU swap instead.
If you have a USB adapter, you'll just plug that directly into one of several of the 7050's 3.x USB ports. If you have the PCIe 3.0 x4 adapter, you'll plug that into the 7050's internal PCIe 3.0 x4 slot. Opt for the internal option. The USB wifi/bluetooth adapter is pretty much low-power garbage.
wait i thought the recommended PSUw of these video card are 300w? can it run with this dell psu that has 240w below? Is it safe? because I'm planning to buy video card on my dell optiplex 7050?
you can actully upgraded the psu in this pc, but there is something wierd about this pc and the pcie slot. my mini psu 650watt fits in this pc, but i have to make new wholes to make it fit. i used the 24 pinn to 6 pin from psu to motherboard, the problem start when i try to put the gpu in, the pc has a self post everytime i start the psu, even if i dont start the pc. if i have the power cable in the gpu when i start the psu the gpu fan will go full speed and not start, i have to kill the psu. to make it start i have to take the power cable off the gpu before i start the psu so the pc can make a quick start check and then it will come to a stop. when the pc stops i can take the wire for the gpu inn, then start the pc, hehe. then it will accept the gpu. i have no idea why this is, it could be that the 24 to 6 pinn has always on function from the cable? the psu that comes in this pc is 240 watt, and i am scared if i use the sata power to 6 pinns from motherboard to gpu the motherboard will have a bad time.

can i change mother board to asus rog strix b250g is this better or not what you suggest ? best mother board
That's pretty much what I'd suggest anyway since the proprietary motherboard and CPU of the Optiplex are terribly underpowered and low-end. Just ensure that your chosen mb is equipped with the requisite LGA 1151 (R1) socket that's designed exclusively for 6th and 7th Generation Intel Core processors. I only mention this because the LGA 1151 socket went through two revisions, R1 for 6th and 7th Gen processors and R2 for 8th and 9th Gen processors. R1 and R2 are not compatible due to changes in processor pinouts between these revisions.
I believe my PSU is a 180w where can i get a good deal for a 240w and what graphics card do you recommend out of the ones you showed i got a optiplex i7-7050. let me know if you need more information so i can decide which ones to get for my desktop I use it for streaming but i need to lower my GPU usage it been hitting somewhere around 75% or more since its a intergraded GPU and not a dedicated
how long of a gpu card would fit in there , thinking a 3050 that is 8.9 inch long

Awesome video. What would you recommend for the Dell Optiplex 7050 small form factor? Thanks.
Hi, yes i like dell 7050 sff model with i7 7700
good videos. well done. very informative
Hi, thanks.
I got a 1050Ti to work no problem. I replaced the PSU with a 500Watt and 8pin adapter (externally), works great but when I put in a GTX306 it will not get finished in with the power on test after plugging in. Light comes on the front, then off, CPU fans spin, but never stop. Power button does nothing. -- I made several recommended bios changes -- --- UEFi Boot path (diasble), UEFi Capsule Updates (diasble), SMM Security Mitigatio (diasble), SSR Messages (diasble), Secure Boot (diasble), Fastboot (Minimal). Settings are fine without the card. Thoughts?
Hi, i have not tested rtx 3060 with this PC yet and did you try that PSU 500Watt and 8pin adapter (externally) with gtx 1050 ti does it work ?
@@Mxkdt Hmm. I did not see an external spot for that 1050Ti. It did not seem to need one. I'll look at it soon and report back. It works fine though.

Would you need to upgrade the PSU as well to make compatible with a GTX 1650 GPU? As the default PSU in Dell Optiplex 7050 is 240W.

Gtx 1080 ti strix version gonna fit in this 😇
Yeah but you're gonna need a new power supply
hey i just wanted to ask if i can take out the motherboard and put it in a different casing?
Yes, you can, although not without some hassle. The PSU and several connectors are proprietary Dell designs and, as such, will not be directly compatible with a standard ATX12V power supply unit. I believe that there are several tutorials out here that assist in the process of performing such a swap but I'd assert that it might be more practical and far less stressful to just swap out the board as well to something that's actually plug-n-play compatible with a standard ATX12V PSU.
That opens tons of options for gaming boards designed for the LGA 1151 (R1) socket supporting 7th Gen Intel Core processors while gaining PCIe 4.0 capabilities, more SATA III ports, modern USB / USB-C ports, integrated wifi/bluetooth and more M.2 NVMe slots... and let's not forget more fan headers and rgb lighting capabilities. ;)
do i need to change the power supply to make the gpu work?
give me an answer pleaseeee
It depends on the GPU you're wanting to install. There are several varieties of "low profile" GPUs on the market that are designed exclusively to draw their power directly from the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot into which they're installed so, in that, there would be no need to attempt to swap out the non-standard proprietary PSU with something else. If, however, you're going for a higher-end GPU that requires a power connector from the PSU to function, you would have contend with the drama involved in swapping out this non-standard PSU for one that's compatible with your GPU.
Does that grapchics card work with the 200w standard psu?
Yeah it does
Great video! Support long 11cm. M 2? (22110 size) thanks
Probably a dumb question but what's the best way to install new windows on these pcs with no optical drives?
Hi, you have to use USB flash drive.
Along with OP's valid solution, you can also use a utility like Clonezilla to clone an existing installation on another pc over to the intended 7050's system drive. This option requires you to have most, if not all, of your 7050's drivers on hand to install manually upon booting unless your cloned OS is procured from the exact same system sporting the exact same hardware.
Some might say that this method borders on illegal since you're technically required to obtain a unique license for each install of Windows 10. However, we are, as of today, less than 2 years away from the official EOL date for Windows 10, after which Microsoft will no longer be providing service to or licenses for Windows 10. In effect, the OS will be deemed obsolete and useless as a retail product to Microsoft.
Bro can we use rtx2060 with this system ?
Hey man, don't know if you will answer this but... I have this dell 7050 of the video but in ssf, a 1650 low profile will work?
The GeForce 1650 has a maximum power draw of 75 watts, thus not requiring an external power connector. It will draw all of the power it requires from the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot into which it is installed. This is one of several optimal GPU solutions for this particular system since it would not require an upgrade to the proprietary PSU to take advantage of the performance gains it offers.

Dear Mxkid , can i install gigabyte AMD radon 5450hd on this pc optiplex 7050

This is ridiculous, GPU clearly does NOT need to be a low profile card! The mini tower is thick enough to handle a standard size GPU as long as it is not too long in size. Something like a Zotac 1050ti would work just fine.
The dual fan one will fit?
Pretty sure your power supply would die
Theres not enough power. Mone only takes a gpu that has no external power so. Those who do not know do not speak 😆😆😆😆😆
The people replying to your comment are braindead. Not all full sized cards need external power. I have a full sized dual fan RX 6400 in mine, it works fine. Low profile cards don’t always consume less power.
The Zotac 1050ti actually is a low profile GPU, requiring no more than 75 watts drawn directly from the PCIe 3.0 x16 socket to function. Implying that a standard PSU-powered GPU will just plug-n-pay directly with this system is not only incorrect but using the Zotac 1050ti as an example of this is just hilarious. :D

How to upgrade the psu of this pc?
You cant.
Can i buy this, and transfer some of the components into an old tower, get a 500w PSU and gtx-1060 to use? And will that work perfectly?
@Invasive _Ghosts There is unfortunately no way he/she can run a GTX 1060 on an Optiplex 7050, since the power supply does not come with a 6-pin power connector, mo/bo features a weird 6 pin main connector and Dell does not offer a more powerful PSU for this unit. The best achievable gaming upgrade is to go for a GTX 1650 for now.
@@barsbenol749 you can change the PSU and it dell be fine.
Please help! I've upgraded my Optiplex 7050 PSU to a Corsair SF600 and a GTX 1060 3gb (6-pin). The PC will boot fine into Windows without the graphics card installed but will not boot when graphics card is installed. I've tested the PSU, PCIE slot etc. Stumped.
Solved ?
It's not a straight forward swap. The problem is that the alleged "ATX" connection on Dell's board isn't actually ATX, it's proprietary Dell and so the pins on the board do not match the pins on a standard ATX PSU's connector.
The swap requires building an adapter to not only reroute the pins but to also deal with Dell's non-standard routing of the 5v/12v leads. Unless you're an electrical engineer and totally into building funky one-off adapters to get around proprietary nonsense, it's advised to just obtain a new board that supports 7th Gen Intel Core processors and retire the proprietary components.
Hey bro, i had this model and i have question, is compatible with a cpu of 8th gen? Greetings
For posterity: although sharing the same physical dimensions based on the LGA 1150 socket (4th and 5th Generations), due to the various pin layout revisions to the LGA 1151 socket line from Generations 6 and 7 to Generations 8 and 9, Generations 8/9 Intel Core processors are not compatible with LGA 1151 (R1) sockets and, likewise, Generations 6/7 Intel Core processors are not compatible with LGA 1151 (R2) sockets.
It's an interesting era in which many generations of Intel Core processors would physically fit sockets from LGA 1150 through all iterations of LGA 1151, specially 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th generation Intel Core processors, but, due to the various revisions to pin layouts as power requirements increased, there is no actual compatibility between 4th/5th generation processors, 6th/7th generation processors and 8th/9th generation processors.
The general standard is:
LGA 1150 Socket..............................4th and 5th Generation Intel Core CPUs
LGA 1151 (Revision 1) Socket.........6th and 7th Generation Intel Core CPUs
LGA 1151 (Revision 2) Socket.........8th and 9th Generation Intel Core CPUs
There are other socket types in the mix for various differences in cpu architecture along development of these generations but this is pretty much the gist of it Intel Core processors existing within these generations. There's also the matter of updating BIOS for motherboards specifically designed for 6th Generation processors to facilitate use of 7th Generation processors with those boards.
There is, however, no means by which to force an 8th or 9th generation Intel Core processor to be recognized by a 6th or 7th generation board even though the processors, themselves, will fit the sockets. Again, even though the physical dimensions of the sockets and processors remained that similar throughout all of these generations, their pin layouts were changed enough so that they would not power up correctly outside the slightly altered sockets that were revised for their generational increases in power requirements. This makes for much confusion when searching for compatible motherboards because, unless you know exactly which revision of the LGA 1151 socket your target cpu requires, you have a 50/50 chance of achieving compatibility.
@@JonathanLawrenceMitchell Thoughts on pairing the Optiplex 7050 Mini Tower with the i7 7700 with an rx 6400 low profile? should work in theory, and still be faster than my (now dead) machine (gtx960/i5 6500)
The only thing that worries me is that the rx 6400 uses pcie4 and the mobo only supports is pcie3 (I assume the i7 minitower carries the 250w psu)

Would this hold another 3.5 sata HD? I have an older PC that I'm thinking about picking this model up from ebay, but would like to use the same 2x4TB HDs I have.
For posterity: the OptiPlex 7050 has 3x SATA ports and 1x M.2 NVMe / SATA port. To answer your question specifically, though: absolutely. You'll even end up with a spare SATA port after the installation of both of your 4TB HDDs.
Why I already have a gpu in it?
can you connect RTX to that?
Will this Optiplex 7050 accommodate both 3.5" HDD & 2.5" SSD?

Where is the video for the cpu upgrade
The highest you can go in upgrading the CPU is limited to 7th Generation Intel Core processors, specifically maxing out at the Core i7-7700. Remove the case cover, loosen the 4 screws holding the fan / heat sink in place, remove the fan / heat sink assembly, lift the socket lever to release the CPU, gently lift the CPU from the socket, gently install the upgrade CPU into the socket, press the socket lever back into place to lock the CPU into the socket, apply thermal paste to the top of the CPU, gently replace the fan / heat sink assembly and tighten its 4 screws then replace the case cover, done and done.
Where do you purchase your PCs?
Hi, i did buy online.
Can I install AMD fire pro W5100 4 GIGA ON Dell Optiplex 7050 TOWER ??????
There is just 1 NVMe slot?
Correct. There are, however, PCIe 3.0 expansion cards that add more NVMe slots. Of course, there's only one PCIe 3.0 x4 slot on this board so that would eliminate the possibility of installing an internal wifi/bluetooth adapter.
Good 💯
Hi, thanks.
Silly question but would an RTX A2000 be compatible in this computer ?
Hoping someone can answer this question for me.
Thanks in advance (:
It's an interesting GPU, to say the least, but it is compatible with most of the specs of the Dell OptiPlex 7050. The only requirement would be a major upgrade to the PSU due to the hefty power requirements of the RTX A2000. Given that the PSU for this system is of a proprietary design and totally non-standard, such an upgrade is not very straight forward. There are also proprietary connectors powering various sensors that are non-standard to the typical ATX PSU that you would end having to contend with if you were to hypothetically swap the proprietary for a standard PSU.
The good news may be in the implication that you've got a little cash to throw around for upgrades since the GPU you've chosen is about 3x more costly than the low profile variants you'd typically see plugged into and running exclusively from the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot. That particular GPU is retailing today for about $300 on Amazon. You could essentially procure yourself a different motherboard and a standard ATX12V PSU to power it all and move all your other components over to that board then all of that over to a case designed to accommodate a standard ATX PSU. This could likely be accomplished for less than $200 if opting for a 600W 80+ Bronze PSU and a mid-range quality 7th Gen LGA 1151 gaming board.
Beyond that, I do recognize that you can obtain upgraded PSUs utilizing that proprietary PSU casing but you'll quickly discover that the cost of that product almost certainly justifies just going with a mobo / case / PSU swap instead.
Where would I insert the wifi adapter
If you have a USB adapter, you'll just plug that directly into one of several of the 7050's 3.x USB ports. If you have the PCIe 3.0 x4 adapter, you'll plug that into the 7050's internal PCIe 3.0 x4 slot.
Opt for the internal option. The USB wifi/bluetooth adapter is pretty much low-power garbage.

Hi, no.
you can actully upgraded the psu in this pc, but there is something wierd about this pc and the pcie slot. my mini psu 650watt fits in this pc, but i have to make new wholes to make it fit. i used the 24 pinn to 6 pin from psu to motherboard, the problem start when i try to put the gpu in, the pc has a self post everytime i start the psu, even if i dont start the pc. if i have the power cable in the gpu when i start the psu the gpu fan will go full speed and not start, i have to kill the psu. to make it start i have to take the power cable off the gpu before i start the psu so the pc can make a quick start check and then it will come to a stop. when the pc stops i can take the wire for the gpu inn, then start the pc, hehe. then it will accept the gpu. i have no idea why this is, it could be that the 24 to 6 pinn has always on function from the cable? the psu that comes in this pc is 240 watt, and i am scared if i use the sata power to 6 pinns from motherboard to gpu the motherboard will have a bad time.
