First-time viewer. Seem like the RUclips algorithm recommended this video to me. I love the commentary and how you walk us through the process from untested to tested. Takes me back to when I was repairing and refurbishing systems. It's an art that I'm glad that's alive and well.
A low-profile AMD video card for a Hackintosh option: a WX 4100, which is supported on MacOS Sonoma. Note: the low-profile RX 6400 GPU is not Sonoma compatible. The VisionTek RX 560 is low-profile and Sonoma compatible, but is more expensive: ~$182 on Amazon currently. Intel GPU's also not compatible. A low-profile RX 6600 is mentioned as being available on a Japanese web site. However, it's downclocked from 2400 MHz to 1200 MHz & only 50 W power, to prevent overheating.
Thank you Guy's so much ! I will greatly think of traveling from Ashland Ky to your store someday ! So I can spend the money to help your store plus to help KY !
Hey, there, guys.. what is your plan for when Windows 10 is truly EOL and won't get security updates anymore? I'm guessing most of what you have there is NOT going to run Windows 11? Have you all found a Linux distro or some other alternate OS that will run well and breathe more life into those old boxes?? Cheers Rick
I feel that you should do something where you invite a couple of people to your office and run a competition where whoever builds the most gaming capable dell optiplex in 1 hour either wins it or you could sell it to that person for an insanely low price
I don't envy you having to figure out upgrades for those SFF systems. Having just upgraded two Optiplexes (an i7-7700 and an i7-4790), I could go the rest of my life without having to deal with Dell's greedy proprietary designs. Those weirdly shaped PSUs (even in the mid tower) and motherboard power connectors take things from planned obsolescence to forced e-waste. (I've got an HP that wasn't any better in the non-standard parts usage.) Also, hot swap means you can change it with the power on. The trays you're putting those SSDs in are toolless design.
you can put in a lian li sff psu in those dells ihad a hp sff with a lian li sff power supply 6700k 3x62mm chinese rad and a rx 6600m with waterblock vertically mounted just dremeled a hole in back of the case
The problem with these PCs is the amount of proprietary parts they have. But not only PSUs or connectors, they are also picky with the RAM modules installed. Sometimes "el cheapo" can be "el expensivo".
I have a Optiplex 3070 that I upgraded the gpu on and used for my first gaming computer and streaming pc for a long time. I just upgraded and built my own pc but the Optiplex treated me good.
I'm loving these videos, but I'm wanting to do a budget build for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. It would be helpful if you could just comment on whether or not the will be fine on lower resolution screens.
This may be a strange question but for these pre-built systems why don't you have an MDT server to build the computer OS after confirming all parts work?
could you guys possibly do a dirty cheap end build for ghost of Tsushima type hardware when it releases? Before having two kids and having a ps4 I lived on that game for years, now the little ones are a bit grown and I was thinking of building one again as I used to build them when i was in late teens/early 20's, now 43 :)
everytime i watch these it makes me want to actually order some parts to finish the 10+ pc's i have sitting in my garage, i have stacks of old parts ive salvaged from throw away ewaste i really should get some finished and make something back on them
They have a whole lot of life left in them. I ran one with a 4th gen i7 as my home server for forever and a day. I referb them any time they come across my desk
@@ToastyBros I certainly don't do this on the scale you do, and I had to stop during COVID and get a PT job to make up the income. Unfortunately that left me with a glut of 3rd and 4th gen boxes (around 20 of them). Generally I sell a "complete setup" with an RGB keyboard/mouse, wired headset, and a monitor. Often I'll even include a webcam. My sons are both 10, and they are both happy with their 3rd gen i5 Optiplexes and GTX 750 Tis. They won't be much longer, but there is still a market. Thanks for making these videos. I'm just now getting back into it, and the GPU information is invaluable for me!
I love my Lenovo m920s sff 8th gen i7 and I put a rtx 4060 LP in it and RGB in the front panel. Little powerhouse it is. I dremeled the drive bay to fit the GPU.
Yeah, those Lenovo SFFs are seriously tight. To my knowledge, the only cards that could fit within those spaces without any modifications are the GT 1030 and RX 520. Too bad, since by the layout, there's actually enough space for a bulkier LP shroud there, just not for the length. So to fit a longer GPU, the only way is to cut a piece of the drive bay.
A similar system on eBay goes for about 300 to 350 these days... with the reliable refurbish and Toasty Bros warranty, and also the better than average GPU (Most on eBay have a gt 1030 in it) I'd say 369.99 perhaps would be a good place to land.
@@bluecollarwatches7048 those single slot cards are going to throttle anyway due to the crappy heat sink.. adding a 80mm fan doesn’t help. I had a optiplex with a single slot rx 6400.. added a noctua 80mm to the front and temps stayed the same
nice .. not sure if this is a 9700 or also lower tdp model but the full fat one surely could run a low profile 4060 if the PSU if enough power from the psu is available ( usually you can convert power for the cd drives and hdds etc into power pins for gpu ) and then if the psu has the available wattage. There definitely is enough space for a 2 slot card in these sff optiplexes and a little breathing room too ..
I'm a chair guy and the hbada..is missing a crucial gamer feature. COLLAPSIBLE armrests. Also missing massage and heat and cool 😎 🤪 i meaan..for the priceee
optiplex pcs come pre-licensed by Dell for w10 pro. w10 pro activates w a digital license. plug play enjoy. I only buy older machines because activation has already happened.
I'm building a Sossaman Xeon it's basically a Core Duo Xeon, 32 Bit only. I was shocked someone had activated Windows 10 on it. Now, only if I can get Windows 10 to see all the cores.... 😅
I keep hearing conflicting views on this, obviously they benefit from Rebar, but they literally showed footage of it running smooth in this video. Could be application specific (trying to run 2024 AAA titles) or the A310 specifically could just be weak enough that it doesn't really need the resources Rebar provides? You'd expect a 10-20% loss of performance anyway running on 10 year old hardware, just as long as it isn't freezing or stuttering. It is actually the RX6400 that eats it in older builds since it only uses 4 PCI lanes, which in PCIe 3 builds is pretty narrow and in PCIe 2 builds (most of these Optiplexes for instance) it is crippled.
Last thing you guys want to hear, but I just built a OptiPlex 790 the recovery partition need to be more 500MB for the windows 10 update trust. so you don’t get call backs.
With sff pcs I always chop an opening for a full size graphics card that doesnt require 6 or 8 pin power and have no issues . Having years of engineering workshop experience I ise an angle grinder and pps gear but a cheap mini hacksaw and metal file will also do the job if you are careful for next to no money .
Ive basically never found a ram stick that didnt work. Whenever i found one that didnt work in a pc it ALWAYS has ended up working in a different PC :-)
I know what ya saying this is more work then easy some that you didnt get to test your jumping into a mine feild gotta test gotta see if memory matches on speed so this not fun
Make a video testing all of them playing fortnite and COD I watched the whole video ❤ I currently have a 2012-2013 system with an i5 4570 and the rx 6400 saved and got it but I'm getting frame drops to 30 and I wanna go pro I'm told I'm the best out of persons I've played also playing tokens etc but I have no cash to get a good pc
I HAVE A QUESTION AND AM NEW TO GETTING MY OWN GAMING LAPTOP IS IT WORTH IT TO GET the RTX 3050, Intel Core i5-12500H, 16GB DDR4, 512GB PCIe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Windows 11 worth it?

These types of videos, while they seem to be boring, are actually very interesting seeing the process and picking of systems.
Funny enough I was gonna share this with my brother but I reckon he'd just find it boring honestly
Love quick and dirty budget builds in retired office PCs. Breathing second life into a station that never got to truly live.
Ahmen. Best part is they reward you handsomely and last forever.
love my optiplex 7010 with i7-3770 has a r5 430 2gb paired with 8gb of ram.
This is the type of video I really enjoy from you guys - fast moving and fun stuff!
Spring cleaning of the shop is finally on! ✨
Exactly! Spring cleaning of the warehouse is so interesting.

I built my first today. A380 Sparkle Genie. OptiPlex 7040. 32 GB RAM. NVME SSD
can you tell me your experience when gaming? no stuttering issues?
How does the A380 does on the 7040?

Can we just appreciate the balance and control Matt did with 6 boxes of GPUs without dropping them?
So much better than Linus, or even JayzTwoCents (at least in his iFixIt ads)
You'd think the gpu fan being so close to the psu would cause some serious temperature issues.
Love these longer videos. Thank you!
this is my favorite video you guys did. I love it.

Buy an optiplex for 5$ - slap 100$ worth of “upgrades” in it and charge 500$ for a “gaming pc” lol

I have a ton of 3rd and 4th gen intel stuff that I may end up doing this with. I generally sell to a younger market, folks just getting started.
They're great Esports builds or for younger audiences with limited funds to get into the PC world

369 ish seems about right
I'd love to have these many Optiplex systems, LMK
You should re-case the one that doesnt fit "any gpu"
Nice video I live your videos im a long time toasty bros fan you guys are nice and kind
Dawg I need a desktop send one to me lol if you have a storage problem
It was kinda funny to see the mr beast -esque thumbnail 😂😂😂 good work boys
EDIT : donate one optiplex for me and my brother please
hey guys im one of your fans . my question is which dell optiplex can be the best between 7040 i76700 and 9020mt
With all of those optiplexes.. you guys might as well just do some custom imaging with Fog over PXE.
Do those Dell BIOS'es even let you enable Resizable BAR? The Intel ARC cards really need that to perform at their best.
Nope
Most of them don't. We have had some luck with a few but even without it, see the benchmarks at the end, the gaming performance upgrade is worth it
They need a single slot LP card. There aren't a lot of new options these days. I would have bought a couple ARC cards if this wasn't an issue.
Dell Optiplex,things are like confetti at a wedding-a lazy glance at eBay shows umpteen for free-to-collect,on any given second!
I really enjoyed watching this video. Makes us feel like we work there....
Currently,i have an 2nd gen Lenovo.
It's throwing "Kmode exception error" bsod.
So,testing is a must!!!
what would be the best 100 dollar graphics card for a office pc i5 8th gen
i never delt with an optiplex. My first hunt would be a sfx psu would fix or anther server style psu.
How would you know in advance of buying the Optiplex that a 1050ti won't fit?
I would add a 80mm fan on those in the front, like another $10 and make it better.
Not worth it. I’ve done this with the blower style CPU cooler and the one with the shroud around it… it makes little to no difference.
@@j_will9 it helps the gpu from thermal throttling.
@@bluecollarwatches7048 those single slot cards are going to throttle anyway due to the crappy heat sink.. adding a 80mm fan doesn’t help. I had a optiplex with a single slot rx 6400.. added a noctua 80mm to the front and temps stayed the same
Bro do you ship to Jamaica 🇯🇲
I have the dell Optiplex core 7040 core i7 6th gen. Recommend a stable graphics that shall work well with my stock 240W power supply
I'm using a dell optiplex 7020 i7 4790s with the same rx 6400 GPU right now.

15:50- Why are not people making a new or modified case cover to give more space inside for a GPU? It seem like a thing that could be done.
It's legal to sell windows install USBs? I didn't think it would be
Do you share the build sheet files anywhere? I'd be interested to see them, maybe i can improve my office pc build processes.
i wouldnt put an arc in these older optiplex systems unless ur able to enable resizable bar

Do these sff support resize bar? If not there may be issues with the arc cards

it's great to save those PCs from the e-waste landfill. do some lenovo's next.
The LP a380 wouldn’t have fit in a dell optiplex the a310 would fit but amd GPU would still perform better than lp a310 only because of driver issues.
