    Not sure if these are compatible with the 9000 series processors. I stumbled upon this video, and hoped to upgrade my i3-8100t > i7-9700t. It failed to turn on (quick flash of the orange light and then nothing). Found some thread online and apparently these(or maybe some) didn't ship with the microcodes required for the 9th gen processors (906EC 906ED). I dumped the BIOS, added the codes, flashed the BIOS and dumped again to find the microcodes present. STILL didn't boot when I installed the 9700t, so YMMV when trying to upgrade to a 9th gen processor.

      Hi bro, i also have the same model with i3 8100T.
      I am planning to upgrade that to i7-8700T, is it possible?
      And i heard that we can also add External graphics card Nvidia RTX 1650/3050 with help of " ADT-Link M.2 Key M NVMe External Graphics Card Stand Bracket with PCIe3.0 x4 Riser Cable 25cm 50cm 32Gbs for ITX STX NUC VEGA64 GTX1080ti " .

    Hi, I see that the motherboard has additional ports for USB etc over & above the ones that are already connected/available to the chasis.Do U have any info about them and the possibilities for upgrade?. Thanks.

  • @drlegendre
    @drlegendre 6 месяцев назад +1

    These Dell models are technically USFF (ultra small form factor) devices.
    The SFF models are intermediate size, having more USB ports, provision for an optical drive, two half-height PCIe slots and room for a second internal HDD and a second stick of DRAM.
    But if you don't require the expandability, the USFF machines are an excellent value for the price, as well as being extremely quiet in operation.

    • @silvanigra
      @silvanigra 2 месяца назад

      This generation (3060, 7060...) is called a micro setup by Dell, they no longer use the USFF name apparently.

      It has until UHD graphics. You’re going to be playing modern 2022 or newer games by any means. Realistically if you want to play AAA titles you’re looking at 2016 or earlier probably. However less graphically intensive stuff will run very well
