Here is the list parts upgrades. (1.) CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40GHz SLACR (2.) RAM Corsair XMS2 CM2X2048-6400C5C 2GB PC2-6400U DDR2 800 (3.) Power Supply Installed Dell 305W Model Number is L305P-01 (4.) Motherboard dell inc. 0rf703 CN-0RF703
The very best of this Dell Optiplex series still with a old LGA775 socket was the 780 with upgrade possibility of 16GB RAM DDR3L 1.35Volts instead 1.50 volts and a Intel quad core running at 3.0Gh , I upgrade also the storage to an Samsung 950 PRO 512GB NVMe SSD with windows 10 PRO and is running great after all this years , still are possible a bunch of tweaks and improvements to the Optiplex case to make more rigid and improving the cooling by tweaking the CPU cooler with the cooler came with the Optiplex 745 which was the best CPU cooler of the optiplex LGA775 series, thank you for the video
Seems like the sound is about 30sec behnd the video, otherwise great. I had already upgraded my processor to the one you're putting in as well! Glad to have that affirmed.
I have the same pc but i'm running 8 gigs ram pc6400 and the Q6700 processor but the thing is i havent got a good GPU yet, the mother board dont give me the room to install a dual slot kind, the GTX 650 TI Boost i have needs two slots to allow the video output to come out of the back of the case, i need a good single slot GPU to fit this build,,,,and not too long or it will hit the CPU heat-sink assembly :/
I’m using a q6700 which is slightly faster than the q6600. I suggest using that cpu. They can be found for around $20-25. I also suggest putting in a GeForce GT 1030 graphics card.
Hi, you have to install latest BIOS Version 2.6.6 before upgrading the CPU and yes that motherboard Dell 0RF703 does support Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 Kentsfield
I hope ur gonna notice n reply to this msg, btw im having hard time with the same system unit as u had there. Well the thing is my dad gave me this kinda old looking guy pc so im thinking if I could chance or let say modified it to a "micro atx mobo" to make it gaming pc do u think its possible? Pls i hope ur gonna response to this even its been a year that this video was posted. Thnks!
Excellent video. Well done. Fast, well thought out, your a pro. Question, you are upgrading the video card to a more powerful video card, so, don't you then also have to upgrade the PSU because of the power requirements of the new graphics card ? I know in your vid. you said a 350 watt psu will do, but i wasnt sure when upgrading the graphics card. Thanks.
Bro my pc is intel core 2 quad q6600 with 8gbram and its dell optiplex 745 mini tower My Power supply is also 305watt Can i install a 2GB OR 4GB gpu in my pc plz help me plz tell me Bro?
did you need to add a fan after you installed the q6700, and did you need to upgrade the PSU after you installed the gt 1030 , because of the build up of more heat ? Thanks. Did you update the motherboard bios before you installed the q6700 ?
no I used the same fan that came with it and I left the PSU. I barly noticed a difference in heat even with the 1030 overclocked. I did update the bios before installing the q6700
Thank you. I have a 745 myself, and may upgrade the processor to q6700, I have read elsewhere where extra heat might of been a problem, but it seems it works fine for you. I may also upgrade to a better graphics card then the old ati pro x1300 256 mb ram in there now, too, I was concerned about the PSU not being strong enough, but thanks for your comment to help me out.
Just download the bios update from the dell site.. then just follow the prompts, and install the bios update, When you restart your computer, you should see the bios update. Some would say you shouldn't install a bios update, unless its absolute necessary. Are you sure you need to? After the bios update on my 745, it wouldn't boot. After some trial and error, I had to add the ram sticks back one by one into the 745 to get the 745 working again. good luck. www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/drivers/driversdetails?driverId=GRJ7T
Unfortunately no because even though the q9550 is socket LGA775, the motherboard in the optiplex 745 only supports a FSB (front side bus) of 1066Mhz and the q9550 requires an FSB of 1333Mhz
