Nice job on the video man. It's rare to see videos people doing things like this with older systems and I'm very glad I found your channel. Keep up the good work!
Just FYI I watched this video and with the advise of a friend I got a VTE450 watts, 8GB Ram and a new GTX 1050ti msi normal size. The GPU fits very well and works perfectly, no problems at all // I'm gaming on it now
thanks bro!! im waiting on one of these and was wanting to know if these were able to upgrade!. so glad you post these vids seems i was lucky it was this type as some can be complicated from what ive read. tho i believe i would of been ok as ive a 750 ti that wont need a psu upgrade for the time being for me.
why spend so much money on newer systems when you can upgrade an older optiplex 3010 by upgrading the power supply, hdd, ram and GPU = gaming rig! Great upload an! your accent is either chicago, ny or somewhere New England lol
Im worried about the power sata cable to the hdd of my setup. will the power sata cable hit the door of the case or it will fit? or the wire will bend when you close the case?
Appears to be Mini-ATX, as opposed to Micro-ATX which is actually bigger than mini. But if you grab a case on the web that supports mini and micro then you'll be fine, many will.
I dont recommend taking out of the case.but it should work fine.with mine i decided to cut out the side panel and add plexi glass along witg paint it red
First off thanks a lot for doing these videos. I bought this machine and upgraded to the thermalake power supply you have recommended. Right now I have one SSD 256gb installed. If I wanted to add a second samsung 860 evo, do I need to buy one of those splitter cables you have listed?
I am doing a staged upgrade on another 3010. If I go the route of installing a Xeon E3-1230V2 I was wondering if a better cooler was a good idea & if the pin arrangement on the motherboard for the stock cooler is any different from standard. I have a Cooler Master Hyper412R ready & waiting. Don't wanna kill that or the M.B. The Xeon's TDP is marginally less than the stock I5 3470 according to Intel specs. Eventually I have it in mind to get a better graphics card than the GT 710, but gaming is not my priority right now. Not when prices are so insane.
I have a optiplex 3010 mini tower I was wondering if I could fit a gtx 770. Will it cover the sata slots? I have 10.5 inches of space with hdd caddy and 15.5 inches without caddy.
im going to buy this pc and Im going to put a rx 470.. and of course a new power suply... my question is.. Wont it get hot because it is very small.. should i get some fans (cuz I can see that there is only one) and the psu is blowing hot air in the cpu or its sucking air? Thanks in advance :)
Hey again, so i got the optiplex and i couldnt find a gtx 950 anywhere so im thinking about just using a rx 560 and im wondering if the 400w would still be good?
i have this same pc, i want to upgrade to 16gb ram, will it work also can i put i5 7th gen in this pc?,will it work? i am new to pc community please guide
thanks i have the pc one but am thinking of upgrading with hyperx ram and new psu and a gtx 1660 what i now have is 8gb ram and a gtx 1650 and original psu from dell
You probably need to create a bootble windows 10 creation tool. So it would let you choose and install a version of windows 10. Then you can activate the license later. Is the bios working?
I have a 3010 of this size but I only have a white PCI slot on the motherboard. What are the restrictions on getting a new motherboard that has PCI Express? (x16?). The processor is Intel i5-3470. I'm assuming if I want to upgrade the graphics to GTX 950, 1050 or higher that I would also need to upgrade my power supply and motherboard? Thanks
Hello do you think the 290W PSU from the 3020 MT would support AMD RX 460 2GB DDR5 , no cable connexion , 75W cons. The red one OEM. I have seen lot of Pc builders youtubers , recommanding this card for pre-build cheap config. I have heard Dell Optiplex Pre-Builds have problems with AMD GPU , is that true ? like the card isn't compatible. Do you have any experience with the RX 460 2GB , i don't know a lot about PC. Thanks you.
did you try a rx460 in one of those Dell Optiplex ? I have heard this graphic card have some problems with dell optiplex pre-build. BIOS problem. Thanks you for your time.
@@buee2277 www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/35615734 Yes it does work proof on benchmarks and if you did not buy that video card you can go with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650.
@@Mxkdt Hello , i got the graphic card ( RX 460 2GB ) and i have a problem , it's working well in games , i have lot of fps etc but when i push graphics and my GPU go to : 68-70°C and my PC go to sleep mode instantly , i can't do anything , i have to restart PC. This card is plug and play , no power cable , do you think this is the problem and should buy a graphic card with power cable for less power from the motherboard ? I tried with the 290W PSU from dell and a 550W Corsair , and it still crash. Thanks you.
I dont need the CX600 so will the CX430 be a good alternative and right size? I am gonna buy a 3010 and add a 1050ti to it. Comes with an i3-3225 or i5-2400 depending on which i buy. Any suggestions for other power supplies would be good too
Alexander George Politidis Yeah basically because of the much lower power usage I was considering being stingy and just adding the 1050ti to the i3 PC with the default power supply, but I've decided I will buy the i5 one and upgrade the power supply most likely :)
dude but you can't run this graphic card on 3010. gtx 1050 ti these graphic cards are new generation cards so they may cause some bios issue please go with the gtx 750 ti or go to this site and ask from them, they will help you, i also own a optiplex 3010 and they suggested me that don't buy the new generation GPUs because of bios issue .. www.tomshardware.com/
eer Sam Are you mad? The 750ti is a nice little card but it's on it's way out and struggles to get 60 on lower settings, and certainly not at 1080p. Obviously I'll just start from scratch with the build rather than make such a ridiculous compromise just to use pre built..
Thanks! good video! I bought a used optiplex 3020 online(it will arrive in a few days), it comes with i5-4570 and 290w psu. If I install 1050ti (75w), will 290w be enough? and did you test your upgraded PC? because some people told me that DELL use special PSU, but I am not sure about this.
Hi, yes 290w should be enough i recommend you upgrade at least 450w power supply and you will need ATX 24pin to 8pin power supply cable adapter and adapter available online cost around $15.
Your 290w power supply uses 8pin to motherboard connection and when you upgrade to at least 500w it uses 24 pin that's why you will need to buy adapter separably
Iamsasquatch no problem, but evey motherboard has them positioned in different areas apart from the CPU and mobo power header which has stayed in the same place in every mobo
Sadly, the gtx 770 is a large graphic card measured over 25cm. This means that it would not fit in a mini or sff Dell optiplex, if you had a mt Dell optiplex then it would fit but you would still require a psu upgrade.
Hello i know this Is an old video but can i install without upgrading psu a gtx 1650 on this machine but desktop size not mini tower not sff i wait your answer thanks and which 1650 model if yes
It needs to be the low profile version of the 1650 to fit the 3010 DT. In terms of whether the 250W PSU can handle it - I'll let you know, as I'm waiting for an MSI-branded card to be delivered for that Optiplex. From what I've read it should be OK. I'm wondering if there's a 300W TFX PSU that would be compatible as I also fancy putting an i7-3770 in & upping the RAM from 8GB to 16GB - would be good to have more PSU headroom. Disconnecting the optical drive & using an SSD instead of a HDD would also save some power.
@@chrisjohnroach i have seen videos of machines like hp elite desktop 600/800g1 with 240w psu and they throw a gtx 1650 lp in there and everything fine so i think u dont even have to upgrade 😂 please Let me know if everything works fine with it because i see people recommend it but i have never see It working on 3010 dt and thanks for answering Man
@@jesustheflow256 OK so the MSI 1650 LP card arrived today, installed it & Windows wouldn't boot, I just got a black screen. Tried again but F2'd into BIOS settings first - didn't change anything in settings, but this time it booted fine & Windows soon found the drivers automatically. I ran the system with an SSD only, so no mechanical drive, optical drive, multi-card reader - just to be cautious. Ran a PassMark bench & got 8619.3 for 3D graphics - integrated Intel HD 4000 got 247.6! Tried No Man's Sky & runs great. I've also since upgraded the PSU, but the card did seem fine with the stock 250W. I've put in a 300W Be Quiet! TFX Power 2 & I think I'll now also get an i7-3770 & up the RAM to 16GB. Total cost so far is £300, that's for the Optiplex 3010, 500GB SSD, 1650 GPU & the 300W PSU - got really good prices on everything however.
Great Video Mxkdi. :) I have a question you can hopefully answer. I put in a GTX 750 and it works great but now I want to put in the new GTX 1050 TI and I can't get the old card out because the white lock on the pci slot wont budge. Any tips ?
It shouldnt stick out of the box. You might have the sff version of the Optiplex 3010. SFF stands for small form facor and that case may be too small for the card. I'm no epxert though. My case is either the mini tower or the desktop tower. It's abit confusing.
Hi, i just uploaded video and shows you how to upgrade bigger video card for gaming by removing hard drive cage. ruclips.net/video/Bjtpp-fIx_Q/видео.html
i have the same too. but the seller told me that i cant upgrade my graphic card since it only have 240w psu. So now i know that i can upgrade the psu. can i use any graphic card that i want, say rx 480

Hello do you think the 290W PSU from the 3020 MT would support AMD RX 460 2GB DDR5 , no cable connexion , 75W cons. The red one OEM.
I have seen lot of Pc builders youtubers , recommanding this card for pre-build cheap config.
I have heard Dell Optiplex Pre-Builds have problems with AMD GPU , is that true ? like the card isn't compatible.
Do you have any experience with the RX 460 2GB , i don't know a lot about PC.
Thanks you.
Hi, yes it should work fine and you can upgrade power supply at least 450watt....
did you try a rx460 in one of those Dell Optiplex ?
I have heard this graphic card have some problems with dell optiplex pre-build. BIOS problem.
Thanks you for your time.

Yes it does work proof on benchmarks and if you did not buy that video card you can go with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650.
@@Mxkdt Hello , i got the graphic card ( RX 460 2GB ) and i have a problem , it's working well in games , i have lot of fps etc
but when i push graphics and my GPU go to : 68-70°C and my PC go to sleep mode instantly , i can't do anything , i have to restart PC.
This card is plug and play , no power cable , do you think this is the problem and should buy a graphic card with power cable for less power from the motherboard ?
I tried with the 290W PSU from dell and a 550W Corsair , and it still crash.
Thanks you.
good afternoon my friend. I have 3010 sff and I want to insert ssd nvme there into the pci-e slot. How can I contact you?
would gtx1650 super aero itx work?
can you use a full modular power supply in these?
Yes
I dont need the CX600 so will the CX430 be a good alternative and right size? I am gonna buy a 3010 and add a 1050ti to it. Comes with an i3-3225 or i5-2400 depending on which i buy. Any suggestions for other power supplies would be good too
Hi, you can use brand name power supply like corsair, antec, seasonic, cooler master, and yes you can use corsair cx430
Alexander George Politidis Yeah basically because of the much lower power usage I was considering being stingy and just adding the 1050ti to the i3 PC with the default power supply, but I've decided I will buy the i5 one and upgrade the power supply most likely :)
dude but you can't run this graphic card on 3010. gtx 1050 ti these graphic cards are new generation cards so they may cause some bios issue please go with the gtx 750 ti or go to this site and ask from them, they will help you, i also own a optiplex 3010 and they suggested me that don't buy the new generation GPUs because of bios issue ..

eer Sam Are you mad? The 750ti is a nice little card but it's on it's way out and struggles to get 60 on lower settings, and certainly not at 1080p. Obviously I'll just start from scratch with the build rather than make such a ridiculous compromise just to use pre built..
UnsociableEthan wtf! I was just trying to help you and you are saying I'm mad, just go to hell dude see there
Is there room for a 120mm fan in the front panel?
No, there is room for one 80mm or 92mm fan only
@Mxkdi Is it possible to get a Windforce 7970 inside this Tower? Just have this card here and would love to use it.
do u have 16gb of ram in yours?
im buying a motherboard for one of these of ebay{20$} to use in my budget gaming xeon pc project will this motherboard still work depsite it being OEM
is 1333MHz ram good because i just got that and its 16gb.
Did the 16 work?
@@jawid2250 yes works great!
guys i have a problem...can i change the case of a dell 3020 sff?will the motherboard be compatible with mini atx cases?
Good video. What where the original specs on the optiplex 3010?
original specs intel Core i3 and 4gb memory and 250gb hdd
Upgraded to i5 3470 quad core cpu and 8gb memory and 500gb ssd drive, and 600w power supply and gtx 950
What about the zotac gaming 1650 4gb gddr6?
Hi, yes zotac gaming 1650 4gb gddr6 will work fine in this PC.
Will a evga 750ti 2gb gddr5 work on dell optiplex 3010 My without adding psu?
Lyrics Godz yeah im too but some gtx 750ti need pcie 6pin and when change graphic card have pcie need buy new psu hahaha
Would a gtx 760 gpu fit in this PC?
hi may i ask how many hdd can you put in it?
Hi, you can put two 3.5 hard drives and one 2.5 SSD.
if I replace the brackets on a gtx 650 will it work?
Hello! Can I add a second hard drive on this PC?
Yes
Can we use 2fans graphics cards like gtx 750 ti gigabyte windforce 2x edition
Depends on the sizing, you would need a smaller gpu to fit inside of the sff (mini) case
My RX570 fits nicely into the Mini Tower (MT) version 3010.
him pulling them cord out so easily while im struggling pulling the cpu fan cord out
What is the max gpu length for this pc because i was thinking of getting this but im not sure if the gpu i want will fit.
The Krumpet King have Asus GTX 960 strix still plenty of room

WAL3RKZ does the orgi al psu have a 6 pin thats free because i want to get this pc and put my gts 450 it needs a six pin connector tho
Need upgrade PSU stock doesn't have 6 pin
Thanks! good video!
I bought a used optiplex 3020 online(it will arrive in a few days), it comes with i5-4570 and 290w psu. If I install 1050ti (75w), will 290w be enough?
and did you test your upgraded PC? because some people told me that DELL use special PSU, but I am not sure about this.
if I could just replace the stock PSU by any other PSU, then I would buy a GTX 1060
Hi, yes 290w should be enough i recommend you upgrade at least 450w power supply and you will need ATX 24pin to 8pin power supply cable adapter and adapter available online cost around $15.
GTX 1060 will not fit this mini tower case only EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC GAMING, ACX (Single Fan Video Card Will Fit Fine Only 6.8 Inches
Mxkdi What does the 24 to 8pin adapter do?
and the 1060 that I would buy has one 6 pin cable slot
Your 290w power supply uses 8pin to motherboard connection and when you upgrade to at least 500w it uses 24 pin that's why you will need to buy adapter separably
hey got the same pc im trying to upgrade the psu, its 24 pin so any atx psu should work right?
Yes, you should buy like brand name power supply like seasonic, corsair, antec
could you put a NVidia GeForce gt 1030 in this without upgrading the psu?
Hi, yes you can.
Are the headers on the motherboard standard?
Iamsasquatch Power, HDD led are standard, usb headers, mobo CPU are standard
Ali Abbas Thank you!
Iamsasquatch no problem, but evey motherboard has them positioned in different areas apart from the CPU and mobo power header which has stayed in the same place in every mobo
Can i put a gtx 1060 or a gtx 1070 in optiplex 3040 please need help
Can the stock 3010 fit and power a gtx 770?
Sadly, the gtx 770 is a large graphic card measured over 25cm. This means that it would not fit in a mini or sff Dell optiplex, if you had a mt Dell optiplex then it would fit but you would still require a psu upgrade.
Hello i know this Is an old video but can i install without upgrading psu a gtx 1650 on this machine but desktop size not mini tower not sff i wait your answer thanks and which 1650 model if yes
It needs to be the low profile version of the 1650 to fit the 3010 DT. In terms of whether the 250W PSU can handle it - I'll let you know, as I'm waiting for an MSI-branded card to be delivered for that Optiplex. From what I've read it should be OK. I'm wondering if there's a 300W TFX PSU that would be compatible as I also fancy putting an i7-3770 in & upping the RAM from 8GB to 16GB - would be good to have more PSU headroom. Disconnecting the optical drive & using an SSD instead of a HDD would also save some power.
@@chrisjohnroach i have seen videos of machines like hp elite desktop 600/800g1 with 240w psu and they throw a gtx 1650 lp in there and everything fine so i think u dont even have to upgrade 😂 please Let me know if everything works fine with it because i see people recommend it but i have never see It working on 3010 dt and thanks for answering Man
@@jesustheflow256 OK so the MSI 1650 LP card arrived today, installed it & Windows wouldn't boot, I just got a black screen. Tried again but F2'd into BIOS settings first - didn't change anything in settings, but this time it booted fine & Windows soon found the drivers automatically. I ran the system with an SSD only, so no mechanical drive, optical drive, multi-card reader - just to be cautious. Ran a PassMark bench & got 8619.3 for 3D graphics - integrated Intel HD 4000 got 247.6! Tried No Man's Sky & runs great. I've also since upgraded the PSU, but the card did seem fine with the stock 250W. I've put in a 300W Be Quiet! TFX Power 2 & I think I'll now also get an i7-3770 & up the RAM to 16GB. Total cost so far is £300, that's for the Optiplex 3010, 500GB SSD, 1650 GPU & the 300W PSU - got really good prices on everything however.
@@chrisjohnroach thats great im really glad for you i hope you enjoy it and thanks so much for letting me know that it really work
can any atx power supply fit in the my dell Optiplex 3020
Great Video Mxkdi. :) I have a question you can hopefully answer. I put in a GTX 750 and it works great but now I want to put in the new GTX 1050 TI and I can't get the old card out because the white lock on the pci slot wont budge. Any tips ?
By the way, my mobo is Dell 042P49 which I believe is the same as in this video.
Nevermind, I finally got it unlocked. This ones lock is the toughest one I ever faced.
Nick Carter I have the optiplex 3010 and when I was trying to put it the gtx 1050 ti in, it stuck out of the box, am I just installing it wrong?
It shouldnt stick out of the box. You might have the sff version of the Optiplex 3010. SFF stands for small form facor and that case may be too small for the card. I'm no epxert though. My case is either the mini tower or the desktop tower. It's abit confusing.
Nick Carter could I just not put the cover back on and have it hanging out?
Does every 3010 model come with 2 ram slots?
yes. 3010 MT, DT and SFF with 2 slots
how long of a graphics card would this case allow?

Changing processor i3 2nd gen to i5 3rd gen in dell 3010 possible or not
Hi yes you can upgrade CPU dell optiplex 3010 to core i5 3450 or 3470 or i7 3770. You have to install latest BIOS A22 before upgrading the CPU.
@Mxkdi is this the biggest one (in size) of the dell optiplex 3010 series ?
Yes
i have the same too. but the seller told me that i cant upgrade my graphic card since it only have 240w psu. So now i know that i can upgrade the psu. can i use any graphic card that i want, say rx 480
