I did some gaming benchmarks with this configuration and 2x8GB sticks, and have concluded that the difference isnt big enough to warrant a change. The results were 1-2% faster with 2x8GB, so you should obviously always go for dual channel if you can, but it isnt a deal breaker if you cant :)
@giovaanflores7019 Yes and no. Yes, on paper, that is what it is stable for commercial use. No, because it can support much clocks and timings. For example, I have an i5-6600K as a media server and it is running on Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 16GB (8GBx2) 3600MHz CL 18 timings
I got an optiplex from work for free with an i7 8700, 16gb ram and SSD... once I saw how annoying and horrible the OEM MB was I just got a "cheap" LGA1151 board and transplanted everything on to it. Got a nice little gaming PC for just $250 out of my own pocket (had to buy MB, PSU, GPU, fan, case). Definitely would recommend just paying the extra for a MB for the overclocking, future expansion and no headache with compatibilities or boot-up.
Imo it's even more satisfying taking one of these typical Office workstations and turning it into a sleeper PC.. can be well worth while.. bought an HP Pavilion (i5 10400,8gb DDR4 and a 512gb m.2) for less than 100$ U.S with shipping.. added a Dual PSU sync board,secondary modular PSU and a RTX 3060ti, all in all this has cost me somewhere between 350 and 400$. To be noted that the PC was a lucky bargain as it was brand New,but the seller sold it believing it was defective due to it not starting when he had his GPU connected.. but in all actually it was just because the proprietary PSU wasn't cranking out enough Pwr.
thanks bruh my first pc build didnt even start now that i found out that the 24 pin connector aint even connected properly as fuck subscribe to this underrated guy
You can use the front I/O by getting a front I/O PCIE card which can be found on eBay or Aliexpress for a decent price giving you USB and audio headers which adds back that functionality.
I was at work when I stumbled upon this video. I liked it so much it gave me the inspiration to finally edit and upload a similar video I had taken long ago. Thank you man, keep up the good work!
My man this was an absolutely Banger, you managed to crack it even with all the messy oem parts from Dell. There's Only a few videos out there about doing an entire case-swap, psu-gpu upgrade, let alone a single one for optiplex's past the xxx20 series. Pay little attention to those comments of people "correcting" you, as a matter of fact you successfully completed the project and provided a full walkthrough guide while also scoring some pretty decents views for your channel, this was nothing but a massive W. Keep it up, would love to some more "Office to Gaming" builds form you :D
On Intel systems the difference between single and dual channel ram is a real thing, but not as dramatic as it is with Ryzen. If I were going the adapter route, I would have kept the case and added the new PSU, thrown in the GPU and instead of a case bought dual channel memory kit, and not bothered with the HDD, or at least shelled out for decent storage instead of an old laptop platter. As far as proprietary hardware, it sucks, but don't blame Dell for that invention, it has been going on for a very long time. I remember 286's that were the same way, it was very common for a Packard Bell motherboard to need a Packard Bell HDD, or IBM, or AST, or any of them really. In the early 2000s things got pretty good with prebuilts, for a while they mostly used standard ATX PSUs, cases and motherboards, but that didn't last long. Myself, I find used office computers to be a great source of CPUs and sometimes memory, it is fairly easy to find a 9th or 10th Gen i5-7 system on Marketplace for $75-100, I take the CPU, and maybe memory and storage (the 8th gen and up often have nvme drives), use those to build a proper gaming rig, then find the cheapest pentium or i3 to put into the office PC, and put it back on Marketplace for $120, it takes a couple of weeks, but it will sell at that price, and your gaming PC will be better off for it. Basically let somebody pay you a few bucks to upgrade from a Pentium or i3 to i7. Just my two cents. I certainly did enjoy the video though. Just because I have a certain way of doing things, doesn't make it the right way, and surely isn't the only way.
Im glad you enjoyed it :) Unfortunately the Screw positions for the PSU, and the housing in general (for this case atleast) dont fit a regular ATX PSU, so an upgrade in this case wouldnt be possible (unless you're comfortable with the PSU laying loose in there xd). The case is mainly there for the extra airflow, and so the pc would sell easier (kids like flashy RGB), and so it wouldnt be an eyesore. A couple years back (with the Hasswell generations) OEMs used to be WAY less anti-upgradeability with these parts, so it was a lot easier to do what you just talked about. Times were great :D I cant speak on the past before that ofcourse, but it sucks that they returned to those practices.
@@crimsontechyt Yeah Haswell with Xeon 1270 V3 were my go-to. The motherboards are 10-15$ and the cpu 20$. MUCH easier to recase. Excellent job tackling the more recent version and all its issues. I hate that they made the front panel connectors attach to the motherboard. Ugh. I think I'll just buy Aliexpress b450 Combos going forward.

You should get some acrylic rubber paint and paint your mustard and ketchup cables on the visible side of the case. Go for green accents, that way it matches the mobo 😬
My war rig isn't too far off your lovely dumpster fire. i7-6700, GTX 1050 Ti and 32 gigs of RAM. Runs like a top. An Optiplex build is a great entry level gaming rig. My advice: if anyone is considering a build like this, do know that there are plenty of capable, low power GPUs that can work with Dell's dumb PSUs. No need to buy a case. Be warned, airflow in an Optiplex isn't great but none of the hardware should be getting all that hot anyway. If anything, just open the side of the case when gaming. You'll have yourself a half-decent gaming PC that can tackle a few games while you save up to buy a "real" computer.
I turned My Optiplex 9010 into a Med to High setting gaming rig..I5-3450/16GB G.Skill Ripjaws/XFX RS RX480 Double edition 4gb/OCZ SSD..It can run Far Cry Mean Girls(New Dawn) at 1080p ultra settings and it runs awesome
My first pc was a dell optiplex handed down to me, from 2016 to december I used it, and it hot some upgrades along the way, finally retired it when i got a gaming pc made
If you place a jumper on the other two power pins in the motherboard and leave the fifth pin as is, i think that should get rid of the power button error.
That's a great tip :) I've looked at the pinout for the power button, but eventually just settled for doing it this way, since it didn't cause too much trouble (and was very confused by the schematics HAHA).
@@crimsontechyt Probably the same as the Dell 9020. If the pins are aligned such that 1-3 are on the top, and 4-5 are on the bottom. You correctly wired the switch to 1 and 4. You also need to jumper 1 and 2. (Easy was is ti use a thin staple and wrap it around both pins. I used 3 male to female bread board wires. I cut one in half (for the 2nd pin). I needed to solder that short wire to the number 1 wire. Cleared some insulation from the wire. One drop of solder. Added insulation. And that leaves 2 male pins sticking out that can go to your standard power switch button.
Using a single stick of 16GB memory is worse than 2x8 or 4x4, because you're limiting it to single channel. The cost difference is negligible, especially when buying used. The I/O shield could have been removed from the case, (as could the mounting for the Dell stock cooler - for reuse), by using a rotary cutting tool, then hot glued into the new one. An easier alternative for the shield could also be a 3D printed version, either customized (3D modeled) or cut to size (universal). Using the front panel adapter or putting a jumper on the right pins could have also solved that other F1 issue. As for repositioning standoffs, you could mark the hole locations with a crayon, nail polish, or Sharpie by placing the motherboard against the case with the standoffs removed. Drill the locations, then use a tap and die to allow for proper installation. Reinstall the standoffs, then the board. This would eliminate the possibility of shorting the board out against the case. The board could definitely fail due to flex later on. Missing out on front panel audio is not a drawback, but using a PCI Express USB 2 & 3 card would have been a plus. Also, the power supply choice is super questionable (likely Tier E on the PSU tier list), but maybe just enough to demonstrate it working in concept, not for an extended period of time. A for concept, C- or D+ for execution. At least it worked.
Ram part doesn’t matter , the difference would have been so tiny that you wouldn’t have even been able to really observe a difference. Dual channel is better though
If you don't already know on the power 6pin connect the 2 you know to turn on the motherboard the side with only 2 pins is the positive if you connect the other four pins together it will help remove the power switch problem so you don't have to keep pressing enter everytime you boot up.
Bro u just saved my life. I just found a optiplex 7040 same as yours with- I7 6700 16gb ran 512ssd 8gb graphics card( seller didn't mention the name😒 ) Psu idk ( same ge didn't mention , mostly stock) So this all for 257 usd plus i can maybe lower the price to 230. My budget is tight so i cant spend a lot maybe 300 max now the problem i live oman where pc parts r expensive plus rare ( if y have money then doesn't matters)so i found this , only thing that i need to do is sawp a case and maybe power supply that u did , i was looking video like this thnx bro.
You should try the optiplex 790 MT, it has an io shield, standard TFX psu, standard motherboard holes, a backplate, a usb 2.0 header (front io). The only limitations with that one is had is the front panel, which i made work with jumpers! If you want the pinout i documented it. The power button is just pain sadly. But i made everything else look good and work. Also forgot to note it has standard 24 pin
Guys i need help So i got a generic pc that has an h310m pro-vh plus, intel core i3 9100f, gt710, and a generic psu. Any tips on what i should upgrade?
I don't think the dvd drive is proprietary, its the same kind of connector laptops use for their dvd drives back when they still had them. You could probably chop up the power connector from the dell case and plug it in to a molex since I believe it just needs a 5v input.
can a 750w or more than 250w power supply can be put in that dell case?? i really need to know because i have lenovo 6th gen but it got 250w power supply. if the 750w power supply can be fix so it a good luck for me.
It really depends on how much space the prebuilt has for the PSU, and if it has the screw holes for it to fit. This one didnt fit a full size ATX power supply, so it needed a new case.
Are there not any adapters for the front io connectors to plug directly into the usb ports in the mb? So that the case usbs basically become extension cords to the mb’s soldered on io USB’s?
It's the same connector ar the CPU 8 pin cable, but this one also has a jumper pin that handles turning the PC on, so you couldnt just stick a CPU 8 pin cable in there unfortunately 🥲
I got the same setup but no GPU you can stream black ops 6 and other games like sniper elite 5 it's a good running machine for the price I got mine for like 100$
More please! Ive case swapped a 9020 but i just bought a 7060 mt with the i7 8700 and 16gb of ram and if like to swap it into a case. As far as i know i just need a 24 to 6 pin for psu, rear fan, and front power adapter right?
i have just 2 questions how did u get chasis fans to work with the motherboard? and did u use the backplate that came with ur cooler or did u rip it out of the dell
I couldnt connect the fans to the motherboard, since it has no connector or fan header to control the fans. The fans are just wired up to a SATA power cable. I also used the backplate that came with the CPU cooler, since the backplate in the old case is stuck to the housing.
yo i have a Dell Optiplex 7010 Tower PC it came with some quality parts but the cooling is horrible do you have any cases to recommend? the standard dell made one is a Hotbox
I used to some of this shit and had some good machines running, but I'm too lazy now 😂 But it's a good way to have a reasonable games machine at a lower price
I am thinking of buying a Pc tower from my local recycler its about 45 bucks comes with a xenon processor and 16gb of ramm and atleast 500 gb of hdd . I can probbly cad out parts if needed any adapter to fit a new case . I got a rtx titan .
How did you power the fans and rgb on them I’m doing the same thing now but ain’t got the right fan connecter there a 3 pin on mine for some reason but I’m doing it with a hp pc
Hey I just stumbled on your channel and it looks nice, but say if I wanted to just buy myself an Optiplex computer and a cheap/affordable GPU to put inside, would that work as well? I'm on like an ultra budget and I don't intend on reselling either so the look appeal doesn't really matter to me, but if I were to do that, what GPU would I be able to get away with fitting in the Optiplex 7040 without replacing or upgrading much of anything?
Unfortunately the PSU in these OEM computers are too weak to handle any type of GPU (unless they're very low power ones that dont need extra PCIe power, like a 1650). I mainly switched the case to get a better psu, so it could have a better gpu :)
@@crimsontechyt Ah alright, would I be able to swap the PSU or did Dell keep it locked in there good? The games I would intend on running would be smaller games anyways, nothing too demanding, CS2 and singleplayer story games like Fallout, so I don't imagine I would need too powerful of a GPU or anything. Would a 1650 genuinely work with it though? Apologies if I ask too much, I am just trying to learn about PC building albeit on a very limited budget.
The PSU is removeable (with some sweat and tears), but you couldnt fit a normal ATX PSU in there, since the space is too small to fit one. If you can find a 1650 WITHOUT the need for extra PCIe power (most of the time these are low profile GPUs, so very small), you'd be able to play games like CS2 pretty easily :)
Question can i put in bigger ram? Will it still work? And also please could u add ap arts list with links to buy in your description for the things u used to combate their ass connectors etc thanks loved the build
It's pretty doable as a first build :) Of course it'd be ideal to just have a regular PC with all new parts, knowing that everything is compatible, but that might be expensive. I'd say go for it!
@@crimsontechyt that was quick I just found your other pc videos and am still watching those ❤️ Btw witch of those builds is the most achievable for a beginner?
PCs bouwen is altijd leuk :) Wat bedoel je met of ik het anders kan doen? Met deze PC krijg ik rond de 200-300 fps in Fortnite (afhankelijk van de settings), en rond de 60 fps in Warzone 3. Hij staat momenteel ook te koop.
@4u5ky everything is great apart from the cpu, my i5 is only running on 45watts instead of 85. I've had a different lenovo sff sometime ago (m92p) and it didn't have any problems. I think that the newer ones limit the cpu wattage because of thermals

No way he made this single channel ram. Dual channel ram even at the lower speed is better than single channel my guy!
I did some gaming benchmarks with this configuration and 2x8GB sticks, and have concluded that the difference isnt big enough to warrant a change. The results were 1-2% faster with 2x8GB, so you should obviously always go for dual channel if you can, but it isnt a deal breaker if you cant :)
@@crimsontechyt Doesn't the i7 6700 only support up to 2133Mhz speeds ?

So i got a generic pc that has an h310m pro-vh plus, intel core i3 9100f, gt710, and a generic psu. Any tips on what i should upgrade?
The only thing worth keeping in there is the motherboard, since your could put and i5, i7 or i9 in it. Then you'll obv also need a better gpu :)
@@crimsontechyt you got any suggestions on what gpu I should get?
@@zCorruptedGG Do you know the rest of the parts?
@@crimsontechyt like the 1tb hhd, 4 gigs of ram, 500 watt psu (I'll check later again)?
@@zCorruptedGG does the PSU have any PCIe 6+2 connectors? Or is it like an OEM prebuilt?
I don't think the dvd drive is proprietary, its the same kind of connector laptops use for their dvd drives back when they still had them. You could probably chop up the power connector from the dell case and plug it in to a molex since I believe it just needs a 5v input.
I felt that when he said hawk tuah
can a 750w or more than 250w power supply can be put in that dell case?? i really need to know because i have lenovo 6th gen but it got 250w power supply. if the 750w power supply can be fix so it a good luck for me.
It really depends on how much space the prebuilt has for the PSU, and if it has the screw holes for it to fit. This one didnt fit a full size ATX power supply, so it needed a new case.
Are there not any adapters for the front io connectors to plug directly into the usb ports in the mb? So that the case usbs basically become extension cords to the mb’s soldered on io USB’s?
I haven't found any unfortunately... I may need to comb through some more sketchy AliExpress listings :)
when i get a job and actually graduate, ill try my luck at making a pc like this
see you guys in uhh 6 years
HAHA good luck 🫡
Great video I love pc flipping 😃 but how do you setup your camera like that ?
Thank you :)
I stuck my phone to the end of a broomstick with ducttape HAHA
Thanks for made this video, very helpful for me
I want that optiplex!
Thank you your a blessing bro now I think I'm a genius
11:12 isnt that just the cpu pins or gpu pins?
It's the same connector ar the CPU 8 pin cable, but this one also has a jumper pin that handles turning the PC on, so you couldnt just stick a CPU 8 pin cable in there unfortunately 🥲
Yes but how good is on gaming ? Could uou please make a part 2 with stats while playing? Or just reply me some of them . Thank you a lot mate
I got the same setup but no GPU you can stream black ops 6 and other games like sniper elite 5 it's a good running machine for the price I got mine for like 100$
Definitely i ✨vibed ✨ with this vid
should I buy a prebuilt or buy everything separate (from scratch)
Some prebuilts are pretty good deals, but most of the time it's cheaper (and more fun) to build a PC yourself :)
I did this to a 7010 with and rtx 3080 havnt experience any real issues than again I do 1080p considering that’s all I own
More please! Ive case swapped a 9020 but i just bought a 7060 mt with the i7 8700 and 16gb of ram and if like to swap it into a case. As far as i know i just need a 24 to 6 pin for psu, rear fan, and front power adapter right?
Some models have a 4 pin, and some have a 6 pin, so check which one yours have before you order anything :)
@crimsontechyt mine is definitely a 6 thank you
underrated channed bruv
Thank you! :D
Can i do this with my dell Optiplex 7040 sfff?😅
Im not 100% sure, but probably yes! Most Dell SFFs have the same 6 or 8-pin PSU port, and the same front panel connectors
@@crimsontechyt thanks You
The sff version is a pain in the a** currently working on one right now
@@youngadams97You're right, I have been thinking about how to improve it but is needed to do many things
Moral of the strory dell=hell
I have an Optiplex 7010. Will this build work for it?
Yes, it should be even easier on the 7010 :)
@@crimsontechytonly problem is they only support 3rd gen😭
can u tell me all the parts i would like to build my own please and thankyou
I listed all the parts at the beginning of the video
i have just 2 questions how did u get chasis fans to work with the motherboard? and did u use the backplate that came with ur cooler or did u rip it out of the dell
I couldnt connect the fans to the motherboard, since it has no connector or fan header to control the fans. The fans are just wired up to a SATA power cable.
I also used the backplate that came with the CPU cooler, since the backplate in the old case is stuck to the housing.
will it be same as optiplex 3080?
Yes, it should be the same
yo i have a Dell Optiplex 7010 Tower PC it came with some quality parts but the cooling is horrible do you have any cases to recommend?
the standard dell made one is a Hotbox
❎DVD reader🥱
✅Cup holder🗣️🔥👑
Can I putt a ddr3 8gb ram on my slot and add it an ddr3 2gb ram? Can it work I only have 2 ram slots
Yes, that should work. But it can vary between models
I used to some of this shit and had some good machines running, but I'm too lazy now 😂 But it's a good way to have a reasonable games machine at a lower price
Im surprised that the ssd is not somehow sticked too mobo as well ,hehe
missed that one dell 😂
I like to use the AeroCool ViewPort Mini for an ultra tight budget
I am thinking of buying a Pc tower from my local recycler its about 45 bucks comes with a xenon processor and 16gb of ramm and atleast 500 gb of hdd . I can probbly cad out parts if needed any adapter to fit a new case . I got a rtx titan .
Oooh those server PSUs are beasts, im sure it can pump out enough power for a titan :o
That's awesome
Nive video, please make a followup video with the remaining DELL components, case and stuff, mqke like a bird house ;)
How did you power the fans and rgb on them I’m doing the same thing now but ain’t got the right fan connecter there a 3 pin on mine for some reason but I’m doing it with a hp pc
The 3 pin should be on your motherboard, but for all the fans you should just connect them with MOLEX or SATA from your power supply
Question is could I do that to a hp pro windows 7 desktop?
Absolutely! It'll probably be even easier than the one i did, because older PCs dont have as much restrictions as the newer ones from HP and Dell :)
By the way this office PC is our gaming pc
it's very good what you think about dell ???
Hey I just stumbled on your channel and it looks nice, but say if I wanted to just buy myself an Optiplex computer and a cheap/affordable GPU to put inside, would that work as well? I'm on like an ultra budget and I don't intend on reselling either so the look appeal doesn't really matter to me, but if I were to do that, what GPU would I be able to get away with fitting in the Optiplex 7040 without replacing or upgrading much of anything?
Unfortunately the PSU in these OEM computers are too weak to handle any type of GPU (unless they're very low power ones that dont need extra PCIe power, like a 1650).
I mainly switched the case to get a better psu, so it could have a better gpu :)
@@crimsontechyt Ah alright, would I be able to swap the PSU or did Dell keep it locked in there good? The games I would intend on running would be smaller games anyways, nothing too demanding, CS2 and singleplayer story games like Fallout, so I don't imagine I would need too powerful of a GPU or anything. Would a 1650 genuinely work with it though? Apologies if I ask too much, I am just trying to learn about PC building albeit on a very limited budget.
The PSU is removeable (with some sweat and tears), but you couldnt fit a normal ATX PSU in there, since the space is too small to fit one.
If you can find a 1650 WITHOUT the need for extra PCIe power (most of the time these are low profile GPUs, so very small), you'd be able to play games like CS2 pretty easily :)
@@crimsontechytAlright thank you!
@@crimsontechyt or you can go with the 6gb rtx 3050, its just like the 1650, doesnt use a 8 pin cable
What computer techs are you using in that computer the ram cpu and gpu and the motherboard?
Yes, I list all the parts that I used in the beginning of the video
@@crimsontechytbruh
Bruh
Thats pretty cool ngl
Thank you :D
Question can i put in bigger ram? Will it still work? And also please could u add ap arts list with links to buy in your description for the things u used to combate their ass connectors etc thanks loved the build
Is this worth doing as a first build?
Or is that too hard
Also do the front usb's work and what was that adapter
It's pretty doable as a first build :)
Of course it'd be ideal to just have a regular PC with all new parts, knowing that everything is compatible, but that might be expensive.
I'd say go for it!
@@crimsontechyt that was quick
I just found your other pc videos and am still watching those ❤️
Btw witch of those builds is the most achievable for a beginner?
@PenguinBoi27 probably the HP one, since they had the least amount of proprietary connectors
The bottlenecking goes hard with this one 🔥
Can you help me I connect every thing but still no display at all from the gpu or the motherboard
Nice video bro, love this kind of builds lol
Thank you! :)
I have the same caseee its veryy good
Rgb is to gaming PC's what GT stripes are to sportscars?
this guy actually cook dell optiplex 💀
What a proprietary brick.
Was gaming out to the downright fire music, the n get mint mobile add
I would use the case and uhh add an external psu for the gpu cuz im too lazy and broke to swaptiplex
HAHA the most functional option is sometimes the best option, right? 😎
Love it
Man man man what a work to switch case but great job you made this is soooo tarible😂😂
What about USB extension cables for the front IOs? LOL. 🙂
Good point, the graphics card screws replace the lack of mounting holes of the motherboard. Pain in the ass but good job! F**k off dell haha
Can I buy this off you or will uu be willing to build mine? Kinda new to this
It's up for sale, but it cant really be shipped, since it could break xdd
whats the graphics card?
gtx 1070 i think? 1:56
Yes, it's an Asus ROG GTX 1070 STRIX
Would be funny if he plugs in a RTX 4090. That CPU will die the first second it turns on lmao.
Yo man ik wil er ook een bouwen,zag dat je nederlands was. Maar zou je ook het anders kunnen doen en wat voor fps krijg je?
PCs bouwen is altijd leuk :)
Wat bedoel je met of ik het anders kan doen?
Met deze PC krijg ik rond de 200-300 fps in Fortnite (afhankelijk van de settings), en rond de 60 fps in Warzone 3.
Hij staat momenteel ook te koop.
@@crimsontechyt op welke website?
bro its so pretty I use your toturial but no new case i dont need that so i dont need a new coolcer either
Ooo nice! And thanks haha :)
the cpu cooler isn't in sale for me what do i buy instead
Any LGA 1151 Socket cooler is probably fine, this cpu sips power :)
I wanna do this when I get my Lenovo sff
i did it with my sff thinkcentre m83 and thankfully its easier than than with the dell in this video
@@AroZal7 How does it perform?
@4u5ky everything is great apart from the cpu, my i5 is only running on 45watts instead of 85. I've had a different lenovo sff sometime ago (m92p) and it didn't have any problems. I think that the newer ones limit the cpu wattage because of thermals
The Optiplex looked better before 😂😂😂
500 missed calls from Dell
I'm new subscriber. Nice video. 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! :)
I have 7010 optilex i5 3rd gen, games gets laggy when i put in 16gb of ram any solutions?
What parts did you add, what gpu does it have, and what games are you running?
@@crimsontechyt Intel core i5-3570 cpu 3,40ghz
8gb ram
2gb Nvidia geforce gtx 750 Ti
Games:
*gta 5
*forza horizon 4
*Marvel's spiderman remastered
@@crimsontechyt right now i have removed the other 8gb ram my games are a bit smoother, even the pc performance was reduced when I added the other 8gb ram
It could be the memory timings, maybe they're different sticks? That 750ti is def not enough for modern games though 🥲 hoe do they run?
@@crimsontechyt gta 5 runs at 30fps average on high settings
Forza horizon 4 30fps optimized medium settings
Marvel's spiderman 20fps on low settings 😂
