"Why bother upgrading this old PC?" Man dont listen to them. I had to move out immediately upon turning 18 and my PC for the next few years until I was more financially stable was an all in one with integrated graphics and an i5-2500. Running any game from the last 10 years on even Medium settings is an amazing jump for some people. Thank you for posting ❤
Exactly dude, people gotta stop projecting their realities onto others, like you aint the only one living in this world.

The only person who gets straight to the point and shows us everything we need to do in a easy and efficient way
That GPU is a unit!!! I thought my GTX 1660 TI was thick, but oh boy I was wrong.
Great video BTW
yup and then along comes the 4090's LOL
Good job young man. Just a small thing I do when I am installing the bigger heavier GPUs I put the case on its side.
Great vid. I really like what u are doing with these old optiplex and showing others they can get a great starting point for really cheap or in this Case(literally) a great gaming PC not just a starter.
speechless...you make it so simple.
Great instructional video on removing the drone cage.
It's worth mentioning any issues that might arise from propriety components, particularly if you replace the power supply .
Some Dell and lots of HP's don't use the standard connectors used by off the shelf powersupplies however this can normally be overcome with cheap adapters. HP can be particularly annoying like in later PCs (6th gen and later) it has a sensor that gives an annoying message before booting that you have to press F1 on to continue of the front usb3 is not connected. Because of using one of the pins on the socket as the sensor you can't round this by using an adapter from the front I/o to a pcie card. Always worth watching a video like yours on the particular model of Dell/HP/Lenovo that a person wants to upgrade.
Nice tutorial! I was originally going to do this in my Dell Precision T1600 case but I decided, for now anyway, to just purchase a ePCI riser cable, 3D print out a stand, and mount my RX 580 outside of the case. The only problem I have is I am afraid of my curious kitty playing with the GPU fans! I already caught her playing with the CPU fan once as I heard a "brrr...brrr!" sound and saw her hitting the fan with her paw! Lol!! It was very funny at the time, but the GPU fans are MUCH bigger and faster and may hurt her. I may have to go back to your idea here, but I may have a problem with the SATA ports being blocked. I already have that problem with the old HD 7770 card I put in there for now. I had to disconnect the DVD player. Not a big deal since I have several USB portable ones. Your video makes me want to give it another try when (and if 😕) my health ever improves.
Looking forward to your next video. Be well and Happy Holidays!!! 👍👍
Yeah, with this specific mobo you can have clearance problems with sata. But you can get 90* cables which don’t block the gpu!
@@kennyskomputers1009 I actually tried the 90 degree ones and still no go with the DVD port and the HD 7770. It worked for the SSD and the storage hard disk ports. It was just a tiny fraction too high for the DVD port as it was directly under the GPU.
Yea the 90 degree sata cables avoid that issue, but if your card is too long & wide like the 980 ti I was planning to use, it also runs into the front usb plug on the 710 mobo. Damn near broke it before I noticed it was catching. Had to settle for using an old radeon r5 2gb card I had laying around until I can buy something better that is short enough to fit.
I dunno if I'd go through all of that effort to put a 3070 in an old optiplex like that. You'd be better off getting a Dell XPS system with a 6th or 7th gen CPU, DDR4 RAM support and you don't have to pull metal drive cages out. On top of that, you need a 25-pin to 8-pin power supply cable for Dell's proprietary 8-pin connector for any aftermarket power supply becase 280W is not enough for any RTX 3000 series card.
I got a free 3050 Optiplex and have a sweet gaming rig now after throwing an SFX PSU with the adapter you mentioned, in it to power the RTX3060 Dual fan I got for it. The 7th gen i7-7700 is rocking every game i throw at it and I didn't have to spend all that much to get it up to gaming specs. The older Optiplexes like his will still do gaming as long as you pay attention to CPU and GPU utilization to avoid bottlenecks.
@@GTORazor that's awesome. The RTX 3060 is one of the most popular cards right now because it has the best price/performance. The i7-7700 should still provide solid performance for most games. Just make sure there's ample air flow going through the front and back of the case and the i7 has a good heat sink.
@@pjasonq It does, I added a Coolermaster Copper core i70C, I get solid 60fps in everything and if I can unlock the vertical sync in the game, it goes in the hundreds of fps. I have Afterburner and Riva Tuner running to keep an eye on temps and usage and any bottlenecking. This is my first toe back into PC gaming in almost 15years. Loving the low budget builds with Optiplexes. I am adding a side cover fan as well to exhaust heat, 80x80mm ought to do the trick with some mods to the case.
@@GTORazor You can get so much more for your money these days...I'm always amazed at the prices I pay for used PCs when I know several years ago they easily cost hundreds of dollars.
@@pjasonq I work in IT Support and regularly get them cheap or free when people and companies upgrade. That is what prompted me to try building a gaming PC from an office Optiplex, lol. If I had a better selection I would have snagged a newer 8th or 9th gen if i could.
You could us a pci-e raiser and mount it vertically 1 better stability against pcb banding over time
Technically you don't have to remove the motherboard to remove the drive cage. You can drill it out with the motherboard in and then blow the case out with a can of air or shopvac.
Yes, you don't have to remove the board. But having it removed from the system can prevent aluminum shards from sticking to the motherboard, causing a short. Plus it can make it harder to safely cut the bay out without causing damage.
That's how I did it, because I was lazy. Didn't affect my system, but admittedly, it was a risk even after vacuuming out the case.
@@kennyskomputers1009 I'd have removed everything including the PS before drilling. Compressed air simply can't get all the shavings. So I agree with your method.
Amazing video man, i hope you post some videos testing games on this pc so we can see how powerfull this system is.
Great video! But how to fit in a long GPU into a newer Optiplex Mini Tower model, such as 3060 3070 5050 etc. The depth of the case is just a little bit too little in order to fit in a Asus Strix GTX970 which is 279mm. IS it possible to do vertical mount with a riser cable?
nice tutorial. Keep up the goodwork..
Thank You Halaand!
Nice tutorial bro.
very helpful +1 sub
At his age i couldnt even peal a banana. Hut off
great video!!! you forgot to mention that you should pull the pcie lock off and screw in the card instead
Would you know anything about upgrading a dell inspiron 5680 by chance? Im working with a singlw fan gtx 1660 ti but am wanting to upgrade to an rtx gpu someday soon
What an absolute MONSTER of a card! What does it do? How many ports? What are the power requirements for this card? So no USB ports in the front of the machine? (dear god I have a lot of questions) Where did you place the SSD Drive? (I'm exhausted asking all these questions) (just pick one or two at your leisure and answer the ones you want) (really good videos btw, like your energy)
Well, the card has 6 ports, mostly HDMI and Display port, the ssd can go under the dvd drive, and I’d recommend at least a 550 watt psu for running a 3070!
pov you won a gpu giveraway:
Hey, this is a great. However, you really need another PSU that has high wattage to run that huge RTX 💀. If not, the GPU would not run at all.
I said that in the video.
1:26 Screwdriver and Drill Required
Looks like you're well on your way to a sleeper pc.
woah what about the power supply? i dont think the stock psu can handle that gpu
You should have mentioned the need, at 4:45, of vaccuming out all the metal filings.
For that Rtx 3070 your gonna have to solder on a different cpu socket because even the best cpu possible for it severely bottlenecks it
Good start with the system dude. But the drivecage is also attached to the front side of the case with ribbits. You should not bend the cage because you can bend and damage te front of the case. If ya want to install a front fan you can also drill the front raised metal stumps flush. Have fun modding 👍👋
Very late reply, but you don't need to drill out those last rivets on the front of the case. If you have an awl or a heavy duty icepick & hammer. You can push the awl or icepick into the rivets & then rotate in circular movements for a bit to widen the holes & the rivets just fall out. And the others he drilled out can all be knocked loose with a hammer and a long flathead screwdriver. Takes a bit of muscling, but no power tools at all.
I recently tried to add a new graphics card the same size but found it blocked the connections from the motherboard to hdd. Better to buy or build new pc but good job with this.
You can also buy a 90 degree connector that will fix your issue with the connections.
Go Purdue!
Boiler Up!
Hi, I have a question. Am i able to install rx480 videocard on my optiplex 7010 DT? I know standard PSU is too low for this card (like 250w), but i'm going to move all components from 7010 case to another with 400w psu. So i wonder if rx480 will fit in my 7010 motherboard, like does it have all required cables, inputs etc?
Yup! It’s just down to having the right psu to power it all!
@@kennyskomputers1009 thank you for answer) i have pretty cheap HQ400 psu, i hope it would be enough
Wouldn’t you need to change the power supply ?
I agree. Theres no way that stock PSU is at least 600w.
thank yoouuu!!!
Dell Power!
Thank you for showing this. I have an optiplex and am wondering how new of a card I can put in. Optiplex 790 with 600w PSU * 2 -8 pin power plugs* . Considering a 3060.
At that point you can pretty much run whatever you’d like! Anything that won’t bottleneck the cpu will be absolutely fine with that power setup!
2 issues with this tutorial is that, number one, you can't plug your usb 3.0 header and number two is that the sata cable will in your way when you are plugged your graphics card in.
Yeah, I believe I mentioned in the video that you may need 90 degree connectors for those… I’ll check, if I forgot to mention it I’ll add a caption.
Just use a sawsall 😂😂😂
What's the first thing he unplugged my PC is a refurb and it doesnt have one probably because I paid super cheap for it
It’s a little button that confirms to the co outer if the side panel is installed or not. It’s not an important piece by any means.
i guess it could be great for making a sleeper gaming pc
great video but you totally covered the SATA connectors so now cant plug into them!
I mentioned that you should buy a 90 degree connector if you want to put a larger gpu in.
Not to be rude... But i think your gonna have a huge bottleneck with the CPU in this build, i think the most common CPU with the 7010 or 9010 are the i5-3470.. i also have a dell 7010 but its a SFF with the GTX 1630 LP and an i7-3770K, please don’t ask why i choose that GPU, 19 yo me didn’t know that it was a scam. vawesome channel btw!
Yeah, the 3070 was just a spare card I had, so I was using it for demonstration for the video.
I needed this video
I'm upgrading my 7020 mt been trying a figure out what gpu and how to make one fit if I buy the wrong size
I have also 3020 3010 7010 I'm upgrading soon
I am using a 7020 at atm it's an i5 4590 i have it paired with 20 gb of ram and a gtx 1060 6 gb works great!! no psu swap or anything just bought a sata to 6 pin connector and done
good job!
My gpu kinda hits the ram holders and I have to push them out so….
"How to CPU bottleneck your gpu with a windows 7 era PC"
What’s better to do without a drill is to just take the motherboard out and take everything out install a new psu install a new case and then you can finally do that
That ends up costing more in the end, and this video is more budget-oriented.
I have the older model like 380 the cpu fan is gigantic with plastic cone like, i try to put 9800gtx and not fit
Now Sata ports are hidden.
That’s what 90 degree ports are for!
Ty so much
I installed a dual fan rtx2060 with ease, but removing them is hard.
They’re easy to remove if you press the button on the bottom so it just pulls out!
nice video. hate it whenever I can't fix my rtx 4090 in a dell optiplex 390
incase you missed it, this is a not so funny joke. I don't want to hear anything about bottlenecks.
Just because you said you don’t want to hear anything about bottlenecks, I’m inclined to let you know… I think that may have a slight bottleneck… 🤣

RTX-4090?
orange
i hope it works in a 990 optiplex
I can't find your link for how to connect the PSU to this GPU. Dell with it's proprietary fan connectors, and weird 2x2 CPU power, I'm having trouble putting an nVidia GeForce 1080 in mine even with my own PSU.
The stock PSU won’t work with most aftermarket graphics cards, you will need to replace it.
@@kennyskomputers1009 yes, 3:05 you said you'd post a tutorial. Here, you put in an aftermarket graphics card, which requires two 8-pin power connectors your stock PSU doesn't offer, and didn't show how you finished connecting it. I have an "EVGA SuperNOVA 650 P2 650 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply" and when I took it off my custom i5 to put it in a comparable Dell i7 to what you have here, I ran into what I believe were compatibility issues.
Yeah, I did say I was going to make a video on all that. I don’t have time to make much of a response right now, but I had some stuff come up and an unprecedented move, so I currently am not in a spot I can make new videos right now.
Next video run that gpu with the stock dell PSU 😬
NO WAY It fits
How the heck am i gonna get my ssds in
I have the same thing. I want to buy a GTX 1060, but its size is large, and I do not know how to install the storage space connections because the card space will cover the SATA cables. I hope you can help me in solving this problem. It is based on experience.
You can get 90 degree connectors on amazon or eBay that should solve your issue!
what was the point of unplugging the motherboard?
To prevent metal shavings from damaging it.
i have is video card rtx 3050 8gb
Just wondering, What about the power connectors?
I’d recommend replacing the PSU with something like a Corsair CX600. The stock psu doesn’t have the right cables, and is underpowered.
Can you put a 2022 m atx motherboard in this optiplex
Can i add a amd 580 8gb ram card to a dell optiplex 7010?
You sure can! Just make sure to run a higher wattage PSU to support the new gpu.
I thought you have to change the psu in order to play on the gpu
Depends on the gpu you’re using.
@@kennyskomputers1009 ooh ok
Real question how will this work with a 250w power supply and no 8pin cables, like are you using sata to 8 pin or 6 pin i did recently see toasty bros slap a 4060 on an optiplex with stock psu so i have no clue
As said in the video you will probably need a new psu.
@@kennyskomputers1009 ah alr
Where can I see the video of the power supply upgrade?
Haven’t had the chance to do it yet.
What power supply would you use?
will the front headphone jack still work if I unplug the front USB
nvm i checked and it does
Rip thermal
can you do a video putting a Zotac Geforce RTX 3060 twin edge OC into a dell optiplex 7040 please
I don’t have those 2 things on hand as of now. But the 7040 case cannot fit the psu needed so it you cannot install any gpu that needs external power into the system.
I would love to see him do this to a optiplex 980
I have a dell optiplex 7020 mt could i use a rtx 3050
With the correct psu and adapters it shouldn’t be much of an issue.
What’s the model of you sell optiplex? I’m trying to create a exact replica
I used a optiplex 7020.
Thank you
Una pregunta yo tengo una optiplex 7020 y mi duda es si es posible que se pueda poner una grafica rtx 3060? y cuento con pci Express 3.0 si me serviria? Ponerla? Gracias
¡Sí! debería funcionar sin problemas. sólo tienes que asegurarte de tener una fuente de alimentación que tenga suficiente potencia y los cables adecuados para conectarla a la gpu y alimentarla bien. ¡Espero que esto ayude! y estoy usando un traductor, así que perdónenme si esto es difícil de entender.
@@kennyskomputers1009 muchas gracias hermano entendido a la perfección 💯💯💯💯
Could I add the Samsung 970 evo m.2 nvme sed to the optiplex?
Sadly, this specific Optiplex doesn’t have any spots on the mobo to mount m.2 drives :/
I can put rtx 4070 in optlix 9020 core i74770 Will it work or not?
Not a good idea whatsoever but it would work with the right psu I guess 🤷♂️
What would i do with the SSD drive?
You can really just place your ssd anywhere in the case where it isn’t interfering with mowing parts.
What GPU do you recommend for a e3-1290 v2 it's in a Optiplex like this one, I want the best GPU that'll last me some years
WellX if your on a budget the GTX 970 or 1070 is a good all-round gpu!
@@kennyskomputers1009 you think the 1070 will be good for say the next 5 years?
@@anthonyk Not really, It's already growing long in the tooth, it might be could for a year if you are lucky.
My gtx 1650 can run steam games and ca:go …. Any triple A games are on lowest setting and still crashes after 3 games
@@TheeDanIslander Dying GPU lol
did you encounter an issue with the sata ports on the motherboard blocking your gpu?
I just used a 90 degree sata cable!
@@kennyskomputers1009 Why are you being evasive about those cables that have blocked ports by the GPU? While others are commenting favorably about this video, I can't get over the fact that you just stated (only when asked btw) that you used one 90s degree cable. When actually for this model there should be another SATA cable involved, plus the USB and power I/O cable to deal with. That cable MUST be connected, yet you've glossed over it. There are "lateral" 90 degree SATAs (recommended), and a USB front panel extension cable that can be 90 degree down (to the right). I think you have an obligation to explain this, or else you are sending people on a bum steer.
OMG talk about bringing a dinosaur back to life lol! Kudos to you for doing this I might try this on one of my “computer mad scientist” days in my lab 😄🥼🔬
Doesn't apply to rtx 4090. I was quite baffled when it wouldn't fit but looked at the immense size of the card . :D
nice vid tho
Hey! So I’ve actually built a Optiplex that includes a 4090 recently! It might just be your model. If you want a parts list and pics just email me!
What gpu would you recommend for a i5 4570
GTX 970 or 1070.
So I can put a 4090 in a sff😂😂😂
Well yes but actually no.
I need help hoe to fix my rtx 2060 on my dell optiplex 3020
just did this with only a screwdriver, i do not recommend!!!
Wow… that seems like it must’ve been a pretty difficult thing to do!
@@kennyskomputers1009 it definitely was
Did you upgrade the motherboard? The stock mother board in a dell optiplex is only rated to a gtx 1650… anything higher and the gpu won’t work unless you upgraded the mother board .
I did with mine, but cannot force myself to get rid of those drive bays. I’m limited to 241 mm right now.
Yeah, I was just using the 3070 for reference to show how large of a gpu you can fit.
Can you do something similar with a small 5040?
I don’t have any with me currently, but maybe!
Then cry as the GPU uses so much power that your system is broken.
easy PSU swap
wow
