WHEN YOU INSTALL A LOW PROFILE GRAPHICS CARD IN this Dell 3020S, how many monitors can be attached to the graphics card? Does adding the graphics card DISABLE the on-board built-in HDMI & DisplayPort PORTS? OR can you put a monitor on the built-in HDMI, then two more monitors on the new graphics card? THANKS!
I have added a JSON pcie sata card to the express pcie port on my 3020S, attached 2 Teamgroup QX 4TB ssd. Power to sata card & both ssd's. Neither new ssd attached is showing up on computer anywhere. Is there something I need to do to activate the pcie express port or some setting you know of needed for the installed sata card to be recognized by computer? Running Windows 11. Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Racking my brain for a few days now, how to get computer to recognize the new ssd cards. Thank you.
I bought the same 1tb Samsung 970 Evo Plus ssd, but for some reason, my OS doesn't boot. Also, i bought a 16gb crucial ram stick, and it also doesn't work. It gives me a 2,4 light indicator, but I already switched out the coin-cell battery. Does anyone know what to do
man love the vedio I think you can better the vedio quality by having a small intro and a better title like ---- uprading a dell inspiron with a graphics card and i think you can blow up

Is that a standard tfx psu? Just thinking of upgrading to get gpu power leads
FYI - The Crucial Pro RAM 32GB Kit (2x16GB) DDR4 3200 do not work on this model. Just tested
Which ram did you end up getting? I want to upgrade to 64 gigs of ram. You think the Crucial 64 gig kit would work?
You are correct, you need Crucial model CT2K32G4DFD832A
Why doesn’t it work? Weird.
Both Crucial Pro RAM CP2K32G4DFRA32A and CT2K32G4DFD832A 32GB do not work on Dell Inspiron 3020S. It doesn't recognize the RAM.
It's possible the model numbers are the same but you need the non-pro version. The model without the heat shield works. Trust me 👍
I want to upgrade this unit with a 2TB barracuda / Seagate drive and DVD +/-RW, 8X. Are u able to demonstrate install / upgrade of these components?

i got the same pc, you think i can use a 4060 low profile on it? i know 4060 uses power but im planing tu upgrade pcu to
I intend on doing the same
@LukeONeill-iw1cd if you got the 3020s it's imposible, the 4060 is 2 slots, and de pci express is at the bottom slot. I buy it ant it don't fit 🥲
Can I exchange its prosessor?
man love the vedio

No no intro...It’s annoying. Most will just skip through it.
