I Super appreciate it! Planning on changing my processor soon and now that I've seen this video not only do I feel ready, but I've decided to make a weekly maitenance checklist lol
I put thermal grease on & use my finger (not smearing but dabbing it all over) to evenly coat the CPU, making sure there's no gobs overlapping like what appeared on the heatsink. I've seen some nightmares where the grease insulated by overcoating & even getting on the pins.
hi I have the same pc and need to upgrade as well. what is the cpu make and model? also I want to upgrade RAM from 4 gig to 8 gig, what typ of ram do i need ? what make and model? thanks for brilliant video.
Desktop ram not netbook or laptop ram and also keep it above 1800 mhz won’t matter if it’s ddr3 or ddr4 however newer does mean longevity so up to you on that part
@@DanielJohnHowTo hello do you have instagram or any way I can message you? I am planning on upgrading my dell optiplex 755 sff but I have no knowledge in doing so. I'm very confused and would very much like some help. thanks!
Hi Danial, I saw yours has only SSD. Does it work properly? Someone told me that it cannot work without original HDD. SSD need to be on CD rome bay to make it work. TIA

I just installed 8GB RAM into a 755 & the CPU is next so I did a quick ck & found you clip to see what I may need 👍
...Core 2 Quad 2.83
Anything under 16gb limits you

After upgrading the CPU, what’s to be done in Bios??
Flash upgrade to latest version.
I have that heat sink and i cant seam to get the screws off.
the heatsink is probably stuck to the cpu, unscrew there gently twist it left/right and pull up.
Hey man what do u use to keep that ssd so still in the tray?
sticky pads, but keep them out of the way of the fan blades
Would that board fits in a full size pc case
it's a full size atx board
Can you linm the thermal paste u used
it's ARCTIC MX-2 (8 g) from amazon
Can I put 16 gb of ram on it and does it matter what type of ddr it is?
mine had ddr2 in it. you would need to check what yours has before you get more
Most Optiplex allow up to 32gb ram and won’t matter howeve ddr3 or above is preferable
do you recommend using liquid metal instead?
I have heard it's better than regular thermal paste.
how do you replace the storage?
on this particular machine it has a drive sled.

Hi Daniel, do I need to make a bootable usb and reinstall windows after or it will readily book up?
no windows will just work.

q6600
@@DanielJohnHowTo thank you

just the CPU.
Hi Danial,
I saw yours has only SSD. Does it work properly? Someone told me that it cannot work without original HDD. SSD need to be on CD rome bay to make it work.

i cloned the original drive in mine and changed a bios setting and it worked better than ever after the upgrade
