- In this video I turn PC I bought at a thrift store in a formidable gaming PC capable of running FPS games on high at 200fps. Below are the different parts used in this video that you can use to create a great gaming PC for around $250.
(KEEP IN MIND THAT DEPENDING ON WHAT USED PC YOU BUY, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GET A BETTER GPU/CPU/RAM. RESEARCH WHAT YOUR PARTICULAR OLDER PC CAN HANDLE.)

I turned my m92p into a decent backup gaming rig, added more RAM and a GT 1030, very surprising results quite honestly, love it.
I actually got an old haswell i5 4440 PC for free from my school, so maybe at the end of a school year it might be good to ask an IT teacher, if there’s any old PCs laying around or beeing replaced
Yeah that would be awesome!
well done with this video! great continue and story telling/information
always here for this kind of content!
He never disappoints
Thanks man!
Have to say, it is a rather interesting experience breathing new life to older computers chucked out by businesses. I’ve done a similar project for upgrading an old optiplex 380, old core 2 duo phased out for the Q9650, and had bought the correct riser cage for it to fit a generic oem-looking single slot gtx 1050, (Though it initially was using a gt 1030 and only received the gtx upgrade back in January.) and it runs quite exemplary for an aging system.
Thanks for this cause my dad brought this for me and I’m planning to upgrade making sure that the GPU fits
How did you take out thr bracket to installe the graphic card???
@@-Winter-Lover- not sure I paid someone for this
This literally has better specs than my gaming laptop which was $800 in 2018 😂
Good work, man!
Thank you!
And then he just drops out of the scene... How rude 😂😂. Awesome video, bro
Hey, thanks so much for this! I found out I have this exact same Lenovo M81 ThinkCentre!
No problem, hope it was helpful!
Quick question is the Intel arc rock 380 6vram compatible with the motherboard bc it turns on and it shows the PC boot up and then I don't see anything after that you,help
Could you explain how you knocked that bracket out to put a 2 slot gpu in please? I’m having same issue and these single slot low profiles are few and far between
Thanks I have a similar model but with a 6th gen i7 pro, so ill be trying to get a better gpu to do some soft core gaming.
You can do 4k on that
Which website do u calculate the bottom necking
Hi im newbie😢 pls reply can i put i5-2500 with GT 1030 not GT1050TI?
hows the viotek monitor so far? I'm considering getting one since its 2k
Picking one of these up tomorrow I build a lot of pcs may post what I’m going to do with it hint external mount aio. It will be simply built to run a few game servers. So I don’t use my pc, or have to sacrifice editing time with that pc.😊
Did this very same thing 8 years ago with an HP EliteDesk 800 G1 Small Form Factor system I got for free that started life as a 4th Gen Core i5, on-board Intel Graphics, 8GB of DDR3 RAM and a 500GB HDD. Passmark scores were in the low 2000's. After upgrading the system it ended up with an Intel Core i7-4790K, 24GB DDR3 RAM, a 120GB SATA SSD, 1TB HDD storage drive, a GTX 1050 low profile 4GB GPU and a Hynix pcie 1X dual channel wi-fi card. I built the entire system for less than $400 US using all used parts with the exception of the SSD and GPU. I am still using it and this very moment as it is still my "daily driver" PC. Passmark scores are near 4500 with this new config. I played Rise of the Tomb Raider on medium setting (1080p) at over 100 FPS on average. I also played Diablo 3 at well over 80 FPS on average. No CPU/GPU bottlenecks at all. It actually out-performs both a stock 7th Gen i5 (7500)HP ProDesk 400 G4 AND a stock 8th Gen i7(8700) EliteDesk 800 G4 Tower. I have the benchmarks to prove it. I just recently swapped the GTX-1050ti with a low profile GTX-1650 but the performance gains were negligible much to my surprise. The biggest things to look out for if you plan to do something like this is make sure all your drivers are up to date as well as making sure whatever system you use has the latest BIOS version available on the manufacturer's websites. That's very important. Most all system makers like HP and Dell have your system specs and upgrade path on their websites. Just type in the model number.
Bro i have this set up right now but instead im rocking hp elitedesk 800 g2 i5 4570 16gb ram and low profile 1650, Is it possible to put i7 4790k in my rig im worried about temps is your temps fine in that rig did you put any extra fan when putting i7 4790k pn your rig?
you should overclock the gtx 1650 using MSI afterburner you'll gain a couple more fps
@@torribjanbendanillo7986No extra cooling. The system is set at 65 watts and there is no capability to overclock at the BIOS level so temps are not an issue and I've pushed this system hard with most all the test programs.
@@QuantumTechTraveler No point! The system BIOS is locked so overclocking the GPU would just stress the card and the stock power supply and will not net any gains in performance.
Can i add a gtx 1660 super or rx 580 8gb on this? obviously uprading the psu too
the pc i got can support a i7 but i cant fond what gpu it can hold which is sad
What is the website you used to tweak your CPU?
Nice one.
I have the i5 version should I just add some ram and a gpu
Yo la comprare con 32 de ram una tarjeta gráfica, un procesador intel core 7 una fuente de poder , que opinan?
Did one for my son. Put the board in a second hand case, added an nvme to the 4x slot and a gtx 1660 super in the 16x. Doubled the ram and added flashing lights... Has to boot from clover on an old pendrive (cos I'm not rewriting a bios!), but it's up in about 12 seconds. Total cost was around £280. I'm planning on adding another 16gig (£14), and a i7 4790 depending on eBay availability... He's limiting games to 200fps...
Hey dude, kind of a bit late but mind if i ask why you need to boot from clover? Seems interesting
The power supply has a range of 240-250 wats, and I put the components you use for this build and it said the power required was 251. I want to know how it could run at all, maybe because the 1050 it's low-profile but I don't know much about computers.
If you used the low profile version, you will be fine. That's exactly what I did and it worked out wonderfully
The gpu is slot powered and doesnt need extra power
@@jazzy52077 The GTX 1050ti LP uses 65 watts from the rail
I have the m83 with 240 watt psu .... but the pci e sloth is mentioned for max 40 watt ..... can i go for 60 watt or 75 watt graphic card
No you cant, it wont work
Does this work on the lenovo thinkcentre m91p
Can I install gt 1030 low profile
im gonna do this but with a case swap to what motherboard compatibility does it have to be?
micro atx i think so
That is a think center m72e older micro atx model, the m81 is a mid tower i5 12gb with a mini itx size board.
Chat gPC?
I have the same desktop the thinkcentre m81 sff also I have a core i5 2400 4 core how do I enable all cores to be used I have a gt 1030
Look up "how to enable all CPU cores on windows" and there will be multiple videos that explain it better than I probably could. Thanks for watching!
Did you leave the plastic housing that is around the psu fan out. Because I want to remove it from this pc.
I kept it, not sure how to remove it though. Sorry I couldn't help, but thanks for watching!
Soportara una gt 1030?
Hi
I have a 180w psu and i really wanted to buy a gtx 1050ti or a 1650lp but I dont know if its safe to put that gpu on my psu
And i cant find any psu for 10pin atx if you will be very helpful
Its a lenovo ideacentre 510a-15arr ryzen 5 3400g
great video I know 0 about computers and already have a m81 would you recommend spending the 300+$ and build it out or just buy a cheap pc off eBay.... not a big gamer just looking to play Rust seemed like a cool game and want to try out pc gaming
For someone who knows very little about computers, it may be a bit difficult to figure out. However, if your up for a doable challenge i would say it's definitely worth it.
@@hardwiredreview awesome thanks for the feedback
Just about to do this to my Lenovo
Nice 🎉
I am recently having trouble getting a GTX 1050 ti to work in a ThinkCentre M92p. Confirmed working in a ThinkCentre M900. Does not go past being able to boot into BIOS. Any suggestions?
Are you using a low profile model? That limits the power draw of the 1050ti so if yours isn't a low profile version, it might be too much for the stock power supply.
@@hardwiredreviewshould I use the Patriot burst elite SSD you used as I don't have enough budget and the SSD is dirt cheap at my place
Sure
@@hardwiredreview thanks for the reply. By the way what budget GPU ( Nvidia GTX series ) card you recommend for the i3 10105f ?
@@hardwiredreviewYes I was installing into a SFF M92p with a low profile GTX 1050 Ti. I did get it working in four different M92p's. Updating firmware helped with one. Otherwise, perhaps the initial motherboard was faulty.
Can we change the PSU with a normal PSU in the market? For upgrade more power.
Yes you can, in fact I would highly recommend it!
can you do one for a lenovo m90p pls
hi i found out i have the same exact pc but with an i5 an 8gb of ram i want to ask can this pc hold a 1030 gt GPU ? and if not couldu recommend a diff gpu
@@DazeisBlessed yep 1030 will work 👍 just make sure it's the low profile version
how did you make the cpu run on all 4 cores?
same question
I keep getting mandalorian ads, and nice video
Same. Talk about luck
You aren't alone captain
This is great
Another question do can a acer sb220q monitor connect to any pc??????
depends on what display inputs the monitor and your pc share
can u plz list out the things which u have added to the pc plz
Intel Core i5 2500, Nvidia 1050ti low profile, and 4 sticks of 1333MHZ RAM
Probably better than my pc lol
Ooh self roasts, those are rare
Tis true
Fr
What low profile gpu will be compatible for core i5 4590S?
all 4th gen cpus in most cases support at least gtx 1660 super
if you still reply i got a question. im planning to buy this card and i have a lenovo m73 will it fit?
a lenovo thinkcentre m73
If it is the low profile version I think it will
@@hardwiredreview low profile version as in the graphics card?
@@hardwiredreview because yours and my office pc have the same case and everything
Yes low profile version of the graphics card 👍
Is Lenovo think centre M81 sff good for gaming
depends on if you decide to upgrade the cpu and whether you can buy a decent sff gpu. if you can't buy a decent gpu, i wouldn't bother buying it for gaming
I'm 4 years late but is your pc a M78 series? Because that's the same one i was given
Yep!
Cool i can't wait to be able to start upgrading it! @hardwiredreview
Ssd or hdd
5:20 is my favorite part
Easily

i know you posted this a while back but i was just wondering because i have the same computer but how did you manage to get the graphics card to fit?
You have to buy a low profile version, that is the only way it will fit in the al case, thanks for watching!
Pin my comment good sir
@@hardwiredreview^^
What about any of this was "Fun".. C'mon man
Thanks but can u pls show the tutorial like where u put the stuff like full tutourial pls btw i got the same pc like tht
Unfortunately I don't have the PC anymore so I couldn't make another video but if you search on UA-cam there may be another video on UA-cam about this
@@hardwiredreview tnx for feed back
What size of motherboard does it have? Thank you 🤓
I believe it's a mATX but I could be wrong
@@hardwiredreview think you are right, as the case isn't too big! Thank you 🤓
I have the leveno thinkcentere it makes this error sound it sounds like beep beep beep boop
Do you have ram installed?
Yes@@Cyber_Gas
do it has to be a low profile card or no
If you don't upgrade the case than yes
My third time watching this...👍🏾
The games you are running are cpu bound so naturally your cpu usage should be higher then the GPU
This is the website for the calculator -> pc-builds.com/calculator/
Ooof, forgot to include that my guy. Thanks!
it would be great to do this with a little more knowledge, you could've had an i7 3770 there
Haha funny enough I bought that after the fact and made a separate video about it
@@hardwiredreview good to know! always do take a look at the socket, you can definitely have an i7 or in newer sockets i9 there if the generation is supported, as long as you're not limited by the power supply which for older cpus like this i think shouldn't be a big problem
I gutted one of those to build my wife a gaming pc with an I7 3770
AMAZING CONTENT BRO! LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD EVER WANT TO DO A COLLAB!
Can you play in 1440p?
No, 1050ti is a 1080p level card
How did you remove the old GPU?
The computer I have did not come with a GPU
2 core gaming beastttt!
yessir, the gpu does all the heavy listing lol
wow $20 and if search in my city this pc price is $100 (second)
Super vague on CPU using only one core and what you actually did around it. "I guess they weren't meant to work with CPUs like this" ???
"I don't think this core i5 can be overclocked cooling would be a nightmare"
No mention that that there are no overclocking options whatsoever on this type of computer/motherboard.
You went on the Lenovo website to check for max speed compatible CPU. This means your CPU works is supported and that all the cores should work.
You mention "got the software that tweaks your CPU" but do not mention what it is.
Coud you elaborate on any of this a little? there are many different software tweaks your CPU.
Then you say you "went into settings and then went into settings even more" and "I enabled the four cores". Where and how?
I'm assuming in bios?
Somebody disabled the others in bios?
I don't mean to be so critical (yes I do) but I don;t mean to be mean or anything.
A buddy came to me following your video as he is trying to do something similar.
He was pretty confused and I had to help him out a little.
Thanks.
Sorry for not being more elaborate but when I made this video I didn't really know much about computers and therefore could not go into great detail about what I did. From what I remember, the software I used was Intel Extreme Tuning Utility along with CPU Tweaker. As for the steps on how I enabled all CPU cores, I typed msconfig into in the Windows search bar, opened system configuration, selected the boot menu, clicked advanced options, and then under "Number of processors" I selected the maximum. I have no idea if this really effected anything but it's worth a shot! Thanks for watching and for the questions, I hope I was able to help!
@@hardwiredreview Hey man thanks for the reply!
I didn't need to be as much of a jerk as I was.
I should have tried to be more helpful vs. critical.
I was thinking it was one of those videos where the person didn't really care and just wanted all the video views.
The fact that you answered me the way you did tells me I was wrong in that assumption and that you are really trying to be helpful and informative.
The menu item you are mentioning LIMITS the number of processors.
The default is to use all of them.
If you change this number to something like the max it will do the same thing and use ALL of your logical processors (so no change).
You can select a lower number and use less of them.
And unchecking the checkmark goes back to using all of them.
The grayed out "1" when not checked does not mean anything and Microsoft is really stupid with this kind of stuff always.
@@n8lbv Yeah I kind of figured that menu I found really didn't do anything. I suppose most of the stuff I did really didn't help the CPU at all 🤣
@@hardwiredreview You can just go into the bios (f1 at boot) and CPU settings in there and make sure "all cores" are enabled to save using a Windows utility to do it via software.
