Question, im kind of new at this so excuse my ignorance. You have two things here that do the same an ssd and a hdd . Why do you need both, whats the benefit of using both? Are they both operating at the same time? which is one is the computer first choice for storage?
@@imjustscrollingthroughthec8935 Passive cooler won't fit as far as I know. I got this card: Gigabyte GV-N1030D5-2GL (1030GT DDR5) I have the same as yours - the i5-6500 I only have one 8GB RAM stick in there, plus a 8TB HDD. You may want to dump the two SSDs and get one larger one. I still have the optical drive in there, but I never use it.
So, I have this same PC with an rx 6400 in it, and for the pc to post with the gpu installed I need to turn off safeboot. Is this the same case with the GT1030?
do you added a bluetooth adapter? i have a 3050 SFF and i tried two different usb bluetooth dongle, but they have the same issues: the connection is not stable, and the sound stops randomly (tried with win10, ubuntu and debian).
i bought a TP-LINK BLUETOOTH 4.0 NANO USB ADAPTER and it works for me, no connection problems. I have a windows 10 & 3050 SFF. I know its late but I hope that helps.
just get a case and power supply and add a 1660ti or vega 64, if you want a cpu for upgrades get a i5 9600kf as it still fits the 1151 cpu slot most optiplexs can fit n itll slightly bottleneck your system but not by a lot
For upgrading the video card in an OptiPlex 3050, you'll likely need a low-profile GPU due to space constraints. Something like an NVIDIA GTX 1650 Low Profile or AMD Radeon RX 550 Low Profile could be suitable options. As for the power supply, a 300W or 400W power supply should suffice for most upgrades. It's essential to ensure compatibility with the form factor and power connectors of the OptiPlex 3050. Brands like Corsair, EVGA, or Seasonic offer reliable options. Always double-check compatibility and power requirements before purchasing.
I have a 500w external power supply and I want to install a gtx 1050 ti graphics card, but the motherboard has a pin-6, can I run the card safely (I have a cable from 24 to 6)
The layout of the 3050 in this video shows there is only room for a single slot LP card, so just getting low-profile isn't enough, because that one slot runs right against that power supply. For this you need both LP and single slot - The first 1050 2GB LP I found on a search looked like it was a 2-slotter.
Sure. But you'll want to upgrade the power supply to support high watts. So you don't short circuit everything in your pc with all the beefy additions. These optiplex come with 180 watt stock. Low profile gpus are fine but higher ends one might be risky to run on 180 watt
Hi, guys yes you can use rx 6400 lp only if you upgrade power supply and gtx 1650 lp will not fit in dell optiplex 3050 sff because pci express x16 blue slot is located on the bottom.

Thank u
how about zotac gtx1660s
Sounds like asmr when you explain in a quite voice it’s relaxing and i learn more!
Hi, thanks.
Man hearing you click in the ram sticks is so satisfying lol love this video dude I just picked the exact same model up for $120
Hi, thanks.
Picked up mine for 37$
Same
But I live in the UK so it was £120
i got mine for 60$@@s17sgaz99
How does that gpu breathe as there is no space and no case fan to pull air in?
Thankyou for the break down of the dell PC
May you do a video about upgrading parts of a Optiplex 3040 but the sff version?
Is invdia g force 730 works on case dell 3050 ? please replay
Got a hold of 2 of these to-day. Labeled as Refurb, but has Win 10 Pro, with the i5. Haven't tested them yet!
Youre back bro!
Hi, yes thanks and i have 2 more videos to upload this week a teardown and reassemble new video for dell optiplex sff.
@@Mxkdt Keep it coming bro its always a treat!
and about the GPU temperature, is it a problem? because it have litte space to air flow.
It'll be fine

I remember psu requirement of GT 1030 is 300w. And psu of dell 3050 sff just 180w. Is this still okay without upgrading psu?
I have the 3050 SFF 180W - I have a Gigabyte GV-N1030D5-2GL (1030GT DDR5) in there and have no issues.

I still have the optical drive in there, but I never use it.
GT 1030 uses less than 75 watts it is a very low power poor performing card
So, I have this same PC with an rx 6400 in it, and for the pc to post with the gpu installed I need to turn off safeboot. Is this the same case with the GT1030?
Did you manage to get system to post? My pc wont show anything, even when GPU is disconnected and monitor is connected to motherboard
A 4gb graphic card would be a fit with this desktop?
Yes, low profile.
Can a quadro p5000 be used in this system
do you added a bluetooth adapter? i have a 3050 SFF and i tried two different usb bluetooth dongle, but they have the same issues: the connection is not stable, and the sound stops randomly (tried with win10, ubuntu and debian).

Hi, thanks.
Low Profile 1650 can be used in this type of Optiplex?

yo this is my first pc, the geforce gt 1030 low profile works for gaming?
yes, for older or not very demanding games. these types of builds are best at emulation
@@Ionic0 do you know if it can handle a dark souls
HI, you can play some games on gt 1030 and you can upgrade video card to rx 6400 low profile.
yeah, at low settings. Fortnite, apex, indie games, roblox, minecraft, also especially anything before 2013
Personally I would have left the NVME & HDD & RAM in there and used the money saved to buy a better graphics card
That's the best money can buy for that specific proprietary psu, at that point I would have bought an ssd too
Its fine for a budget , you don’t always need the best just something that gets the job done jesus christ
Hey, i have a dell optilex 3020 slim , i wanna get a GTX 750Ti, will it work or i need to upgrade the psu.

Hi, you can only install one 3.5 HDD in SFF PC.

If I upgrade it enough can it run steam vr, meta link, and pcvr?
