- I got a really good deal at MicroCenter on a Micro Form Factor Dell Optiplex 7060 came with a 8th Gen i5 which is pretty good but I need a i7. This video shows how to upgrade the processor.
You ROCK! Great video for an old guy with his first SFF Dell 7060! Looking forward to more about this particular unit. Be well
Thank you sir !!! Much appreciated!!!!
I JUST ordered one of these, I plan on using it as a docker server. Great video!
Thanks for watching!!!! Much appreciated!!!!!
Hello Sir.
I have the 3090 and plan on upgrading it.
Mine has a i5 10500 T 8GB Ram and a 256GB M.2 2230 SSD in it.
These little Machines are great for Desktop or Docker use.
So thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!
Have a good one and stay safe.
greetings from Germany
Thank you sir !!! You’re model is really good lucky you I really appreciate your kind words and one day I will visit Germany take care much love!!!!!
Using my 3040 in my truck to run the ECU and do live tuning. Thinking about swapping my i3 out for this i7.
I’d like to remind you to get her done!!!!!
@charleeeugene hahaha, thank you sir.
Just waned to mention that you might need to go into the BIOS to enable hyper-threading after swapping from the i5 to the i7.
Great Advice!!! I didn’t even go into the bios on my machine yet.
I had plans to get the same system to do the same upgrade but I found a great deal on ebay that already had the cpu and 32GB of ram.... Also Awesome Video
That’s great you made out real nice!!!! Thanks for watching sir
Hello Dear Charlee,
Obviously, you rock, man! I really appreciate your tutorial, and you have inspired me to upgrade my processor from the i5 to the i7 to have more power on my Optiplex 7060 micro.
I'm afraid of not making the right choice regarding the processor. Which generation of the i7 will be compatible with my computer, the 9th or 10th (or only the 8th), which version too k or t...? Can you advise me on that point with exact references of i7 pocessors? FYI: I have the last version of the bios, updated by the 24/04/2024. with same mother card than yours
Also, should I change the fan, or would my current 5V 1A fan, producing 5W, be sufficient for the new i7 processor?
Thank you, man. I appreciate it.
Regards,
ML
I would get the same generation as the i5 just to be safe. People have stated that you can use different processors but didn't want to deal with any inconveniences. I7-8700T is the way to go.
@@charleeeugene Thank you bro!
That thing you are calling a heat shield is actually called a heatsink, or more commonly called the CPU cooler.
Thanks I get forgetful sometimes!!!!
The black plastic is the fan shroud. It directs hot air out the back of the case. The actual heatsink part is the aluminium block touching the CPU.
Yup your correct sir!!!!@@zoomosis
yo man i had optiplex 3050 with i3 7310T processor,i wanna upgrade it soon so any recomendation of processor sir ,atleast i can playing some game on my dekstop.thank u
I have the same optiplex-7060. How do I know which processors will be compatible? Does it have to be an 8th Gen Intel?
I’ve heard you can use different processors but I”d stick with 8th gen to be safe.
@@charleeeugene thanks, I had a look at processor costs for the 8700T and they aren’t cheap. I got my unit second hand as a lot of companies sell their after 3-4 year and the new processor would be nearly the cost of what I paid for the PC. Did you notice a significant improvement in performance?
fyi - The 8500T has a base frequency of 2.10 GHz while the 8500 non-T has a base frequency of 3.00 GHz. Processing and power usage is proportional to chip frequency.
So the 8500 chip will work with no issues?
@@charleeeugeneit will run hotter than the non-T chip, and may or may not be supported by the BIOS
@@jschlattpog3072 That's why recommend using the T chips with these USFF machines.
What did you gain bij upgrading to an I7 cpu ?
Better performance!!!!! Hands down!!!!!
The major difference between the 8th gen i5 and i7, is having two threads per core (Hyper-Threading), instead of one.
cc150 is ok?
These little machines can actually handle 64GB of DDR4. (maybe more, depending on processor)
I believe you !!!!! The only thing that sucks is the integrated graphics.
@@charleeeugene yeah. I'm using mine headless anyway.
@GeekNamedRoss Just curious. Have you confirmed that 64GB DDR4 memory upgrade is feasible and recognized by the BIOS? I might try something like this.
@@ciscoguru69 I don't think so. On the website state only up to 32gb of 2666 MHz Sodimm. With only up to 16gb per slot.
Where can I purchase the I7 CPU?
eBay
Thanks!
