    the reason the cpu cooler didnt work is bc it was a 3pin not a 4 pin, i have an aftermarket cpu cooler that works just fine but its 4 pin, also i have an aftermarket case fan and it works too. so if your gonna do aftermarket fans, cpu coolers etc make sure its 4pin

    you should really try the HP Prodesk 400 G3 its basically the same as an 600 G2 but it has 0 proprietary annoying things, it has detachable IO Shield, 24 Pin power connector, a second USB 3.0 connector next to the 24 Pin and im not sure but i think it has a detachable CPU Cooler Bracket and of course it has stantard M-ATX screw emplacement :)
    (Edit : The second "USB 3.0" connector isn't actually an USB 3.0 but a "COMB" connector, it's some HP adapter thingy but you can still buy a 90 degrees adapter for the usb 3.0 that's blocking the GPU :)

    Love the videos man! I was just wanting to see if you got another optiplex case swap video and you just uploaded!!! I’m trying to recreate this for an optiplex 7080 with intel i7 10700.
    Btw you can jump the middle two pins on the power switch connect and it will get rid of the error. The jumper is like 3 usd for 200 of them.

    Honestly its a better idea to just get any standard cheap atx or m atx mobo to transfer the cpu and ram into for a chipset that supports the cpu
    In this case a h310 mobo would have done just fine
    Its like 50 bucks or so used on ebay
    Maybe even cheaper if u look in the local marketplace
    a Bent pcb
    No front io
    No io shield
    no cooler upgradibility
    And gpu limitation to the point that you had to choke it with a riser
    Are enough reasons to do so
    What you spent on the riser/ psu adapter and cooler to get a backplate are enough to just get an another board with i think

    Lmao, this whole build went downhill haha.
    Here is a few tips.
    1. If Use PWM fans for the cooler and exhaust, then you don't have to keep stock cooler and fan. I've put a tower cooler into my optiplex with itas original case and have no issues.
    2. 8th and 9th gen optiplexs cant handle long gpus. You need to get a case with vertical mounting or buy a vertical mount (may need to cur the pcie bars).
    3. Most optiplex cant handle GPU larger than 2 slots.
    4. Jump the middle two pins of the power switch with a jumper to get rid of the power button error.
    5. You can buy make dual USB to internal USB 3 to get some of the front i/o working.
    6. You can fill the case to hole holes for standoff.
    7. 1660 super/ ti is the highest card you can run with dual sata to pcie 8pin with the 260w psu.

    What a waste of time and money turning a shit computer into an even shittier computer and wasting all them good parts on it could have built a better Ryzen for a few pounds more , the last Ryzen 5 I built cost 210 pounds so it could have been better but it did the job for a family member.

      The fact you said "Pounds" tells me you live in a first world country, where second hand PC parts are plentiful and cheap. This is not the case for most of the world, where you'd be happy to even find a CPU anywhere.
      This build is for people who have one of these prebuilts, and want to make a game PC out of it.
      But thanks for the "constructive" criticism lol.
