I did some gaming benchmarks with this configuration and 2x8GB sticks, and have concluded that the difference isnt big enough to warrant a change. The results were 1-2% faster with 2x8GB, so you should obviously always go for dual channel if you can, but it isnt a deal breaker if you cant :)
@giovaanflores7019 Yes and no. Yes, on paper, that is what it is stable for commercial use. No, because it can support much clocks and timings. For example, I have an i5-6600K as a media server and it is running on Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 16GB (8GBx2) 3600MHz CL 18 timings
I got an optiplex from work for free with an i7 8700, 16gb ram and SSD... once I saw how annoying and horrible the OEM MB was I just got a "cheap" LGA1151 board and transplanted everything on to it. Got a nice little gaming PC for just $250 out of my own pocket (had to buy MB, PSU, GPU, fan, case). Definitely would recommend just paying the extra for a MB for the overclocking, future expansion and no headache with compatibilities or boot-up.
My man this was an absolutely Banger, you managed to crack it even with all the messy oem parts from Dell. There's Only a few videos out there about doing an entire case-swap, psu-gpu upgrade, let alone a single one for optiplex's past the xxx20 series. Pay little attention to those comments of people "correcting" you, as a matter of fact you successfully completed the project and provided a full walkthrough guide while also scoring some pretty decents views for your channel, this was nothing but a massive W. Keep it up, would love to some more "Office to Gaming" builds form you :D
I was at work when I stumbled upon this video. I liked it so much it gave me the inspiration to finally edit and upload a similar video I had taken long ago. Thank you man, keep up the good work!
On Intel systems the difference between single and dual channel ram is a real thing, but not as dramatic as it is with Ryzen. If I were going the adapter route, I would have kept the case and added the new PSU, thrown in the GPU and instead of a case bought dual channel memory kit, and not bothered with the HDD, or at least shelled out for decent storage instead of an old laptop platter. As far as proprietary hardware, it sucks, but don't blame Dell for that invention, it has been going on for a very long time. I remember 286's that were the same way, it was very common for a Packard Bell motherboard to need a Packard Bell HDD, or IBM, or AST, or any of them really. In the early 2000s things got pretty good with prebuilts, for a while they mostly used standard ATX PSUs, cases and motherboards, but that didn't last long. Myself, I find used office computers to be a great source of CPUs and sometimes memory, it is fairly easy to find a 9th or 10th Gen i5-7 system on Marketplace for $75-100, I take the CPU, and maybe memory and storage (the 8th gen and up often have nvme drives), use those to build a proper gaming rig, then find the cheapest pentium or i3 to put into the office PC, and put it back on Marketplace for $120, it takes a couple of weeks, but it will sell at that price, and your gaming PC will be better off for it. Basically let somebody pay you a few bucks to upgrade from a Pentium or i3 to i7. Just my two cents. I certainly did enjoy the video though. Just because I have a certain way of doing things, doesn't make it the right way, and surely isn't the only way.
Im glad you enjoyed it :) Unfortunately the Screw positions for the PSU, and the housing in general (for this case atleast) dont fit a regular ATX PSU, so an upgrade in this case wouldnt be possible (unless you're comfortable with the PSU laying loose in there xd). The case is mainly there for the extra airflow, and so the pc would sell easier (kids like flashy RGB), and so it wouldnt be an eyesore. A couple years back (with the Hasswell generations) OEMs used to be WAY less anti-upgradeability with these parts, so it was a lot easier to do what you just talked about. Times were great :D I cant speak on the past before that ofcourse, but it sucks that they returned to those practices.
@@crimsontechyt Yeah Haswell with Xeon 1270 V3 were my go-to. The motherboards are 10-15$ and the cpu 20$. MUCH easier to recase. Excellent job tackling the more recent version and all its issues. I hate that they made the front panel connectors attach to the motherboard. Ugh. I think I'll just buy Aliexpress b450 Combos going forward.
thanks bruh my first pc build didnt even start now that i found out that the 24 pin connector aint even connected properly as fuck subscribe to this underrated guy
My war rig isn't too far off your lovely dumpster fire. i7-6700, GTX 1050 Ti and 32 gigs of RAM. Runs like a top. An Optiplex build is a great entry level gaming rig. My advice: if anyone is considering a build like this, do know that there are plenty of capable, low power GPUs that can work with Dell's dumb PSUs. No need to buy a case. Be warned, airflow in an Optiplex isn't great but none of the hardware should be getting all that hot anyway. If anything, just open the side of the case when gaming. You'll have yourself a half-decent gaming PC that can tackle a few games while you save up to buy a "real" computer.
You can use the front I/O by getting a front I/O PCIE card which can be found on eBay or Aliexpress for a decent price giving you USB and audio headers which adds back that functionality.
I don’t really watching him building a PC, but what I really cared about is his background music choice. It’s so calming and chill. I liked it so much.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You should get some acrylic rubber paint and paint your mustard and ketchup cables on the visible side of the case. Go for green accents, that way it matches the mobo 😬
Wow, so much character in a video that doesn't even have a voice in it. Great stuff! And I really love the background in the text only scenes as well. Slay, Player, SLAY !!!
Imo it's even more satisfying taking one of these typical Office workstations and turning it into a sleeper PC.. can be well worth while.. bought an HP Pavilion (i5 10400,8gb DDR4 and a 512gb m.2) for less than 100$ U.S with shipping.. added a Dual PSU sync board,secondary modular PSU and a RTX 3060ti, all in all this has cost me somewhere between 350 and 400$. To be noted that the PC was a lucky bargain as it was brand New,but the seller sold it believing it was defective due to it not starting when he had his GPU connected.. but in all actually it was just because the proprietary PSU wasn't cranking out enough Pwr.
If you place a jumper on the other two power pins in the motherboard and leave the fifth pin as is, i think that should get rid of the power button error.
That's a great tip :) I've looked at the pinout for the power button, but eventually just settled for doing it this way, since it didn't cause too much trouble (and was very confused by the schematics HAHA).
@@crimsontechyt Probably the same as the Dell 9020. If the pins are aligned such that 1-3 are on the top, and 4-5 are on the bottom. You correctly wired the switch to 1 and 4. You also need to jumper 1 and 2. (Easy was is ti use a thin staple and wrap it around both pins. I used 3 male to female bread board wires. I cut one in half (for the 2nd pin). I needed to solder that short wire to the number 1 wire. Cleared some insulation from the wire. One drop of solder. Added insulation. And that leaves 2 male pins sticking out that can go to your standard power switch button.
My first pc was a dell optiplex handed down to me, from 2016 to december I used it, and it hot some upgrades along the way, finally retired it when i got a gaming pc made
You should try the optiplex 790 MT, it has an io shield, standard TFX psu, standard motherboard holes, a backplate, a usb 2.0 header (front io). The only limitations with that one is had is the front panel, which i made work with jumpers! If you want the pinout i documented it. The power button is just pain sadly. But i made everything else look good and work. Also forgot to note it has standard 24 pin
I turned My Optiplex 9010 into a Med to High setting gaming rig..I5-3450/16GB G.Skill Ripjaws/XFX RS RX480 Double edition 4gb/OCZ SSD..It can run Far Cry Mean Girls(New Dawn) at 1080p ultra settings and it runs awesome
I used to some of this shit and had some good machines running, but I'm too lazy now 😂 But it's a good way to have a reasonable games machine at a lower price
Using a single stick of 16GB memory is worse than 2x8 or 4x4, because you're limiting it to single channel. The cost difference is negligible, especially when buying used. The I/O shield could have been removed from the case, (as could the mounting for the Dell stock cooler - for reuse), by using a rotary cutting tool, then hot glued into the new one. An easier alternative for the shield could also be a 3D printed version, either customized (3D modeled) or cut to size (universal). Using the front panel adapter or putting a jumper on the right pins could have also solved that other F1 issue. As for repositioning standoffs, you could mark the hole locations with a crayon, nail polish, or Sharpie by placing the motherboard against the case with the standoffs removed. Drill the locations, then use a tap and die to allow for proper installation. Reinstall the standoffs, then the board. This would eliminate the possibility of shorting the board out against the case. The board could definitely fail due to flex later on. Missing out on front panel audio is not a drawback, but using a PCI Express USB 2 & 3 card would have been a plus. Also, the power supply choice is super questionable (likely Tier E on the PSU tier list), but maybe just enough to demonstrate it working in concept, not for an extended period of time. A for concept, C- or D+ for execution. At least it worked.
Ram part doesn’t matter , the difference would have been so tiny that you wouldn’t have even been able to really observe a difference. Dual channel is better though
Bro u just saved my life. I just found a optiplex 7040 same as yours with- I7 6700 16gb ran 512ssd 8gb graphics card( seller didn't mention the name😒 ) Psu idk ( same ge didn't mention , mostly stock) So this all for 257 usd plus i can maybe lower the price to 230. My budget is tight so i cant spend a lot maybe 300 max now the problem i live oman where pc parts r expensive plus rare ( if y have money then doesn't matters)so i found this , only thing that i need to do is sawp a case and maybe power supply that u did , i was looking video like this thnx bro.
I am thinking of buying a Pc tower from my local recycler its about 45 bucks comes with a xenon processor and 16gb of ramm and atleast 500 gb of hdd . I can probbly cad out parts if needed any adapter to fit a new case . I got a rtx titan .
im genuinely curious why you chose to get one stick of 16gb ram when you couldve gotten 2x8gb. you are crippling the cpu by only running single channel ram, and that old office pc cpu needs all the help it can get.
I tested the system with both single and dual channel memory, and only saw a 2-5% difference in performance, so in this case it's fine :) I did use dual channel in every video after this though, since it CAN cause problems!
Why U have not ripoff power from old case and wire with power switch cables from newone. U dont need to put it anywhere. Isolate it and let it hung. (Not really but U get the point)
I rather just remove the front facia and cut a hole on the chassis to fit the RTX 1060 in the Optiplex 7070! I'm already running an external PSU that I'm using to power the current RTX950.🤣
Guys i need help So i got a generic pc that has an h310m pro-vh plus, intel core i3 9100f, gt710, and a generic psu. Any tips on what i should upgrade?
@4u5ky everything is great apart from the cpu, my i5 is only running on 45watts instead of 85. I've had a different lenovo sff sometime ago (m92p) and it didn't have any problems. I think that the newer ones limit the cpu wattage because of thermals
Are there not any adapters for the front io connectors to plug directly into the usb ports in the mb? So that the case usbs basically become extension cords to the mb’s soldered on io USB’s?
can a 750w or more than 250w power supply can be put in that dell case?? i really need to know because i have lenovo 6th gen but it got 250w power supply. if the 750w power supply can be fix so it a good luck for me.
It really depends on how much space the prebuilt has for the PSU, and if it has the screw holes for it to fit. This one didnt fit a full size ATX power supply, so it needed a new case.
It's a good idea, but the IO ports wouldnt fit in the IO bracket unfortunately, unless you have VERY thin filament :/ (In which case it might be unstable i think(
It's the same connector ar the CPU 8 pin cable, but this one also has a jumper pin that handles turning the PC on, so you couldnt just stick a CPU 8 pin cable in there unfortunately 🥲
15:25 il suffit jute de connecter le pin libre de la carte mère au châssis du boitier 11:26 pin-5 🙃just connect the free pin of the motherboard to the chassis of the case 11:26 pin-5👍
i have just 2 questions how did u get chasis fans to work with the motherboard? and did u use the backplate that came with ur cooler or did u rip it out of the dell
I couldnt connect the fans to the motherboard, since it has no connector or fan header to control the fans. The fans are just wired up to a SATA power cable. I also used the backplate that came with the CPU cooler, since the backplate in the old case is stuck to the housing.
More please! Ive case swapped a 9020 but i just bought a 7060 mt with the i7 8700 and 16gb of ram and if like to swap it into a case. As far as i know i just need a 24 to 6 pin for psu, rear fan, and front power adapter right?

Using a single stick of 16GB memory is worse than 2x8 or 4x4, because you're limiting it to single channel. The cost difference is negligible, especially when buying used.
The I/O shield could have been removed from the case, (as could the mounting for the Dell stock cooler - for reuse), by using a rotary cutting tool, then hot glued into the new one. An easier alternative for the shield could also be a 3D printed version, either customized (3D modeled) or cut to size (universal). Using the front panel adapter or putting a jumper on the right pins could have also solved that other F1 issue.
As for repositioning standoffs, you could mark the hole locations with a crayon, nail polish, or Sharpie by placing the motherboard against the case with the standoffs removed. Drill the locations, then use a tap and die to allow for proper installation. Reinstall the standoffs, then the board. This would eliminate the possibility of shorting the board out against the case. The board could definitely fail due to flex later on.
Missing out on front panel audio is not a drawback, but using a PCI Express USB 2 & 3 card would have been a plus.
Also, the power supply choice is super questionable (likely Tier E on the PSU tier list), but maybe just enough to demonstrate it working in concept, not for an extended period of time.
A for concept, C- or D+ for execution. At least it worked.

So i got a generic pc that has an h310m pro-vh plus, intel core i3 9100f, gt710, and a generic psu. Any tips on what i should upgrade?
The only thing worth keeping in there is the motherboard, since your could put and i5, i7 or i9 in it. Then you'll obv also need a better gpu :)
@@crimsontechyt you got any suggestions on what gpu I should get?
@@zCorruptedGG Do you know the rest of the parts?
@@crimsontechyt like the 1tb hhd, 4 gigs of ram, 500 watt psu (I'll check later again)?
@@zCorruptedGG does the PSU have any PCIe 6+2 connectors? Or is it like an OEM prebuilt?
I wanna do this when I get my Lenovo sff
i did it with my sff thinkcentre m83 and thankfully its easier than than with the dell in this video
@@AroZal7 How does it perform?
@4u5ky everything is great apart from the cpu, my i5 is only running on 45watts instead of 85. I've had a different lenovo sff sometime ago (m92p) and it didn't have any problems. I think that the newer ones limit the cpu wattage because of thermals
Are there not any adapters for the front io connectors to plug directly into the usb ports in the mb? So that the case usbs basically become extension cords to the mb’s soldered on io USB’s?
I haven't found any unfortunately... I may need to comb through some more sketchy AliExpress listings :)
the dvd drive is a standerd that all laptop cd/dvd uses
500 missed calls from Dell
can a 750w or more than 250w power supply can be put in that dell case?? i really need to know because i have lenovo 6th gen but it got 250w power supply. if the 750w power supply can be fix so it a good luck for me.
It really depends on how much space the prebuilt has for the PSU, and if it has the screw holes for it to fit. This one didnt fit a full size ATX power supply, so it needed a new case.
Was that PSU even rated 😅
It was 80 Plus **something** HAHA 🙃
At 00:51 you got me, like and subscribe:)
Down with big corpo!
Hell yeahhh thank you! 💪🏻
I love this had to subscribe definately would like to see more pc builds in the future 🫡💯
What about USB extension cables for the front IOs? LOL. 🙂
Cool
Great job 👏🏾
Thank you :D
Yes but how good is on gaming ? Could uou please make a part 2 with stats while playing? Or just reply me some of them . Thank you a lot mate
should I buy a prebuilt or buy everything separate (from scratch)
Some prebuilts are pretty good deals, but most of the time it's cheaper (and more fun) to build a PC yourself :)
I just had to press f1 because i dont know for the frontpanel jack
I would use the case and uhh add an external psu for the gpu cuz im too lazy and broke to swaptiplex
HAHA the most functional option is sometimes the best option, right? 😎
Love it
The Optiplex looked better before 😂😂😂
I would have the backplate made in 3D printing.
It's a good idea, but the IO ports wouldnt fit in the IO bracket unfortunately, unless you have VERY thin filament :/
(In which case it might be unstable i think(
Lets do a Dell G5 5000 rebuild .. i hate mine
Dell case is better for me
i have the exact same gpu (gtx 1060 6gb from ROG)
Good point, the graphics card screws replace the lack of mounting holes of the motherboard. Pain in the ass but good job! F**k off dell haha
11:12 isnt that just the cpu pins or gpu pins?
It's the same connector ar the CPU 8 pin cable, but this one also has a jumper pin that handles turning the PC on, so you couldnt just stick a CPU 8 pin cable in there unfortunately 🥲
15:25 il suffit jute de connecter le pin libre de la carte mère au châssis du boitier 11:26 pin-5 🙃just connect the free pin of the motherboard to the chassis of the case 11:26 pin-5👍
loveeee these vids
Thank you :D
But is 6th gen CPU is enough for your works ?
Paired with this GPU, it's enough for gaming :)
So simple! Just change the cpu and motherboard and gpu and ram and put an ssd and also get a new power supply and that's it! So easy
If you want a cheaper alternative, you'll have to put in some work!
If you want the ease, you'll have to pay extra for it :)
The Antec case it self is expensive than the optiplex =))
Haha it depends on where you get it ;)
How is 3200 ram working I thought there was a limit
Yes, the RAM just gets downclocked to i believe 2133mhz, so it cant be used at full speed with this cpu/mobo
I’m trying this with a 7040 sff
i have just 2 questions how did u get chasis fans to work with the motherboard? and did u use the backplate that came with ur cooler or did u rip it out of the dell
I couldnt connect the fans to the motherboard, since it has no connector or fan header to control the fans. The fans are just wired up to a SATA power cable.
I also used the backplate that came with the CPU cooler, since the backplate in the old case is stuck to the housing.
Question is could I do that to a hp pro windows 7 desktop?
Absolutely! It'll probably be even easier than the one i did, because older PCs dont have as much restrictions as the newer ones from HP and Dell :)
Can I putt a ddr3 8gb ram on my slot and add it an ddr3 2gb ram? Can it work I only have 2 ram slots
Yes, that should work. But it can vary between models
I mean, you may aswell just buy an old Mobo, CPU, Ram combo from the used market that fits for the same price tbh.
More please! Ive case swapped a 9020 but i just bought a 7060 mt with the i7 8700 and 16gb of ram and if like to swap it into a case. As far as i know i just need a 24 to 6 pin for psu, rear fan, and front power adapter right?
Some models have a 4 pin, and some have a 6 pin, so check which one yours have before you order anything :)
@crimsontechyt mine is definitely a 6 thank you
I have an Optiplex 7010. Will this build work for it?
Yes, it should be even easier on the 7010 :)
@@crimsontechytonly problem is they only support 3rd gen😭
i do this but i use a dell xps and its too morte easy
