    I used to play games on a compact version of this.

It used an old I5 processor and had about 4 GB of ram. And I was playing games that even bring my new computer to its knees.

I used this video as a reference to upgrade it and I’ve loved it ever since. I threw in a single fan 1660 Super, 12 GB of RAM, and a 500 Watt Power Supply for good measure and it runs amazing.

  • @HardWhereHero
    @HardWhereHero Před 2 lety +2

    Just for reference, the 7010 and this system in the video, the 9010 both can upgrade PSU's without needing the adapter. There is also a workstation version of the 7010 the T1650 that can also be upgraded without any adapters or anything. You can throw them in a different case too. You have to get creative to fix the boot up errors by prying off the plastic housing that goes around the power button pin out and connect your new case PWR + and - cables to the first set of pins, place a jumper on the middle set and just leave the one setting by itself alone and the power button will work along with no boot up errors, you can also take a case PWR LED and wire it to the dell front case connector using the purple and green wire This will turn your power button into the HDD LED which will flash when you power up the pc and when there is any activity to the HDD. They only thing I cant get working that plugs into the motherboards is the HD audio for the mic and headphone jack.

    This has been my dedicated streaming pc setup for the last 2 years and has performed very well over this time to run OBS . SSD, 16gb Ram and 1650 upgrades helped in keeping a solid broadcast but it did run close to 100% on the i7 3770 most of the many streams undertaken! . The Dell was given to me to see if I wanted any parts and turned out to be a very capable machine. Replaced with an i5 12th Gen and Rtx 3050 build recently but the advice on this video to not write this old tech off is invaluable! It's now being repurposed to run as a dedicated ARK pc (it's the only Steam game I play) resulting in a very playable game on high settings even in 2022. Back in early 2020 the Gtx 1650 was only about £135 in the UK!

I went from running absolutely nothing to pretty much running anything I want in like a week. It was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Now all I really have to worry about is a cpu upgrade down the road. These are a pretty solid deal though if you're just gifted the prebuilt machine or something. I love this thing.

    I have an old Optiplex 9020 with an i7-4770 so I’m definitely gonna give it some new life! Did the same for my dad’s old Sony VAIO laptop and man, that thing could hardly boot before and now it’s up and running quick thanks to an SSD instead of the old HDD and double the RAM it had off the shelf. It’s honestly impressive what old processors can still do today when you give them decent components to use.

      The game runs at 150+ fps at the beginning on almost any half-decent four core CPU but it doesn't really get above that, no matter what hardware you're running, because the GPU literally has nothing to do..then once stuff start happening it easily drops down into the thirties and sometimes well below that too.
      Source: tested a similar GPU a couple weeks ago, wouldn't ever recommend using it. Despite Linus's benchmark saying 160 average it's actually closer to 40, which he would've noticed if he didn't leave after 2 minutes of gameplay.

    You can get some really great deals on these old optiplexes, I've used them as cheap server computers. I got one with a i5 3570 and one with a i5 4570 for $150 including tax and shipping. add more ram and an SSD and you have a pretty decent rig. The only downside is the lack of m.2 support and the need for a new PSU and PSU adapter for the motherboard power if you wanna add a decent GPU to the case. (I guess you could get around this with some dual psu jank but your tower will look like a mining rig lol)

    Best way I've found to do this is find cheap computers at goodwill. The goodwill near me is one of the only ones left with an entire room dedicated to electronics and there are a lot of $100-$200 computers. If you find the right tag you can get them for %75 off which is just insanely low

    I've actually been using an Optiplex 3010 for the past couple years, oddly enough. Comes stock with an i5 3470 and four gigs of ram (though someone upped it to eight gigs before I got my hands on it). Just using the integrated graphics on it (didn't come with a graphics card) I could run Stellaris at respectable speeds by sacrificing the graphics. Actually started buying parts recently for a new computer starting with an Asus RTX 2060. My Optiplex probably doesn't like that idea, though; it started shutting off randomly lately, a problem I believe is linked to its twelve-year-old motherboard...

Still needs some good RAM on it, but it runs the games I play just fine. Divinity OS 2, World of Warcraft (even while raiding) list goes on with high end settings. Literally nothing to complain about. These older workstations have a lot of power in them.

    I actually got lucky on this one a couple years ago. My mom's workplace was swapping out it's old hardware and were giving out their old pcs. I managed to get a Dell Vostro midi tower with an i7-2600. It's certainly not the best deal i could have gotten, hell it doesn't even support USB 3.0. But for a free pc rig it does just fine. It also came with 8gb ram, a 300w psu and an 80gb SSD. Don't know if the SSD had any D-ram cache, but it was certainly better than a harddrive. I managed to pinch a 500gb hdd from my workplace (they were throwing them in the bin anyways), and bought a second hand GTX1070. Because the 1070 requiered more power i had to swap out the PSU as well. I spent around $300 on the whole rig, and it ran very well. I have played mgs5, cod MW 2019, Far cry 4 and Metro Exodus, only to name a few. People really look down on older hardware, but in reality the only component that needs upgrading (to a certain extent) is the graphics card.
