- After 6 years, I am finally upgrading from a laptop to a used Dell OptiPlex 7010 MT. But customizing a prebuilt is not as straight forward as building a PC the usual way.

Notice me :D
I noticed you
I also noticed you
I didn’t notice you
Senpai
Glad CZcams recommended this channel to me, I'll be watching you content my friend I hope you grow and thrive!
I owned and use this exact desktop paired with a 1050ti and its really the best thing you could do if you're looking for a pretty beefy (but not too expensive) gaming rig.
One of the best and most entertaining upgrade videos I've seen!
Doing the same thing now with an Optiplex 780. Great build!

I see a fellow Doug DeMuro fan here.
LMAO THIS IS SO UNDERRATED IM CRYING
Poor fool, once you start building you can't stop. 😐 It never ends...
😊
@Bananas Daily 😊 yup me too
@@MrSamadolfo me three
Well i don't want to get addicted so sell me your old setup
haha
It was a great watch!
Very good selection 👌
nice work , this should help alot of people
Impressive. You explained everything you did in great detail. Anyone watching this video can easily find and fix up a nice computer for cheap. And thanks for proving the graphics card does fit. Seems the others are copying each other and giving misinformation.
I picked up a HP business computer with a Core i5 4590 and 8GB of RAM for 75 bucks. The kicker is though that it ended up being a slim case with a proprietary power supply and even has a non standard heat sink that cannot be replaced with a standard one. Not to be defeated I bought a Haswell motherboard that was pulled from another full size business computer and accepted standard sized computer parts for $20 and removed the CPU on the slim case computer. I pulled the Sandy Bridge board out of my gaming computer case as well as the 8GB of RAM and GTX 950 and put the Haswell board in its place. I then bought a Core i3 4130 for $25 and put it into the slim computer which became my new desktop internet browser and DOSBox machine. At the time I didn't get exactly what I wanted, but after all said and done, I got what I needed.
I've always loved that case and wanted to do a sleeper build in one. I'm doing it right now. Only have a few parts but it's in the making ;)
GREAT WORK... KEEP IT UP :-)
I built a 990 opti off ebay, its great, only pain was the propietary fan connectors
My 7010 is a i7 3770s model with 16gb ddr3 and an added GTX 1050 ti. I play Battlefield 1 with medium to high settings with up to 70 and even 80 fps at 1080p. I absolutely love my gaming optiplex rig.
Ahhhh I love those Dell PCs! Bought two of the exact same ones over a year, for the first one that I upgraded I had to grind off about an inch of a corner of the XFX RX 460 graphics card to avoid those stupidly placed SATA ports... But in the end those ground off corners looked like they were meant to look like this anyway!
Currently have the second identical Dell on my desk, put a 380w PSU in it and will use an RX 570 4GB in it and then resell it.
EDIT:
Actually the grinding work on that RX 460 I had to do to make it fit into a different PC but ended up using something else in that one, would have fit in its normal configuration.
90 degree SATA cables, bootable sata card, and also silverstone makes ultra low profile sata cables. I also had an RX550 that had the corner ground down but I didn't do that.
Nice build, you did a great job! I'm glad to see decent graphics cards coming down in price now, I saw an EVGA 1060 6GB for sale for $100 the other day in immaculate condition. Awesome video, keep them coming!
Seeing this now I hope u got it
@Cayenne Captain Now we've come full circle lmao
That's a pretty good cpu ! I Put it together a Lenovo Think Centre M92P with That I5-3470 used one for my NetWork Firewall (PfSens) Box For A Year Without Any Problems At All ! Very Good Chip For What Thy Are, I Run A old Hp Z210 With a Xeon E3-1240 as a Network Firewall (PfSense) Box These Are Great Second Life Boxes For A Dam Good Price ! Still A Ton Of Life Left In Them ! Im Glad To See People Still Buying And Getting some good use from these boxes & Thanks For Letting Others Know !
Great video
It is interesting that now with so much option of new hardware and new competition from amd.. retro builds are totally hyped.. Years ago everybody complained about the missing progress in pc tech, and now that its there.. so many go back to the old hardware.. Very interesting..
🙂 some do it for nostalgia, some because of XP or 7, some because they still like the intel hardware that they grew up with
I've built many Optiplex gaming machines. They are awesome. Like you said, the looks are good, quality is good and the component choices are stout for very little money. Throw an SSD/RAM, PSU and GPU into them and you are plenty good for at least 1080p gaming on the super cheap
Good video!
I get these optiplex's all the time from work. The optiplex 3010 MT or any optiplex MT with 24pin mobo pin will accomodate a power supply to replace the stock power supply. Now, if the stock power supply is 300w or 380w, you can purchased a sata to 6 pin power cable and install your graphics card. The only cards I was able to test are older cards such as a GTX 650, 770, 950 and the 1050ti. This works well if your optiplex is equipped with the darn 6 pin or 8pin mobo power pin.
I've been running an optiplex 7010 DT with an i7 3770 12 gigs of RAM & a Radeon 7570. Everything runs great. But I'm looking at getting a new low profile GPU, & a NVME PCIe card. Also moving the temperature sensor to inside the case makes a good difference in package temps.
right angle usb3 extension thing exists, case intrusion can be disabled in bios, look for bios password jumper (remove it), cpu cooler mount looks non standard, you want 2 or 4 ram modules with the same capacity so they run in dual channel.
This pc is really good, I found one with a SSD card and 8 gb of ram, also with windows pro. Plus a Acer monitor, I just buy two cables and works perfect! In the future I will upgrade more things in this pc.
Love your Video
I took out the hard drive casing and fit a full size rx580 8gb in that bad boy! Can’t use the front USB ports but oh well!
I got mine free - they were throwing it out at the office and I just asked for it and got it.
but what is the specs becuse i got one too but hp elite 8100 with a core 2 dou e8200 4x1GB ram 160 GB& 250GB HDD
Citroen Games u do realise that’s not good...
You'd have to at least get an i5-2400. Maybe and i3 is the lowest you could possibly go to make it a viable PC to actually build
@@ed4354 ik know but it was free so idc xD
Citroen Games go into ur settings and then click about and ull see all u specs if u don’t want to open ur pc. Tell me them and ur budget to upgrade and I’ll tell u what parts to buy
this is very similar to mine - I got given an old PC by a friend who was upgrading - I swapped the pentium for an i5-3470 (£40), a gtx 550ti for a gtx 1060 (£180, but only cost me £30) and a 500gb SSd (£50). This was mostly 3 years or so ago, except the SSD that replaced a smaller one about 6 months ago.
See u got Mr Kyle himself playing in the background 👀
Hi i just want to know if i will get broblems installing a 9 inches graphic card ? Will it not tojch the sata conectors and the jumper ?
I have an Asus laptop from 2012 that I still use for certain things today as well! For the most part, Asus laptops are incredible. I had a MSI laptop from 2015 that died two years ago, but that old Asus one keeps running like a beast. I use it sometimes for modeling or video editing on the go or when I'm not around my desktop workstation. It has a second gen i7 and a GTX 550 m. It runs Win 7, but unfortunately I'm going to have to retire the machine soon because it will not upgrade to Win 10 due to the old GTX chip not being recognized by the Win 10 OS. I think it's mostly a Nvidia issue since they stopped supporting those older cards with drivers.
this channel needs more footage
such good content quality
I cant connect my 5.1 speakers pc to this DELL....any ideas of a pci or usb audio card that works in windows 10? thanks
my first powerful gaming computer was an optiplex with a 3770 and a 1060 6gb with 24gb of ram and a 500gb 850evo. it was a beast compared to most of the machines i had in the past.
Good day Sir. I noticed that you have Asus laptop K45V series which is the same as mine. I plan to upgrade the RAM to 16Gb(2x8Gb ddr3 1600Mhz). I wonder if that is possible?
I use two of these PCs as my "main" computers. Mine are 790 models but basically the same thing. They've both been upgraded to i7 CPU, 450W PSU, 16GB RAM and SSD drives. Still haven't upgraded the GPU yet, I'm waiting for the new GTX 1650ti to come out. No reason to get anything high-end since it'll just bottleneck on the CPU. In the meantime I'm using a couple of old GTX 550ti cards.
Nice vid, I'm already trying to upgrade an Optiplex to have a GTX 1660ti and an i5 9400f, probably 8 gigs ram and a 1 to 2 TB of HDD for downloads and 128 gigs SSD for a boot drive and OS. I'm also gonna have a 600 watt PSU
watch the motherboard on that optiplex if you ever do any upgrades, they are super finicky and fragile, i used to have an optiplex and one of the ram slots and one of the sata ports broke when upgrading stuff
Can you please tell me how did you bend this metal locking thing prnt.sc/qva47z
It's so hard what tool did you use to bend it?
You can remove the HD caddy cage and just use an SSD drive. It does take some drilling to accomplish this and CZcams does have videos on this. This way you can install a much more powerful and longer GPU. Although, you'll need a different power supply with a separate connector for the GPU. Another great thing not having the HD cage is that you can install the front intake fan much more neatly against the front grill. This way you can improve positive air flow for better cooling inside the case.
Adds Dram whilst sat on carpet then states one of the DIMMs is faulty. Was it supplied faulty or did he kill it with static ?
Hey , can you make a video of you testing the stock dell optiplex MT playing CSGO VALORANT FORTNITE Etc
dud,your pc is so clean ,its not like 2nd hand pc or used pc.,tips?
Save old machines like this always deserve respect.
I'll hopefully make a similar build as well, based on the optiplex 7010 mt
Use zotac 1070 mini no need to cut the rear. Just pnp. Also i have 20gb RAM. Playing arma 3 warlords n annex the RAM eats up to 15-16gb. Ultra detail . Processor i7-3770. Around 18-60 FPS. ARMA 3 cpu dependant game. Also Nvidia has downclock my 1070 as to reduce temperature. Last time the core clock near 2000mhz now just 1888mhz. Well Temperature up to 68dgc compare to last time 83 dgc. Few FPS was lost.
Optiplex?! more like Opti-FLEX now! 🤘😎🤘 nice sleeper PC build .. mahusay ! 👏👏👏 keep it up ...
asus k45vm !the same laptop here I used to watch your video....your laptop still in very good condition..but from me... power jack destroyed twice then I got so much angry I soldered 2 wire directly into the motherboard to fix that problem xddd keep going
Everyone thinks cryptomining is going to be the kiss of death for a graphics card. As long as the fans work and it never overheated, should be fine. If I remember correctly, a lot of cryptominers also undervolt their cards to produce less heat and consume less power.
🙂 rite
exact same pc as me!
How did you get sata connection to mobo and wifi?
Nothing to sniff at really. Mines got an i7 3770 which is 8 thread. 32gb of ram and a rx580 8gb. Pcie gen 3. And it's filled with SSD.
How did you get it to show a picture on your TV?
good video
Oh YA !!
Did the same recently. Grabbed a lightly used Optiplex 990 SFF for $70.
Tossed in a $50 GT 1030 and another 8GB to give it 16GB of RAM (Mobo maxes at 16GB) for $15.
I'd like to get an SSD next but I'm happy with it as someone that is waayyyyy behind the curve on PC tech.
$135 total for an:
i7 2600
16GB RAM
GT 1030
500GB HDD
Considering my last PC was a 2012 budget laptop from Walmart (no joke), it's a beast lol
Get an SSD sooner than later. A 240GB is less than $30 and will make your system super snappy.
I have a i5 7010 sff and a 9020 i5 Vpro sff that I'll upgrade in the future.
What video edition do you use?
That Gpu doesn't have to much longer to live
hmmmm do u think a gt 1030 would fit in a sff optiplex 3020
Bro.. Will it run if I put rx580 8gb in that thing
Cool video, I've done the same thing, I've brought and upgraded a Dell Optiplex 7010 MT, I primarily use it as a hackintosh under macOS 10.15 Catalina (which by the way works fantastically, even iMessage works) and some times I use it to play games under Windows (which I really only use for that), here's the specs of mine:
Intel Core i7 2600K
16GB DDR3 1600MHz (4x4GB), but it's running a 1333MHz because of the 2600K
MSI Radeon RX570 8GB Armor (yeah, I managed to fit the Armor model inside, and still have the USB 3.0 header plugged in lol)
LiteOn 128GB SSD (for macOS 10.15)
Seagate Barracuda Compute 3TB (for macOS files)
Seagate Barracuda 1TB (for Windows and games)
I added a front intake fan too, because that 570 is really running hot inside that little case
My 2600k has been running at 1600MHz 4x4GB kit for 6 years.
man u inspired me to get into computers and stuff. hats off to u, u make it look so exciting and extremely doable at the same time. i hope i inspire more people esp. here in ph.
The right ongel sata works good??
Anyone know if you can drop In a 4790k in an 9020 optiplex?
upgraded to an optiplex 7040 (i7 6700)
i bought an rx 560 and its pretty decent for the price
Yes, I have the same situation with my old laptop, but It is a Toshiba Satellite p875-s7200 which is very very upgradeble. I was able to change the CPU from an I5 3210m to an I7 3920XM it is socketed and not soldered, I put in 16 Gs of ddr3 ram and a fast SSD, and this old ass laptop is much faster than some new ones.
The Intel 4th Gen and higher optiplex systems all went proprietary with the power supplies. Then in the 6th Gen, even if you went to bus powered video card, only certain ones work. I bought a pallet of used Optiplex with the i5 6400. I could not get any AMD card to work, only the R7 250 would post but the system locked up once drivers loaded. The same systems worked fine with Nvidia 750ti and the 1050.
🙂 yes its because RX dont come with Legacy Support, the older radeon models shud work tho
@@MrSamadolfo 6th Gen is not legacy it's UEFi, they worked with the older systems fine. After the forth gen there is a white list of compatible cards and power restraints on the PCIx16 slot.
@@JordosTechShack 🙂 oh i see, thats shady then, conspiring with invidia? 😱👻
Maybe a righted angeled sata connector would have helped
I know this pc like the back of my hand
I use this exact same pc for gaming
With a rx570 and 500 watt psu and it will stream on twitch while playing r6 and in a discord call
Can you please make a video of doing a hackintosh with this pc?
Why partition the SSD?
My Dell Optiplex 7010 MT is highly customized haha. Check the specs:
Intel Xeon E3-1270 v2 (yes, Xeon e3 1200 v2 series works)
4x4gb Patriot ddr3 1600mhz
Corsair CX550 PSU
Sapphire Pulse RX 580 8gb
Samsung 860 Evo 250gb
WD Red NAS 2Tb HDD
Thermaltake 120mm intake fan w/ custom hole and mount thanks to my Dremel
Removed the HDD cage
Modded USB 3.0 cable and Sata cables to fit under my GPU
Removed optical drive and installed blank cover plate
Love seeing vids like this, keep it up!! These are great budget systems with plenty of room to customize.
How much did you pay for the Xeon E3-1270 v2?
@@ej_tech I wouldn't go for a xeon in my opinion, considering that for 10£ less at 40£ you can get an i5 3570k or non K which performs about the same in gaming, but does fall a bit back on workstation tasks. Also surprisngly there isn't a huge differnce between the xeon and an i7 3770. It's a tad confusing in my opinion
@@ej_tech In UK they are solf for around 60£ and that would be around 78 USD, you may be able to find it cheaper though in the US
EJ Tech I got it off eBay for 70 USD. Honestly my curiousity in seeing if it would work outweighed the price. Really no different than the commonly suggested i7 3770. It runs great. Also, I don't know why people suggest getting an unlocked processor for these computers as they are total wastes of money in a system where you can't overclock.
Update: DO NOT trim down the USB 3 cable for the front IO to fit in your gpu. I started getting random jitters from my mouse after trimming this plug down. I thought everything was fine originally but then started getting issues later on using the front USB 3.0 ports. You're better off just relying on your back ports and not destroying the connector for the front ports.
I got an optiplex 7010 with 8 gigs of ram and an i5 3570 all I did was put in a 600w psu I had laying around in it and an r9 380 from xfx took off the fan shroud and fans then ziptied a noctua 3000 rpm fan to it and I can still play most games at 30 fps low or 60 fps high/ ultra settings. Gpu never goes above 78c
3:53 that's a Geiger counter and your hard drive is radioactive!
It's only 3.6 roentgen.
you think that your sata connectors in in the way my mother board (1300 euro pc) the sata connectors are still int the way atleast 2 sata connectors arent in the way
I am in the same boat, 6 year old laptop I had to pull the ramm out of because I dropped it, also the screen is fukt and needs setting adjustment everytime I turn it on. I am trying to find an optiplex but they are in hot demand and can easily go for 3x their worth. I found you can merely buy the motherboard, 3.4ghz cpu, ramm, and 500watt power supply for less than the cost of $100. I'm going to use a plastic tote for a case and just melt holes in it with a sodder iron
I’ll take that molex connector ...... lol...
Does it have a hdmi port
Anyone know what laptop he has?
Dude why don’t add the links to updates you bought off amazon and eBay
I did a 9020, loaded it with 32 ram and an i7, 1060ti video card, and away we go!
The Reverend 1060ti doesn’t exist
@@gamersspace9556 Maybe it does, or maybe I'm so used to typing TI after nvidia part numbers.. either or, it works well.
You can get them with 16gb ram and i7 new
Hopefully you will upgrade the processor to e3 1230 v2 (4c 8t) since your work will run much better with extra 4 threads compare to i5 3470 with only 4 cores 4 threads. Nice video nonetheless.
😒 agreed 👍🐢
I want to build one for my son for gaming, know nothing about it.
The more videos I watch the deeper the hole goes.
@@VCanisMajorisY to be honest, buying a used computer is very difficult for a beginner since if you haven't do any research beforehand, you will most like getting buyer remorse. For example can you upgrade the power supply, what is the max level of cpu can you install on it, what RAM does it used, and how many GB can you put it. The list goes on and on. Not to mention if your system is having a problem, what should you do about it. If you're buying dell optiplex, try to get optiplex 7010/7020 or 9010/9020. Any optiplex generation lower than those are not worth the hassle. Be prepared to spend extra money to buy a new power supply, SSD or ram which contradicting the idea of saving money. It all depends on the budget but always, always do some research.
the fact that you've been able to edit at all on a laptop to create these videos is awesome but, nothing quite matches the processing power of a desktop period, there is just no comparison between the mobile counterparts and a real fully fledged quad core or dual core processor to handle those heavy tasks.
What about a 6, 8, or 12 core CPU?
@@greenjames all computer configurations depends on the user, their budget and their needs, that's why you can't just suggest that everybody buy one type of configuration, that would be terrible!!, and that's it in a nutshell. believe it or not i have a g4560 with 8gb of ram and a gigabyte micro atx board, this is all i could get for now alright, but it runs great, i don't really have any issues i wished i could of gotten an ssd in the beginning but other than that i really don't have any major complaints except for the fact that i don't have a graphics card yet either. i was coming from a really really old computer that i had for almost 9 years.
@@zulu6756 I am not suggesting that people have the same configurations, I was merely pointing out core counts that you didn't mention. Also, more cores is not necessarily that expensive these days. A Ryzen 3 2200G has twice as many cores for the same price as a G4560. Intel just horribly inflates their prices.
I do not care what your budget is, but dual core CPUs are on their way out, and you can get a quad core CPU for quite cheap nowadays. 6 cores and 8 cores are also getting considerably cheaper, however are still for higher budgets.
Do I recommend a person who is just going playing games or browsing the web to get an 8 core CPU? No, that is ridiculous. Same with RAM. Do not waste money on power that you are never going to use. If you can get something better for the same price, that's great! However I am not recommending you to go buy 32 GB of RAM and an 8 core CPU, you obviously don't need it.
@@greenjames oh yea also i don't think the ryzen 3 2200g would of been an option for me i don't live in the states or cananda also the i5 7400 on the kabylake platform would of cost 360 in my currency
@@greenjames yea i know you're right on pretty much everything you said, but i never even had the chance to play anything past 2011 that was considered "modern" at decent settings, so i have no idea what it will be like until i get that graphics card that i want, not yet anyway. they were so many titles i already missed, re6 and 7 GTA V so many others as well.
optiplex are pretty good!
actually this is going to sound dumb but in my dell OptiPlex i took the hard drive bay out and put an rtx 2080 ti founder edition card

@@synthh3850 lol want pictures
What about the cpu did you updrage that too if so then what as I want to upgrade cpu
@@marmite2956 I did not its running the stock i5 with 16gbs of ram
I did the same thing for my kids PC so that I could install an ASUS RX 570 ROG Strix. It's just 10 rivots that you drill out. Then you use the two top bays for SSD / HDD. I kept the bays though so that I can pop rivot them back in later if needed. A 2080 ti is overkill by far for a Sandybridge or Ivybridge chip though.
That's my graphics card (RX 580 8GB.... i have 2 of them). I use Fedora and this card does REALLY well with the one game i play.

what can i do to make my dell 790 run smooth and good
If you don't have one, change to SSD. Biggest upgrade to any PC by a country mile.
I’ve same 7010 machine as this. Upgraded gpu, psu needed psu connector. Mac WiFi and Bluetooth card. Installed macOS. Running Catalina on it now. Only thing I hate is it’s only two ram slots. So I’ll need to buy two 8gb. Saaad
Actually I think mine is 3010. Some weird 4Xxx series chip. 4570 maybe?
Got 1tb ssd for 40 bucks too. My hdd was also brutal
Mac OS? How do i make a USB from Windows?

It objectively doesn't. But the value is infinitely better, so if you're happy with it you have a killer deal on your desk!
isnt that a core 2 duo optiplex?
