Dell Optiplex

Hello, I've recently been having some problems with my i7-4790 Dell OptiPlex 9020. Last night, I was gaming and suddenly my PC froze and didn't respond at all, I couldn't even Ctrl + Alt + Del. I did a hard shutdown by holding the power button. Since then, on every boot, I keep getting BSODs...

Theoretically since the 3040 supports the i7 6700 then it should be able to support the K version of the same processor, the pc also has a 500w psu so power shouldn't be an issue.

Hello, I am looking to put together a cheap gaming rig - and it seems getting a used workstation and upgrading it is the cheapest way to do so. I already own a GTX 1660 Super so the PC would have to be able to handle that. I've previously owned a T3500, which was good for a few years, but...

I'm trying to connect the VGA port on my Dell Optiplex 9020 desktop computer to a 1080p HDMI monitor using a VGA to HDMI adapter. I am getting no signal. The VGA port works with a regular VGA monitor. Any suggestions?

I have a Dell 9010 sff. I ran AIDA64 and noticed that the 3rd gen i5 never drew more than 30-35 watts. Is this normal for SFF Optiplexes? Does Dell throttle the CPU like that? (for my purposes, it's a retro gaming rig, so that's perfectly fine). Main reason I'm asking is because I found a...

Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my CPU from: i3-4160 to an i5 or i7, but I cannot find the page on the DELL website advising me which CPUs will work. Some models have a handy list of the exact CPUs that are supported, but for this model it just generically says: i3/i5/i7. Can anyone point me to a...

I just bought an intel pro 1000 nic to turn my optiplex 780 into a pfsense server, but whenever I plug the card into the pcie 16x slot, it thinks that it disables the onboard graphics. I have searched online, and I have learned that it automatically disables the onboard graphics when it detects...

I am buying a refurbished Dell optiplex to upgrade the powersupply and gpu. It has 1 x 4gb and 2 x 2 gb all at 1600mhz. I am worried dual channel will not work on the 3 sticks. (Or am I wrong?) In my current pc I have 2x4gb sticks at 533mhz, is it worth switching my old RAM into the optiplex...

Hey everyone, I recently bought this card for Dell Optiplex 3020 SFF to support a little gaming, and I don’t know if I’m being a complete idiot but it looks like the PCIE slot isn’t in the right place to put the card in? I did my research and the card is compatible in a lot of Dell Optiplex...

Is it possible to put a 7th gen cpu in a dell optiplex 990 DT because i was reading system requirements on the ue4 (unreal engine 4) (game engine) forum and it looks like I would be better off with a 7th gen rather than 2 gen i7 if not then I will just stick with cryengine.

Hi everyone, I recently bought a dell Optiplex 990 DT and decided to install my GTX 750 2 GB GDDR5 GPU and WD 2TB RED HDD from my old pc. The HDD worked perfectly but the GPU was acting very weird, when I'm not doing GPU intensive tasks like game dev or gaming the GPU is at 1-10% like it should...

Hello; I recently posted a thread on the forum asking if my laptop's CPU temps are normal while gaming as they were reaching very high temps, sometimes 99°C. And because of my concern about my CPU's health, especially considering the country is having a heatwave now, I stopped gaming and...

Hey, After 2 years I finally noticed that my ram was only running at 1333mhz, moreover that it was only running on a single channel (Don't ask me how I haven't seen this, I really don't know). I moved the ram over a slot and have it running at dual channel now. The clock speed is still...
