THe Optiplex is SFF. Does anyone know a website with this information.

Im Looking for an upgrade to the current PSU. THe current is already at 240W.

That link is to the stock PSU, isn't it?

To be honest, I'm not sure if there is an available upgrade.

Well that sucks. Thanks for your Help.

Isn't it just TFX?

The highest I see easily is 300W in that same size.

There are kits you can use to hook an external power supply to something like this. I would ask, mostly why you need more power? This form isn't going to support a GPU of strength to matter (if at all).

Well the recommended wattage is 300W Ive seen People hoook this up. I just want to play it safe.https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeF...ter-Graphics/dp/B071DY2VJR?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_3

I can't remember if it's the Dell SFF machines, or HP Slimlines . . or maybe both . . that have their own compact size that is different from TFX.

I would suggest taking careful measurements of the PSU. If it's TFX size, and it has the same type of MB connector, then you can get a TFX power supply.

If it's the same size, but the Dell uses the 8-pin MB connector instead of 24-pin, then I think there's an adapter available for that.

NOTE: please pay attention to the new PSU's number of amps on the 12V rail. 12 x the number of Amps on the 12V rail gives you a true indication of how many watts the new PSU is, rather than just the total wattage rating.


For example, the original PSU shows:
+12V --- / 17A

12V x 17A = 204W. So realistically, the Dell 240W PSU is a 204W PSU for all intents and purposes.

I don't currently have one of these "in hand" but if memory serves the PCI-e slot is at the bottom and only had room for one (true) slot position. If that fits at all, your fan will likely be sitting nearly flush on top of the power supply housing.
This machine was never designed or thought of as a gaming PC.

In that case, IS there any games that i could run at 60fps?
