A Surprisingly RARE Dell Optiplex 

Hahahaha

True

i 2x it

It is a crime on its own accord

The dust made me sneeze, though

Yeah, some of the easiest machines anyone can need to do any work on. Parts received same day, within a couple of hours at times, from Dell and nothing ever took more than an hour to change out. Even on laptops.

All's good until you get a power button failure or some kind of front usb port fails. Never seen these fail on any other computer out there. Can't swap fans out with different models either even if the connectors are the same. Dells are a pleasure to work with as long as they only need an upgrade

agreed@@laur6405

Intel monopoly is still too strong

Intel probably sent them a little note about continuing to do that,

Intel paid them to stop doing business with amd and the fact people are so familiar with intel they dont trust amd

@@knerduno5942 As somebody at Intel would say: "Dell is the best friend money can buy"

@@JoseLgamer05 I am sure Microsoft said the same thing once they stopped selling those Linux based Machines many years ago.

Feel that, my 2920x has the same issue in TrueNAS core. Disabling all c states helped me there

I had that problem with my Ryzen 7 1800X and while running Kubuntu 18.04. There is the C6 state that needs to be disabled. I used someone’s script to do that. If I didn’t and I left my PC on all night, by morning, the OS might be frozen. It seem to lockup in 3 to 6 h. I know since the PC shows the time. If you reboot, you have to run the script again. Another solution would be to recompile the kernel with some changes. I have a Ryzen 5 3600 now and this problem is not present.

I don't think it was done for upsell reasons. I find that most SFF systems aren't good candidates for running better-performing graphics cards. The PSUs for these computers are only rated at 240W. A real gaming graphics card draws more than that, assuming you can even find one that fits in the case, and there's no upgrade for the PSU unless you're keen to design it yourself. The graphics card in the OptiPlex 5055 is really nothing more than a substitute for integrated graphics, since that Ryzen CPU doesn't support integrated graphics. About 10 years ago, I worked part-time for a school with a computer lab that was outfitted with Lenovo ThinkCentre M71 series slim towers. The students were more than a bit rough on them, and I had to keep the lab running on a budget, so when I encountered a system unit with its VGA port partially torn out, I needed to shop for a compatible graphics card to try to bypass it. Looking back on that plan with what I know now, I'm not sure this would have worked in the first place, because I've encountered a lot of motherboards won't POST if there's anything wrong with the integrated GPU, even if a graphics card is present. But it didn't matter, because at that time, I couldn't find any graphics cards with specs that called for a PSU smaller than 300W, and these ThinkCentre M71s had 280W PSUs. Officially, there was a 320W PSU available for those slim towers, but I couldn't get one for some reason. I ended up retiring that computer. I know that graphics cards aren't power-hungry all the time, but I've also learned, the hard way, that short-changing them is a bad idea. In 2017, I bought a couple of Dell XPS 8920 towers, which came from Dell with NVidia GTX 1080 graphics cards installed, for an architect. But I found out after the fact that Dell shipped those towers with the exact same 460W PSU that they used in the XPS 8920 with only integrated graphics. They weren't enough, and whenever the architect's CAD software started using those graphics cards, the computer would freeze, blue-screen or just shut off. I contacted Dell support, but their position was that as long as the computer booted and ran without an error, there was nothing wrong with it; they had never made a claim that it was suitable to any particular task. I ended up replacing the stock power supplies with 850W ones. (850W was probably overkill, but they were only a few dollars more than 750W ones at the time, I figured better safe than sorry.) Problem solved.

​@mar4kl my optiplex 790 has a GTX 1650

Another youtuber did tests with the 3020 and found it to be about a 10% decrease in performance, but I might if you can fit a card that's twice as good as say the GT1030 which is otherwise what you're limited to, then it's still worth it.

@@loganparker4184Are you sure it was the 3020? I should have noted that the 3020 does not have the x4 slot, just an x1 slot that you can't install and x16 card in. Anyhow, that sounds about right, and going with the new 3060 6GB or an A2000 over something like the RX 6400 is well worth it, as it will perform better. If you get an XE3, you can even run a 4060. No reason to be running a single slot card in these systems. There's really nothing all that good with a Gen3 slot. Best I could suggest is the WX 4100 or a single slot 3050 or A2000 off the grey market.

Pretty sure they did it as a way to push customers towards the precision SFF for anything involving GPU horsepower. Dual slot cards fit fine in those.

@@evanh123Perhaps, but they only recently just started doing that. For a while now, the Precision system had the same configuration since the days of the T1700 SFF. It'll be nice for people when those are being dumped on the second hand market by business for sure.

NICE. Hope you're doing well man!

True! Good point

I've used GTX 1650s with no plugins for pcie power just fine in similar systems, I think it supports it.

I just might... I had no idea there were single slot rx6400s. I think not having PCIe gen 4 would hurth though...

@@HardwareHavenmay not be as powerful but it would still be decently powerful either way

Just realized I am on the wrong account, still JustinSUF here but a different account lmaoo

@@HardwareHaven You could theoretically get a PCIe 3.0 riser cable and install (aka throw it in the case) another GPU but both internal space/mounting and power draw can get in the way

It looks like a 2-slot LP card could fit if you only need those first 4 (8?) lanes. IIRC there are some 6500XTs in that form factor, but also a 4060 that may be too long.

Exactamente así fue. That's exactly how it was.

I noticed how on steam, people were buying Intel CPUs more and AMD was going down and then the Ryzen came out, some started to switch to AMD again. If you wanted more cores, the clear choice was Ryzen.

I had that problem with my Ryzen 7 1800X and while running Kubuntu 18.04. There is the C6 state that needs to be disabled. I used someone’s script to do that.

Special move, upu cutter

Thanks! I should do that! Also, next time instead of a super chat, get yourself a few months of RAID membership, that way you get some perks! I'm very appreciative regardless!

Still happens to me on my 3700X and on the latest arch kernels. Could be a different CPU fault or a motherboard problem since it didn't happen on my 3600

I guess it is because of state C6. I used someone's script to turn it off. I had a Ryzen 7 1800X a while ago. The problem is not present with the 3600, which is what I have now (same motherboard).

Yeah...I always find the latest revision of the BIOS on any of these older machines...usually if they have quite a few nice tweaks

Lol, I'm glad

Yeah, I can't believe I never realized that until people commented it.

También Ryzen 3 2200G, 3200G y 4300G; y 5 2400G, 3400G y 4600G.
