My sister is doing a build with this computer and you have saved her life in looking for parts, Congrats on helping and I hope you prosper in the land of youtube!

I have a 7040 and really am surprised that 3 generations later Dell still has the PCIe slots the wrong way round 😄

Great vid and description. Thanks for sharing. Hadn't even heard of the 7070 before. Just dropped a T600 in my 7060 and it's a beast for the cost.

Just bought system w/o RAM or SSD so this video was perfect. Excellent list of resources also. A keeper.

Nice upgrade there! I might think about upgrading a dell optiplex 790 MT!

Hi! Thanks for the detailed video. Please, can you help us providing the specifications of the SSD M.2 mount screw? I'm not really sure wich one do I have to buy, so I can install the Samsung 970 EVO Plus.

Welcome back, the king of OEM Upgrades

Wow now that's a gaming pc there that's awesome. 👍👍

When i stalling memory, do you install in order? So for example A1 then A2 (white tabs), and B1 then B2 (black tabs)? I've a 3rd stick so I assume I just install that in B1?

Just curious to know, any better graphic cards present on the market that is better than the previous choices given?

I have the same setup,and it's a little bit overheating...but if you put a 80mm fan at front,the video card takes cold air from outside,not heat from power supply..

Awesome work! I upgraded to the same ram but with an rx6400. Have you ever upgraded the stock cpu cooler on the 7070sff?

Have you installed an fan in the front? And what's the Max power supply wattage you can install and what's the Max GPU you can install?

Awesome, thanks! Is there any performance or compatibility problems using pcie x16 pin video card in a pcie x 4 slot? Cheers

That plastic caddy which 2.5" HDD was installed to... Can someone please give me the part number for it?

I was able to cram a Gigabyte 1050ti mini (not low profile) in a 7070 SFF by removing the optical drive, modifying it's mounting plate and connecting the new card with a PCIe extension cable. Works well!

How many watts does that power source have? I have 240W until which video card can it support?

I've posted on other videos regarding the PSU..and the low clearance of the pcie x16 slot..has anyone tried or thought of using a 300w pico psu? It would free up so much room for better airflow along with better GPU clearance

Since this thing has an i7, would it be able to support at least a gtx 1660? I'm assuming you went with a 1650 because of the form factor.

Hi, congratulations for the video. I would like to mount an SSS on my dell optiplex xe3 sff i5-8500, I have the Sata cable already connected to the motherboard, while the power cable is missing. Currently there is connected DVD and NVME drive. Can you tell me how I can do it? Thank you

Exist any problem if put the GPU in PCIExpress x8? The GPU is x16

Dear Mxkdi... thanks for your video...can you please reply whether dell optiplex 7070 small form factor supports wifi out of the box...I am planning to use it with Linux and hence wanted to check

great vid..ive had that same stanley mini screw driver set for 30yrs lol

Can you make a video on how to add a system fan on the optiplex 7070 that doesn’t have a slot please?

I find that the processor's fan vents blocks the room for these ginormous video cards.

would appreciate a benchmark test, with games

PSU 240W can withstand overloads?

the legend is back

Will that even work since is on the black slots

kinda sad the PCIe x16 is not at the top, instead there's a x4 l a m e motherboard :(

Thats just like dell to put the 8x slot on the left so that you cannot install a dual slot in the 16x slot.

Wish you would have done benchmarks.

That computer is a year old now but it is still very new. I bet that it costs a lot. Where did you buy it? Most of the RU-vid reviewers usually go with most the 790 and the 3010 and some more of the older systems.

can you test out the machines please

how is the performance hit and power installing the card in x4 slot? Would going with a smaller 1U card like the 1030 be a better choice?

Hi Mxkdi - thanks for all the vids!! Question (really stuck here) - I have a Precision 3431 SFF w/ I9, 32gb of ram, 500gb sad the little one, and I put in a AMD Radeon Pro WX 3200 graphics card. The main use of the computer is for stock trading (so 4 monitors) then I want to be able to use it for some gaming (call of duty and fortnight). I don't think I choose the right upgrade GPU for my needs. Any suggestions on how to upgrade this SFF that has a new I9? Thank you!

If you are opting for the 1650 get the gddr6 version. It's around the same price and performs a little better

I’m entirely new to computers so with this bill can I just plug in the graphics card and play? There’s no other RU-vid video explaining on how to get it to work

Your HP Compaq series was the best, are you still making videos for the HP Compaq?

I was planning to buy the 7050 SFF with i7-6700 cpu and 16 GBs of RAM. But I want to upgrade the video card to the GTX1050ti OC (low profile). Plugging it to the PCI Express x4 slot instead of x16 does it means that the full capabilities of this graphics card will not be achieved?

Sir can you give me advice what is best graphics card upgrade for my Dell Inspiron 3668 i3-7100 8gb ram

there is physical space for an rtx 3060ti mini?

Can rx550 fit the sff 7070 ?

Yeeeaaah, Back top the Roots, thanks

Hi, will the 200 W power supply be enough if I use 1050 ti. The cpu is i7-9700.

Does it actually work with the GTX 1650 in the PCIE x4? Other than that, thanks for the videos, theyre all very good, keep up the good work.

Can the gtx 1650 be added to an optiplex 5050?

Hey, am I able to do the same thing on a 7050 Small Form Factor?

For the love of god turn on autofocus!

What type of power supply wattage do I need to run a GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3050 OC Low Profile 6G Graphics Card?

I can’t get my case closed properly. I’ve checked for any obstructions and I have no idea why it won’t close right. You made it look effortless. Any tips?

Im new to the pc world and wow wish i seen this video on the 5th. i have the dell optiplex 3020 and i was look for a card that was good for gaming for this build. i bought the gt 1030 because i wasn't sure if anything else could fit. i literally got it today its good but i rather would like to get this one. great video.

A RX 560 or 580 would fit?

Alquien me puede explicar... Como hizo para colocar la tarjeta gráfica GTX 1650 ahí? Debería ir en la azul, pero no se puede por el espacio. Forzó la PCI-E negra (la rompió para encajar ahí?

Does sticking a 1650 in the x4 slot loose performance and power?

I have a tower version with 260w psu and 85%. Gtx 1650 s consumes 100w and the CPU 65w. Can this graphics card works correctly ? 16g of ddr4 and 500gb of hdd storage.

is the space between the gpu fan and the power supply a problem? 9:57

hi! May I ask if i7-8700k (or i9-9900K) and Quadro P1000 are compatible to Optiplex 5060 & 7070 SFF please. Is upgrade the power supply needed?

The only thing you forgot was to include the part number to get the screw for the SSD LOL... thanks for great videos.

hi friend, is it possible to add a second SSD drive for this model? thanks

can u upgrade to 500watt psu upgrade?

Would the video cards recommended for this optiplex 7070 fit on a optiplex 3070 min from the video the size is the same

Bro i have a hp elite desk 800 g1 sff, processor is i5 4590 with 8 gb ram, 500gb hdd and stock 240 watts psu. I wanted to add a gpu to upgrade it into gaming pc same as to your vid. Any suggestion for the best low profile gpu and do i have to upgrade its power supply whenever i add gpu on it?

Thanks Pro.! I am Việt Nam.

I'd be tempted to drill some holes in the PSU case to get some airflow out of that GPU. It's a shame Dell didn't put the x16 slot on the upper side.

please help me sir how to unlock bios. i having trouble with the bios.

la fuente de cuanto es??

Good Video!

@Mxkdi Question: I have a Intel i7 4790 CPU on a Dell Optiplex 9020 Motherboard. I want to use the same CPU for a new build. Could you (or anyone else) recommend a motherboard compatible with the 4790?

How many Watts does Your source have?

Is gtx 1650 super fit

full bracket goes brrrrrrrr

hello great videos, i have a 7050 SFF as well and id like to boost my graphics card, what do you recommend for that to keep up with current PC games that my 12 year old likes to play, like Fortnite, and other popular games. Mine has the I7 7700 processor. i would like to use my original power supply as well, thanks

Hey is it possible to add 16gb ram to a dell optiplex 790 MT? Also what is the most powerful cpu and gpu that's compatible with that system? Thanks in advance!

We have the 7070 intel i7 9 series tower. We don't know what to get.

Are all optiplex machines able to be upgraded from ddr3 to ddr4 memory?

When you've done an upgrade do you have to fo anything to do with software?

I love this videos! z

Welcome back 😄

Hi. Can an Optiplex 3070 MT handle a GTX 1050ti? Thank you.

I have a Lenovo Thinkcentre M58p tower that has a Core2Duo E8400, can you recommend me an upgrade for the cpu and a gpu?

Can you make one on the optiplex 7010 slim

does the gt 1660 work well? i didn't think there would be enough spare power from the psu to have that as an extra.

Would a GTX 750ti go?

Also make benchmark video

I would love to see what you could build for me for $2000 I am sure it would be awesome

Hello, can I install a wifi adaptor WiFi 6 M.2 AX 3000Mbps with Bluetooth 5.1 ?

How u can plug gpu (pci x16) into a slot pci x8 (?) I don't get it

Hey man, even I'm thinking of upgrading my office PC so i really need your help. So i have OPTIPLEX 3070 MT so im planning to get GTX 1650 OC. Do you think it will work fine with it? I have i7 9th gen processor

I would love to know the total cost to purchase the pc and with the upgrades you put with the best graphics poss I am in the market for this

you cant put that gtx 1650 with that optiplex 7070 on the specs of that computer is not listed did you change the motherboard???be honest only these are compatible Dual AMD Radeon R5 430 AMD Radeon RX 550 NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 AMD Radeon R5 430 so how did you add a gtx 1650???

Didn’t even know these had m.2

How many computers do you have

I need your help, i put in the a new 1tb ssd in the 7040SFF but it’s saying no bootable device found. What do I do

Hi, i have an HP pro 3500 microtower with i5 3470 and 300w psu, can i use gtx 1650 with this psu?

Can i use the same gtx 1650 low profile in dell Inspiron 660s???

will this work for the 7010 also?

why not use 1650 gddr6 version? price is literally almost the same..

I think u went overboard with the gpu
