RTX 4060 Ti in a Optiplex...Great Idea? 

40-series in an Optiplex... I dub this build the "Chaos Potato."

My only question is HOW DID THIS OPTIPLEX HANDLE THAT?! That PSU is probably really efficient along with the GPU. Need more of these RTX dell videos

watching toasty bros mess with computers scratches my itch to mess with computers when i dont have the budget for it

I did the same thing but with a rx 580 8GB. Changed the powersupply and modded the case to install a front fan. Still working to this day.

And people called me crazy for putting a Gtx 1070 in an optiplex

love the video. You do these crazy things so that viewers can see what hapens at zero risk to themselves, also good entertainment

I had a Optiplex 9020 i7 4790k 16g ram. Put in a EVGA RTX 2060 XC Ultra. Had to drill out the drive bay cage rivets to make it fit. Also had to connect a second power supply that sat on top of the case with a cheater power supply jump start PCB. Worked great till I got my current system. I called it Frankenstein.

Would setting a power limit on the GPU help? Would be interesting if GPU has a slight undervolt and a power limit of 70% in afterburner the level of efficiency that is acheivable in an optiplex and whether this would make a "budget" 4k 40fps PC!

Have you done a review on the Shiva 2? Because I'm thinking about buying it from Amazon but idk if it's worth it.

It would also work with 2x molex to an 8-pin?

Do more videos like this with high end cards in optiplexs!

I have a MSI 2060 super. Can I directly plug in the 4060ti and use the existing 1x8 pin connector currently attached to my 2060s?

Can only one SATA wire support the power draw or do you have to double up (2) satas to one 8 pin.

This card would be running on pcie 3 as well so that might help lower the power draw since it is like putting watered down gas in a race car.

I tried to make use out of a mining motherboard for gaming on the weekend. It's got an i5-6600k and a 1660 super in it but unfortunately it seems like the GPU can only run at X1 speed as it has to use a riser plugging into a gen 3 usb on the motherboard. Janky as it gets 😅

Thank you for giving me my next build

My company had so many of those that eventually made it to re-sellers. Solid little machines when we had them. You guys should try out the big brother of those. Dell Precision workstations. The 5810 / 5820's we had ran Xeon Cores and 32 GB RAM.

i have a optiplex 5050ssf and im pretty sure it can have any 6-7 gen cpu but can it use a i9 7th gen?

It's Girthytiktak!! Lmao. Love all yalls videos. Can't wait for the stream today!

Yeah, I put in a new power supply in an Optiplex for a 1050ti a few years ago. I just needed an adapter cable for the motherboard.

Can DDR4 GPU work on the DDR3 motherboard?

Been looking at upgrades for my 8930. I noticed the power started to spike when you had the point of failure, I wonder if a 6600 XT would have been a better upgrade for that PSU. Mine is 460W, something to consider when prices drop.

Where Is your store in Louisville? My in laws live there and I’m up there fairly often through the year and would love to come by.

how many Dell optiplex desktops do you have?

Great video and build! I would like to add, I'm probably gonna get some hate for this, but the best card for a 9020 with an i7 4770/4790, in my experience, has been an RX 6600. I expected an x8 gen 4 card to take a slight impact but these ones have been the most stable, including one ran without a PSU upgrade for experimental purposes only

Would RX 6600 be fine on an OEM PSU 400W (HP Z240)?

could i pair the 4060 ti with a ryzen 7 5700x 32gb ram 4 sticks of 8 gb a 500 watt power supply

Can i do this with the 790 optiplex? I really want to

ok guys serious question... i got one of these optiplex and i wanna put a 4060 LOW PROFILE (gigabyte made one) on my optiplex it has an i7 4790 so the bottleneck should br better (still bad but better) and a 290w PSW and if i have to change the power supply then so be it but fyi this low profile version only takes 115w?

Can run RTX 2060 super if i buy optitlex tower? What i need for that first before?

hello try to try the processed i5 6500 to see both is the performance, with 32GB of DDR4 RAM, and its solid disk M2

I already upgraded to a 650 watt psu in my optiplex. The biggest issue has always been fitting the card, this is neat. This is the new ultimate top line budget gpu for the optiplex! I have a gtx 1060 6g and it’s longer than the 4060.

i would like to see this test done with a dell 7040 ?

should I buy a 4060 Ti for my i5 8400 CPU?

Hey guys I want to by a Ryzen 5600g pc from your website but I saw it for 600 hundred dollars and my budget is 350 do u have any recommendations for a cheaper Solution

i like the new 12vhpwer just because i have a 4090 and it saved me having to running 4x pcie cables in my pc case which does not have alot of space behind the mb tray

According to tech powerup the maximum TDP of the 4060 Ti is only 160 W which is pretty efficient for the performance it gives. While the i5 4590 uses only 84 W. So 290 W power supply should be able to power it, but they do recommend at least 450 W for it.

been waiting for them to drop vids everyday

Toasty bros. My evening programming before I go to bed. I will be tuning from my First pc build soon. No more watching on the TV 😂

There's a OEM dell 360 watt power supply you can put in these optiplex MT cases. this will drive pretty much any graphics card with a single 6 pin on it that doesn't also pull 75 from the motherboard, and probably some that do. I'm assuming the motherboard has a single 4 pin and single six pin connector on it. Might make things work better. There are also cheap chinese universal optiplex MT power supplies that have all the connectors on them, and supposedly work in most cases. They shoudl solve the power issue if the motherboard can handle 75 from the slot.

i litteraly got that optiplex and it has 2 ram sticks and 1 doesnt work sticking with me with 4gb

Need more this type of videos

Thr 8gig vrsm ran out ans crashed its kind of annoying just how much performance drops off when u run out of vram its like no gpu at all

Would love to see this in one of the Lenovo P520s 🙏🙏🙏

Isn't sata 5v? The GPU needs 12v.

What optiplex is this?

Amazing video. ❤❤❤❤

could a rtx 4060 ti fit in a optiplex 5050 sff

You should add processor usage on riva

Where can I get that adapter?

Next video rtx 4090 + i5 2400 in dell optiplex 790, I want to see that except pc won’t boot with a stock psu so upgrade it, find a way to fit a 4090 in a optiplex 790

What type of Dell is this?

toastybros can you open up places in new jersy i have an optiplex 9020 and i have got to get an rx 6400 in it well since u giys are like soo far away can u open up a place in new jersy

Why not i7 4th?

please include fc in your test catalogue😁. pretty please🙂

so why dont you put in a better power supply and then run another benchmark? show what it can do?

THE VIDEO I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!

I actually used the TB20 promo code for a new copy of Windows 11 for my new gaming pc build a couple weeks ago. Thanks, fellas!

Most VGA pick up only 30-40W from the PCIe slot. The 75W is a theoretical max. But it is overall depens on the VGA eletronic design. It is physics aynway. Not you decide how much of power want the VGA from the slot. The engineers decide it in the factory.

What's a catch?

What Optiplex is it?!

Will it fit?... adapters on adapters for the power is just asking for a fire. Good thing you told people not to do that.

so i used to do the same, i used to pair my 3060ti with my i5 6500 dell optiplex💀 i would get 60-90fps at any graphics settings but only because my cpu would max out before hitting 120fps even on low settings so i just cranked the graphics and had the same exact fps, i also have a slower 30$ 250gb ssd so maybe thats why cuz i upgraded to the ryzen 5 5600x and get good fps and graphics but i still studder which i think is from the ssd, pro tip, spend your money on a good cpu/ssd combo because mid range gpus still get hella good fps and would feel smoother than gettung a high end card on a low end cpu if you get what im saying, i used to use a 1060 6gb and my best advice is to get a good cpu to max out your gpu first, then upgrade the graphics, because youll have alot more headroom to use discord/ other apps while gaming, that was my biggest problem, my cpu would max out and my 3060ti would be at 20-40% usage and couldint use discord cuz my cpu was maxed out, even with accelarated hardwear on

"watch out for the road" bro just destroyed the meaning of streets 💀

How does the game look so crisp, I have a 9100f and a rx 6600 and my game looks blurry and crap y’all are running on an older cpu and it looks good I don’t get pc building

Shows how robust those power supplies are. If it was an Stgabron you have ended the video with a fire extinguisher.

I also have an Optiplex (3010MT) and run it with a SeaSonic 520W PSU. They are standard connections! NO "Dell-Only"!! You can use ANY PSU!!

Sorry i enjoy ya fun with theses builds and test

Very tight for $500. Hey. At least you can fully ray trace in cyperpunk 2077. Should have tried portal rtx. That would have been another revelation.

I've never seen a GPU with dedicated power pulling 75 watts from the PCIe slot. Most pull very little and get most from the PEG connector(s). SATA can handle about 54 watts per connector, so you're overloading the SATA connectors by an unhealthy margin IF you weren't massively bottlenecked. But people really need to stop associating 80+ ratings with quality. The Optiplex systems around this time could be found with 80+ Bronze and 80+ Gold ratings, as well as no 80+ certification what so ever. It has nothing to do with quality now, just as back then when 80+ was still relatively new. If you look at the 400 watt power supply HP used in the Z220 back then, you'll find no 80+ certification, despite meeting the requirements for 80+ Platinum. It just wasn't as big of a deal back then. Now, as to your power figures... the 4060 Ti was never going to reach it's board power rating in games because you were never really hitting over half of the GPU's utilization, so it shouldn't be surprising that a heavily bottlenecked card doesn't consume a lot of power. There was never any concern because the CPU is just too slow to keep up with the 4060 Ti for power consumption to ever be an issue, unless you wanted to test in a synthetic benchmark. That being said, I've pushed these PSU's well past 300 watts from the wall in testing for hours, and they handled it. They have built in protections like OCP. System immediately shut off when I tried to use a 1080. They're actually a lot higher quality than people give them credit for.

I cannot believe this worked, that's crazy. 😭

The power draw is low because the GPU is being under utilised

So, put a 600w psu inside and try for frame rates

People always do have criticisms about everything. When you were explaining about the psu stuff. I was like yeah. Back then I was using a 1080 TI with a 550 watt gold rated psu. People always said "oh your gpu is gonna break". After 6 years I bought a 3070 and my 1080 TI is still fine I just replaced it since I wanted more FPS.

its actually slower than the 3060 ti for some reason I think its the x9 lane instead of the x16 and that they have the same number of cuda cores all though a new generation!

what is the best system you can make in a optiplex under 700 dollars

Needs any 6 core 12 thread

👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 cool stuff

I think that you can use the rtx 4060 ti on an I5 4TH GEN if you don't have the budget for the other parts like CPU, so instead buy a used dell optiplex for 70 or 80 bucks and you are good to go until you buy the missing part/s

you guys are so good at your jobs you make Linus tech tips look like review tech USA in tech review capability nothing else

try that gpu on a i7 4770 optiplex

Man I've been asking for RX7600 gpu

you legit built my pc besides the psu and gpu i have a 600w smart psu and a gtx 1060 6gb in it

I put a 1080 into my office with that exact amount of clearance space left. The 1080 died within 12 hrs of use 😅

Xeons from that generation should handle that card easy any 8core+ chips to be precise,4cores 4threads is just supper limiting

Please have more than one Fire extinguisher on hand. You guys need more than one!

oh boy, this is going to be a fun video isn't it?

Modern power supplies are alot better than decades ago. I run a sleeper rig with an old Antec case. The biggest issue you are going to face is heat However, some smart use of custom power curves for your video card can shave off alot of heat out of the system. I actually think a 4090 is the wrong card for this kind of setup, something like a 3050 or 4060 would pair alot better.

The i3 13100f is 65$, it's a banger deal it would be a nice video idea

Change out that CPU for Xeon E3-1271v3 for like $30 on E-bay

Really shows you 4th gen can still get up and go Pair this puppy with a GTX 1060 6GB or one of those cheap RX 580s and you got a decent gaming PC that will run damn near anything Granted, Pairing one with a 4060 makes zero sense, but if you've got $200 in your pocket a i7 4790 and RX 580 wouldn't be a bad idea Build sheet: Dell optiplex (i7 4790, ram and HDD doesn't really matter) $80 2x8GB ddr3 off amazon $16 Cheap RX 580 8GB $60 480GB SSD $22 Apevia 600w power supply $27 Total Cost: $205

Try it in a T3620 just send it i7700 I'm running a 3060ti with a 600w ps I'm certain that the 4060ti will do some work

I'm about to purchase a RTX 4060 to and put in my my Optiplex 790 with i7-2600 with 16 GB of RAM.

This is awesome lol!

Hp 8200 tower install 1060 6g and psu 320w

I like this vid tho but I personally use the i3 3.60ghz 4th gen optiplex 3020 till date and damn, I still enjoy using that potato 😂.

You should try it with an i7 in it 🤔

I’m not first, but GvG Mall is goated

I am shocked your insurance agent hasn't fired you from watching these videos LOL

It's so easy to get a Windows activation key from GVG Mall, a caveman could do it. 😂
