Hey Viewers - I wanted to get some viewer build profiles and photos to show on my next video. If you have a 9020 or have done something cool with a Dell Optiplex send me a photo or two and summary be you’ll get in my next appropriate video!

You're a lifesaver. That 24 to 8 pin thing drove me crazy for an hour until I found your video. Thanks!

You are a very underrated youtuber and it’s annoying because you’re so talented in a way that I don’t think you realise I was so worried about building a pc and you showing me what to do in every step so calm with the presentation made my worries go away

saw a ton of videos about the 8 pin adaptor, but I didn't know what the other psu cables did. you're the first one to actually explain it for me. Thank you!

"First you will have to find a graphics card" May 2021: Not today!

Oh my god, this is the "Joy of Painting" of tech!

I just found this channel, but it's funny because I turned mine into a budget machine as well. For around $245, I was able to get a Dell Optiplex 7010 i7 3770, 450w PSU, Nvidia GTX 1660 super, 1 Tb HHD mass storage with 120 SSD boot and primary drive, 16gb DDR 3 ram, and a Bk008 pure rock slim CPU cooler, runs most modern games at 160-220 FPS all day long at 3.5 Ghz.

I know this video is old but I've been trying to figure out how to put another Dell 9020 - $100 Gaming Upgrade PSU into it besides a dell one and you've answered it....after 10+ videos this video is the first one that talked about that adapter...thank you now I can turn my sons pc into a better one at his mothers house without changing the case motherboard or anything. Now i can put an rx570 or 580 in it now for him

This is the kind of video's that I enjoy watching, nice and simple explanation keep going at it!!!

I really appreciate you for sharing this video and especially this particular Dell. The 9020 is my home pc and I do a little gaming on it. Nothing serious but now I know how I can upgrade it and get a little more enjoyment out of it.

This video is great. I really enjoyed the quality and the nice background music (is this a minecraft sound). Sorry for the bad english I'm from Germany.

wow your production quality is very good for only 500 subs im impressed

"This power supply is from a company called E,V,G,A" Lol. I don't know why i found that so Hilarious

Hi, thanks a lot for this video. I just installed my power supply now while watching your vid at the same time and everything works fine! I subbed and liked :)

I've been searching around for weeks around for a similar upgrade that ill do to my dell 9020 i5 4690s, and I finally found the appropriate video, a step by step video on everytjing i might and will need. Thanks

This was by far the best video I watched today. Clear to the point, and channeling serious Bob Ross energy.

For the dell optiplex you need a 24 pin ATX to ITX adapter cable to upgrade the power supply

You can relocate/remove the lower drive bays for a larger GPU. Don’t forget about extra cooling mainly intake. Remember that anything you build in this case will benefit from it.

I still really want to thank you. With this video I realize this operation without problems. I encourage everyone who thinks it's too complicated to follow step by step and it works!

listening to you set this pc is like listening to Bob Ross paint

Thanks for this video - it really helped me. I just ordered the same EVGA PSU and 24-8 pin adaptor so I can install an nvidia 1660ti I had (in an eGPU) into an Optimeplex 9020. Here's hoping it works....

Just did something very similar to my dell t1700 but the evga power supply I got was too long. Oh well I made it fit. Just had to adapt the case door catch assembly.

This was by far the most helpful and informative video I've seen that explains things for a new pc builder. Really appreciate it!

Great video. You explain everything calmly and clear. I am upgrading an Optiplex 7020 but despite the different model it looks just like yours. Seeing all the cables in the PSU is a little intimidating but with your video it looks like something I can do.

Under the DVD drive is a Very Nice space to put all those extra cables.. That way the cables are hidden and out of the way..

One thing I'd change here is the power supply. The W1 is - to put it bluntly - a terrible unit. Faulty protections, cheap components, and group regulation. It also exploded the HardwareBusters review of it (ironically, it died from overdraw despite advertising itself as having over current protection.) If you're going to flip, have some decency, don't give a newbie to computers who doesn't know any better a power supply which isn't even likely to make it past its three year warranty period.

THANK YOU! I'm upgrading my Optiplex 3010, and need to replace the 275W PSU with something stronger. I had NO IDEA what to replace it with. I just ordered a EVGA 650 B5 PSU, it has almost the exact same measurements as the original. And it's fully modular. Again, THANK YOU! 👍👍👍😃😃😃

Your voice is very calming. You're like the Bob Ross of home computer repair.

That's a pretty expensive Dell Optiplex 9020, just saying. Great video.

I got a quad core i5 Dell 9020 mt with 16gb of ram (minus a hard drive) at the surplus shop for $25. Then my heart sunk when I seen the proprietary PSU. I guess getting it going first with Windows by adding a cheap drive would be the first step and then upgrading the bios? before I transfer my superior items from my core 2 duo rig. And the little 24 pin to 8 pin cable is gonna work, right? Cross my fingers.

One can’t simply make a clearer and better video explaining something like this ! Thank you a lot, just acquire a dell 9020 for free from my school, this video is gonna be my reference !

Even today Nov 2023 this Dell 9020 is what im looking for 👌👍

Thanks for explanation.

hello Cratos, great video

i usually don’t comment but this video actually helped me know what stuff to get, i got a new gpu but found out i needed a pci to get it to work from the power supply, thanks for the vid

Great video presentation, very surprised you don't have 100K subs. Keep up the excellent work!

You should have more than 500 subs

Me: Lest buy a graphics card!! Yeah When this video was published all of the mining cards were cheap 2021: LETS PUSH THE PRICES OF THE GRAPHICS CARDS TO THE LIMIT

Great build! i got a 9020 SFF for my TV. It doesn't take a big GPU like the full size one, but it's plenty good for minecraft with the included single slot low profile AMD gpu.

KZfaqr here, Great job on the video, I have the same Dell optiplex 9020 mt PC and needed more info to upgrade my machine, this video was made just in time, thank you soo much, and I hope you have an awesome day

can you link the parts in the description?

Bob Ross would be proud :D

Your voice is soothing dude, subbed

thanks for the video, i've been stuck on this issue for a year but now i have hope i'll have a good pc. thanks man

I would have gotten at least an HD7000 series. Driver support for the 6000 series ended in 2014

A solid beard bro 👌

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! i have been struggling to figure out what is wrong with the new setup I'm doing for a Childs Birthday present. ordered from amazon 8-) needed the adapter from 24pin to 8pin... Brilliant...

I have a dell optiplex 980 that I got from a university. It came with windows 10 pro. The pc was $125. I have 12 GB of ram in it, I put a 600 watt EVGA power supply in it, and I also put an Nvidia gtx 1060 3gb graphics card in it.

you remind me of Toby from The Office haha

Done this shit years ago it’s best value on market get a 9010 with i7 3770 and you won’t need the 24 pin adapter also buy yourself a ssd and add it as your boot drive it’s a must in today’s world there 20$ now days And just go ahead and buy a gtx 1060 6gb single fan for $120 and get the most out of it for best bang for buck playing 1080p at 120 fps in most games with setting on high it’s able to be a serious gaming pc on the cheap The psu do like this guy anything over 450 watts that’s a name brand. Psu ... Corsair ,evga,Thermaltake...just buy best deal one that is from reputable company is mainly it shouldn’t be more than $40 Optiplex i73770 16gb ddr3 $150 eBay 1060 6gb $125 Ssd 128gb $20 Psu $40 Roughly $350 and you will have a great pc for years and play any game at high refresh rate 1080p you can game the triple a titles on 4K low setting on your big screen tv and it’ll be way better than a console as far as quality.

I definitely got a fright when I saw all the extra cables on my PSU compared to the built in Dell one 😭 this helped regardless thanks bro 🙏🙏

excellent video mate

Hey I just bought one of these and I'll probably doing similar to what you did in your video to mine! Thanks for the video it helps a lot. #givememinecraft #thenetguy

Great video with clarity on the most important points. Thank you so much.

You are the Bob Ross of tech! Nice, relaxed and step by step. I happened to be looking into this model Dell for exactly this reason, so your video popped up. I wanted to see the performance on this rig. Thanks for the video!

Bro great video i was about to pay someone to install an evga 600w psu for my dell optiplex and you showed that its actually simple af.

Just a note about why dell uses a special cable on the 9020. when they changed from the 9010, which uses standard atx, to the 9020, they moved the +5V rail to the mainboard. The Power supply only supplies +12 and -12V. changing the power supply not only will change the connector, but will move the 5v off the Mainboard back on to the Power supply. just a little factoid about why.

This video was super helpful. Thanks Net Guy. I enjoy your channel.

You could really clean that case up by tucking the unused cabling and the slack from the used cables into the empty optical drive bay.

So glad I stumbled upon this video this is exactly what I needed to know with the power supply. Thank you so much!

Got an HP EliteDesk 800 G1 Small Form Factor system off E-Bay for $99 free shipping. Came with a 4th gen Core i5, 8GB DDR3 1600 RAM, 500GB HDD, on board Intel Graphics but with USB 3.0 and SATA 3.0 as well as PCIe 3.0 bus architecture (very important for future upgrading the system.) It came with a Windows 7 COA. Now, at 18 months later, the system now has a Core i7 4790 4 core/8 thread CPU at 3.6GHz base clock speed, 24GB of DDR3 1600 RAM, 120GB SSD boot drive, 1TB HDD, Blue-Ray burner drive, a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050ti low profile w/4GB GDDR5 VRAM, a PCIe WIFI dual channel add on card running at 5G speeds and Windows 10 v1909 ALL running on the stock proprietary 300 watt power supply - and I managed to get it all together for about $350 for everything! It's quiet, stable and stupid fast! It will run GTA V at max settings with a solid 60fps at 1080p pushing a 44" 1080p smart TV through HDMI. Rise of the Tomb Raider runs at a respectable 40 to 60fps at 1080p on medium to low settings. This little guy has been my daily driver and one of the best systems I've ever had. It can shred through the entire Steam library without breaking a sweat. Pre-builts are not a bad way to go to save a lot of money to build a system but you must do some research and homework to find the best deals on upgrade components and there are some limitations such as no real CPU over-clocking as well as case constrictions and power consumption limits on stock PSUs. Another problem I've face with slightly older pre-builts is lack of BIOS and/or driver support for some newer components you might want to install so do your research before you buy that RTX 2070.

*I got a free Dell Optiplex 390 with an i3-2100, 16GBs of RAM and an AMD Radeon HD 5450. I already had a 500GB SSD for my boot drive and a 750GB HHD (7200RPM) laptop drive for storage. All I bought was a 2.5 inch to 3.5 inch HHD mounting bracket, an extra SATA cable and SATA power splitter cable and a DMS-59 to Dual VGA cable with an extra VGA cable ($30). I also already had Windows 10. It's a great KZfaq, BitTorrent and paying bills PC.*

Thanks for this video, I was planning on dropping a 1080ti in my optiplex and I wanted to figure out how to change my power supply 😅

This was a good tutorial. Thanks👍

Bummer that some Optiplexes have these proprietary ATX connectors, I just upgraded a Optiplex 7010 with a i5 3470 and was really happy that Dell was so easy to work with.

Hey man, just watched this video and subbed straight away, your straightforward style and sound and camera quality is that of someone 100k+ subs! Anyway, recently I bought a Dell Optiplex 3040 i5-6500, and was wondering if the power supply you mentioned is compatible/ necessary. The graphics card I wish to install runs off the motherboard power

This is a good video for if u plan on installing a more power hungry card to a system like this. But u could have also just have gotten a slot powered GPU that wouldn't require a 6 pin or 8pin GPU adapter and game as well for even cheaper if u got a used GPU like an rx460/560, gt1030, 750ti, GTX 950, gtx 1050, or 1050ti. This way you wouldn't have to change out the PSU. That PSU is pretty decent for a lower watt PSU.

Thanks, nicely explained, simple and clear.

thank you i needed this i didn’t know i needed the converter cord

Have the same Dell 9020 System, Bought an adapter today, I hope all goes well :), and by the way, I like your videos.

Thanks for the 24pin adapter link! Totally saved my build!

I like to use SFX power supplies in micro atx cases so you do not have so many wires all over.

Congrats man, you made me subscribe within a minute :D

Thanks bro, this video helped a lot!

I love u man, i was scared 'cause i bought a Radeon rx 570 to my Dell 9020, but there was not a 24 pines on the motherboard, i'l try then with adaptor, God Bless you

We need disassembly and upgrade options for Dell Latitude 7320 Detachable

Hy guys quick question. I have a Thermal-take 750 PSU and a dell optiplex 5050. Im going to need to use a 24-6 pin adapter. Just wondering is this safe ? Thanks all

Well I build up my Dell Optiplex 9020 mt myself for both Gaming and Photography work. It's using a GTX 1050 Ti , Corsair 650 80+ PSU, 32Gb. 12800 Ram, with 512 SSD on Windows 10 and it does everything and anything I ever wanted... for Gaming FarCry 3,4,5 and Greed Fall, etc. It's also got an upgraded CPU to use i7-4790k which is the fastest this PC can handle... Love my PC and only paid $170 for it refurbished 2 years back on ebay!! It had just the barebone basics of ram, HDD, and IGP.

I like the background music.

I will be so happy if you will be a big tech youtuber you deserve it!!!!

I was very surprised to see that 8 pin motherboard connector. I have a Dell 7010 from the prior year that has a standard 24 Pin ATX connector for the motherboard, so my new power supply didn't require any adapter. (Mine is a Plex Server, not gaming, but with 6 spinning drives I wanted to have enough power)

This aged like fine cheese

Thanks for the video I wanted knowing if these would work for dell optiplex 9020 seems a little different in terms of the dimensiions of the pc box

thanks for this video bro, i got this pc, thanks bro

I have almost the same thing but different things I don’t know much about pc’s but my pc turns on but there is no display could you do a video about the power cords and what you need to plug in for it to have display on your monitor?

did the exact same build, 450 power, Dell 9020, Radeon 6950. Will not boot up or turn on. Help any bios suggestions? Thank you for getting back to me, must be a bad graphics card will get another . Love this build!!

Awesome vid! Followed step by step

Aunque no se muy bien inhles me ayudó demasiado este video, siempre compren una buena fuente luego gasten en cosas como "memoria con rgb o ventiladores con lucecitas" aseguren todo y luego metan lo que quieran que sea más estético

a 1650 is a little smaller to so this build is pretty good for options

If you're good at soldering you can open the power supply and cut off and cap the unused wires inside. You could cut off the old power connection and wire it inside the unit to the appropriate wires. and you wouldn't need the adapter. Also I would use the sata wires from the new power supply and you could custom shorten them to fit, And remove the unused molex wires and whatever else you don't' need. If your good you could identify the different power rails and route one to just the GPU and one to the CPU separately. I have a crimper for the motherboard connectors and some crimps and have made some really clean power supply upgrades. I think the machine will run cooler without a ton of wires unused stuffed in them. Just sayin' Mike

very calm

I got a prebuilt pc and came with a 1660 but a psu that's 310w. The 1660 has a 6 pin hole set for the one plug plus 2 pin holes for the other plug. Can I use this psu?

In threory couldn't I bypass using the 5 pin hdd_odd port that's next to the 8 pin power port on the motherboard now that i have an upgraded power supply? Or would do I still have to use that 5 pin hdd_odd port to power the dvd and hard drive or couId i simply leave that port empty and use the sata power cables that are coming out of my new power supply bypassing the hdd_odd port?

No luck with Radeon. I did, however, pick up a Gtx 770 for $60 and a gtx 960 for $50, 2 500w 80+ fir 70 and 2 Xeon E3 1230 V2s for 26. Great week!

I have a Dell Optiplex 9020 MT and I think I made a mistake on getting a 750w PU, it won't fit in the case as it gets caught up on the dismount slide on the top center of the case. it's too long to fit apparently, unless I'm doing something wrong.

Your voice is so calming man

Hi i know I'm late but I was wondering if these upgrades work with the SFF version of this computer thanks in advance

How do I turn it on do I turn on the power switch on the back of the PSU and then press the button on the front of the case? I’m not sure. My PC isn’t turning on even though I triple checked all cables

Thank you for the video

hello sir,,, i have like this computer,, but optiplex 3010 MT and i want ask you if corsair cv450 PSU, work with my computer or no?
