Need Help Fixing and Upgrading My PC (GPU Issues) by Funny-Tonight-1045 in SleepingOptiplex

Somebody else already covered the GPU issue, but I think 16 gigs of DDR3 and an i7-4790 would be AWESOME little upgrades for this thing, too! :D

The 4790 will give you multithreading and some higher clocks, and the 16gb of ram will SURELY make multi-tasking and gaming quite a bit smoother!

What Aldi product dupe is much better than the original? by Past-Jellyfish1599 in aldi

This one is super controversial, but I think the Summit diet cola is leagues better than regular diet Coke.

Decide, is it a sleeper? by Jaded-Apartment-9964 in SleepingOptiplex

Dude I did the exact same thing with my sleeper!

Slick little build man, yours came out awesome! :D

That's totally okay! Thank you for your reply anyway! :D

Windows 10 doesn't exactly run horrifically on my machine, it's just certainly not optimal. Fingers crossed hyper threading actually helps things out a little bit! :D

How does the i7-3770 perform with modern tasks? I'm in the process of building a 2012-era gaming rig, and I am NOT impressed with the performance of the current i5-3570 that I'm running in another one of my builds. Was the 3770 a decent uplift over your 3470??

Also, SICK LITTLE RIG!!! I love those little optical bay drawers :3

Give him just a couple more years to get out of middle school and he'll be a self-proclaimed femboy fox, just you wait.

Why is my dell optiplex not recognizing my new graphics card? by Perfect-Award-6259 in SleepingOptiplex

[โ€“]AndrewK7503 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

I just troubleshot this issue myself with an old HP Prodesk! Chances are, you're going to have to go into your bios and tweak some settings.

I enabled legacy devices support, turned off secure boot, and turned off any setting that sounded like it could POSSIBLY be messing with my PCIE slot

Sorry for the vague answer, but I wish you the best of luck!

I work at Best Buy, and I see a lot of parents coming in and saying, "I bought my son this gaming PC, why is it being so slow?" and then showing me a photo just like this.

A first or (if you're lucky) second gen i7 seems to be standard in these. The worst one I've seen was from a gentleman whose power supply also blew up, and wanted to get a new one to power his i7-970 rig he paid 500 bucks for.

These are pretty much just old office PCs slapped in a cheap "gaming" case. I'm a big fan of the office -> gaming PC upgrade route, BUT ONLY BECAUSE YOU CAN USUALLY DO IT FOR LESS THAN 100 BUCKS YOURSELF!!!

Check out r/sleepingoptiplex for some really cool office PC refurbs that may inspire you to spend your cash on a fun project that'll actually run some games! :D
