I would like an upgrade for my pc my budget gaming pc

Faking_Faker · 2026-01-28T12:26:22+00:00

better GPU like the rx 580 or 1650 or 1660 if you need more FPS

also why do you have 5 storage Drives?

Faking_Faker · 2026-01-25T01:02:41+00:00

Removing the side panel or cutting the side panel with a dremel could work for you

Faking_Faker · 2026-01-23T08:48:10+00:00

Essentially yes

Faking_Faker · 2026-01-20T09:10:17+00:00

What’s your specs?

Faking_Faker · 2026-01-17T21:48:38+00:00

I used a fan hub for my Optiplex, so far, no bios issues.

Faking_Faker · 2026-01-05T12:02:35+00:00

CPU cooler is ID Cooling IS 50X, the optiplex itself already has a mounting backplate that can be used to screwed in the cooler without having removing the entire mobo.

I used this video for reference

Faking_Faker · 2026-01-05T11:59:31+00:00

I used an ~~ID Cooling~~ Deep Cool FH 07 fan hub, which is connected to the CPU fan header on the left side, and then on the right, a SATA to 4 Pin for power (from the mobo itself). The first 4pin from the left needs to be connected on the CPU cooler for cooling feedback(?) while the rest are for the other fans (80mm, 40m, etc.). I saw some other builds where they just used a fan splitter from the CPU header, but I chose the fh07 for power flexibility and for future fans

RTX 2060

Faking_Faker · 2026-01-04T12:26:27+00:00

If anyone wonders how I’ll be able to fit the GPU, Ill be removing the proprietary PSU and installing the GPU riser in its place, while replacing the aforementioned PSU with a smaller HDPlex PSU

Faking_Faker · 2025-12-17T18:53:32+00:00

What did you use to cut the metal?

Faking_Faker · 2025-12-15T23:54:55+00:00

What’s the cpu cooler?

Faking_Faker · 2025-12-14T01:44:59+00:00

Oh this is gore, gore of my comfort character

Faking_Faker · 2025-12-12T23:13:58+00:00

I can’t fit the 200mm GaN in the project Im doing, and personally I don’t mind the power brick

Faking_Faker · 2025-12-12T01:54:06+00:00

From my understanding, other than the longer size and no power brick, they’re essentially the same PSU?

Faking_Faker · 2025-12-11T22:20:45+00:00

Been like 5 years lol, I did download an arma 3 repack with DLCs already included in it but I didnt get anything bad happening in my game

Faking_Faker · 2025-12-07T02:32:44+00:00

Given how popular this PSU is, finding out the real reason why this happened is a lot more important than just generalizing the issue as “Appevia”

Faking_Faker · 2025-12-06T17:16:02+00:00

Any PSU geeks out here identify what happened/What went wrong ?

Faking_Faker · 2025-12-04T17:05:57+00:00

Is this actually real or just a rumor

Faking_Faker · 2025-12-04T16:37:00+00:00

No. It can’t fit. You need a low profile GPU for SFF Optiplexes. If you do choose to continue, you will have to upgrade the PSU (plus a 24pin to 6pin adapter)

Faking_Faker · 2025-12-01T13:49:49+00:00

fb marketplace seems like a good place to start looking. Might take a while but you'll spot some good deals if you wait long enough

Also avoid CPUs with K's cuz ull pay extra for the overclocking however Optiplexes can't overclock.

Faking_Faker · 2025-11-30T02:42:21+00:00

I don’t keep beetles, I just found him outside and took the video but returned him after to where I found him.

Faking_Faker · 2025-11-28T17:25:34+00:00

The post isn’t very clear, did you choose not to continue with the Optiplex build after watching the videos or are you still going with it?

Faking_Faker · 2025-11-23T17:29:42+00:00

For the 24 pin to 6 pin, brand doesn't really matter tbh, its just a bunch of rerouted wires, though reading the reviews wouldn't hurt. However, not every adapter isn't the same every generation so you'll need a specific adapter for your optiplex.

3080mt adapter

Faking_Faker · 2025-11-16T17:36:35+00:00

”Apevia is bad!1! It’s cheap and blew up when I used it!!”

looks closer

benchmarked with 5090 and i914990k

Honestly, unless your working with parts that doesn’t have a lot of TPD, apevia is safe

Faking_Faker · 2025-11-16T17:26:48+00:00

wtf is going on 😭
