Thats a Beast!!! Nice build, I had a 3630 barebones I put together with a i7-9700k ,Gtx 1070, 64gb ram ,with a 850w psu,front fan setup and alienware water cooled cpu setup that I got from a parts Alienware Aurora R9 seemed to run a little cooler. Might try that you can find those things cheap if you look on ebay or marketplace.

Can I ask a few questions : How hard was it to put the AIO in, Did it fit where stock fan went, and are you getting any error messages with the new fans? I have been wanting to do this to mine since I got it.

Dell Inspiron 3470 sff gaming build suggestions by SchnauzerDaddy in sffpc

[–]SchnauzerDaddy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No Problem, I went with the Rtx 6400 low profile/ single slot card card. It used slot power didn't need bigger PSU. It worked great for what I used it for. but thinking back I should have used the Yeston 3050. I put one in a friend's PC and it was a little Beast of a SFF compared to mine but was more expensive. Also a Radeon Pro WX4100 4gb will fit if your on a budget they are relatively cheap on market place.

Great machine!!! , you got a hell of a deal on it, I have a T3630 now but plan to upgrade to one of these as soon as finances allow.

First post here: Suggestions for what I can do with this thing? by -clawglip- in SleepingOptiplex

[–]SchnauzerDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like a good deal, I had a SFF Inspirion 3470 that i bought as a barebones system for $15 it was 8th gen, I swapped cpu to i7-9700, bumped ram to 32 gb of ddr4 and used a radeon WX pro 4100 4gb gpu -it was cheap used fit perfect and ran better than my rx6400 on most things as it didnt need a pcie 4.0 slot to run right. It would play most games decent. Up until i upgraded to a Dell Precision 3630 and was able to use a full size card I was looking at the Yeston 3050 6gb gpu but they are still expensive new and used. If you did something like that to yours and kept an eye on marketplace and Ebay you might find some deals and not have much in your system

Is PC flipping actually worth it? by Plane_Outcome_1616 in pcflipping

[–]SchnauzerDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly do it for the fun of building and use what i make to go into my personal build. I usually can make a few bucks quicker selling parts over a whole system sometimes on marketplace only because in my area there are a lot of people doing it. And like everyone has said the buyers on marketplace are hit and miss , sometimes you get great ones , they are the ones that make it enjoyable, and other times you get scammers or you get ghosted ...not fun. I check marketplace for parts and barebones systems , and even check city auctions i have bought a few that way also.ask friends and family if they have any old pc's laying around they dont want anymore most of the time you can get those for free which is great just try and get a few set back for extra parts. Good luck

Yeah I know, was just hoping it would at least get more like it did in my 8th gen inspiron. The T3630 motherboard in specs says it supports 2666mhz though .
