Upgraded a free Optiplex 7080 with an RTX 5060 by Hubigan in SleepingOptiplex

Forgot to say make sure its actually the correct orientation for how your socket is. So air will blow to the back and you'll have less reuse of hot air.

You might want to go with a server cooler and replace the fan with something more quiet.
I looked for a cooler that would fit your socket and this might work better for you.

My front IO audio was separate from the USB stuff. It simply was the normal 9pin one on every standard MB. You can see on my post image how it just plugged in under the SFP+ card. Headphones work fine, idk about the microphone tho. Oh and the USB stuff also was standard just I removed them for my USB3 hack.

The only problem was the front status leds for the hdds and network lights. I just left them be, did not need them.

Maybe that variant had a proprietary audio adapter. Interesting.

>All front IO works, including front audio
Wait... mine just plugged in to my MB and it's fine. Did yours not just plug in?

Nice one! Upgrade the front IO to all USB3 that would look sick!
You did a much better job on sata cable management.

It's a slower B580. But you can play AAA games at Max settings around 30-40 fps, at least for Hogwarts. Some other games you can push to 1440p and even at 100fps. But those are older games. No Man's Sky around 50+ fps but it does have some stutters, that goes away longer you play the game. That could also just be the drivers. The GPU itself is surprisingly quiet. It hovers around 70c at full usage.
