Hi I have a question as per checked the motherboard only support 2666mhz but you are using 3200mhz. Any problem you encountered using 3200mhz?

[@lilplush670]

No If you checked your ram sticks you would see the 3200 mhz

[@antoniiocaluso1071]

thanks!! for the tip about NOT using a SATA connection for an extra fan, as I was just about to order one. Those multispeed controllers seem the way-to-go! thanks for the GREAT videos!! do you happen to have tested fan temperatures BEFORE & AFTER the fan-flip? Those fan frames are pretty flimsy! I'll do as you say...

[@scrubnurseadventures]

I bought an msi 1660 gtx super to put in my inspiron 3891 but it needs a power supply. I basically destroyed the back to get it in but now I find out it needs a power supply cable. Where do I connect the 8-pin power supply cable to the cpu if I buy one?

[@DominiqueWillkins]

Hey Guys, just wanted to share some information. I have an Inspiron 3891 with some upgraded components: i5-10400f ASUS nVIDIA TUF GTX 1650 4gb DDR6 w./6 pin 12 gb RAM DDR4 2666 mhz 256 gb NVME and a 500gb PNY SSD And i've upgraded the power supply to the 360w Dell one. About to upgrade to 32gb of RAM next week. I have been doing a lot of VR testing with an Oculus 2 Quest and also using Air Link, not the link cable (yet) Will keep posting my findings!

[@danteararatyan8220]

How much was the 360 watt power supply cause I really want to get a dell one so it fits in instead of figuring out like a evga power supply

[@danteararatyan8220]

Also what’s the max ram speed this computer can take like the mother board because I’m looking at 2x8gb 3200 but if it can go more I would be down

[@DominiqueWillkins]

@@danteararatyan8220 It cost like 30 dollars. Its been working fine!

[@DominiqueWillkins]

@@danteararatyan8220 For that speed, that would be the max. For the lower one 2666 is 32.

[@mxkdt]

Hi. thanks for the info.

[@humantacos9800]

Above the PCI slot for video card there's a space that says "slot 2" under the SSD NVMe screw holder. Is that for a second SSD?

[@davidpilsner3770]

You stated that this pc has the 260 power supply…so I’m assuming that all your upgrades will work with that power supply. I have a nvidia GeForce gt 730…4gb…low profile…question is, will this video card work with the 260 power? It’s not in your list… I compliment you on this video…I was really trying to bring my 3891 unit updated some…

[@commoncrypto4111]

Which way is the fan orientated?

[@keithtallent6713]

Doesn’t that graphics card require a 6pin power cable which isn’t present by default on this system, therefore a PSU upgrade is required as well

[@Alex_Zhigaylo]

i got a question so the ram you used in the video does it also work?

[@jonathanmorales3084]

So fan is blowing outwards right? And did you really flip the main internal fan?

[@bahamasc]

Your videos always come in clutch. Will the video card block the other Pci-e slot? Also will installing the graphics card disable the onboard graphics or can i use it in addition. Basically i need to add a sound card (need a dedicated mic in), and a GTX 1050 TI LP for a 4 monitor setup.

[@mxkdt]

[@95winston]

Thank you mate .... i have one of those desktops so your video was perfect for me

[@mxkdt]

Hi, thanks

[@joshuaburnett4896]

so is the additional fan needed if i just want to upgrade ram only? or do i have to also upgrade the graphics card? im really only wanting it as a work computer not a performance computer. But with only 12gb ram in the one i have it gets bogged down so easily for some reason. i have 64g ram in my gaming pc and was just looking to do 32 in this one.

[@Pokeartmaster]

If all I want is 4k video editing, do I need the video card?

[@himanshuparmar8429]

i also have this 3891 and 260w broze can i install gtx 1650 zotac one probably?can i?

[@hondahems]

Hi @mxkdi nice video thanks! How much of a difference does the 80mm fan make? And did you have it facing to remove the hot air from the case and bring air into the case?

[@mxkdt]

Hi, thanks, machine runs a lot cooler with 80mm fan because with out that fan PC will run very hot when you add video card , and also you have to remove that plastic black fan shroud and you have to flip CPU fan so that will allow to cool down motherboard's VRM.

[@hondahems]

​@@mxkdt thanks for the reply I added a 80mm usb fan as an exhaust at rear and top of the case. I will also be adding 4 40mm usb fans along the grill on the side panel too as intake fans. They should fit nicely with some slight modification to the grill. You can get them as a pair so 2 fans only take up one usb socket. I have a GTX1650 so this will help airflow and hopefully keep it cool. Is it an issue if I don't flip the cpu fan? If I do flip it will I need a dust filter on the fan? It's quite difficult to unscrew as I do not have a precision screwdriver. What tool did you use? Would the stanley 6 precision screwdriver set work. I saw it one of your over videos. I am also considering usb extender cables to a hub that I have with on/off switches so I can turn the fans on/off easily. When the PC is doing basic tasks I do not need the fans to be on.

[@mxkdt]

Thanks for the info, It is not an issue and i did use mini phillips head screw driver to remove the CPU fan and also on the bottom those plastic clips will fall off the heatsink and you have to align them when installing CPU fan back.

[@yourforeignlocal]

Nice! I don't like the stock case design, front panel and airflow, but I think you did a great job with it. Installing the case fan at the rear is probably a wise choice, as it is very congested up front with regards to the power supply intake. Other than that, I might consider a Noctua U9s cpu cooler, but I'm not sure how the vents along the base of the side panel would interfere with the airflow. Ideally, I would try sealing that off and modding the front panel for a little more intake near the bottom front

[@mxkdt]

Hi, thanks.. honestly there are not much air flow from the front vents on the bottom if you can cut the bottom plastic for better air flow intake fan install..

I worked on the Dell optiplexs so much, I was surprised to find an HDD in a metal frame instead of the usual built-in plastic caddys. I don't understand why they still put in HDDs instead of ssd . It's about $50 difference for the same size. The RAM on this thing is VERY picky. I was using 2x32GB Hyperx fine. Then Dell pulled a BIOS update when I wasn't paying attention. That stopped working. I tried G-Skill - didn't work. They original 12Gb setup worked. I bought Crucial 2x16GB and luckily that works! I follow Dell Community where they talk about this a lot!
