Dell Optiplex 7050 Review

[@UTFapollomarine7409]

thanks and God bless bro i just grabbed one for fruity loops hate using my main editing rig and gaming rig for music or audio

[@RealElementProductions]

These are really good for fruity loops. Unfortunately a lot of people buy these for gaming and I keep having to tell them they got duped by an ad they saw online and that their GT 1030 will maybe push 15 frames on Fortnite. I have a couple of main machines myself, a Pavilion gaming laptop with a broken screen someone gave to me that I use for gaming, and a Dell Latitude 5490 for all my out and about stuff. Sounds like you’ve got your priorities sorted, have fun with your badass new machine!

It seems a bit weird that Dell only put a 180W power supply in its newer SFF models. I bought a 9020 SFF for my father a while ago which came with a 240W power supply and it handles a GTX 1650 just fine. It's a really neat little machine and besides the PCIe slot situation (wide slot being at the bottom) the only significant drawback seems to be that the platform only supports CPUs with up to 4 cores.

[@Office-Clerk]

Its because intel 4th gen CPUs consumes much power than intel 6/7gen cpu's (85w vs 65w tdp for i7 models) And there is no point at having powerful PSU for GPUs on these machines, because GPUs on them are constrained by powering from PCIe, which is equal (75w max) despite of optiplex generation

[@Max_Mustermann]

@@Office-Clerk I get your point. But if I'm not mistaken, the newer Optiplex with a 180W PSU, 65W CPU and a 75W GPU would only have 40W remaining for the rest of the system, while the older model with the 240W PSU, 85W CPU and 75W GPU would have 80W remaining. I assume Dell took the max. wattage of the GPU into account when designing both systems, but the older model would theoretically have more overhead for things like custom fans, etc.

[@RealElementProductions]

It’s pretty depressing the amount of people who buy these expecting to throw in a full size graphics card and run off playing fancy games. That being said, most small form factor desktops like the one in this video only accept low profile cards that meet the power requirements. For the full sized tower users they’re in for a nasty surprise when their machines shut off using an RTX 2070

[@Zaxbox]

I've had a 7050 sff sitting in the corner for about a year that was given to me for free. I finally opened it up and started messing around with it. Might use it as a replacement for the old HP Compaq at work or find some other use for it. It has 16gb of RAM, no hdd, a low profile 1gb RAM AMD card. It's also TPM 1.2. I added another 16gb of RAM (32gb total) and a 1TB M.2 drive. I'd like to add a 4gb low profile videocard but I think that the PSU would need to be upgraded. I'd like to put Win11 on it but it needs TPM 2.0 but I've read that the 7050 can run Win 11 if manually loaded from a USB drive. I'll have to check into it.

[@RealElementProductions]

Oh yeah, big time. Download Rufus and when loading the official Microsoft Windows 11 iso (available on their website for free) it will prompt you to disable the TPM 2.0 requirement and skip privacy requirements among a whole bunch of other tweaks

[@Office-Clerk]

Amd rx6400 may work with default psu. Its just 53w. Some of these dells were supplied with nvida/amd APUs that consume more, and there are many of them on sale with some old weak GPUs, which consumed more as well.

[@stevenbeeney]

Impressive lingo, "small form factor.". Next time I get groceries, I'll ask if they have any SFF tomatoes. And why can't Detroit make a good, small form factor car? On a happy note, I just got a Dell 7050 and deleted every nasty SFF bit of Windows OS, of course, and installed Ubuntu Pro Studio. It screams! I love it. 16 GB of RAM easily handles large 4K video and all of the max quality audio editing I can imagine. A great machine like the 7050 deserve a great OS.

[@RealElementProductions]

Haha! Back in the 90s-early 2000s “small form factor” would have been equivalent to today’s towers; Big heavy metallic monsters. You can find SFF tomatoes around the cherry or grape tomato section, and the last good “SFF” car from Detroit was the Geo Metro, which was kinda built in Japan but oh well. I love disabling the telemetry in Windows as well. There’s a reason new versions are free, and your data is the culprit. Ubuntu is an excellent alternative. You’re doing everything right! I still see these in use everywhere and I’m sending my regards towards your video editing prowess. Good luck :)

[@napowolf]

Nice walkthrough of internals of the machine. I don't know why Dell decided to put only one PCIEx16 slot in Optiplex SFFs ever since 4th gen Intel era, and also put it under under the x4 slot. If you need both expansion slots, you would naturally go with a single slot option for a GPU upgrade. By placing the x4 slot up top, Dell essentially limits the machine to a GT1030, RX550 or some LP Quadro cards for discrete GPUS. RX6400 gets pretty huge performance hits without PCIE 4.0 support, since it only has 4 PCIE lanes

[@RealElementProductions]

I need your knowledge and technical explanations in future videos

[@E_free90]

"huge hits" = 10% = 5-7 fps less. Someone testes it out. It's a non issue!

[@buda3d2007]

180 watts is less than the 230 watts on the 9020, I got the i7 9020 for the same price as a i5 7040 and the extra cores do make a difference. (NOTE the half PCI slot can take a 1050ti, the power output is less but you will never push it to the level it will need the extra power, probably a good thing given the watt output on the PSU)

[@RealElementProductions]

Nice! You can never go wrong with a Haswell. There was a security flaw that led Intel to discontinue DirectX 12 support, but I'm not completely sure if that's only for the integrated GPU or any graphics card period. The 4770 still is a legendary processor, and 230 watts is a nice improvement over these newer models!

This machine should be called Optiplex 7050 SFF(small form factor)

[@RealElementProductions]

I use 7050 as a broad term since the small form factors are by far the most common model. The CMT models are too large for most people and the USFF models are too limited by their expansion. I’m banking on the fact the majority of my audience will know the difference, but for the beginner computer enthusiast I will try to fit that information into the title or description of my future videos.

[@daxmoney5011]

Put a low profile 1650 in there and you can game pretty well because since it’s not going to use as much power as a normal 1650 and if you remove the vents next to it you can actually get some decent ventilation on a low profile but the big ones heck no

[@Trptz06]

Can you please recommend internal upgrades for this pc? I’m new to desktops and I’m not sure what to get

[@RealElementProductions]

Honestly? The best internal upgrade for this computer is a newer optiplex. Now, before you say "That's not what I was asking", a 7060 or 7070 offers support for newer, more efficient Intel CPUs in their respective newer motherboards, faster memory is installed, quicker M.2 SSD support is present, and Windows 11 becomes natively supported. You'll get more USB-C ports on the front/back for your modern devices, and they're barely any more expensive than the 7050 in this video. The best upgrade to this Dell Optiplex, is another Dell Optiplex

I’m buying one of Walmart it have 32gram ddr4 And a i7 quad core And I just wanna know can it have a graphics card?

[@RealElementProductions]

Nice, it won’t have a graphics card unless specified, the GPU most people optioned for when new was the AMD Radeon R7 350X, which is so-so but still better than integrated graphics. If the desktop is a small form factor then that limits you wildly on the different GPUs you can option because it only accepts low profile cards and the power supply is too weak to handle most of them. Also, I wouldn’t recommend buying a refurbished PC from Walmart. They aren’t done by Walmart themselves, but any one of thousands of companies that pay Walmart to advertise their PCs. I would shoot towards eBay where you’ll save a hundred or more bucks for the same thing, just check for good feedback from the seller in question, you can have a bad experience with either platform

@@hugomartinezgalicia8084 I don’t think so and the difference would be negligible because there’s no heat or light reaching the inside of the case.

[@lalitbhatt8656]

Can we update this cpu with Nvidia quadro k620 2gb graphics card with 180 watt power supply.

[@RealElementProductions]

Not a good idea. The integrated graphics on a newer version (7060, 7070) are better than the K620, and since posting this video you can find those machines for roughly the same price. Also, you get an 8th or 9th generation Intel CPU!

[@갓생사는중]

umm, I have a question, is It possible to replace graphic card? for instance GTX750 or RTX 2060

[@RealElementProductions]

It IS, but the two major constraints are power and card size. It is very hard to find a decent low profile, dual slot GTX 1650, let alone an RTX 2060. The 180w power supply cannot handle anything faster than a GT 1030, which is slower than integrated graphics. You technically could pull a 460w PSU out of an Optiplex 7071 and it will fit and hook up. It is infinitely easier to find a GTX 750 low profile card, and you might even be able to get away with using the normal power supply, but the more I think about it upgrading the power supply and throwing in a nice 1650, IF you can find one, sounds like the ultimate sleeper project. I would do extensive research into the project, including matching part numbers. Forums are your friend and from the multitude I've looked at while writing this comment it's entirely possible. Good luck and let me know how it goes! Edit: I would like to add that it would be a better idea to buy a CMT (Mini Tower) to fit a far cheaper, full size, and potentially more reliable graphics card in a chassis with a larger 240w power supply to start with. The newer Optiplex models are falling in price, and you can land yourself a nice 8th or 9th generation Intel processor in the process for around the same price! Again, the project of replacing the power supply and using a low profile card in the machine you already have sounds like a lot of fun! But you will be spending a lot more money in the process using parts that may or may not work.

[@tevinmars1801]

I just came on one of these for free wanted to know if it would be good for gaming? , WARZONE to be specific!

[@RealElementProductions]

Okay, so there's 2 of these models you'd be looking at. The ones with integrated graphics, and the ones that came with an AMD R7 350. There's about a $50 price difference between the 2 and one of the PCI slots on the back will be filled with display adapters. The integrated model is out of the question, but the AMD R7 will certainly push 45fps on medium settings @1080p. That makes it a solid value given the sheer number of these on every site you go to, along with their subsequent low prices. BUT... Gaming PCs are coming down in price with the introduction of 12th gen Intel processors and how ridiculously inefficient mining coins has become. I would look for a nice HP Pavilion gaming desktop, HP has had an interesting reputation throughout their Pavilion line and prices are pretty solid on them.

[@RealElementProductions]

Not natively, but using certain applications you can find on the internet you can create a USB with Windows 11 that will bypass the TPM 2.0 requirement that’s only on 8th generation Intel Core I-series CPUs. Hope this helps, I don’t want to mention programs that bypass security requirements set by Microsoft

[@McFeds]

@@RealElementProductions oh, thank you for the information

[@aceato]

How much fps would this pc get on games like fortnite etc

[@RealElementProductions]

40-60 with the graphics card on medium settings. 20-30 on low without

[@JamesGhost-jw9wn]

Is it capable of windows 11?

[@RealElementProductions]

Not natively, Windows 11 requires an 8th gen Intel CPU, this one has a 6th gen. You would need to make a custom ISO using Rufus, when you click start it will prompt you to bypass TPM 2.0 security then you can install Windows 11 from a USB drive

[@JamesGhost-jw9wn]

@@RealElementProductions I'm looking for a pc within my budget and came across this on amazon. I wnat to buy it but i was worried about windows 11. I won't pretend i'm fully comprehensive on it but if i install windows 11 using rufus, there wont be any software errors and it runs smoothly?

[@RealElementProductions]

Roblox for sure, Genshin impact may have slight frame stutters with integrated graphics. I recommend a low profile GTX 1050 then you can play practically anything

Yes, the 7050 supports 6th and 7th gen Intel CPUs all the way from the Pentium (gross) to the i7

How much is the W of the power supply? I want to put a Gtx 1050 ti or Rx 550 Low Profile?

[@RealElementProductions]

180w. Not enough

[@asfaltweg]

@@RealElementProductions a gtx 1050ti will actually work on this pc. Lots of people on youtube have installed it without any problem

[@conutux722]

put in a rx6400. did not boot, probably bc of the psu. Pls confirm this is fhe issud

[@RealElementProductions]

Depends. The power supply should be able to handle booting with the RX6400. If there aren't enough/the right connectors for the card it won't boot. If you see a flashing orange light the power supply is overloaded. The recommended PSU is 350w, runs flawlessly on 450w-750w. This one is likely too low, yes. I would recommend a CMT (convertible mini-tower) Dell Optiplex 7090 with a 10th gen Intel processor. They have more power, are falling in price, and allow you greater expendability with the excellent driver support that comes with Dell

[@helifynoe9930]

Any model that is NOT Win11 compatible, will be much cheaper than the rest. An i5-9500 CPU is not compatible

[@RealElementProductions]

Great point, although I think you meant to say 6500, any 8th generation or greater CPU is compatible with Windows 11

[@oyumichan03]

Windows 10 ?

i got one today for 125 what nvidia card will fit in this? thanks

[@buda3d2007]

Half card slot will take a 1650 thats runs of PCI power alone, but you would be safe to stick with a 1030gt as well, go for a thin card if you want to use the full sized slot.

[@RealElementProductions]

A 1650?? Hot diggity dog

[@noahhodson6462]

How much fps would you say that this pc can run?

[@RealElementProductions]

Depends on the game and if it has a graphics card inside. The AMD Radeons that some people configured with these machines make a huge difference, like going from ~15fps to ~55fps on GTA 5. I know because I've owned both of these models. You should be able to find one of these machines with a graphics card in it for the same price as a standard model, you'll just have to look a little harder

[@RealElementProductions]

Not anymore, and they weren’t really capable at the time either. I would suggest an HP Pavilion gaming laptop or desktop. I’ve had a lot of great luck with those types of machines dedicated to gaming

[@Tamaragreenway]

@@RealElementProductions can any of the dell optiplex play those games

[@RealElementProductions]

@@TamaragreenwayIf you’re really set on a Dell Optiplex for gaming get a Dell Optiplex 7070 CMT with an 8th or 9th generation Intel Core i7. The CMT is the largest tower they offer which generally comes with a larger power supply good enough for a GTX 1060 graphics card. The reason I didn’t recommend an Optiplex for gaming is the price of purchasing the computer and graphics card would outweigh getting a used purpose built gaming machine. I don’t recommend Dells gaming desktops like the G series due to poor quality and even some reports of fires due to shoddy wiring and power supply failures

[@RealElementProductions]

Can you be a little more descriptive? How does it crash?

[@Animboyexe]

@@RealElementProductionsevery four hours it freezes and says “hard drive not found” or “no bootable devices found” then I have to keep rebooting the pc just because that’s the only way it works

[@RealElementProductions]

@@Animboyexe sounds like a failing hard drive or solid state drive. Believe it or not ssds have a shorter lifespan on average than hard drives but either way I would try purchasing a new 240GB SSD from Best Buy, they have them for $15. Pop it in, install Windows, and see if that fixes the issue. If it doesn’t then you have 2 working storage drives you can install in a newer PC
