So, I bought the ATX 24 to Mini 24 pin Optiplex 980 cable I got from Fry's electronics. Plugged it all in and no power. I know the PSU works cause I got it from another PC. Put it back to make sure it works. But when I plug it into the 980. It does not work. What gives? The cable is new out the box. Even swapped it for another. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

You can use any NVidia gtx 750/950/1050 that has connectors in one slot only... I used a dremmel to shave the corner of the plastic housing so that it would fit, and shaved down the second slot face plate cover, (it is only an exhaust port for the fan anyway). I did this for 3 lan OptiPlex 980's 2 years ago and they all work great as silent gaming machines (paired with the i7 870K unlocked processor. Also, I highly recommend getting a pci-ex riser card so you can make use of the NIC expansion slot as well, it will give you more expansion options if you want to put in a wireless A/C pci-express card in the second slot.

You have to cut a little bit off the plastic cover at the bottom corner on the video card just enough to fit it on the pci x16 slot I use a regular wire cutter doesn't affect anything since the piece you are cutting is just decorative plastic cover on the video card, once cut it will fit fine with the big heat sink that was on the way.

Hey guys, I just wanted to let everyone know that you can literally upgrade this Optiplex 980 with any graphics card. I'm running my Optiplex 980 with Nvidia GTX 1070 founders edition. Thats a very long card and it actually fits in the bottom PCI E slot(the black PCI E, not blue one). I got an i7 processor with 8GB ram and i'm running the latest games from year 2018 at ultra settings. You can even play games at 4K Ultra.
@misa42946 жыл бұрын
So.. What's the difference between the black and blue one?
@notusingit694206 жыл бұрын
The blue slot is PCI E 16x and the black one is 4x...But there will be very minor difference in gaming performance if you compare 4x and 16x. The games will run hardly 5 frames slower on 4x as compared to 16x. But if you want to use the blue slot, then you have to remove the stock CPU cooler and add something like coolermaster hyper 212 evo on it. That should clear up the space for blue slot. But trust me, its not worth it. And one more thing, you have to replace that stock power supply unit with at least 500W power supply if you plan to use Nvidia GTX 1070 or higher.

Whats the best gpu that you could suggest for my 980 after i replace the PSU ? 2. Whats the best processor you could suggest after i replace the PSU ?

Nice video. I installed 4-4gb sticks of Corsair xms3 1333mhz in mine with a i7-860 and a gtx750 1gb version. I had to modify the 750. No chance in hell am I cutting up my gtx1050ti sc 4gb to put in mine. I also installed a killer rosewill wireless pci card.

Arnold Woodley, Yes a Xeon will work on the 980. The processor you need is the Xeon X3460 Socket 1156. It's very similar to the Core i7-860, but half the price. You can buy the processor on eBay for around $20-$40. Also, you need to update the bios to A17.
