On most of the Optiplex models I have worked with you can JUST fit in a 80mm fan to intake in the front (i super glue them in but you could probably use a drill to screw it in). Makes A LOT of difference on temps.

[@TheGameBench]

The problem with saying that the RX 6400 only loses about 15% performance in a Gen3 slot doesn't really give you an idea of how bad running one in a Gen3 slot can be. Just look at some of the frame rate consistency in your own testing. That's because the RX 6400 just had too many corners cut. Too few PCIe lanes, the constricted memory bus and only having 4GB of RAM are the issue... and it has issues even in a Gen4 slot. Gen3 just compounds those issues since you're now cutting the bandwidth in half. This leads to not just a loss in average frame rate, but more importantly, frame rate consistency. It's not so much an issue with bottlnecking the GPU itself, it's that you're seriously bottlenecking the communication between the video memory and anything that needs to access it. That's not to say it has problems in every game, but it's certainly a minefield I'd rather tell people to avoid. Especially when you don't even have to stick to a single slot card in these systems... at least the 50 and 70 class Optiplex SFF.

[@patrickmiskell1301]

Your videos are great @TheGameBench, and this comment is spot on.

[@DarrenLer]

You can eliminate the thermal throttling by controlling the fan speed manually by running the fan on 100% speed and removing the lid and that plastic cover.

I regularly scout the e-waste bin at my work. My current rig is a i7 9700 that was pulled from the trash. Also found an HP workstation Zbook with 64gb ram. If you work at a factory, just ask.

[@JekyllNVibes]

WX 4100 is a great little card for builds like this if you don't mind working around the 4 mini display ports and nothing else. They're a bit less powerful than the 6400, but more powerful than a gt 1030, and you can get one used with a low profile bracket for around $50. Really good for a capable but low end system.

Even if nothing else was salvageable, I would be super happy to get a free high end CPU like that one.

[@v3ll13ty]

I was peeping the internals and noticed that the top PCI-E slot was shorter, which yeah means less lanes and a bit of a performance drop, BUT it had a cut in it meaning it could probably take in a longer tongue. Meaning your gpu options could possibly fight that lane cut since you'd be able to do double slot LP GPUs. Maybe, though. Not entirely sure.

[@leontechtalks]

Definitely try to go for a mid tower used pc if you can find it. The limitations on sff builds really kill any performance per dollar. If you can manage to find a 6th gen or later i7, you can pair it with a rx 5700xt for around 150 bucks, the same cost as the 6400.

Looking at this performance wise, it might be better to get an Arc A310 and A380 for cheaper. Those 2 cards are right around 100$/130$ and perform much better than the RX6400 and have AV1 Encoding which the 6400 doesn't even have one. The A380 doesn't get limited by the pcie gen 3 lanes, just activate rebar and boom you're good to go. But either way good video Zach.
