Optiplex with a Ryzen Chip - Any Good?

[@Woodwerker]

Emulation video please! Thanks much! Never knew this pc ever existed... interesting.

[@SeeJayPlayGames]

nice deal for $95!

[@RedSemen420]

woah m8, for under 100 dollars this is great! i would use it as a secondary pc to play older games.

[@mak.hani88]

I love dell optiplexes, im using since the pentium 1 in year 99, core2duo in 2010 and now i5

[@dozer4981]

Great viedo!! I've been flipping pc's as a side hustle and have been super surprised just how well these old systems can perform and how well the sell,

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

This is quite similar to the current PC I have, except for it being a Ryzen 1600AF, half the RAM and a 1TB NVME.

[@ZekeLawl]

I think it’d be cool for you to check out the single slot low profile Arc A310 from Sparkle. Only thing is it requires resizable bar so not for an older optiplex but maybe a newer (ish) one.

[@FroggyTWrite]

great find and cool video! looks like that video card either needs new thermal paste or a custom fan curve

[@SoundManStudios]

Great video loved it. Keep it up man.

[@pharmdiddy5120]

Neat!! One of these days I'm going to get one of those and try a CPU upgrade. Got to wonder if the am4 dynasty extends to proprietary motherboards like those. Also makes you wonder what an A380 would do in there. Of course you'd have to swap out an a310 cooler

[@mattdudley3789]

It will work with 1st gen Ryzen PRO.. It can support a Ryzen 1700 PRO, while still being slower than an I5 8500

[@Karti200]

amazing deal - i checked the PCIe configuration both slots are Gen3: x4 is wired as x4 x16 is wired as x8 no true x16 connection so... you actually could get an GTX 1650 onto the x4 slot and have really great small pc for gaming. RX 6400 is to be skipped duo Gen4 x4 so here you will lose performance A380 could be used ONLY if you get one with single slot configuration (because it is Gen4 x8 and not x4 so on Gen3 x8 you are not loosing any performance)

[@basicdadtech]

When ever I look for the GTX 1650 low profile it's overpriced. Lowest price I've seen is $180. Might as well get the RTX 3050 low profile at that point. If the 1650 as $100 I'd pick it up.

[@Karti200]

@@basicdadtech i... i totally forgot that we finally got 3050 low profile dx

[@Xalgucennia]

What you ought to do is upgrade it to a 3600g/5600g and forget about having discrete given you don't have a full 16x PCIE anyway, you need to upgrade the CPU anyway as you can't run windows 11 and will need to after the windows 10 end of service next year @@basicdadtech

[@Voidsworn]

These are stuck with Ryzen 1000 series CPUs and Ryzen 2200g/2400g.

[@chocwah]

That build deserves more gpu power, Like a low profile RX 6400 4GB or a GTX 1630?

[@Fernando-Rodriguez]

this can perform really well as an emulation PC

[@Black10710]

crazy deal, i'd buy instantly

[@jeus2884]

That was a good deal for you it looks like I put together a very similar system but the parts were a lot more expensive and I had to buy the video card up at micro center for a low profile case they sold me a low profile card I said specifically had to be a special form factor within 58 mm they verified and well then I got stuck with a $220 card paying for it being able to fit my case when the card was only $70 card for the regular one looks like whatever action you got that at is the one where we should all be shopping at😊

[@mattdudley3789]

The problem with those is the 1st gen Ryzens are a bit slower than Intel of their time. An I3 8300 in a 3060 would be faster and more upgradable. The RX 550 isn’t that great. I have a Dell one. I found success with bios modding it. You can get some better performance.The real gems are the WX 4100 which is equal to a RX560 for not a lot more money.

[@mattdudley3789]

The WX4100 looses a little due to being a pro card but it’s technically an RX460 1024SP or more commonly a 560. I would agree that a real 560 is faster but we’re talking low profile single slot machines and that changes the playing field

[@thomaswood8167]

I would expect it to have a proprietary B350 motherboard, so trying to flash any sort of BIOS update is out of the question

[@donaldnemesis393]

$95 for the pc that comes with the powerful ryzen 7 1700, rx 550, 16gb ram and 500gb Nvme ssd, and there's the pcie (although x4) slot that let you fits rtx 3050 6gb and even RTX a2000, it sounds too good to be true

[@basicdadtech]

I got lucky. I think most people aren't looking for Optiplex's with Ryzen chips.

[@napowolf]

1:48 Except it is a Samsung OEM drive lol. It says PM991 on the label.

[@basicdadtech]

LOL D’oh. My eyesight is getting bad.

[@Micromation]

I wonder what's the highest CPU it would support on swap and if it would be possible to mount some 3rd party coolers. Even with 3600X that would be miles ahead of that 1600 and they go for around 60...

[@beegonee]

Max @ ry 2400g...thats it.

[@szulcykcsm8473]

this gpu is so close to psu and gpu fan has so little empty space.. is this rx550 overheating? what temperatures did he got? sorry for my English 🙈

How to increase vram dell optiplex 5pro 2400g

[@BroniranEnotBG]

GPU temp is very hight i think / around 85C/. Can you change the thermal paste please and clean the fans?

[@Arsal-Dasti]

Temperature 📈

[@julianbarron5293]

Throw a better low profile gpu in and see if that first gen Ryzen can stretch its legs!

[@মিডিয়া-ন৪য]

Please help me to buy same like it. Share me the website link from where you brought it.Thanks

[@oscarfiala2104]

That looked like Minecraft Bedrock. You need to test both Java and Bedrock.

[@blaize5436]

give us the emulation video!!!

[@SamsuriAW]

Does is have a built in wifi?

[@mustasheolll2020]

Rare find

[@ELBANANO97]

how did you boot os into it those usually come with no OS

[@basicdadtech]

I had to install Windows 10 myself.

[@dimeandbiggie353]

Hmmm would u say thus is better than the elitedesk 705 g4?? 🤔😏

[@basicdadtech]

The one with the Ryzen 5 PRO 2400G?
