There's a tidbit that you might be aware of: Since that horrible Verge video of Stefan Etienne building his PC so wrong, if he were to come into my repair shop and ask me what's wrong with his rig, I'd point out a lot of items that were so improperly installed that it would take me no more than 44 minutes to fix. Why? Since April 2018, I am a fully certified CompTIA A+ and CompTIA Network+ technician. I could easily identify a lot of the components that were improperly installed inside the Corsair Crystal 280 case that it's an easy fix (It's a MicroATX case).

Whenever I disconnect portable media, a "USB attached Storage (UAS) SCSI" shows up on each and every virtual ejection of such portable media. I was like "SCSI... something tells me that it's an acronym of the Small Computer System Interface" and when I looked on Wikipedia for that acronym, it is Small Computer System Interface. Also, the exam is not that hard when one has some learning experience; one just needs to pass both parts of the A+ certification exam to be A+ certified for 3 years.

Hello Kenneth, hope you're good. I've been following this mini series and I've enjoyed it quite a bit. Glad you added one last video. I managed to get a 175mm gtx 1060 for my 3040 and it fitted very nicely. Next, I'm going to look into improving ventilation. It's a small case with just one 80mm exhaust fan, and I'm a little worried that might not be enough for stuff I might do in the future. How are your temps like?

Hi Isaac, I'm doing well in these trying time, thanks! Hope you are well too! I'm happy to hear that you've enjoyed the OptiFlex series. Also, I'm glad to hear you were able to fit a GTX 1060 inside of your 3040! Yes, the airflow in the case is quite terrible, actually. I do recommend adding a 92mm or 80mm in the front of the case, like I did. It helps with the temperatures tremendously. I'm not going to release my current temps with OptiFlex just yet. I have an update video coming on OptiFlex and I will cover temperatures at that time.

@WiltshireTutorials
@WiltshireTutorials Жыл бұрын
Thanks! It's down to preference, really. Also depends on ones budget. An angle grinder may be more expensive than a rotary tool, depending on what you go with. Some also may feel uncomfortable with an angle grinder too. I find I get a cleaner edge with the Dremel than I do with an angle grinder. However, it is a much slower process compared to the angle grinder. All in all, both work. Use what fits in your budget and what you're most comfortable with using.

I was looking at the XFX 5700 for $299.00 on sale right now or the RTX 2070 Super on sale for $499.00. Which one should I go with or do you think I should just wait for something new to come out?

But I was thinking on Upscaling to 1440P and trying to keep the same 100+ FPS I have now but I don’t know if its worth it because I heard all the Pro’s still prefer 1080P but I seen the XFX 5700 on sale for $299.00 so I might go for it. Also do you know if AMD is releasing a 5800 or 5900 anytime soon? Maby I should wait for one of those

Hey bro so I my i7-3770 is coming in the mail tomorrow . I’m currently rocking with an i5-3470 , GTX 1060 3GB and 12 gb RAM. The FPS I’m currently getting with my i5-3470 is very good but I figured it was time for an upgrade . Do you think the i7 will Boost my speeds overall ?

Wiltshire Tutorials i7-3770 non k CPU came in the other week . I truly never knew how useful “Hyperthreading” and “Turbo Boost” is. At first the PC wasn’t reading the 8 threads until I went into the BIOS and turned it on. Shits extremely fast overall now in all tasks and gaming FPS 😂. I did some research but couldn’t exactly find how far I can upgrade to , CPU wise . Do you know what’s the fastest cpu a Q77 Dell optiplex can upgrade to ?, or is the i7-3770 the most a Q77 motherboard can get ?

You might be beating a dead horse, but it's a dead horse people want to see beaten. Unfortunate metaphor notwithstanding, if we want to watch it why not keep going down that road? Also you should put taller feet on the bottom to improve clearance and airflow for the PSU.

I laughed way too hard at the way you worded that sentence lol! OptiFlex may be done. But, I have other projects in the works that I believe people will enjoy as well! More modding, painting, etc. is on the way! :D As for the bottom of the PC case. That is a good suggestion! I noticed too that the PC sits pretty low and it would be difficult for the PSU to get some good airflow. I've ordered rubber adhesive feet to put on the bottom to lift it up about an inch or so.

That's a decent list. The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is why are you going with a 3200G when you plan on buying a 5500XT or 2060? I'd go with 3300X or higher instead. A 750W PSU is also a little overkill for the build. You could get away with just using a 500W PSU. By doing so, you could save a bit of money on the PSU and buy other parts with it.
