How many memory slots does it have?
4
Thanks.
can you tell me if it plays 4k/1080p h265 10bit smoothly?
No.
For CPU only requirements, are for Kaby Lake or newer.
Though you can slap in a half height NVIDIA 1050 and you'll be fine, as that supports it.
Example GPU for $179 at MWave:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w45ZOcXXzsDo you reckon these optiplex and other SFF machines can take the new 1650ti low profile??
@Homr: I'd strongly suggest doing your own research, and check the exact dimension of the LP 16050Ti.
Common incompatibility issues:
- GPU card is too long and doesn't fit
- GPU card is too thick, and the cover or fan gets in the way of other components.@Homr: I wasn't even awake of the 1650ti low profile GPU, that is interesting. It would really depend on the size of that card, as mentioned by Jiv.
If you only want to decode video, you can use an NVidia GT 1030 and save $60 vs the cost of a 1050
Where is the extra bay?
Thanks for commenting on the noise - I'm planning on using it as a media PC. From reviews it seems like Dell has much less noise than HP.
Can you fit a gpu in? rx580 or gtx1060 perhaps?
No. May support Low-Profile (LP) graphics cards, like a GTX1050Ti, though.
rx580 or gtx1060 perhaps?
Only low profile video card up to RX 550 or GTX 1050 Ti will fit.
Can you fit a gpu in?
OptiPlex 9020 has a PCIe x16 next to the PSU, and it can only fit a single slot video card. If you have a dual slot video card, you can only put it on the PCIe x4 slot. You're better get the HP EliteDesk 800 G1 which can take dual slot video card on PCIe x16 slot, for the same price.
I had an hp elitedesk 800 g1. It blew up on me after 6 months. 4 red led beeping sounds of death. Replacement power supply didn't fix it. Must be the mb. $60 for a second hand mbto fix it, for it to maybe blow up again after 6 months…no thanks. So I got a techfast system from ebay. Hopefully it will last me for a few years
OptiPlex 9020 has a PCIe x16 next to the PSU, and it can only fit a single slot video card.
Do I remember correctly that the previous model, the 9010, does allow a dual slot video card?
I wonder why the swapped the slots for the 9020?
There is a made-for-china 1050 Ti that is both low profile AND single slot; It is made by Aetina, and called the "M4-P107mDP".
Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated.
If you don't mind open the case maybe you can use one of those rise cards or adapters. https://www.pccasegear.com/products/38562?PPC=Y&gclsrc=aw.ds…
Hi,
I have a Optiplex 9020, looks the same as this one, but with an i7 4770 CPU, running a gtx 1050. This one to be exact:
https://www.gigabyte.com/au/Graphics-Card/GV-N1050OC-2GL#kfUsing it as a media PC to play 4k content via HDMI to my TV, with 2x SSD drives (had to buy sata power splitter cable for $2 off ebay for the second hdd)
Never had any power or over heating issues (QLD sunshine coast ambient temp). This one will probably generate a little less heat with an i5 CPU vs my i7 CPU
I have the same CPU as you. How hot does your i7 get under full gaming load?? Mine goes up to 90 degrees
Couldn't tell you as I don't do any gaming on it, just use it for streaming. Also don't have temp monitoring software installed.
running a gtx 1050. This one to be exact:
That is a dual-slot, so will not fit 9020 SFF, I believe.
You must have a 9010 model? Or larger "desktop" case? (looks similar)It fits, and I definitely have the same size model.
Look at the rear panel in the ebay listing. It has 2 low profile slots on the back, just like mine.
Its a tight fit. Heres mine: https://i.imgur.com/qlR07Ol.jpg
@bargaino: Ohhh right, I see the confusion.
Yes, the card is in the short / 4x PCI-E slot. The back of the short one is open on these boards, so they can fit full size cards.
They will fit a low profile card. But note that the power supply is not rated for high power devices and may cause a failure in the future. Maybe…
Also power supply replacement can be expensive.
More annoying than expensive… Not worth replacing. Just need to buy a new system
Im running gigabyte 1050TI low profile on this, no issues with psu.
Maybe I was just unlucky.
This one is a slightly better price ($233) and comes with Windows 10 Pro…
How hot do these i5 run?
I got the i7 4770 and it reaches 90 degrees while gaming…..
Your CPU should definitely not be running that hot. I have an i7-930 (1st gen 45nm tech vs your 4th gen 22nm tech) which has a TDP of 130W compared to your 85W. It used to run very hot, so I wiped and reapplied the thermal paste and it fixed it to within normal limits (70degrees). You probably want to do the same.
what is your cooler though? I'm using the stock cooler
Stock too.
Given its age have you considered re thermal pasting it up?
I bought a 9020 a few weeks ago,
didn't do extensive testing but after a minute of prime95 it hit 80/90C (can't remember sorry, it ran hot) but it maxed out the fan and also throttled the i5's boost back to 3.2GHz.I thermal pasted it 1 yr ago, I probably didn't do a very good job since it was my first time doing it.
and you're not meant to use Prime95 on haswell chips
Thanks for letting me know! I googled it and yeah looks like it.
I have an older 790 sff optiplex, and the heatsink seems way bigger than the 9020, but I haven't done proper testing or anything
This one has slightly better spec: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HP-ProDesk-600-G1-SFF-Intel-Core…
Also you can just make offer to get at least $20 off. No code required
Do you know how many HDD's this will take, and does it have a PCIe x16 slot for a discrete GPU ?
U need to ask the seller or pm meb when it arrive tomorrow or thursday i will let you know
It can fit 2HDD and 1 SSD and DVDR. The mobo only has 3 sata ports though so you need to remove the DVD rom in order to run the 3 HDD
Can someone enlighten me on a suitable set of RAM that is compatible? I know these machines are very picky with ram but im happy to buy brand new if i know what to look for. Thanks.
really simply DDR3 ram. 10600 or 12800. They aren't that picky. For the sake of keeping them the same, buy identical ones to the ones that come with the pc when you buy it
Pretty much. Just buy a 8gb stick and put it in. You can run dual channel using the stock 2x 4gb + 1x 8gb.
i have 32gb ddr3 in mine
Thanks guys. I've tried reusing old sticks from different optiplex machines without luck even though the specs are the same so it's possbly due to the difference in brands.
Nup, brands of ram shouldn't matter.
It can be a great pfsense box but it will definitely be an overkill - they can do a lot more advanced stuff than home router :-)
Or you can use vSphere to run multiple OS.
Drivers will be an issue for vSphere most likely. I couldn't find NIC drivers for consumer hardware when I was setting up a bare metal hypervisor.
I got one. 32gb ram, intel dual NIC $25 on eBay.
running proxmox. onboard NIC = maintenance NIC for proxmox
dual intel nic is LAN and WAN port, goes into an 8 port tplink smart switch that does vlans. running opnsense. overkill sure but i can spin up as many vm's as i want also
Whats everyone using these for? Plex servers?
Makes for a plenty good office PC, or with a low power gpu, a light gaming rig. Or yeah, as an HTPC too.
I'd recommend the USFF for a plex server. I use one of these with two drives and it's a perfect solution
Any reason in particular? Also, can I pick up? I live down the road. Also Also, how long is the sale for? Cheers
It's just the form factor, if you don't need any major expansion than it's a good solution for a plex box.
Sorry we don't offer local pick up, promo is run by eBay so it can end anytime.
I transplanted cpu/mb into another case and run openmediavault with a PCI 4 port sata card for raid.
So alongside being a great NAS it is also now running Plex, Sonarr+Radarr+Lidarr+Jackett, Nextcloud and also a pihole ad blocker.
When transplanting, you need to get a couple of adapters. A power supply adapter converts a standard atx power supply and the fan adapter means you can replace the fans/cpu cooler. Both are on ebay for a few bucks.
Otherwise everything else fits and works in an atx case.
I bought a 2ndhand Surface Pro 3 (i5 4200U 8GB 256GB) with broken screen on eBay for $60 and mounted behind a monitor as a compact PC
I know it's lower cpu power but for the price different and size I think it's a very good idea :pThats brilliant!!!! How did you find that bargain lol
keep an eye on ebay auctions. SP3 with broken screen is pretty cheap atm usually under $100 including shipping
the worse the external condition the cheaper it'd go obviously
mine was advertised as 128GB but it came in as 256GB lol
You might want a bidding tool to make winning easier and cheaper (I use GIXEN)
You'll need some patient and research to know the prices and specs of the tablet, some is only i3 and some is i7Good thing with this things they are AIO, with speakers, wifi, bluetooth, cameras, mic and even battery in case of power outage lol
One like this is a good start https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/333185014433
slightly lower spec but you might need to remove the display because of Phantom Touches
This one comes with charger. Mine didn't, had to pay extra $20 for onedoes it work well?
@spuderump: Works well enough for me, web browsing, YouTube 4k,Netflix no problem. I'll try fusion 360 and cura later will see how that works.
How do you search for chpest broken screen ? And what do you use to mount it?
What other similar tablets should I get if the surface pro 3 is not available?
There could be many choices, if you come across any laptops, Windows based tablets, even macbooks with broken screens or bad physical condition with a functioning system that could lower the sale price.
Of course you'll have to look at the hardware (CPU, RAM, HDD etc) that's enough for your need, keep in mind that laptop CPUs are designed for low power usage compare to a desktop CPU. Some laptops use full size cpu but cooling will still be limited
There's always a risk that there could be other hardware issues so do this at your own riskHere's the original listing that I won from fyi. not sure if you can still view it.
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/183773501871
I got this one https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HP-Z230-Workstation-i5-4690-3-50… last night for $230 and its a got a 4690 in it, it doesn't have hdmi or ssd but I've got a 1050ti and 240gb ssd to chuck in when it arrives.
I'd like to mount my Optiplex 9020 SFF under a table. Has anyone encountered a suitable set of brackets or similar to fit it?
hi everyone, very newbie here in term of tech…
can anyone kindly advise me if the spec of this unit enough for me to run adobe photoshop and lightroom?
had read comments above, and the more i read, the confused i am especially on the video cards and the space profile.
i assume i should have a reliable video card in order to run adobe applications ?also, from my research i still need some WIFI card, video card, and extra ram, which i need to install, am i right?
can this run fortnite? I have an old monitor so my son can use it instead of taking over the TV.
Not by itself, you'll need to get 1050ti low profile or wait for the 1650ti
Would this be good as a cheap audio workstation to run Cubase and VSTs etc.. With an external audio device… Also can you add firewire as I have an old audio device on FW.
Not for a pro, just for messing about with producing music.
Thanks
Probably a stupid question, but as this doesn't have a HDMI port, would a Display Port to HDMI adapter work to use it as a HTPC to plug into the TV? Or would I need a graphics card?
Will this play fornite smoothly?
Probably not. I think you'd need to buy a graphics card. A gt 1030 should get it running smoothly.
Cheers
Does this Optiplex fit the GTX1050Ti from the link below:
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/455648
Looking to use it as a HTPC, thanks!Do these come with a wireless card or is it ethernet only?
Ethernet only but you can but a wifi USB dongle for about $20 that does the trick.
I picked up one of these exact spec on gumtree. Very fast with i5 and ssd. Includes a drive bay for another drive too. Form factor is ideal and next to no fan noise. Not a bad price for what you get at all
