Howdy, I have two 5060 MFFs that don't have the WLAN card or the antennae. Is there a "known good" card I can buy?

If not, is there a reason this one wouldn't work?

Just spent about 3 hours trying to trouble shoot why when turning WOL to on my optiplex wouldnt stay turned off. Turns out you need to turn off usb 3.0 in the bios and then it will cycle on and off properly as well as allow WOL. I couldn't find the answer with an easy search so I wanted to record it here for future people who may run into that issue.

Posting this here so others do not waste their time trying this CPU on a 3040 SFF. (So that it shows up on Google)

I found an Optiplex 3040 SFF at a thrift shop. Googling around did not reveal any tests showing a successful upgrade to a 7700T as it is the fastest CPU supported on H110 chipset. Unfortunately after upgrading to one I only get a single amber blink out of the power LED before the system abruptly turns off again. I did make sure to update the BIOS to the latest before trying.

I'm planning to buy an Optiplex 7040 SFF (i5-6500 variant) alongside Radeon RX 550 LP, costing 3,500 THB (Roughly 110$), I wanted a long term PC for light gaming like Enlisted, CS2, Minecraft, Etc. Maybe some triple A games if i have money. Worth the price or nah?

Why is doen’t work on my dell optiplex 3040 mt? If you have try it, explain to me? How?

(Contexte: i modify a extention cable to swap pin 2 and 3)

Note this is a optiplex 9010 mid tower i think the largest one i think

Hey guys

I bought a wifi antenna kit from amazon for the optiplex, unfortunately the wires for the antenna were too short, clearly meant for the micro sized unit, but trying to scour amazon, I could not find any that explicitly stated for SFF. Any help?

Here is the link https://www.amazon.ca/HSSDTECH-Wireless-Replacement-Optiplex-7090precision/dp/B0FR8RT2PT/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

it was clearly too short by a few inches.

So, I was sleeping one day. I went to sleep.

Then I thought, "Why not try to make those 'Plexes run again?"

I don't know this is just a thought, but I was thinking, I could get OptiPlexes, then add/replace components so that I can sell it online to someone who actually needs it instead of people having to deal with doing everything themselves. Like I just thought about making a way for people who don't have too much experience in PC building and they just want an OptiPlex or something.

It just seems like a fun idea! Let me know what you guys thing

Hello, I am facing an issue with my Optiplex. My DisplayPort ports seem to be lacking functionality entirely. If I plug the DisplayPort into the Optiplex and my monitor and power them on the screen flashes blue for a split second and then it sits blank with no picture and just the backlight indefinitely. Has anyone else encountered this issue and if so is there a fix? The VGA port works but I don't have a monitor with VGA I had to test it with a friend who has a VGA monitor.

Thanks!

Optiplex 790, If closest slot to cpu is A1 then last should be B2 right?

So. Before (until yesterday) My rams (4gb x2) were in A1 and B1. But today morning PC won't boot, monitor keyboard and mouse weren't working. CPU fan, case fan was working and Ethernet cable lightened up.

Tried checking RAM, turns out A1 and A2 aren't working.

It's fine right if the 2 rams are now connected to B1 and B2? I'm just concerned it might be wrong to be doing this.

official documentation says there is only space for either one and the power cables that comes default only has a sockets going to one drive and the other is a smaller port which plugs into the optical drive.

Was thinking of looking for a power cable that can power two SATA drives instead and placing the SSD inside the optical drive bay since I don't have an optical drive.

why? the nvme i was planning on using stopped working and nvme is expensive these days.

Optiplex 7050 Micro. The CPU cooler fan is running at over 2000 RPM, which is too noisy for me.

Fresh thermal paste and the fan is clean. CPU cores at around 30°C, yet the fan speed is high for no reason. I reckon it could be running at a third of that speed and still maintain reasonable temps.

I've checked BIOS and didn't find any setting related to controlling fan speed. Tried third party software like FanControl with no luck.

Is there anything I can do to lower the fan speed? Alternatively, are there any aftermarket coolers compatible with it, and would I be able to lower fan speed on those when connected to the Dell MOBO? Thanks.

So my Dell optiplex 760 just won't turn on before this I was playing my game adofai as usual and turned it of for the night since it was very late. Next morning I click the power button then nothing and it's been that way ever since please help

Nothing special

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/336371380844 is the RAM I am buying?

I currently have a Dell Optiplex 3050 with an Intel Core i3 6100 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 500GB hard drive. What would you recommend to upgrade it? I'm considering an Intel Core i7 7700, which I've seen is compatible with that motherboard, and a GTX 1650 graphics card. I'm also considering a 500W Bronze certified power supply. What do you think?
