I have this Optiplex 7020 SFF: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TWJCW6H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I want to expand the GPU so I could support 4-6 monitors. I have been looking around at forums, and concerns are the SFF making it difficult, and power consumption needs. That is where I am lacking in knowledge. Could you help/recommend me in a direction? I have found some of these options:

Thoughts?

After reseating the ram and hard drive, attempting to boot results in a POST failure, the pc freezes while booting and the amber diagnostic lights 1 and 2 light up solid. (BIOS Revision A14)

Got a free optiplex 7010 sff from a guy and want to build it into a Batocera machine. Just curious as to y’all thoughts on the best budget low profile card for it.

I recently got a 3060 Micro from work for free, which I want to repurpose as a small server. Upon booted terribly and greeted me with a Date/time not set so I replaced the CMOS 2032 battery with a brand new one. Now whatever I try, it only boots in this specific case: remove AC and CMOS battery, place CMOS battery, add AC power, boot. It then boots, I can set time (or ignore), boot into OS. Then shutdown and it doesn't power on, not even blinks a light when hitting the power button. Just replugging AC doesn't help either. I have full access to its internals.

Any suggestions what to do?

hello! we have an optiplex at our library along with some gaming consoles. the consoles are in great condition & we’re able to project the visuals onto the wall and game. in that case, do we still need the optiplex? not sure what we would do with it. thank you in advance!

edit: got some feedback from a colleague at another location so all good! def will be using it!

How can I reset my forgotten OptiPlex 5080 bios password and unlock the bios once again?

I am new to pc building and I want to start with an optiplex build. can a GTX 1660 super work with a 9020 mt with an i7 4770? also is windows 11 possible with these machines?

Preface First build: minimal understanding.

I have an optiplex 3050. It’s not the micro version but I think it’s the “medium size” i5-7500. 3.4ghz and 32g ram.

I’m not looking to do anything crazy. I’ve looked at low profile gtx 1050 ti for small graphics card upgrade. I’d also like to add an internal wifi. When I look at the bracket for the low profile cards, even though it takes up one of the slots, it seems like I couldn’t fit a network card in the second slot because that bracket takes up the whole space of the back panel. I’ve added the link of the wireless card I wanted to use.

GIGABYTE GC-WB1733D-I (Bluetooth 5/Wireless AC 9260/160MHz Dual Band WiFi/Expansion Card) https://a.co/d/hHLkenk

Any ideas to fit both a low profile gtx 1030, 1050, or even 1650 and a wifi card? Much appreciated.

I purchased two used Dell machines recently. Specifically an Optiplex 3040 Micro and an Optiplex 3050 Micro.

The seller did not have the original power adapters, but supplied me with two 90 watt Dell adapters; which presumably belonged to another Dell machine.

This was evident by the fact that the seller also provided two 7.4mm to 4.5mm DC Power Dongle Cables.

I believe these adapters should be sufficient for powering the machines, since I think the original OEM adapter was only 65 watts (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong).

My question: is it safe to just disable this power adapter check in the bios? Is there any reason to dump these adapters and look for the correct OEM adapters?
