Often it's not hardware that the issue. It's in-built obsolescence via software. Case in point, until a few months ago I was running a Dell e6410 latitude. Which is a 1st gen laptop with a "massive" maxed out memory of 8 gig. Ran a Linux distro on it. Worked like a charm - so good in fact, I used it for audio production work. Did that for over five years with this thing.

Completely agree. That’s a major reason I make these videos. Every time we toss out an old computer or device, we're damaging our environment for future generations. My hope is that more and more people can get comfortable with upgrading or repurposing old computers by following along with my videos, and together we can make a positive impact.

I had a low profile Yeston RX560 that did okay in the 3020 SFF that I have, but eventually went with the RX 6400 myself. When I got it, it was supposed to have an i5 4570, but actually came with a 4670. It does make for a decent entry level Gaming PC, especially with 16Gb of memory and the 6400 installed. Good video.

@growfishgrow I’ve been finding really good deals on eBay on Optiplex’s with 6th gen processors

Great video. These units using 4th gen intel CPUs can often be upgraded to a locked 4c/8t Xeon. Nearly all the "haswell" generation desktop chipsets "B" "H" and "Z" all supported the E3 v3 CPUs. I have used a Xeon e3 1271 v3 in a haswell generation optiplex before and they run VERY well. Why Xeon? Well I could often get them for less then their 4770 and 4790 i7 family members. The top few 4c/8t Xeons match performance of the i7s. The only downside? No integrated graphics. But that is what the RX6400 is for ^_^

the PCI-e slot is not a 16x slot (but is 4x), in fact even if the length is correct, its color is dark and not white. For this reason, this fantastic RX 6400 video card got a vote from tree trunk!

What is the Maximum PSU I require with i7 3770 With RX 6400

I have an I7-4790 in my optiplex & just run the Integrated graphics from the chip into a 55" Sony Bravia TV.....good enough for surfing & media playing. The extra HEAT from a GPU would be detrimental in my opinion. I put 4 DDR3 sticks in mine totalling 20 gb. It stays below 50 degrees Celcius.

I just fixed one of these up for my neice. Picked up a sff optiplex with a ryzen 5 2400g in there for £100. Replaced the ram and threw in 16gb. Got this exact same graphics card. Had the same issue with the 16x slot being so close the PSU, was so happy when I discovered the 6400 range. Anyway, completely removed the harddrive caddy and just use the m2 ssd installed. Cut a tidy square out of the metal top cover where the cpu sits. Rubber bezelled the edges and fitted a magnetic dust sheet to increase airflow to the cpu. Kept the plastic airtunnel inside as it does keep thermals low not just for the CPU but the whole system. Overall happy with the build. Works out cheaper than buying something new and it was a fun project too. Gave it a pop before handing it over. Was perfect for a doomer like me. Games like osrs with hd plug ins, or world of warcraft. Perfect for it. I assume games like league of legends and minecraft also.

I've just completed this exact same build. This is my first experience with an AMD graphics card, and I have to say I'm not impressed. It may work well with a dedicated monitor, but I'm using this as a home theatre/gaming/emulation PC, connected to a HDTV, via the HDMI. Having adjusted for the overscan via the HDMI scaling setting of AMD's Adrenaline software, this keeps resetting every time I leave Steam or Kodi, shifting the screen out of position until I reboot. Very aggrivating! Also the HDMI audio keeps cutting out. Switching over to onboard Intel graphics card removes both these issues, with the overscan correction much more easily implemented in their software. Before you ask my TV is quite old, so can't correct for overscan itself. I also have the latest AMD drivers. So for now I continue to with display connection via the onboard Intel graphics, with the AMD 6400 configured just as a graphics processor in Windows. As I don't feel this is as effective, because the card isn't outputting directly to the display, I plan to now sell the card and buy an Nvidia card.

Wdym "ate" the gpu...

I threw a PowerColor RX 6400 card into my Dell OptiPlex 7070 SFF ( i5-8500 CPU, 500 GB Samsung NVMe SSD 980 PRO, 32GB RAM ). When putting the GPU to a max power test, it seemed as though the fan was quite noisy, just as it was stated in one Amazon review comment. However, the noise was actually the CPU fan blasting air out of the back of the computer. During this GPU test, the CPU was hovering around a mere 39C temperature. I assume that this double CPU fan feature is a built in DELL BIOS feature. There are no case fans in the DELL 7070 SFF version, and thus if a GPU gets hot, the CPU fan also then becomes an air blow out case fan, meaning a push fan. In my case, no pun intended, I also installed a case fan that is located at the front. It is tied to the CPU fan connector, via a fan splitter cable. It functions as the master fan (4 pin), and the CPU fan functions as the slave fan ( 3 pin. Sensor pin not connected. ). Long story, but this master-slave arrangement increases the CPU fan speed a bit, since the case fan that I use is a slower rpm fan than the CPU fan. Anyhow, most of the time when not gaming, the GPU fan is off due to the temp being less than 60C when watching Netflix or YT videos.

I’ve got a 7010 SFF and I’m interested in this thing because it’ll give me space for a WiFi / Bluetooth card and better space for cooling.

Unfortunately the better slot (16x) is in the wrong position closer to the power supply, but comparing pros and cons, even with the bottleneck you’ll get better performance from a double width card like the 1650 plugged into the 4x slot been a single width card like the RX 6400 plugged into the 16x slot. The cost difference is about $50ish, it will get better performance, and it will fit.

The first step is to check for any dust or debris in the heat sink and fan on the graphics card. Dust and debris could be causing the card to overheat. Use a can of compressed air to blow out any dust or debris, but make sure to immobilize the fan first to avoid damaging it. Next, check to see if the fan on the graphics card is operating smoothly. Look for any stuttering, starting and stopping, or other irregularities that may indicate a problem. If the card and fan appear to be in good working order, the issue may be related to a failing GPU, memory, or power supply. To test this, download a free utility like OCCT from OCBASE_COM, which can test both the GPU and power supply and help identify any issues. Before making any changes, such as updating or reinstalling drivers, it's important to check your Windows update history to see if a recent video driver update may be causing the problem. Windows updates have been known to cause issues with graphics drivers in the past.
