Found your videos while searching for the Optiplex 3020 SFF and I've done a similar upgrade from an i3 4170 to Xeon E3-1240v3 myself on my older pc. And wow was it a huge jump. Xeon cost me roughly about $40 USD, but still better than the 4th gen i7s that cost around $100. Funny thing is that I'm searching for a barebomes Opiplex 3020 SFF to put my i3 4170 in so I can still use it as a backup PC. Though I'm still split on whether to get an Optiplex 3020 SFF (no processor, ram, storage) or to get more parts to complete enough to build a PC from my spare parts (i3 4170, 240gb SSD, 600w PSU).

Do you think it would be worth replacing an i5-3550? The online test results only show 3-5% increase in performance. Didn't think that was worth 20 bucks. Am i wrong??

please can you tell me if you had to upgrade bios i have hp prodesk 490 g2 mt pc with i3 4330 will i have problems with bios last update 10/2014 i tried to upgrade bios but i cant so will i have problems if put that processor in?

I got a 7010 with a xeon 1275v2 and a gtx 1070 and it runs games flawlessly

Fps in warzone 2.0?

Since you added a Xeon CPU, do you have to add an ECC memory? I plan on doing this to my dell 3020 sff to replace the 4790S for a lower wattage for the Haswell-based Xeon E3-1286L V3 is with 65W, hopefully it will run on that system. I only have a Crucial drr3 1600 NON ECC memory though.

I've got this Optiplex 3020 sff with 8 GB DDR3 1600. Do you know if it's necessary to buy only Crucial modules? I'm interested to upgrade mine to 16 GB.

u prob figured it out by now but he's using Microsoft RDP not VNC but basically VNC you can see at 6:24. RDP is actually pretty good even if you're on Linux or Mac. I just use gnome-connections on Linux to connect to headless Win boxes.

Work an e3 1271?

I'm very much a newbie here, so maybe I'm missing the obvious. I have the dell optiplex 3020 sff and purchased an Intel Xeon E3-1241V3. I installed it with new thermal paste, but I get no display after install. I tried re-seating it, but no luck. I have the lastest A20 Bios installed. I put back original i3 CPU and system boots up. What am I missing? I don't have a video card installed.

The Xeon doesn’t have integrated graphics so u will need a dedicated display card. The i3 comes with intel integrated that’s why it displays

You could get a 1050ti low profile or a gtx 1650 possibly. Make sure whatever CPU you have wont bottleneck the card though.

Maybe you should upgrade the graphic card too. The performance of Quadro 410 is even worse than integrated HD 4400 of i3-4160.

Hello friend, you should enable hyper-threading in your BIOS. Dell BIOS don't typically enable hyper-threading by default. In your BIOS go to 'performance' then "Hyper-threading Control' then chose 'Enabled". Windows will then able to see 8 logical cores.
