Help with Optiplex 9010 SFF PSU.

CalebTheCourageous

I recently purchased a Dell Optiplex 9010 SFF off of facebook marketplace. I was planning to put a gtx 1050 Ti low-profile in it and do some light gaming. I failed to realize however that it only has a 240w PSU which means it can't supply enough power to the 75w gtx 1050 Ti. Is there a 300w+ PSU that I could get to put in this PC?

You can just buy a cheap ATX case and a decent 400w+ power supply. I doubt there's going to be anything compatible with that.

I thought about doing that but all the front panel connectors, audio, USB, etc. are proprietary.

Are you sure? As long as the power button pins are next to eachother you'll be able to use a standard one.

 

edit: oh weird they are very proprietary

Actually I can verify that it will work just fine with the 240w stock PSU, I have a Optiplex with a i7 3770 at work and been running a low profile MSI 1050 Ti for a couple years now.

Really? hmm very interesting. Which optiplex do you have?

Think it's the same model but not at work right now, gray front panel with 4x USB next to the audio jacks under the slim ODD.  But basically the SFF with a i7 3770 and a 240 watt PSU.  The 1050 Ti is only powered by the PCI-e slot and it's a 90 watt CPU so the whole system only draws around 200 watts.

even under 200w psu will run taht 1050 ti low prfoile fine since the rest of the system uses much under 100w anyway.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)
