Dell Optiplex 780 MT CPU Upgrade & radiator

Hello

I have a Dell Optiplex 780 MT Pentium Dual Core E5400 2.70 ghz I would put a quad Q9550 CPU in. The radiator of origin will be adequate for the new Q9550?

I know my 755 he had a nice copper radiator which had no problem with the same upgrade, but not sure about the 780 MT

I improved my 780 for the Q9550 and installed the RADIATOR SHROUD J9761 D9729 when I put in the new processor.  When I do just normal commercial use of the computer, the 4 cores (reported by SpeedFan) run between 28-35 ° C, and when the machine is under heavy load with PlayOn transcoding/streaming, time edge up to 48 - 52C.

Was able to buy a NEW heatsink of heat/fairing with unused thermal compound patch $ 15 worth of Red Planet trading on eBay.  Quite happy with this configuration!

  • Dell Optiplex 780 memory update does not

    1. I have purchase Dell Optiplex 780 supplied with memory DDR3 8 GB (4x2Go). I wanted to update so I bought 4 GB RAM (4x1Go) and tried to install it today. The diagnostic lights Dell on 3 and 4, which means that the memory is detected, but at fault. Now, I doubt that this new module of memory are defective. Here's what I did to solve problems:

      I took the original strips and installed a new. There are 4 DIMM and I tried to put it in all the 4 connectors DIMM one, but my PC will not start and shows the Dell diagnostic lights lit 3 and 4. then I put my original RAMS but still the same problem has happened that I also tried the two Rams Original one by one in all the slots but same question :(

      I also tried without installed memory but still Dell lights lit diagnostic 3 and 4 and no beep heard.

      Can someone help me what is the problem real?

    Hi Danish_smartpk,

    Welcome to the Dell Community Forum.

    If the 3 and 4 diagnostic lights are lit, it is code modules of memory detected, but a memory failure that occurred. You also mentioned that there is not only no beeps no heard when no memory is installed. When no memory is detected by the system, it emits beep codes indicating the same.  If the motherboard is not beep when no memory is installed, it could indicate failure systemboard.

    It is generally recommended that the BIOS updated before the new memory being installed. In addition, your computer supports a maximum of 8 GB of RAM DDR3 SDRAM (memory non - ECC only). If it already came with 8 GB of memory, it would not take an additional upgrade.

  • Add the second hard drive in the Dell Optiplex 780 SFF

    Hello

    I have dell Optiplex 780 SFF (Small Form Factor) PC. It has 3 options of SATA. I want to add 2nd hard drive in it, but I see no power for 2 hard drive cable.

    At the present time, I have a SATA Hard Drive and a SATA Super Combo. But the power cable from the SATA Super combo is very unique, I can not able to give the power of this cable to my 2nd hard drive.

    Is it possible to add 2 hard disk in the PC case?

    Best regards

    Dani

    Hi Dani,

    The SFF is using a drive slim lens that does not have a standard SATA power connection. You will need to buy an adapter or a SATA power cable splitter to power a second hard drive.

    Now, I am looking for the best compatible graphics card, I saw in another post that the Sapphire HD 7750 Low Profile fits, but is there something better than that, that fits and is not low profile?

    First, ask yourself "is there something better than that, which corresponds to and is not low profile?  No, because there ONLY cards that will fit must be small footprint!

    Second, 7750 HD cards are often recommended as a good choice for the Dells - unique slot and low power requirements.  I am running a 7750 HD in my own 780 MT, having chosen as the best choice for fit and performance.  That said, your power supply of the SFF is only 235W, which is very marginal.  I've seen reports of others by means of this type of card in a 780 SFF, but you should make sure, that it is not overtax the power, depending on what you have in your computer.

  • Dell Optiplex 755 USFF E8400 upgrade?

    Greetings!

    I have a Dell Optiplex USFF 755 I want to upgrade. According to some techspecs I found on the Dell site, this particular flavor of 755 can support up to an E6850 (65nm). I would use the E8400 Wolfdale (his ' 45nm counterpart with the same clock and fsb, but more cache) because in my opinion, it will also run more fresh in the lower limits of the ULTRA-COMPACT housing. Although not officially supported on the techspec list I found, I see that on the Site of Financial Services Dell and Dell's auction Site this same configuration is available in several units with installed E8400. Can I take this as a confirmation that it would be OK to upgrade to the E8400 to the Opti 755 USFF? Thank you!

    PS I have the E8400 in another mobo is not a question of which get only on the question of whether I can use the E8400 in the 755 USFF. If I can't use the E8400 so I'll just keep the current cpu in place, but I really want to upgrade by using the E8400 if possible. The mobo currently has Bios of the A11.

    The E8400 is supported by the chipset Q35 on the 755, which isn't always enough alone to make it work, but with the facts that 1) the E8400 was launched about 6 months after the processors on Teleworkers 'supported' list, and probably after this doc has been published, and 2) systems are set up there with this CPU would lead me to say that the E8400 will work in the 755.

    www.Dell.com/.../opti_755_techspecs.pdf

    The latest version of BIOS is A21, and while none of A12 - A21 mention anything about CPU support... If you have any problems, it would be the first thing to look at, as undocumented support was added.

    Hi Muhammad Danish,

    Windows 8 compatible drivers for OptiPlex 780 are not available on the Dell support Web site.

    Have you tried to check for drivers on the video card manufacturer's website? Based on the file name of drivers you mentioned, I think that your computer is the AMD Radeon HD 3470 graphics card.

    Try to install more software Catalyst from the following link: http://dell.to/16zWqy5

  • 2nd disk on Dell OptiPlex 780 Mini-Tower

    I want to install a 2nd SATA Seagate 148 gb SATA HDD on my OptiPlex 780 minitower. The drive is physically mounted in the machine and the power cable that extends from the disk HARD existing fits perfectly in place. I had to go buy a 18 "SATA 7 pin data Cable available from the drive to the motherboard.

    Looks like there are two SATA containers-by-side in the middle section of the motherboard. A feed beige plastic and the other in black.

    Does make a difference that the one that I use?

    Is there another container, should I use instead of these?  Locate where?

    After hanging hardware, what I need to do to get the machine to recognize the new HARD drive when booting?

    Thank you

    The colors are to let you know which port is 0 then 1 then 2, then 3, etc. White port is #3 the orange cable goes from the optical drive sata 1 connector blue is the boot disk which is SATA 0. After connecting the power supply and data, you go into BIOS Setup and turn on SATA2.

  • Dell Optiplex 780 does not start.

    Well, I went on my PC, and then when I tried to start it it flickered a clear amber with 1 and 3 illuminated lights and nothing show. Also, when I opened it up to look, there was a solid orange light the plugin power on the motherboard. I've read this and I heard it was a power supply problem and many people fixed it by replacing the power supply. On the other hand, some people replaced the power supply and it did nothing, and they discovered it was a motherboard problem. I want to know if I should just go out and get a PSU or wait the support to understand since my PC is still under warranty.

  • Dell optiplex 990 SSF video / graphics upgrade

    I have a dell optiplex 990 ssf with a processor i5, 4 GB ram and 240w psu, my aunt made me for the school this year.  It is perfect to write the Lord's prayer and surf, but I also like to play video games.  I'm sure that the integrated graphics card is not much for games.   As I searched the forums here, I came across a factor of this card as mother to a 25w to the potential limiting pci-e slot limit.  This motherboard has only 2 16 x slots pci-e size and nothing more.  The documentation is clearly what motherboards of the 990 series optiplex has this limitation and that integrated video system is included.  Could you please help me as to what video cards I can use in this testbed?

    Currently my 2 considerations are:

    Radeon HD 6670 1 GB GDDR5 128 bit PCI Express 2.1 x 16 HDCP Ready Low Profile

    or

    Radeon HD 7750 1 GB GDDR5 128 bit PCI Express 3.0 x 16 HDCP Ready

    Both are low-power and low footprint.

    I'm not on overclocking anything just to use this system for the games moderate occasionally.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hi, personally, I have a Dell Optiplex SFF 990, the upgrade you are looking for is the Sapphire 7750 Single Slot low-profile. It performs much better and draws less power (7750 55W 6670 TDP 68W TDP) compared to the 6670.

    Beachmark 6670 and 7750 - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-7770-7750-benchmark, 3135.html

    To add on, there is another additional advantage to free other 16 X (4-Wired) expansion card 1 X Pcie 4 Port Usb 3.0 PCIe slot.

    All the less is the configuration that I use and it's perfect for my use.

    I hope that helps!

  • New RAM PC3-8500 does not not in Optiplex 780 SFF

    I just bought a pair of 4 GB sticks (F3-8500CL7D-8GBRL) for my Dell Optiplex 780 SFF.

    The manual says it uses DD3-1066, up to 16 GB of 4 connectors.

    During installation and when fired upwards, there is only a sound signal and the diagnostic Dell 1 & 3 lights that indicate: "memory modules are detected, but memory configuration or compatibility error has occurred"
    I tried each module individually in each of the 4 slots (so 8 tries), then the pair 1-3 and 2-4 (more than 2 tests).  No joy.
    When I go back to the original PC3-10600 memory (1 GB + 2 GB) everything works fine.
    I'm on the last BIOS A15. Everyone sees why this RAM will not be happy about this MB...?

    In fact, I managed to add 8 GB to stock / 3GB, so I'm humming 11FR now. The memory that has worked has been Crucial CT2367692. I had to return the other stuff NewEgg taking a shipping and restocking fees kick.

    Lesson learned... I'm always going to Crucial now... obviously, you tell them what machine you have, they guarantee what will work the RAM.
