OptiPlex GX620 - Pentium D 945 question

Okay, so I refurbish an OptiPlex GX620 and I did a lot research on a cheap bu effective video card, as well as a cheap processor replacement. Now, I know that the Pentium D 945 will work with the GX620. Is that what I'm trying to understand, if I had to add the video card and the Pentium D, 305 w power would agree to employment? I read online that the video card running on a 305 w power, but add a processor might be a bad idea. Could someone help me please?

I'm going with this video card: click here

I guess I will need to add a fan or something?

You do not need to add a fan, and you don't need a new power supply.

You do not need bios A11 BEFORE changing CPU.

http://downloads.Dell.com/BIOS/A11GX620.exe

Do not install the bios with anti-virus software upgrades.

If you can create a msdos boot disk and run it from there.

It works under windows Xp to windows 7 fine but I don't know about 8 or 10.

Both work well in GX620 mini lathe with power 305 w.

SL9QQ seems to be the max for a Dimension E510 / 5150

RAM is limited to EXACTLY 3.50 concerts

Adding more does nothing.

According to the specifications of the Intel

http://Intel.LY/R5SMbF

the GX620 chipset is limited to 4 GB.

Add more ram does not work regardless of the operating system or the 64-bit cpu.

  • OptiPlex GX620 Pentium D on stock radiator?

    Hello, I got an optiplex gx620 mini tour a few months ago, and it has a pentium 4 3.4 ghz ht. I want to upgrade the pentium d processor and I have the radiator in alluminum. I heard that you can not upgrade to pentium d 960, but you can upgrade to pentium d 805.y question is, can I make this update and get safe temperatures, and if I can, what thermal paste should I use? BTW, sorry if I made any mistakes of grammar, I'm from Romania.

    No I'm not saying that units not 130W will work but the fan has run more than copper because it is not cooling as efficiently.  Aka 95W processors work but the fan works a lot.  Faster than the 915 will say no support of processor on USFF and SFF and office units.  The Tower has no such limitation based on 305 w power vs 150 to 220W power supply

    Pentium D 800 series this will show to upgrade Windows 10.

    Pentium D 900 series of 915 to 960 work very well with the 8.1 and 10.

  • recommendation for old Optiplex GX620 graphics card

    I upgraded my OS to Win 7 Pro 32 bit on this computer, but the Windows experience index is estimated at 2.8 with aero off because of the graphics.

    Processor: Mark 3.9, memory rating 4.5, Aero graphics performance: score of 2.6, games graphics: Mark 3.4, HDD: score 5.8

    It's a mini-tower Optiplex GX620 about 5 years, used for backup and email and the internet for other PCs:

    Pentium 4, E6850, 3.0, 4MB, Core Duo-Conroe, HDD 320 GB, 3 GB of memory, 375w power supply, graphics card, 128 MB ATI Radeon X 600, integrated sound.

    I would like a recommendation on a graphics card inexpensive that this machine can handle without more work of the CPU. I have searched the forum but could not find recent info.

    Thank you.

    SAPPHIRE HD 5450 1 GB would work in a dell optiplex GX 620? Slim. also is it just plug and play?

    I doubt it is plug-and-play; to illustrate, a parent replaced a burnt on 6450 with a 8400GS and Windows installed default VGA driver and he left like that. The screen showed a large black border, and the resolution is suboptimal. Installing software appropriate to NVidia eliminated border and full resolution.

    I would say that the card will work, but you will need to install the driver (which isn't hard).

    I have a Sapphire 6570 installed in my GX620, with excellent results.

  • best upgrade processor for Dell Optiplex GX620

    Hello

    What is the fastest processor intel core 2, I can buy for my dell optiplex gx620?
    It has a pentium 4 2.8 ghz LGA775 socket

    I've heard of bieng capped at 800 mhz fsb and I was also wondering if I could buy a dell optiplex Board that supports intel core 2 processor or if there is a way to Flash the BIOS for this

    concerning

    Ash

    The GX620 does not support processors. The chipset could theoretically make some of the low end, but the bios should recognize the processor and then more or less allows dajuster the voltage supplied to the CPU motherboard.

    The best you can get is a Pentium D I think. The first Optiplex with main support was the 745 if my memory serves.

  • OptiPlex GX620 under Windows 7-64 bit

    We discuss to modernize our systems with Windows 7-64 bit. Some of them are OptiPlex GX620 with Pentium D processor. One of my colleageus began installing Windows 7-64 bit for some of them. So far, she said, she did not no problem. This system does support 64 bit OS?

    Thank you

    Litom

    Officially no, Dell has not listed this system for Windows Vista or Windows 7 compatibility, and as such, no driver is officially available directly on the drivers and downloads. He argues that official 32-bit and 64-bit of Windows XP. In other words, that it should be 64-bit compatible. I run Windows 7 upgrade advisor to make sure that he is capable of 64-bit.

    Unofficially, he will certainly work with the 32-bit and is highly likely to work with the 64 bit. Many of the system drivers are native to Windows 7 and/or may be levied on other Optiplex models. I installed the 32 bit version on a GX520 for example which is very similar. In your case I would like to install Windows 7 my instructions below without having to activate, this will give you a 30 day trial to see how it works before you lose all licenses. You know how it runs in a couple of hours however.

    An important note on the material, you have 4 GB of RAM in each system? If I do not recommend that upgrade you using crucial memory or install the 32-bit version of Windows 7, the upgrade of the RAM to 4 GB is recommended. See here for crucial memory, it says maximum 4 GB but says also 4 slots that can accommodate 2 GB each. Run the Crucial scan on one of your machines. If you buy RAM for several of these systems, it may be interesting stick 4 x 2 GB in one to see how much RAM it can attack with a 64 bit OS (you can remove the 4 GB of RAM after the test to put in another unit). See the service manual NOTE from the ADMIN: broken link has been removed from this post by Dell > for instructions in installation RAM, make sure that it is installed in pairs. I would say that it is not worth the price to get the 8 GB of RAM in each of your machines, but it would just be interesting to know as a note aside.

  • With the help of DELL Optiplex GX620 - installation of 6 GB of RAM

    I am running Ubuntu Linux (64-bit) and improved 4 GB to 6 GB of RAM. Currently, this is how my Optiplex GX620 rates, according to BIOSAgentPlus:

    BIOS type: Phoenix
    Date of the BIOS: October 13, 2005
    BIOS ID: OptiPlex GX620
    BIOS OEM: A05
    Chip set: Intel 2770 rev 2
    SuperIO: Unknown
    Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
    Motherboard: OptiPlex GX620

    If I understand correctly, A05 is capped at 4 GB, even if my OS 64 - bit, see if the BIOS allows. If I flash to A11, which removes the limitation of 4 GB, or I'm still stuck with it?

    Hi LinuxSupahFly,

    The support of memory depends on the chipset on the motherboard and the Intel 945 G Express Chipset supports only 4 GB of RAM. Update the BIOS to the latest version will not remove the limitation. For more information about the Intel 945 G Express Chipset memory controller chipset, please see the following link:

    Hello. I have a system Dell, Optiplex GX620 with Intel Pentium D Inside processor. Now I want to install Windows 7 on my system, but its pilots are difficult to find and download. Please tell me that from where I download its complete drivers.

    Visit the Dell web site, click support at the top of the page.  Select support for individuals, enter the number of service from your computer.  If there are no Windows 7 drivers, then you probably won't be able to upgrade your system to Windows 7 and to find all the drivers you need.

  • Problem installation Vista Business 32 Bit ISO on Optiplex GX620

    I asked to re - install a company ISO of Vista Business 32-bit specific on some Optiplex GX620s former.

    These are the only computers that we have. I tried every method of installation has failed to halfway through or simply does not work.

    I tried:

    • Bootable flash drive (this worked the first time but is end of installation even after formatting the disc flash several times). I have been using this method.
    • External DVD USB drive (BIOS is not recognize it as a boot device)
    • Installation on an Optiplex 755, then proceed to the exchange of hard disks. (This causes a restart loop when the hard drive on the GX620 loading, I'm guessing that following a conflict of driver. I can't use the CD we since none of the GX620s have installation DVD players)

    My question: is there another way to install this ISO I'm not aware of, or someone knows a way to solve one of the above mentioned conflicts?

    I know that is a lot to ask for these older machines, but our resources are overwhelmed, and our budget is not allowing us to buy new desktop computers at the present time.

    Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

    I would update your Windows 10130 then Windows 10 Pro machines to make them Windows 10 devices (should you decide to use them with Windows 10). Later, you can reinstall Windows Vista:

  • Can I switch to an Intel Pentium D 945 on a card mother Napa-GL8E?

    Hello, I have a HP Pavilion a6403w with an Intel Dual - Core processor E2160 (1.8 GHz) on a card mother Napa-GL8E. I would like to know if it is possible to switch to an Intel Pentium D 945 (3.4 GHz) on this motherboard. Before that everyone goes to the top and say no, I read a few post image Core 2 s running on this motherboard. And if an Intel Pentium D 945 would not work, what else would be a good upgrade for my PC? Thank you.

    (Edit: Opps, I posted this in the wrong forum.)

    Computer a6403w and Napa-GL8E pages care about motherboard;

    Type of socket: 775
    Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades
    Intel Core 2 Duo (Wolfsdale) E8xxx
    Core 2 Duo E6xxx until E6850 (Conroe)
    Pentium (Conroe) E2xxx series with Dual Core E2160 technology
    Core 2 Duo E4xxx (Conroe)
    Celeron 4xx series (Conroe) until Celeron 450

    Based on this information, the Pentium D 945 only is not supported on this platform. Referring to your "multiple posts reading" on quad-core Core 2 on the Napa, the information relates mainly to non - OEM versions (read no HP) of the Board of Directors. Sumsolstice mentions the internal docs showing micocode updated but does not purely and simply that it will work. The best processor would probably be the Core 2 Duo (Wolfsdale) E8xxx series.

    As the hard drive was another computer, the differences between the Optiplex GX620 and disc hard donor system [unless it's an another GX620], are too large and you may need to perform a clean reinstall of XP, then loading the OptiPlex GX620 drivers.

  • Display form OptiPlex GX620 desktop problem

    I have an Optiplex GX620 Desktop FF computer which was given to our Church for the office. I have recently installed 4 GB of RAM and a 80GB HDD SATA white. I have connected to a TV high definition with a PC connection.

    When I turn on the computer, two things happen:

    (1) the TV on the PC channel screen remains empty.

    (2) the computer will beep twice and 1-2-3 lights on the front is green.

    This could be a problem with the graphics/display in the computer card and what can I do to solve this problem?

    The add in video card with LFH connector can have Dual VGA. A dell cable would also a 1 and a 2 on it to indicate what monitor is 1 vs 2.
