Dell Optiplex GX620: Can any graphics card work in this computer?

Mon, 19 Feb 2018 20:43:52 -0700

@ulees I want to put a new graphics card in this and I’m not sure what graphics card will work. So does it matter what graphics card I put in it? Will any graphics card work? It currently has its original card installed and I’d like to put a MSI GeForce GT 730 2GB 64bit GDDR5 in it. I know that it’s PCIE 2.0 but what I’ve found is that it will work in PCIE 1.x.

@jayeff here are some photos of my graphics card:

Dell Optiplex GX620: How can I build these two PC's into one?

Mon, 19 Feb 2018 14:25:21 -0700

Hi guys,

So I have a Gateway SX2110G-UW318, with AMD E1-1200, AMD Radeon HD 7310, a 500 GB HD, 4GB DDR3 MEMORY, and Windows 8 pulling all the strings. Now, I also have a Dell Optiplex GX520 - with a Celeron D 2.4 GHz, 64 bit, 50GB HD, 533Mhz, and Windows XP pulling "some" strings. The Gateway is blue screened from a quick power failure, and the Dell's fan speed is sporadic no matter how many adjustments i make. It just keeps getting louder and louder as the tasks become more involved. Especially if I'm playing a video.

My thought was to try and use the graphics card from the GW, in the Dell, as I had heard that replacing this would quiet down the noise (something to do with the stock card needing too much power for the configuration). Please excuse my lack of technical jargon and such, I am quite new to all of this. I am wondering what you think I should do (this is a somewhat temp situation, I will get all new gear in less than a year)?

Thank you for your time! C Alan

Dell Optiplex GX620: Has anyone heard anything like this from their speakers?

Mon, 12 Mar 2018 11:02:33 -0700

So lately I’ve heard my computer speakers have a weird static sound. I happen to know why this is happening, I’m hearing the hard drive activity! For some reason it’s going through my system and coming out as static. Why and how can I stop it?

Every time the hard drive does something it does this.

I wondering what the processor bus speed is? Is it the connector on the motherboard or the link speed of the processor. I know that the current processor bus is 800MHz. Can I put a faster 1066MHz processor in it and it will the specs change in the bios settings?
