Optiplex 7060 SFF Upgrade from i5 8500 to i7 9700
Hello,
Does anybody know when will Dell add support for 9th Generation Intel CPUs for the 3060, 5060 and 7060 Optiplex SFF models. I have an Optiplex 7060 sff which uses a 300 series Intel motherboard and I have installed the latest BIOS but it still does not support an i7-9700 processor that I bought. I know that all 300 series motherboards support 9th generation Intel Core processors. Does anybody know when Dell will add support for 9th generation Intel processors to the BIOS?

i know that the psu can handle the 75w of the gpu but i don't know if it can resist when the cpu is the gpu they are both 100% (65w + 75w). on the website it is specified that a gpu of max 55w is recommended but I don't know if it is only a precautionary or restrictive limit.

Can't see the photo of PSU, what is the model number and wattage, what's the 12v rail capable of handling in A ?

Ok so the photo of PSU finally displayed - indeed it has two 12v rails, split roughly equally - 16.5A and 14A, but this really is a very low powered PSU, I reckon you can get away with a 75w power draw GPU but that's absolute max and you should put it on the OTHER rail not used by CPU 4pin/8pin & 24pin for motherboard.
I'd strongly suggest upgrading GPU to an ultra sim form factor power supply, won't cost you much and you should be able to get up into the 400 to 500W mark for similar efficiency rating (atleast 80+ bronze)

So I know this is a bit of an older forum but I do have something to add to it. I had a few 7060 that had i7 8700 processors in them that I wanted to harvest. So I took them out and planned to swap them for cheaper pentium gold processors. I tested this swap on one of the 7060 that had been completely reset and setup. Putting the pentiums worked on this one. I also installed a 9100f processor in it and it also worked fine no problems. When I attempted to put these in the other 7060 I had they all failed to boot. I tried everything to figure out what was going on but I couldn’t figure it out. Finally there was something I noticed. Most of these come with raid configuration turned on, this is because it is required to utilize the optane memory features. I removed the optane module and installed a standard ssd on the one but the others still had optane installed and raid configuration turned on. So any processor supported officially supported by dell will work but also processors not “officially” supported will also work as long as the tdp is matched with the power supply and motherboard and as long as the raid configuration is off and optane isn’t being utilized. Not sure why this is but I think it has to do with the supported feature set or lack thereof built in the processors. Hope this helps anyone. Like I said I’ve installed pentium and 9100f processors in the 7060 UT no issues.
