9010 MT, motherboard replacement

Here you go

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Optiplex-9010-Desktop-Computer-i5-3470-3-20GHz-4GB-250GB-HD-Win-7-Office-/283131728167

$130 and free ship. 30-day warranty.

Likely off-lease or from office. Maybe only 2 left.

Or, take your pick:

https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=optiplex+9020

I know 9020 came with Windows-7 , so you should be able to get to Windows-10 for free. 

Hmm, maybe 9010 did to?

No worries since Dell doesn't have it anyway. Unfortunately, you are down to eBay and other sites with questionable used motherboards.

Do you have a genuine Windows-7 CoA sticker?

Thanks for the replies, guys.  I only need a replacement motherboard though (I can supply the EST if need be).  I have a Corsair CX550M, the i5-3550, 16gb of ram, 2 SSDs, and an EVGA GTA 1060.  ALL I need is the motherboard for this specific 9010. 

I know with what I currently have, I should just opt for an after-market 1155 board and have considered it, but Ultimately, I'd like to wait a little while longer before going that route.  So that said, if anyone can provide me with the actual mini-tower motherboard parts number (or even better, a link to a viable eBay source) you will have my unending gratitude!  

Thanks again for the replies, fellas! 

Edit - I do have a valid Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium that I have used to upgrade to Windows 10 without issue.  I have access to more (I have several old Windows 7 USFF systems at my disposal).

1. I know.

Ebay is iffy at best (especially with raw, usually untested, components). I doubt you are going to get one for less that $125. I would take a whole working machine (with 30 day warranty) over a piece of junk board someone found. You also get a working Intel-CPU and some ram.

If you want to rip it apart that's on you, however, I can't image why you would want to. Move the GPU, drives, and maybe some ram to this working one and get on with your life.

2. Good, just wanted to make sure the 9010 came with (at least) Windows-7. If it's Pro, that will likely get you Windows-10.

If you want to get a retail motherboard (if you can find one that runs those old chips/rams) go for it. But don't assume those old Dell licenses will activate on it. Obviously, that's not legit (even if it works). To be legit, another $100 for Windows-10. I would pickup a cheap retail case while you are at it.

CX550M is too small and does not have sufficient power on the 3.3v/5v rails combined.305 Watt Dell MT Optiplex 3010 7010 9010 Inspiron 518 530 531 Precision T1500 T6100 T1650 Vostro 220 260 400 MPCF0 0VWX8 5W52M 57KJR 5DDV0 6R89K 84J9Y 949H1 CD4GP DG1R8 XW597 FFR0Y

Recommended Replacement power supply for using a 150W or more GPU is EVGA 750 B1 110-B1-0750-VR .  NOT B2 B3 NOT BQ NOT G2 etc.

 Power supplies are not a single spec of WATTS and 12v only.

Many vendors have 120w or 100w combined on the 3.3v/5v rails which is not sufficent.

25A  25A  is listed as 20A  20A and its actually less than that because 20A @ 5v is 100W and 20A @ 3.3v is 66W

On Dell 875 w units the combined power GOES UP TO 225W for these rails.  The lowest this is is 142W for the 460W Dell power supply.

150W 3.3v/5v

DELL 460W

DELL 875W

9020 does not have the same power supply as 9010 so this is a non starter.

I was (at first) suggesting he just buy a (newer/better) cheap/refurbished (100% working) OptiPlex-9020 Tower. I wasn't sure 9010 also came with Win-7 license. He would move-over his Corsair-PS, GTX-1060 and drives.

Job done.

This idea that you have to rebuild these old machines, when they are a dime-a-dozen, is foreign to me. To move the 16gb ram, might have to stick to 9010's. Plus, you have a whole matching set of "spare parts". That eBay still has 2 left. :Smile:

Okay, 

1. I'd love to be able to afford to go all out on a gaming rig but I am a college student with 2 jobs and I am barely managing to make ends meet as is. 

2. there are several used boards on eBay for under $25. 

3. then can someone at least tell me where to look for said information on my board?

NOTICE: By me posting this message, does not prevent anyone-else from posting this illusive info you are searching for.

1. Yeah, I kinda got that from your first post ... that's really why I'm trying to help you in the first place.

So, you have more time than money. Rare these days, but I was like that once. :Smile:

2. Right. But I think you are operating under the false assumption that all these detached motherboards are correctly-labeled and actually 100% working. This is the eBay flee-market (used junk-pile) after-all.

But I like the idea of keeping these old machines running. Many are still useful to people (for most uses) and keeps them out of the land-fill.

3. Compare with text-descriptions and board-layout with high-resolution pics. You have the proper (broken) board right there in front of you.

Not sure why you think some guy on eBay would have this magical number (that you put so much value on). I'm sure there are many DPN's for an old motherboard that would work in this machine.

So, good luck. Let us know how it works out.

Okay, 

Let's try this again--I appreciate all of the supplemental information you've given me, but the fact that the replacement boards are basically a dime-a-dozen is WHY I am looking to simply replace the board I have.  If no one can tell me the board model to my system (again, I can provide the service tag if needed) then can someone at least tell me where to look for said information on my board? 

Secondly, regarding the power supply... it's more than enough to power my 3gb card; I have around 175 unused wattage remaining.  I've used the configuration for almost 20 months now and never had a single power issue or performance bottleneck. 

Lastly, there are several used boards on eBay for under $25.  To me, since I have all the other components and I am QUITE happy with the performance of my system for now... economically it seems logical to me to just spend the 18-25 dollars for a good used board from a reputable seller and be back in action.  Believe me. I'd love to be able to afford to go all out on a gaming rig but I am a college student with 2 jobs and I am barely managing to make ends meet as is. 

I have looked in the manuals listed on the support page for my computer... usually there's a service manual... can't find one with specific part numbers for the 9010 because of all the form variations they've made.  I might not know where to look... but given I've own around 50 Dells in my life, usually I know how to navigate around the support pages. 

Again, I appreciate all the help and extra information, but at the end of the day, my original question of what my board's part number is has remained unanswered.  If you guys can please help with that, it'd mean the world to me. 

Thanks. 

Well, the reason I think someone would have that "magical" number is because if you go and look at the listings for "9010 mini-tower Motherboard:"

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=optiplex+9010+mini+tower+motherboard&_sacat=58058&LH_TitleDesc=0&LH_PrefLoc=1&_sop=15&_osacat=58058&_odkw=dell+poweredge+1900&LH_BIN=1&LH_TitleDesc=0

You can see the "0F82W," the "KV62T" and the "M9KCM" variants.  All look similar to one another and they (the sellers) had to pull those magical part numbers from somewhere.  Also, some of these titles say these boards will work in multiple systems, (i.e. the 7010 and the 9010), but I would like to find the one identical to the one I have and honestly, they all look similar in photographic comparison.  

Finally, I understand that eBay is a digital flea-market; there's a lot of junk on there.  That said, I've been a member for several years, so I look for reputable sellers with a high number of sales and a seller rating of at least 99.5%.  I also look for "free returns on damaged/mislabelled items" "30, 60, or 90-day warranties," and other key words.  It's typically not hard to distinguish reputable sellers from those just looking to make cash on pure trash. 

On the other hand, I have always loved Dells.  I figure if I can continue using older systems or extend the life cycle of these old systems, then that's one, two, or more parts that ultimately aren't ending up in a landfill.  Most Dell components are built to last... and I trust that given the issue I'm having with this current board are bent pins and not blown capacitors, burnt out chips or modules, or any other type of physical damage, that it was something done in error by the previous owner.  If I had better eye sight and a steadier hand, I would attempt fixing the bent pins myself. 

Lastly, I'm a full-time college student and work two jobs 6 days a week... so it's not a matter of having more time than money; I have neither time nor money.  It's not a question of laze... it's a question of being frugal now in hopes of living a more comfortable life when my education has been completed. 

The Optiplex 9010 sold in four chassis, thus, multiple motherboard part numbers. Also, some of the motherboards were operating system specific. I will only list the Dell USA part numbers below.

Chris,

Thanks so much for your reply!  If you don't mind my asking, where did you pull that information from?  I'm having more luck finding the sub-part numbers than I am the numbers you provided for the main part number.  I greatly appreciate your time and efforts!

Those part numbers were pulled from the Dell internal SPMD (Spare Parts Master Database).
