Optiplex 3010 sff

  • I’m about to be given an optiplex 3010 sff shortly. I was just wondering if anyone has found a higher wattage power supply that fits?

    Nope, nope, nope.  I didn't suggest a downgrade.  GT 710 2GB is still only 19w.

    All one has to do is Google it.  "gt 710 wattage"  Also, all GPU card mfrs. seem to do that - always recommend a 300w even for low watt cards.  With your PSU, you could go up to about 40w or so.  It can easily power a 30w GT 1030.  So hopefully you're not still in doubt.

    If it were a 3020, it could take the 315w PSU from the XE2 SFF.

    Do you plan on using a GPU card?  It can still take a 30w GT 1030.

    Dell AC240AS-01 - 240W Power Supply For Optiplex 390 790 990 3010 7010 9010 SFF Dimensions: 72mm x 62mm x 240mm

    Silverstone TFX psu TX 300 85 mm (W) x 65 mm (H) x 175 mm (D) (Support standard TFX form factor) 

    so it seems standard TFX psu would not fit Dell sff case.

    • The GeForce 710 I would be using is the single fan PNY because I already have it and I will probably put a bigger gpu in my other desktop.

    • I was actually thinking of using a mild GeForce 710, but the 710 says it recommends 300w. The stock power supply is 250w.

    • I just found an Apevia 300w on Amazon that someone said they successfully installed in a 3010 sff. I might give it a shot if I don’t get an answer on how much power the PNY draws.

    • I’m trying not to have to buy a new gpu. I already have a PNY gt 710, but it says it recommends minimum of 300w.

    QUADRO K600 is a 40W GPU low profile works fine with windows 7 8 10 11.
