The 4K Dell OptiMac - 9020 MT - Core i7-4790 - Radeon RX 570 - LG 4K IPS Monitor

[trs96]

Can anyone please advise me here- I still can't get the Bluetooth working on the HB1200. I've made a custom cord (tried a couple) to get power to via the USB.

Is there anything inside of Clover or something I need to do software-wise?

Make a copy of ioreg and zip it up. Attach here.

You can also open up Hackintool app and take a screenshot of what you see
under the USB tab. Attach that too.

However, the 9020 MT doesn't seem to have a place to plug in the

You're talking about the 9020 MT but in your signature you're having a 9020 SFF. Which one do you mean?
The 9020 MT has an internal USB2.0 connector and therefore there's no problem to connect the HB1200 with the USB-cable to the internal usb header. With my wrong Fenvi (AC1200 with intel wireless card) I could get bluetooth to run (with internal usb header).

In this photo, it says "connected to USB port on motherboard"

Yes you're right, but did you also connect the cable to the Fenvi HB1200?

Has anyone here been able to run the expanded list of 4K HiDPI resolutions on their Intel HD Graphics? I'd love to hear what Intel graphics you're running if you are. I'm looking a resolution like 3008x1692 HiDPI (effectively 6016x3384) for example. Not 1080p HiDPI.

My own setup (9020m, i7-4785T, Intel HD 4600) can only do 1080p HiDPI. I've increased my VRAM to 64 and can run native 4K without issue, but I'm after the intermediate HiDPI resolutions in between 4K and 1080p that actually consume more processing power since the way scaling works. This seems to be a limitation of the HD 4600 chipset, but I'm hoping that's wrong. Can anyone else chime in if their HD 4600 or possibly newer Intel GPU can do it?

Also, Windows equivalent of font scaling possibly works the same? I can run 4K with font scaling of 125%, 150%, 200%, etc. I don't know if that means the card is capable of pushing those higher resolutions or windows just handles it differently.

There's a least one step between 1080p and 4K that's available (alt key and click 'Scaled' on display properties for the list).

 

[david7586]

My monitor (LG 43un700-b) does not natively show resolutions in between; however, RDM will show what resolutions I can display, and none inbetween 4k and 1080p show the lightning bolt icon indicating HiDPI.

 

[nicksoph]

Didn't use Switchres and dont know RDM but for sure got an intermediate resolution on the HD4600. Some people could only go as high as it - depending on cabling (I think). See this thread where some of those who couldnt get to 4K managed the intermediate res. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...monitors-on-intel-4600-integrated-gpu.282589/ - but it might also relate to monitor capabilities.
Edit: I have misunderstood what you were after - Not hidpi

 

[david7586]

Thank you very much for the replies! Just to confirm, the intermediate resolution you are able to see is HiDPI? I'm concerned primarily it being HiDPI to achieve as sharp text as possible on a resolution that doesn't scale at an integer. 1x,2x,3x, etc.

@david7586 - Sorry. No. I misunderstood - Dont think they were HiDPI - edited reply.

5 pin to 4 pin Fan Adatpers for your Dell Optiplex MT
​

Just discovered these on Amazon.com. They are much higher quality than the ones you'll find on Ebay that ship from China. So if you want to move your MT to a new case these are a great option. You should only need one or two of them.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0871P9X72/?tag=tonymacx86com-20

Compare the above to what you get on Ebay only $2.50 less:

You can also get a two pack for $11.99 if you are swapping out the case fan too.

If you really need a lot of airflow then try these 4 pin pwm fan splitters. Only buy if you have very high airflow requirements for your Optiplex hackintosh build.

Another nice upgrade for the MT board. These i71C CPU coolers sell for $19.99 plus shipping from Newegg. They fit right into the the existing Dell Backplate. Just screw it down and connect up the fan cable and the RGB controller.
