Hi all,

Does anyone know if this would work in the Dell T5500?

I would get one with the harness. If you plug your old harness in you won't have any of the extra connectors to access the extra power. It should have a few more PCIe cables available, and probably a bunch of SATA power leads also. A look in the T7500 owners manual should show what's there. My 1000W Dell PSU is 9" long w/o the harness. I have had to replace some older DVD drives with newer (shorter) ones to fit big PSUs in some Dells. I think ASUS was good for this. I don't have an 1100W in my pile to measure. The 875W is 6 1/2" long.

Thanks @Retrorockit I do see the measurements are different but I didn't think about the addition wires with the harness, good idea. If I don't have a dvd drive that's no big deal for me, I would rather have the additional power. lol

Having a dvd/BR burner just saved me a massive headache.

Customer who brought me his laptop said it fell when his son was carrying it. Wasn't his laptop either. Displace was broken so I replaced it. After replacing it and testing it, was good to go. He returned it later saying it's now giving graphical issues. I took a look and the connection to the Mobo for the display cable is loose. I am not eager to use solder and it's an old laptop so he said just backup data and he will buy new one. I don't have spare 2.5" external drives to convert his laptops HDD into external so I backed up all his stuff into my Dell t3500 and used my DVD burner and 4 dl disks and got it all onto disk. He is darn happy.

I then realized importance of physical media again.

Boring story, I know.

With an aftermarket PSU you usually lose a DVD bay to store the extra wires anyway.

Hey guys, I have a Dell 685W PSU in a T3610 case, everything is working fine. I have found out the PSU doesn't use a standard ATX 24 pin setup (although the connector looks the same, you'd never know otherwise). Was wondering if there was any way to adapt/convert the PSU to work in a standard 24 pin ATX motherboard? Just thinking of upgrading the motherboard to a more standard config, but the PSU is holing me back. Or maybe a new standard ATX PSU, but the case is also very small...

Cheers!

 

[Retrorockit]

It's usually best to approach Dell workstations as "whole systems". There are some unlocked Xeons that will work in that and can be overclocked. Parts interchangeability is very limited, even with other Dells.
If you don't like the Dell PSU, the case, and the MB, there won't be much left when you get through anyway.
If you go back to page 49,50 here, you can see some posts on upgrading to a bigger Dell PSU in the T3610.
The whole Dell modding scene is nothing like the ATX "everything fits everything else" hobby.
There are people who do the type of modding you're asking about. But the answer will be different for each Dell system. You're pretty much going to be on your own to figure it out. Even the Dell PSUs that "fit" ATX systems will have wiring that is only the right length for the Dells they came in.
Here is a page showing the performance that system is capable of.

Would anyone be able to tell me the differences in the different T7500 power supply models? They look the same???

The form factor should be the same across all models. They are meant to be universal.

This is exactly why optical media is still useful.

Im thinking Ive got the touch of death, or Im missing something painfully obvious. 2 of my 3 T3610 w/ 1650 v2 wont get into BIOS. Ill press F2 and after the Dell logo screen, Im left with a blinking _ in the top left corner. Ive tried different cards in different slots, CMOS battery out to reset, different DIMMs, different drives, no SATA plugged into mobo, etc.

Both computers worked initially for an hour or so then failed on reboot. Are the odds that bad that Ive somehow fried 2 motherboards?

Have you tried a different/spare CPU? Perhaps both need a BIOS update?

I think they were both on older BIOS, I didnt get a chance to run the Dell BIOS exe, but should have. Whats the safest new BIOS that doesnt interfere with ThrottleStop? I also am not sure how I can update the BIOS at this point, even with the flash drive option, I cant access BIOS menu or one time boot setup. I can pull a CPU out of the third machine to see if that does anything.

 

[lexluthermiester]

The newest one. They are all safe for Throttlestop AFAIK.

Worth a try.

Intel XTU was written to overclock that family of CPUs. The HP guys are having good results with it. HWBOT is involved with Intel in developing that and sharing settings. So there is another option available. But we'd still love to hear about it in the TS overclocking thread.

Nada on new CPU, put PC3 CPU in to PC2 and PC2 CPU into PC3. No boot on PC2 still, good boot on PC3. Tried all sorts of DIMM configs on PC2. I really think somehow I bricked 2 MOBOs that were working on their dying breathes. But what would the odds of that really be?

Now that PC3 fired up, I updated the BIOS immediately, handled it just fine. Down to 1/3 T3610s being operational

Thank you, I was just curious why there are two different models but look the same, just seems weird.

You might check the wiring on your 120V. outlet. Sometimes the common get's switched with the power lead.

I just came across a powerful 150W GPU. RX5600XT

AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT Review: Look out, RTX 2060

1660 Ti-like pricing and better-than-2060 performance!

www.tomshardware.com

I also noticed some bitching about PCIe3.0 bandwidth not being up to PCIe4.0
This looks interesting since these workstations all have 2x GPU slots.

Do RX 5700 XT and RX 5600 XT Crossfire setups make any sense today or should you just skip over this whole chapter?

Hello,

Would anyone be able to tell me if the 825 watt power supply from the dell t5500 would work in a dell t5500?

If I read it right the t5500 has way more amps on the 5v?

Here is my situation, my dell t5500 is dead, system wont turn on, no lights for diagnosis, I press the button(have to hold it) on the power supply and it seems likes it's running but no video, etc, just all fans spinning.

I have access to a t5600 and wondering if I can put the t5500 power supply in the t5500?

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you
Bill

I think you're asking if the T5500 PSU will fit the T5600. The answer is no. Dell went from an ATX based PSU to a proprietary "plug 'n' play" PSU for the T3600,3610,5600,5610 etc.
There are pictures of these on page 49/50 in this thread. Dell felt this gave them a servicing advantage over HP for that market.

Yea I know they don't fit, I probably didn't explain good enough, What I am hoping is if I can temporarily hookup the t5500 power supply to see if it works, just cant find much info on the t5600 power supply. I dont want to hurt the computer if the power supply is too much for it.

 

[Retrorockit]

I don't think anyone is going to tell you to do that. I know that HP has borked the pinout of the 24 pin PCIe connector when it suits their purpose. Dell has done it in the past also. Unless you can find a published pinout for the MB connectors I wouldn't try it.

Ok Thanks, thats what i was afraid of, guess I just need to by a repalcement power supply and hope it works.

thanks for all the help.

I had similar with a system and moving the GPU in to another slot helped get past the blinking cursor.
I'm not sure why the primary slot affected it that way.

That won't happen. PC PSUs will only give a system as much power as is needed up to the rated limit. You don't have to worry about overpowering your system with a 1100w PSU. However.....

This can be a thing for servers, but for workstations and desktops intended for the general public the pinouts are standard for the vast majority of systems, which is needed for compatibility.
