This. Those screws have self-stops built in as a part of the design. Screw them in until they stop. Then you're done.do you go until they stop?
i can finally breathe now.This. Those screws have self-stops built in as a part of the design. Screw them in until they stop. Then you're done.
Don't have a 3500 but I looked some stuff up and it doesn't appear like it was much different back then. Those 5 pin fans should only have 4 wires. The colors matter so whatever fans you get just un pin the 4 pin connector and take your old 5 pin fans and un pin those as well. Put your new fan wires in dells correct order into those old 5 pin connectors and plug them in. They sell adapters but I never seen a reason to buy them. And supposedly there is an uprated copper heatsink you can buy.I have a Dell T3500 and if i want to upgrade to a Xeon 6C X5690 3.46Ghz 12MB 6.40GTs 130W Processor | 3.73Ghz Max Turbo Frequency (SLBVX) I must change heatsink?
My Intel® Xeon® Processor E5645 12M Cache, 2.40 GHz, 5.86 GT/s Intel® QPI. with 24gb ram works pretty well. Can play 4k videos with only 10-20% usage of the CPU. I can see it can work up to 2,87ghz when the manufacturer claims it only goes to 2,67. If i need to change the two 120mm front fans with 5pins how to find replacement fans? The most are on 3 or 4pin. Can i use an adapter and get the sensor to the fans to work to?
If you want to upgrade to an X5690, yes, you'll need the better heatsink and you'll need to attach a fan to it.I have a Dell T3500 and if i want to upgrade to a Xeon 6C X5690 3.46Ghz 12MB 6.40GTs 130W Processor | 3.73Ghz Max Turbo Frequency (SLBVX) I must change heatsink?

I would think that's more GPU related than CPU. What GPU do you have paired with it?it's fine until I start watching some 4k YouTube videos.
I can play 8k with E5645 and a old Nvidia Quadro Fx 3500 256mb and 24gb 1333mhz ram. I use Windows 8.1 Pro it maybe makes difference. It only uses about 20-30% of the cpu. But the point is that the fps may not be at the highest.Lex....Sometimes I wished I would have bought the 5690 but my 5670 is oc and running @4.3 Ghz. and it's fine until I start watching some 4k YouTube videos. I think you mentioned to me way back when about the W3680/W3690 but I had already purcheased the 5670. The 5690's were close to $75 when I bought my 5670 but I see they have come down a bunch.

AMD Radeon HD 7770 2GB GDDR5... I guess I should have elaborated more, it plays the video's great, but I can feel more heat coming out of the case and the fan speeds way up, when I begin to watch the 4k videos, it's fine with 1080. I don't have any side covers on any of my PC's, but I'm sure I don't have a patent on that.I would think that's more GPU related than CPU. What GPU do you have paired with it?
That might be the difference, I have a backup image of Windows 7 for this PC maybe I should try that and see how it performs, I'm using 11 right now.I use Windows 8.1 Pro it maybe makes difference. It only uses about 20-30% of the cpu.
There's your issue, you need a newer GPU for 4K video. RX470 or RX480 would fit the bill for you.AMD Radeon HD 7770 2GB GDDR5...

Looking at a 470 right now on eBay for $43 over in 30 minutes, but I'm sure the bids will go up.There's your issue, you need a newer GPU for 4K video. RX470 or RX480 would fit the bill for you.
Try this one.Looking at a 470 right now on eBay for $43 over in 30 minutes, but I'm sure the bids will go up.
They don't have one. Don't worry about it. The X58 chipset in the T3500 has a large heatsink and it never gets too hot.For some reason i can't see the motherboard temp on my Dell T3500.
Xmas I guessDamn! That's more than a month..
Well as an adult you pay for any Xmas gift you get. Sooo that's still a damn nice present lol.Xmas I guess
Hi @Imprecision,Yeah I can try that when I get my hands on it (shipping takes forever). The guy who tried with just the 8 pin used it for mining, not sure if he had flashed some VGA BIOS for mining on it.
I also read that card actually has two different BIOS chips, one with a "Boost" BIOS that sets the clock to 1411MHz, and a "Silent BIOS" that sets the clock to 1340 MHz. I will try to set it to silent bios to see if that takes care of those 10 extra watts.
Hi @Imprecision,
New forum member here. I've just got myself a refurbished Dell Precision T7810, with a 2 x Xeon E5-2690 v4, 128 GB RAM, and ... a 825W PSU.
I'm planning to install a GTX 1080 Ti GPU on this system - the exact GPU is EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC Black Edition GAMING.
In terms of disk storage, I'll also install an M.2. NVMe adapter for PCIe 3.0 x4 lanes and a 2TB NVMe SSD on that (an SK Hynix Gold P31).
According to this GPU's specs (available here and here), it's expected to draw 250W max power, distributed via 1 x 6pin + 1 x 8pin connector.
225W can be supplied as: 75W from the PCIe 3.0 x 16lanes port, plus another 150W from the provided PSU's distribution board / edge connector.
The question is then: Where to get the remainder of 25W (aka 10% of GPU's total power requirement), in order to get to 250W max?
BTW, forgot to respond to this. Flip your CPU heatsink to face the opposite way. Then buy one of the Arctic fans mentioned earlier and mount it to the flat side of the heatsink blowing air through the fins toward the back of the case.
My only suggestion if it doesn't work/stable which I'm betting it won't be a problem is an external GPU enclosure. Never used one personally but I always see used ones from Dell Alienware systems for sale on eBay.
