    I'm not using mine for a gaming machine, but a home server / lab server, but this video was still very helpful, thank you. I have a T5810 with Xeon E5-2680 (14 real, no-kidding cores, 28 effective threads), 128GB RAM, 2TB SSD and 10TB HDD that I have spent less than $500 on total. I'll be hosting a couple dozen VMs and a handful of Docker apps. This machine will do this without breaking a sweat and still have resources left to run some games if they're on a separate SSD (possibly utilizing an M.2 on a PCIe x8 slot). It's incredible to get this kind of hardware for that price. That kind of machine would have been over $10k just 5 years ago. This is why I liketo wait until the end of a business lifecycle (about every 5 years), because these machines can do so much more than consumer-grade machines for about a 5th to 10th of the price.

    I picked up a T5810 to do a mini project, 1620 V3, 16GB 2133, AMD Firepro W5100, it was able to game at 1080p Low @30+FPS on "No man's sky.

    Built three of these years ago, when the RTX2060 Super founder editions were $350. I had three T-5810s laying around the office, all with the E5-1650 v4, 4.0ghz, CPUs. I went to E-Bay and upgraded the PSUs and pretty sure, Amazon for splitters to combine 6pins to power the RTX2060S. Used a flathead screw driver to carefully pry off the metal piece behind the panel to fit the GPU, pretty easy actually, just take it slow to not damage the panel. Never had heat issues, have no extra fans. My only splurge was three Alienware 24”240hz monitors, because @1080p my kids easily go over 100fps-300fps depending on game. To date, I still can not justify upgrading their PC as anything I look at in the $1,000-$1,200 range would be worse or equal.

    Dell has the cooling figured out. You don't need any janky fans. I am running a T5810 with an E5-2697 V4, 64GB RAM, GTX-980 and a pair of 6TB RAID 1 HDD's. It's mainly because Dell designs their machine properly, meaning they have different thermal zones. What you should mention is the annoying metal/rubber bracket/extension on the lid that prevents full sized GPU installs.

    I appreciate the work you put into this video. But you kind of sidestepped the tremendously high power that those old Xeon's used compared to modern CPUs. And also, that newer Ryzen platform can be upgraded, where as these end up as giant paperweights around my office after 3 years.

      All that is true but we are talking about Ultra budget gaming, keeping things very cheap, not everyone can afford upgrading. Also after 8 years since the Precision was released you can see that they are not only not a paperweight, but beat the Ryzen in all games.

      @@HardwareSense And the power consumption difference isn't that big if you select the correct CPU. The Xeon 2640 v3, for example, works great in these and a 90W TDP part. It's also $20. Even parts with officially higher TDP most often do not run at the full wattage when gaming.

    • @timfountain98
      @timfountain98 9 месяцев назад

      Tremendously high power? The best CPU you can put in there is the E5-2699 V4, with a TDP of 145W.... That's for 22 cores. An R9-5950X has a TDP of 105W for 16 cores... A modern CPU such as the i7-13700K has a TDP of 253W.... with 8E and 8P cores. So no, in summary I don't really think the most power hungry CPU you can put in a 5810 has a TDP that is out of line with other modern performance CPU's and certainly not 'tremendously high power'. And recall this is TDP. IRL my 5810 rarefy pulls more than 100W at the plug doing normal non-gaming stuff. It has a e5-2699 V4, 96GB of memory, 1.6TB Intel Optane drive, 2x6TB RAID 1 HDD's and a GTX-980. My gaming rig pulls significantly more, but it has an R9-5950X, RTX-3080 ti, 64GB, a 2TB NVME and 2x 8TB RAID 1 SAS drives. The real power hog in the house is my Dell Precision 7910, with 2x E5-2699V4's, 128GB RDIMM, 1.2TB Intel Optane, 4x8TB SAS drives in a RAID 5, and a RTX-2080 ti....

      If you use a "U" type adapter when connecting the 8 pin power cord to the top of a 4 3/8" graphics card the cover will fit without removing the plastic/rubber piece. Most card manufacturers offer the smaller 4 3/8" sizes of 3060s, 70s, etc. but they don't have the better cooling options available with the taller 5.5" cards. You can unscrew the plastic/rubber piece on the inside of the case cover but it is designed to be permanently attached (clinched?) to a metal piece to the cover that interferes with installing the larger cards. Not sure how easy it would be to scrape that metal piece off without bending the cover. Cutting it out and replacing it with a clear or ventilated piece is a great solution. Adding the rear exhaust fan is another excellent idea.
