I have a precision T7910 with 2X Xeon E5-2699A 2.4gig (V4) with AIO (water cooling) and 8 SSD (4 nvme on a pcie card) and 1tb ram. two monitors and nvidia cards. this thing rocks!
@@alanballos6162 I just bought a 7810 (the slightly lower model pictured at the end of the video), with no drives or gpu for right at $200 after shipping on eBay. There are plenty of these systems on there now.
Thank you for this video 7 years later, actually getting one of these used soon to replace my consumer grade Plex Media Server (and general-purpose server). Just needing something a little bit more robust. Only thing Enterrprise grade in my current server are the 3x HGST He10 Drives.
Would you recommend the T7910 over the HP Z840 if your 3 main deciding factors are: * Compatibility with non-refference design consumer graphics cards (i.E. Geforce cards with custom Cooler/PCB) * System Noise Level under heavy load * User servicabilty in case of fan problems. The very intricate CPU+RAM cooler assembly on the Z840 is touted to be whisper quiet, but i imagine that if just some of the fans go bad (or at least get annoyingly loud), replacing individual fans instead of outright buying a full new assembly will be way harder than switching out the standard fans on the CPU Heatsinks or the front intake fans on the T7910.
+Optilasgar They are both very similar as far as their ability to take additional cards and power cables. The noise level is fairly similar for both and very quiet. As far as fans, yes, the replaceemnt of a fan in the fan shroud on a Z840 is a chore but the chances of a failure are pretty small, not non-exisitent but small. It is easier to replace on the Dell and parts may be a little less expensive, but both of these systems are really pretty fantastic. The chances are that any excessive noise is probabaly going to come from the graphics cards. Both should also be able to run the newer cards, even though they are untested by the manufacturer. They are both really quite until you load them up but even then still pretty quiet. Bottom line, do you have a manufacturer preference because you might as well flip a coin for build quility on these machines. Hope that helps.
I just picked up one of these with zero RAM, no GPU and no HDD/SSD but including 2x E5-2630 V3 processors for a token four hundred pounds sterling. It should prove fun ! 2x 12 core CPUs on the way too.
I love it. I have the Precision t5810, that thing is a baby comapred to this beast I admit, but it's a much more serious system over say an XPS geared towards media rather then creation for sure. Very nice system.
Dell rarely updates their docs but check out page 51 here: dl.dell.com/topicspdf/precision-t7910-workstation_owners-manual_en-us.pdf Apparently, it does support 2TB of memory (now…). However, keep in mind that not all CPUs will support 1TB of memory each. I think this system origianlly came with E5-2600 v3 CPUs and now you can upgrade to v4 processors, which presumably support more memory. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching +Grim rabbit. We were trying a new video format and I think the T7910 is one of the first systems we've actually outfitted and turned on. It was really quiet. I could see the lights blinking but couldn't hear anything, of course that's with only the single HDD. We have everything to outfit just about anything but went with a minimal config., except for the graphics cards. Graphics cards are cool Heh, heh, heh…
Allegedly, no. However there is a work around, which I will add that we have not tried and cannot vouch for the safety of your system if implemented. Check out this link: www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/defaulttopic/windows-11-will-not-install-on-my-precision-t7910-workstation/647fa2fbf4ccf8a8de8b0fee Oh, and here is another interesting conversation. community.intel.com/t5/Processors/Compatibility-with-Xeon-E5-2680-V4-and-Windows-11/m-p/1296699 Thanks for watching!
Hello and thank you for this view. I'm considering a T7910 for video editing, programming, surfing, and, yes, gaming. In the video you show Win 7 and a HDD. I'm wondering about Win 10 Pro with a Samsung 970 Pro PCIe SSD or m.2 (the support by the T7910 for m.2 / PCIe SSD seems confusing). Any thoughts / explanation on the m.2 vs PCIe SSD for the 7910. Thank you.
Does this model support RTX 3080 ? and i will use it for both Engineering Softeware like (Solidworks and Carla Simulator and matlab) and gaming so What is your advice ؟
HI Tanbir, you can access the USB configuration settings if you press the F2 key during boot up. Here is a list of helpful commands once you get into the system setup: qrl.dell.com/Files/en-us/Html/Manuals/T7910/Avalon7SytemSetup=GUID-D81AB7B6-2399-4295-8044-1F943A4404A8=1=en-us=.html - Thanks for watching!
Hey! I was wondering if the T9710 supports would support a Xeon E5-1620 (v1) in case I didn't choose to use the supplied 2620 v3-v4s that normally are supplied with the pc. I recently ordered 2 of these Xeon E5-1620s and I was just checking in with someone who knows what they're doing with it.
Hi there Defects, Yea, no. The E5-1620 CPUs will not work as they are designed for a different socket. An E5-16xx v3 or v4 might work but you would be limited to a single socket. Might as well go with a single socket system if you only want to use 1CPU. Link to Spec Sheet here: www.itcreations.com/user-manuals/t7910/dell-precision-tower-7910-quick-specs.pdf You could get a single e5-2600 v3 or v4 CPU on EBAY, which you could then add a second at a later date… You could always ask IT Creations to match or beat whatever price you find too. www.itcreations.com Just offing some options. Thanks for watching!
Wrong generation of Xeon CPU. You need a V3 or V4 version in the T7910. The E5-1620 only has 4 cores. Why not an E5-2643 V3, *6* cores at 3.4/3.7 GHz and you can fit TWO of them ? The E5-2637 V3 has the same 4 cores as a 1620 (at 3.5/3.7 GHz) and again you can fit two and is CHEAP !
Reaching out here. I got my T7910 w/256GB and 72 total cores. However, I am unable to see anything attached to ports 2 and 3. Ports 0 and 1 have two 4TB drives for a LVM of 7.2 TB, and the spare sata has my old 4TB SSD. What should I be looking for in the bios to check about those ports? I did open up the box and that side and it seems those ports are connected. (Opening that is also how I got the 4TB SSD installed to the sata port.) Very respectfully, James
Hi James, Could be a few things but try CTRL+R during POST to get into the controller and see if there are any obvious setting inconsistencies. Try playing around with some of the settings, you can always switch them back… Sorry I can't be more specific. Good luck and thanks for watching and commenting.
@@jameskrych7767 Try running the diagnostic as outlined here, page 104 and 105: www.itcreations.com/user-manuals/r7910/dell-precision-rack-7910-owner's-manual.pdf Good luck!
I owned a new Lenovo WorkStation and hated it! I LOVE my older Dell Precision T7600. They are great performers full of quality built like tanks compared to plastic Lenovo junk full of cheap electronics.
Yes! And the good part is you can always add more memory, pop in a different GPU, or upgrade your processor as needed. That said, it really depends on the complexity of your work but for most applications what you have should be more than sufficient. Here is a use case scenario I found with a quick search. postperspective.com/review-dell-precision-7910-tower-workstation/ Thanks for watching!
@@goranahmed4680 If it has a GPU but one that doesn't have an HDMI port then you can get an adapter to fit your monitor to whatever input is available on the GPU. Perhaps the GPU only has a display port? That said, to connect a monitor, you will need a GPU. Hope that helps!
Wow man you are really amazing..thank you really thanks alot for responding so quickly.. But honestly I've been a long time away from tech world 🌎 How can i known that the dell workstation has a GPU ?! How does it look like 😊 would you please provide me a link that I can watch or read about it ?!
Is T7910 compatible with Intel P3520's 2TB PCIE SSD's and also Samsung 960 PRO Series - 2TB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD with an M.2 PCIe SSD Adapter ?
Hi +Prashant Mundargi we don;t carry those M.2 cards but I will confirm the T7910 will support both dual and quad M.2 cards see specifications here and look under Storage Options www.itcreations.com/user-manuals/T7910/Dell_Precision_Tower_7000_Series_7910_Spec_Sheet.pdf Here is a link describing the Dell quad card that supports up to 4x 1TB M.2 dirves www.servethehome.com/the-dell-4x-m-2-pcie-x16-version-of-the-hp-z-turbo-quad-pro/ And here is a great response to a question on using M.2 as a boot device with the T7910 on Spiceworks that gets answered by Dell community.spiceworks.com/topic/1928166-dell-pcie-ssd-advice. All that said, I don;t see any reason why the cards you asked about shouldn't work but we have not, and cannot test without puirchasing, and Dell usually just wants to sell their proprietary products, which I can understand from a profit perspective. We have the T7910 in stock if you are looking for parts and components but again we don't have the specific M.2 storage devices you are asking about. See a few links in the description above. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
Hello IT Creation . I love your videos , very informative .. I have one query though related to older Dell T7810 model . Can you put PSU 1300W unit in Dell T7810 ? I have 825W which came with DELL T7810
Hi Arup, I am not sure what that would do to your system. I don't thinks you can add the 1300W PSU without frying the system. If you do decide to try this (not recommended!!) we can sell you a t7910 or even a T7920 if you encounter problems! BTW, I saw your post on Green PC Gamers while researching your question. If you want to run 2x K6000 then you should be good to go with the 825W PSU as the specifications say you can install 2x GPUs with a power draw up to 300W each. The K6000 only uses 225W maximum power consumption, here: www.nvidia.com/content/PDF/data-sheet/NV_DS_Quadro_K6000_OCT13_NV_US_LR.pdf Also check out our landing page. At the very bottom of the page are several Dell documents that may be of use including the spec sheet, which supports my claim above. goo.gl/McCdxj Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!
@@arupsan Oh crap! You are correct! Unfortunately. That is a combined total of 300W. So no, I suppose two of those are out of the question. Never a good idea to start answering questions when my coffee level is at zero.
Have you ever encountered errors where it fails to start and the fans go full blast? I turned it off and let it sit for 15 minutes and it started up just fine. Any idea what it could be?
Hi Icychainz, Not specifically that scenario but I have turned a system only for strange things to occur. You definitely did the right thing restarting, not that there was another option… If it happens again write down as many details as possible about what happened before, during, and after the event. It is very hard to diagnose one time events but the more information you have the more information you can provide to whomever will diagnose the problem. Often you can look online with some of the characteristics of the crash and it's quite likely others have experienced it too. I'm going to chalk this up to a fluke, for now, but if it happens again drop us a message. Thanks for watching!
Hi @johndee759, Nope, this MOBO does not accept an NVMe drive directly off the motherboard. The only way you can install an M.2 drive on this system is through the PCIe lanes using a PCIe card, like this: www.itcreations.com/product/101219 or this: www.itcreations.com/product/90696 Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!
I am looking for nice workstation for IT work. I want to run virtualbox and VMware. I am looking for at least 64 gb of ram to start of with and later would want to be able to expand it to 256 gb ram. Also I want to have dual Xeon processor to go up to 24cores.
@@johndee759 If I am not mistaken none of them do. The newer workstations the T7920, T7820 and T5820 all have the option of installing M.2 drives in hot swap drive carriers that go in front drive cage. The T7920 will support up to 4 (I think) The others just two but you still have the options of installing the PCIe card with 1, 2, or 4 M.2 drives. but keep in mind, for full performance on those PCIe card drives you need a x4 electrical lane for each drive., so a x16 slot for a quad M.2 carrier Check out this video (Dell T7920) at about the 4:40 mark ruclips.net/video/jP65i_Iqml8/видео.html

That is correct. Unfortunately. But if you are buying a high-end workstation it is assumed you will be installing GPUs. Thanks for watching and commenting.
HI hphoto, not sure why that would be the case knowing absolutely nothing about your system but have you tried using the Dell Precision Optimizer to get the best performance out of that program? Microstation is listed among the ISV certified programs. User to use that software when I worked at RTKL. Here is a link where you can download the performance optimizer and that may help with Microstation. www.dell.com/learn/us/en/19/campaigns/dell-precision-optimizer Hope that helps!
Fantastic! We give advice quite frequently but we don't always hear if it helped, so thanks for the update. Always liked Microstation better than AutoCAD, it seemed much more intuitive… If you need any new servers, workstations, or components check out IT Creations.

When you say at 4:18 that NVMe disks are four times faster than SATA SSD disks, unfortunately this is not the case in reality. The ASUS HYPER M.2 V2 works great, and really affordable, NVMe drives not a lot more expensive than SSD-s, but their speed in reality at least on the T7910 are only marginally faster than regular 6MBs SSD.
@@Itcreations-LA Your content is as relevant today, mid 2020, as four years ago, absolutely. eBay and local refurbished server merchants offer thousands of these brilliant computers for half or one-third of the price as it was 4 years ago, I guess. So, all your old content is still interesting and being watched by home-lab enthusiasts, like me. Nevertheless, I watched a hell lot of NVMe vs SATA/SSD comparisons videos, and 99% of the cases in reality, NVMe gives marginal performance boost. This was my case, too, to my slight disappointment, I even posted my video of installing Windows Server 2019 on a VM on an NVMe disk vs on a SATA/SSD disk. I am still seeking a computer setup where NVMe really gives any reasonable performance boost for general use cases. If you could publish videos about this topic, that would be really excellent.

Hi there! Nvidia Geforce cards are not listed in their list of supported cards and have not been tested by Dell to run on this system. All that said, yea, GsForce cards should work just fine but they are geared more towards gaming, so no ECC. with a 1300W PSU this system is designed to support 3x high-performance cards up to 675W total power draw. The Nvidia GeForce 2080TI consumers about 260W and lists 675W as the minimum power supply for installation, so looks good!

Hi Vaseem, No, this board is not designed for that CPU architecture. In fact, even on the newer workstation systems, at least on the higher end from the manufacturers, rely on the enterprise-class Intel Xeon processors, in this case the Xeon E5-2600 v3 and v4 series, which have been replaced with Intel Xeon Scaleable processors on the new iterations of these systems like the T7920. There are a few lower end workstations offered by Dell, HPE and the others that use the Core X processors. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

Primary is work and secondary is gaming. Which one is durable for long term and fast. Please help.
@@Vaseem_opai If work related activities are primary, then go with the Xeon. Or you go with the i9 (ultra-fast gaming processor) which I would recommend if gaming is your primary use. Good luck on your purchase and thanks for watching!

@@Vaseem_opai Yes, you should be able to play at 4k, assuming you have a 4k monitor attached and your RTX card supports 4K. However, you may find that setting is not to your liking for rendering and frame rates in your games. So in a word, yes, but again you may find you like playing at lower resolution settings and higher frame rates. This is all very subjective and there are many variables in how fast your system will render frames and such, like explosions. the card is a major player in rendering frames but you will need a 4k monitor.

My TS600, after finish the Dell support and I didn´t renew... the computer became slow to start...I upgraded to win10 with the version that Dell indicated...but keep the same...now it takes 7 minutes to start. I thik that is HD...I wanna buy a SSD, but I not certain if the motherboard support SATA 3. Jesus.. In 7 minutes I make a kid!
I checked a few manuals online but was unable to find details of what your system supports, so I hesitate to recommend anything. However, to ensure compatibility either ask Dell or open up the laptop and read the specs directly off the drive and match those specs (at least for type of drive) and go from there. I don;t see any reason why there should not be a SATA SSD that will work with your laptop. I put one in my 11-year old Sony Vaio and it starts in under 30 seconds now. And SSD will make a dramatic difference. Good luck and thanks for watching!

@@jari173 That makes a whole lot of difference. Yes you can install either 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SSDs at 3Gb/s on that system (it is an older system and will not support 12Gb/s drives). Going to assume you have standard HDDs in there now. An SSD for your boot drive will provide a significant increase in performance. If you want to go 6Gb/s for SAS or SATA you will need a PERC as the internal HD/RAID controller will only support 3Gb/s. That said you can install a 6Gb/s drive on your system if you can find an inexpensive on that is for some unknown reason priced less that a 3Gb/s drive but it will function at th eloewr speed level (3Gb/s).

Hi Haruji, It is very common for some of the manuals to be out of date. This system is compatible with both E5-2600 v3 and v4 processors, each of which supports different memory capacities and speeds. CPU releases used to be based on a Tic Toc schedule with the initial release supporting a certain GB capacity and then the release of the next gen usually includes not only the new processor but firmware and BIOS updates. The information presented in this video is somewhat out of date and even Dell does not always update their materials on a timely basis. Here are two links. Here is a link to the outdated manual (soon to be updated, so this may not be the old one in just a few days…) we have on posted on our site, I think using the v3 CPUs or v4 CPUs without another firmware update, page 60: www.itcreations.com/user-manuals/t7910/precision-t7910-workstation_owner's%20manual_en-us.pdf Here is a link to the manual on the Dell site which has E5-2600 v4 processors listed and 1TB with single CPU and 2TB with 2 CPUs and 128GB memory modules, Page 51: dl.dell.com/topicspdf/precision-t7910-workstation_owners-manual_en-us.pdf Dell is not the only manufacturer to do this.

It will most likely work, just make sure that the power supply can pump out the extra watts

How to disable USB ports on Tower 7910 using Registry File or disconnect the hardware part? Please help me about the issue.
HI Tanbir, you can access the USB configuration settings if you press the F2 key during boot up. Here is a list of helpful commands once you get into the system setup: qrl.dell.com/Files/en-us/Html/Manuals/T7910/Avalon7SytemSetup=GUID-D81AB7B6-2399-4295-8044-1F943A4404A8=1=en-us=.html - Thanks for watching!
Hey! I was wondering if the T9710 supports would support a Xeon E5-1620 (v1) in case I didn't choose to use the supplied 2620 v3-v4s that normally are supplied with the pc. I recently ordered 2 of these Xeon E5-1620s and I was just checking in with someone who knows what they're doing with it.
And, how much does this unit actually use itself? I know it said it has a 1300w PSU, but how much of this is actually utilized when it is powered on?
Hi there Defects,
Yea, no. The E5-1620 CPUs will not work as they are designed for a different socket. An E5-16xx v3 or v4 might work but you would be limited to a single socket. Might as well go with a single socket system if you only want to use 1CPU. Link to Spec Sheet here: www.itcreations.com/user-manuals/t7910/dell-precision-tower-7910-quick-specs.pdf
You could get a single e5-2600 v3 or v4 CPU on EBAY, which you could then add a second at a later date… You could always ask IT Creations to match or beat whatever price you find too. www.itcreations.com Just offing some options. Thanks for watching!
Wrong generation of Xeon CPU. You need a V3 or V4 version in the T7910. The E5-1620 only has 4 cores. Why not an E5-2643 V3, *6* cores at 3.4/3.7 GHz and you can fit TWO of them ? The E5-2637 V3 has the same 4 cores as a 1620 (at 3.5/3.7 GHz) and again you can fit two and is CHEAP !
Reaching out here.
I got my T7910 w/256GB and 72 total cores. However, I am unable to see anything attached to ports 2 and 3. Ports 0 and 1 have two 4TB drives for a LVM of 7.2 TB, and the spare sata has my old 4TB SSD.
What should I be looking for in the bios to check about those ports? I did open up the box and that side and it seems those ports are connected. (Opening that is also how I got the 4TB SSD installed to the sata port.)
Very respectfully,
James
Hi James,
Could be a few things but try CTRL+R during POST to get into the controller and see if there are any obvious setting inconsistencies. Try playing around with some of the settings, you can always switch them back…
Sorry I can't be more specific. Good luck and thanks for watching and commenting.
@@Itcreations-LA I will try and let you know what I have found.

Hi .
Is Dell Precision T7610

good enough for vedio and foto editing ( Adobe products) in 2022 ?
Thanks in advance
Yes! And the good part is you can always add more memory, pop in a different GPU, or upgrade your processor as needed. That said, it really depends on the complexity of your work but for most applications what you have should be more than sufficient. Here is a use case scenario I found with a quick search. postperspective.com/review-dell-precision-7910-tower-workstation/

Hi buddy ... I've got the workstation but it doesn't has a HDMI port 🤔 to connect the dell monitor s2721q.!?
What shall I do now !?
@@goranahmed4680
If it has a GPU but one that doesn't have an HDMI port then you can get an adapter to fit your monitor to whatever input is available on the GPU. Perhaps the GPU only has a display port? That said, to connect a monitor, you will need a GPU. Hope that helps!
Wow man you are really amazing..thank you really thanks alot for responding so quickly..

Is T7910 compatible with Intel P3520's 2TB PCIE SSD's and also Samsung 960 PRO Series - 2TB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD with an M.2 PCIe SSD Adapter ?
Hi +Prashant Mundargi we don;t carry those M.2 cards but I will confirm the T7910 will support both dual and quad M.2 cards see specifications here and look under Storage Options www.itcreations.com/user-manuals/T7910/Dell_Precision_Tower_7000_Series_7910_Spec_Sheet.pdf Here is a link describing the Dell quad card that supports up to 4x 1TB M.2 dirves www.servethehome.com/the-dell-4x-m-2-pcie-x16-version-of-the-hp-z-turbo-quad-pro/ And here is a great response to a question on using M.2 as a boot device with the T7910 on Spiceworks that gets answered by Dell community.spiceworks.com/topic/1928166-dell-pcie-ssd-advice. All that said, I don;t see any reason why the cards you asked about shouldn't work but we have not, and cannot test without puirchasing, and Dell usually just wants to sell their proprietary products, which I can understand from a profit perspective. We have the T7910 in stock if you are looking for parts and components but again we don't have the specific M.2 storage devices you are asking about. See a few links in the description above. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
Hello IT Creation . I love your videos , very informative .. I have one query though related to older Dell T7810 model . Can you put PSU 1300W unit in Dell T7810 ? I have 825W which came with DELL T7810
Hi Arup,
I am not sure what that would do to your system. I don't thinks you can add the 1300W PSU without frying the system. If you do decide to try this (not recommended!!) we can sell you a t7910 or even a T7920 if you encounter problems! BTW, I saw your post on Green PC Gamers while researching your question. If you want to run 2x K6000 then you should be good to go with the 825W PSU as the specifications say you can install 2x GPUs with a power draw up to 300W each. The K6000 only uses 225W maximum power consumption, here: www.nvidia.com/content/PDF/data-sheet/NV_DS_Quadro_K6000_OCT13_NV_US_LR.pdf
Also check out our landing page. At the very bottom of the page are several Dell documents that may be of use including the spec sheet, which supports my claim above. goo.gl/McCdxj Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!
@@Itcreations-LA Awesome !!! Yes I posted over Green PC ... Many thanks to your prompt reply :) I will check this links
Just a question in the document it is mentioned "total 300W" .Two k6000 will go more then 400W .
In the past I have used quadro m6000 and quadro m2000 together in Dell t7810 . Later M6000 got burned.
@@arupsan
Oh crap! You are correct! Unfortunately. That is a combined total of 300W. So no, I suppose two of those are out of the question. Never a good idea to start answering questions when my coffee level is at zero.
Have you ever encountered errors where it fails to start and the fans go full blast? I turned it off and let it sit for 15 minutes and it started up just fine. Any idea what it could be?
Hi Icychainz,
Not specifically that scenario but I have turned a system only for strange things to occur. You definitely did the right thing restarting, not that there was another option… If it happens again write down as many details as possible about what happened before, during, and after the event. It is very hard to diagnose one time events but the more information you have the more information you can provide to whomever will diagnose the problem. Often you can look online with some of the characteristics of the crash and it's quite likely others have experienced it too. I'm going to chalk this up to a fluke, for now, but if it happens again drop us a message. Thanks for watching!
That's good for vfx and deep learning
Can you install the nvme directly onto the motherboard?
Hi @johndee759,
Nope, this MOBO does not accept an NVMe drive directly off the motherboard. The only way you can install an M.2 drive on this system is through the PCIe lanes using a PCIe card, like this: www.itcreations.com/product/101219
or this: www.itcreations.com/product/90696
Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!
@@Itcreations-LA thank you. Which successor models have nvme on the motherboard?
I am looking for nice workstation for IT work. I want to run virtualbox and VMware. I am looking for at least 64 gb of ram to start of with and later would want to be able to expand it to 256 gb ram. Also I want to have dual Xeon processor to go up to 24cores.
@@johndee759 If I am not mistaken none of them do. The newer workstations the T7920, T7820 and T5820 all have the option of installing M.2 drives in hot swap drive carriers that go in front drive cage. The T7920 will support up to 4 (I think) The others just two but you still have the options of installing the PCIe card with 1, 2, or 4 M.2 drives. but keep in mind, for full performance on those PCIe card drives you need a x4 electrical lane for each drive., so a x16 slot for a quad M.2 carrier Check out this video (Dell T7920) at about the 4:40 mark ruclips.net/video/jP65i_Iqml8/видео.html
@@johndee759 Check out our site www.itcreations.com we have Dell, HP, Lenovo, Tyan, and Supermicro workstations. All the CPUs, memory , storage and GPUS too.
I recently got this PC. This is so crazy they don't have a display port. You have to buy a graphics card.
That is correct. Unfortunately. But if you are buying a high-end workstation it is assumed you will be installing GPUs. Thanks for watching and commenting.
any ideas why this workstation might run slowly with microstation? is it possible to run any kind of test?!
HI hphoto, not sure why that would be the case knowing absolutely nothing about your system but have you tried using the Dell Precision Optimizer to get the best performance out of that program? Microstation is listed among the ISV certified programs. User to use that software when I worked at RTKL. Here is a link where you can download the performance optimizer and that may help with Microstation. www.dell.com/learn/us/en/19/campaigns/dell-precision-optimizer Hope that helps!
IT Creations, Inc. The Dell program seems to have helped! We think the problem was also having a pdf program assigned to only one user.
Fantastic! We give advice quite frequently but we don't always hear if it helped, so thanks for the update. Always liked Microstation better than AutoCAD, it seemed much more intuitive… If you need any new servers, workstations, or components check out IT Creations. We're located in Los Angeles but ship worldwide. Thanks for watching!
Release year?
Is the latest version
Dell T5810 ?
Whichever is newer ?
The dell t7910 is a step up from t7810. The t7920 out, but it costs 5000$minimum config.
Also the t5810 is older, and a slightly lower position in that generation
When you say at 4:18 that NVMe disks are four times faster than SATA SSD disks, unfortunately this is not the case in reality. The ASUS HYPER M.2 V2 works great, and really affordable, NVMe drives not a lot more expensive than SSD-s, but their speed in reality at least on the T7910 are only marginally faster than regular 6MBs SSD.
HI Mikolos, I wish you had given us that information a few years ago! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@Itcreations-LA Your content is as relevant today, mid 2020, as four years ago, absolutely. eBay and local refurbished server merchants offer thousands of these brilliant computers for half or one-third of the price as it was 4 years ago, I guess. So, all your old content is still interesting and being watched by home-lab enthusiasts, like me.
Nevertheless, I watched a hell lot of NVMe vs SATA/SSD comparisons videos, and 99% of the cases in reality, NVMe gives marginal performance boost. This was my case, too, to my slight disappointment, I even posted my video of installing Windows Server 2019 on a VM on an NVMe disk vs on a SATA/SSD disk. I am still seeking a computer setup where NVMe really gives any reasonable performance boost for general use cases. If you could publish videos about this topic, that would be really excellent.

Does this model support the GeForce series?
Hi there! Nvidia Geforce cards are not listed in their list of supported cards and have not been tested by Dell to run on this system. All that said, yea, GsForce cards should work just fine but they are geared more towards gaming, so no ECC. with a 1300W PSU this system is designed to support 3x high-performance cards up to 675W total power draw. The Nvidia GeForce 2080TI consumers about 260W and lists 675W as the minimum power supply for installation, so looks good! Here's a link to the specification sheet, and one to the Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080TI, which I chose at random given you did not specify which card you would like to install. goo.gl/3zSAH4 www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-rtx-2080-ti/specifications .

can we upgrade the pcrocessor in this, like i7 10 gen
Hi Vaseem, No, this board is not designed for that CPU architecture. In fact, even on the newer workstation systems, at least on the higher end from the manufacturers, rely on the enterprise-class Intel Xeon processors, in this case the Xeon E5-2600 v3 and v4 series, which have been replaced with Intel Xeon Scaleable processors on the new iterations of these systems like the T7920. There are a few lower end workstations offered by Dell, HPE and the others that use the Core X processors. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
@@Itcreations-LA Thank you very very much for replying.

Primary is work and secondary is gaming. Which one is durable for long term and fast. Please help.
@@Vaseem_opai If work related activities are primary, then go with the Xeon. Or you go with the i9 (ultra-fast gaming processor) which I would recommend if gaming is your primary use. Good luck on your purchase and thanks for watching!
@@Itcreations-LA Thank you for reply, highly obliged, one last question, can we play 4k game on xeon if rtx card added to it. So my both needs will be fulfilled.
@@Vaseem_opai Yes, you should be able to play at 4k, assuming you have a 4k monitor attached and your RTX card supports 4K. However, you may find that setting is not to your liking for rendering and frame rates in your games. So in a word, yes, but again you may find you like playing at lower resolution settings and higher frame rates. This is all very subjective and there are many variables in how fast your system will render frames and such, like explosions. the card is a major player in rendering frames but you will need a 4k monitor. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!
My TS600, after finish the Dell support and I didn´t renew... the computer became slow to start...I upgraded to win10 with the version that Dell indicated...but keep the same...now it takes 7 minutes to start. I thik that is HD...I wanna buy a SSD, but I not certain if the motherboard support SATA 3. Jesus.. In 7 minutes I make a kid!
I checked a few manuals online but was unable to find details of what your system supports, so I hesitate to recommend anything. However, to ensure compatibility either ask Dell or open up the laptop and read the specs directly off the drive and match those specs (at least for type of drive) and go from there. I don;t see any reason why there should not be a SATA SSD that will work with your laptop. I put one in my 11-year old Sony Vaio and it starts in under 30 seconds now. And SSD will make a dramatic difference. Good luck and thanks for watching!
@@Itcreations-LA Thank you for your fast answer. In fact my setup is a Desktop, not a laptop. Dell Precision T7600 ( sorry I put TS600 for mistake ). I gonna try to find the motherboard informations. Thank you!
@@jari173 That makes a whole lot of difference. Yes you can install either 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SSDs at 3Gb/s on that system (it is an older system and will not support 12Gb/s drives). Going to assume you have standard HDDs in there now. An SSD for your boot drive will provide a significant increase in performance. If you want to go 6Gb/s for SAS or SATA you will need a PERC as the internal HD/RAID controller will only support 3Gb/s. That said you can install a 6Gb/s drive on your system if you can find an inexpensive on that is for some unknown reason priced less that a 3Gb/s drive but it will function at th eloewr speed level (3Gb/s).

You did not provide any specifications for the system you are interested in purchasing but you can visit our site and shop for preconfigured systems by clicking the "Shop Now" button on this page goo.gl/3zSAH4 that will bring you to pages and pages and pages of preconfigured systems using different processors, memory, and storage options. Any purchase you make will have shipping costs and customs and duties costs to import into your country and I am not sure what that would be but that can be determined by the shipping company. The most basic configuration, on the first page of the link I provided above, shows the following configuration and is priced at $1959 dollars which translates to 134,514 Rupees and as mentioned, that price is in addition to shipping costs and Customs fees if they apply.

Hi Haruji,
It is very common for some of the manuals to be out of date. This system is compatible with both E5-2600 v3 and v4 processors, each of which supports different memory capacities and speeds. CPU releases used to be based on a Tic Toc schedule with the initial release supporting a certain GB capacity and then the release of the next gen usually includes not only the new processor but firmware and BIOS updates. The information presented in this video is somewhat out of date and even Dell does not always update their materials on a timely basis. Here are two links.
Here is a link to the outdated manual (soon to be updated, so this may not be the old one in just a few days…) we have on posted on our site, I think using the v3 CPUs or v4 CPUs without another firmware update, page 60:
