    Question Are you a brand loyalist?

    I guess so.. My first 2 GPU's were both Zotacs(current is a FE 2060S). My keyboards, mice and headset are Logitech, and my monitor is Asus. However I would purchase either Aorus, MSI, EVGA in certain areas without hesitation. (I also really dig how some certain cards look like ASRocks...

    Question T5500 Non-ECC ram with x5690?

    So I installed the new 3x4gbNoECC set and I kept getting the error message "Non ECC DIMMS not supported on this computer. System Halted." or something close to that. I do have the "latest" Dell bios (A18). Wondering if I should roll back to A17 or A16 and try again?

    Question T5500 Non-ECC ram with x5690?

    Interesting! I have been told (or have read) using all 6 slots on a triple channel setup would decrease CPU performance. I will either get 3-4gb sticks or 6-2gb sticks depending on the brand.

    [SOLVED] Uprading Dell Precision T3500

    Keep the W3680. I have a T5500 with the x5690 and a 1070. Does well in most titles and as a workstation. The case has a lot of proprietary connections so changing boards wouldnt be as simple as plug and play.

    Dell T5500 x5690 overheating problems

    I have a Dell T5500 I recently acquired and went through it, cleaned it up and re-pasted the heat sink (The good "office building" piece). Somehow my temps overall still sit about 51*C. When I run my game the CPU temps shoot up sky high into the 90*C range (At which point I turn it off.)... I...
