Dell Precision T3500

Hello, I am looking to put together a cheap gaming rig - and it seems getting a used workstation and upgrading it is the cheapest way to do so. I already own a GTX 1660 Super so the PC would have to be able to handle that. I've previously owned a T3500, which was good for a few years, but...

I have a X5650 Xeon running at 45 degrees Celsius idle. I want to reduce the temperature. I changed thermal paste but I want to also configure it so its cooler. I've heard HT can increase temperatures by 8-10 degrees on modern CPUs but I am willing to try disabling it on mine to see how much...

I used to tinker with them using Speedfan back in the day but stopped as the program bugged out on me once but they never speed up now. I’m gonna reinstall a fresh Windows soon hopefully that sorts it out. Anybody’s T3500 fans not changing speed?

I have had Precision T3500 for about 10 years. About 5 years ago, system properties began reading out total memory 8GB (I bought it with 12GB RAM), so I removed the defective module and left everything else untouched. Since then the machine gives the following message every time I boot it up...

Hi! I want to add 2 80X80 fans for my t3500, but I have only one fan header slot available ( I don't want to connect fans DIRECTLY to PSU since I want to make use of PWM). I know there are fan header Y splitters, but I don't know if my motherboard can take 2 fans at one fan header (I couldn't...

Hi there So my dell t3500 (motherboard module: 09kpnv) keeps shutting down every now and then I researched the issue and found out that it's because of the northbridge getting too hot (its a known issue in this model) I confirmed that as the northbridge heatsink is too hot for the touch I want...

I was upgrading motherboards, but want to keep the same HDD. Do I just need to do a complete reinstall on Win 8.1 using the "remove everything and reinstall windows" option? After that i wipe the HDD, will it still have Win 8.1 on it? Can I reuse the same Product key?
