[SOLVED] How to improve Dell T7500 Workstation?

[KingKoldGaming]

I just stumbled onto a Dell Xeon 5670 T7500 for around 50.00 USD. Is there any way to beef up this system? I already put a GTX 1660 ti in it.

Honestly that is still do this day a pretty beefy little workbench besides a GPU (which you have already done) there is not much you can do realistically. You already have the top of the line CPU for that socket and a ton of ram maybe just add an ssd?

Sorry forgot to list Specs.
SSD: Sandisk SSD Ultra 3D 500GB
CPU: Xeon 5670
Cooler: Stock
RAM: 12 GB ECC 1.8GHZ Memory
GPU: 1660 ti

So like you said. I'm guessing that realistically besides adding more RAM and the SSD. There is really nothing more I can do. Got it.

There are 6 core X5680, X5690, and 4 core X5687 cpus that are faster. The memory controller is on the CPU so 1333 will be your RAM speed. Be sure and stay with 3 channel RAM setups. You could add a 2nd CPU if you want to.

Where would I do that? It seems this dell precision has the power, but not the socket for another CPU.

There is an add on riser with extra RAM slots and CPU cooler and RAM blower. the one for the T7500 is taller I think than the T5500 version.
