For those who are thinking about getting this pc, there are a lot of things you have to do to make it run well with good temperatures. You have to change the cpu cooler to a vtroo v5 cooler (this is plug and play). DO not buy 3200mhz ram because the board only supports 2933mhz ram and buying 3200mhz will only be a waste of money. If you are going to buy ram, make sure that the ram operates at specifically 1.2v. Also, buy a vrm heat sink so that it is regulated and does not overheat. Also, use the fans from the dell cpu heatsink and re-use it as an intake fan towards the bottom. (I have an i7-11700 with a 3070ti). With good cooling and upgrades, this can be the ultimate pc you own. Also, use hwinfo to control the fans.

i have purchased the same one as well , but this is my very first pc , i have no clue how to upgrade my pc , will you able to show me more detail about how to install all the parts ? 1) i can't find vetroo v5 , is Coolermaster Hyper-212X good enough ? do i need extra parts ( screw set ) to install the fan ? 2) i can't find vrm heat sink , maybe i can find some pre-owned one , but which part of the vrm should i install ? maybe i should get a big one , and then cover the whole lot . 3) i want to get a Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8gb 3200mhz ram , not sure i will support ? coz i will be 4x8 gb ram with difference frequency , include the stock one 4) which thermal compound should i get , price from $10-$50 which make me a little confuse .

The cooling is inadequate because the non-K models weren't designed to run at boost speeds for any prolonged length of time - that's how they can rate the TDP at only 65W. Intel's own stock cooling doesn't work any better. I wouldn't be surprised if the benchmark delta you're seeing is possibly the result of some difference in motherboard/bios settings in addition to aftermarket cooling. The performance you're experiencing is pretty much what it's designed to give.

If the CPU is hitting 86c when booting and opening a few simple apps? Sounds like they didn't apply the thermal paste properly. I mean the cooler is obviously insufficient but even then the temps spiking at such low usage levels often means poor contact between the cooler and the CPU's IHS. In some odd cases it could also mean that the CPU's IHS is not flat enough and thus it hinders the cooler's performance.

It sounds like upgrading the cooling or somehow pushing work onto the graphics card rather than cpu is what I need to do. This has given me a tentative peace of mind that I'm extremely grateful for!

As an aside: just because a machine is using 4 RAM sticks doesn't make it "quad channel" it's still "dual channel", just using 2 sticks per channel (interleaved). A true "quad channel" setup is something HEDT (High-End Desk Top) grade like Threadripper. Those "require" 4 sticks (in the same vein that "regular" machines "require" 2 sticks to work at maximum potential).
@davidg5898

Great review, as always. I don't know why stock coolers are still such complete garbage. It's definitely not quad channel RAM. Only server grade processors can do quad channel ram (like intel's X series and AMD's Threadripper and Epyc series). True quad channel motherboards usually have RAM slots on both sides of the processor. What happens when you have 4 sticks of RAM otherwise is that it still runs in dual-channel mode but, depending on the motherboard's architecture, the RAM is either accessed daisy-chained (each pair of sticks' memory addresses are treated as if they were one much larger stick, better for stable overclocking) or T-topology (each pair of sticks are dealt with in parallel, generally faster than daisy-chained).

Mine has the m.2 but there is a cage up top as well if you have an SSD. On a bench it will put to 100 but dropped my games into the 75C range for the cpu and the GPU stays roughly the same with the case shut.

UPDATE: ordered the Dell XPS 8940... similar to this one you reviewed but mine on order has the i9 processor (2.5 and 5.2 GHz) and the 3070 graphics card. Everything else the same.... I'll look into the fan issue when it arrives. Hopefully, it's been resolved but this isn't the first video that talks about questionable cooling.

i7 11700 doesn't have quad channel memory. You can't get quad channel memory with any current consumer processor. Quad channel or higher is only currently available on HEDT or server/workstation class CPUs. Just because there are 4 DIMMs doesn't mean there are 4 memory channels.

Not bad Dell has it priced at $1899. Taking everything into account, if you can hold out until next year it may be $200 cheaper once things stabilize. Either way it's a gamble.

How many Watts is that stock DELL PSU?? My DELL Optiplex 8940 came with an i7 10700, SSD, 16gb DDR4, 1660 super GPU and a 500w PSU. These Optiplexes are touted to be able to support a 3080 GPU with its 500w PSU. Im thinking about upgrading my 1660 Super to a RTX 3060 or RX6650. I also added 8x2 more DDR4 for a total of 32gb. and I added heatsinks to the VRMs as well as replaced the stock cooler with a much larger Noctua cooler. My Optiplex has been a nightmare for me since day 1. I had to replace the gpu within the first year and if it goes into sleep mode there is a big chance that it will lose ALL audio until its restarted multiple times or reinstall windows. And I just had to buy a USB 3.0 Ethernet Gigabit adapter because the adapter built in took a crap on me, NO UPLOAD. I suppose there is a lemon in every batch.

The problem is you can't. The cooler screws into the case itself. Optimum Tech replaced the exhaust fan with a 92mm rad and liquid cooled the CPU.

A quick note on the cooler: I'm planning on doing a video review of the updated cooler I bought from Amazon. It is a Vetroo V5 that I snagged for $30 and I had no issues fitting it to my XPS 8940, dropped temps by 15C, so I max the i7-10700 out at 100% rendering video and it doesn't top 86C now.

Doing 55 fps in Cyberpunk 2077 with RT is respectful and is matching Series X Performance, isn't it? But I never heard in your videos if you use DLSS with RT, because it boosts the fps noticeably. But you should not use DLSS Performance mode with 1080p because it renders the images with 540p then (if I understood DFs videos correct). Also 12 Gigs of VRAM is very generous of nVidia, isn't it? It would be amazing if you would show the expansion possibilities according to HDDs/ SSDs as well with such prebuilds! Are there 2 - 4 SATA power cables on the PS? How many SATA ports does the mainboard have? Since I've got a bunch of smaller SSDs laying around I would probably order a lower spec model and expand storage with these SSDs.

Dell PSUs are rock solid, they deserve credit for them. Also, ATX is a terrible PSU form factor, so I completely understand why so many companies depart from it.
