    Was building something similar for a friend.. made some changes for cheaper bits and the Dell works out to be a pretty good deal if you need wireless and some bits and pieces.

        per above link - 326w
        460w is more than enough even at 80% efficiency that's still a 40-50w buffer.

        • Circly on 04/04/2017 - 00:15

          How long would it take for it to get down to 80% efficiency?

          You're misinterpreting efficiency. All 460w power supplies are required to produce 460w. Otherwise it would be false advertising. This power supply has over 130w buffer.

          Efficiency tells you how much power it pulls from the wall socket to produce that power. It tells you how efficient that power supply is at converting AC power from your wall socket to DC power that all your computer components require.

          Ie. At 80% efficiency, a 460w power supply at full load will pull 575w from your wall socket.

          At 90% efficiency, a 460w power supply at full load will pull around 511w from your wall socket.

          Usually it's not as clear cut as this as efficiency is usually a curve. Most power supplies are more energy efficient at half load than they are at full load. Some of the bigger brands can supply more power than they're rated for.

          @Circly: could be any number of things. Could be general wear and tear on the components. On my old Silverstone power supply, the thermal paste between some of the components and the heatsink became dry and they lost contact, causing it to overheat. Took it apart and changed all the thermal paste on all the heatsinks and it stopped crashing.

      My concern would be more so the fact that it is a proprietary power supply that you cannot purchase a replacement for. If it's out of warranty and it fails, what are your options? I am emailing Dell to find the answer, their chat guys/bots cannot help in this case.

      Or am I seeing it all wrong and it's a generic power supply, just attached to a movable rail?

        See dangernoodle's comment above, if it says 460W it should be able to supply 460W regardless of efficiency.

        Some really cheap power supplies will advertise their peak output rather than their constant supply output, but I don't think that's very common.

  • leetec on 04/04/2017 - 01:55

    Video card demanding high and stable AMP, just looking at 460 wattage is not enough to justify, but 460W with 1070 will not last long for hardcore gaming is for sure.

    • XeKToReX on 04/04/2017 - 06:13
      +8

      I have a 6 core i7 and a gtx1070 and I only draw about 380w from the wall with both the CPU and GPU overclocked, this is fine, it'll be a quality PSU.

      • leetec on 04/04/2017 - 13:07

        sure thing is you and the others down voter don't bother with what I explain, you guy don't care about amp output, don't care about component degradation. Do you guys ever read the video card specification carefully? wattage is not the only power requirement.

        • XeKToReX on 04/04/2017 - 14:09
          +3

          Well, amperage is literally tied to voltage and wattage, so definitely considering that..

          From what I can tell (if it's the same as the XPS 8910) this PSU has 3 x 12V rails capable of 216W, 192W and 96W

          GPU has a TDP of 150W

          CPU has a TDP of 65W

          2TB drives look to have a power draw of around 6.5-10W

          M.2 SSD's appear to use up to 7W

          Rest of your components shouldn't use any more than around 50W

          At this point you're drawing around 282W - 61% of the maximum of the 460W power supply.

          I'm sure it'll be sweating bullets, mate.

      +3

      People just don't seem to be able to get used to the idea that modern gaming PCs don't actually need that much power.

      Traditionally, you'd need an 800W PSU to run a fast CPU and enthusiast-level gaming GPU, plus the massive cooling system to keep the heat under control. But that's all changed in the past couple of years, and now even the most powerful gaming GPUs only use 250W.

      It will take a little time until everyone adjusts, but it's funny to watch in the meantime.

      • EnALup on 04/04/2017 - 10:07

        now even the most powerful gaming GPUs only use 250W

        What is your source Comment above from XeKToReX stated similar spec PC takes 380 W. My 1 year old PC also takes around 350W while gaming. Will be surprised to see 250W in current scenario unless you are talking about future.

        • klaw81 on 04/04/2017 - 10:52
          +4

          I was talking about the GPU alone. The GTX 1080 Ti, currently the most powerful gaming GPU on the market, only uses a maximum of 250W at full load. (For comparison, the GTX 1070 uses 150W, and AMD's top card of 2012 used 575W under full load)

          The rest of the system also requires power. The CPU, motherboard, RAM, fans and hard drives also have power requirements. Total power usage for a modern gaming system is usually 300-400W, and even heavily-overclocked systems with lots of fans etc still max out at around 550W.

        • donnot on 04/04/2017 - 10:53

          klaw81's comment was just talking about the power consumption of the GPU, and not the whole system.

        • twocsies on 04/04/2017 - 11:18

          @wangsk: I agree that some niche applications might do well with this computer. However, it seems a stretch to say, "most who use this would be businesses" if he's talking about the computer. CAD should use a proper workstation GPU. (my pet peeve is bosses that overspec computers and dream that it's still nice in six years from now).

          So that's why I made the edit. I think it means most who use the warranty are businesses, which makes sense.

        • klaw81 on 04/04/2017 - 15:13
          +1

          @twocsies: Workstation GPUs are a huge rort perpetuated by manufacturers for their own profit, and they're utterly unnecessary for the vast majority of CAD users. The cited benefits in accuracy, stability and performance are massively overstated. Gaming-class GPUs (especially Nvidia ones) are highly suitable for very heavy CAD workloads. A workstation with a $1200 1080 Ti easily out-performs the same machine with a $1200 Quadro card.

          My gaming rig at home, which cost about a third of the price of my workstation PC at the office, compares very favourably in the same CAD tasks and to date has been more stable and reliable. I would happily use a system like this Dell for my work.

    This is ~$200 cheaper than the build I have ready to buy at PC Part Picker, with very similar specs. That build doesn't even include an i7, Win 10 Pro, Wifi, Mouse/Keyboard, or a DVD Drive.

    I do have 'branded parts', a nicer case and slightly bigger PSU tho.

    For hobby video editing, this or a used hp z800 (or even 600)?

    • klaw81 on 04/04/2017 - 15:18
      +2

      Depends on the specs on the Z800, since they vary a lot.

      I wouldn't worry too much about the colour, it's an utterly miniscule factor in heat retention.

      Modern PCs don't actually make much heat because they don't use that much power. This Dell would use no more than about 350W under full load, so that's a relatively small amount of energy to dissipate.

      • jerum3030 on 04/04/2017 - 22:36

          +1

          I'm not sure what parts of the Z800 builds are allegedly "server grade" or if it really means anything at all.

          Workstation PCs usually have good cable management, solid cases with tool-less drive cages and more elaborate cooling systems, but they're still mass-produced products that come off an assembly line, just like everything else, and they still have occasional failures. We have a ton of HP workstations at the office and a few of them have had fans that stop working, failed PSUs and the like. I certainly wouldn't be paying extra for a Z800 on that basis.

          At the same time, I have a few relatives who've been using the same consumer-grade Dell desktop since Vista was first launched, and they're still working fine as a kid's schoolwork machine and media player.

  • The Terratronie on 04/04/2017 - 15:25

    6gb ram and Core i7 920 LGA1366

    everytime he loaded a game the pc would just turn off! that gpu sucked over 600W and was conected to molex power splitters because the psu was $20 chinese fire hazard ..now compare that to GTX1070 power efficiency in 2017, you can get away with murder!

    Also Dell wouldn't allow you to pick a 1070 if it wasn't validated first..

      There's running and then there's running with plenty of head room for future upgrades, overclocking, stable voltages, minimal ripple and low temps/fan noise…Just because things still turn on and haven't caught fire yet doesn't mean they're working within tolerances.
      Also PSU's slowly produce less usable power over time as they age from use.
      FYI PSU's tend to achieve peak efficiency at 50-60% utilization (so ideally that's how much of the PSU you want to be using when maxing out your PC).

      Yeah, I ordered one and was a little disappointed with the delivery times. I might of missed it, but it seems like you only get the ETA after you've paid for it which, in my eyes, is a little bit sneaky.

        Agreed, it's very sneaky. Especially when on the page it says it ships in "1 to 3 business days" and when you click on the delivery estimate, it says "2 to 3" business days unless it's a "made to order" system which you'd assume this isn't. So it seems like it should be 3-6 business days at worst and instead it's 10+.

      Got an update on my order status — "In transit, expected delivery date: 11/04/2017"

        I've just checked mine and it's In transit but still has an expected delivery date of 18th to the Brisbane CBD :(

      • xjcs88 on 07/04/2017 - 17:17

        Any update mate?

        • Raihoo on 07/04/2017 - 19:29

          No update for me. You're also supposed to be able to view your invoice 48 hours after it has been shipped. I still can not get my invoice and it has been shipped for well over 48 hours now.

          To be honest, I find the whole Dell website and experience to be quite clunky.

        • xjcs88 on 11/04/2017 - 09:50

          @Raihoo: my order is still 'In Transit' without any carrier information.

        • Raihoo on 11/04/2017 - 11:31

          @xjcs88: That's annoying! I'd rather have a later accurate estimation than a closer inaccurate one. That said, yours might still come! And mine might not be accurate making me wait another few weeks!

        • xjcs88 on 11/04/2017 - 11:58

          @Raihoo: Yes it's very annoying.

          I moved to Melbourne 2 years ago. And what makes me annoying is the online shopping and delivery. I lived in China before, you know, it might has the best courier in the world and Taobao / JD online retails. So I always do shopping online, it's very quick and safe.

          But now, sometimes I have already forgotten the item when I got my delivery… Sad face.

          Anyway, hope our XPS desktops would come soon.

        • Raihoo on 11/04/2017 - 17:02

          @xjcs88: Mine is now with local carrier and I have a tracking number. It's in Homebush and needs to get to Brisbane.

          The tracking info doesn't really make all that much sense to me, as it states the Scheduled Departure as 17/04 and the Scheduled Arrival as 06/04. I'm going off the assumption that the scheduled departure is according to keep track of schedule, so if it departs before then, they're ahead! The Scheduled Arrival I'm putting down to a typo ore really bad field name as that's probably about the date I ordered it.
