    Hi guys and gals…. help please.

    I just bought this exact same one with rtx 2070 few weeks ago. Un opened in yhr box as I have been away. Then that exact same one goes on a discount (250 bucks cheaper). And now this new one… with 3070.

    Do you think given its past 15days Dell return policy, can I return the old one and get this new one.?

    Thanks in advance…I dont have buyers remorse… its just..cheaper and more next generation nvidia card.

    Thank you.

    • ln28909 on 25/11/2020 - 18:04

      Dell eBay has a 30 days change of mind return

        With a restocking fee

            @ln28909: Thanks bud…. I think just out of 30 days… it was bought and then took some time to arrive and I was away. Thanks. But would appreciate that email.

        • lukethefish on 25/11/2020 - 19:29

          Pretty sure the Dell eBay listings say free 30 day returns which means 30 days after delivery and the seller pays for return postage. In this case eBay will not let them get away with not refunding the full amount.

          • kt190 on 25/11/2020 - 22:29

            @lukethefish: So should I initiatw the return on ebay or wait for Dell to accept the return in an email. Cutting it close… delivery date was 28 oct.. lol.

  • MrKingi on 25/11/2020 - 18:02

    Unfortunately im not well versed in the PC field. It seems the majority are claiming its an awesome deal. Whether they are praising the deal based on work purposes or gaming purposes, I have no idea. Is this capable of handling gaming and streaming at the same time? Also what is an acceptable upload speed for streaming? I am with telstra and i get 50 down and 16 up. Thanks

    • AssociatedKeRRR @ Dell on 25/11/2020 - 18:04

      This is very capable as a workhorse, gaming and streaming at the same time. I would definitely recommend nbn 50/25 at the minimum for simultaneously streaming and gaming.

    Wow, if I was looking for a full box, this would be a very sweet deal for me. As it is, it's still a great deal for anyone who is….

  • UrbanLegend on 25/11/2020 - 18:10

    For such a powerful system, 16GB of RAM seems oddly low. With Dell possibly using OEM modules, getting 32GB of RAM will likely mean getting rid of the 2 existing modules. = money lost

    • BushwickBill on 25/11/2020 - 18:25

      32 gb = $150. Not the worst outcome…

      • lukethefish on 25/11/2020 - 19:33

        Exactly -y ou can't really say you're paying Dell tax on the existing 16 GB when the price of the components seperately is at least as much as this deal.

  • Bundybogan on 25/11/2020 - 18:33

    Just watched the marketing video on this bad boy… claims "Infinite Upgradability" around the 16 second mark when showing the cooler being put in place.. go into the customise/buy options on the dell site and sure enough their is no upgradability options to the internals lmao classic DELL!

    • lukethefish on 25/11/2020 - 18:50

      Yeah, DIY upgradeability.

      They got rid of customisable builds some years ago.

  • bevo on 25/11/2020 - 18:52

    Damn Dell for listing a same-build-but-2070S-card sucker deal the day before, to get rid of their old cards.

    Trying to cancel so I can buy this instead, but their customer service fobbed me off until tomorrow and they aren't responding to my ebay message.

    I guess I could just buy this and then assume I can get the other cancelled, but I'm not game to get stuck with both…

    • [Deactivated] on 25/11/2020 - 19:01

      You have the 30 day return policy so it'll be in their best interest to just cancel the last order instead of going through the rigamorale :)

      Valid for 5 days, wait it out

        Is there a risk though that this gets sold out?

      They can take up to 48hrs to respond. Just contact ebay seller and await a reply. If they haven't shipped it prior to your comment, you are entitled to a refund/return.

    • lukethefish on 25/11/2020 - 19:35

      You won't get stuck with both since Dell eBay do free 30 day returns.

    • bevo on 26/11/2020 - 00:19

      Pulled the trigger and sent a message to cancel the previous order.
      Cheers for the advice here.

  • nonreg on 25/11/2020 - 18:55

    Any way to know what motherboard this is? And whether it is compatible with higher speed RAM? Should I be concerned about gaming and streaming on this with a 500w PSU? And is there a way to know what brand PSU? Thanks.

      No, no, maybe, no.

      they are all OEM parts, so the brand is Dell. And concern, yes, but, with some tweaking, you should still have a stable system, though may underperformed compared to other systems of similar specs

  • love2buy on 25/11/2020 - 19:12

    Is this overclockable?

      Computationally heavy scripts?

  • Gupppy on 25/11/2020 - 19:47

    Hey first time poster, long time viewer.

    I have an older Alienware Area 51 R2 system which I love, but is getting a bit slow with the 6800k and older components.
    I’ve always wanted to upgrade it but because of the propriety dell parts it’s almost impossible. However, I saw this bargain and thought I could drop the dell motherboard and components from this 8940 into the A51 case (which has awesome cooling and 1000w psu).

    Does anyone see a problem I am missing with this plan before I pull the trigger?

    • raybies on 25/11/2020 - 19:53
      +1

      If you're handy with a dremel, soldering, tap and die pull the trigger.

      • Gupppy on 25/11/2020 - 20:15

        Ha! Gunna be a bit of a challenge I think. I’m hoping dells weird PSU pin outs haven’t changed. If still the same it shouldn’t be too bad. Done plenty of standard builds so this will be an more interesting Xmas holiday build! Don’t think I’ll need to pull out a dremmel or solder kit though. If I have to reset with tap and die I’ll give up and put them back together!

        • raybies on 26/11/2020 - 00:39

          They use ATX connector.
          Off set screws will probably be in a different location (drill, tap n die).
          Wires might need be longer (soldering).

          My plan: ikea pc cupboard + 2 x 20cm fans… open case.

  • Doomedgrind on 25/11/2020 - 19:48

    Don't you hate those Dell motherboards that have the damn usb and front panel ports built into the motherboard?

      It'll probably have 1 hdmi and 3 dp ports. That's the standard on 3070

    Thanks OP, purchased.

    What hasn't been mentioned is the physical size of the unit - it's comparatively tiny for what it's packing. That is a big plus for those short on desk space like myself. Could even sling it under a desk.

    Yes I know this factor doesn't bode well for cooling but hoping Dell's bragging about optimised airflow keeps things from melting too much..

  • maxbon on 25/11/2020 - 20:15

    A 500W PSU for a 10700K and RTX 3070 seems slightly underpowered.

    • Gupppy on 25/11/2020 - 20:19

      Yep I recon you’d need to be careful adding components that draw power or any overclocking at all.
      Makes me wonder why the “k” variant of the cpu is even there.
      Pity we can’t request upgrade parts like on the dell website - I guess it’s 2K for a reason!

          It has 4 x udimm slots and can handle a total capacity of 128gb. So yes you can use 32gb sticks if you wish.

          • tabletop12 on 25/11/2020 - 21:30

            @LiMaaa: Which RAM brand and model would you recommend that would be compatible with this PC? I have read that it is a 2 x Hynix 3200Mhz 8GB CL22. Those appear to be hard to come across. I've bought one and would like to upgrade with an additional 2 x 8GB.

            • AssociatedLiMaaa @ Dell on 25/11/2020 - 21:56
              +4

              @tabletop12: These are the memory configurations that are supported.

              ● 8 GB, 2 x 4 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM,
              dual-channel
              ● 8 GB, 1 x 8 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM
              ● 16 GB, 2 x 8 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM,
              dual-channel
              ● 16 GB, 1 x 16 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM
              ● 32 GB, 1 x 32 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM
              ● 32 GB, 2 x 16 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM,
              dual-channel
              ● 64 GB, 2 x 32 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM,
              dual-channel
              ● 64 GB, 4 x 16 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM,
              dual-channel
              ● 128 GB, 4 x 32 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM,
              dual-channel

              NOTE: The computer is shipped with 3200 MHz memory. However, with Intel Core i3/i5 processors, it is limited to
              2666 MHz. With Intel Core i7/i9 processors, it is limited to
              2933 MHz.

              So to answer your question, as long as the memory you're buying is udimm (unregistered buffered memory), which most consumer memory is and fits in with those configurations it will work fine. There is no need buying anything over 3000mhz because the speed will be wasted. Corsair vengeance lpx or crucial ballistix are great memory and frequently on sale.

              If I were buying I'd look at corsair or crucial, 2 x 16gb 3000mhz memory with perhaps a timing of CL15 to get the best bang for my buck.

                  @1shot1hit: No idea tbh, I'd assume it's something to do with dual channel vs quad channel and stability in those configurations.

        You can run 4k on the 3070 @ 60fps, you may have to limit some games to medium-high settings, depending on how demanding those games are.

      All Dell products come with a standard one-year Manufacturer's warranty.

    • AssociatedKeRRR @ Dell on 25/11/2020 - 21:58

      If you have issues with the system, you are covered by Dell's 1yr warranty. If it's a change of mind, I believe you have 30 days to return the product, although there may be shipping/restocking fees involved.

      Any reputable brand should work, e.g Crucial, Hynix, Samsung, Kingston, GSkill, etc

      In my 30 years of using PC, I have yet to encounter a set of RAM purchased from a reputable store (e.g MSY, Centrecom) that doesn't work with my various custom-built or
      vendor built PCs.

      From what's been said 4 x 8GB isn't supported, so can't throw in another 2 X 8GB. Seems stupid, since it's able to take 4 x 16GB, or 4 x 32GB.
