Part of me wouldn't mind having one of these, another part of me wonders what the idle power consumption is like and how much it would cost to run 24/7. Plus it's not a great machine for plex transcoding, which really defeats the purpose for me, I just love a chunky home lab though
Guess at idle power?
100W?
According to the Dell specs it's about 126W idle. So about $410 per year if it's on 24/365 and your electricity is 37c/kWh.
Is the ram ECC?
Yes, ECC RAM
can this have dual cpus btw? if so, is it easy to install myself or can I order it as an addition?
Only one socket on the board
Unless you really need a true NUMA system, e.g. you want to see if your supposedly thread-safe/lock-free code really works, you'd be better off spending the cash on a more modern single processor system with a high core count. Less power draw, far more compute.
What’s the equivalent core i5/i7 to this xeon?
Also is it compatible with win11 or needs to turn off cpu check?
i7 Extreme 5930K
i7-5820k
What is the PSU is it proprietary (how many watts and any 6 or 8 pin cables present)
6pin 685w and yes it is proprietary
I have a very similar system and you can buy modular cables for them, I think they're based on a silverstone power supply.
For what it's worth in my one with only an additional hard drive it would not power an RX580, it kept crashing. Not sure if it was a dodgy PSU or not
Pretty good price - was considering buying one of these off EBay a couple of months ago for a fair bit more than this but ended up going for something else because the CPU in this is quite power hungry - was looking for something with lower power draw for 24x7 running.
if you're running 24/7 you may notice a difference? would be minimal
If a more power efficient PC like the SFF ones uses ~40W less on average, that could save ~350kW a year.
Not too sure, would depend how this one goes.
Any chance of a restock, or a deal on the above?
will keep on adding if we get more.
Why? V3 already so so…. V2 would be….
Would this work for basic video editing on davinci resolve? Right now im using my yoga laptop 920 with i7-8550u and intel graphics 620.
Plus do you have 32 gb ECC RAM to go with this?
I think they would be populating all the slots to get 32gb unless they are using 16gb ddr3 EEC dims
Is it good for latest versions of Adobe Photoshop and Premier Pro?
Good price, tempting. But agreed on power consumption - with electricity prices, would need to justify the specs.
good for gaming if we chucked a video card in?
The CPU in it is pretty trash for gaming, look at a 6850k or 6950k theyre probably as good as youll get for the x99 motherboards
Thanks. Gonna give this one a miss.
CPU is plenty good for 1080p gaming and streaming. I daily drive this with M6000 Quadro gpu and it works great!
Personally i think it would be great for gaming coupled with something like a 1080. Compared to other x99 cpus which im still using for gaming, this has a high turbo speed and single core rating which on youtube looks to give even more fps then many other x99 cpus that have higher cores and threads, and by unlocking turbo boost it forces the cpu at 3.8ghz which greatly increases fps. Not to mention the potential to upgrade to something like e5 2698v3 with 16cores 32threads for only $50 which is insane value!
Should be able to get 18 cores or 22 cores from AliExpress cheaply

It's hard to find benchmarks but it kinda looks like that would only be slightly faster than a Ryzen 5 5500 that goes for $139 new.
yeah around a ryzen 5 5500 from memory but the ryzen would have better 1% fps lows etc which is more important at high fps imo, the thing is it would be hard to find a ryzen motherboard, non ecc ram etc for $200, so for an ultra budget build that has potential to upgrade x99 is still relevent, but yeah if your willing to spend a bit more ryzen is top dog.
know where to source cheap ddr4 rdimms?
looking for 2 x samsung 16gb 2400 sticks to match what I have, or 4 x 16 or over/any speed matching sticks to replace.
It has a GPU already. Nvidia K620 is old, but will run many games. (like a gt 1030?)
I doubt its worth upgrading. Get a newer CPU too if this isn't good enough.
Faster than gtx 650, worse than gtx 650 ti and GT 1030 (ddr5), probably on par with GT 1030 (ddr3)
Yeah bought this almost 2 years ago at 250 but without SSD with M2000 though. K620 I think is crap
Start up a bit slow…. Weird bios detect.
USB 2 and 3 connection without colours…. Typical dell on cost saving using old overstock. Will go with HP server than Dell
is it noisy?
They are if you're maxing the cpu load.
The CPU has no fan but super big heat sink.
Front has 2 or 3 big fan, normally running at slow speed
My T5810 default heatsink has a fan, see image here id be surprised if yours didnt too. Its between the two heatsinks
https://pbs-prod.linustechtips.com/monthly_2023_04/image.jpe…
Also the front fans seem to be 3 x 92mm server type fans
Is the RAM 2X16 or 4X8 GB?
Note it is ECC.
Could be either, I op in for 2x 16gb. Seller said will be slower but consume few watts less
Lithography 22 nm WOW … this thing inst even on inlets prehistoric 14nm process they used for 7 years.. its using the one from the birth of the cosmos

Sadly dell still make them until 2018
probably because the customer kept asking for them
when i worked defence utils govt. transport eng. these sorts of machines were common
Nice Kubernetes server but the power consumption will skyrocket lmao
Very disappointed with UnTech. They shipped me the wrong PC in my last order :(
Hi,
If you have already reached out to us, we'll fix your issues urgently. If not, you can pm me here and I can work this out for you.
I recently upgraded from a gtx1070 and it is just sitting there. Would i be able to fit it into this unit? i.e the pins/psu sufficient? thinking of making a gaming rig for son on the cheap
We have one lying around the office with a 1080 in it, I haven't seen it working personally but as far as I'm aware they used it as a VR demo box just fine.
Some of them did come with 1080, so yes it will work
I'll take one with a 1080 in it for $199 :)

Here's the original spec sheet with what options they had, it would change the PSU and a few things if you had different graphics/more disks. They could take up to an 825W PSU
They're not a standard sized PSU, so you'd have to source a legit one
It's actually hot swappable from the same model, we had over 20 at work which we decom'd and so parts were aplenty, less so after we never bought anymore post 2017
@Paudius: I'm aware, I've installed a stack of these over the years, although "hot swappable" might not be the right term with the T5810 since there's no secondary PSU to keep the PC up.
Just saying for the benefit of others, you can't just throw a random PSU in there.
@dav3: Sorry, you're right.. easily swappable to a proprietary supply common to the T5810 probably is the right term
Great machine and good value if you buy it for the right reasons: Quad-Channel Registered ECC memory, 40 PCIe lanes directly into the CPU, low latency, built quality…
The CPU is from the 1600 series, low core count but high clock speed. But compared to what's out now, the IPC is very very low, keep that in mind. The machine supports high core count CPU like 18 core 2699V3. IMO such a machine doesn't make sense with a 6-Core CPU as you are not getting high IPC and you are also not getting high multi-threaded performance.
But CPUs and RAM are fairly cheap, but then you are throwing money at an old platform, so think carefully what you want to do.
I have one of these that i got back in 2020. I've since upgraded it with a Xeon E5-2690 v3 12 core CPU and an AMD Radeon RX 6600 GPU. It runs ok.
The UEFI bios on this supports SSD NVMe boot using an NVMe SSD PCIe 3.0 adapter card with an NVMe SSD. It will boot as the operating system drive. I use a Gigiabyte NVMe PCIe 1TB SSD card with it booting into Windows 10. So that's a tip of you want to use NVMe with this grab a NVMe PCIe 3.0 card.

Nice bit of kit back when they came out, and still reasonably powerful. They're big heavy bastards though, I'd grab one if I actually had the room to put it somewhere.
