Nice timing for an used Dell T5820? 

First mistake using user benchmark

As someone who has flipped dozens of these after decommissioning them... Take a drill, and go down the side panel and just barley touch all the little weld spots on the GPU bracket, then take a flat head screw driver and it pops off, door handle still works, and side panel closes. They have had some variation of that bracket thing from the T3600 on.

Thank you so much for introducing me to these machines, affordable bargains with great upgrade options. Very affordable 3d workstations with the addition of a decent graphics card. You’ve won a subscriber!

The soundtrack to the video is very pleasant. Well done!

Nice and relaxing video! I've always found these chunky Dell workstations so interesting, such versatile machines!

Excellent breakdown and overview video of this workstation model with pros and cons included. Kudos to the thoroughness of your cleaning and refurbishing of this unit.

Excellent video! I have 3 of these machines myself and love them. With regards to the GPU size, you can actually remove the black plastic cover on the side panel and install taller GPUs.

Gorgeous build! OEM servers like this are a great base for affordable workstations.

thats a really well built and clever design, thnak you for sharing. nice video !

This got into my recommended feed. Good job scoring it and gaining a new subscriber!

I just bought the exact same tower, configured differently. Nothing like a getting a Xeon workstation at a great price and in good condition. Thanks for sharing.

I got a 5810 but this looks super modular and nice!!!

Awesome Video, keep it rollin!

The "GPU support bracket" is kinda useless. It's meant for bracing "full-height" cards (the same height as the PCIe bracket) in shipping, but unless you're using a stock Dell GPU with the lip at the end, it just guarantees the GPU will rip the socket off the board first. It's fine to just remove it. It's held in with a few spot welds you can easily drill without leaving noticeable damage on the interior panel. Sometimes you can give it a sharp tug and it'll come off too.

That's a solid PC! Great cleanup!

Thanks for the salvage coverage very complete. mb

I have been using one from 2013 as my main rig for awhile now and it still surprises me how good these machines can be for so long

That CD drive is actually really nice for people who have a collection of old games.

A lot of fun !!!!!!! Thanks for sharing

Nice build! I've worked on the Precision T5820, T7820 and T7920 workstations in the past. Would be fun to see you check out a multi-CPU 7820 or 7920!

i donno why, but i love just looking to old workstations your video pleased me thank you

Nice video! I'm a fan of Dell refurbs myself. Probably because I was a Dell warranty repair tech years and years ago. Although I'm very happy with my Optiplex 7010 I wouldn't mind getting a Precision.

When the pandemic lockdowns hit I decided to grab a new machine and between PC parts being unobtanium at the time and HP and Lenovo workstations being sold for more than they were worth I grabbed myself a T5810 for like $300. Served me well as a workstation until I got a new machine built then with an upgraded (E5-2678 V3 ) CPU served me well as a server. Currently trying to decide what to do with the old workhorse as I've gone down the home lab rabbit hole and have thrown everything in a rack but truth is I could still be using the Dell as my main workstation. Great machines considering the prices you can get them for used (though swapping the fans and/or replacing the CPU cooler might be needed).

Great video. I just bought one of these last month from the Dell Refurbished site (with that 50% off coupon that has been there forever it seems). II know it's overkill, but 'm using my T5820 6-core machine for my AV command center (to replace a very noisy old Dell workstation laptop that was getting on in years) . It came with a BD player, but I had to buy software to play Blu-Rays as well as needing to buy a DP to HDMI active converter...ugh. That being said, the picture on my display looks incredible after tweaking the NVIDIA control panel settings. And it is whisper quiet. Joy!

According to the EVGA website, the card used in this video has a height of 139.3 mm, that's probably a good metric for others to keep handy when shopping for GPUs.

Thx for the vid, I was considering upgrading from my Z640 with E5-1640 V4, and RTX 2070, to a Lenovo P520 with a W-Xeon. I will hold off for now the performance is very close. Your User benchmark gaming score was only 2% higher than mine.

I picked up one of these with an i9 9th Gen in it, just makes win 11 support. Fortunately mine came with the original dell x4 nvme pci expansion card.

Beautiful machine

@11:58 the black thing touching the GPU can be easily removed and you will have no problem with wider video cards.

Very good Dora, good builds expect to last about 10~15 years...depends what are used for...😊

Absolutely love these Dell precision workstations. I was lucky enough to pick up three 7820s that had the dual-CPU trays paired with two pairs of Xeon Silver 4110 and a pair of Xeon gold (Can't remember the skew) as well as 96GB of ram each and Quadro P2000s. Picked each system up for only $50 since the business was upgrading and planned to scrap them, the only downside was not letting me keep the SSD's but I can understand why.

Cool video 👍

I love my old Precision, the hardware is so well built. Unfortunately I don’t have a good use for it but I can’t get rid of it either.

Seu vídeo foi extremamente satisfatório, adorei assistir todo conteúdo que por sua vez ficou muito bem detalhado. Agora superou a minha vontade de comprar um CPU deste mesmo modelo. Abraços 🇧🇷

Sadly we dont have these types of machines in in our country turkey 🇹🇷 😢 Neverthless, i love dell machines

Domo arigato. I like your taste in music. And in hardware. I will buy this instead of T7810.

Great video

I just setup one of these for my boss with 2 RTX 3060's. Oh my goodness was it quiet. Thinking of getting one as my new workstation.

So Great!

Nice! I just got a T5810 to replace my T3610, and this video makes me jealous. Mainly the dual-8 pin for GPU power (having 2x6 or 1x8 really limits my GPU options), but all the other advances like all of the front-panel USB being 3.0, the much better PCIe cooling, all of the rear USB being 3.0, four drive bays instead of 2 and all of them hot-swappable, the much easier to access CPU/RAM shroud (though I also paid $100 for the base 5810... with no CPU or RAM). I have to admit though that case intrusion thing seems maddening, having it both shut off the PC and have no way to disable it while it blares an alarm in your ears. I had the cover off half the time while I was testing/getting up my 5810 and that would have driven me crazy. But it definitely has a lot of upgrades I wished mine had. Oh, and that ridiculously overpriced M.2 adapter instead of just plain having M.2 ports on the motherboard is asinine, glad that you can just use a M.2 to PCIe adapter card.

Honestly this seems like an ideal budget setup

I was delighted to come across your video and know that I can upgrade on my own my T5820 that I bought with a small P2000 and replace it with a RTX 4070 using those 8 pin connectors. One doubt, my CPU is a XEON W2145 Do you know if it can be upgraded to the refresh version W2245. Dell does not say anything, but as they are of the same architecture I would assume that yes, but officially there is no news from DELL.

The quad channel memory access easily makes up for 2666MHz memory, always a bonus with Xeon CPUs.

Those extra fan connectors (probably among other things) seem to be populated on the larger version, the T7820. Just telling from a picture search for T5820 & T7820...

I'm getting kinda late to this video, but the build and also video is wonderful! At the moment I'm rocking a custom gaming full rgb pc, damn I mis using a server as my main right there is just something about workstations that it so wonderful.

This is an excellent and powerful machine. It will be a nice upgrade from my HP Z440

What one has to do to modify and shape a pre-assembled desktop PC. For my part, I am very satisfied to leave my HP TG01 with all the possible modifications. You have a PC of excellence, I congratulate you.

hey, great video. i have a question, what is the power consumption under full load?

Nice work, good video. I just picked up a T5820, can you go over the Samsung 980 NVMe PCIe M.2 1TB & PCIe adapter you purchased? Trying to figure out what to buy and load windows 10 on it.

Don't vacuum electronics as static can build up and kill them.

This is a (nearly) exact workstation of the same date and serviable period of my still current unit and has been my most reliable CAD workhorse ever. My next system will always be a DELL standard build becasue of this. You pay a little more at first but overall always works out cheaper.

Nice!

How’s gpu cooling? Getting same temp on mine, but fans run at 3k. Mine 5810 by the way, was thinking to replace front fans with silent ones and increase speed like you did :)

Nice box for s home NAS 😃

Crying in my corner with my baby blue RX 590.

I just wish I knew more about these... Or I would buy one.. I'm not certain about everything so I am not sure if I should

9:30 over the years i noticed the only real purpose the pci latches seem to have is to make it harder to remove the gpu. the latch model printed on the motherboard is made of flexible plastic and you don't even need to touch it if you need to remove the gpu. just pull harder and it comes off anyways. as i said, these latches are there only to be a problem. latches that are made similar to the tabs used in ram slots are the worst because you have to hold them with a screwdriver so it doesn't lock itself again while removing the gpu. unironically i consider the missing gpu latches to be an upgrade.

Been wanting to see how this cpu performs for a while

Suddenly it would be texas or arizona on gpu chips in the late 2020s or 2030s. Good build by the way.

Nice one & its windows 11 compatible if i remember right. Must admit im really happy with my current refurbed t5810 for a bit of casual 1080p gaming so the t5820 is a fairly good guess for a the next step up in 2025 when support for win10 ends.

Is that bottom expansion slot PCIX? It looks too long to be standard PCI. (Or maybe it's just been a while since I've seen one)

Honestly, thank to this video, I'm looking on eBay RIGHT NOW.

Iove these enterprise pc😊

cool video

It seems really good. Is it a better gaming system then a i5-9400F and GTX 1660 system?

Currently using an HP G5 mini workstation with a 10th Gen. i7 and a QUADRO P620. Little Beast.

the 2nd set of fans (rear exhaust) is only populated when in dual CPU config. Yes, would be nice to leave the headers on the board for additional cooling when in single CPU config. But can purchase a dual CPU chassis/mobo and remove one CPU. 2nd set of fans here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SzePdQcMV2w.htmlsi=GfxoZUBPatEqPtir&t=146

This was definitely a good deal

i got a Dell Precision T7910 about 2 weeks ago from my local freegeek. i upgraded the CPU from a Xeon E5-2620v3 to a E5-2650v4 for $15 and its a night and day diffence now. i went from 40-60FPS in sea of thieves to 70-200FPS i have a 3070 inside it. im going to be adding other E5-2650v4 to it becuz its so cheap.

nice

I just got one of these with th X series CPU and now the damn thing won't turn on

the case as it self is solid..replace the CPU cooler with a real one and get ridd of the 90mm fans, kinda curoius what chipset is on that weird board

servers and workstations are just build "better". the 1 thing i would love them sseing - using standard formats more often...

Hello, i have the same computer but i dont have the GPU auxiliary connectors.

I got mine 7820 with dual Xenon for 600 (pls extra year warranty) I had to buy the vroc key to get the raid working on the m.2 with the card... arriving today!

Now... time for some serious modding! Just cut some windows in that side panel!

Nice video man i almost enjoyed all of it, just watched muted REALLY BUT REALLY HATE THAT TYPE OF MUSIC 😅

I was thinking about getting this to upgrade from my T3610 that shit the bed. $250 on craigslist for a barebones machine.

which one is better between T5810 and T5820 if they has same CUP cores( different CPU) ?

can upgrade to m.2 nvme in flexbay?

actually I think the whole point of the pcie slots is that they are supposed to be open ended but someone correct me if I am wrong.

Wow

Is there a way to get rid of the chassis intrusion thing?

these things used go for like 600 which is a steal

front panel FAN is 12cm

Man this looks so cool... This would something I would love to get.. it's just so damn cool. Can you just put a GPU in

Are these good for gaming

all good, but don't use userbenchmark for comparisons

Not sure how much you paid for this unit US $$, but I hope you got a good deal!

Got a few older dells not this good of ones but my kids use em alot. Just upgraded ram and gpu as high as it could go and saved tons of money.

Wow 950 watt psu that impressive for a used prebuilt pc from dell, they usually always underpowered like 250/300 watt max 500 watt if it's a gaming machine

awful airflow and temps on this one, not recommended putting in a big graphicscard

These are OK if you have the use for them for purely gaming you can get a better build buying parts .

quite an epic device but when it comes to power efficiency, its kind of a dinosaur, bet that it idles at 100w...

ESD protection? I guess it's safe but you did almost all wrong. Great Dell system, however!

3:29 can i sue for false advertisement? wheres the water?

Not a bad buy at all. Can't trust loserbenchmark though.

not power efficiency to get older cpu

Not a PC, is a Workstation

CPU is barely doing anything in RDR2💀
