I've been fine with Arctic fans, they are more quiet than stock ones, Noctua fans are great from what I hear, but kind of expensive. Also recommend replacing the thermal paste, give the heat sinks a good cleaning, you should be able to drop temps pretty good.
With those 80w CPUs you should be...
Yeah.... I have to say I am more than a little confused now, what all this is saying is that I should not be able to run Windows 10...
Yet, I went ahead and successfully installed Windows 10 Professional *What da "insert expletive here"*…… How does this make any since at all?
The noise can likely be remedied with fans that are more quiet, which I'm started doing in my Dell T3500, if check to see if your current CPUs are the higher TDP versions (130w), if they are then upgrading to X56xx CPU will lower the TDP to 95w which will help with the fans kicking in, also...
I am rather confused about how my Dell Precision T3500 which originally came with Windows 7 Professional was able to upgrade to Windows 10 Professional seemingly for free.
Here are some specifics on what I am seeing:
In the Control Panel - Under Systems I see:
Windows is activated
In...
Only as a hobby or personal project or because you can. For any real purposes, it's a bit of a waste of time.
This is what I have one for. An old Gateway G6-400.
Hi guys, trying to decide if I should upgrade to Windows 10 Professional, issues I have are the following:
1. Not supported by Dell... I'm not sure if this is actually an issue.
2. I've heard of non-specific issues related to drivers, not sure. Some say it will work, some say it won't.
3. I...
The only uses for it are some minor production stuff like word processing, excel type stuff and the like. Nostalgia. Retro gaming.
For getting on the internet, it isn't really usable, here are some requirements for internet:
Web Browser needs to be at minimum Internet Explorer 9, I think.
CPU...
That's actually not bad for a i7-4790, just have to wait for the right deal.
A Z600 is a pretty nice computer, but I have Dells primarily. All my HPs are server grade hardware, which I basically paid 5 dollars each for:
HP DL360 G7 (Just installed a pair of E5645 for 20 dollars)
HP DL360 G6...
So I'm working on building an HP DL360 G7, a dual LGA 1366 based server. I currently have it setup with dual Intel Xeon E5645 CPUs. So far I've spent:
$5 - Barebones HP DL360 G7
$20 - Matching Intel Xeon E5645
Since I will be building a dedicated NAS, I'm not sure I need a ton of space for...
So, I'm not even sure if this is the correct location for this question, I apologize if it isn't.

Honestly, it really depends on what your needs are, which I do not know. T5500s and T7500s can come configured with Dual CPUs which is cool, but for most games, it's not necessary, however if you need a computer for video editing or 3D rendering like with Adobe Premiere Pro or Solid Works etc...
At this point, I don't even see the point in doing that.
Besides with the X5675, you're getting 6 cores instead of 4. Sure the clock speed isn't as high, but it works. If you want similar clock speeds and same core count, you could try the X5677, here's a link to specs:
Intel Xeon X5677 -...
I'm running just 8GB of DDR3, however the T3500 can have a ton of memory, with a W series Xeon, your limited to 24 GB, but if you use an X5675 like I have you can use much more. The GTX 760 should be a fine GPU for gaming, I think my Radeon HD 6950 is a bit older and it works for my uses.
