unnecessary. just uninstall all pre-loaded apps except the dell supportassist app will do.

don't know what problem, waiting dell technician bring parts to test and replace (or repair). prolly next week.

lol…apa sarahan miners.

nope…trust me…it's not as bloated as you imagine and not annoying like your android phone.

just plain simple click uninstall…that's all.

of course…if u insist, just register warranty for the rig on the dell app 1st then only do whatever you want.

for those custom builder os mysophobia ocd folk, use diskpart to delete all recovery partition and install windows 10 ltsc lo…haha

ya…but not a big deal for home user.

ISO tampered or not u can crosscheck md5/sha1/sha256 value…no worry here.

u must understand how many pcie lanes provided from your processor, and how the mobo share the pcie lanes.

get the intel build.

at least no need panic when gpu down at this moment.

any build requires gpu go for dell pre-built.

else you only can opt for gt1030 at the moment.

plug n play options
1. Arctic Freezer i13X CO
2. Vetroo V5
3. Dell p/n VWD01

non plug n play option
1. Noctua NH-U9S

i bought both VWD01 and 612F7 under rm150 from dell

case fan just reuse the fan from dell stock cpu cooler fan as case fan

p/n VWD01 and 612F7

XPS 8940 is using H470 chipset mobo

Noctua NH-U9S…you need buy extra screw to fit that
all mod tutorials here

even after using noctua you will unlikely to get thermal throttling…but you will still throttled by PL2 power limit wor…

case fan just reuse the fan from dell stock cpu cooler fan as case fan…no need buy funny funny exhaust fan.

intake fan also no need buy la, just reuse the stock rear case fan as intake fan. (mount mod required)

sx8200 pro already how many revision? haha
can't keep up with their silent change.

for those who are still coming in lurking or asking for gpu purchase recommendation, this is still the situation now until further notice, hopefully the gpu draught will be ended soon.

wrong thread

talking about better cooling, those who seldom or lazy change thermal paste, better use long lasting type.

1. Honeywell PTM7950-SP (phase change thermal interface material)

2. Honeywell PTM7900-SP (phase change thermal interface material)

Best way to apply thermal paste is "X" pattern:

no point to upgrade if still using gtx960.
if u wait the gpu price to become reasonable then by that time new gen come out already.
upgrade gpu 1st.

ya…some more if future change cpu to i7 or i9, mugen 5 is better than se-224xt.

cyrogx6 just get the mugen 5 je

AX201: CNVio
AX200: PCIE

amd cannot use AX201. more info u can read here

dell 1 ok la…just use it like how u use your office pc, that's it.

6299 a bit overpriced. last time apply MY15OFF for 15% off then worth.

cpu cooler upgrade is a must.

personally i don't care about temp on prebuilt pc so much since got 3 years premium onsite warranty, just use until kaput. by the time i think already is the time for upgrade dah.

i directly order from Dell for the tower cpu cooler and vrm heatsink (Dell p/n 0VWD01 & 0612F7), that cost me below RM150 (free shipping for me i'm surprise). then i use the fan from the ori pancake cpu cooler (59cfm) to replace the casing exhaust fan (40cfm), that's all.

the stock all core boost (all core 4.4ghz) duration only last for 28s and it will hit 90c (155w tdp) on the dell tower cooler, after that will be power throttled to all core 3.9ghz then 3.8ghz then gradually until 3.5ghz (lowest), i can't remember correctly it should be running around 85-95w in long duration, about 75-80c on the dell tower cpu cooler. 11700 best power and thermal efficiency for all core max load is frequency around 4ghz (3.9ghz-4.1ghz).

the above scenario is just the max load for factory setting. if u want to raise the cpu power limit duration with intel extreme tuning utility or throttlestop software then need beefier cpu cooler lo like thermalright ta120ex mini.

for gaming wise, just simply get any compatible tower cooler and let the cpu boost to the frequency as high as it wants.

storage expandability wise, on top of the existing 512gb m.2 nvme ssd and 1tb 3.5" hdd, u can add on an extra 3.5" hdd (need an extra sata power extension cable and sata cable), 2.5" hdd, m.2 nvme ssd (using pcie adapter).

good thing on dell are the 3 years onsite premium support, the proprietary mobo makes the front usb ports have stable power supply for ext hdd, compact size casing, free keyboard and mouse (quite good quality) .

bad thing on dell are those limitation on parts upgrade and limited customization on bios, and other prebuilt cons u could think.

hope these info could help those who are in considering to get a prebuilt pc.

hi, is this gpu ok for lightroom ai denoise?

i know adobe software optimized for apple silicon and nvidia.

thanks in advance for reply.

thanks.

but too bad reviewer only done test for export 50x jpeg not AI denoise.
