Hey folks. Just asking. New owner of a "refurb" / "DFO" Dell, running an intel 10700 + 2070 Super.

I know the mobo and cpu is essentially non over-clockable (which is fine by me because I am looking for stability and reliability).

This one comes with 500w psu, but there's these talks about i7 10th gens suck up a lot of power, so is there anything I can do about it?

Or just don't do anything?

Context: I own a laptop since 2007, and another since 2014, so I have zero idea about desktop these days.

This tech tuber is a troll (well he has to,if he wanted all the clicks). Sendiri claim 2x8, then at one point the screen flashes 1x16 on order, salahkan Dell.

The real takeaway is some of the comments are actually useful. Like for example, you can get a used Dell tower cooler (which is brand new for usd25, I think same in the comment on eBay but I think left 5-6 units since I checked).

Another would be if you have a noctua pc case fan, use the splitter, (and use the original fan as well), plug in the ori Dell fan on the 3 pin, and the noctua on the slave 4 pin end of the splitter, and you should have no f1 bios boot error for the casing fans. As for the CPU fans, the Lanhuo 6, Vetroo V5 is basically plug and play, but no comments on either if the bios spits another f1 error.


Somebody in the comments also claimed that by using throttlestop, and this one software (I forgot, need to double check) you can indefinitely boost the CPU to bypass the 128 second limit.

Have to find the time Stamp, he flashed his order for a second. The confirmed order says 1x16even though on selection he clicked 2x8
