This CPU cooler is a direct fit instead of stock. I got down from 82C to 53C. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F21X...UTF8&psc=1

Tips for installation:
1) remove cooler and CPU, clean old paste
2) install new cooler base - adjust the screws
3) remove cooler base, plug in cooler fan
4) install CPU and drop of thermal paste
5) install cooler base ( note letter V orientation, so you don't have it upside down like me
6) install fan on cooler base

Just wanted to say thank you for including the power supply details in the title!

Likewise!! That needs to be mandatory for PC posts on SD.

Another question: What connectors does this have inside? Could I add another 1tb SSD instead of a 2TB HD?

Sata connections.

Can anyone confirm this comes with a sata power cable for a second drive? My other xps came with an optical drive, and it had a power cable with a spare connector I used for a SSD I had lying around. This deal does not come with an optical drive so I'm thinking there is no cable. Also for those wondering the 2280 slot will hold up to 2TB NVME per Crucial, and the shorter 2230 slot is already taken up by the BT/WiFi card.

Quote from heavyharmonies :
This was a decent deal. I bought one with same specs for $20 more last month. Running it stock (no repasting) the fan gets a bit loud on occasion, but it's been humming along for in Nicehash Quickminer on "Medium" OC profile about 2 weeks 24-7 pulling between 27 and 27.5 Mh/s. No crashes. Temps consistently at 57 C, and 71 C "Hotspot T."

I know the 1660 Super can get closer to 30-31 Mh/s if you manually OC, but I haven't had luck with this particular card, as the settings on Reddit don't get me any better results, nor has iteratively adjusting the OC settings in MSI Afterburner, so rather than jumping through hoops I'm ok using the simple Quickminer solution.
The cards included uses micron memory. The settings that worked for me was 67% power limit, - 89 core Clock, +580 Memory a d it got me to 30 mh/s. Every other setting I tried would either crash it or drop the rate pretty low

Quote from pojo :
For anyone asking about AMEX, they sent me an email after I purchased, so it looks like it works for this website. Dell is confusing because they have multiple sites.

Also, it took me months to get the Dell offer but I found that after adding EVERY SINGLE AMEX offer, it eventually showed up. Maybe this was luck, I don't know.

Is it a bad sign if I didn't get any email from AMEX after purchase?

Looks like we'll receive sooner than expected. My original delivery date of 6/14 - 6/17 is now moved up to 6/9.
Charge to Amex is still pending, so don't know if offer has applied yet.

Quote from Sevallis :
Yeah, worth seeing. You aren't getting a proper 1660 super FE, or even a decent AIB in this:

here's the review of the 1660 Super they got in theirs (it's a Dell special!) https://youtu.be/HFaJZq13tr8

Here's the review of the whole system (no standard parts so you can't reuse things!): https://youtu.be/4DMg6hUudHE

Here's a review of all of the bloatware that it comes preinstalled with: https://youtu.be/5N7aYtkzKJc

Perhaps you are okay with all of this for the price, just know what you are getting and adjust your expectations. Hope this was helpful.

Gonna replace some 4 year old 1060 3gbs that slaved away at the mines that I put in kids PCs. I'm gonna undervolt these like I do with all my GPUs and selling the old GPUs and XPS desktops leaves me with a net maybe $20-40 cost to upgrade each GPU. Good deal in my book.

Quote from mystery250 :
Can I use the built in 8 and add another 8gb chip of ram or do I need to buy another matching pair of 8gb ram?
Yes you can just add another 8gb. If it is not too late to answer your question, pg. 16 of the Dell XPS 8940 manual provides all the possible configurations. I recommend Crucial through Amazon.CT8G4DFRA266. That is what I used in my last 8940. Ordering again for this one.

● 8 GB, 2 x 4 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM, dual-channel
● 8 GB, 1 x 8 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM
● 16 GB, 2 x 8 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM, dual-channel
● 16 GB, 1 x 16 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM
● 32 GB, 1 x 32 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM
● 32 GB, 2 x 16 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM, dual-channel
● 64 GB, 2 x 32 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM, dual-channel
● 64 GB, 4 x 16 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz/2933 MHz, UDIMM, dual-channel
NOTE: The computer is shipped with 3200 MHz memory. However, with Intel Core i3/i5 processors, it is limited to 2666 MHz. With Intel Core i7/i9 processors, it is limited to 2933 MHz.

Thanks. Is there a specific order that I'll need to install it? Such as first and third or second a fourth slots? I've heard that it's finicky.
