I have this for 6 weeks already. I like it more then I thought I would. I replaced CPU fan with vetroo V5 and rear fan with be quiet 92mm PWM. Extra $40 and definitely worth doing long term for extra airflow. GPU is mining when idle for 29.5 MH with -200core, +650mem,70 power limit and 53% fan speed (custom curve in msi afterburner). GPU temp 53C.


Clean windows install is a must.

For everyone who bought or is buying this, you should watch the Games Nexus review of this card! ( Just search "Dell GN GPU" it's a POS and I bought it myself. If you going to keep just the card, I would flip it before the 1 year warranty is up or of its possible a better heatsink and fan for the gpu. And I noticed there are so many of these Dell oem broken cards selling on ebay!

Proprietary psu and motherboard, to be expected from a Dell prebuilt. Decent value given the current market
Quote from twinturboz View quoted comment :
The proprietary PSU got me a lil turned off by the system, whats wrong with standard ATX format? No way to upgrade it. Everything else looks okay for the cost.

Most big name (Acer, Asus, Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo, ect..) low budget pre-built computers come with propriety cases, PSU, and motherboards now a days, but their higher end computers may come with standard size parts.

But the other parts are always standard (CPU, RAM, drives, graphics cards, ect..)

The margins are so slim on computers they have to up sell you on peripherals, support, upgrades, and service to stay in business.

There are companies that sell computers made from all standardized parts ,but of course they are always much more expensive, because they have a all in one warranty for parts they do not make, and support users that do not know computers too well, just like the big boys.

Clean Windows install? To get rid of bloatware or something else?

Very easy just go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Reset This PC

it takes about 15 minutes with new computers with SSD

I don't see the Amex Offer for $120 off on my card. I guess that promo is not for everyone. My offer is only for points. Sad

I wish I knew what the exact coupon requirements are. It's possible to get a 1660 Ti, same CPU/SSD/memory for just over $1000 before coupon, but the coupon does not apply. I finally gave in and just ordered the preconfigured one with 1660 Super.

It does the same thing. There has been no need to re-install since Windows 10.

How did you get the Vetro CPU cooler to work? Doesn't the CPU cooler anchor the motherboard by screwing into the frame?

Clean install will get rid of the oem partitions too. There's no reason to keep any of the Dell stuff around.
