You definitely want to go in and adjust the fan curve for the video card. This is a known AMD thing and not a Dell specific issue. The CPU is liquid cooled but it's not just adequate. The fans aren't bad, they're just server fans, but they do get really loud. You are going to want to go into ACC and either set the system to use the performance preset or create your own, but be prepared to deal with the noise. There's no way to keep this unit as cool as it needs to be and to have it quiet and stay stock. That being said I don't find the noise to be that bothersome because I game with a headset and others have not complained about the noise coming through the mic.
I have replaced the fans on one unit with some quality high static pressure fans and it did keep the unit quieter and a few degrees cooler. This upgrade cost me about 60 for the 3 fans and some thermal paste.
Outside of the noise the units have been rock solid. They've run everything I've thrown at it, from the Adobe suite of products, to COD and Microsoft Flight Simulator. One has done this while pushing 2 27" IPS monitors at 165hz and 1 34" VA panel also at 165hz flawlessly. I'm definitely happy with the purchases.

Ridiculous.
They are now telling me the order is at "end of life" and needs to be cancelled and reordered....
If you says it was a reasonable offer. I'll give them a call.

I finally called on the 5th. They told me that they were canceling the order. They transferred me to sales. The guy I got from Texas was awesome. They gave me the same specs but in an r14 case for the same price. I opted to upgrade the processor to a ryzen 9 for 150. Got it last week and it's dang fast. Going to double the ram and I should be good for awhile.
