I had similar one with 12700. Most of internal components are custom and cannot be replaced down the line
Dell doesnt support cpu upgrades even if intel allows it. I couldnt install 13 gen when it came out.
Motherboard is non standard size.
So buy it if you do not plan on upgrades.
This is correct, unless dell upgrades the same model for instance the 8940 came with 2070ti super but then the 8940 had a 3070 option, so you can upgrade BUT you need to get a dell specific model of the 3070.

You can only pretty much upgrade the ram, ssd, and GPU depending on the type of GPU and the power supply watts

You can upgrade it to 1000 watt PSU for only 100.00 future proof if you want to upgrade the GPU later. I ordered one with these configuration. Ordered a 16gb ram stick from Amazon way cheaper than Dell. That will give me 32gb ram
yeah thats what i did and got this: https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/d...lsrc=aw.ds

And used the 10% off coupon from signing up for the emails, which btw doesnt require you to be a new user.

I was tired of my 8940 crashing, the motherboard died 2 times, one from a ram install and once just restarting the computer plus it has the shitty 460watt power supply unit which cant be upgraded and with my warranty on the 8940 ending, i go the 8940 with upgraded specs of a 4070ti, 1000 watt psu, i9 14th gen, liquid cooling, dvd, and 32gb ram which im upgrading to 64gb

Not 100% true, but even if it was, they would have replaced the PSU along with the MB.
what else can fry a motherboard?

I upgraded my CPU cooler, and installed VRAM heatsink ( $10 on ebay)

Cooler option is limited, but not impossible.

Lightning strike
Power surge
Overheating
Smoke damage
Liquid spill
Impact with an object that damages a chip or a trace
Design defect

None of these would be the fault of the PSU.

you literally just mentioned all external effects... in which case a power surge would also be fault of the PSU

in fact I was wrong, a fried CPU can also fry the chipset in the motherboard

your answers were so terrible even I was the only one to correct myself

The poster said that the 460w PSU 'barely works' and went on to imply that the motherboard failed because of the PSU although the PSU wasn't replaced, hence the skepticism. I am pointing out just a few of the factors that can cause or contribute to a failed motherboard besides the PSU.

Not sure why this is hard to understand.

I couldn't find it in the specs. Does this have another slot for an additional M.2 PCIe NVMe, SSD? I think I read about another model that needed an adapter.
Thx

The service manual [dell.com] is a useful resource for anyone considering purchasing one of these. It says that yes, there are two M.2 slots; however, one of them can only handle a 2230 size*. See page 58.

* This is confusing, since the picture of the board in the SM shows an outline of a 2280 for both slots, and also appears to show a standoff for both sizes.
