Components most changed/upgraded are RAM, SSD and GPU. All of them can be upgraded in this Dell. Comes with a 4090 and a 1000W PS. Why change power supply? 5600 DDR5 is bad? Just looking at a $2800 Lenovo Tower 7i with same CPU and they use DDR5 5200. Your unsureness on the cooling doesn't instill confidence you know what you're talking about.

This is a tired conversation. You want to build from scratch, feel free. You think there is better pre-builts, then LINK THEM to them if you truly want to help people.

Hmmm. I wonder what it fixes. Does not say much in the description.
yeah most of the bios updates say they are security fixes, but there may be other patches in there to support additional ssds or memory like some here are planning to do

I emailed them today and no respond from CB site
Update: I can access my account again!!!

This morning, I followed up on my previous email with them from Wednesday, and I got a response about 2 hours later saying access has been restored. The $374 cash back shows as well.

Curious about the RAM you listed. It says XMP in the title. I've read that the R16 doesn't support XMP. I'm assuming this kit will run at 5200 without XMP?
That xmp is supported by the ram doesn't mean required. I went with it because it is highly-rated at a good price from a well-known manufacturer. Many people in the Amazon QA section report it works perfectly in the R16 and at 5600 speed.

This is the exact same RAM you and I have been talking about previously then. Got it. I got thrown off by the XMP in the description. Are you going to be purchasing this RAM?

Yep. I ordered it this morning. It arrives on Wednesday from Amazon. I hope I can sell the 2x16 that comes with it to offset the cost a little Wink

I bought the Crucial Pro CP2K32G56C46U5 and will report back how it goes.

Are there any games that require 64gb ram, or is that only for video editing and rendering type activities?

definitely not any games that need 64gb. the video card is going to chew through pretty much everything with its 24gb of onboard vram. The only reason I'm upgrading to 64gb is because I literally work on 3 virtual machines simultaneously all day on my desktop, and I allocate 8gb or so of memory to each VM, so this will leave me with 32+ for the main system itself.

The extra memory definitely comes in handy. I have a lot of VMs and work with Openshift/ROSA (kubernetes).

Congrats! I just did too! They took away my new account bonus, but whatever I'd rather have something than nothing

glad some people are getting paid. meanwhile, I still just show a 'shopping trip' with no cashback amount, and the computer will be here on Tuesday. Fingers crossed.

Yeah, that Crucial seems like a good deal. 32 Gig doesn't do this machine justice, so I'm very interested in how that goes for your installation of it.

Does anybody know if Dell will give you a deal (maybe even free) to upgrade to Win 11 Pro? If not, where are people going to get the upgrade.

Just got mine today, installed the 2nd SSD. Probably going to upgrade to 64 Gig of ram, but also think I should upgrade to Pro from Home.
