DELL PRECISION T3630 - GAMING UPGRADES

[@imadatallah45]

wow this is ultimate upgrade

[@ivanherrera4975]

Good video, thanks !!! 👍

[@mezzam]

Hi, again another question 😆thx for answering previous. I got my 3630 now and installed front fan and RTX 2060! But the CPU cooler... do you know any low profile coolers that dont require me to remove the motherboard and do installation like you? On 9:54 minute, I see from the intel backplate you can use screws.. can those be used for other coolers?

[@PcLaptopUpgrades]

Hello again. I don't know if those screws can be used for other coolers and if there is any because there are many models on the market. The coolers that I have used until now, including my previous videos, have their own installation equipment that must be used in order to work. I think that you will not achieve it. But you can search on KZbin for installation guide on low profile coolers. Maybe there is someone else who did that without removing motherboard.

[@andrewparis5712]

There's an alternative Dell stock cooler that is close to the Pure Rock LP tdp. Look for pn 0T57JF. You have to weigh the benefit of 100w tdp vs not having to fully disassemble your workstation.

[@haroldwren1660]

Great work! Did you consider changing the case? I understand all the front panel wires are proprietary. Harbin repairs has kits but I’m not sure if they would work for this model.

[@Alex-fe2vv]

Curious to know if anyone has tried.

[@KevinInPhoenix]

You forgot to add the heatsink for the VRM. If the CPU will be drawing over 65 watts then adding the heatsink for the voltage regulator modules is needed.

[@GiovannyPalmero]

A QUESTION BUY AN I7-8700K SUPPORTS 8TH GENERATION?

[@Dygo784]

Can you provide the link to buy intel i7 mother board, fan ? Links for everything.

[@JohnDavidSullivan]

is the 8600 okay or should I change it for an 8700K? worth it or not? also is there a cooler that doesn't require me to cut up the back bracket. will any cooler fit?

[@_pant0m]

go for it ...gain is a gain

[@alansavelski5240]

Just the video I was looking for, awesome. So standard ATX PSU is plug & play, doesn't require any adapters for the motherboard like on some of the previous Precision models like 3620? What is the max card length that can fit in the case?

[@splxsh_td2641]

12 inches I believe

[@aperson1181]

Do you have a pic of the inside of the HD bays? How many HDs can it fit?

[@PcLaptopUpgrades]

It can fit 4 hdd/ssd drives inside.

[@GD-qd5yz]

i have the same pc but with stock CPU cooler and i7 8th and the tems for both cpu and GPU(GTX 1660 super) are really high can you help me here and tell me which spu cooler and what fan should I use BTW I checked and both CPU and GPU have thermal past and as soon as I remove the load terms go back to 26 - 35 in about 5 min but under load its reaching 80-90 both CPU and GPU

[@kakbalhaartjes]

You should consider liquid cooling it with a 120mm AIO. I've got the same pc with an i7-8700/Intel Arc a770/Corsair rm850x. I installed a Corsair h55 rgb AIO and temps are never over 65 celcius. If you need any info let me know.

[@GD-qd5yz]

@@kakbalhaartjes thnaks for the reply btw i got a 1660 super too and it running in 80s too so will adding a 120mm fan in front panel will do any thing? and are other any other good and reliable 120 mm AIO other than corsair h60 and h55

[@kakbalhaartjes]

@@GD-qd5yz I installed a 120mm noctua nf a12x15 (15mm thickness instead of 25mm) between the case and the front panel. It provides a bit of airflow to the GPU but mine didnt run hot to begin with. (Dual fan card). But it wil probably help a little bit.

[@GD-qd5yz]

@@JoeHugs-p1i yeah well i also wanted to get the dell original cooler with turbo fan but here in Pakistan it costs as much as a new custom casing and 4 fans so I didn't but I think I'm just gonna switch to a cardboard box now as its more my budget and then after saving up change the whole damn PC and get something with better air flow :)

[@brunetyannick1174]

Nice build : one small question : how much clearance is there for gpu length-wise ? I see your card is 270 mm, I was wondering if a kfa2 3060ti would fit (290 mm long) ^^

[@Dabrandman13]

What is the wattage with the stock power supply? I can't seem to find it on the pc or a clear answer online.

[@PcLaptopUpgrades]

Stock PSU is 460watt.

[@Dabrandman13]

​@PcLaptopUpgrades thanks, thats great. I was given this 3630 without a hard drive. I also have a 3620 with a 500gb hard drive. Can I just move that hard drive to the 3630? Will it boot from that hard drive? The 3620 has a xeon e3-1225 v5 and the 3630 has i7 9th gen. I want to move my ram and gtx1650 super to that pc also.

[@anthonytipps8484]

Hey I'm needing some help. I have a 3630 with the Xeon 2274g processor. I was planning on upgrading the graphics to an RX 6650 XT and upgrading my PSU to have more than 300W. Will the processor be able to handle the graphics card without bottlenecking?

[@GODSPEAKS_3257]

xeons arent gaming cpus but it will still perform perfectly fine

[@akosiamarillo]

Good upgrade. I like the case but the air circulation maybe poor especially that GpU dumping heat insite the case. I am looking to do the same but just a PSU and GPu upgrade using a Quadro P4000. Thanks

[@lifeassry2073]

could yu please help me im having the same P4000 and i7 8th gen.. currently facing psu issue... could yu please let me know if there are any compatible PSU for this power

[@akosiamarillo]

a good quality psu with gold rated 500watts and above should be enough to power that setup. brands from seasonic are generally good.

[@cid2mizar]

I have a spare 2080 super. I was on thinking about getting one of those and only replace the gpu. You reckon the existing cpu/ram could carry me a bit or is it really limited?

[@15yearswasted54]

As long as you have a correct power supply then it should work fine. A core i5 at minimum should be enough to carry it, but preferably you should use an i7. At bare minimum you should have 8gb of memory but preferably 16 gbs of it. If you're looking at Ebay listings then do be sure that it uses an SSD for its storage / boot device rather than an HDD.

[@mezzam]

Hi, Do you still have the top fan orginal? Did you install a front fan? Which in that case? I will most likely buy the CPU fan you recommended. thanks

[@PcLaptopUpgrades]

Good evening. I didn't install other parts. Only the one's shown in the video.

[@johndank2209]

@@PcLaptopUpgrades would an Rtx 2080 TI fit in both 3630 tower and the MT version?

[@marianoalberto3358]

i have a 3630 as well, do you know if it is possible to transfer all the components to a gaming pc case or will i have any compatibility issues? if not, which case would work. i will eventually upgrade more but i don’t have the budget for the rest and want to start with a case. i am new to pcs so any help appreciated

[@PcLaptopUpgrades]

Starting from the backplate of motherboard it cannot be removed. So if you transfer motherboard to new case it will not have protection from there. I think that you can transfer motherboard to a new case. The rest of them are easy to install.

[@impermanenthuman8427]

What’s the best/biggest air cooler that will fit in the i7 8700 3630 full ‘tower’ size case? What’s a the maximum cooler height that will fit between the 3630 processor and the case cover? And if removing the case cover helps then I would probably just remove the case cover if the over all cooling effect with a larger air cooler will still work well? Thanks for any suggestions

[@PcLaptopUpgrades]

The only CPU coolers that will fit inside the case are the same as the one that I used in the video. If you use a cooler with bigger height you must remove not only case cover but also the psu mechanism must stay in upper position. I wouldn't do that because cooling is better when computer is closed.

[@impermanenthuman8427]

@@PcLaptopUpgradesthanks, the specs for your graphics card seem to say that it is 269.83 mm long, would a gpu just 8mm longer also just manage to fit in the case ok? my MSI GTX 970 twin frozr 4GB gpu is 277.15 mm long Thanks

[@impermanenthuman8427]

Also could a silverstone SX600G SFX PSU 125mm W x 63.5 mm H x 100mm D be able to be at least screwed into the PSU bay to secure it safely? I know this is smaller than the Corsair 860W but should it still be able to be secured well enough? Thanks again

[@impermanenthuman8427]

Edit, found a psu adapter for SFX to ATX 👍🏻

[@awkwardUsopp]

How did you move the hard drive holders to the bottom I have a big GPU

[@PcLaptopUpgrades]

Hello. I didn't move them. They are installed in the button from factory.

[@Martijn189nl]

Thanks for creating the video. How did you get the new LGA 1151 backplate? Also top case fan is verry loud, you did not replace it?

[@PcLaptopUpgrades]

Do you mean CPU backplate?. I removed the four corners from the existing one and used it again. I didn't buy new one. The top fan is not loud to me.

[@Martijn189nl]

@@PcLaptopUpgrades Thanks, and are you not getting BIOS errors because of different CPU fan? How are the temps? I have the 3630 with the I7 8700K and i am not sure if the cooler will keep it under 75 C on max load (6 cores @ 4300MhZ), both claim to be 95 Watt TDP. You used ddr4 2133 MHZ memory, am i correct in thinking that this is what you had, or did you buy this with a reason (board supports highe, but then again... it will be cheaper i thinkr). I do not hink the BIOS has XMP, what speed is it running in your system?

[@mezzam]

By the way, I cannot find that it has microphone connection 3.5mm jack. How do you solve this if my headset needs to be connected with microphone jack and headphone jack?

[@jonathonHorn-l1y]

USB-C microphones are an option, or 3.5mm to USB-C microphone adapter.

[@Testo183]

Thanks for the video, that's exactly what I was looking for. I would like to upgrade the PC exactly as in the video, but replace the GPU with the AMD RX 6600. My question now would be whether it would also work with the GPU.

[@andyroo8219]

it would work depending on the size and the psu wattage which is typically 460w but it should be fine most likely but i'd recommend replacing the powier supply

[@nejaziB]

I got one I will soon be upgrading the Graphics card so I can play Call of duty war zone. I have Normal ddr4 32gbram should I change it to ddr5, and which graphics card is good for Ultra gaming? Mode

[@javorrrful]

Is it a good ida to put screws dirctly on the motherboard which becomes the holding element ? Not at all.. the solid design is ruined. Not impressed at all .. and these PCs have inimpressive coolers in general, not sure if the models with i9-9900K are with better coolers.

[@impermanenthuman8427]

In the description you have written i5 9900KF but in the vid the box says i9? 🤔 assume the vid is correct?

[@PcLaptopUpgrades]

I wanted to write i9 but by mistake I wrote i5. I changed it.

[@mezzam]

Hi, I have the same T3630, but when installing a GTX 1060 it is not detected in the BIOS. What can I do? I dont have Windows installed yet, but should I install windows and see if I can detect it?

[@PcLaptopUpgrades]

Hello. Install windows and upgrade your bios from windows update if GPU is not recognized after windows installation.

[@mezzam]

Thanks, I will try that. However I tested with another and worse grahpics card, and that was detected in bios.@@PcLaptopUpgrades

I just bought this pc, with a i5 9500, a RTX 3060 and 32GB RAM for 400 bucks. Looking to upgrade the CPU to a 9900K too. That being said they're still about 200 to 300€. I found a 9700 for 110 bucks, that might do the trick.

[@LORISSABOOBMAN]

I just finished my 3630 with a i9-9900k & added a RTX 2080 super, i also added the Dell oem 850 psu & 2 120mm front fans.

[@m1k4c]

I did it the stupid way. Instead of upgrading everything and keeping this beautiful dell tower to show of, I bought a used 3640 for 150$, took out 10700k and 64gb of RAM, put it into my existing gaming pc (10700k instead of 10100f and 64g instead of 16g of ddr4), then I took out some quadro 4000 or smtn like that, some productivity card I guess and put it online to sell along with 10100f and 16g of ddr4, and I threw away the rest - psu, case, cooler, motherboard and all that dell crap. I guess tastes differ. If I knew this guy existed, I could have sent it to him. He kept only that.
