Dell Precision T5500 Build Series: Part 2 - CPU and Riser Board Install

[@uco1973]

Nice video. I have same PC T5500 adn same CPU's (dual X5670) with RISER CARD an 9x8GB (72GB hexa channel) DDR3 ECC registered Samsung memory. This is old but still very powerful PC. Stronger than some new PC's.

[@DVTutorials]

Underrated for sure, especially as a prebuilt PC

[@HassaanALal]

Damn! seeing this riser board thing first time.

[@IMCDundee]

PS Cashe is pronounced Cash,the E is silent,as its a french root word.

[@skmc6915]

I had a Memory Failure in Riser DIMM 1. Swapped the memory out in that slot. Same message still appears, but I can F! and use my PC until it freezes or restarts. Then I have to restart manually. Ordered a new RISER for 55 bucks, crossing fingers. Got a Dell refurb instead of new. Figured the refurb would have kinks worked out.

[@ralphcopas]

i disagree with the glove and spread the thermal paste around with finger what going to keep it from making air holes on the cpu and making futher run on the motherboard

[@itstheterranaut]

Wonder if the 2nd CPU riser board from the 7500 would fit? Different Dell part code, but they look identilcal.

[@ИгорьВиноградов-у6г]

Hello, seems that you worked a lot with t5500, could you précise please does it work with 1600 memory or 1333 IS th highest possible ?

[@user-si8zf9hy1b]

I put in a couple of x5687s.....a little hot, but works pretty good.

[@DVTutorials]

I might have to try that

[@user-si8zf9hy1b]

@@DVTutorials They're getting cheaper by the day, you can get a 2 for under 80 bucks. I should eventually just put in a pair of x5690's and call it day. But yeah, you can "roll coal" with this hog!! lol

[@orielism]

I'm running dual x5687s with AIOs on them, they never go above 50c

[@nelutucampean4180]

@@orielism Can you tell me what heatsink do you use?

[@orielism]

@@nelutucampean4180 they are AIO water coolers, ID Cooling Frostflow 240, with noctua fans

Essa placa funciona somente com um processador na placa principal?

I just wanted to mention that "cache" is pronounced as "cash". For example , "I have saved up a rations cache in case of severe weather".

[@joeypolanco8754]

Are the Dell T7500 and T5500 CPUs interchangeable as long as they both have the latest BIOS? thanks

[@DVTutorials]

THe 5600 series Xeon CPUs will work in both systems. The T5500 CPU socket is the LGA1366

[@TheLionAndTheLamb777]

Dell T7500's will sometimes show a motherboard DIMM slot error if you upgrade the processors without upgrading the BIOS to the lastest revision first. I've seen this happen when upgrading to a pair of X5680 processors. Once the BIOS was updated the error was resolved.

[@KoGianXanh]

i have 2 vga msi gtx550ti 1g can i setup the sli for it ?

[@ozegovich3649]

pretty sure you can

[@theflyings1490]

does anybody know if the cpu in the riser will still work without installed ram in the riser board? can it just run off the motherboard ram?

[@DVTutorials]

No, the precision computers have very specific memory population rules. It should be possible to populate the memory modules on the riser board and install the 2 cpus and have this work. Check out part 3 of my series kzbin.info/www/bejne/pX3LnZl4aZuap8k for more information.

I have xeon x5675

[@respibob]

Just ordered 2 of these for my T5500. They arrive tomorrow.

[@respibob]

@random bastard I got them off eBay for $45. I also picked up a better heat sink there for $18

[@respibob]

@random bastard I am not sure about using a 5680 with a 5650. I just got mine to match. I got them from itserverexchange on eBay. I picked up a GeForce GTX 1650 at Micro Center really cheap (less than $100) and I have 12GB RAM. I am not a heavy gamer but with this setup I can play all the games at good settings I care to play. I know the 1650 isn't the best graphics card but it was cheap and works for me! I added an SSD to boot from along with a 1TB spinning drive I had for storage. All together I have less than $300 in this thing and it is way better than the pre-built I bought a few years ago (better than it ever was that is)

[@Kundalini12]

"There are four screws on each corner of the heatsink" actually there is only one on each corner...

[@manikrajghatkamble9961]

Can we install 2 different processor in that like first one is 5620 and second one is 5680..

[@craigengelman4534]

has to match

[@tjtaygee]

Why does no one use the screw/bolt to mount the riser to the motherboard????

[@DVTutorials]

@@Joonas-- I don't care for the risers in T5500 or T7500 either.
