Dell T5810 Cooler Upgrade

[OakleyG]

Hi currently using a T5810 as my gaming rig, has a 1060 6gb in it and a E5-1650 V3 with the stock dell cooler. Would like to know what cpu cooler would fit nice on a budget and perform better than the current one if i was to try overclocking. Any GPU upgrade tips would be nice as i have noticed a bottleneck with the 1060 6GB.

Have you checked to confirm that your motherboard supports overclocking? Those workstation PCs almost never come with a motherboard that allows for the CPU to be overclocked.

Most Dell crap boards have custom cooler attachement, can't upgrade them, unless you juryrig it yourself

And your chip is locked, can't OC unless tweaking FSB, but chances are the gimped Dell BIOS won't allow that neither

I don't think the T5810 board supports overclocking.

 

The stock heatsink (part number YH2R3) is more than adequate for any up to 145 watt CPU you'd throw into the thing.

ive seen some posts of the T5810 being overclocked on the stock board so i was just really wondering.

I don't know about the cooler, but I have put a GTX 1070 in a t5810 and in ran gear.

 

I just put a blower 5700XT in one and that will get bottlenecked in some games. In Hogwarts Legacy I'm getting 50%-60% GPU usage.
