Screws for msata for XPS 8500 card card mother screwposts (informative)

I ordered a Crucial msata for my XPS 8500 card.  Installing an msata card requires two screws to CAPSA map for the two screwposts on the motherboard.  Crucial does not include screws and neither does Dell.  Working with Dell I was able to identify the specifications for the required screw neeeded anchor map msata in positions.  Without the screws an msata card will fall just out of the slot msata.  For any of you out there with the same need is the specification of the screw:

SCR:M2X3:KSH:MS:BLO

The screws are tiny metric screws and without the specs, they are incredibly hard to find.  No specification on page 58 of the Dell XPS 8500 manual, which is where the diagram is for installing an msata card.  Dell is expected to add this info in a footnote on page 58.

Note to Dell's Support staff who might be reading this: this specification of screws for the use of other customers of the file.

I bought a portable screw Kit made by Rhino Fry Electronics which had the screws in it. These are screws x3mm m2. The kit is the AS-11 model number. Bar code is 8 54190 00103 9.  Rhino has a websit - www.rhino-tek.com.  You can also find them on ebay.  Anyway, I put a map of msata Crucial 256 MB in my XPS 8500 and am a happy camper with her.

  • A confirmed upgrades to the video card for XPS 8500?

    I want to upgrade the video card in my XPS 8500 (currently a 7570). I searched around and literally impossible to find a simple confirmation of a card that suit and will work (not to mention that the other a Dell offers, 7770, I think that it is). I would really fall into a 6850 6870 or 7850 (in the order of less for the most favorite). I found lots of info on cards that work with the old 8300, XPS, which uses the same power supply as the 8500 according to me. However, I'm not sure if the limitations of the space are the same in the case of XPS 8500 compared to the 8300.

    Would appreciate any info. Thank you!

    I don't see why not.  I just installed a R9 Sapphire x 280 in my XPS8500, I have an OC of HD7850 Sapphire.   This card is crazy for a long time.

  • XPS 8500 card video, power, upgrades

    I see several threads looking for upgrades XPS 8500 graphics card that can be used with the stock PSU 460w or improved power supply.   However, in upgrading the GPU for this machine, there are a few cards that are not compatible and will result in a black screen.    Even with a correct video card installation, an appropriate power supply and/or upgrade video card fans are going to work, but there is no video.   The problem lies in the BIOS to 8500 XPS motherboard does not recognize the video card and it is a known issue that has carried over from the XPS 8300 to the current XPS 8500.

    There was a video BIOS updates of some card manufacturers to fix this problem for some cards, but there are many old maps that do not work.  The safest bet would be to use a new card with the PCI 3.0 specifications.

    In the sticky in this forum, a link to the current Dell drivers shows the following video cards that support drivers for Windows 8:

    Since it's cards Dell OEM that are supported, there are also specific questions from manufacturer where a given video card model may or may not work according to its configuration.  Considering that an XFX HD 6870 will work in the XPS 8500, the same map made by another manufacturer may not work.

    Please consider this when you do upgrades of the PSU and GPU and, hopefully, BIOS upgrades in the future will answer these questions.

    It would be useful if you have a SPECIFIC card that does or does not, to indicate the manufacturer and the model number full in this thread.

    Operating system information and the Bios would be also useful, and if you use the power SUPPLY Dell or a block upgrade of power.  Specific model please!

    Edit:

    Please include following and other useful information

    Manufacturer number and model of graphics card:

    BIOS:

    Operating system:

    Power supply manufacturer otherwise Dell 460w PSU:

    Compatible: Yes or no

    Original card with the system that has worked:

    I just installed a GTX 970 in my Dell XPS 8500 with questions for the first time.

    It's pieces:

    • Updated my XPS 8500 Motherboard Bios to version "A12" while you wait for my parts arrive
    • EVGA NVIDIA GTX 970 Superclocked Graphics Card (EVGA 04 G-2974-KR)
    • EVGA SuperNOVA 750B 1 750W power supply (PSU) (110-B1-0750-VR)

    Note that I have chosen the 'Return of the fan' version of the card, rather than the version dual fan ATX 2.0.  This is because the design of the housing of the 8500 XPS is not 'Great' traffic.   The style of 'Référence' (shell solid video card with a single fan - which pulls air from the case in... and vents at the rear of the PC) is better suited to the XPS.

    Put a new power supply in a Dell XPS 8500 is a little something.   All ATX power supplies were about the same height and width (150mm or 5.09 ") and (86mm or 3.38").    The problem is the depth.   How deep into your PC can reach (extending to the back of your CD/DVD).   Don't forget, you have this tiny USB/headphone jack thing sunk to half way:

    I did some steps and realized that MAX PSU depth that would work would be approximately 165mm or about 6.5 ".     It's difficult because I wanted a 750w power supply more power and its REALLY, REALLY hard to find good food slot with less than (180 mm/7.09 "").   And who didn't come home.

    I have scoured every Watt 700 +, 80 + certified PSU carried by Newegg (from 01/12/2014).   Then, I checked cross the specs from newegg for each prospect with the manufacter to audit Web site.  I focused only on PSU at least 8 comments and then only if they have averaged a 3.5 rating (unless the low notes were for trivial things like discount).

    After having looked up the plug on more than 200 of the PSU (over a period of 5 hours), I only came with 5 potential:

    • EVGA SuperNOVA 750B 1 $69.99
    • MARINE RX-1000AE 1000W $119.99
    • SeaSonic SS - 750KM 3 750W $139.99
    • CORSAIR AX series AX760 $159.99
    • Coolmax 1200W ZPG-1200 b $282,35

    I also want to remind the reason why you MUST make sure that your power supply is 165mm or less in depth, and you can't say anything by looking at a a particular series.   Many unique models factory in a series which is just 'smaller '.   You have to look at the specifications of each individual model.

    For example, all except a psu on 700 wats EVGA are (180 mm/7.09 po).  Only 750B 1 is about 165mm.   You will also see that he is a 'Bronze' rather than 'Gold' or 'Platinum' unit 80 +.    I suspect it's "BRONZE" side has something to do with the size.   I they omitted huge heat sinks and a little efficiency to achieve the reduction of 15mm in size.   The quality of the PSU is always more than enough for my needs, and the price can not be beat.

    Now for the installation.   I won't say it was EASY to get the power supply into the case.  I had to unplug all my SATA power supply and cables.  I had to bend the cables on top of ATX case a little, and I had to be very patient reconnection.

    I also had to reroute the wire connecting the top of the case to the Mini PCI (?) card slot.   I didn't honestly it only those who were (they sit behind the rear USB sockets on the motherboard), and they snap on with small quotes as the clichés about the Jeans.  I tried to not interrupt them (because they look fragile), but I accidentally their popped.   Thank God they fix on.  There are even small arrows above each terminal (a black solid, outline to indicate white) so get back you them on in the right order.

    I found it very convenient for stuff a lot of cables in the vacuum "floppy" spot below the CD player.   I also found that I had to plug in the cables in a certain order - because some cables blocked the access to the terminals for others.   (SATA/Power to the CD player, for example is right behind UAP.  I had to do these first, because I would never get my fingers here if I saved that for the end).

    Now for the pre-installation preparation.   I updated the BIOS to A12 and downloaded the installer for the GeForce drivers before moving on my hardware.

    Driver Bios A12 two years ago, but they allowed detection of my GTX 970.  Someone asked me for the version of the drivers, so this is:

    Dell XPS 8500 / Vostro 470 system BIOS
    A12. EXE
    Release date October 29, 2013
    Last updated October 31, 2013
    Version A12

    As I said at the beginning, I was on the A09, but A12 is cumulative and takes you all the way (including all versions in the meantime).

    I uninstalled all my old ATI drivers until I stopped the first time.  I did install the Geforce drivers until after I went on my hardware.  (I wanted just the installer on my desktop - ready and waiting).

    Overall - it worked.  The map spans 2-4 "later in the case, but it fits.  The power supply is approximately 4 "away from the back of the CD, but it fits.   And it starts.

    I just finished playing "Far Cry 4' on the Nvidia setting 2560 x 1080.   The new parameter (beyond ultimate) appeared after I plugged on the map.  I also played Assassins Creed Unity (which is what I chose as my free with the card game - since I already had 4 Far Cry).   The two seem to play 60 fps with no problems.

    Because of the fan on the power SUPPLY and the evacuation from the rear video card, my machine works currently more cool now.

    Hope that helps.   My total cost was about $435.  $349 for the card and $69 for the power supply (taxes extra).

    Sincere greetings,

    Andrew Russell

    P.S. If you have questions about this weird brace to the right of the PSU...   I added a 3rd hard drive under the CD player.  There is only the 'Front holes' so I'm a little creative and put up one of the "PCI mounting plates" from an old ATX case.   I folded the right-hand curve and he the perfect length to attach as a cross tube to keep the hard drive in place.

  • New 750TI of nVidia and XPS 8500 card?

    Wow!

    I had been worried about the power supply power when buying a video card more powerful for my XPS 8500.  700 series from nVidia is the beach, I hope to choose, to replace my 'right' TG 640 card oem.

    The new GTX 750 it looks really good. It's a new radical design and functionality has pointed out, is its low power requirements.

    "Twice the performance and half the energy consumption of the previous generation cards."

    It is now on sale for less than $200.  It's a double-wide.  My question today is: what is the best way to sort the different suppliers of package?

    Dell performs several cards from PNY nVidia in the inventory, so on that ground alone, it will probably be my choice.  Does anyone have experiences of good/bad with them?  What other major suppliers such as: MSI, EVGA or Gigabyte?

    I thank the previous suggestion about the GTX 660, that he would work with the budget of power - but this 750 TI deserves a thorough review for any owner of XPS 8500, wanting a better map of the game. If one cannot not have shoe horned in the case, I'll think hard about installing one in my XPS Gen 3 old faithful!

    You don't have to buy a brand PNY, just because Dell sells because it doesn't mean anything. Any brand will do.  I have the EVGA 750 it. EVGA is probably the best selling partner of Nvidia.  If I bought one today, I would certainly consider getting the MSI HERE.  The reason is that the fan accelerates only execution around 32% compared to my EVGA clocked at 42%, which makes it much more quiet and nothing you can do to reduce the fixed fan speed used by the manufacturer.

    These new chips run very cool, so there is no reason to have fans operating at 42% in my opinion.  The MSI card does not require an additional power of 6-pin connection.  Some do it including the EVGA I, but this isn't really a concern.  This is only a concern for those who do not have the power on their power supply connector.

  • SSD boot drive upgrade for XPS 8500

    I want to add a new SSD 128 GB as boot on my XPS 8500 drive when using my original 1 TB hard drive as a data reader.  Questions: Is there a set of instructions on how to better fulfill the new OS install and configure both hard drives?  Can I do a clean install of Win 7 using the Dell XPS 8500 Windows reinstall DVD on the new SSD? The XPS 8500 supports SATA III drives?  Thanks for any help on this.

    An additional question: the processor can be upgraded (from i5 to i7) using the motherboard the original XPS 8500?

    Hi DoctorDED,

    8 GB of memory is sufficient for a machine dedicated to the photo or video editing. However, if you run multiple applications with a lot of resources at the same time especially treatment image or video, CAD or 3D modeling (for example, Premiere Pro, Photoshop and After Effects), then you will surely be benefited by 16 GB of RAM. With more than 8 GB also comes in handy if you make heavy use of virtualization such as Microsoft Hyper-V or VMWare Workstaton tools, especially if you are running multiple operating systems simultaneously.

    Answer please if you have any other questions.

  • All new XPS 8900, card mother USB3.0 connector question

    Hello

    I just got my 8900 XPS nine this week, as a replacement for my Inspiron 530 s who died after 8 years of good service (my previous post on the Dell Community is older than 8 years...). This is the high-end with GTX 960, SSD, 2 TB HDD, 256 MB video card configuration.

    I have a little problem with it and would appreciate an outside opinion on this:

    Yesterday, I opened my 8900 XPS in order to add an additional HARD drive. In the process, I noticed that the hypothesis of fan 960 GTX is pressing firmly against the front, USB 3.0 cable, to the point of the plug is slightly flexed. In addition, the cable is slightly clogging the fan 960 GTX. I was a little displeased with this, as it's clearly inappropriate cable routing. Apart from that, all other cables inside the XPS 8900 are very neatly.

    I removed the GTX 960 (this is necessary in order to remove the HDD cage) and then realized that the façade, USB 3.0 cable is too short, and the plug is very wobbly. I tried to pull gently, to detach the cable and find a better way to move. It seems that the USB 3.0 (the light blue plastic part) is not attached to the motherboard! I noticed the fixing clip, and while pressing it, I lifted the CAP slightly (about 3mm). But decision-making would not unclip and come out as well as the plug. Fear of bending a PIN, I pushed the plug in and gave up trying to detach. Then, I installed the HARD drive and put everything back in, as it was.

    The computer works well. The two façades USB work normally (tested with an external drive USB 2.0). Given that I've already migrated all my data and started to use the computer, I would really dislike having to send it back just for that, unless the issue is a threat of failure in the future...

    My questions are the following:

    -Is it normal that the plastic of the motherboard USB 3.0 connector tip is just pressed (not glued to the motherboard)? If this is not the case, do you think that it has to be fixed or if I can live with it?

    -Do you think I can replace the cable USB-Panel, with a more long (is it standard?) and thus solve the problem for good?

    Thank you!!!

    On mine I disconnected the end of the motherboard and routed it bends 90 degrees and below the map.  To do this I had to unplug it and leave that he unplugged while I routed the flat cable.  Then insert a GTX960 and screwed the card holder in.  With the cable stuck the card in the back, I reconnected it into the motherboard.   I agree that this cable is too short.  Unfortunately, the motherboard connector is microscopic pines which are easily bent or broken.  While I did once, I wouldn't do it again.  This isn't a standard 20-pin connector of the Panel before USB3.

    Worse still, the photos DO NOT see THE real manual 8900 service within a 8900.

    The black usb cable into the blue micro 20 connector pins on the motherboard is not displayed in all images.

    What is a simple but effective update to the XPS 8500 video card? (Computer complete Newb)


    Hello Dell Community. I read through the sticky XPS compatibility and some discussions on upgrading video cards. However, I couldn't find something that fits my needs. If you all can help me with this, would be great!

    Characteristics of the computer:

    • Dell Xps 8500
    • Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHZ
    • 16 GB of Ram
    • 64-bit operating system
    • AMD Radeon HD 7570

    Needs:

    • Run newer games of 2014/2015 without lag on medium to high heat (GTA V)
    • Relatively easy to install (remove some screws and paste the video card in and voila!)
    • No need to upgrade the power supply

    Budget is $ 200-250:

    • Obviously the lower the better and if need be, the budget is flexible. Depends on if the gain is important for the payment of the sum.

    Look forward to your answers!

    Thank you

    Richard

    A card that I know works is $200 would be

    EVGA GeForce GTX 960 SuperSC ACX 2.0 + 2GB GDDR5 128 bit 02 G-P4-2966-KR that it comes with a 2 X 6 pin cable 8 pin Y so the stock power should be good.

    more than 2 GB will not improve the map and it will increase the price.

  • XPS 8500 video upgrade (again) - how long the card maybe? Windows 8 & UEFI?

    (I looked for this information, but I can't find the answer.)

    I have a 8500 XPS which planned to be delivered on Friday.  I got the 7570 stock, because I wanted to shop for my own card.  I think of a Ti-7870 or a 660.

    2 I have search in a third party card that will let me know if it will work with Windows 8/UEFI?  I read a few posts on the machine does not not with some spare cards.

    I've not ridden a PC in a long, long time, and I fear that the new mother/CPU card technology is way beyond my comprehension.  This PC had the kindness of an impulse buy, and I'm starting to regret it.

    Thank you.

  • Replacement of ATI cards in XPS 8500

    Im looking to buy an XPS 8500 system to replace my old, but faithful, XPS 720, when Dell begins to deliver systems with Win 8 onboard in native mode. My question is if I can replace the ATI onbard with an a nVidia card like nVidia n guy? Thank you!

    Eric

    Yes.  AMD or Nvidia cards will work.  With the new 8500, I'd look for recent PCI Express 3.0 cards because the motherboard will support them.  Therefore, the 7000 series AMD or Nvidia 600 series.  More Nvidia GTX 600 cards will be released if all goes well, by the time you want to get one that will work with your diet.  Do not forget that the 8500 XPS will have only one unit of 460 watts compared to what you have on your 720 which is either 750 or 1000 watts.

    FaceTime is forbidden by the law in Saudi Arabia and the UNITED Arab Emirates and is removed from iPhones sold in other countries of the Middle East, if they are used outside the country where they were originally sold. If you plan to use an iPhone outside the Middle East, then don't buy it in the Middle East. The one you bought there FaceTime was illegally imported from another region and sold it.

  • Satellite M60: cannot install the latest driver for my graphics card

    Can not install the latest driver for my graphics card
    Satellite M60
    GRAPHICS ATI MOBILITY RADEON X 700

    Hello

    First of all I'm really putting t understand why you start two topics with the same theme. It is often better to have a subject with good content and interesting comments. Am I wrong? ;)

    Anyway, in your case, it is interesting that Toshiba use adapted drivers because of the material. This means that this graphics card is not required to run at the maximum level. Material cooling in laptops is very problematic and high temperature can cause overheating or a material damage. All hardware components are placed on a small square. Graphics card produces a lot of heat and it is not so good for other material.

    When you use graphic driver non-Toshiba card is forced to run faster. That's any use of support laptop manufacturers don t of third party drivers. The fact is that physical protection is a priority.

    I didn t do all the experiments, but according to some reports on this forum, there is how to install the driver of non-Toshiba graphics card.

    Please check this forum and you can find a lot of comments about this. An interesting topic is http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=18063&messageID=66186
