XPS 8100: Compatible power supplies

Before that I bought the 8100 that I had to replace the power supply XPS 420 older computer.  This proved irritating, since she did not had a standard power supply and a necessary compatible with Dell.  In preparation for the upgrade to a Nvidia GTX 460, I need to upgrade the anemic 350w power supply in this machine at least 500w.  What brands have other used?  I have the service manual so I can replace it's pretty easy.  I don't want to spend $80 on a new PS and come back over and over again trying to find one that matches.

Thank you all.

Don't know why you had a moment difficult with feeding 420 as who would take any standard ATX power supply with a 20 + 4 or 24-pin. The 8100 will be the same. Dell stopped using supplies owners a few years ago and all the newer systems like the 8100 will have standard ATX 24 pin supplies.

  • OptiPlex 330 (tour) - compatible power supplies?

    I have a Dell Optiplex 330 minitower with a 305 Watt power supply. I get an absolute beast of a video soon card that exceeds the power of this power supply - unfortunately I need about 400 Watts for safety. I need to know if I need a diet that says explicitly that it is compatible with this model, or if I can get away with a standard ATX or same BTX power supply. Dell does not offer anything better than a 305 Watt power supply, unfortunately and the only model I found on Internet, which specifically mentions compatibility with the cost of my model supply almost $100. Someone at - it experience with the upgrade of power supply to the case of this model, or find out if Dell has stopped using power connectors card mother owner?


  • Upgrade XPS 8100 GPU for video editing? (of GTS 240-> GT 630 Kepler)

    I have older XPS 8100 with power supply 350 W, PCIe v2.

    It comes with Nvidia GTS 240

    • Hearts CUDA 112
    • 1 GB 128- bit memory DDR3 memory

    Is it wise to update to GT 630 Kepler who has more CUDA cores and memory bigger BUT less bandwidth! Note There are several flavors of the GT 630 map. The Kepler there CUDA more but less bandwidth. It also uses an architecture of nm 28 (?) so it consumes less energy...

    • 384 CUDA cores
    • 2 GB memory 64- bit memory DDR3

    I'm just trying to give my older office a little boost so I can keep it a little longer. Just to get into video editing (videos of simple talking heads HD of Canon DSLR mainly for the YouTube/web but can experiment a bit with After Effect too)

    Other improvements, I foresee:

    • Replace the main (and only) with a SSD for the OS
    • Add controller SATA III Housing Board (motherboard currently supports only SATA II)
    • Add 1 or 2 7200 TPM (WD Caviar Black or Seagate Barracuda SATA III), although thought rather than the RAID 0 for speed I was going to do separate so I can use different drives for data, source on one and previews, cache files, etc. on the other hand
    • Add 3 USB so that I can also external platforms if needed is, like maybe keep my second internal drive and the third disk external but connected via eSATA III or USB 3

    Given the hassle and expenses, I have no intend to upgrade the i5 processor (1st generation I think) or the power supply. Is the system otherwise "balanced" for what I'll use to?

    The 630 GT would be a downgrade from the GTS 240.  I would look at the GTX 650 for an upgrade.  A GT 640 would also be an upgrade at the best prices.

  • Power supply upgrade for my Dell XPS 8100?

    I'm looking to upgrade my Dell XPS 8100 power OEM 350W at a minimum 550W power supply so I can install a Blu - Ray reader & writer drive, & so I can replace the ATi Radeon HD 5570 1 GB GDRR5 graphics card with 2 GB or 4 GB of GDDR5. What would be a good power supply for my computer?

    Here are my specs:

    Intel Core i7-870,

    16 GB of DDR3 Ram(was 8GB but I upgraded to 16GB),

    HD 1.5 TB,

    ATi Radeon HD 5570 1 GB GDDR5.

    In addition, this card will work fine with my computer:

    & What will be a good Blu - Ray burner for my computer which is not too expensive?

    It's my computer right now:

    Here's a post that details what the size fits:

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/t/19483753

    But...

    740 GT is not much faster that the Radeon 5570 then this isn't much of an upgrade. What do you who needs 4 GB of RAM - V?

    Have you watched a 4 GB GTX 750 ti? Much faster...

    www.newegg.com/.../Product.aspx

    If you go with a GT 740, according to me, he can use less energy than the 5570, and if you buy a 'green' BluRay burner, it can use less energy than your current optical drive.

  • Studio XPS 8100, GPU upgrades?

    Nice day. I hope an expert can help me.

    Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 240 single memory 1 GB. Reading, not sold at retail and is now no longer available

    I do not use the computer to play games. Graphics card fan started making noise and heat, perhaps should be changed. I can on this card - EVGA GeForce GT 620 700 MHz HDMI PCI-Express could it be a compatible replacement. CCAN you Please provide DETAILS for me a graphics card in replacement of approximately the same 'power' +. I can myself, slot load driver and be operational. No not in the evolution of the other pieces. In the meantime, thank you for your help.

    You've always had a "have a constant orange light on the motherboard" means that you have AC and 5v standby is available.  If you have no light there is no input power and so you will NEVER turn. The day before on the card itself power light. Once the PC is plugged in and power supply is turned on, even if the PC is always OFF. Because the LED is about the size of a bullet, some call it at the flea market.

  • Studio XPS 8100 does not start

    Hello!  I have a 2010 studio xps 8100 (Intel (r) Core i7 CPU 860 to 2.80 GHz, 8 GB ram) and it's great when it works.  Last week, I was out of town and when I came back it would not start upward.  I can turn it on and start the fans, but it does not pass the POST and therefore does not start.  I tested the ram and it seemed ok (two beeps when trying to boot without ram, no beeps when ram is correctly placed).  The original of the graphics card died last year and I had it replaced with an EVGA Geforce GTX 750, I chose because it was one of the few cards that could work with the power supply 350w provided with your computer.  I thought that maybe the PSU was then replaced by a 500w PSU, but the problem persists.  I then read somewhere that if you SNYC date/time problems (which I was when the computer would turn on) that you need to replace the battery on the motherboard, so I did and still does not start.  I don't know what I can do, is the dead motherboard?  I tried the drain the power thing (release the button so that disconnected power for 30 seconds) and that didn't work either.

    maddygillis
    Yes, but I'm sure that the battery is not the issue.  If it was I'd get stack codes error beep (5 beeps).

    Not necessarily...

    maddygillis
    It does not pass the POST because it does not start...

    If the video card is faulty, the PC can still start but you just do nothing appears on the monitor, so I don't know that you can actually say that it does not pass POST.

    When you have tested the monitor with your laptop, did you use the same cable and video port on the monitor that you use with desktop? If you have used another port on the screen with the laptop with the office, this is not a fair test.

    Have you tried reinstalling the video card into its slot and check the connections of the video cable at both ends?

    This system has onboard video and Pluggable software component video card. So, you can remove the add-in card and switch the monitor to the onboard video port. According to the specifications, the onboard video has HDMI and DVI outputs, so assuming that your monitor supports either people, you have an easy way to test more.

    NOTE: The embedded video ports are DISABLED unless you physically remove the video card. If you cannot move just the video cable to a built-in port while the video card is installed.

  • Studio XPS 8100. Update graphics Nvidia GTX 650 or 750 GTX

    Hello

    I have a studio XPs 8100 with a Radeon 5770 (1 GB) graphics card. If it was a good card when I bought the system, I think to upgrade the card to an Nvidia GTX 650 (4 GB) or a 750 GTX card 2GB.

    Apart from buying a new power of W 600 or 700 unit, is there anything I should know about?  Did anyone tried these cards in the XPS 8100? The motherboard and the case would argue one of them?  I have a GB of Ram 1333 6, I have to increase it too?

    Thank you very much in advance for the help.

    I have not had to install a new ps. The 750 TI FTW attracts only and extra 25 watts and a regular 750 TI does not yet use this extra power. And Yes, you can change the ps in a 8100 but they are irregular in size but can be found. I'd say you'd be fine with any 750 cards and honestly, you can get 50 fps or better in most of the games with them, a lot of maps. My son has a ti 750 FTW in a xps 8700 and gets 70-80 fps in his favorite tank game.

  • What is the cheapest video card that will work in a Dell Studio XPS 8100?

    Map of 5770 in my Studio XPS 8100 seems to be dying.  The screen keeps have corrupted and I can't do anything until I restart, then it happens after a few minutes.  I have a corsair cx430 power supply installed.

    The only weird thing I've noticed is that when it is started in safe mode the display seems to work perfectly.

    This machine is my server machine, so I only need to make a minimum of working directly on the machine.

    I think I should just replace the video card.  What is the cheapest video card / lowest which will work in my 8100?

    Thank you

  • Reader XPS 8100 and 4 TB

    A Dell Studio XPS 8100 recognize a 4 TB internal hard drive? Win 7 64 bit Pro recognizes the secondary drive (GPT) as part of just 2 TB.

    Hi birdwoman,.

    If you are running Windows 7 x 64, you may be able to use a 4 to like a record of internal data (and not as a boot disk) or connect the drive as the second drive internal and initialize the TPG, not of MBR.

    Dell Studio XPS 8100 is not compatible with UEFI. Thus, a startup GPT disk cannot be used for the start of the BONE. As far as I KNOW, an MBR disk can access drives of 2 TB. I did some research and found a work around that you try.

    Western Digital avoids this on PRE UEFI bios systems with 64-bit OS and a system with 1 PCI - E X 1 slot free. More than 2 TB requires a 64-bit OS and Bios extension via controller. The controller they use is made by Highpoint. HighPoint RocketRAID 620 PCI-Express 2.0 x 1 SATA III (6.0 GB/s) controller card

    I really don't understand if the new WD10EZEX 1 TB, SATA 6 Gb/s, is compatible with the Dell XPS 8100 that currently has a no work Samsung HD 103SJ SATA 3.00.

  • Replacement radiator/fan CPU in Studio XPS 8100 problems

    I'm looking to replace the CPU fan/radiator in my Studio XPS 8100 desktop computer, using a Dell model 0TJ5T2 (http://i.imgur.com/NMu2wYk.jpg is my actual unit).  The Amazon seller, I ordered it from class compatible with the 8100 XPS (www.amazon.com/.../B008B9MUJ6; redirect = true & ref_ = oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00), but I'm having an extremely difficult time, install the new fan.  The screws on the line of the fan with the holes on the motherboard upward; but when I press firmly on one of their chiefs/Springs, the screw's not going deep enough to really catch on anything whatsoever (and pressure usually ends up causing the heatsink to slip away from the CPU).  Y at - it something I am doing wrong, or this model fan is not really compatible with the 8100?

    There is a thread X on the bottom of the motherboard heatsink live in.

  • Question of graphics Dell Studio XPS 8100

    I plan to upgrade my desktop computer Dell Studio XPS 8100 with a new graphics card, so that I can play new games such as Skyrim and Star Wars the old republic.

    Can someone tell me which of these cards is best for this purpose, corresponds to my computer and if other changes are needed (ideally no)?

    EVGA GTX 550 VGA (GDDR5, PCI-Express, 2 GB)
    Sapphire 6750 (PCI Express, DDR3, 2 GB)
    Sapphire 6790 (PCI-Express, GDDR5, 1 GB)
    PALIT GTX 550 Ti (GDDR5, PCI Express, 1 GB)

    Thanks in advance,

    Sikkaech

    Based on the recommended for Skyrim card, you will need to go with the HD 6790 or GTX 550 it.  However, your biggest problem is food that is only 350 watts.  For all these cards, a higher power is recommended by the manufacturer.  The HD 6790 is the best on the list with the GTX 550 Ti in 2nd.  I'll take the other two on your list because they would fall the recommended card, but they would always play the games.   I would recommend if you upgrade the power supply to go with a unit of minimum mark of 500 watts with the necessary connections.

    Skyrim recommended card: 1 GB RAM NVIDIA or AMD ATI video card (Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 or higher; ATI Radeon 4890 or higher).  Old video card then the ones I showed would be comparable.

    If you choose not to change your diet, a GTS 450 or HD 6750 can work.  I don't see much interest to get a card of 2 GB to this level.  It's going to be better than GDDR3 memory GDDR5.

  • Update graphics card for Studio XPS 8100 with 600W PSU

    Hello

    I just joined the forums of Dell and I was wondering if I could get help for choosing a new graphics card for my studio xps 8100.

    I just bought a power SUPPLY Corsair 600w PSU and was looking for a good graphics card for games (something which runs the games current and near future at the top or above), preferably between 70 and 100 pounds. I took a look at the Geforce GTX 650, and I think that the power supply 600w she'll be fine, but I wasn't sure whether she would be fit in my office. Any advice on the appropriateness of the GTX 650 will fit / work, or any recommendation of something better, would be great.

    See you soon

    Hello Oni21,

    My apologies for the delay in response and if was not clear in my previous post. I wanted to say before you buy the GTX650, take the computer to a local store and check if the graphics card works on the system.

    Please write again if you have any additional questions.

  • Dell XPS 8100 windows 10 update?

    Anyone have successfully improved a XPS 8100 to Windows 10? Microsoft says it is compatible, but Dell said it does not test Windows drivers for Windows 10 for this model and some things may not work

    I have Windows 7 64-bit. My inclination does not do despite aggressive reminders every day.

    I have a XPS 8100 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed.  I accepted the invitation of Ms. development upgraded to Windows 10 64-bit in August and apart from having to reinstall a few minor applications, have had no aging with the upgrade.

  • Dell XPS 8100 PSU and GPU updates

    So heads up, I've never updated a computer in this way before. I opened the box a few times to clean the old GPU and replace the old with the new GTX 260 240 when I got it, but beyond that nothing. I know that I need to upgrade my GPU, fortunately, my best friend gave me a GTX 750 Ti 2048 MB PCIe graphic card and I wonder if I could install in my XPS 8100 and already use it. I was told that in the Dell 350W POWER supply is sufficient to run it, but I'm not sure and would like to double check.

    However, should I I need a new power supply, I was told that SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 80 PLUS BRONZE certified Active PFC power supply PSU will fit the Dell case but here a double confirmation directly from Dell forums - especially after a call with Dell technical support told me that there is no way to upgrade the PSU. There is also the modular version M12II, but it seems that the dimensions on this would mean that he did not fit into the XPS 8100?

    Ruinus

    The GTX 750 Ti 2048 MB PCIe graphics card should work fine with the default power of XPS 8100.
