• Person we know what power supply is on the XPS 8300

  Hello

  I have a Dell XPS 8300 and you want to buy a video card double to support two monitors.  I read a few different items to a 500 Watt power supply.  I looked on the delivery, when I bought the 8300, but it does not show the power.  Other than opening the case, is there a way I can find food that is installed?

  Thank you!!!

  I think it's the same thing that the 8500 is 460W, which has two six pin PCIe power connectors.

  What exact card do you?

  In addition, if you have not opened the file in a while, you could do this (outside) with a can of compressed clean air on the dust bunnies.

• Card mother XPS 8300

  Hello

  I think the motherboard in my XPS 8300 is trying to die, or at least give me a lot of trouble.

  I get different blue screens lately, quite often (up to twice a day). Almost everytime, they were accompanied by sounds from my hard drive (for example, the disc to stop spinning, etc.). If naturally my first step was to get another hard drive and try to back up my data (thinking my hard drive was dying).

  I tried with various programs of cloning (AOMEI Backupper, CloneZilla and so on) and they have all failed to clone the drive (usually say they could not create the new disk partition table). I then tried to install Windows 10 fresh on the new drive (with the old drive disconnected) and who also failed with windows saying that it could not format the partition just created on the new drive.

  Because the drive is new, I thought, as a test, I will try to connect to another machine to see if it still would not work. Well, it works fine. I am currently cloning my old drive to my new as I wrte it on the other machine. So at least there is that - my data should be safe. I might have bought a hard drive for nothing, but that doesn't matter that much.

  An extra tidbit of information, it's that even starting from the cloning software CD was much faster on this machine on my XPS 8300.

  So I think at the very least, the drive on the motherboard controller gives me bad.

  Now, my question.

  I want to try buying a replacement motherboard, because the whole machine is still very fast (the CPU is one of the first core i7s, but it is always fast and I replaced the card graphics and RAM over the years). So if I was able to solve this problem, I could always get a lot of use from this computer.

  Should I try to get the same motherboard model (i.e. a replacement motherboard for Dell this type exact) Dell or that I can find on ebay for example?

  Or should I get a micro-ATX Socket 1155 motherboard to another brand of renown such as ASUS or other?

  Honestly, I'm afraid that if I get an original parts of the same exact type, it will just fail again somehow not too long from now. This motherboard is actually a replacement that Dell sent a technician to install in my machine after I bought it, because the motherboard of the computer delivered with had a defect... And now this, so I'm not exactly sure in original spare parts from Dell...

  I found information on this thread:

  Link to thread

  on this same forum explaining what are the specific connectors of the XPS 8300 motherboard, so I should be able to connect any motherboard that fits the case.

  What are your recommendations? Thanks in advance.

  Hello RoHe,

  I ran thorough tests of RAM and HDD diagnosis. It took a long time (about 12 hours), but revealed no problem.

  I was able to replace my motherboard.

  I wanted to let you know also, that Windows was able to start on the new motherboard (after a phase of 'prepare the pilots' as when you install at the start). Also, it was not enabled when I started, but I was able to use the Windows 7 Pro key that came with my Dell to activate the already installed Windows 10 Pro, it worked like a charm.

  So it was way less problems you said it would be, and now my machine is in excellent working condition.

  Thank you.

  I have the Dell xps 8300 Intel core i7-2600 processor 3.40 GHz AMD Radeon 6670.I graphics card would like to move my PSU and graphics card. I would like to know my high-end video card. I think on gtx 970. It works with my pc

  Maybe not. There seems to be some compatibility issues with Nvidia.

  A Radeon 7950 and corsair CS850M would be perhaps in order.

• NVidia Geforce GTX 960 in XPS 8300

  Hi, I'm looking to upgrade the graphics card Radeon HD 6450 in my XPS 8300 a GTX 960 (specifically, the edition of Strix ASUS) and I have a few questions:

  He enters the case? (dimensions of the card: 21.52 x 12.12 x4.09 centimeters)

  Will it work with the motherboard? (the card is pcie 3.0)

  It will work with food? (460w power supply card 'up to 150W additional 6-pin PCIe consumption)

  Sorry if I look like a noob but this is my first time upgrading a platform.

  Thank you!

  The graphics card:

  www.Asus.com/.../

  The stock answer from Dell, it's that they tested only a handful of older cards.

  The reality is that many have done on an 8300. Search this forum and see what worked.

  Insofar as the PSU, yes the stock PSU THAT will work with a GTX 960. It has a PCI power with two cable six pins on the connectors. If the specific card you choose has a connector 8 pins, most of the cards equipped with a 8 pin adapter 6.

  I'm not 100% on the supply POWER 8300 has two six pin PCI connector.  Best to open the case and look. I thought the 8500, a member of the family was when I wrote this.

  But, how old is your system, and how much time it runs a day that it might be time to consider a new power supply. If so, search the forums for what everyone puts in their 8300, 8700 or 8900 again. They are in the same case and best I can tell essentially the same power supply.

  Another advantage of upgrading the PSU will be slightly more efficient and quieter.

  I upgraded to Seasonic X - 650 s of my 8700 s two and have the OEM in a box as a spare for the members of the family.

  So, while I'm spending your money, you might consider a GTX 970. Prices are down because the next generation of cards is almost here. If you're game, you can consider a little more power under the hood of the GPU.

• Dell XPS 8300 Motherboard case Compatability

• XPS 8300 and GTX 980 Ti

  Hello

  I have an a XPS 8300, I was wondering if it will work with a GTX 980 Ti assuming that:

  • Power supply is upgraded (already have)
  • fits in the case (go to check)
  • Updated BIOS (I'm sure that I have of the A06 Bios will check)
  • have minimum 8G of ram (I do).
  • Still using Win 7.

  from what I've read, 980 seems to work if you have the above. What about a Ti 980?

  is there anything else I should be worried?

  Thank you

  On this page there was a guy by the name of "SlimJ87D" who put a 980ti in a 8700 successfully. I think it's basically the same deal.

  Unfortunately, due to the connectors being the end of the map that they were under the metal aside for him then, he said, it was not enough space to put in the pin connectors, while his shear part of the metal that you see in the picture he posted on this page that I linked.

  You may need to do the same thing that ti 980 you get. He used the MSI file that is listed as 5.51 inches in height.

  A smaller in size might very well fit. Here "agentblue" said the ti-980 EVGA adapt without the need to change the case. The ti PNY 980 is similar in size to the EVGA so it would probably be good too. Most of the others seem to be larger.

• XPS 8300 - Ivy Bridge & RAM support

  I tried looking for a forum, post, comment... anything which confirms what is the maximum RAM supported in a Dell XPS 8300 and also whether Ivy Bridge CPU are taken in charge or not.

  I am yet to find anything conclusive (Please share if you have), so, I did the test myself and can confirm the following:

  • Ivy Bridge CPU compatibility: No.
  • Maximum RAM: 32 GB

  I tested my 8300 XPS with Intel Core i7-3770 processor (8 M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz) and the system would not POST. No beep codes; just would not AFTER. Then I'm under BIOS A06, of course, this has not helped. I read on this forum someone talking about a BIOS A07 which came bundled with their XPS 8300 (0Y2MRG) of replacement motherboard. If anyone knows how to get this BIOS A07 I'd like to get my hands on it to see if it offers support of Ivy Bridge.

  Regarding the RAM, I am running 32 GB of RAM without problem. I use 4 x G.Skill RipJawsX 8 GB (1x8GB) 1333 MHz DDR3 PC3 - 10666C 9 Memory Sticks (F3-10666CL9S-8GBXL). The BIOS and OS the two report 32 GB installed and everything works well.

  I hope someone benefits from my findings and I also hope that someone out there has access to the BIOS A07 is ready to share.

  You already know the answer, but I share this as another data point and using another brand for memory.

  Maximum RAM supported Dell for this system is 16 GB. However, it works very well with 32 GB of RAM. I've used this kit of memory in mine:

  Corsair XMS3 32 GB (4X8Go) DDR3 1333 MHz (PC3 10666) memory (CMX32GX3M4A1333C9) Fund

  No doubt others works fine, too. The only downside is that most Dells would come with Windows 7 Home Premium installed and which only allows access to 16 GB of RAM. You must have Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition to access all 32 GB of RAM. You can make the Windows Anytime Upgrade to buy Win7 Pro if you want to go this route, it as if by magic basically makes your existing install in Win7 Pro, so you don't have to reinstall anything.

  If you put more than 16 GB in a system of Home Premium, when you right click on computer and go to properties, you will see the memory listed as 32 GB (16 GB usable). So the operating system you will see everything, it just won't let you USE it all. Hard, there is?

  I had looked at this issue and not have anything solid for an answer so I tried myself and write about my success.

• XPS 8300 system crashes then stop - 3 beeps

  I need help.  Recently, my XPS 8300 crashes after about 1 minute after the system starts and stops it down and restarts automatically.  on restart I get nothing but 3 beeps and the power button is orange.

  Help, please.  Brian

  What happens when you press F2?

  Win 10, let's start with the PC off. Press the power button and press IMMEDIATELY on F2 (not him hold). The 'window' (no pun intended) to press F2 is very low because Win 10 starts the boot process very quickly.

• New Dell XPS 8300 constantly lock up... Help

  Hi, I have bought and received last week a new XPS 8300... Intel Core i5-2300, 8 GB of RAM... of the big problems right off the bat.

  The computer hangs regularly completely, making the mouse + keyboard is useless, and the only way out is to do a hard reboot (button for 5 seconds to turn it off, then turn it back on). There is no blue screen of death, rather the image on the monitor just freezes. What happens once per hour, which is totally unacceptable. There is no apparent trigger, it occurs while I'm on the Internet, while I'm in MS office, while the screen saver is on, etc.

  At first I thought that it could be a driver problem with the monitor (my Samsung, Dell no), but I installed the proper drivers and it still occurs. Then I thought it could be malicious software (even on a new computer), but a thorough analysis revealed nothing. I'm afraid now that it is a problem of the CPU heat and took to temporarily put a fan life-size in the face of the case of the Tower, which is already well ventilated. This has apparently slowed the fair of the grip, but they still arise. I have already installed a few programs and transferred a few files and really don't want to go through the hassle of referred to Dell for weeks.

  Any thoughts? Anyone with similar problems? It's maddening.

  Good news: the new video card works great.

  Problem: Freeze the system hard. To see if you're hard frozen, press [CAPSLOCK] - If your keyboard led doesn't change, then you're hard frozen.

  Overview of the steps:

  * Full system reinstall twice

  * All the drivers reinstalled twice (DELL and manufacturer)

  All change memory (and back)

  * Supply voltage test

  * Test memory full w / using Diagnostics: tester of Dell Diagnostics Memory Diagnostic Windows, Linux (Hiren s)

  * Checking the system with the Dell Diagnostics.

  * CPU - Z checking to ensure this chipset was not in the recall list.

  After all the Frost was still involved. So with the system in the State of origin (via Dell Restore), I installed a 9800GT graphics card and the gel stopped. I checked the ATI again, freezing, older drivers still froze. Reference Dell shipped a GTX560ti and the system works perfectly.

  It is not a widespread report of all cards ATI in i7 systems does not so I don't think it's just a driver problem, I think that the problem is related to this chipset supporting not communication with the GPU via the ATI drivers.

  Solution: Replace video card with Dell supplied GTX560 ti

  ----

  Note: For a few users NVIDIA with the gel, please follow all the troubleshooting procedures in hand with Support from Dell. Likely to start site: drivers, Ram, video card, storage.

  I hope everyone has good luck with them!

• XPS 8300 GPU Upgrade

  Hello

  I bought my XPS 8300 in 2011. He's been good for me over the years, but now I find that I could use a GPU upgrade. It handles most of the games, but barely meets the minimum. I'm still running Windows 7, but plan on spending at 10 at the end of the year. It has the stock power 460W Dell I have probably as well to replace it. I want the best move that will run on this system and fit in the case. It has the following specifications:
  CPU [email protected]
  16 GB of RAM
  GPU AMD HD 6700

  Thank you.

  As a reminder, Dell will not validate Windows 8/8.1/10 on this model. So, you will need to look elsewhere for drivers.

  Detail of video cards reported by users to work with our power 460w =

• Update for Dell XPS 8300

  Will be the 02 G-P4-2663-KR of EVGA Geforce GTX 660 FTW Signature 2 2 GB GDDR5 192 bits PCI-E 3.0 x 16 HDCP and the Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus RS-550-PCAR-E3 550w ATX12V V2.3 power supply work in my computer Dell XPS 8300. I ordered end of March 2012 and he received mid April 2012.

  Hi FuzzyTrex,

  Dell XPS 8300 comes with Intel H67 Chipset and a PCI Express x 16 card reader for the expansion of video card options. Dell has tested XPS 8300 with the following video cards:

  • ATI Radeon HD 5450 5670 5770 5870 6670 6770 6870 6950
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 GTX 460 GTX560Ti GT545 GT420

  However, Dell has not tested 660 GTX video card with XPS 8300, many users have reported he will be working and compatible with the system.

  EVGA GTX 660 requires a minimum of 450W power supply and has a maximum circulation of power of 140W. As you said that you would improve the power of 550W, the video card should work with this configuration.

  For installation/replacement of the video card, you can view XPS 8300 repair here.

  Note: Make sure that you follow the instructions in the manual before installing the video card.

  I hope this helps.

• Audio connections on the back panel of XPS 8300

  Audio connections can be found in the Installation Guide PDF differ from my XPS 8300.  The Guide of SU watch 6 connections (in 2 rows of 3) in the middle section (above the expansion card slots) who perform the following fintions;

  The top (from left to right) row - connector Surround l/r Surround l/r rear connector, Center speaker connector

  Row of the bottom (from left to right) - Microphone connector, front l/r output connector, Connector Line In.

  My machine has 5 connections colored in the lower expansion slot, but I have no other document indicated which entry do.

  Connections (running from left to right looking at the rear of the machine) are black, Orange, grey, green, blue.

  Can someone tell me what color does that work?

  Thank you very much

• XPS 8300, upgrade video card

  Hi I have a Dell XPS8300

  It came with the card AMD Radeon HD 6450, but there isn't enough good run the latest games, not even with settings very low... This is why I intend to upgrade that.

  The problem is that I don't know if the map I want to buy is compatible or if I could make it work... I'm really new to this so I need a little help please...

  It's the map: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Superclock-Dual-Link-Graphics-02G-P4-3753-KR/dp/B00IDG3IDO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1401905637&sr=8-4&keywords=nvidia+gtx+780

  Im not in that of a hardcore gamer who wants ultra graphics on all games, I want to just that my PC to run the latest games at least on a medium to high heat (or even low) with decent FPS...

  I believe that my 6 GB DDR3 RAM and Intel core i5-2300 (2.80 Ghz) with this video card should be enough.

  Please let me know (any expert on the subject) if I can use this card without problem so I can just click 'buy' haha. Or if it something else I have to make it work please let me know

  Thanks :)!

  GTX 560 it is no longer on the market so there is no need to buy this card unless you found it used for $100 or less on ebay.  The GTX 750 Ti is a better deal for a new card and I'd get this one.  I've seen where users have for their XPS 8300 GTX 750 it and it works fine.

• Dell XPS 8300 GPU issues

  I had a Dell XPS 8300 since 2011.

  The specifications are:

  Image Intel i7-2600 3.4ghz processor

  460W POWER supply

  8 GB RAM

  Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 5670 1 GB GDDR5

  My problem is that my video card is dead after 4 years and I need a replacement as good, or better, for less than $100. At first, I thought it was easy. Ordered a GT 730, a card nice entrance a little better than the 5670 range and more efficient power and he went through the installation process. The AMD drivers, uninstalled, change video card and it fits perfectly. The problem is that I just get a black screen on startup or, sometimes, the Dell splash screen.

  After hours of research I discovered that this won't work because the motherboard, 0y2mrg and it's bios, A06, are incompatible with the new GPU. Seriously? Rarely have I never heard of this problem. The last update is in 2011, the same year that I got this PC when it was new. What the hell with the lack of support?

  Whether it is, I'll find something which is compatible, but unnecessarily difficult. Those who have asked the same question to be taken from a few years ago and expired or no response. I've seen the Dell has approved the cards and they are ridiculously overpriced for what they are. The 5670 is a super card low-end and was again released as a back then, but Dell wants to sell for more than $200? If I try to look for it on other sites, like Amazon or Newegg, it is almost impossible to find or too expensive.

  My question is this, what is a good video card that costs more than $100 - $110 that works with the card mother Dell XPS 8300 and requires no other parts to change?

  Yes, I actually. The variant 750 GTX & it worked perfectly. I guess that something more old than they would be too much like GTX 780 if you wanted something strong, but you would probably need a bigger power supply. The GT 720 and 730 WON'T WORK if you wanted a less expensive solution. The GTX 750 TI is perfect as a modest solution however.
