- Опубліковано 15 тра 2024
- Dell’s new workstation lineup includes the 5820, 7820, and the 7920 Tower workstations. There’s also a 7920 Rack workstation providing greater security, manageability, and support for multiple users. Dell has also added a few entry-level towers to their portfolio, like the Precision 3630. But today we are looking at the Dell Precision 5820 tower workstation, which is the next step up from the entry-level workstations. This is not the most powerful workstation in the world but ask yourself, “do you really need the most powerful workstation in the world?” Most of us would say yes, until realizing I said…Watch the video!

Is the Precision line generally more beefy with fewer bugs than their XPS series? Most of my work is done through online apps but I do need photo and video editing. My current XPS tower just seems to slow down too often even using Fios 100 Gb. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
I think I made a mistake? I ordered one with just a 2.5” 1 TB HDD only. Should I have gotten an 2.5” 256gb m.2 SSD class 40 instead? Or would one of each had been sufficient? I did order it with a Xeon w2123 with dual Radeon pro wx 2100. I intended to use the computer as somewhat an entry level workstation. It has not shipped yet so I’m assuming now would be the only chance to add a m.2 256gb SSD class 40 before shipment, unless Would I be able to purchase one and install it myself considering It will come with a 425W Chassis? Any help/ advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
Hi, on dell site it offers the 5820 with option for xeon or 8th gen core cpus. Is motherboard/socket the same for each option, or what I am really getting at, can u upgrade/change cpu from xeon to core, core to xeon later? Thanks.
I got dell precision 5820 today with intel xeon w-2235 6 core cpu, nvme 512gb, 32 gb ram. All other workstation features. I have rtx 2070 so I didn't go for Quadro card.
Its far better than any gaming rig in terms of continuous performance.
Well Played IT Boy!
Hi @hasan ayham
Yes we do, but there may be additional fees or duties from the customs department in Saudi Arabia. That said, contact our sales department if you are looking for something sales@itcreations.com
Thanks for watching Hasan!
Yep. I have built gaming rigs in the past and would never go back to that. I have the older versions of this machine 5810 and 7810 and and these things are rock solid, super easy to work on (e.g. no screwdrivers needed for anything). I have also built a couple of gaming rigs based on the 5810 using the E5-2667 V4 CPU (cheap now days), one with a GTX1080 and one with a 1070ti. The owners cannot believe the performance and how cool and quiet they run, and they never crash. These things are underrated for what they can do.
I have the same processor and the same ram except I have 1 tb hard disk and a 256 gb ssd. I got the radeon wx 5100 GPU. All of this just for 890 dollars. Not a bad price tbh. I just want to upgrade the graphics card later in the future.
Hi IT Boy, quick doubt, as per your spec, is your NVMe Drive mounted on the Flex Bay or on an addin PCIe Card? And does the Front Flex-Bay support NVMe M.2 or just SATA M.2?
this guy doesn't blink
I'm actually an AI and this is an experiment in human behavior that seeks to determine the feasibility of replacing human presenters by identify ways to make the performance more real. I just made that up. In reality my eyes look like road maps from staring at the computer screen writing these scripts and having bright lights in my face for an hour while we film. Thanks for watching and I will try to blink more in the future.
IT Creations, Inc. Haha! 😂💪
Hahaha!!
I just want to be able to get creative. Make animations, film and edit short movies even. The vr ability sounds real cool, i don't even know what that means 😂 i am honestly wondering if the 5820 is too much computing power for what i have in mind? Help?

Hi, thanks so much for your review! Quick question about multiple monitors -- could you technically get mutli-monitor support by using a HDMI/DisplayPort adapter on the USB-C ports? Everything else about this system looks great but just would prefer to get a 2-3 screen workflow without going through a 3rd party. Appreciate any info :3
Hi Mark, These systems are designed to work with GPUs and far as I know have no integrated video. It will handle two 300W GPUs if you have the 925W power supply. I believe you can run 4 monitors using just one GPU, as many do have up to 4x display ports or combination DP and HDMI. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
@@Itcreations-LA Appreciate the info, all the best!
Hello IT Creations , need your help for Dell T5820 W series workstation , and i am facing delay boot time around 20 to 30 second and my second point is once i got my pc the starting dell logo appearing but after fresh windows installation dell logo not appeared. my fresh windoes is UEFI
That is normal, it works fine.
Does this workstation can be used for a CG artist (Zbrush/Maya/Arnold) ?
Hi Andrew,
Yes. This system can be used for computer generated graphics. While it is the least powerful of HP's workstations it is still very capable with just a single processor. Here are a few documents to get you up to speed with what Maya requires:
AutoDesk Maya Requirements: knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/System-requirements-for-Autodesk-Maya.html
An Article from ITPro, scroll to the end for more information regarding Maya specifically: www.itpro.co.uk/hardware/30704/dell-precision-5820-review-a-solid-all-rounder-but-it-s-not-cheap
Lastly, this is the free for download through Dell.com, the Precision Optimizer, which you use as a launch window for your applications and automatically micro-adjusts your system for the best performance with certain software applications. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!
I need massive computing power for leaving rude comments on Facebook and Twitter.
Hi Johnny, Hahahahaha! For automated trolling you do indeed but these days most get by with just a smart phone and a questionable moral character. Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching!
What's the Dell precision 3630 tower like for video editing.
Sorry I never answered you in a timely manner. It all depends on how fast you want to get the job done. That said, most video editing software don't use dual cores to their full advantage.
Can I cgi with this pc? Like environment, character visual effects
Yes, of course. These workstations have been designed for use with tasks like these. Contact a sales person to make sure it gets configured according to your specific needs and budget.
Can you use non-Dell motherboards with 5820's chassis?
HI Arthur, I suppose you can use the chassis and modify the connection points to support a different board but I would argue that it would no longer be a Dell workstation. It is a nice case though… Was thinking about installing an EVGA board in my old MAC G5 workstation as the PSU had a full melt-down. I don't think it will be a MAC either in the end. BTW, The board is custom designed for the chassis and you will not find others that use the same mounting points. Good luck with your Franken-Workstation, and thanks for watching!
Would it be possible to replace the graphics card with a 3070?
Hi Keiden,
It is not in the list of supported cards ,and we have not added one of these cards to any of our systems. Legal disclaimers aside, based on the specifications for the card (www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/30-series/rtx-3070/) you will need the optional 950W PSU in the Precision 5820. We have a pretty good resource of documentation and information on our site for the 5820 here: www.itcreations.com/workstation-dell/Dell-Precision-5820-Tower-Workstation.asp. The card requires a minimum power rating on the system of 650W and uses 220W of power. Check to make sure you don't have the typical 425W PSU because you will need the 950W PSU. The good thing- they are easy to replace. I believe the card comes with a cable adapter if you don't have an 8-pin connector. Don't quote me on that, LOL. Thanks for watching!
Hi to all the guys here. Would like to make an important question in my case concerning these dell computers that come with raid as an active drive controller (intel rst active) and not ahci. The problem is that whenever i try to boot into these machines in a winpe environment with the Strelec package if you know that, in order to reset the admin password if i cannot log into it or just backup the data of a user into an external hdd before reinstalling windows if the precedent os is damaged and cannot be repaired, the internal hdd-s or ssd-s of just the os directories into the drives are invisible. I click on “This PC” and there’s only my usb visible and nothing else. I made a search on the internet and it seems it has something to do with the intel rst driver that abstracts the hdd from the os. Please help me, what should i do in this case in order to be able managing the pc even when the pc is unbootable or just the admin password is not recognized.
Not sure if this will answer your question. The onboard SATA controller does indeed have an AHCI and a "RAID On" mode. If you have it set to the RAID, then you need to create the RAID array first in the controller and then the OS should see it. If that doesn't do the trick, more in depth troubleshooting is required.
@@Itcreations-LA the raid active in bios means that the intel rapid storage technology is active and not that the pc must necessarily work with a raid array. It has only one internal hard drive and it works fine. I log normally into windows and i can normally see the internal hard drive going on “this pc”, but the same doesn’t happen when i boot onto the pc from the strelec winpe which is an exceptional package of tools. When i click on “this pc” being in a winpe environment, either the internal hard drive is invisible or it is visible but invisible are the OS directories inside the hard disk.
@@almedogjurgji I worked a bit with the Intel RST on my Linux machine. Looking elsewhere on the internet, people have had a mixed bag with the RST as a bootable device. I would suggest getting the PCI-E adapter (preferred Dell version) and boot to M.2 . Use the array for file storage. Yeah, not what you wanted but after two months, you may just decide to go in that direction.
I have this computer and I ran out of space on my 256 GB solid-state C Drive. Is the best way to add storage to add it to those front M.2 bays? Also I ran the Dell precision optimizer during rendering on Revit and the memory was at 80% the whole time. I only have 16 GB now so I was thinking about going to 64. Can anybody recommend what to buy?

Hello, and thank you for the excellent review for the Dell Precision 5820 Workstation.
The company I work for is looking for a replacement of the aging Dell Precision 5810 Workstation, the older brother of the computer Workstation that you review here. This is how it work with our company: the newer boxes going to engineer’s and the older PC’s going down the line to drafters and other office workers. The Precision 5810 Workstation was purchased with 32 GB Memory and older NVIDIA Quadro K4000 video cards. Asking for the better card was no go. I think that it would be easier to pull the wisdom tooth from my boss mouth then a money for the better NVidia Quadro card like a K5000 or K6000.
I’ll say I’m not an IT manager. Only do computer work because corporate office doesn’t have anyone in our building that willing to help IT manager from corporate. I do not think that my recommendation goes further than him, however he do listen and some time helps in what we need.
The new Dell Precision 5820 Workstation we want is to have a 64 GB of RAM or more and NVIDIA Quadro and Tesla card cards. Need that for the flow analysis - we are in diecast business.
Your recommendation will be appreciated.
HI Soroka69, contact our sales guys at sales@itcreations.com they can very quickly set you up with an estimate, just give them a quick spec of the system and some options. They are very quick. Thanks for watching!
Can i change 425 watt power supply to 950watt power supply after i purchase the system?
Hi Tong Teik Sehn, Yes you can. The PSU is easy to swap out just by depressing a small blue lever on the side of the PSU. The only reason it's not hot-swap is because there is only one but you remove it just like a hot-swap unit. I'm not sure but there may be a lock that's accessible from inside the case. Check out IT Creations here: bit.ly/2Nr3yc4 for pricing and documentation, including Spec sheets and Owner's Manual (bottom of page). Thanks for watching!
Any cable require? If i am going to install Nvidia Quadro P4000?
Can you elaborate on the usage of PCIE0 & PCIE1 connectors and what they are for on 5820 & 7820 motherboards near CPU?
Hi affistasubble, The PCIe slots, also known as expansion slots, provide a fast direct line of communication to the CPU and enables you to personalize the system to your needs with graphics processing units (GPUs) those would be the graphics cards from Nvidia and AMD. You can also use the PCIe slots (or expansion slots) to add faster network connection cards, typically it comes with one or two built-in Ethernet ports that provide up to 1GbE (1 gigabyte Ethernet) but you can install a network card that will provide 10/25 GbE for faster network communications. They can also be used for a WiFi card, more storage with PCIe-based M.2 storage devices, thunderbolt for super-fast data transfers and other things that, in general , are designed to enhance your productivity or the performance of the system. Some companies start out with a PCIe 0 which may be a slot on the motherboard dedicated for a specific function like a network daughter card (NDC) or M.2 drives or something. The other slots (1 thru whatever…) can support a variety of cards including double-wide GPUs which may block one of the adjacent PCIe slots. I hope that answers your question, if not add another comment or check out our page on the 5820 here, bit.ly/2Nr3yc4 that features a short summary the system with links to the specifications, owner's manual, and others. Thanks for watching!
I think you got the wrong idea of the ports that I am asking about, these are the two small ports near the top of the system board close to CPU labeled as 10, 11 on page 59 of the manual (PCIE0 & PCIE1)

Hi there,
Sorry for the initial basic tutorial… If you look in the Specifications for the 5820 you will see mention of "future support for U.2 NVME drives". Those would be front-mounted 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch (not sure on the existence of the 3.5-inch form factor) I believe those will connect directly to the system board through PCIE0 or PCIE1 ports, which utilize the SFF-8643 Mini-SAS port providing 12Gb/s access speeds. Connecting to the onboard ports will provide access to RAID those drives through VROC. Dell will likely upgrade the system in the next few months at which time those ports will be the new show stopper for this platform. Assuming they do the upgrade before the technology is replaced by something else… This cable on Amazon has the port connector, here: www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Internal-SFF-8643-SFF-8639/dp/B0716K357W/ref=pd_bxgy_147_img_2/132-3398048-4628411?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0716K357W&pd_rd_r=69674641-44f6-11e9-9631-1fad997b334a&pd_rd_w=UAmdR&pd_rd_wg=ietYp&pf_rd_p=6725dbd6-9917-451d-beba-16af7874e407&pf_rd_r=BKPMSMW7Q8JKBK5NC558&psc=1&refRID=BKPMSMW7Q8JKBK5NC558
Great, this is the exact rely I was trying to get from Dell support. Every CSR is clueless as to what the answer would be. Thanks. For someone who doesn't do Hot Swap, using the items you linked works just fine. On the other hand I guess one would need to get the VROC key from Dell to get these running, correct?
@@alfistasubbie Yes, it does look like you will need the VROC key. We have the Standard one here but not the Premium: www.itcreations.com/catalog.asp?s_s=vroc
I found this "Configuring RAID in a Dell Workstation" That I think you will find useful. Going to add that to all our pages too! downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_software/esuprt_it_ops_datcentr_mgmt/enterprise-client-solution-resources_white-papers_en-us.pdf
Good luck and may the Force be with you. Always…
Cómo puedo conectar un monitor VGA si solo cuenta con puertos MiniDisplay Port? Probé con un adaptador pero no funciona
Hi Andres, The only way to connect a monitor is through the GPU. A VGA connector is older technology but I am not sure why your adapter cable will not work with it. It should. Perhaps a bad cable…IDK. If you have a spare GPU try switching out the card and try again. Any more information? Thanks for watching!
Going to buy one in the next 7 years
yeah ...... just bought one Precision T3500 (used) for $100 ..... less than 1/10th of its launch price.
@@manojgupta3770 lol, i got a bunch for free that were going to be recycled...threw a gpu and 24g's of ram in em, ran linux, and they rocked...have since off loaded them to folks that could use them so they wouldn't collect dust...to this this day they are 10 years old and are still snappy as ever.
Does anyone know if the 5820 workstations can be modified to work with the new 4090 graphics card? If so, how?
We have never tested the NVIDIA 4090 card in the Dell 5820 workstation tower so cannot say for sure. However, in theory, it does seem compatible. The system does support up to 600W of graphics cards and is compatible with dual 300W cards. The 4090 Ada Gen is a triple-wide card, a GeForce gaming card, supports PCIe 4.0 and comes with power cables, which I think would be adequate compared to dual RTX A6000 (Ampere) cards but does require the 950W PSU. It will definitely take out a few more PCIe slots than a double-wide card. Hope that helps, thanks for watching! Good luck and tell us how it goes.

@@Itcreations-LA Thanks! My biggest question is that the 950W power supply on my 5820 system only has two 8-pin power cables available; the 4090 cards require at least three, and splitting doesn't seem to be a good option from what I've read. Is there a better power supply I need to upgrade to?
@@GregPizl
Unfortunately, there is no other PSU with higher wattage for the 5820. Splitter seems to be your best option but again we have not tested that either. I did find this with a similar situation… www.dell.com/community/Precision-Fixed-Workstations/Additional-GPU-power-connectors-for-T5820/td-p/6074898

@@Itcreations-LA Thanks again! I saw that thread as well, I'm just not fully understanding where the 10-pin side plugs into for power. The 4090 cards have that new adapter that has three-four 8-pin slots, three of which apparently are required. 😬 This could be a lost cause with this machine unfortunately.

Dear sir, can it support nvidia k40c GPU
Hi Ashish, I believe this card will work on this system, although we have not tested it and it is not included in the list of supported GPUs for this system. That said, they can't test every card! The thing to look for when considering cards that are not in the list of supported cards is the power draw. The spec sheet here: www.itcreations.com/user-manuals/5820-Tower/Precision-5820-Tower-Spec-Sheet.pdf states "Support for 2 PCI Express® x16 Gen 3 graphics card - up to 600W with maximum of up to 2 x 300W
double width graphics cards." In this case the K40c has a power draw of 245W. the Quadro P6000 has a power draw of up to 250W, so they are comparable and the P6000 is supported. Both also require a double-wide x16 slot, and there's a pair of those just for this purpose. Although, This card (K40c) does not have any video output so you will need to install another card just to support video as I believe this system does not have integrated video support. Here are the specifications for the K40c and the P6000, respectively: www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/tesla-k40c.c2505
images.nvidia.com/content/pdf/quadro/data-sheets/192152-NV-DS-Quadro-P6000-US-12Sept-NV-FNL-WEB.pdf
I hope that helps with your decision. BTW check out IT Creations as we carry a bunch of high-performance GPUs but the K40c will take about 3-4 days to get but we can give you a quote if you are interested, sales@itcreations.com

Hi anyone here knows wheter these workstations can be loaded with 2x RTX3080 cards ?
The documentation says the 3080 is supported - 2, I am not sure!
Does Dell Precision Tower 5820 Workstation support RTX3090 GPU?
Hi there KB,
I do think this card will work with the 950W PSU installed on the system but only 1 card. That said, it would also depend on the card model as some have extra fans and an abnormally large case size so be sure to look at the dimensions of whichever variant of this family you choose to install prior to purchase. Here are the spec sheets for both the Dell 5820 and the Nvidia RTX 3090:

If it's not the most powerful then what is?
It is very capable, there is no denying. However, check out the Dell 7920 for the most powerful. It was released at the same time as the 5820. ua-cam.com/video/jP65i_Iqml8/v-deo.html

@@Itcreations-LA Yeah. I know. I was looking to replace my T3610 with another T3610 or maybe upgrade it to this 5820 because of all of the USB-3 ports and the USB-C ports and because of all of the external drives I use and need to reorganize and get consolidated.
Oh, one more thing. these are the last generation. We have only received one of the newest Dell tower workstations released this year. We had it very briefly for a day or two. Behold the Dell 7865 with AMD Threadripper PRO CPU. ua-cam.com/video/pHYnT3ATnzo/v-deo.html
HP has also released their latest generation workstations too. Hopefully you will be seeing a review of that one on our channel soon. Be well!
@@Itcreations-LA Why are they the last? Because no one's buying them?
@@luigiprovencher8888
Perhaps i should have been more clear. Last as in previous generation. Dell has moved on to support the "latest" processors from Intel and AMD which are both now on the 4th generation. More cores, support for DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0, etc…
