I bought a Dell XPS desktop pre-built PC with an RTX 3070 in it. For $1500, it seems like a great deal, but Dell did me dirty...

Agreed. Show the small upgrades one at a time. First switch to dual channel, and show us the improvement. Maybe also the conversation with Dell about how they shipped not what you ordered. Then upgrade the CPU cooler and show the performance improvement from that also?
Agreed, I'd get Dell to send you what you ordered. I'd ask about the cpu cooler too but that isn't guaranteed. Do it with dual channel and a non crap cooler to see how the case setup performed.

Same here
About 15.
I wonder if you go online, is there is less warranty upsells?

Probably sold him all of them when he didn’t want any of them.

-1 Stick of ram *only*
-Warranty

@@zsoltpeterdaniel8413 one of these graphics cards isn't needed for 3d modeling, a quadro k420 or a gtx 1080ti will do 3d modeling just fine with software that is actually good, my laptop from 11 years ago only had a nvidia quadro nvs 3100m in it (just a rebranded GT 218m with different drivers) it sucked at gaming but I could create high polygon models with thousands of vertex's and it didn't slow down until I got up to millions of vertex's.

@@DawidDoesTechStuff Dell back when didn't offer consumer graphics cards in the enterprise systems, I think they have realized they can sell them to certain niche markets who will take the card out and use the system for other stuff or resell with another card which is actually smart of them given how hard it is to get a graphics card at the moment. Though I'm sure some will just leave the system as is as well.
Thank you! This is still relevant today. When ordering today, you have to do one or both of the following things: 1) Get the "K" model CPU, it comes with the better CPU cooler in the picture. 2) There is an option to upgrade to the liquid cooler for $50. I'm not sure about the ram issue.
i've been watching your videos for few days now, and i love your pre-built series. I wonder if you can make a video on taking one part from ea pre-built sys you've bought, and make like a decent, yet reliable gaming pc :0
This PC was clearly false advertisement and fraud.
Absolutely! I would NEVER have accepted it like that! If it's not as ordered, you should never accept it like that! Either get me the system I ordered or give me a refund, it's as simple as that! It is absolutely false advertisement and extremely misleading to customers. Just because they might ship these machines to companies that couldn't care less other than it can handle Excel or whatever does it mean it's okay to ship something that just isn't up to the specs that the customer ordered! 🤔
@@RobertForslund Well, it's not really about it being okay or not, for Dell to mislead the customers like that. It's literally illegal!
@@TheNightquaker That's why they should face the consequences of their actions. Either return me a system that I ordered or give me a refund. If they wouldn't do either of that, I would file a law-suit against them. How far that law-suit would go I couldn't say, but still, they need to know that they can't just steam-roll people, or businesses any way they like and expect them to be happy with whatever they sold them! 🤔
No Its a dell.

i had to look up 'thumbing in a softie'. very good!
I've worked in IT for years now and I've never understood why the ventilation on OEM towers is so dreadful. They make some really neat design choices with cable management, board layouts and the like, but then they get stuck in the 1990s with a single crappy rear exhaust fan, a miniscule PSU fan and almost no gaps for air to get in. When the system's an i3 and integrated graphics you can understand, but when there's a high-end gaming or workstation GPU in there - which doesn't even evacuate rearwards - it just becomes baffling.
more broken prebuilts = more money, true points tho
Dawid when he sees that the prebuilt has only one channel ram:
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

In cases like this (easily fixable cases) you should fix things (in this case change the cooler and add second stick of RAM) and show us the actual potential the system has
That case was pretty nice imo. I think the IO should be horizontal along the bottom side of the dvd drive and relocate the power button. Thats a 3070 and 10700 with like 200mm x 120mm of intake and a single 92mm fan set up on exhaust. I get why the office look is still popular though
So here:
- Either fight scalpers
- Or buy a furnace
Or spend the almost nothing extra for a decent cooler, meaning you don't have to deal with either.
And if you watch the Linus video mentioned, there are a few prebuilts from companies that are all made from branded off the shelf products, extremely well made, cover with great warranty and servicing, all for less than you build build it yourself - or very slightly more (but more than worth it).

If dell is cheaper then scalpers we have let the scalpers become too comfortable
Buy the prebuilt to sell the RTX 3060 in it for more than the original machine was bought for!
@@hdoan1519 That's not necessarily true.. Dell gets deals for parts for the pre-builts cheaper than the consumer market. Scalpers have to rely on the consumer market being sold out of stock to make a profit.

Yeah, buying online is way better than alternative.
I just ordered an XPS. i checked to see if everything was there. it looked like it, so that's good. i got the idea to check it after watching this video. Thanks!
I'm rocking a 2 year hold prebuild dell that's been mostly cool for me. I've had two minor issues with it. One was a Windows problem, not dell's fault. The other was the Optaine drive failed. It was a catastrophic failure, went into an endless boot cycle. However, the dive isn't really needed, it just boosts the hard drive speed a little. I've had a noticeable, but overall slight hit in performance. Mostly things just take a little longer to load than they should, but I'm ok with that.
I remember when XPS was like the premium gamer line for Dell. These days they just look like office PCs. Now the product stack is super confusing too. You have g5 for gaming dells but also you get some gaming XPS models and some gaming inspiron models.
one of my first computers that i could get online with was a dell xps gen 4. i don't remember what graphics card it had but i was barely running tf2. lots of great memories with that machine lol. before that, I had a precision from the same generation with dual xeons but that thing would dim my lights as soon as I turned it on.
I thought the XPS was always a premium “workstation”. I have one from 2012 with a GT640, 12 Gigs of ram, and an i7 3770. It’s old but still runs tf2 and 2013 Tomb Raider like high settings, and Bioshock Infinite high. I can’t believe it’s been in use for 9 years now 😂
@@xroyalstevenx9151 No they were never workstations they were gaming theme. The workstations were always the Precision line. Hence why your XPS has a gaming graphics card. I think when they acquired Alienware it changed the product stack. But now the entire dell lineup is kind of confusing.
@@exturkconner I never seen a gaming oriented xps. I always thought dell’s alienware and g series was for gaming.
@@HelloHi-eu5rk Dell didn't always own Alienware. Prior to that XPS was 100% it's gaming brand.
wow straight up missing a ram stick, that's pretty outrageous
I'm not sure what would be worse. 1x8GB ram where they forgot to add the second one, or 1x16GB where they completely ignored the order and went for single channel as per their usual shit machines.
@@Tomazack a single 1x8gb would definitely be alot worse
Guaranteed that the guy that did this goes over on his lunch break religiously.
The fine print for many pre-built's include some form of clause for 'substitutions'. You get the sum of what you ordered, not the specifics (so 1x16gb instead of 2x8gb = close enough in their world). I'd still take a poke at them for the CPU cooler though to see how they respond, that is on the dark side of dirty for a substitution given the marketing material (where custom/high performance does not equal oem boxed). You could make a case for 'inadequate' given the temps, especially if you can get it hot enough that it down clocks on a sustained load.
Also i love that he opened it up, messed with it, took out components and then started it up. So if anything goes wrong they can blame you 😂
They would blame him either way I doubt he's worried
Hey Dawid, I just recently came across one of these Dell XPS machines myself, except this one is from several generations ago. It has a 4th gen i7 with a radeon r9-270 in it!
So you almost have a decent system there, just need a case, motherboard, cpu cooler, power supply, and another 16Gb stick of ram.
TBH, for someone who don't really care about leaving some performances on the table and just need a pc able to run RTX, this thing's a good pc.
Btw, i'm well aware that for an enthusiast, this is a "scam"(although, not like other prebuilt makers)

@@darkigor20 breathing space
I just priced it out and it's $1999.00. The 3070 was a $1000 upgrade.
My laptop was on its way out, so I decided to get a Dell XPS with an RTX 2060, 10th generation i5, and 500W power supply. I've been gaming regularly on it for a couple months now for at least a few hours a day, and here's my rundown of the system.
- If you want to game, you MUST replace the CPU cooler and add more fans. After mods, my CPU stays at 45C and my GPU 60C even after a few hours of heavy gaming. I used a Vetroo V5 CPU cooler, which is cheaper than Dell's proprietary cooler / Noctua's equivalent cooler. The difference in performance between the three is negligible.
- It is difficult to upgrade the RAM on these systems because RAM speed is capped depending on what processor you have. For i5s, the cap is 2666. For i7s, it will not go above 3000. I'd at least like to upgrade my single 16gb stick to two 8gb sticks, but I've heard of people having issues finding compatible RAM for this system.
- Use zip ties instead of rubber screws to mount your fans.
- The motherboard and power supply cannot be moved from the case. So if you want to move parts to a new case, you'll have to buy new ones.
- On my order, the front panel's power button did not extend far enough to actually turn the tower on. I keep the front panel off. It isn't pretty, but ventilation is a lot better with the front panel off anyway.
- ALL fans must be connected to the sockets on the motherboard that say "CPU FAN" and "FAN SYS". If you try to connect it to the power supply / any other socket, the BIOs will throw up an error. This means you will need fan splitters / extension cords. I have CPU FAN connected to the CPU cooler ( duh ) and top intake fan. FAN SYS is connected to the bottom intake fan and rear exhaust fan.
It's not the BEST, but it plays triple AAA titles at medium-high settings, and I have not run into significant issues since using this as my gaming PC. I also upgraded from the stock 256gb Kioxia NVMe to a 1tb WD Blue.
In total, I spent about $1000 on the tower + improvements. Happened to get the tower for $800 during one of those sales Dell runs about once every month. Pretty good given the current specs and the way the PC gaming market is right now.

I got two XPS at Christmas and ordering them was a nightmare. I cancelled two orders before getting a confirmation they would be delivered before February. But it meant changing the processors from i9 to i7 and getting the RTX-2070 instead of a 30 series. On my son's XPS, i opted to get a machine with the stock intel GMA and put my old GTX 1050Ti from my old gaming computer. It was the only way to get him a system capable of playing Cyberpunk. I eventually yanked the 1TB hdd and replaced it with a 1TB Samsung 970 SSD. I also took the 16GB of Ram out of my computer and put it into his giving him 32GB of RAM. I upgraded mine to 64GB.

Not going to lie, I actually liked the look of the case.

Im glad i went for building my own PC then a prebuilt.. Prebuilts had the 3080 i wanted for about the same price i was willing to buy all the parts for then i started looking into the parts they used like PSU, Ram etc and it was eye opening how much they skimp on quality..

It would be interesting to see you contacting dell support about the memory stick and seeing how they handle the issue
To be fair I have an XPS system as well and it's lasted me quite a while, I'd recommend replacing the RAM at some point but I did get the dual sticks in mine. Problem is that they died rather early on and I replaced them with 2 corsair vengeance LPX and haven't had a problem since, hoping to upgrade the board and CPU soon since it's been a few years since I bought it.

I just got one of these cards as a work trade with a customer who was sold this pre-built, with no clue what they were getting. They only use the computer for web surfing and email.
@@natefunk1 fr? lmao
@@Eri.fnn1803 Yep. They're getting 500 in IT support and I get a rtx 3070.
20 years later 3000 series still not in stock. only 3070 remaining
Tbh, I love the aesthetics of those office cases, just a black box without tempered glass panels nor f**king RGB.
I agree, though I don't mind glass when used correctly,
smh you lose performance without rgb
Some be quiet cases look better imo
I don't like the glass panels or RGB either. I just built a new AMD 3600 cpu machine and used an old generic black case from my dad's computer that didn't run any more. I replaced two 5 1/4 face plates with a front fan mod and it looks great. If I want lights, I will buy a desk lamp. lol
@@cybercery5271 if you don't want to lose performance, you can just use rgb led strips

That is the one really nice thing about my IBuyPower, it came with nothing more than Windows 10 installed, other than the IBP boot image, turn that off and you would never know it was a prebuilt. No bloatware what so ever.

Its actually pretty good for a casual gamer. Im getting an R12. Im not overclocking so ill balance it out because im a casual gamer. My friend has had one fpr 5 months now and has had no issues so it looks promising.
Call that mouse and keyboard landfill, but they will last in that landfill for a very long time. They work and they are great for small offices.
I'm actually quite fond of the way those XPS machines look, as well as the new Optiplexes. I like those a fair bit more than most DIY gaming PCs
Why hasn't Dell mitigated the issue? Where is the advertised CPU cooler and specifically selected dual channel RAM? Sad.
Right? This is fraud.
That CPU cooler comes when you upgrade to the K series processors. as for the ram, hope dell fixes that

Can you explain it to me? I don't get it lol
@Kymii~ hey I'm legal, just not from North America
@Kymii~ I'd forgotten about this, and have since googled it, enough said, I get it now
I kind of like how reserved it looks. Reminds me of an Optiplex which is appropriate since those are so popular to buy for cheap and slap GPUs into for gaming. Needs a glass panel or something tho

She really deserve a heart on comment.
Massive entertainment value on what should otherwise be one of the most boring unboxings ever. Really well written and had me laughing out loud. Thanks Dawid!
I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. 👍
that exagerrated fake laugh is off puting though
Last time I bought a major company's prebuilt it wouldn't even boot up out of the box. Their cable management was shit so one of the wires got tangled in one of the fans. Luckily I was able to easily diagnose the problem myself because when I called customer service, they were 100% useless.
I'm still rocking my Dell keyboard from my pre-built that I got back in 2004 and was still using the mouse up until a few years ago when the right click stopped working. I'll have to ditch the keyboard once I eventually upgrade from my current PC that I built back in 2011 since I know modern PC's don't have a PS/2 port.
I keep seeing these and I was wondering what it would look like. Thanks for doing this! Great videos as always, keep it up!
Put dual channel ram and put a little bit better cooler in it and see how much performance you gain I'm interested
Yes a beefy cpu cooler and dual channel 3200 low timing RAM would be sick. Overclock it!
My computer specs:
i7 10700K no OC
RTX 3070 MSI Ventus
2x8GB RAM G.Skill 4000MHz Trident RGB
MSI MAG Z490 TOMAHAWK
In Far Cry 5 in the performance test I have AVG 157 Fps and 1% 122 Fps. I didn't expect such a difference compared to DELL.
I'm actually kind of curious to see you pull this 3070 out and put it in a completely new system and see how much better it would be.
06:40 "CPU cooler equivalent of thumbing in a softie" had me doin' a lil' giggle I won't lie 😆
my God I missed that xD
Spilt coffee on my self after that bit.
"we introduced new Dell XPS few months ago..."
"I know I bought one"
"ahhh, so it was you..."
4:00 Dell's standard peripherals are not amazing quality but they are pretty solid. The chiclet keyboard is pretty well liked in offices. Also it's nice that they come with the computer at all so you don't have to bother ordering them if you're getting your first pc.
That said, dell could give you an option to not include them and save ten bucks or something.
Also, I like the understated looks. It's pretty lowkey stylish.
I bought a dell prebuilt with an i7 11700 and rtx 3060 for $1250. Slapped in a u9s and its actually pretty solid. AND mine came with dual channel 2x8gb ram
Oh hell yeah! They are one of the better ways to get your hands on a reasonably priced GPU theses days. I like to replace the case and motherboard though to completely purge the Dell from the system. 😅

No, buy prebuilt, keep the GPU and sell the crappy dell tower as a basic office PC
@@Blubbstock nah that thing will sell for $200 so you are left with a $1300 non branded 3070
I wouldn't call it crappy. It's decent
except 1 stick ram, and a 12v only psu and a meh cooler
"Reference 3070 I was going to use for a custom loop, $1,500 or best offer"
I was actually considering buying a Dell G-series to replace the 6 year old laptop i'd been using. I may still do so, but not without verifying up front *which* of the pictured cpu coolers was going to be in the machine.
It would be fun to change just the case to have great air flow and see improuvement in the results
