Upgrade your Dell T5810 cooler for better performance.
Upgrade your Dell T5810 cooler for better performance.
Checking out a T5810 setup with a 1060 6GB and E5-1650 V3 processor, paired with the standard Dell cooler. Looking for a budget-friendly CPU cooler that could boost performance during overclocking. Also, some advice on upgrading the GPU to address the 6GB memory bottleneck with the 1060.
Typical Dell boards come with built-in coolers that are hard to replace unless you modify them yourself. If your chip is fixed, overclocking isn't possible without adjusting the base frequency. Most likely, the manufacturer's BIOS won't let you change that either.
The T5810 board doesn't appear to allow overclocking. The standard cooling fins (YH2R3) should handle any CPU up to 145 watts without issues.
I noticed this tower has been overclocked in some discussions. I was curious if there were any simple methods to achieve it.
