Sorry for the delay in replying , internet is really pathetic . The UPS make clicking noise ( which s very annoying ) very often , though there does not seem to be any mains power fluctuation . This morning I had a shutdown , the UPS did not hold the load . Running the computer without the UPS (...

I have a 2 month old UPS - DCP brand 1.2kva , 720w that is not holding the load ( 15 times ) . A single computer , X58 M/B , X5650 processor , 3 internal HDDs , 1 usb and the monitor which pulls 14w . A 1.2 should be sufficient , yes ? Corsair CX650m ( new ) PSU .

Sorted the problem out ( touch wood ) , I think . Now have a CM 212X cooler and Corsair CX650M PSU and Temps are fine . Changed the case to another Chinese one ( with serious issues ) . I had a few real puzzles to work out - Top of M/B to top fan 5mm less than ideal , same with bottom of case...

The T5500 stock coolers ,like the T3500 , are far better than the one I have , shame I cannot fit a T3500 ( U016F 0U016F ) cooler on this board as I have one sitting idle waiting for a replacement dell M/B.

Intel E29477-002 stock cooler

I am using the Intel E29477-002 stock cooler , I am about to migrate the board to another case with a new PSU and New 212X cooler ( I have a T3500 but need another M/B - can only get the older M/B here at a high price ) .

How hot should a Xeon X5650 get ? Using less than 25% load but the temps are pushing 70-80 C . Stock cooler and room temperature of 30 C . Seems a little warm for the load .

It DOES NOT just boot back up , I have a certain procedure and it is that procedure that gets the computer working again . You think that I would be pushing the issue if all I did is press the power button to regain use of the computer ? The steps I take KEEP the computer working , If Now I...

I agree there must be a reasonable limit to the time spent trying to rectify the problem with an older motherboard especially if the parts are not replaceable , But the point I am trying to make is that I believe the solution is far more simple than any of the comments I have read on this...

This is a DELL issue , do you have experience of this kind of error ? PB 12 error indicates PSU is good , not a problem with memory , Graphics card or peripherals either . Now unless anyone else can refute me , I seem to be the only one still using my computer after a PB 12 , not crowing about...

I think I am looking at a different e-bay to you . You can more than double that price if shipping is included + customs duty and still end up with only a 30 day warranty ( and then you have to pay return shipping ) . I have proven many times that PB 12 is not a terminal problem ( at least in...

Machine is working fine . After a really bad day yesterday when we had at least 9 power outages in the morning ( and the UPS is not holding ) , I gave up and went out for 2 hrs and the machine booted up first time on return ( no PB12 ) - technically that would be a "cold" start as the temp in...

Yes , PB12 = 1 + 2 lights flashing . Bios clearing does not solve the problem , does it ever ? Re-seating the ram and PCI cards the same . What i need is a fellow T3500 user with a PB12 issue to try what I just did 5 minutes ago and transform the ( generally accepted verdict of "...

Not one comment ?

I have a Dell T 3500 , which has the PB 12 issue . I have on 4 occasions recovered the machine to working state . Does anyone have experience of this problem , in this model , and can shed light on what caused the problem . Contrary to all I have read on-line it is not a terminal problem , at...

tHAT That sounds like a good idea

Just been out looking locally for one of those spacer brackets , 5 shops and a Lot of explaining later I ended up with nothing . Have to spread my net wider , I have two drives at present , 320 GB for the OS in the swing out panel and a 2 TB in the conventional place and I need to fit the...

Yes the driver pack from Nvidia , 388.71 and Every thing else is working well ( touch wood ) new windows 7 pro installation , upgraded to SP1 , .Net and visual C++ . Card is working well , tested it on Assassins creed Black flag , and apart from a little stutter ( and Many other , far more...

Hard drive caddy or the T3500 in general ? Did it not come as standard with the machine ?

Well I figured out relocating the 2 TB to the conventional position ( with much appreciated help ) , quite neat that Dell supply the special screws located behind the black front panel . I have removed the portion of the hard drive swing arm and finally installed the GTX 660 , which after using...

OK , so windows update informed me of a load of additional updates ( Less than a day after "up to date" ) including SP1 ( again ) , so I let it do its thing ( again ) and bingo it is now listed as win 7 pro service pack 1 (Build 7601 ) , and I have two listings in Update history . Now all I have...

Just did a clean Win 7 pro 64 install on a separate hard disc from CD ( something went pear shaped with the OS ) , all updates inc SP1 went well and listed as "windows up to date" But , SP1 is listed in update history as successful , but not listed in installed updates and still not . I...

B00nie DDU needs .NET framework ,which I cannot get installed ( along with SP1 and visual C++ ! ) . Need those programs to get other programs to work , which is kind of ridiculous ! NOTE . I just ran a scan on the downloaded DDU file from Guru3d , and hbpix automatically downloaded !!

Downloaded from Nvidia , Version 388.71 which is the latest . Going to try and uninstall the current driver later and see if that helps . Why are these drivers so difficult ? I updated my BIOS with one click !

I am having some difficulty installing the GTX660 drivers on windows 7 , Is this a Nvidia or Windows issue ? "Nvidia installer failed" . Insanely long download time as well ( tried to download an earlier one )

matt167 The top bay panel is a marvel of engineering , one that I have yet to understand how to remove . There is always something new to amaze me with this Dell case ! mnewxcv The 1050 ti is indeed much faster , but also 56% more expensive ( where I am anyway ) for a 30% power gain . At...

I quite like the hard drive door , looked at the possibility of relocating to the normal position , but it does not seem to be possible - cannot see any screw holes , not really sure though . Measured the GTX 660 L=220 , GTX1050 L=191 , as there is no power cable the 1050 should be a breeze ...

Well ,I bought a GTX660 , really should have measured it first ! Not enough clearance under the hard disk tray ( the six pin GPU power connector is really at fault - if only they had made it horizontal instead of vertical ! ) , if I remove the offending part ( the removable part of the tray ) I...

Still feel the prices on Xeons for this socket are kept artificially high . Most of those available come from China , but occasionally from Israel , which are cheaper , but sell out quickly ( maybe the Chinese buy them up ) . Was looking for a X5650 though my W3565 is coping well at the moment .

Changing the PSU is not really an option at the moment , the Standard Dell 525w is pretty good and built for reliability . So I am looking for a card that will run from the installed PSU , I guess that limits my choice to a used GTX660 or a new GTX1050 or even a used hd5770 . On a different...

Can I install a GTX760 card in the T3500 . From the specs it seems to need a 6 pin ( which the PSU has ) and a 8pin which it does not seem to have . Is there any way I can get this to work without a new PSU - which may be a hassle due to the Dell Motherboard ? Alternatively I can fit a GTX660...
