Better parts than the Alienware deal except 3080 is not TI. Cheaper by $1250. For those asking I asked Dell: "I see that this desktop got Advanced CPU air cooling"

    Take this line out of the description, it may confuse people.

    With PLUSJAN5 it comes out at AU $3,739.44

    Here is a teardown of the model, only difference is video is 3090.

        Yeah that's the only thing I can fault for this price. I actually bought one this morning. I will probably replace that with a D15.

        • Lol321 on 21/01/2022 - 12:07

          Maybe D15's heat fin is too big for the case?

          • [Deactivated] on 21/01/2022 - 12:09

            @Lol321: You might be right. Maybe the NHU-12S?

        • garetz on 21/01/2022 - 12:12
          +2

          The mounting is proprietary, a d15 will not work.

          If i was buying this i would replace the case and motherboard.

          • [Deactivated] on 21/01/2022 - 12:18

            @garetz: Yeah it was the same for the 8940 but there are many ways to get around it. Requires a few screws and a heatsink that can fit the case.

            You can also get Dell's own premium air cooler which is decent.

        Yeah I was hoping the video above showed thermals but the guy didn't even have time to open core temp apparently :p

    • HomeAlone on 21/01/2022 - 12:19

      only difference is video is 3090.

      The one in the video also has the optional liquid cooler. (upgrade option currently unavailable due to global part shortage)

      • [Deactivated] on 21/01/2022 - 12:21

        I think the air cooler would do a better job. The AIO won't be good enough for this processor.

    • syousef on 21/01/2022 - 16:54

      I guess you didn't watch the video. There are lots of differences apart from liquid cooling and the 3090. Like double the memory and double the storage.

  • Bargainjustifier on 21/01/2022 - 12:03

    Not bad for a dell prebuilt

  • Axelstrife on 21/01/2022 - 12:06

    Now this is a good deal.

  • blackfrancis75 on 21/01/2022 - 12:13

    I can't find anything about cooling so the CPU is air cooled?
    The Alienware has liquid cooling

    • bigmicka on 21/01/2022 - 12:14

      It is liquid cooled.

      Correction: Well the eBay listing has an image of a liquid cooled system.

      • [Deactivated] on 21/01/2022 - 12:19

        It doesn't say liquid cooled in the technical specs so there's a chance it's air cooled. I would prefer the air cooler over the 120mm AIO. Also, in the video on the Dell website it shows air cooler.

      • blackfrancis75 on 21/01/2022 - 12:20

        I'd really like confirmation on this if anyone can find it. In this day and age I would expect it to be specified, since liquid systems are about $100 extra

        • [Deactivated] on 21/01/2022 - 12:21

          The image is definitely liquid cooled if you scroll on eBay

        • Warehouse on 21/01/2022 - 13:00

          Contact Dell directly. They will confirm or provide you an option to upgrade to liquid cooling.

          When I ordered my pre built Dell in 2017 the picture showed an AiO but was actually not included (I knew this already though, just noting for you so you don't rely on pictures).

          Rely on the description. An AiO inclusion is something to "brag" about, if they were including it in the base model they would clearly advertise it and write it.

      4k ray tracing is hard as (profanity) to run, especially not at high framerates above 100 fps. you're looking at a 3090/ti for that

    Are you able to remove the GPU from this PC? I don't see why you wouldn't be able to, but thought I'd check.

    • FireRunner on 21/01/2022 - 12:40

      Yes

    • [Deactivated] on 21/01/2022 - 12:41

      Yes. You should be able to reuse everything easily in another system but the PSU and probably the motherboard. Not sure the motherboard would fit standard cases.

    • doobey1231 on 21/01/2022 - 13:03

      Absolutely, however its worth mentioning you should double check prices and everything, 6-12 months ago it would make sense to buy this for the gpu but the prices have come down a fair bit since then, you'll probably find you are paying the same if not more by doing this as opposed to just buying a GPU outright and getting a proper board partner with adequate cooling, as dell often skimps on cooling with these.

      • Autonomic on 24/01/2022 - 13:04

        I think purchasing this and swapping to a new board would be pretty value, especially if you had an existing PSU/cooler/case to use with it.

        • doobey1231 on 24/01/2022 - 13:52

          Assuming the case will fit a standard motherboard, wouldn't be the first time dell has done something funky with the motherboard design.

  • kaikor on 21/01/2022 - 12:32

    This price is amazing - Just built the same system on PC Part picker and it came out at around $4700. DDR5 With 4400 Mega transfers isn't common? A bit weird as I thought the lowest speeds for DDR5 is 4800mhz

  • TeddyBear on 21/01/2022 - 12:43

    Good find. Especially with the 12900K and 2x16GB single rank DDR5.

    • [Deactivated] on 21/01/2022 - 13:18

  • edfoo on 21/01/2022 - 13:03

            @Mouse123: I know, currently have the old GTX 1070, but aiming for at least 6800XT or 3080 as an upgrade but we all know the current GPU market, like a poo sandwich market.

      This one as the i9 is $300 more than the 12700k and the 3080 has twice the performance of a 6700xt.

        I love your excitement but the 3080 is about 25-30% faster than the 6700xt.

      • Mouse123 on 21/01/2022 - 15:09

        3080 is not twice the performance

        And you have to consider thermal limitation for this case

  • hero000 on 21/01/2022 - 13:17

    Is it gojng to be cheaper if go custom build? With better motherboard and cooling?

    • Juggernauto on 21/01/2022 - 15:13

  • Winston100s on 21/01/2022 - 13:21

    I was HODLing for so long, eventually payed off. Last time they had the sale, they listed the new XPS models a few hours before the sale ended. Back then they only had the 6700xt version of this which came to $3000 after the discount. Yesterday evening they removed that one and replaced it with the 3080.
    I got the 3 year extended warranty which is $105. Considering that the cheapest 3080 lately was $1800, you get the rest of the parts for $1200. Great deal, probably one of the best ever posted on a prebuilt system.

    • boomersgold on 21/01/2022 - 13:36

        Call Dell once you receive your system or extend it on their website (it's been a while since I've done it so not sure if this possible anymore).

        • Winston100s on 21/01/2022 - 14:07

  • cille745 on 21/01/2022 - 13:46

    3080 would probably be fine, but the 12900K really needs a 360mm AIO

    • [Deactivated] on 21/01/2022 - 13:56

      A decent air cooler will be fine. There's hardly any difference between 240-280mm and 360mm AIOs.

      • edfoo on 21/01/2022 - 14:41

        Saw a YouTube comparison of various sizes of AIO coolers for a 12900 CPU, the 240mm failed when the 12900 is under full load, even the 360mm also failed (as in thermal throttle), while 280mm and 420mm can deal with the extreme heat.

        • [Deactivated] on 21/01/2022 - 14:44

          I don't know about those results. The difference between the 280mm and 360mm is not great but the 360mm does win out. If it failed and the 280mm passed there's something wrong with that test setup.

          • cille745 on 21/01/2022 - 14:54

            @[Deactivated]: the 360mm only just manages to not thermal throttle, where anything below does

            • [Deactivated] on 21/01/2022 - 14:58

              @cille745: The reason this CPU behaves like that is because Intel has removed the limitation on this chip. Normally a CPU will run its full capacity for about 90 seconds and then fall back. It's a burst of performance rather than sustained performance but in this CPU that limitation has been removed so it will almost always thermal throttle and fall back to a lower speed given that change. How quickly it happens depends on the cooling.
