#Which windows os is best for dell precision t5400 upgrade#
I upgraded a $53 T3500 in December 2015, spending $60 on an X5677 4-core at 3.06 /3.47GHz and $43 on 8GB of DDR3-1333, added a Quadro 4000, PERC 6/i controller and 300GGB 15K SAS drive left over from a T5500 upgrade and that system has a rating of 2751 - higher than the best dual CPU T5400 and having the same number of threads. A dual X5460 has 8 threads for rendering at 3.16GHz, whereas a single 6-core T3500 with a W3690 has 12 threads 3.47 /3.73GHz. The TX500 Precisions can use 6-core hyperthreading CPU's up to the W3690 or X5690 3.47 / 3.73GHz and the RAM is DDR3-1333 faster and much cooler. Not to throw cold water on your project, but you might look into selling the T5400 and buying and upgrading a T5500 or even a T3500 whihc is a single CPU model. The CPU is not-hyperthreading and does not have a turbo speed, plus the RAM is DDR2-667 ECC, which is a moderate speed and DDR2 runs very hot. 10.24.15ĭepending on your use, I would suggest moderate expenditure on a T5400. The T5400 was sold with the SK-8135 keyboard and I still use one with my 2015 HP z420.ĭell Precision T5400 (2008) > 2X Xeon X5460 quad core > 16GB DDR2 667 ECC> Quadro FX 4800 (1.5GB) > WD RE4 500GB / Seagate Barracuda 500GB > M-Audio 2496 Sound Card / Linksys WMP600N WiFi > HP 2711X, 27" 1920 X 1080 and Dell 19" LCD > Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit > I've had a 2008 Precision T5400 (2X X5460, 16GB RAM, Quadro FX4800, 2X WD RE4 500GB) since 2010 and that system has been perfectly reliable- I never had a hardware failure. The X5460 has the next 31 highest scores: 8634 to 8257 for a pair. The fastest CPU for the Dell Precision T5400 is the Xeon X5470 4-core 3.33GHz:Īnd, in Passmark results, the X5470 produces the top 10 CPU scores, ranging from 9013 to 8644 for a pair.

In the example of the Precision T5400, the chipset is the 5400 and these are the CPU's that are 5400 chipset is listed as supporting the X5492 3.4GHz, but it has a 1600 FSB, whereas the T5400 is a 1333. The way to find the compatible CPU's is to do search by the chipset on the very useful Intel ARK site.

Possible that DELL did not put on-line a part of the technical manual with XEON CPU models compatible with Dell Precision T5400? I did some research in the web but could not find the information for this ungrade.
