DELL Precision T5820 Tower Xeon W-2255 10 Core 128GB DDR4 2TB NVMe Quadro P5000 desktop PC

Precision T5820 Workstation

The Dell Precision T5820 Tower is a new business workstation built around an Intel Xeon W-2255 processor with 10 cores running at 3.7 GHz and a 4.7 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across four 32 GB modules and a 2 TB PCIe NVMe solid-state drive. An Nvidia Quadro P5000 graphics card with 16 GB GDDR5X memory and four DisplayPort outputs drives multi-monitor setups. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed.

Installation and Common Issues

The mid-tower chassis uses standard mounting points for the LGA 2066 motherboard and the 950 W 80 Plus Gold power supply, so component access is straightforward. Memory populates eight DDR4 slots; the current 128 GB configuration leaves four slots open for expansion up to the 256 GB maximum. The Quadro P5000 occupies a full-height PCIe slot and requires its auxiliary power connector seated firmly. Verify that the four DisplayPort cables are locked in place to avoid signal drop-outs on multi-display arrays.

Pre-Order Compatibility Checks

Confirm that your workload benefits from ECC registered DDR4 memory, as standard unbuffered modules will not function in this platform. Ensure your monitors accept DisplayPort 1.4 signals to use all four outputs on the Quadro P5000. The 950 W supply delivers ample headroom for the installed CPU and GPU, but check that any additional storage or add-in cards stay within the chassis power budget. The system includes an Intel i219 Gigabit Ethernet controller and Realtek ALC3234 audio; no wireless or Bluetooth hardware is present.
