Dell Precision 5820 Tower Workstations – new and refurbished

FAQ

What is the Dell Precision 5820 Tower suitable for?

It's a tower workstation built for demanding software: CAD/CAM design, 3D rendering, video editing, simulation and data analysis. Its strength is combining a powerful processor, plenty of RAM and a professional graphics card in a single chassis. For office tasks and everyday web browsing, it's far more powerful than you need.

Which Intel processors does this single-processor Precision 5820 workstation use?

The Precision 5820 is a single-processor platform that takes Intel Xeon W or Intel Core X-series CPUs. The exact CPU model, core count and clock speed depend on the configuration. Before buying, check the listing for the specific offer to see which processor is installed.

How much RAM does the Precision 5820 Tower support?

The platform supports DDR4 memory, including ECC modules, with a maximum capacity of several hundred GB (depending on the processor and configuration). The amount of RAM is determined by the specific offer, so check the specifications. For 3D graphics or large datasets, it's worth choosing more memory than you think you'll need.

Can the graphics card in the Precision 5820 Tower be replaced with a more powerful one?

Yes. Thanks to the tower chassis and PCIe slots, you can install professional graphics cards, such as those from the NVIDIA RTX/Quadro or AMD Radeon Pro series. Before upgrading, make sure the power supply in your configuration has enough capacity and the right power connectors, and that the card will fit inside the chassis.

How does the Precision 5820 Tower differ from the Precision 7820 Tower?

The Precision 5820 is built around a single processor (Xeon W or Core X) and is well suited to most professional uses. The 7820 supports dual-processor configurations and offers more expansion options, but it is usually more expensive. If you don't need the maximum number of cores, the 5820 is the more sensible choice.
