I was helping my 11 year old Grandson upgrade is Dad's old work PC. (the T3500). He wanted a better solution to play his favorite game Fortnight. I had a brand new 550W power supply that I had sitting on my shelf for the past 8 years. We installed the XFX Radeon RX 570 RS 8GB AMD Graphics Card, and replace the power supply. Thanks for the video, it helped a lot. I ended up just leaving the old wiring harness as is. There was plenty of room. At some point, I think he will want to upgrade the mother board, and at that point I will clean up the wires. Also found 6 more GB of RAM from a neighbors old HP Desktop. So he has 12 GB RAM now. He is a happy camper.
Found my T3500 in the recycling centre thought heck I'll see if it works more intrigue than anything . Once opened up it had its stock PSU and an old Xeon inside. I had an old geforce 710, some ram and a HDD so I powered on and it booted up, couldn't quite believe it. I still have it now upgraded with a 650 w PS with a Xeon x5670 , gtx 1070 , 24 GB ram and SSD, runs like a champ. plays latest games on high settings , runs steam VR via virtual desktop honestly best PC I never paid for!
Nice video, put a 650W PSU in mine back in November, ended up removing mobo like you, replaced processor with a X5680 six core 12 threads and popped in a GTX 770 making a really cheap gaming PC. Also added SSD and memory can be found cheap because its ECC. Overall very pleased with the result, also It's the sturdiest desktop I've encountered, this thing is built like a tank !
@@nghaninawab Corsair TX650M, now I have upgraded graphics with RX 570 bought cheap ex mining card, even better performance. I think X5680s have also dropped in price quite a lot.
I got my T3500 from work a few years back. A customer of ours was upgrading their IT so old the old kit came back to us and most of it was simply being thrown away. I rescued the T3500, cleaned out the dust from inside (it was literally caked in black filthy dust), replaced the CPU with a Xeon 5670 6 core 12 thread processor I got from eBay, replaced the 2 x HDD's which were in RAID configuration with a 500GB SSD, removed the RAID controller, removed the Quadro GPU that was in there and replaced it with a Gigabyte Radeon RX 570 8GB card, removed a few other random cards (one of which was a serial card with 4 connectors on it), and upgraded the RAM to 12GB in triple channel configuration. I installed Windows 7 first then upgraded it to Windows 10 whilst Microsoft were still doing that for free. It runs great and I can play pretty much any game I like on it. It's an extremely heavy machine and built really solid, and I think it it was well worth the relatively small amount of money I had to spend on it to get it up to a reasonable level of performance.

Hello, cannot find anymore the EVGA 100-B1-0700-K1. Do you know if the EVGA 100-BR-0700-K works for Dell Precision T3500 as well? Is there any problem related to "inverted polarity" in original Dell Power Supply N525EF-00 that prevents its substitution by EVGA 100-BR-0700-K?
To anyone considering doing this, rather than cutting wires and essentially taking apart your whole system, look for T5500 power supply which is plug-n-play direct swap of 525w PSU to 875w PSU.

I've got that installed on my own T3500 at home and its been running fine for well over 8 months now. The wiring harness for the 3500 will not work with the T5500's PSU, so it has to be the 875w T5500 PSU and harness.

Hey Manoj, we have not tried those power supplies in the T3500. I don't see why they would not work as long as you can physically fit them in to the T3500 Chassis. Here are the dimensions of the PSU that we used: 85MM (H), 150MM (W), 140MM (L). I hope this info helps.
hello friend this is the "9kpnv" model motherboard of dell? i had this doubt that uses standard 24pin power supply,i am new in this mobo motherboard and want to buy at a good price? thanks and greetings
Assuming that you would upgrade the power supply first, you could install an RTX 2080 Ti in to a Precision T3500. However, we wouldn't recommend it, because the bottle-necking would be terrible. The GTX 1660 Ti, RTX 2060 Super, and RTX 2070 Super cards would have less bottle-necking, are cheaper, and work well in precision T3500 Workstations.

Great video! I have a T3500, which I run as a Hackintosh, and I have fan noise which I don't know if it is coming through the PSU or front fans. I have a modular Corsair 750 Watt laying around so I'll replace it to see if it helps kill the noise. Also, I could upgrade the GPU, which is a Radeon RX 560, with the additional power for the card. I will take off the motherboard as I would like to run the 8 pin power harness under the board as the original Dell PSU had. I do like your idea of cutting off the harness connectors though. I was wondering if you tried just one at a time pulling the wires up individually for less resistance after you cut them? Oh well wish me luck and I hope I don't have any extra %$#& screws. Thanks for the help.
@@GreenPCGamerscom Thanks for all your help. Yep, the cable are bound pretty tight with the cable ties so I can see why you couldn't yank them out individually. The Corsair is keeping things quiet for the moment. The front fans were really dirty and I gave them a good cleaning so fingers crossed it's not them. I ordered a fan/heat sink for the northbridge because I hear that it can get very hot. Thanks again.

Thanks for the help.
Sometimes the front fans fail and can causing a whining noise. We tried pulling individual cables w/o any luck. Good Luck!
@@GreenPCGamerscom Thanks for all your help. Yep, the cable are bound pretty tight with the cable ties so I can see why you couldn't yank them out individually. The Corsair is keeping things quiet for the moment. The front fans were really dirty and I gave them a good cleaning so fingers crossed it's not them. I ordered a fan/heat sink for the northbridge because I hear that it can get very hot. Thanks again.
I bought my t3500 on ebay for 89$ shipped I was gonna use it for a nas server but I got tied into turning it into a gaming pc from youtube
I removed my drive cage area, and put an Sata SSD under the cd rom drive.
Thank you!
I got mine from work after they were upgrading to new PCs
I got mine from GE in Schenectady NY lol
I don’t think they supply close to 520w if they did pretty much every single graphics card could run of it
They T3500 factory power supply is just old and poorly designed.
@@GreenPCGamerscom Its the 12 volt rail that does not supply enough power these systems were never meant for gaming GPUs.
@@NoodlesTBograt they can deliver enough for a GTX 1650. That's a lower tdp than the dual NVIDIAs that the systems were designed to run.
