Dell Precision 5820 Tower Overview

Built to handle complex projects, including virtual reality workflows, the Precision 5820 Tower Workstation from Dell is powered by a 3.6 GHz Intel Xeon W-2123 Quad-Core processor which will allow you to run multiple applications simultaneously. If more power is needed, the CPU can deliver extra performance by increasing its clock speed up to 3.9 GHz utilizing Intel's Turbo Boost 2.0 technology. There is also 16GB of 2666 MHz DDR4 ECC Registered RAM that comes in a 2 x 8GB configuration and can be upgraded to 256GB by using a 32GB module in each of the eight 288-pin DIMM slots.

For storage of your files, this system is equipped with both a 256GB SATA 2.5" SSD and a 1TB 7200 rpm SATA 3.5" hard drive. If you want to add external storage drives, optical drives, printers, memory card readers, or other peripherals, the 5820 features two 5 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C ports (front), one of which supports PowerShare, and eight 5 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports (two front and six rear), one of which supports smart Power-on. There is also one serial port and two PS/2 ports. The dedicated NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 graphics card has 8GB of GDDR6 RAM and delivers a sharp, clear picture, while allowing for multiple simultaneous displays to be used via its three DisplayPort 1.4 outputs. There is also a VirtualLink port, which lets you connect high-resolution VR headsets via USB Type-C. Whether you are listening to music, watching a movie, or playing a game, the integrated Realtek ALC3234 audio controller outputs high-definition audio and delivers higher fidelity than standard audio controllers. Network connectivity is achieved using the integrated Gigabit Ethernet port, Dell's 8x DVD±RW drive can be used to read from and write to optical media, and the integrated card reader supports UHS-II SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards.

Dell's Precision 5820 Tower Workstation includes their KB216 USB keyboard, MS116 USB mouse, and a power cord. The installed operating system is Windows 10 Pro for Workstations (64-bit), which scales up for machines with a high number of logical processors and large amounts of RAM for server-grade hardware and power users.

General Features
Brainpower that Matches Yours
A 3.6 GHz Intel Xeon W-2123 Quad-Core processor powers your most demanding applications with its single-socket architecture.
Accelerate Your Projects
Run your software faster and get real-time results, thanks to 16GB of 2666 MHz DDR4 memory that can be expanded up to 256GB.
Drown Out Distraction
Focus on your tasks with a workstation that's is quiet. A multi-channel thermal design delivers advanced cooling and acoustics for enhanced cooling and quiet operation when your system is under heavy workloads.
Adapts to Your Innovations
Your Precision 5820 Tower is ready for complex projects, including virtual-reality workflows, thanks to a NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 graphics card. Your workstation supports up to 600W of graphics power and future graphics options up to 300W per card with the included 950W PSU
Fine Tune Audio and Video
Command your audio and video needs with an optional DPAI audio module capable of handling professional applications.
No Project Is Too Big
Up to six 2.5" or five 3.5" drives and front access storage including SATA, SAS, and PCIe M.2/U.2 NVMe SSDs can be configured and easily swapped. With the hot-swap feature on the M.2 and U.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs, you can remove drives without shutting down the workstation. Enable increased storage performance with the optional Intel CAS-W cache acceleration solution for workstations.
Tuned Performance
Free with your Precision workstation, the Dell Precision Optimizer takes the guesswork out of customizing settings and automatically tunes your workstation to run the most popular Independent Software Vendor (ISV) applications at the fastest speeds possible. Featuring centralized management with Microsoft SCCM and KACE, simplified systems management to improve system reliability, detailed analytics and smart notifications to proactively address resource bottlenecks, certified graphics driver downloads and Radeon ProRender ray-tracing plug-ins to render stunningly photorealistic images ― all in an elegant, new UI.
Stay Safe, Stay Secure
Reduce downtime with Dell Reliable Memory Technology (RMT) Pro. Designed to work with ECC memory, RMT protects your machine from potential crashes by mapping out bad memory locations after the system reboots.
Reliably Access Your Data
Improve the availability of your data with hardware and software optional RAID storage options, including PCIe NVMe SSDs and optional Smart Card (CAC/PIV) readers that let you determine who can access your system.
Your Work Can Count on It
Precision Workstations are tested to ensure the high-performance applications you rely on every day run smoothly. Dell ISV-certifications cover the most popular independent software applications.
Windows 10 Pro
Start Menu
After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8's Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items.
Cortana
Microsoft's digital personal assistant, Cortana, can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the Internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Laptop, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information-gathering skills.
Microsoft Edge
After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.
Windows Store
For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.
Windows Continuum
Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it's not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.
Xbox on Windows 10
Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.
Additional Windows 10 Pro Features
The Pro version of Windows 10 includes all the features of Windows 10 Home plus many designed specifically for business users, including Hyper-V virtualization, BitLocker disk encryption, and remote desktop access. Devices will also be able to join domains and the Azure Active Directory, and they can even access a specialized version of the Windows Store featuring custom, company-specific applications.
