Features
Operating system
Available with Windows 11.
Unprecedented performance and innovation
Bigger and better: Now sporting a larger chassis than before—27L vs 19L—the new XPS Desktop packs more power
than ever. The bigger chassis gives creativity room to grow, with peak performance today, infinite expandability
tomorrow.
Peak performance: Take a revolutionary leap into real-world hybrid performance with an innovative design that
distributes processing power to where you need it most. Streaming, browsing, video editing and more—up to 12th
Gen Intel® Core™ i9k processors give the boost you need for your biggest breakthroughs.
World-class NVIDIA® GPUs: The XPS Desktop is available with NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 30 Series GPUs, up to the
RTX™ 3090. These GPUs are powered by NVIDIA’s 2nd gen RTX architecture, delivering the ultimate performance,
ray-traced graphics, and AI acceleration for gamers and creators.
Elite AMD GPUs: You can equip your new XPS Desktop with up to AMD Radeon™ RX 6900 XT 16GB GDDR6 graphics
cards. These powerful GPUs can help you dive into 4K gaming and elevate content to new levels of fidelity, thanks to
a blend of raytracing and rasterizing effects.
Next-level memory: DDR5 memory boasts up to 50% faster clock speed than DDR4 memory , while supporting
capacities up to 128GB and speeds up to 4400MHz. This means you can expect better overall performance,
especially when managing large creative content or gaming with friends.
Smoother experiences: Killer™ Networking and Wi-Fi 6 combine to bring you Intel® Killer™ Wi-Fi 6 AX1675, which can
detect, classify and prioritise system traffic, delivering up to 75% less latency than competing 2x2 Wi-Fi products
—for a smooth, premium online experience.
Thermals that power your
creativity
Purposeful design: Down to even the smallest details,
the XPS Desktop was designed for thermal efficiency
and runs cooler than the previous generation
desktop. Cool air enters through a specially designed
front bezel, moving front to back—over the graphics,
power supply and M.2 SSD storage, without ever being
recirculated.
Improved airflow: Engineered with an open layout, the
new XPS Desktop is built without anything sitting on
top of the CPU/GPU, to avoid limiting airflow. This
enables the desktop to remain cooler, compared to its
predecessor.
Quiet efficiency: The XPS Desktop delivers peak
performance with the help of high-RPM fans. While
these fans have max speeds of 5000 RPM, they can
also run slower, therefore at lower acoustics, for a
quieter machine—one that blends into any
environment.
Optional liquid cooling: Liquid cooling is the superior
way to cool a CPU—as water transfers heat with more
efficiency and less noise than air. The magic happens
via a self-contained water loop, without depending on
high-RPM fans. The XPS Desktop with liquid cooling is
cooler and quieter under load than the 125W thermal
solution.
Creation without limits
Creator Edition: XPS configurations badged with
Creator Edition have been carefully selected for
those wishing to cultivate their content creation
skills—be it photography, graphic design, music
production or beyond.
Minimum recommended configuration: i5
processors, 16GB, 512GB, (discrete graphics are
recommended for music production or graphic
design).
Fast-track your creativity: If you’re looking to do
your best work, NVIDIA® GPUs can make it
happen—fast. Render quicker. Broadcast clearer.
Edit videos better. From raytracing and VR to AIpowered 8K video editing, NVIDIA® GPUs paired
with exclusive, free NVIDIA® Studio drivers, boost
workflow and brings out the best in your creative
apps.
Creative command center: The XPS Desktop has
nine USB ports and an integrated card reader, to
improve connectivity and RAW image importing
for creators.
Elegant design, minimalist appeal
Stylish colors: Available in two colors, the XPS Desktop can blend into almost any home or shared workspace. Night
Sky features a two-tone resin front and steel on the sides. Platinum Silver sports an aluminum bead-blasted front
panel, steel sides, a resin grill, and aluminum feet —for an extra touch of elegance.
Finishing touches: The XPS Desktop features a minimalist, glossy XPS logo—because every detail counts.
Perfect for today. Ready for
tomorrow.
Outstanding accessibility: The larger chassis of the
XPS Desktop, along with tool-less entry and an easily
removable side panel, allow for quick access to
internal components and more room to easily upgrade
CPU, GPU, memory and storage.
Endless expandability: The XPS Desktop has four
DIMM slots, three tool-less backplane slots and room
for up to four storage devices. The backplane slots
can be used to add sound cards, additional hard
drives, PCIe SSDs or accelerator cards.
Unlimited potential: Built to run the absolute latest and
greatest in 3rd party graphics, an XPS Desktop with
the optional 750W power supply can accommodate up
to 310mm or 350W graphics while also supporting
next-gen PCIe 5 graphics.

Since this computer only has one display port is there no way of having a double monitor setup
with this exact computer? I'm used to computers having both an hdmi and display ports.
Answer this Question
Weekend IT Dude · 3 days ago
The mother board has one DP output however, you need to look at the specs of the video card you
select. The number of outputs from your video card will tell you how many monitors your system will

answers

cooling. Why is liquid cooling unavailable?
Answer this Question
Dr M · 2 months ago
Unfortunately the i9 K series seems to get to nearly 250w at peak load and easily outstrips the LC
option too! Seems the single 140mm radiator option hasn’t a hope of dealing with a maxed out
12900kf for more than a minute, presumably that’s why they make 240,280 & 360 AIO radiators.
Reviews suggest a good 280/360 AIO can keep the i9 to under 60 degC at full load, I’d just be happy if
it didn’t reach thermal throttling temp (about 100C). There are good air coolers too eg Noctua D15 but
they’re big so may not fit, a 360 AIO may be likewise. I’m looking at a 280AIO (Kraken/MSI) high end to
avoid refilling/leak issues but it’s probably going to void the warranty! Needs a proper system redesign
solution really!

Would it be possible to buy this desktop without a graphics card?
answers
Answer this Question
Ponderer · 3 months ago
Yes! There is an option to buy the system without a discrete graphics card. You simply select the "UHD"
option for graphics and that limits you to the integrated graphics on the CPU. The unit then arrives with
open PCIe x16 graphics slot which you can populate with whatever graphics you want to put in. When a
discrete graphics card is installed the handoff to the Discrete graphics ports for your monitor cable
should be automatic.

This machine has 2 M.2 slots. Are they both M.2 2280 (full size) or is one a short 2230?
answers
Answer this Question
Bill · 4 days ago
Answering my own question :) . DDNorCal is correct. The machine has two 2280 M.2 SSD slots and a
2230 M.2 for the WiFi Bluetooth.
What I did is let the shipped Windows 11 get all configured and updated, then I installed a second 1TB
M.2 SSD and loaded Linux on that one, since it's my daily use OS. I set the BIOS to default boot the
Linux SSD, and if I need to run Windows I F12 at startup to get the boot menu, and I select Windows
Boot Manager.
This machine, BTW, is a SCREAMER, fast as heck. I ordered it with 32GB (2x 16GB), and then bought
two additional 16GB sticks, so it runs 64GB total. I bought an Inspiron 16 laptop last October. The time
to render a 1 hour long mp4 video is just shy of 15 minutes on the laptop, and 2.5 minutes on the
desktop. Very impressive.

jim · 4 months ago
I ordered a computer with No optical drive because with a drive extended delivery by 2 weeks. I had a
online sales rep help me and ordered the dvd drive kit at the same time. The chassis has the available
slot and connectors. But for some reason Dell chooses to supply two different plastic fronts one with a
slot and one without. Yet all the pictures show a slot even on the models without optical drive.

enough for i7-12700k+GTX 1660Ti+Liquid cooling? Is the size of the case different with and
without the optical drive?

Some aftermarket Air Coolers can perform near as well as liquid coolers, I doubt a basic cooler
provided here would perform near as well as a liquid cooler but would still provide you a basic level of
cooling allowing you to see great performance overall; however if you plan to take advantage of the
built in turbo boost capabilities of this processor you may see better performance \ higher single or
multi core frequency from a liquid cooler.

The 12700k is listed to consume a max power draw of 190w, the 1660ti is listed to consume a max of
120w being at 310 watts is a bit high for a 460w PSU given additional power consumption from the
other various peripherals, you really want to be under 50% power load for efficiency and longevity of
the power supply, I would recommend spending a couple dollars on the 750w PSU
