DELL Precision 5820 Tower Workstation Xeon W-2245 256GB DDR4 2TB NVMe Quadro P4000 Windows 11 Pro

Precision 5820 Tower Workstation

The Dell Precision 5820 is a mid-tower desktop built for professional workloads. It ships with an Intel Xeon W-2245 eight-core processor running at 3.9 GHz with a 4.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory and a 2 TB PCIe NVMe solid-state drive. An Nvidia Quadro P4000 graphics card with 8 GB GDDR5 provides four DisplayPort outputs for multi-monitor setups.

Installation and common issues

The workstation arrives fully assembled with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed and digitally activated. Adding or replacing memory uses the eight DDR4 slots; the board supports a maximum of 256 GB, which this unit already reaches. The 950 W 80 Plus Gold power supply handles the installed components, but the physical length of the Quadro P4000 may limit additional full-length cards. Ensure the chassis side panel secures properly to maintain airflow through the CPU and GPU coolers.

256 GB DDR4 memory ceiling

The platform caps at 256 GB across its eight slots, so this configuration leaves no room for future RAM upgrades. Buyers who anticipate larger datasets or virtualisation clusters should note this limit before purchase. The 2 TB NVMe drive offers fast primary storage, yet only one M.2 slot is populated; secondary drives would require 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch bays. The Xeon W-2245 uses the LGA 2066 socket, tying the CPU to this generation.
