DELL Precision 5820 Tower Xeon W-2135 32GB 512GB NVMe 2TB HDD M5000

Precision 5820 Tower Workstation

The Dell Precision 5820 is a tower workstation built around an Intel Xeon W-2135 processor with six cores and twelve threads at 3.70 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory, a 512 GB NVMe drive and a 2 TB hard disk. An Nvidia Quadro M5000 graphics card with 8 GB of memory drives four DisplayPort outputs and one DVI port. The system targets engineers, designers and analysts who need certified professional graphics and ECC memory support in a desktop form factor.

Sustained load behaviour

The Xeon W-2135 maintains its 3.70 GHz base frequency across all six cores during extended compute tasks thanks to the workstation-class cooling and a 950 W power supply. Four-channel DDR4 memory bandwidth feeds the CPU and the Quadro M5000 simultaneously, so rendering, simulation and large dataset workflows do not throttle after the initial burst. Two NVMe interfaces and three drive caddies allow fast scratch space to be added without saturating the storage subsystem.

Thermals noise and power

The 950 W PSU (model FSF068) delivers ample headroom for the CPU, GPU and additional expansion cards while running quietly under typical office ambient temperatures. The tower chassis uses directed airflow across the motherboard and the full-length graphics card, keeping component temperatures stable during long sessions. Front-panel USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C with PowerShare and legacy PS/2 ports remain accessible without obstructing the thermal path.
