Dell Precision T3420 Tower i5-6500 32GB 250GB NVMe

Tower Workstation with i5-6500

The Dell Precision T3420 is a tower workstation built around a quad-core Intel Core i5-6500 processor running at 3.2 GHz. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory and a 250 GB NVMe M.2 SSD. Windows 10 Professional 64-bit comes pre-installed. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 provides display output via two DisplayPort and one HDMI connection.

Suits single-threaded office workflows

This system suits professionals running single-threaded CAD, finance or office applications that benefit from the 3.2 GHz clock speed and 32 GB of memory. The four DIMM slots are already populated to the 32 GB maximum supported with this processor, so buyers who need more memory capacity should look elsewhere. The half-height PCIe x16 slot limits graphics upgrades to low-profile cards only.

32 GB DDR4 memory ceiling

The installed 32 GB of DDR4 memory reaches the maximum capacity supported when a Core i5-6500 is fitted, because the memory controller on this processor tops out at 32 GB. Four slots are present but cannot be used to exceed that limit. Anyone requiring 64 GB must choose a configuration with a Xeon or Core X processor instead.
