Re: T3600 Fan Upgrades Don't do a dumb like me. The fan will be in the way of the stupid locking bracket thing for the case's side panel. It went on without any trouble, and it wasn't until I tried to remove the panel…

Re: T3600 Fan Upgrades I forgot to add, I wouldn't bother with the three front case fans. They're not impossible to replace, but they're a bit of a pain to remove. I had considered replacing them with three Noctuas (for…

Re: T3600 Fan Upgrades I just added a 92mm Noctua exhaust fan to my T3600 with good results. The first test showed the max CPU temp drop 10 degrees from 70 to 60 while playing GTA V. The GPU dropped 7 degrees.…

E5-1660 vs. E5-2687w
Howdy, I upgraded a T3600 from the pathetic E5-1603 (4c/4t, 2.8 GHz) to an E5-1660 (6c/12t, 3.3 GHz/3.9 GHz). I decided on the E5-1660 since that CPU has the highest base and turbo clock speeds…

Re: High CPU temps after upgrading Just to update this, I decided to go the full Noctua route and added the NH-D9DX i4 3U heatsink as described in Adam's blog . This dropped the CPU temp from 80° C to 70° C while playing GTA V.…

Re: High CPU temps after upgrading The CPU is idling in the upper 30's with a Noctua fan at 100% on the stock heat sink. The CPU fan adapter did not work, so the PWM wire is disconnected.…

Re: High CPU temps after upgrading @Gorilla Warfare @Jbigticket23 The idle temps were much better after starting in the morning. The cores are around the mid-30's, so it doesn't seem like a bad application of thermal paste now.…

High CPU temps after upgrading
I just replaced an E5-1603 (4c/4t 2.8 GHz) with an E5-1660 (6c/12t 3.3 GHz/3.9 GHz) in a T3600. The idle temp before was in the upper 30's. After upgrading, it's idling in the low 50's.…

Re: T3600, best GPU before bottle-necked? @andres cuevuu Mostly, depending on the card. You may need a PCIe power adapter. The 635 watt PSU comes with two 6-pin adapters, while many cards now require 8-pin or 8-pin and 6-pin connectors.…

Re: T3600, best GPU before bottle-necked? @Jbigticket23 That's what I'm thinking, that's it's probably not worth the extra money for a slight increase in FPS.

Re: T3600, best GPU before bottle-necked? @Jbigticket23 Thanks for the feedback. Typically FPS and similar, which is why I'd like to get as much GPU as the system can handle. I really enjoyed the mods for GTA IV back in the day and would…

T3600, best GPU before bottle-necked?
I acquired an old Precision T3600 from work and have finally decided it may be worth trying to upgrade it. It has a 635 watt PSU, 32 GB of RAM and the base Xeon E5-1603.…
