Precision T3660 Power Supply Options

Question

Hello, new member here. I have two older Precision workstations and now I'm looking at the new T3660 workstations. I see there are some decent prices for refurbished ones on the Outlet. But the power supplies are all 500 watt or less. I need higher wattage for high end graphics cards. I've seen ones listed with 750 watt I believe, but none now. I can't find any information about purchasing the higher wattage power supplies separately. The service manual for the T3660 has a picture of a power supply with 0M2G8X on the label but Googling that turns up pretty much nothing. Does anybody have part numbers for the power supplies, or links to purchase them from Dell?

And is it a standard form factor? It's the same shape as the power supplies in my T3610 and T5820 but those are both unique non-standard designs that aren't even interchangeable with each other.

@jp_jackalope  3660 doesn't have bigger power supply. @DELL-Chris M   might have more information. H460EBM-00 D460E001P 4FWF7   4FWF7 460W

Hi Chris M.

Thanks for the information that shared with us. I want to buy one of these 1000 W PSU. Could you help me to buy that? Where I can found and buy it? My PC is XPS 8950 with Core i5-12400 and 16 GB DDR5. Thanks.

No, I am not in Sales. You will need to search the web for the Dell 5 digit part number.

@DELL-Chris M​ I just bought a RD0G0 for my Precision 3660.  The RD0G0 uses a 10-pin motherboard connector as opposed to the 8-pin motherboard connector from my 500W.  I definitely want to make sure that this is safe before powering it up?  Also to note, the 4-pin cables are about 18 inches too short for the Precision 3660.  I've ordered some extension cables to remedy this. Upon looking at pictures of the 43YPM and the R61DG, the cables are also too short on those models.  Do you know which 1000W PSU is used with the Precision 3660/ RTX 4090 package?  Is there another PSU that is possibly smaller to allow better airflow, or one that has (3)8-pin connectors?  Or is it safe to use the piggy-backed 6-pins on the RD0G0 to power up the third circuit on the Dell OEM RTX 4090 that I have?  I'm also very curious how Dell was able to fit a 4090 in this little computer when the PSU only leaves it with a 0.5' clearance on the OEM GPU.  Thanks for everything you do Chris!

I am trying to find the 'PSU cage' for the Precision 3660. I am upgrading my GPU and want to add the mid-card support that requires that cage. Can’t find a part number anywhere. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I have a Precision t3660 and it has a 500W power supply. I bought a 750W unit recommended by Dell. And I noticed that the power cables on the CPU 4pin are short and the power cables in my 500W unit are long. Will I now need to buy an adapter or how can this be implemented?

I just made a similar post elsewhere but feel like this might be a more legitimate place to ask this question maybe:

Hello, i am still struggling to find a proper wattage PSU for my Precision 3660 machine. Currently have the 500W and probably need almost the 1000W but all i can find is sometimes there is one on ebay where ive contacted the sellers to ask for more info and things seemed scetchy and also i am searching other places and i see today NEWEGG has the 1000W PSU i need but they are selling them at bioth $70.00 and $550.00 and to me even $200 is almost too much to pay for that PSU. Is there some secret conspiracy to try to screw over people that are in need of more power from their computers? I hate it cause its such an oddly made and shaped PSU and i have 3 others computers over here, they aren't all completely, mostly parts but each of them have over 800W psu's in them and there isn't any way i can install them cause of sign and fan placement. Any of you guys have experience in this kinda business practices or other options? And is using my computer with barely enough PSU going to damage all the other parts I have in it? I already have to unplug all my usb devices, and 2 external hdd's every night before i sleep or computer will crash and anytime i need to reboot i need to do the same. But also sometimes, when just watching youtube things will freeze, fial, crash, and come back up after about 30 to 45 seconds of doing that and i just worries me and I cant figure out any other answer to my problem.
