What is the size of the fan on the Dell Inspiron 660?
Okay guys, recently I was lucky enough to order the 2TB/1 GB Dedicated GPU/Core i5 Dell Inspirion 660 desktop here . I am looking to change up the fan to add some lighting inside the system, and after trying to talk to various and various dell representatives and calling several numbers, no one was able to help.
Does any one know the size of the Inspiron 660 fan?? I believe it has to be 80mm or 120mm.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's also surprising, I looked at the technical PDF for this desktop, and there was no mention of the specific details on individual components..

Hey, got a quick question for you. I saw that the dell inspiron has PC3-14900 DDR3 1600Mhz ram, according to the dell reps, and the CPU supports up to 1600Mhz max supposedly.
So if I get the 1866Mhz ram, PC3-14900, I can't use it to that clock speed, because the CPU won't allow it right? I mean the mobo I'm getting supports OC well above 1866, but didn't know if you could forcefully OC the ram. At this point, I'm still trying to figure out if I can OC the CPU as well in the new rig. I know that the mobo/bios usually lets you do that or you need some sort of program but not entirely sure.
But lets say the rig won't support up to 1866 what so whatever, and my clock speed is 1600, it's generally better to keep 1866 ram just so it doesn't have any problems right?
Have you ever OC'ed your ram or CPU on your current rig?

Are you talking about getting Dell processor and placing it into new motherboard?

Yeah, the i5 quad core 3.0 Ghz.
On a dell desktop, how would you go ahead and OC? Is it all in the bios or program?
I was told that the bios is usually where it lets you do all that stuff.

on non Dell motherboard you can overclock RAM by tweaking/changing voltages - really a headache. On Dell motherboard - no go.
