looks like Dell did a mid model refresh to add more CPU support and since yours is configured with an i5 7500, you should be able to use any Socket 1151 7th gen i7. Here is your fastest option for each power consumption level:
It physically fits the standard atx psu, but it requires an adapter to go from the 24 pin atx to dell’s proprietary 8 pin. I installed a 750watt corsair in mine and it works fine.
CPU support is limited to MB and chipset, not just the socket. Max spec for I series for the 3620 is i7-7700k. Note that the 3620's BIOS does not have overclock.
"Max spec for I series for the 3620 is i7-7700" do you mean i7-7700k?
I have a xps 8920 and I'm looking to buy a T3620 as a second pc. To me it seems the specs are so close, and the mother board looks so similar, they are almost the same machine.
Here's the question. Are the drivers (or some of them) compatible?
Can we use the 7700k cpu to it's full boost speed of 4.5Ghz? And how is this achieved, with a button press, or is it automatic?
As the 7700k cpu can be over clocked happily to 5Ghz, can the T3620 over clock it? I'm just being curious

This machine can take any socket 1151 CPU from the 6th gen Core series or Xeon E3 12xx V5 families.
The fastest for each are as follows:
--Without integrated graphics--
Xeon E3 1280 V5 (quad core with HT 3.7GHz / 4GHz boost @80W)
--With integrated graphics--
Core i7 6700K (quad core with HT 4GHz / 4.2GHz boost @91W)
Xeon E3 1275 V5 (quad core with HT 3.6GHz / 4GHz boost @@80)
Core i7 6700 (quad core with HT 3.4GHz / 4GHz boost @65W)
