there's been so much buzz around how finally after four long years AMD is
able to challenge Intel once again but
the launch of ryzen was less baby bottom smooth and more teen that
meant well but still managed to bend the civic into a hedge
pc enthusiasts were willing to trust
that AMD would iron out the wrinkles in short order but ryzen wasn't quite ready
for the average consumer you know folks who think when a computer fails to post
it means that it got lost in the mail but good news everyone
the unruly teen has grown up donned a
suit and gotten a job verizon is now
available in dells

now you can say what you want about your past experiences with dell but the fact
is they validate their computers in a different way than individual component
manufacturers for instance when ASUS makes a motherboard that is compatible
with ryzen you can trust that the motherboard will
be good but they only validate the motherboard
not every possible graphics card SSD RAM
stick etc that you could possibly stick in it
what dell sells is the experience as a
whole now you might be sitting there thinking
well that's nice but i'm just going to build my own system anyway but consider
this dell the third largest oem pc producer
in the world sold more than 10 times as
many systems as AMD sold graphics cards
last year and when you consider that you'll understand why
complete system sales is the way forward
for AMD to win back some real market share from team blue but only if that
complete experience is any good so is it
actually it's not bad i'm not a hundred percent sold on the looks the blue
venting on the side is a slightly weird contrast with the boring business
aesthetic of the rest of the case but i wouldn't call it offensive
especially because functionally it's pretty darn good front i o is ample with
type a usb 2 and usb 3 including a quick
charge port for your phone or tablet and a fifth usb of the type c variety even
the sd card reader is high speed which is a nice touch and at the back you'll
find everything you need for a bunch of peripherals or vr gear and analog
surround speaker setup and even your model m keyboard and ball mouse if
you're into that sort of thing also the plastic removing experience was one of
the best we've had in a long time
moving inside then our build out of the inspiron gaming
5675 includes a hard drive with no SSD so the
os is about as responsive and sprightly as my nan
but the good news there is that the motherboard is surprisingly fully
featured so upgrading down the line is a legitimate option
it's a shorter matx board and only two
memory slots is a bit of a downer but it's got dual pci express 16x slots with
adequate spacing and support for crossfire with a third card in between
it rocks two m.2 slots and a whole whack
of SATA ports for all the storage you could reasonably expect to fit in a mid
tower especially if you're willing to get a little creative about drive
mounting and thanks to the am4 socket our ryzen 5 1400 could be replaced with
a 1700x or more giving us up to twice
the core count or even potentially better cpus in the future depending on
AMD and dell's support of this socket moving forward
so the functionality is good but if we're being honest i think dell could do
better when it comes to cable management the overall layout is much better than
older dell systems that i've had the misfortune of upgrading including some
nice touches like room for a much larger power supply standard atx to boot if the
included 460 watt one isn't enough along
with adequate space for full length graphics cards and even a holder for the
back of the graphics card to prevent that smelly guy two seats down at a lan
party from stealing it or actually on second thought it
probably has more to do with those guys in the brown shorts
gaming wise it's about perfectly specked out for 1080p 60fps gaming performing
admirably in everything that we threw at it it's certainly vr capable and managed
a solid 60 frames per second in modern
aaa titles on high slightly older aaa
games can even get the ultra treatment and if you're only playing esports
titles you could even consider an investment into a high refresh rate
display the only issue we had was occasional
stuttering when 3d assets loaded in late
thanks to the molasses speed hard drive vroom vroom so again
get an SSD under full load the CPU
stayed suspiciously cool at less than 40 degrees so i do wonder if dell is
reading the temperature offset correctly about 60 would make more sense with this
cooling solution and as for the GPU it ran a little hotter than we'd like over
80 degrees but this is more the fault of AMD's underwhelming reference cooler
design since it's sitting right beside an open air vent the single exhaust fan
is unexceptional but adequately handled our
single graphics card configuration and features anti-vibration mounts and
overall the inspiron gaming wasn't distracting on the desk and was almost
inaudible when we placed it on the floor though with that said cleaning will be
important for keeping thermals and acoustics consistent over time because
with no dust filters and a lot of openings it's not going to take long to
grow fur in a carpeted room but besides
gaming what can it be used for with only eight gigs of RAM
not that much but with another stick it would be suitable for applications like
photo editing or light video editing and most other general productivity tasks
value-wise i've got to give full marks to both dell and AMD the cost to build
an equivalent system even using non-mining craze prices for the rx 580
was 915 bucks and ours came in at 950.
you lose out on some enthusiast stuff like better overclocking support but for
folks who weren't going to do that anyway 35 dollars is a pretty compelling
value for a functional if kind of crappy keyboard and mouse assembly service and
a full system warranty so our hope is that dell can pop out
heaps of these systems so that AMD gets the cash flow going to continue
improving ryzen and continue stirring up
the processor market well hey there kids
