Where the hell did you get it? I’ve been trying to find it for 8 months now.

What kind of temperature drops did you notice after the change (under no load, under load) and is this quieter than the stock fan? I've been having like 70C CPU temp while doing nothing, I'm going to clean some dust out but there's not much dust to begin with. I might wanna buy this but spending $80 + learning to apply thermal paste and everything (never did it) is something I don't want to do unless it reduces heat significantly and hopefully sound. I really appreciate if you could reply with how things are going 7 months later :)

I used Articlean Thermal material remover and Thermal Surface Purifier. Most people just use 90% isopropyl alcohol though. Recommend using a coffee filter when cleaning the surface since it's lint free.

Thanks!

And this needs to be replaced as well? Or ? Please advise and thanks for catching that!

Good catch! It's Dell p/n 639V8 which is a VR heat sink that gets tucked right below the CPU fan. The heat sink is listed on the Dell "product specs" list for XPS 8930's with i7-8700K CPUs. (I confirmed this by finding an 8930 with an i7-8700K off eBay and then typing the service tag into the Dell website.) It seems that the heat sink is used for i7-7700K CPUs as well. I hope this info helps some other people - better late than never!

@@bovideos9751 Is it a necessary part for this upgrade? In other words, if I put in the upgraded heat sync and fan, will there be any adverse effects by leaving out p/n 639V8?

@@gi_nattak I guess it depends on the loads that the PC sees - the heatsink would likely be more helpful for gaming & video editing but I haven't heard of any overheating issues if you don't use it 🤷 Regardless, I went ahead put the heatsink onto my 8920 just for good measure, even though I don't do much gaming and do zero video editing. Note: for my 8920 motherboard there were no standoffs for the heatsink and so I had to use Home Depot machine screws & nuts to fasten the heatsink to the motherboard.

wondering the same thing? ive never really opened up my pc before but this seems like a simple thing to do.. is that like a paste that it needs to glue the fan to the processor ?? why is that necessary

Emmanuel Mendez Nah. It’s just to keep it cool. Use any thermal page. Arctic Brand is the best. You need it though.

Because it’s the K version

How come mines didnt come with it it's the same as yours? I thought it was the PSU and replaced it with a seasonic gold but it seems it's the cpu fan.

As long as it's in the 8930 style case it should work.

I did a new build with the i7 10700 and put a IC pad on the cpu inatead of paste and put the Cooler Master air cooler that is sold on BestBuy which is like 39.99. It keeps the cpu around 25 to 30 at iddle and around 45 to 50 full load. The cooler master is the same shape as the Noctua NH U12A but with one fan. I tried them both and got almoat the same temps give or take 1 to 3 degrees. And the cooler master is way cheaper, the noctua is around 109 vs 39 for the Cooler Master hyper 212. I was very impresed.

This is the only option I know of that fits in the 8930 case. The fan part number is KTDJC. You should be able to find that separately on Ebay and put the two together.

I was able to find the fan part on Dell's website directly! My temps are much lower now than with stock cooler. Thank you!!

How did you find it? Having trouble finding parts on Dell.

Sorry just saw this message. The case is so tight there isn't much more you can do. There may be upper fans you can buy but you'd be limited to the same size as the original so you'd have to try to find one with the same dimensions that perhaps spins at a faster speed or has a steeper pitch on the blades or both... Even then I think any gains in cooling would be minimal. I'm still using the same computer you saw in the video and have produced dozens of videos since then in 4K and haven't seen the processor go above 200 degrees except for very short intervals in warmer summer time weather when producing long videos. Eventually i will upgrade to a larger case and install a liquid cooler so I can go to a K processor and overclock.

Hi mate, This is what I have done to cool my pc down. I have the black i7 7700k with the 1080 variant. I also added a fan ontop of the one seen in this picture where the hard drive bay is. I also added one on the back panel and removed some of the case fins. overall I am happier with the temps I get but when gaming I still hit anywhere from 70-90 degrees Celsius. FYI i used the two bottom hard drive bayes instead of the top one near the front of the case for my hard drives. But If anyone has any other ideas for cooling or if anyone knows of a tried and tested fan controller for this unit (software based) hit me up. www.dell.com/community/XPS-Desktops/XPS-8920-added-120mm-front-fan-with-pictures/td-p/6117839

also used cabled ties to hook my fans up

@@irfanlakha7333 nice, well I have a completely different system now, but I had this system running very cool with an undervolt (with an overclock) and a delid. if you're brave/adventurous, give that a shot because i had a solid 5ghz going and I never went over 75C during stress tests. I also had a really nice low profile noctua (L12S) cooler that was much more effective than this Dell cooler.

Heatsink part number T57JF Fan part number KTDJC I believe that these 2 parts came as original parts on the Dell XPS 8910 Special Edition

Yup most likely my xps 8920 s.e die within 6 months. Replaced the PSU and it still shifted on me now it's my cpu fan.

RPTV yeah I fried the 8700k with the stock cooler good thing I had that dell warranty

Never contacted Dell because I got my computer off ebay.

Make sure that the mounting points are the same; Dell uses proprietary heatsink mounts. It’s irritating. If you can fit an aftermarket cooler, go with that (unless you have an extended warranty) because it will probably work better still.

Some units came with them but I'm not sure which ones. It was an option that could be added by the purchaser if ordered directly from Dell as well.

@@experi-mental6710 I bought the XPS 8930 with the i7 8700k, opened it up and guess what, the upgraded fan is there

Robin Lowet where are the fans located? I have an 8700k as well and want to check. What do ur temps run at?

@@zzDeVastate21 I bought my pc from the Belgium Dell website. Idk if you can buy it seperately. The fan is located the same place as the fan of the videomaker

Got it off ebay.

I replaced mine however the noise is still in some condition. No big difference

How did you change that setting? In BIOS or using a 3rd party app?

any links to that front fan? please advise

@@brentbradley6711 that guy doesnt have a video card and i have a 1070 looks like i may have to go that route but with a thinner fan ...would i still benefit ? My card will block most of the airflow from where the cpu is at

Heatsink part number: T57JF , Fan part number: KTDJC

I got mine off ebay. Honestly they're getting harder to find. I think I heard someone say they were able to get them directly from dell by calling them and giving them the part numbers.

Upgrade power supply why?

That's because you keep converting terabytes of porn from mp4 to .mov

@@mansandem If you would quit creating it and sending it to me.

with the better heatsink you still have to limit it to 3.9GHz if you dont want it to be noisy in gaming.

enderlul yes you can transfer everything you just have to go to dell website and see where things go

Dunno really....stupid designs, stupid limits, thermals, noises.... For that video I would put that aio on this cpu, better and quieter option 🤷
