XPS 8930 Upgrades
Hey guys, total noob here. I want to run a bunch of emulators at the same time and was told that I need to upgrade my graphics card. Below are my specs:
I have the XPS 9830
i7-9700 CPU @ 3.00GHz (8 Cores)
24GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
So I have a few questions...
1. Can I upgrade to the RTX 2070 without needing to change anything else with my PC?
2. Are there any other upgrades you would suggest to make so that running a bunch of emulators is seamless and without lag?
3. The fan is incredibly loud on this machine as many others have complained about. I've read some suggestions on how to fix that but didn't understand it. Can I just swap out another fan or do I need to replace the entire case first?
Thanks for all the help!

#IWork4DellI look forward to hearing what Dell recommends for fixing their noisy, poorly ventilated XPS 8930 systems.

Hi, @TotleNoob ,
Welcome to the Forum!
Firstly, do you know which Fan is making the noise (remembering that there are THREE Fans in a typical case:- Case Fan, CPU Fan & PSU Fan) - or perhaps more than one is making the noise?
Secondly, is this Noise associated with heavy use (i.e. when the Temperatures are high) or is it all the time?
Third, do you know what sort of CPU Fan/Cooler arrangement do you have? Is it a "conventional" Fan mounted on top of a Heatsink, or is it a "Blower" type with a significant set of "Fin" to one side?
Finally, do you know what Rating is the PSU? Dell have a habit of only supplying a 460W PSU, which will restrict what upgrades you can do without replacing it!!
