As you probably know, the gaming community is never easy to satisfy in terms of “price-to-performance” ratios. But Dell usually does that and has especially succeeded with its latest XPS 625 and XPS 630 gaming desktops that have recently received an upgrade bound to make overclocking fans jump for joy.
As you probably already know, the 630 packed an NVIDIA nForce650 SLI Chipset, overclockable Intel Processors, overclockable memory (up to 4 GB DDR2 RAM), 1TB HDD, as well as an optional Blu-ray drive and an array of NVIDIA and ATI single or dual graphics options. The Dell 625, however, had an AMD Phenom II X4 940 (3.0 GHz) Quad-Core Processor, 4GB DDR2-800 Memory, an ATI Radeon 4850 PCI Express 2.0 graphics card with 512 MB memory and a 150GB HDD.
Although not really impressive, the devices offer enough power to cope with any new game on the market, as well as make them very affordable as far as gaming desktops are concerned - 899 USD (the 625 version) and 1099 USD (obviously, the 630). Who said gaming had to be expensive, right? Gamers already pay a lot of money on the titles themselves, it is nice for companies such as Dell to cut gamers a little slack and not tag their latest gear with an exaggerated price.
So, what could Dell add to its systems that is supposed to make overclockers happy? You guessed it folks, a liquid-cooling option. As some of you might know, these systems were a little loud and had a problem with heating if overclocked to a certain degree. Not anymore. Users have an option to replace their fan-based cooling system with a liquid cooling one from Asetek. With just an extra 120 USD, you'll be taking your CPU to new heights.
