Dell's new prebuilt PC, the "EBT2250," features a custom power connector for Nvidia GPUs to prevent meltdowns commonly associated with the 16-pin connector. The connector is securely fixed in place using genuine Amphenol metal fittings to ensure stability. The power supply is a 1000W 80+ Platinum unit made by LITEON, allowing for future upgrades. Despite the precautions, the Dell-branded RTX 5070 Ti GPU performs well without being hindered by its OEM nature. The system also includes a Core Ultra 275K processor and 32 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM.
