Tower Plus EBT2250, future upgrade CPU cooler?
Im planning to buy the Dell Tower Plus EBT2250 with the Intel Core Ultra 7 265, 32GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB SSD, Nvidia Geforce RTX 5070. I have 2 question, it does come up with the 65W cpu cooler, can i install later on a more powerful one like the 120W c253w or from other brands? Also, does it come with a 3 fan 5070 or 2 fan. Thanks a lot! It would be cool to understand what can i upgrade later on and what are the bindings of the upgrades!

Probably better to install 125w cpu cooler but you can do it later

@redxps630
Thank you so much! I'm restricted to purchasing it on Amazon to use some bonuses my country offers, and it's the only model available. So, I wanted to know if there are any restrictions if, for example, I want to install a CPU cooler from another brand if it's causing problems. Thanks so much in advance. (This is the configuration: Dell Tower Plus EBT2250 PC Desktop – Intel Core Ultra 7 265, 32GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB SSD, Nvidia Geforce RTX 5070, Windows 11 Pro, Wi-Fi 6E, Design Grafite )

Dell oem cpu fan is probably different from non-Dell which may cause bios error on start up when using non Dell cooler.

I suggest you buy it pre-configured the way you want it and will keep it. Use it.
Or, just custom-build one. That way, you can add whatever Liquid-Cooler you want and control it with something like Corsair-iQue.

The Dell C253W 125W air cooler is only $65 from Dell. I ordered one and received it in less than a week.
This is probably the best fitting and easiest-to-install cpu cooler and it works with up to an Ultra 9 285K cpu.
I plan to use mine with an Ultra 7 270K plus when those become available.
