Tower Plus EBT2250, power consumption

Yes.  The Ultra 7 265 turbo TDP is 182 watts with 65w in non-turbo mode.  The RTX 4060 is around 115w-130w.  Max wattages from both is 312w.  You still have plenty of headroom for 2 HDD's.  They don't take that much power.

Also, GPU's don't take full power full-time.  It depends upon the application.

Thanks; sounds like I’ll need to keep an eye on heat as well.

We've got the same model, but with 32GB's of RAM.

I added a single SATA 3.5” 7200rpm HDD without any heat issues or other problems. Have a UPS on it as well, and the total wattage the UPS sees drawing is only 132 watts under normal usage... I wouldn't expect a heat issue as it has been in use for a few months now.

Of course it is my wife's and she doesn't play games that would/could use the video card near its full potential and generate heat.

I'd think the Video Card would be more of a heat generator than 2 mechanical hard drives?  

I agree.  A GPU card can generate more heat than a couple of storage HDD's.

Yup, and as I re-read the initial post, my wife's EBT2250 came a 2TB HDD and there was no heat build up, and soon after we got it, I added a 2nd 2TB HDD... Her configuration has each of those holding 2 1TB partitions, and an 4TB USB External for Acronis back-ups only.

I do check the internal temperatures and have never heard the fans speed up, other than when Dell Support Assist checks the h/w.

Pretty sure if Dell would sell a configuration that has an HDD in it, they know it can be handled both power and heat wise. Just like if you get a K CPU, the heat sink on it is larger than on the standard issue CPU.
