I've got the R9 variant. I've done the following; -32GB (2× 16GB) 3200mt/s CL18 RAM -upgraded battery -added second 2tb M.2 -MX-5 Thermal Paste -Re-pad w/ better pads -Mesh removed from tray intake vents -Taped up gap between fans and exhaust fins Still on BIOS v1.4.4 and have to use Dell July 2020 driver every time I upgrade GPU drivers for FreeSync to work properly.
@@nexus_tech yeah, it serves me well. I'll hold onto it for a bit. I use it mainly when I can't get to my office at night, and when I'm out of town. Not sure I'll upgrade from it any time soon, so long as it serves me well for 6 more years.
This is a great laptop. I have mine hooked up to a 1440p monitor and get some good food with low cpu temps so it doesn't throttle back. I did move to an Xbox series X but now back to the G5... Can't beat pc gaming 😊
@@nexus_tech u can use the windows registry hack to limit the max voltage to 100W when u select the "efficient aggressive" option from the "edit power plan". It works for me.

Hi Scott, I've sold the laptop off, by the looks, you've made the absolute best out of the available platform, I bet it's running like dream! :)

Hi Nick! Amazing! I no longer have this laptop, did you upgrade yours or did it come with higher spec ?
BMW Blender CPU on 10400F with 225W power limit and DDR4 4000MHz: 4 min 22 sec
upgrade the ram to 16gb for 10+ fps
I got mine for 667 bucks can't beat it
Scooby! Thanks for checking out the video. How are you getting along with your G5 ?
Have u undervolted the cpu? Or it running on stock setting
No undervolting was done, Ryzen master would not work for me on this laptop, all stock
