    What laptop do you have right now? 🤔
    CORRECTION 1: Undervolting won't damage your laptop, but can cause BSODs and crashes. Generally -100mv is safe)
    CORRECTION 2: It was actually a crappy Killer WiFi chip on the 9570, I replaced it with a good Intel chip. My mistake! But the Killer chip here works well.

    Returned my XPS15 7590 (OLED) today. The screen itself was incredibly beautiful, everything popped and media was a joy to watch. Unfortunately thermals were catastrophic...
    I achieved a stable undervolt of -0.115v on CPU and undervolted + underclocked the GPU, testing with fans forced to be at 100%, setup laptop on cold surface and this device was unable to operate with normal temps under light use.
    Having multiple applications open (Chrome w 10+ tabs, word, excel, outlook) in a work situation had CPU bouncing off its temp limit. Light gaming at 1080p on 8+ year old games (eg Diablo 3 low settings) caused thermal throttling after 2mins of playtime.
    Yes I understand that this is not a gaming laptop, but spending $3500+ AUD you would expect it to do some basics. When not throttled, the 1650gtx has enough juice to give me 200+fps, but when throttled drops to 300mhz and 5-10fps.
    First time trying Dell, also the last.

    So one year after purchasing my dell XP’s 15 9570 back in 2019 I found out that this laptop has so many performance problems. You need to constantly dust the inside of it to prevent the laptop from overheating and reapply cooling paste. If you are not knowledgeable about computer hardware do not purchase from dell. This video only covers it out of the box not a year later. I used this channel and several others to help influence my decision what laptop to buy and am really disappointed that it never discussed how the laptops perform years later. After my warranty expired within a year I was faced with so many problems meanwhile my hp envy back from 2013 is having less internal problems.

I ended up ordering last year's XPS 15 7590 from Dell with 4k OLED panel, i7, 32gb memory, Nvidia graphics and 1 TB SSD hard drive and extended warranty for $200 more than I paid for the new XPS 13.

    0:15 - “And also mine has a bunch of grease stains on the palmrest”. This has got the be the single worst thing about the XPS 15, and it’s constant daily maintenance to keep this thing clean. Even worse I’ve had the XPS 14 for 4 years before this thing was unveiled and it had virtually the same palmrest material - 8 years dealing with this and I hate it! I sincerely hope the next XPS 15 palmrest is aluminum or something that doesn’t get immediately caked with fingerprints and grease stains

There is some decent coil whine (it doesn't REALLY bother me too much though), the battery lasts about 5 hours with the 4k model. I'd get the i7 and not the I9. The track pad/touch pad is really 'squirrely.' I have have to shutoff any gesture functions in the touchpad to make it usable. Dell techs have 'worked' with me on the wifi issues for about a week. I'm really itching to send the laptop back because I don't see a use in ME buying a new Intel wifi card for a new computer.

    Correction: Undervolting cannot permanently damage your system. At worst, you will crash/bluescreen, and fix it on the following bootup. Although -.100mV is stable on every laptop I've ever touched anyway (and in fact, manufacturers like Razer and Apple do this out of the box).

    i9 performance with undervolt is good though.

They should also stop with the fake carbon, resize the trackpad, put in better speakers and release a 'space grey' version. Then it would be alot more attractive as a Mac/Razer contender. XPS is currently at the status of the HP Envy and that isnt not so bad, but its not so good either.

      @kninezbanks 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      XPS 15 users should undervolt their CPU AND GPU themselves for better performance......Every laptop chip is different, All laptops have different undervolt limits that can only be discovered with extensive testing, something that would take too much time on the manufacturing chain...some OEMs just apply a -100mv undervolt to their CPUs which should work for 95% to 99% of laptops......My current Laptop (Aero 15) has a maximum stable undervolt of (-135mv)....(-140 to -168) will crash randomly.....(-169) and more will cause instant crashing.
      My previous laptops had limits of -125, -110, -150, -170 (highest ever).
      I undervolted my 80W GTX 1060. It does base boost clock of 1670 at 900mv........to 1890 around 1150mv.......I literally turned it into a 60W 1060 max-q (loses 10% performance)
      I looked up the 1060 max-q, it has a maximum clock speed of around 1480mhz.......So I played with the voltage curve and limited it from 1670 to 1480 max clock speed.....at 0.750mv.......150mv below the 900mv of the default 1670.
      The results are amazing.......Playing Assasins Creed Origins at stock......GPU was pulling about 75 to 78W average......around 87W max/peak.
      Now when gaming it pulls about 52W to 55W average (62W is the maximum/peak power I've ever seen now.
      so
      1) Turning my 80W 1060 into a 60W 1060 max-q via a msi afterburner profile.
      2) Undervolting my i7-8750H by -135mv core, -135mv cache, -125mv intel igpu.
      3) And also limiting my CPU from 3.9Ghz to 3.5Ghz with throttlestop when gaming.
      4) Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut repaste.
      When gaming with default fans (never max)....CPU temps stay in the 75 to 78C range.
      GPU stays in the 72 to 77C range.
      The laptop body feels warm, never hot.......and the fans are inaudible with the speakers active.
      All this and I can still play AAA games at high settings 60fps......Thin and light gaming laptops are awesome....but they need tuning and a lot of TLD (Tender Loving Care).

    Hey guys. So I'm looking to purchase a Dell XPS 15 7950 pretty soon. I recently had a Macbook Pro 15 (2013 model), but unfortunately that died on me. I loved the screen of that one to bits - it was gorgeous.
    Unfortunately I have eyes that are kinda sensitive/not that great, but the Macbook was perfect for them.
    I have borrowed a Lenovo V330 in the interim and I can't stand the quality of the screen. I don't know if it's the contrast or the colours, but it's unbearable for me - I can't go more than ten minutes without a headache forming, and for my job I'm on it all day.
    However, the Lenovo is a FHD screen, and so is the Dell XPS that I want (I really, really don't want the 4K - out of my price range and reflection/glossy issues).
    So my question is, is the FHD screen of the Dell XPS very good? Are the colours decent, the black levels crisp? You can tell I'm not a techy as any correct terminology is beyond me xD I just don't want to spend out a whole bunch of money only for the screen to be as bad as the Lenovo I'm using.
    I'd really appreciate some advice! Thank you all! :D
