    I completely agree. Most industries are moving in this direction as a way to reduce costs. My main concern right now is that this expensive machine is proving frustrating to use for video and audio editing. I could ask Dell to replace it with a lower-spec model from a different product range, but that would mean compromising on performance and potentially ending up with the same issues, given that this seems to be a widespread problem.

    Because it's not compatible with the Clevo software. Maybe it has a whitelist on the software? Or just simply not compatible. I never tried to upgrade the Wi-Fi because my own ISP is like 250MBit/s Also you can upgrade to an RTX 4080/4090 if you want, I have the cables and the heatsink.

    Hello, not really on topic, but I don't know where else to ask. I wanted to upgrade the wifi card on my P570WM to 6E. Even though the card gets recognized in device manager, I can't turn the wifi on as the button is greyed out. The wifi now also won't work anymore if I put the old card back it. I basically tried everything like driver reinstall, cmd commands, uninstalling the card in device manager, network reset, complete windows reinstall but the card still won't work... Any suggestion? Thanks

    Hello. Since I am only collecting Dell Precision laptops (M6300, M6400, M6700, 7720, 7780). I would like to sell this Alienware M18X R2 laptop that I don't use anymore. I already have a Clevo P570WM3 eDP version which is the same generation as this one. Specs: CPU: I7 3840QM or i7 3940XM RAM: 32GB DDR3 1866MHz Storage: No SSD + 1TB HDD Screen: LVDS 1080p 60Hz Body: Magnesium and plastic GPU: Quadro P3000 6GB MXM or P5200M 16GB? (Could be upgraded to an Quadro RTX 5000 or RTX 3070 MXM, I don't recommend anything above because of Intel HD bottlenecking and limiting frame rates). Motherboard and keyboard are refurbished, bought them very recently. Cleaned the inside of the fans and heatsinks. SLI 100W heatsinks and SLI cables are included. Everything works. RGB works. Battery works with 28% wear and tear level. No AC included. Recommended AC 240W or 330W for 150W GPUs Good state, no sticky palmrest. The feet of the bottom panel are coming off due to aging... Shipping to EU thru UPS or Colissimo and worldwide thru FEDEX Price: ??? Tell me but never below 500€ If someone has a M6800 eDP that works with HP RTX cards, I'm interested.

    First LAN using Legion 5 laptops, 11 of them for this LAN. After a sad goodbye to the old HP 8570W Elitebooks. Had planned to upgrade all of them to 32GB RAM but due to current prices could we only afford extra NVME drives, 500GB for OS and 1000GB for STEAM libery. First day are planned for Minecraft AI Monster Apocalypse, second day for PropHunt and Horror games, including private testing of "PoolTime" a multiplayer PoppyPlaytime prequel. Excited to see how the Legion 5's compare to the Elitebooks.

    this is not an analog grounding case, analog isolation in this context is referring to the circuit design with no relation to "ground" in this spesific context. Dell relies heavily on Intel Dynamic Platform & Thermal Framework (DPTF). Power mode changes trigger firmware level policy changes, not just windows settings. these transitions are abrupt by design to meet thermal and battery targets. this is common on Dell (not so much with other brands) due to tighter power envelopes, Less analog isolation on modern, compact boards. emphasis on efficiency over electrical quietness, older, systems masked this better with larger inductors, heavier grounding, and more conservative power transitions.

    If it's happening even on a Bluetooth device that is connected, that's not an analog/grounding issue. The Bluetooth audio chain is all digital until it gets to your actual external speakers/headset, which wouldn't be physically connected to the laptop. I'm glad that they dumped Realtek as the sound chip manufacturer, I never liked them, but I don't know if Cirrus is any better. In any case, I agree that this buzzing is unacceptable. Again, if the buzzing is observed even over Bluetooth audio, that points more to a software / audio stack issue. The first thing that I would check is make my way to the "legacy" Sound control panel and disable "audio enhancements" for your sound output device. Dell has been known to include a stack of audio "enhancements" with the "Dell Optimizer" package which have also always been undesirable to me.

    Merry Xmas and happy holidays to all! It bit funny and ironic we just talked about your adventures with Best Buy.....good luck! Two observations on the yellow tip again: If it were black, you wouldn't be able to see even the mild scorch marks. Companies should start including these in white or yellow for clear visibility of scorching. I still suspect there are plenty of black connectors out there already with scorch marks. You just can't see them. The bottom row strikes again with the weaker, [ ] design which I posit is susceptible to physical stress and speeds up the cycle as they are heated up and in conjunction with the physical stress are pulled ever so slightly open making them even more susceptible. --- These connectors really should not be physically stressed at all and the weaker the design (like MSI's bottom row array) the more the stress can cause meltdowns in conjunction with migrating imbalance of amps over time for various reasons.

    Merry Christmas to all my extended family in this thread!!! Now, I am in a bit of a dilemma. Bestbuy has the Prime 5070 TI for $749.99, brand new. I just spent that on the "Like New" card from Amazon. I am going to cancel the card from Amazn and begrudgingly buy from Bestbuy. Here goes nothing....

    i agree! my point wasn't to challenge the phenomena just explain the root cause of it so you don't end up chasing windmills. analog Isolation means physically separating two circuits so they don't share electricity or ground which Dell redesign cutbacks and consolidation we seen the past few years is losing modularity in design not adding complexity, hence the circuits designs also getting chopped and consolidated all in name of selling more laptops faster, soon we will pickup laptops like a hotdog from 7-Eleven with same emotions and customization reserved for socks.
  21. Tiki Thorsen started following Nahimic 3 UAD Modified Driver for Unsupported MSI Hardware
  22. Tiki Thorsen
    Hello, as an alternative to Nahimic I recommend EqualizerAPO with Peace GUI, IF all you need is just equalization. Is like using Wavelet for Android, it has the data base of the "AutoEQ", is specially good for headphones, but you can have multiple devices profiles, such as speakers. I have been using it both software as a Nahimic replacement for about a week with no drawbacks. The AutoEQ profiles are worth any loss in features.
  23. SvenC
    Did you check if disabling Intel SpeedStep fixes those intermittend noises? Maybe that cirrus driver "only" runs into trouble in some or all cases if ACPI stuff happens to save some power?
  24. kela-slk
    - Yes - Yes - no manualy change fan profile. default - usually entertaiment, but often silent (because i dont want hear this noise ))) ) - win 11
  25. yslalan
    Just have a double check, even Bluetooth audio has that unexpected noise
  26. yslalan
    In the 2025 model, Dell chose Cirrus as the sound card provider, which is uncommon in previous mobile Precision models. I assume that waiting for a firmware update may resolve the issue. Edit: Not really the sound card issue, all sound devices connected to the system have the same behavior
  27. strijrator
    hey @kela-slk thanks again for the reply I want to double check that you are running the 1.07.08TOPC bios and 1.07.04 EC from Origin. I am also assuming that you get all your drivers from the Origin website, right? And you have tried manually changing the fan profile in the control center without using the default fan profiles? Which power profile do you use (performance or entertainment). Also are you using windows 10 or windows 11?
  28. Mr. Fox
    Yes, he is smart. But, thinking that raises questions about his ability to think clearly. Only a small number of people with misinformed bias think such things.
  29. MELOCODI
    I advise everyone to NOT get i7 4980HQ, as impressive as this CPU looks with it is monstrous L4 Cache it is not worth the risk, it will either die on it's own or you will kill it with an excessive mounting pressure as it has a higher profile than stock rPGA946b CPUs.
  30. MELOCODI
    Well, my i7 4980HQ is dead, it is the second one that died on me, this one lasted for a year and I mean exactly a year 23.12.24 - 23.12.25. I don't know what to do now as it is my only one + there is no way to access PC right now so...
