Run LatencyMon. Go to the Drivers tab. Sort it by "highest execution". After you experience one of these stutters, see which one is at the top of the list. (All drivers should finish their work in less than 1ms, so ideally you wouldn't see anything over 1ms. However, anything over a low single digit milliseconds is especially bad and can lead to audio and system stutters.) Does anyone have one of these systems who is not experiencing problems with it? This sounds even worse than what I was experiencing with the Precision 7770. (Combined issues from Dell, Intel, NVIDIA, and Microsoft on that system is what forced me to rethink what ecosystem I am even using...)

Yeah we certainly will not get as much choice as Koreans. I guess they will put the best sellers from Korea on intl market if the processors are available. I guess X7 will be more about availability Vs want. I don't think 2025 with Aerominum exist, the feeling is very different. But you can easily tell on the edge of the screen. Is it aluminium there or magnesium? The new model has an aluminium strip there. But yeah it's likely possible to just upgrade any old pro and change to the new Aerominum by waiting till the case shows up as replacement. I think the pro has been stiffer Vs non pro. But it's again a pretty major increase in battery life, much more performance Vs any previous gram in case of the x7 (all others much less) and GPU performance for the X7 only that rivals the previous dedicated models... But yeah apart from the X7 model the changes are much smaller.

Good to know that it's possible!

I think the reality will probably be somewhere in the middle. Even acknowledging the threat to my own field (been in software engineering and infra for 35 years) I see the benefit from a tool to be used perspective as much as I'd rather it didn't exist. Just like a lot of things, moneyed interests in its existence will cause the tool to be abused and allowed to flourish unchecked to the point that it's a major detriment to our society.

seen another 16GB kit on ebay... but the seller want 500 bucks for it 🤯 its double price of DDR5 😶 n atm im looking for a 32GB kit of DDR4 3200 C20, for my 7720 i just got for cheap... 😄 glad they r not rare like the DDR3 2133 ones 😄

taking you for a full circle 360 degree ride, wasting your time and money, just to leave you exactly where you started is not a solution im sorry, we call this a bunch of BS so other people can justify the poor job they are doing! do not close the ticket as resolved, you raised this ticket specifically for the WHEA errors and is the reason they sent the tech to replace your board with another faulty one in the first place, the errors did not go away, since you followed their protocol and issues still persists next step is a new system or refund your money. over here we have whats called the "Lemon Law" for the car industry, that should cover appliances now days not just cars. its a waste of your time they should now pay for since they feel its their to squander freely with... lets throw a tech visit to shut this case up, just shameful conduct across the board, you should escalate this to Dell corporate USA, and also inform the supervisor you are so he can have a good night sleep.

I’ll have to try that and see if less sticks pushes the C value up. Using memtest and other programs reports 1600 when they are “meant” to be 1866, but as called out earlier in chat the “fakey” hyperx underperform. well done if you got the genuine 2133 stuff I’ve been hunting for a while, only seen the odd stick of 1866

"I do feel this one is the biggest update since 2021" Not really, the case looks EXACTLY the same with my 2025 Pro model, which is the same as the 2024 model. The dual fan cooling with the fans split apart was also applied in the 2024, with apparently an improvement of the fans in the 2026 model. The Aerominum probably provides a stiffer case, but already my 2025 feels a bit stiffer than my 2023 which was very similar to the 2021. If I understood right in the previous video posted, it could be that my laptop had already Aerominum applied without LG making a big announcement, or it is just the case design that is better. Panther Lake undoubtedly brings a huge improvement if you need good graphics (video editing) and you can even play games on it. Before you could only do it with the RTX models and definitely not on battery. But if you don't need to to do video work on battery, the Arrow Lake versions are just 10% slower in CPU performance and are also pretty efficient in battery. The screen options are exactly the same, the trackpad always the same glass one, the ports, the same, no Thunderbolt 5, the battery sizes the same. So, no, I consider it typical of LG, a small evolution, not a massive improvement. EDIT: Last year the mix between processors and OLED and IPS was pretty mixed, Lunar Lake with IPS, ArrowLake with OLED, Pro with ArrowLake and RTX5050 with IPS, so we don't know of this year's configurations. Even at the launch last year they announced only a 17in with RTX5050 like this year and in the end they also offered a 16in one...

What parts did they replace? I'm also getting tired of this machine. I've been experiencing the following issues: 1- The machine freezes for a split second every few minutes. When audio is playing at the same time, it also makes a buzzing noise through the speakers when it freezes/stutters for the split second. 2- When pushing the machine hard (doing rendering work), it freezes/stutters more often, to the point that it sounds like a popping/crackling noise coming from the speakers. 3. Every now and then when rendering, the machine would crash, forcing a restart. Dell has replaced the speakers and system board twice. I also believe it's a platform problem.

Garfunkel and Oates - F you Because I really love Kate Micucci and Weird Al is the best

I attempted to overclock my laptop twice outside and within minutes, had to scurry back into the house. My fingers man! Early morning (around 4am EST when I awake), the temp is between 2 to 4F (-16C) for the past week, not including wind chill. The kind of cold that just inundates you, but man do I love it. I guess that is why I earned the cheeky nickname, Ice Bear, from my family. I love the first few hours after a snow storm, everything is covered and it is super quiet. I'll have some 3Dmark benches from my laptop and perhaps the 14900KS/9070XT combo later.

first u have to minimalize the problem. to do so, put an usb flashdrive with a led indicator and put in ur laptop. if it blink, then cpu ram combo are ok, otherwise problem is cpu-ram bios related. only after u have a blinking flash drive u can check if it is a vga problem. caps lock not blinking can also indicate a bad pch or bad cpu ram bios .

Hello, The technician was here yesterday and has replaced the parts. So far: The temperatures are sort of better now, laptop is finally idling at around 50-75 degrees during the basic browser work. During heavy load it will still go to 106-109°C, but at least it's doing something. I have not encountered BSODs yet, but I guess it is too soon to call it fixed, we will see. WHEA and ACPI Errors of the are still present after each reboot. The right front side of the palmrest, the area around the fingerprint reader, now depresses with a click each time I rest my hand on it. It is annoying. The problem with the throttle state lock is still present, which is very serious as it limits the machine very much. It is mostly present when CPU and GPU are both loaded simultaneously, like in games. After 10-15 minutes the laptop enters sort of a throttle state, where it locks CPU to 20-25W of power with very low clock, and does not come back, the only solution is to disconnect and reconnect the charger. This happens regardless if the laptop is connected to the main charger, or to the docking station. Having to do this several times per hour is simply annoying and unbearable for such a machine, without even considering the impact it has on the durability of the USB-C connector. It clearly looks like a platform problem. I'll raise you a question - what do we do now? Because I am getting really tired of this machine.

Ok this is what's happening as an example happily gaming and about 10 minutes or less in, game will hang and then the GPU memory etc becomes greyed out, temps never hit max got custom fan curve running, I can only put this down to power draw

Thanks for posting your results. I’ve now run Cinebench R23 multiple times, and the highest score I can achieve is 30,054, which is significantly lower than what others with the same spec are reporting. However, in Cinebench 2024 my score is 1,925, which does align with results I’ve seen online. It’s strange that only the R23 scores are coming in so much lower. My specs are: Intel 285HX 64gb CSODIMM Blackwell RTX 4000

I had picked this up to change the LCD over with ?

Hello. You need the eDP 3D cable for that. LVDS one won't work for eDP because different lines. The eDP only works in dGPU. RTX Turing on M17X R4 in eDP doesn't work for me so I don't think you can go that far... 😕

When I had mine, Yes I had thermal pads on them.

Yes, it's the 60hz screen currently I have a new panel but haven't fitted it yet it's a 2k 165hz panel with the 40 pin connector for the edp connector 17.3 inch, I just haven't felt brave enough to get the glass off the original LCD panel yet. If I run throttle stop and a custom fan curve it's not running bad to be fair, I believe the bigger culprit causing issues in games is asynchronous on dx12 causing the system to crash on games such as dying light 2

The most logical path considering they want that memory for AI which is much more lucrative but they can't just flat out put a full on "pause" on their consumer section but they sure can clamp it to a trickle... If there was ever a time for the 5070ti on down crowd to switch to AMD, it is now..... It is brutally cold (relatively speaking) for us right now coming off of that snow storm which just left everything frozen over. Right now it is a balmy 4f (~ -16c) here.... When I was younger, I loved the cold and looked forward to it. Now? I can see why people move to warmer, more even tempered states. Stock has either dried up and/or baseline prices are getting a bit slap happy. Lowest prices on part picker: PNY 5070ti = 969.35 Asus Prime 5080 = $1364.99 Gigabyte Aorus Stealth Ice 5090 = $3579.98 Gigabyte Gaming 9070xt = $719.99 So glad I snagged that Red Devil earlier this month for $683 ($879.98 on PPC) and Vanguard 5090 $1971 (Basically Unobtanium status) back in August from Microcenter. That Vengeance 2x24GB 9200 kit I managed to snag in December for $389 is now $969.99 I picked up a couple of Samsung 9100 Pro 1TB drives w/ heatsinks when I saw the writing on the wall for ~$149.99. They are now $229.99 Luckily, CPUs, Motherboards, cases, PSUs are suffering the most in the pricing downturn and their prices have stayed the same or fallen a tad. Anyone looking to build out in the US, Microcenter bundle deals are just crazy good value atm. CPU, Motherboard and DDR5 memory in many configs and priced fairly even before the Ramapocalypse.... I'm set for hardware now till Nova and even then I will just need a MB and CPU..... Good call not waffling..... Unfortunately the big players will take the hit on the books and pass it along to us in the long run. The Googles and Microsofts will just keep it moving. AMD will take a minor chip on the chin. Hardest hit will be AI focused entities and Nvidia. I look to the day Nvidia has to come to us on bent knee, hat in hand, tail firmly tucked between their legs asking for our forgiveness.... I will never use any Micron consumer products again even if they fire back up the Crucial brand post AIB (AI Bust).

Do the ones highlighted in yellow require thermal pads? Thanks
