1.5 still seems high, what was the limit before? I would assume enabling undervolt would make much more sense...

If I wanted to go 128gb ram on my 7780, would the only option be this camm module? https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-camm-memory-upgrade-128-gb-ddr5-3600-mt-s-not-interchangeable-with-sodimm/apd/370-ahfr/memory Is there a more reasonably priced alternative? considering a 96gb kit of sodimm memories costs close to 300usd, the difference doesn't seem worth it, specially with the mhz downgrade. I don't intend to do it, I'm just researching

Hello, I want to install the command app available for download directly from Dell when you select Ubuntu as OS, the goal is to be able to switch between different thermal profiles as I do on Windows

anyone using linux? trying to install the dell command app and not sure how to approach it, I'm on Zorin os 17, basically ubuntu

Also true, been a long time since I forgot about them really

7780 with 13950hx here, I'm fairly content with the laptop. Essentially, every laptop with this kind of (intel) CPU will reach 100c, the thing is how high they can clock while doing it. I had to replace the thermal paste with ptm7950, but I feel comfortable working the whole day with this one, it feels robust, high quality, I wish it had a vapor chamber and a 330w charger though, specially for this kind of price.

Well, things happened... I originally bought a discounted x15 r2 for around 2k usd(12900h, 3070 ti), the thing needed to be repaired so much that when I asked dell for a replacement they eventually agreed to it, I got a maxed out 7780 (13950hx, 4090, 4k 120hz) out of it, and don't get me wrong, the thing is a great upgrade and feels much better quality, but since it has a smaller wattage than gaming laptops and doesn't allow undervolt, now im just wondering if I should sell it and get a gaming laptop, I have the same reasons you mentioned even, better cooling, more wattage, undervolt and cheaper. That's why I wanted to know if there is a more hidden aspect in which a workstation is superior to a gaming laptop, since they are work oriented I suspected they were build to last more, but I'm not sure if that's the case.

So.... Did anyone ever figure out a way to undervolt? another question, did anyone switch from a workstation to a gaming laptop? how do they compare for a work environment? I mean over 8 hours of medium load, are those build to last in those scenarios?

I bought this kit and works at 5200mhz instead of 5600mhz, any ideas? https://a.co/d/8XzYG28 original rams were 5600mhz and no problem

For me is about 4 seconds, but yes, is normal for workstations in general to boot (and shut off) a little slower than general consumer laptops

When using an air-pressured cooling pad like the IETS-GT500/600/626, would there be a benefit in removing this black tape from the base?

For what is worth, this is what I have for the 4090: If possible, I would upgrade to a vapor chamber heatsink though

I don't think is possible to upgrade the GPU after you purchase it

My vram temp is reaching 102c after some minutes gaming, is that normal? 7780/4090 I applied ptm7950 the other day and got great results overall, but didn't check if vram was like this before or I just misplaced something

I understand undervolt is not possible with this laptop, is there any recommendation in the same aspect to do? Like some throttlestop configuration or similar apps, I'm fairly new to this in laptops but I've been doing it for years on desktop, so not entirely unfamiliar with it. 7780 - 13950hx, I already have ptm7950 on the way

Would this kit be compatible (7780)? G.SKILL Ripjaws SO-DIMM 64GB (2 x 32GB) 262-Pin DDR5 SO-DIMM DDR5 5600 (PC5 44800) Laptop Memory Model F5-5600S4040A32GX2-RS - Newegg.com Looking for any option for 64gb 5600 cl40

It was new from Dell's webpage (around 2300 usd total), bought in the US then transferred the warranty to my country, they said for my region the Alienware's stock was limited, this was their first replacement proposal. My experience with the x15 was awful, so I'm happy with the upgrade. The 7780 It's a new build, currently in "Production"

Thanks for the info! that's honestly more than expected by reading the thread, did you repaste? it seems to be that PTM7950 is the current best option, I'll get that one plus the IETS GT500 cooler, it should be a nice general improvement. This is my first Precision, the replacement is for an Alienware x15 r2 (12900h, 3070 ti). my usage is mixed between working and gaming, I like the more professional look too. I did get it with SODIMMs (32gb 5600) so it seems I won't have to buy the adapter, I'll look for the 64gb kit or alternatives, thanks for the tip!

Hey, anyone with a 7780 equipped with a 13950hx or a 4090? I'm being offered that as a replacement, but I can't find any info on how much power they can draw, I want to know how much performance I can expect (I've seen similar in this thread though), if someone has some cinebench r23 results or hwinfo cpu power consumption at full load, I would appreciate it. For the 4090 I would also like to know how much power it can draw, I've seen the Nvidia panel says 145w or 150w, but haven't seen benchmarks or hwinfo showing that sustain consumption yet.
