Hi guys, I know my laptop is a Dell Precision 7740 but this post helped me understand the issues that are somewhat shared issue with Dell Laptops. (I got a refurbished unit)
My Dell Precision 7740 Specs:
i7-9750H
RTX 4000 Quadro
I had it repasted with PTM 7950 and I still get the result of 100c peak temps even with numerous heat cycles for the PTM 7950 however I was able to reduce it down to 92c peak by using a guide from "askthemanager" website by editing the power plan's cpu performance limits. His guide states that it worked for his Inspiron by setting the limit to 85%, for my 7740, I set it to 95%.
The 92c doesn't stay long since once the 7740's fans kicked in, it drops to below 70c. I noticed that after repasting with PTM 7950 and performing heat cycles, there's noticeable decrease in heat, noise and fan usage.
