I'm replacing the GPU on my desktop machine. It is also portable to carry out with an x86 tablet.

I repurposed my extra DGFF GPU as an external GPU. It works perfectly.

If you consult the motherboard schematic, you will notice that the OLED display control signals originate from both the TouchScreen/IR connector and the eDP connector. You will require a compatible screen cable to connect to your OLED component.

I just discovered that the 7680 has the ability to auto-rotate the screen. What's the purpose of that?

It is hard to tell, but there is some degradation in multithreaded performance in R23. It used to be 30K Now:

Just updated to BIOS v1.15, Dell has updated the CPU microcode to 129h to avoid BSOD issues in 13th/14th Gen CPUs. Not much change in multithreaded performance, but the maximum CPU voltage is now capped at 1.5v.

That is abnormal, my fingerprint sensor works well in Linux

No. it won't change

https://press.hp.com/us/en/press-releases/2024/hp-unveils-largest-portfolio-ai-pc.html HP refreshed their ZBook line. That's so funny, they keep both 13th and 14th-gen HX. 13th Gen Intel Core (with vPro) or 14th Gen Intel Core (non vPro)

Most likely not. It can be said with certainty that Lenovo won't update their P16, and the P16 Gen 2 will be an SKU lasting 2 years.

I heard from a reliable source that there will be no ThinkPad P16 Gen3 this year due to the lack of the vPRO HX CPU product line. Probably, this may also apply to Dell and HP workstation lines. Not surprised at all, Both Nvidia and Intel didn't refresh their products this year.

Just flashed RTX3500ada vBIOS extracted from 7780 to 7680, i got the GPU boosted to instantaneous 160Watt and the total power consumption is 280Watt using the AW GaN 330w brick.😃

Yes, but the core temperature mapping is different now, core 0, and 1 are not that hot. The cores in centre (5, 6, 7 and two clusters of E-cores) have higher temperature than two sides. Still, the heatsink has problem and I am asking dell to replace another one for me.

I have replaced the heatsink assembly, but nothing improved.

OK, yeah, it pretended to be undervolted. My bad, it did nothing in fact.

Of course, just enable the overclocking option using grub.

Let's see

I have done the repaste, but sadly, nothing improved. When I opened up the heatsink, the paste is not spread evenly, and the upper part is core 1,3,5,7, which can explain the problem I am facing now. Should I ask Dell support to send me a heatsink replacement?

High temp P-core: 1 3 5 7 High temp E-core: 12 13 14 15 | 20 21 22 23 4 E-cores for 1 cluster Looks like one side of Die is not fully contacted with the heatsink. So, maybe the pressure of heatsink is not balanced?

Short term workload: Long term workload: (reaching 77W:)

1. Yes, indeed, it's with PTM 7950. 2. directly on the table with 2 bottle caps in between. 3. Room temperature is ~22 celsius degree 4. CPU workload is very low before I started the benchmark. I will check the core temperature later, and update it here. Even without too much change in cooling design compared with Precision 7670, the thermal performance is much worse than 7670. Precision 7670 can have the peak watt at ~157W and keep for a few secs.

Good news here: 48GB*2 5600MHz SODIMM works pretty well on 7680 (running @5200Mhz bcz dual channel)

I have fresh installed Windows 10 LTSC on it. Peak CPU power is still not what I expected, but benchmark somehow increases: CPU-Z single core score is pretty high, is it normal? (The CPU voltage is set correctly by DELL?) CB R23: CPU-Z: With CPU voltage offset(-0.125v): 3D Mark TimeSpy:

Yea, that's also what I am concern about, when it's 77W, it stabilized at ~90 degrees

I just received my Precision 7680, it shows an extremely poor performance with thermal throttling. Configuration: - i9-13950HX - RTX 3500Ada I don't know if it's in a similar case as what we saw on Precision 7x70 before. I do replace the thermal paste with Honeywell 7950 thermal pad for both CPU and GPU die. - CPU throttled at ~110W (100 Celsius degree) - CPU idle temp at 70 Celsius degree. Anyone is facing a similar issue? CPU-Z looks like: Temp and package watt looks like when running CB R23 benchmark: CB R23 score:
