I'm using the evoc porter. the 7670 fits just perfect in the paded insert. i need e backpack that is good for biking...

i did not manage to make one big Raid out of 3 SSDs and install win on it. in the end i used one SSD as windows drive and have a Raid of 2 SSDs for Data. i could install win on a 3 SSD Raid, but it would not boot after install. (tried really everything and used 2 days ..)

chilled air wouldn't do much. the bottleneck is the path from the core to air. i guess you will need 20° K lower ambient temp to get 3-5°C less CPU temperature.

That... my 7670 ist speced at maximum with A5500 and i9 an it was pretty clear to me that this thing will not work at 300W. maybe boost for some seconds, but you can't get so much heat out of this chassis. I have to admit - the cooling is even worse then i thought. But this thing is still the best solution for me at the moment. @Aaron44126 - yes the happy black and amber Display times... when you could se where your cursor had been 10 seconds ago 🙂

mine work with 40Gbit/s (ORICO M2V02 case with samsung 980 pro) absolut perfectly. i'm using the Dell Tool to keep the drivers up to date.

the power supply is rated 240W / 19,5V*12,31A if you use a powermeter on the Wall it's up to 300W and more. i testet an old bigger Dell 240W power supply for a docking station - efficiency factor was about 0,82 at full load.

i did. the custom variables stayed the same. no Problems so far

i think you're right. so twice as fast as thunderbold...

thunderbold 4 = 4 PCI-Express-3.0-Lanes (= 32 Gbit/s) you could also use the SSD door and the M2 slot - also 4 x PCIe3 a 4090 would not make any sense. But something like a 2080 is not very limited with this.

The USB Rule is not exclusive for Phones, its for all "portable" devices. So yes - it also applies for Notebooks. If it is able to be charged with a plug - it has to be possible to charge it with usb-c. But you can also fit a connector like Dell. And ! it only has to be able to be charged with USB. If you need a cable to run it, it could be anything. And not to be confused... it only affects charging. You can use whatever you want for Data connections. (USB data standards and labels are a hole other story... at least they start to label it with 5gb/s ... 80 gb/s) So Dell is already prepared. because we can charge the batterie with USB-C I do have a 240W USB-C Cable and 140W charger and allready tried it... the 7670 only uses 100W. So its not 240W ready.

yeah, the 5V Version is a perfect USB fan. i have a box of these... they go down to 400rpm and are also extrem quiet. https://noctua.at/en/nf-a14-industrialppc-2000-ip67-pwm but the 20cm is a good idea...

no time 🙂 tried it now with the dell optimal profile 2 times 10 min. Ambient is 19°C. 16800 and 17500. If someone would sell a better aftermarket cooler - i would buy it 🙂 i will 3d print a stand and put a 14cm fan under it. but that is not going to solve anything.

thanks for the help with the tweaks... i did the loadline cal. and used -125mV on the main core with IccMax 255.75 -75mV on P cache with IccMax 255.75 -75mV on E cache all cores 5.0 GHz did a repaste with MX4 The CPU max is 109 Watts, Temps still 100°C when benching. (using the cold profile in Dell software) i'am at 18650 in Cinebench now (6min). still not where it could be with a proper cooling, but ok for now. again thanks to all the nerds that try to tweak everything insted of having a life 😁

it realy nails it. i repasted my 7670 now. did not change anything. same temperature same throtteling. also the heatpipe has a lot of scratches... how ? why ? i have to say this thing is bit of a dissapointment.

i would say i got what i expected. It really is very glossy, much more then i was used to. it is not as bright as my samsung tab s8 ultra. For indoor use its ok. outdoor not so much. for me it still is the best display Dell offers
