Hi I have a new 5690 system with only integrated graphics. I don't need Nvidia, no need to pay extra and the new ARC seems okay for general tasks. Here is the funny thing, when you get the system with only integrated graphics, it has a smaller heatsink and fans. I can't do anything about the heatsink because that would probably require a GPU under it. But I can swap the fans if I like as I have access to the "bigger" fans from a 5680 Do you see anything in these two pictures that would tell you using the bigger fans would be a bad idea? Thanks 🙂

7680 + 5680 uses the same 1920x1200 IPS panel, but the 4K is OLED I belive yes.

Not yet, but in BIOS it does say 165W with WD19DCS plugged in, so I suspect it will get 165W max. Might be a good idea. I unfortunetly don't have the vapor champer, seems to be reserved for RTX 3500 Ada or higher. I will be at the office Friday, then I will check the total watt from the PSU with a wattmeter.

Another fun question. Any idea WTF Prestos3 is from BIOS? Google is no help.

Okay, I will have to eat my own words 😄 It will drain a little, I think it drained about 5-8% in a 30 min CPU+GPU AIDA64 stresstest with CPU+GPU pulling over 150W at times. After 30 mins it got too hot and went back to something like 30W CPU + 65W GPU and the drain stopped. So I don't think it's an issue for really, since after intel boost is done it will go to max 55W CPU, and will eventually get too hot from CPU+GPU at the same time. So I'm happy with the result and will keep using WD22TBS as I find it more convenient compared to WD19DCS.

So really only a problem if I run CPU + GPU at the same time, which I never do.. I will try a 60 min CPU + GPU AIDA64 benchmark tomorrow at 130W and see if it drains. If the higher GPUs have 20-30W higher than RTX 2000 Ada, then it makes sense I can run the 130W no problem.. I think.. I will see after drain test tomorrow, but I have a feeling it won't drain at all.

Fun question about 5680: The laptop comes with Nvidia RTX 2000 Ada and a 165W USB-C charger. If I plug in 130W dock (WD22TBS) or just 130W USB-C from 5570, it all works fine. I can't even see a performance difference in benchmarks. Windows even says everything is fine - normally it will complain if I plug something like 90W in. Is it possible 130W is enough for a RTX 2000 Ada + i9-13900H? and 165W is just for RTX 3500+ ? I can run CPU + GPU at the same time with 130W and pull about 130-140W according to HWMonitor from CPU + GPU alone, and seems to be the same with 165W, but i don't have my wattmeter yet. Friday I will get some Wattmeter's delivered to measure total watts from power supply during benchmark with 130 + 165W. But my feeling is 130W is acutally okay?

a2000, and it's 95W. When testing benchmarks it seems to use about 80-90W and about 40-50W CPU (when using the GPU)

After turbo boost, it seems to be 45W on balanced and 55-60W on ultimate performance. 18-19K in C23, so it seems it can cool the chip just fine.

Just got the first Precision 5680 delivered. It's actually pretty nice. Performance is very good for i9 (13900H) 45W CPU (it can boost quite high) and it's usually quiet and cool, compared to 7680. - Screen (FHD) is the same as 7680's FHD screen. - Keyboard is more like Precision 5570 than 7680, which is okay for me. - Touchpad is haptic like a MacBook. Will take some getting used to, but so far it's good. Still need to test speakers etc. It's a good in between device for me (sysadmin) where 7680 was a big heavy and 3580 was not powerful enough.

Thank you. I figured it would be something like this, just wanted to make sure my RAM was operating like it is supposed to, maybe DELL had no idea.

Does anyone have 64GB of CAMM memory? I just switched from 32 to 64GB and speep went from 5600 to 5200 MHz. Dell is trying to figure it out and will return with a reply. Just wondering if those that have 64GB are seeing the same speed?

Precision 7670: Anyone know why the screen part of the laptop is so thick? Not a problem, simply curious what is in there besides the panel?

I often shut it down, but some times I will just let it s0 sleep. 0-sleep is buggy, but it works in my case if: I run with balanced power mode (no max performance, then it seems to not go to sleep) s0 is set to network disconnected. There is a group policy setting for this. C:\Users\jak>powercfg -a The following sleep states are available on this system: Standby (S0 Low Power Idle) Network Disconnected Hibernate

I guess that's because in BIOIS there are no power profiles etc. - It might be running at full clock with Nvidia GPU etc.. This is the case for most laptops I belive? I know my wife's little MacBook does the same when installing updates. Anyway, for my 7680, when in Windows, when running on balanced/Optimized setting it will be pretty cool and low noise when not running benchmarks. If I set it to ultimate performance profile (in Windows and Dell Optimizer/BIOS) it will get hot and loud very quickly even when idling.
