Hi All!
Absolute newbie here from Central Europe, and the first purchese of 7770 today. First one in Centreal Europe Region...
At a glance: Im need a top 3D notebook, because im work in entertainment industry on fly...
So i look out what if capable and portable for my needs... after many rounds im landed in Dell Precision Workstaions. When i first try to order one... i have some issues... avaibility, order, etc... half year later when i fond a real solution in Hungary, i ordered something (at this moment im really sceptycal what they offer) and this time is the 7770.
And i get it today 🙂
For the record:
"Out of the box" : get it out, start to install factory default win 10 pro... Its very hot! F*cking hot in the front... Im cheking the back vent, and... im burned my skin to there.. im not happy...
After win 10 install, first i go to the dell net support, and see my bios is 1.3.2, and "urgent" to upgrade to 1.7.1.
OK, lets go...
My purchase is: Dell 7770, I9-12950HX, 64Gb (SoDIMM 2x32Gb dual ch) RAM, A4500 videocard.
After that refresh (25 min), win start again, looks like thermals in a normal range.. Waaaay cooler the chassis in the front, before that.
Next step. Check for updates... oooo, f*ck, i need a beer. some "urgent" updates, khmm... 4.2 GB to download. Ok lets do.
Or not. Im checking, some hardware ones first, some restarts, do again, one before last 810Mb Intel UHD, and after restart Nvidia 830Mb... i think in my past always scores from the little to bigger line...
Ok. After that - because i read all of this thread - i m downloaded only the CineBench R23. First time in my life, im benching 🙂
10 min test scores are:
CPU (Multi core): 15602
CPU (Single Core): 1890
Im taking pictures with my phone, but its a steril install, i dont know yet how to transfer here.
Is it normal to no CPU/dGPU activity during the test - wia win task manager?
Is it good? I cant open the frame, the professionals who changes my memory sticks, cant remember which fans in, or what they see, and cant remember any thermal pads, stickers or so...
Im only the user, i can plan, vizualize, organize and build steel structures, stages, for a wedding to a complex 30k+ festival, but i cant have that fine moods to open a laptop. Im have a fear about brake something....
So i have a next few days a really free "virgin" win 10 pro. If in this thread anybody want to test something, to help our users community contact me! At this moment i have maybe 10 days window to not to install anything, dont start tu use that laptop for what i need for. Pls be gentle.
thx
