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.
 


Hi

Can you mention the power limits for the precision 5680 under full CPU load?

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.

- 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.

What is your GPU?

 

Could you check the max TGP entered in the Nvidia control panel?

a2000, and it's 95W.

When testing benchmarks it seems to use about 80-90W and about 40-50W CPU (when using the GPU)

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?

It is likely that your battery will be heavily drained, even plugged in, with the 130W charger.

Interesting that these limits are well above the limits of the XPS 17 (9730) where the GPU is limited to 60/70W and the limit on CPU+GPU cross-loads is something like 90/95W.

 

Probably the options with stronger GPUs have a little higher TGP...maybe something between 110 and 130W.

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.

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.

With around (75+75)W on the CPU and GPU both reach thermal limits.

 

This will drain the battery even with the 165W charger... have you tested with WD19DC and verified if the system can pull more than the 165W of the original adapter?

 

By dell thermal paste application history this 5680 seems to have a good potential after a repaste, even more in the versions with vapor chamber!

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.

If the system receives the maximum of 165W it would be a disappointment...

 

@Dell-Mano_G reported some time ago that the 5680 could benefit from the higher load using WD19DC.

 

Maybe only on the stronger GPU options...

Does it mean the system can accept power up to 210w with the WD19DC plugged in?

 

My 5760/5770 meet battery drainage when the system has a high workload, good to know Dell tried to improve the power option for the 5000 series.

Yes the 5680 can accept the power, and take advantage of it under heavy loads.

Unfortunately not I have a 5680 with RTX 3500 I believe the vapour chamber is reserved for the RTX 5000 only. Performance for a GPU compute task using NVIDIA iRay was about 10% less than in the Precision 7680 with the same card so not too bad for the smaller chassis. 

 

No difference for me with the WD19DCS

What is the weight of your laptop? In the youtube review linked above the RTX 5000 model weighs 2.318kg. I'm curious how much more the vapor chamber weighs.

Hi all,

 

Good news for me today, Dell just informed me that given the problems I'm having with my Precision 7770 and the disastrous order process for this model, they were going to exchange it for a new 7780.

 

Old config:

Intel i9-12950HX (30 Mo de mémoire cache, 16 coeurs, 24 threads, 2,3 GHz à 5,0 GHz, vPro)

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, 16 GB GDDR61 x 32 Go non ECC 4 800 MHz DDR5 module CAMM

1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe Gen 4 2280 SSD
17"" UHD 3840x2160 WLED
Intel AX211 Wi-Fi 6/6E 2x2 WLAN with Bluetooth 5.2
Rear cover SSD cover, smart card reader slot
Keyboard French (Europe) backlit keyboard with numeric keypad, 100 keys
Contact smart card reader, NFC reader, fingerprint reader without FIPS certification
Main Battery 6-cell, 93Wh long-life lithium-ion polymer battery, 3-year warranty

 

New config :

Intel Core i9-13950HX vPro (36MB cache, 24 cores, 32 threads, up to 5.5GHz Turbo, 55W)
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, 16GB GDDR6 memory
1x32GB 5600MT/s CAMM, non-ECC
1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe Gen 4 2280 SSD
17"" UHD 3840x2160 WLED
FHD/IR Webcam, ExpressSign-In, Intelligent Privacy
Intel AX211 Wi-Fi 6/6E 2x2 WLAN with Bluetooth 5.3
Rear cover SSD cover, smart card reader slot
Keyboard French (Europe) backlit keyboard with numeric keypad, 100 keys
Contact smart card reader, NFC reader, fingerprint reader without FIPS certification
Main Battery 6-cell, 93Wh long-life lithium-ion polymer battery, 3-year warranty

 

Remains to hope that this model will make people forget the catastrophic launch of the 7770

начиная с Precision 7X70, вам следует выбирать между CAMM (до 128 ГБ, но без ECC) или SODIMM (доступен ECC, но только два модуля, поэтому максимум 64 ГБ).).).

 

Ходят слухи, что JEDEC «благословляет» CAMM как замену SODIMM, поэтому мы, вероятно, увидим, что другие производители примут его на вооружение. Надеемся, что в ближайшие несколько лет можно будет найти модули из других источников (по разумной цене).)..

In addition to soDIMM DDR5 32*2=64, there is also soDIMM DDR.5 48*2=96

@Mambucho how satisfied are you with your 7680 when it comes to battery runtime and noise/fan activity during different load types?

The battery capacity is 93 watt-amperes, it works for about 2 hours, like all the others. You should not count on long-term operation, the battery for the workstation will most likely be needed as a backup battery if there is suddenly no electricity. Regarding the fan noise, at first there was a little more noise than now, I replaced the thermal paste with MX-4 (very poorly applied thermal paste to the GPU at the factory), fixed the factory defect thermal padding  (see photo). I have a 7680 late version (September 2023), the engineers added a radiator over the 13850 processor...the cooling tubes were incorrectly installed to the RTX ....GPU (uneven, skewed).

 

I'll post a screenshot of the benchmark test

the cooling tubes were incorrectly connected to the RTX GPU (uneven, skewed). Due to the fact that the thermal paste and tubes were poorly stacked, the sensors in the AIDA64 showed a temperature of only 15 cores instead of 20. Now it shows 20 cores
