QUOTE(thankyou @ Oct 24 2017, 02:32 PM) Hi, How's your XPS after 2 months? are you satisfy with the performance? I'll be getting it as company laptop by tomorrow so, just wonder do I need to perform the steps given by you to stabilize the heat issue? If you not into heavy GPU load stuff, just ignore the repaste, I had no wifi issue as my gaming is not really require high latency.What about the Killer WiFi? Any issue? TQ |

QUOTE(thankyou @ Oct 25 2017, 11:30 AM) You mean low latency yah? my bad, yes low latency... I won't be playing much graphic intensive games. Probably would load 1 or 2 i.e. Dota2 or CS:GO. Thanks for the feedback! You always can give the game a try and monitor the GCU/CPU/Ambient temp by HWinfo before decide to repaste... Anyhow Undervolt shall give it a try no matter how... |

QUOTE(thankyou @ Oct 30 2017, 11:49 AM) Had tried playing Dota2 last night. 1st game, everything went fine. No harm to perform UV even not gaming, saving some battery life and lower temp.2nd game, I noticed fps dropped from 60 -> 30 from time-to-time. Quite laggy. CPU logged MAX 80 - 83c GPU logged max 80c too... Guess i need to some undervolt right? temperature is not as bad as some claim 100c... but definitely drop of FPS & lag... |

QUOTE(chamelion @ Feb 23 2018, 08:35 AM) Any XPS15 (9650) users here? Mine don't any issue so far... except throttle during gaming.. Do your xps hv shutter problem? My new XPS15 (i7 7700/8GB/FHD) having some serious shuttering. All drivers (Intel Graphic/Nvidia/Killer Wifi) been updated to latest as per suggested in most website. Tried all setting suggested in first two page from google on this issue. improved but the occassion shutter still there Appreicate if anyone can let me know if u manage to get a shutter free xps15 or this is a common problem... dang.. Last time XPS15 had issue for iGPU but its should alredy fix on latest driver. Maybe you try using DDU for a clean install. http://forum.notebookreview.com/forums/del...tudio-xps.1049/ |

QUOTE(volrath @ Jul 29 2018, 10:58 AM) For XPS 15 9570, is undervolting and repasting thermal almost a must do when we early got it? UV can do in day1, repaste depend... if you feel UV still not enough then repaste can push more depand on what paste you using..., extreme tpye can choose liquid metal...Seen forums and YouTube people been talking about this to fix the thermal throttling.. Why isn't this fixed by Dell? Also the WiFi card, Killer 1535 is so bad people ditch em for an Intel instead. I just find it weird a company such as Dell could let this happen despite users' common complain. I understand XPS 15 isnt a gaming laptop, so these people complain because they expected XPS 15 to be doing more than what it was designed to do? I plan to get one to use for work + leisure, and portability is one of my criteria coz I carry it in and out daily. I hope this is a good buy (despite having to resort to the above solutions to get the best out of this laptop). Hope sifus here can clarify. Tq For WiFi 1535, i feel still OK, for normal youtube + webbrowsing not having lag, if you like can purchase intel 9260 from Taobao, quite cheap.. XPS is very good laptop, just because its dont had major issue, so ppl is looking on those minor... XPS is NOT gaming laptop, but i can play Dota 2, Shadow of War, witcher 3 with just lower the setiing only.... XPS is compare to Macbook Pro!! Not GS65, Aero 15, i feel its best fit my daily need with its weight and power inside. Maybe you can wait 11xx series GPU, but for 1150 + XPS may need wait until next year... |

QUOTE(eugenelimys @ Sep 16 2018, 05:32 AM) Eh Steven, your lappy also 8gb right? If you professional photographer who edit Premier Pro + Lightroom together, then may not sufficient...Not sure enough for light room or not.. Haiz.. A bit worried/regret.. 4k screen suck up quite a lot of battery from what I heard, but I can't find any decent stats.. If only occasional user like me, 8gb is good enough for lightroom alone |

QUOTE(eugenelimys @ Sep 16 2018, 12:10 PM) Tbh not gaming la bro.. Just want a light and portable laptop that can do some editing.. But also worried can't last.. Cuz this laptop freaking pricey haha Yes 8gb is really basic nowaday, and i dont plan to upgrade. Hoping too much maybe? Haiz.. If dell malaysia offers 16gb 1080p, this is gonna be perfect.. FYI, I do game on my XPS >> witcher 3, Tomb Rider & war of shadow. Do take note, few trick is MUST for XPS to play such game >> UV(CPU & GCU), Repaste etc and dont expect FHD at 60FPS always. XPS is not mean for game. I open 10+ chrome tap + lightroom together is no issue with 8gb as well. Always know your limit and shut down some app if dont use, else get XPS15 for upgrade |
