HI
I have read the post earlier, most of the people recommend XPS 8940.
As i watch from youtube, most of the XPS 8940 having cooling problem, if i wanted upgrade how should i do it ya?
I am planning to buy 11700 with 3060TI.

Comes with stock 80mm exhaust fan. The rear fan mounting holes can fir 92mm max.

Replaced my stock CPU cooler with Arctic Freezer i13X CO. No need to replace backplate. Mounting set fits just nice with stock backplate.

hows the temp? improving?

Idle 35c, max gaming 76c. No CPU fan noise. Before that, stock cooler max gaming 88c. Loud CPU fan.

Cinebench R20 no difference, CPU still throttle.

Might add an intake fan later. The GPU is still hot.

how high the temp can really go with CPU-Z stress test for 3 minutes? (max reading not current reading)

Same as cinebench test. Temp shoot up to 88c 10 seconds into test and throttle.

Can't do that unfortunately. XPS 8940 parts are exactly like this G5 except front and side panel.
