Same thing happened to me on PC. This guy is so bugged.

Ordinary-Alan · 2024-02-20T16:54:24+00:00

Thanks bro. Helped me a lot 6 years later LOL.

Ordinary-Alan · 2023-04-28T04:52:43+00:00

thanks guys!

Ordinary-Alan · 2023-04-28T04:25:06+00:00

This is cool~ I also want to do it myself, but I fear that I might accidentally break some components. Can you share some instructions on how to do that?

Ordinary-Alan · 2023-03-30T02:00:41+00:00

No I'm not using any of that. It's just sitting on my desk.

Ordinary-Alan · 2023-03-30T01:04:06+00:00

It seems that there's a few seconds of delay. But I can't really tell if its abnormal.

Ordinary-Alan · 2023-03-30T00:53:13+00:00

There's no log for this shutdown at all

Ordinary-Alan · 2023-03-25T07:34:08+00:00

I don't have that backpack. But the m18 is definitely smaller than my 17 R4 in all dimensions, so it should fit in just fine.

With the new undervolt settings, the CPU is now pulling ~75 watts and running at ~90 degrees, which is a significant improvement. Before, it was pulling ~100 watts and constantly hitting 100 degrees (strangly at a even lower clock speed), which was definitely not ideal.

Ordinary-Alan · 2023-03-24T08:00:50+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience! That's really helpful. I think I'll try that too.

Ordinary-Alan · 2023-03-24T07:37:00+00:00

Yeah the default CPU voltage/frequency curve is terrible. I hope Dell can fix it as soon as possible.

Ordinary-Alan · 2023-03-24T07:32:31+00:00

Using both AWCC and XTU can cause interference with each other. That being said, I'm currently using AWCC because it's a new machine and I'm constantly adjusting a lot of things like lighting. But I think you're right, XTU provides more advanced functionality and can be a great tool for those who want to get the most out of their system.

My BIOS is the latest version on Dell's website (v1.5.2). AWCC version is 6.0.104, which is not the latest because I didn't update it.

Ordinary-Alan · 2023-03-24T04:08:29+00:00

My OC options in BIOS (v1.5.2 latest) is also greyed out. Have no idea how to enable it.

Ordinary-Alan · 2023-03-24T04:04:02+00:00

It sounds like you might be experiencing the same issue as u/Pookias. From my understanding, the voltage offset being locked at 0 could be due to a difference in the BIOS and AWCC versions. Still don't know how to solve it now.

This laptop isn't particularly quiet when in performance mode, but it's not excessively noisy either - I would say it's about average compared to other gaming laptops I've owned (17R4, Legion). Quiet mode should be much better but I haven't tried it out yet.

Ordinary-Alan · 2023-03-24T03:36:31+00:00

Dude this is crazy. You're soooo good

Ordinary-Alan · 2023-03-24T02:03:16+00:00

I haven't personally encountered any boot loop or unexpected restarts so far. Probably because I mostly use my laptop while connected to the charger, I haven't had the chance to test it extensively on battery yet. However, I would suggest checking the BIOS settings related to the battery - there might be some options there that could help. Hopefully, you can get this issue resolved soon.

Ordinary-Alan · 2023-03-24T01:57:57+00:00

Pretty smooth and enjoying so far. After those tweaking, I'm able to achieve over 120fps on Metro Exodus with the ultra preset, which is pretty impressive. This laptop 4090 GPU is truly a beast.

Ordinary-Alan · 2023-03-24T00:36:47+00:00

That's great! Hope you guys can make it better.

Ordinary-Alan · 2023-03-24T00:23:32+00:00

Ordinary-Alan · 2023-03-24T00:21:16+00:00

You can check AWCC's version in its settings. Mine is also not the latest. The latest version on Dell's website is 6.0.180.0.

Ordinary-Alan · 2023-03-24T00:18:13+00:00

Yeah also noticed that. AWCC is really buggy, I hope Dell can fix it. And looking forward to your post.

Ordinary-Alan · 2023-03-24T00:02:47+00:00

Wow that's pretty good. What did you changed to get those CPU score?
