Old g5 issues .Dell g15 doesnt have these. You cannot undervolt ryzen versions but you can lock the tdp and temp then it automatically undervolts. I use ryzen controller to do this. You can use alienware commandcenter (if you have it)to maually do fan curves
I have the G5SE version( the same shell with all AMD chips) when I was doing repaste I found out it has so many thermal pads with their protective films still on. So it explained why it was getting overheated all the time. Quality workmanship from Dell.😂😂😂
I have one. It does overheat. I removed the grill to allow air flow better and ut dropped like 8 celcius. A cooling base helped by 3 celcius. So it works better now but the Dust and cat hair will become a problem. Its been 4 months.
Forgot to add, mine is g5 se, you can (barely) use the alienware command center app and press f7 to activate performance Mode, which turns the fans on with full power. And wanted to clarify, I just removed the metal Part of the vents in the back panel, thats what i meant for grill, not the back panel entirely (not native english speaker).

I have an older model of g5. It was always overheating and I was using Noctua NT-H1. The only solution I could find was to use thermal grizzly liquid metal and the temps are okay now.
I used to have one of these. Dell has the worst support I’ve ever seen, who refused to believe that it was an issue. They sent a repair guy to “fix it”, and all he did was lock the screen at 60hz(should be 144). Eventually, I just had to keep it on low performance mode all the time. At default settings, it can easily hit 100c running games. Never buying a Dell product again.
dell is dogwater when it comes to gaming laptops unless you’re paying premium for an Alienware which is good but overpriced as hell the only sensible buys from dell are the XPS and inspiron stuff
@@keleeeSuitcase laptops were full desktops with an LCD and a place to stuff the keyboard etc. Plus a handle to lift it . Fitting a 4090 GPU in one would be easy!
In dell's defense, some of the new Dell work laptops are decent. In hp's defense, the hp envy I have had been in good shape for about 7 years it is an aluminum body, so that helps with the hinges not breaking.
@rypsterhc8673 had one and the GPU started dying in July of last year. It was only 17 months old. And also had a non-gaming HP laptop that just died after 1.9 years, when it was sent back from manufacturer repair it was too slow to use. 80x slower than before it broke
If you’re interested in a g5 , read my comment, As a owner of one of these, the fix is get a laptop cooler, drops about 10c-12c, 25$ for the cooler, bought mine for 375$ on eBay , also replacing the stock ssd to one with a heatsink is a must. Things are quirky but for sub 400$ and is on par with some high end systems , it’s a trade off I’m willing to have. Now I’m not an intense gamer, it is a spare system Just in case something were to happen to my main pc, or I want to play games at a friends house , so your mileage may vary. I highly recommend to fellow technicians, not to those who aren’t willing to spend hours pulling your hair out. Also the 2nd ram dimm slot randomly shuts off sometimes lol. Worth under 450$, anything more, buy something nicer.
I actually have the G5 SE and I was forced to use a Laptop Fan but even then temperature was 80c on peak games. And yes, the bottom panel is something that blocks airflow.
Dell G5 owner here. The heat management on the laptop is universally terrible unless you want it as a combo skillet. I "fixed" my laptop's overheating without sparing any performance by buying an aftermarket laptop cooler that has an aluminum grated surface with vents. G5 can now run full throttle and charge without overheating concerns.
I had a G3 some years ago. And it overheated so much that it melted the internal VGA cable. They fixed it for me for free. But it kept over heating…💔 But it was the best budget gaming laptop for me 🙌.
As someone who has a G5 and has the exact same internal structure when I took the laptop apart, these laptops are so bad at cooling unless you put the fans at max the whole time
I remember this, my friend had one that died cause of Dell's terrible BIOS updates. So originally it had decent cooling though people complained about the fan noise, so they lowered the fanspeed and made the system overheat. People complained again and gave a BIOS revert FOR A LIMITED TIME! So the final BIOS version is a low top fan speed that'll 100% kill your system and there was nothing you could do about it. ...Gj dell...
My (free) XPS 9570 has the same cooling for an i7-8750H and 1050 Ti. The i7 can boost to 80W, and that ALONE is too much for the cooling. There is also a dGPU in there. But surprisingly the biggest problem seems to be that the power delivery stuff has ZERO cooling, so that overheats and then everything else slows down too. And I can't forget to mention that the battery discharges while "running" games.
As a G5 owner it’s great except the small bottom vents. But recently for some unknown reason the LDC screen cable randomly broke, other than that it has served me well
I have a Dell G3 same generation, removed the dust filter for better airflow, installed dell power management or whatever it's called to change the fan curve preset. Now it's much louder and I don't place it on anything except for a clean desk but temps are okay.
I have a G7 and been playing on it for 4 years with average 20-50 hours a week. Even when overclocking, the worst that happens is that it shuts down, but it still works. Only issue now is horizontal lines on display when running 60 hz using ddr.
I have a second hand G5 and it having a terrible hinged which i super glued back twice and i just put it against a box and hits 80 to 90, though i haven't cleaned the mesh using the toothbrush. Anyday the battery may give me a lovely surprise as it's bit bloated.
I have a G7. I have tormented it and kept it running straight for basically 5 years straight, squeezing maximum performance at every turn. The best heating trick I use is just raising it off the ground with two thin blocks of wood. It’s reduced to a potato now but this is primarily due to storage being 2gb spare.
The best solution is to apply Phase Change Material (PCM) like Honeywell PTM7950, Upsiren PCM-1. Replace the thermal pads with thermal putty Upsiren UX Pro and performing undervolting.
Check for separation , try thicker high quality pads , run the diaplay in a lower resolution and check for compatibility issues like bottlenecks due to cpu load. You could lower the power profile as well and set the fans to run at 80-100% at all times. Check if adding extra thermal pads to transfer heat to the pipes would help. Add pads to the memeory chips and hard-drive. Run it on low quality appearance as well. How the battery performing? Could it be over heating and or dead causing constant power draw ? Lower the ram oc, cpu oc and gpu oc too
Thermal paste which works great on desktops cpu usually sucks when being put into laptops. Like Noctua NT-H1 and MX4/MX5, nobody uses that for laptops. You could use Kryonaut or PTM7950 from Honeywell, which is very popular in the gaming laptop scene.
I have a mid-2012 MacBook Pro that I thermally modified (removed the metal backplate and used the bottom case part instead) (The MacBook Pro has Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme) and well it doesn’t overheat. The MacBook automatically adjusted its fan curve over months of use and the second the cpu cores hit 85c under load the fans start spinning.
serviced many of those laptops, the Issue is that those were designed for much lower specs like a 1660ti, and they forced the MAX -Q Designs, you can have them work no issues if you set the power targets to the lowest point (like a 55w tdp on the gpu), and having them a ventilated base, this has happened since 2005 lol, they're trying to fit a lambo v10 into a vw beetle chassis and not fitting enough cooling
I have one too, on resource demanding games it does over heat ofc, but which laptop doesn't, it's been in service for a year now and I'm satisfied with it.
I have a G3 with the same frame/cooling setup, but a 6 core 9th Gen i7 instead, and a GTX 1650. Even with me redoing the thermal paste and cleaning out the vents/heatsinks it still spins those fans like a mofo if you're doing anything intensive or using the dGPU. Mine will throttle itself pretty easily at 100c, so it makes sense that a newer system with a significantly more powerful GPU using the same cooling setup would constantly be shitting the bed.
The issue with old G5 and G7 is the optimization that was made. Basically the only way to fix the overheating is undervolting, and that's about it. Different from the newer G15 model that had an actually decent heatsink, and even with that it can hit 100c temps under heavy gaming. But if you undervolt it will also work smooth. So yeah, no one knows what Dell had in mind to not put a heatsink that can endure the heat produced. (Some ppl do crazy heatsink mods, but it's too advanced and kinda expensive)
What aggravates me the most is this thing overheats brand new out of the box, just like many other gaming laptops. Then they disable undervolting (so you have to manually edit the BIOS which is sketchy af) and don’t give you the ability to manually control the fan speed (the fans don't kick on until the thing is at 100c for like 30 seconds ffs).
