Removed the insulation sticker (product label) from the SSD drive and firmly applied a new adhesive heat pad to the SSD drive. Opened the NVIDIA control panel and under 3D settings>Program Settings, set the most used apps on my machine to utilize the ‘High Performance NVIDIA Processor’ rather than the Integrated Graphics or default global settings.(One guy said this solved it for him).
Downloaded and installed Dell power management software and set the profile to ‘Quiet’ Removed the manufacturer thermal paste and carefully and evenly applied a healthy amount of Noctua brand paste which the site I landed on at the time said it was the best before I read your post here about the cool ‘freeze’ sounding brand (forgive my memory). Purchased double the RAM and installed it. Purchased new CPU and GPU fans and installed them.
Super cleaned my PC with compressed air regularly enough that it has almost zero fibers or dust inside at any given time. Whether the following steps I’ve taken are hilarious to some or not.in my desperate attempt to solve this I have, after reading endless solution related posts on a variety of websites including Dell forums etc (published by people with the same problem) tried the following: Mine also did not behave like this for the first year after purchase and now just constantly seems to ramp up the fans seemingly unnecessarily. It has been my ongoing mission to try and quieten it.
all at once, I’ve never seen it above 62-68 degrees Celsius. When not performing tasks, my workstation stays between 50-55 degrees Celsius and the fan noise (as my PC is in my bedroom connected to my TV), is intensely loud.Īlternatively, when under heavy load i.e 4x times instances of VLC running different movies at the same time, MS Word, the whole Adobe suite open (all apps) and Mozilla Firefox with multiple tabs playing different YouTube videos. I say this after learning from you that 50degrees Celsius shouldn’t really be concerning. that Dell simply ramp up their fan profile speed unnecessarily. After reading your excellent input here I have deduced what one of you said is likely accurate. My main problem which, from what I can tell is practically identical. NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050Ti with 4GB GDDR5 I upgraded this to Intel wireless AC 9260 which works flawlessly. Original Killer brand Wireless network card removed (coz it constantly disconnected).
RAM (original 16gb I removed) and I upgraded it to G.SKILL 32GB (2 x 16G) Ripjaws Series DDR4 PC4-19200 2400MHz 260-Pin Laptop Memory Model F4-2400C16D-32GRS
I have been suffering from this exact same problem in my identical Dell notebook for around ten months now and research it time and time again while systematically attempting new fixes each time I learn something new.Ĩth Generation Intel® Core™ i7-8750H Processor (9M Cache, up to 4.1 GHz) Can I just commend you legends on the most interesting and helpful chain of forum posts I believe I have ever read.
