I´ve been using this computer for almost two years and I still have the same problemas as described above. Already changed the thermal coolers by reaching the technical support, downloaded a new BIOS, but it doesn´t helps.
Even on normal usage, such as browsing or chatting, this problem persists. Super noising fans work at the whole time when gaming, and the FPS drops constantly.
Using an external cooler helps to keep FPS constant, putting the laptop on a upright position, but is a shame on Dell Technology. This is an super expansive computer and that shouldn't happen.
I have too a dell g7 series, what i did, i entered to the alienware command center app, and put the fans at the highest spped possible, then i opened the dell power manager and i put the ultra performace, also in the alienware app, i put the cooler option, and my temperature its on 53 without playing anything, and maximun 70 playing games.
Unfortunately, I’ve experienced this on multiple laptops, Asus, MSI and Dell. Two Dell’s actually, 1060 full fat and 2070 Max-Q. They are not built for thermal management, which is astounding considering what the intent of the machine is. You can eliminate some of this by setting your CPU max in Power Settings under the profile to 99% and 99%. Or use XTU to undervolt and bring the power targets for Turbo in line. It’s the CPU, the GPU’s are quite good to be fair. I’ve played with different BIOS, turning cores off, HT, Turbo, and the biggest change really is setting that Active cooling policy to 99%. I hope this helps someone else.

Worte a big reply but then had an error. Look up a throttlestop guide. It reduced my temps without having to compomise too much performance.

Never going to buy from them again.
