Include XPS thermal management system to G3/G5/G7 BIOS
Hi Dell,
Considering the amount of issues related to thermal management and fan control in the G-Series I would like to suggest you include in the next BIOS version the same thermal management system of XPS line and allow it to be controlled via Dell Power Manager the same way XPS line works (with Cool, Quiet, Balanced and High Performance profiles), this will save you a lot of headache and returns due to systems running too hot or too loud when it's just a matter of software management.
G-Series laptop may be entry-level gaming pcs but its users are very demanding when it comes to stability and controls, so it would make sense, I want to be able to let me g3 be really quiet during work time and when I want to game, I would like to be able to set it to high performance and system ramp up fans to keep thermals under control and excellent performance.
I believe other owners will agree with me.
Best regards.

There are several DELL G7 users that want this resource to theirs notebook... It would soulve a lot of complaints regarding thermal issues during gaming and normal usage.
It would make both types of customers happier, who wants the laptop quiet&hot or loud&cool.
I dont see why it is not the company interest to implement this resource to this product...

The problem is turbo boost. The problem is solved by reducing the maximum processor state to 99% which basically turns off turbo boost. Which stinks because now my 4.1 boosted processor only caps at 2.1 now. So temps are down but so is my processor speed. I lose about 20 frames per second at 99% vs 100%.
I didn't buy a 2.1 GHz processor!

The big problem that I've noticed is that fans are taking too long to kick in, they only go full throttle when the cpu is over 70-75 degrees and even so, sometimes they stay at 3900 RPM not goind all the way to 5200RPM (which I think is the max speed).
I had a lotta issues with the 7567 model, but the one thing they got it right was the fan speeds, at 60 degrees it would gradually start spinning keeping temps quite low all the time.
Another solution that I found was building a PVC laptop stand with 4 coolers, when browsing and watching vids temps are between 35-45.

Yeah, that's the problem. At this time
I still getting thermal throtling issues. Look at the graphs. Still hitting 99 ºC/100ºC.

It's not stable at all. Look at the installation of nvidia drivers. It's not a high end compute task. But still thermal throttling.

No solution even NO ANSWER at all !! First time I bought a dell laptop and I regret that. Wish that I bought msi gp63, same price, same specs but no thermal problem, it also ships with fan control software installed on. We are begging to Dell for fan control through 3 months but no answer came up. What a waste.

How can I do that?? My g7 is having fps drops everytime I play battlefield V, and this problem didn't happen before. My bios version is 1.6. Can you tell me how you set up throttlestop to do that?

They would most certainly start to pay attention to you if you tweet or if you somehow get a "tech youtuber" to voice the issues.

Does this issue apply to all G-series computer? I've commanded a G3 computer and if it's the case i'd like to know it so I can cancel my command.
Sorry for my uncorrect english.
