Performance mode allows for higher CPU performance due to the much higher power settings, but in this case, the CPU pretty much runs in the 95-100C in sustained loads, and the fans run louder, but still barely noticeable at sub 40 dBA. So this would only make sense for sporadic short-...
if the retail models end up running at 25/28W sustained in the Cinebench loop tests, both of these XPS 13s would be excellent implementations of the Tiger Lake hardware considering their thin form factors, but based on what we’re seeing right now, that might not be the case. ...
Now I prefer one of theese 13” because I bring it with me all the time because of my work and my back has warned me twice to change the size and the weigth of it. ;) what other options (in case you see a problem here) do you recomend, if I need a lap for a daily use ...
Dell emphasizes on the GORE insulated materials used to isolate the components from the keyboard in order to keep case-level temperatures at bay, and it seems to do the trick. For comparison, my old Core i5 powered XPS 13 runs hotter in both cases, and with a more aggressive fan profile...
In case you are wondering, that isa lotof paste. I cleaned it off with alcohol and repasted with Gelid GC Extreme. The repaste: with thermal paste, less is more I ran Firestrike again and got a score of 1179 with temperatures peaking at 91C. This is better—a 39% improvement compared...
Update: Here are our thoughts on the updated Dell XPS models launched in 2024, thelightweight Dell XPS 13 9340,the compact Dell XPS 14 9440, and the newmainstream Dell XPS 16 9640. The main questions I seek to answer in this review are whether or not it is worth upgrading to if you...
On the same side, Dell have refined their power profiles and cooling over the years, and this generation has minimized the thermal issues of past XPS 15 models, while also keeping within comfortable fan noise levels and temperatures, both internally and at the case level....

In this case, however, I am able to report on the XPS 15 9570 as I’ve been using it daily for the last 3 months. In light of these experiences, I would like to share my observations about the device and how I would rate the product after spending hundreds of hours on it. ...
