Dell G3 3590 (2019) Thermal Testing - How Hot Is It?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- The Dell G3 is Dell’s entry level gaming laptop for 2019 and comes in at a more budget friendly price point compared to their higher end options like the G5 or G7. I’ve previously found the G5 to run very hot, so how does the G3 compare?
In this testing we’ll take a detailed look at performance, see if there is any throttling caused by thermal or power limits, and find out what can be done to improve gaming performance and temperatures.
I’ll investigate undervolting, overclocking, and show you how hot the laptop gets while gaming and under combined CPU and GPU stress test with different settings, let you listen to total system fan noise, test with a cooling pad and see hot spots with a thermal camera.

I've had mine for a day and a half so far. Snagged it from Dell's Labor Day sale. Thoughts:
- It definitely runs hot. A cooling pad would be useful for most people that want to push this thing hard.
- It's fairly quiet doing anything but gaming. It's honestly about as loud as the 3 fans in my old desktop; not really noticeable.
- I have the GTX 1650 and the i5-9300H. It's handled everything I've thrown at it so far with gusto. No lag. No issues. Quick load times.
Example: I played a few rounds of Mechwarrior Online tonight. It ran hot (to be expected) but that game is an unoptimized Cry-Engine monstrosity that was built on a version of CryEngine 3 that didn't have a whole lot of the good performance updates of later engine builds.
It looked beautiful at max-ish settings and ran anywhere from 40 to 80 FPS (usually dependent on map. Some are laggy to this day), even when I had GeForce constantly recording. Quite smooth.
TL;DR: Worth it! Keep it cool and expect some good performance out of it for the price.
Thanks for sharing your experience with it! It's always good to hear what others who own it think to build a better overall picture.
Yes I have the same laptop. I m not a gamer but i need high performance laptop for my software development work. Heat is an issue for me. Even when I do regular day to day stuff heat will significantly increased. If I touch the bottom line of the screen I can feel it.
Apart from the heat issue. Since I am not using performance mode laptop is quite silent for me.
I need a solution for this extra heat.

I've been looking for videos like this in my language but there are nothing. I have this laptop and I got concerned about temperatures but now I see my laptop's temperatures are in the average xD thank you a lot.
dunno if you'll respond but this is the perfect laptop that i'm looking for, however i also noticed thermals are an issue on this one. Is it worth still getting? your comment was from 7 months ago so maybe you can catch me up on the state of your laptop?
Bottom of the screen bazel gets hot when we do heavy stuff or do gaming for hours.. because it blocks the air flow...
Dell actually power limit their laptop! That’s good for thermals although this laptop isn’t exactly a legend at heat extraction, it’s nice to see Dell actually respect their chassis’s limitation 👍
The temperatures are still very hot? Is it the amount of heatpipes that cause the overheating? Or is it because the fans and heat sink doesn't move enough air? It seems like the amount heatpipes are too little for an i7 9750H.
@@chanrithjr9892 well, they were fine in the last year's model(I own one) so I don't know what happened.
Yeah good to see it, fair compromise in my opinion compared to just smashing 99c like the G5. Having the button to boost fan speed is a nice improvement over the older G5/G7 too!
your videos need to be getting more views. great stuff.
Thanks!
Are you planning to do a review on the new MSI gf 63 and/or 75?
I'm thinking about buying one from my money earned during summer and also for Christmas
I'd really appreciate if you could 😁
Keep up the quality content mate😁
Thanks! There are a few models I want to get from MSI, they just haven't been sending me much this year for some reason. That said I still do have their GP75 and P65 here I need to finish with 😅 I will request more models once I get through those.
Keep It up dude 😁
101-st like!
WTH Dell? This laptop is actually silent during the quiet mode, which I can't say for the last year's model I have, which can be pretty loud in the quiet mode even at idle and at temps 45-60, which are completely safe! Silence is what I want when temps are low, I don't understand why in the last year's model all the quiet mode does is limits the CPU TDP to 15 watts!
Yeah good that quiet mode actually means quiet 😂 at least at idle, of course, the fans would kick in after a bit if I actually start using it, and would probably depend on ambient temps too.
Yikes, no wonder why I always feel my g3 being really hot.

@@JarrodsTech can you help me? I have a Dell G3 3590 with a very similar configuration (it`s nearly the same except it has 24Gb RAM and 525Gb SSD). You`ve mentioned in the video that it is tend to be warm during running games. Could you recommend any kind of cooler pad which is worth to use it with? Secondly, for my previous laptop (Lenovo Ideapad Y510p) I have a vacuum cooler alongside with. One of my colleagues (whom I do not really respect as a computer pro) said it can ruin my notebook`s inside cooler fans. It has a potmeter where you can adjust the power of the vacuum cooler`s fans, but there`s no way to measure the speed of it of course, moreover, there`s no way to determine the speed of the coolers inside the notebook. Therefore he said that if the vacuum cooler`s fans are faster than the coolers inside the notebook, it can ruin the thole of the coolers inside the laptop. What do you say, is it true or it is just a fantasy of his simple mind? And what do you think, is it worth to keep this vacuum cooler alongside with Dell G3? Because in case of the Ideapad Y510p there were blow-holes on the side of the notebook where you can easily fit the vacuum cooler, but in case of Dell G3 it`s not so simple because as far as I see it has a blow-hole right below the hinge and in my view it couldn`t be simple to fit the vacuum cooler there because of the hinge itself....or what is your recommendation at all, what is the best cooler to use alongside with Dell G3 3590? Thank you for your help in advance and I`m looking forward to your answer.

@@odynzeyez6259 yes, I don`t have a 24Gb RAM....I have a 16Gb RAM + 8Gb RAM=24Gb RAM....don`t forget, there are 2 RAM slots in that laptop like in most of the 15,6" laptops.
I’ve been using this laptop for quite a while, around a 1.5 years, though I’m not quite sure. It’s honestly not the best experience I’ve had. I’m not particularly someone with any great economical standing since I’m a college student in low income household, but I managed to get one of these practically new for just 500 dollars with just a month of use on it. Hurray! I got 6 cores and 12 threads for my engineering work and a beefy GPU to play some games on the side while away from my desktop. Ironically, on paper, this laptop faired quite better than my desktop at home with an R5 1600, 16GB of RAM and GTX 1060 3Gig variant. This is only on paper though.
During regular use, it would constantly underclock most frequently due to thermal constraints, and at times, power distribution constraints too. I’m aware I live in the tropical island of Puerto Rico but it would slow down to a crawl, dropping from 3.2GHz to 2.4GHz and crashing down into 1.5GHz range. All. The. Damn. Time. If it’s unplugged, it’s underclocked natively and would still become extremely hot. While plugged in, the fact that it would now suck large amounts of power from the wall would heat it up. There just wasn’t any middle ground. Even indoors in a well air conditioned office or library where I frequently studied in, it would become a thermonuclear power plant with a Hurricane generator attached to it.
About the fans though, even at max speed, they barely push out any air. I’ve used decade old laptops with single fans capable of blowing more volume of air than both the fans in the g3 combined, with similar or even better sound performance. Geez, Dell, at least help me cool this damn thing. The bottom air vents cover part of the fans and the filter is not fine enough, being more material than holes. It’s just so loud and blows no air to justify it. This leads to my CPU being at 90+ degrees while doing anything and if I’m lucky, it could be within the 80s. Given this, I reiterate that the CPU is constantly downclocked due to thermal constraints.
Once a load starts, it’s all over. Going back to the power limit constraints. EVEN IF you’re not thermally restricted, you’re heavily power limited. The moment the GPU Is actually needed, say for gaming or a quick render of my CAD models, the CPU just gets sucked out of life dropping to the 1-2GHz range. I’ve endured to have it in a cooled room with the fans maxed out and good airflow directed at it, but even with a cold die, it would be underclocked because you either get CPU or GPU performance. And even when you’re using just one, you never ever really get their performance as you’d expect in other machines. This does affect heavily in gaming, since when the GPU is heavily loaded, there’s no power for the CPU, so alt-tab’ing out of a game will be troublesome because windows doesn’t have CPU overhead to deal with your requests. Not only for gaming, but with many things that strain the GPU but should leave good overhead for the CPU. Overwatch will lead my CPU to drop to 1.5GHz with a 30% usage limit at those speeds. A slight issue while gaming, a huge issue while trying to do any background tasks. Even discord calls would suffer and I would “lag” or cut it in calls simply because my CPU was power starved.
It’s a really mixed bag. I’ve tried ripping out the filter, using expensive thermal paste that I bought for my desktop, DIY cooling pad with two high quality 140mm desktop fans I had laying around, some wood work and a 12v modem power supply (worked great and was fun to make), I’ve cleaned the inside many times, undervolting, though unstable with my workloads. It’s just a heat machine and even if I slap on liquid metal, which I have been considering, it’ll then proceed to have power limitations. I get it’s a budget system but why put such good hardware in it and not even let me use it.
As a closing statement, I’m just glad I bought it at 500. That was a damn steal, knowing it was around 1200-1700USD, had one month of use and seemed amazing on paper. Due to the pandemic, I gave up on selling my desktop and I’m now back to using it. For context, I tried selling my build and use my laptop as my main system with two external monitors but no one would want to buy the desktop, so I’m back on it and now considering selling the layout for some spare mula. Maybe I could break even or perhaps even get more than what I paid for, knowing it’s still good hardware. I’ll figure something eventually. Great video btw! 💜
To add onto this, in whatever latest bios/chipset update, I am no longer capable of using the Intel XTU utility and since I recently picked up this thing from my closet and updated everything at once with a fresh install of windows, I now have no idea what disabled it. I will be trying to rollback the drivers one by one but I just want to know why the hell would they remove the ability to reduce slightly the power consumption and thermal output of this chip :(
Couldn't explain better, hats off! I also have the same damn problem you had and it's really pissing me off sometimes.
It's not almost 2 years since my dad bought me this device. When I first got it, I was really happy and amazed (and I still am honestly, just because of what hardware it has). Just after a month or 3, I faced the biggest problem and that is the thermal heating of this device.
Let me note this real quick: My device has Windows 11 operating and it has an external monitor. It also has 20gigs of ram; one slot of 4 and one of 16. Everything I say are based on my specs.
I am a software developer/graphics developers and I'd like to get everything out of my device, also while coding my programs. A lot of the programs I use to build applications just takes a lot of my cpu usage and thermal heating is not really making my workspace efficient.
The biggest bruh moment happens while gaming.
Once I open up a video game, the processor temperature goes all the way up to 100 degrees celcius. One of the games I play is Counter Strike: Global Offensive. In a game like that, it's really nice to have a lot of FPS, which requires everything out of my cpu. It starts getting annoying when it reaches above 90 degrees celcius. The clock frequency will automatically go down if the temperatures are high, as you already mentioned, causing fps drops in my game.
I tried everything to solve the problem; cleaning everything inside my device, applying new thermal paste, updating the BIOS settings. I also setup a big fan behind my device back in summer because it can be really hot sometimes here in the Netherlands. None of the actions I took worked and I am here with the problem. I was thinking to purchase myself a cooling pad and some new fans, maybe that will help, but after seeing this video and your comment, it made change my mind.
I think (at least, almost) every G3 user has this problem. Dell also does not give a single fuck if it comes to support or just anything at all. I know for sure that I am not going to buy anything from Dell anymore. My brother used to have the same problem again, Dell did just not help at all.
As you mentioned already, the price of these devices are amazing, indeed a damn steal let's be honest. It feels nice to work on, the display is decent for me at least. It's just sad that we cannot get EVERYTHING out of our beautiful hardware all because of thermal heating. I think the best thing I can do is just save for an actual gaming desktop since I bought this one just for my study.
This thread so perfectly describes my struggles😫. Ass device overall
question : how hot is it?
me : mine is ofc hotter than the sun
I have this exact laptop to this spec and let me tell you the thermal throttling is pissing me off. At times the gpu and cpu usage would be so low because the cpu is nearing 100c its ridiculous haha.
same, my cpu regularly drops below 1 ghz when playing forza, i definitely need to repaste and clean mine
I've had mine for a week and a half, and i have to say that i'm worried.
The single game that i tend to play : Overwatch (which was one of the games advertised that the laptop could play) usually runs at temperatures higher than 95 degrees Celsius quite consistently each time that i play it, and while i don't have a cooling pad, i find it a bit worrying given that most other thermal tests don't come out with results nearly as hot.
The specs on my G3 may not be as high but it was advertised that it could game (with frame rates as high as 80 fps on games like overwatch):
-NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 with 3GB GDDR5 graphics memory
-512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive
-8GB 2x4GB DDR4 2666MHz
- 9th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-9300H (8MB Cache, up to 4.1 GHz, 4 cores)
Any ideas?
Nothing really to be concerned about, these things are designed to run hot under load and will just throttle back as needed to remain in safe thermal limits. Yours is either warmer because you're in a warmer room temp than me (generally every 1c increase to room temp = 1c increase to internals), or maybe the thermal paste was applied poorly at the factory. The 1050 is kind of entry level, but for esports titles like overwatch 80 FPS should be easy at lower settings.
You need to Undervolt it using Throttlestop
Do you have a video on how to undervolt? If not I would love to see that!
Not yet, however I highly recommend this video: ruclips.net/video/yNt9L3BWOFo/видео.html
Thanks for this test. I was expecting worst thermal performance than this, so it isn't totaly bad. The cooling pad and the undervolt seems really helpfull with this laptop. In the model with the i5 9300h i expect better temparatures (maybe no thermal throtling?) but a little less performance, and this is the model i'm interessed in.
Yeah I'd expect better thermals with the i5 under same workloads due to less cores, assuming they have same lower limits. If the power limits are boosted it might run similarly or hotter but also hit higher clock speeds, hard to say for sure how it behaves without testing.
@@JarrodsTech I expect the same result too, and with the undervolt and maybe the cooling pad, better result. The only disappointment is the GTX 1660 ti Max-Q instead of the GTX 1660 ti. This is Dell false advertising. Also i hope that the 512 gb ssd will have good performance.
Depends I guess, on the US/AU Dell sites they list Max-Q, not sure why it varies by region, but Dell have done this in the past too.
I have the i7 and the 16 gb ram this thing has never gone over 79°C, Never..
Hey Jarod, while gaming this laptop logs off by itself.... any idea why this is happening?
It wasn't happening while I played other games from past 6 months, I'm started Assassins creed origins and since yesterday its been happening like this
It been happening to me lately too, it’s most definitely a overheating issue. I be in the middle of any of my sim games and it just locks and shuts everything down. I just ordered a cooling pad finger crossed this solve the issue

Thanks for the support!
Good video as usual I've got the i7 and 1650 model for 850 bucks. that seems like a good value to me
Thanks! Yeah sounds like it, this one was $1350 on dell.com for the 1660 Ti Max-Q, doesn't seem worth it when you can get non Max-Q machines for less money. I talk about this in the upcoming full review, basically that at the lower spec options it's likely going to be where the deal lies.
Yeah definitely if i had that 1100 bucks I will have gone for sure for the helios 300 . But I think I am alright with the gtx 1650 It handles my games pretty well. I Cant wait for the full review!
Notebookcheck claims that the laptop gtx 1650 is nearly as good as the laptop gtx 1060 in directx12 games such as shadow of the tomb raider. I dont have a gtx 1060 Haha so maybe jarrod could do a comparison of them ?
The comparison is on the to-do list, it's just hard as both generation of GPUs also come attached with different gen CPUs, can't do perfect apples to apples, there will be caveats.
@Setzer K Yeah that's why we are here.
Do not buy a Dell gaming laptop, they overheat and thus the performance is greatly affected. My friend spent 2000$ and deeply regrets it. He sent it over 2 times for repair and so far they are unable to fix his overheating/throttling problem. Since it was bought 30 days ago he is unable to get a refund and he is left with a bad computer who cant play the games he want. Stay away from Dell, you've been warned.
After doing some research I figured that undervolting -125 is possibly a solution if anyone have tryed that please let me know.
The vents are blowing directly into the screen at the bottom, as seen via thermal camera. How do you think it will affect the display in year/2/5 (supposedly the machine will last that long)?
Honestly it's hard to say, I've never used a machine that did that long term.
@@JarrodsTech Let's try another way: do you think the temps might rise so long to cause damage to the display?
I'm really into buying this model (i5, nV 1650)
I honestly don't know, but it would also depend on if you're always running the machine under high levels of load to cause it to spit out hot air all the time.
@@JarrodsTech Ok, thank you for consultation. I'll go with the assumption that i5 might not get as hot as the i7.
Anyone reading this in the future, lookup "Dell G3 3590 hinge issue" online. Look at the 6:07 mark on the video, see how the bottom left and right corners of the screen gets hot? That's exactly where the hinges are, it's possible from all of the expansion and contraction of the plastic where the hinges are, it causes the threaded inserts to get dislodged from the back frame of the plastic. Most 3590 owners will have issues with their hinges dislodging from the back frame. However, I have not yet seen any cases of the screen itself from being affected.
Will you be doing a review on the Aero 17 240hz laptop when it comes out later in the year?
Yes, it should be arriving any day now.
What did you use to undervolt? I've tried Throttlestop and XTU. Neither of them worked as there seems to be something blocking me from being able to undervolt. In XTU the undervolting area is greyed out, and in Throttlestop when I select how much I want to undervolt those settings don't apply.
I use XTU, Throttlestop should also work, not sure why it's greyed out if it's an Intel platform.
I had bought this laptop in September and it was very good but for some reason it's not cooling as well as before. I never went higher than 72 when playing overwatch but now every game has me at almost 80 forcing me to play at the lowest of settings put it still heats up alot. This laptop has a very short life I feel
Maybe the room temp is higher than before, or over time it's built up dust inside, worth opening up and cleaning.
Throttling CPU n nerfed Max q GPU, dell G3 2019 has not come to the party of Helios n y540
Might be more worthwhile at the lower spec/price range, but yeah those two are both cheaper than this spec and non Max-Q graphics.
please help i have the same laptop with the same specs. but i have the linux version and i downloaded the windows 10 and every thing works fine. but i do not have the F7 'G' button what should i do to get it?
What application did you use to undervolt the cpu? I have Intel XTU but it does not let me adjust the voltage offset...
Hey Jarrod, is there a difference in screen quality between g3 and g7 ?
im super confused as ill be using it for video editing purpose
I can't recall off the top of my head, but yes probably - I have colour gamut, brightness, contrast and bleed results in my review videos of each (G3 review linked in the description of this video, you'll have to search the channel for the G7 I'm on a plane right now so can't grab it).
My I5 G3 hits 100c almost instantly under light like loads (war robots on Memu emulator). It drops to 60c just as quickly, I presume because of throttling because I never even hear the fans kick into high speed. Is there a way I can keep the fans running high to prevent the throttling?
All you can do is try lower the ambient room temp, use a cooling pad/stand, change thermal paste. Don't think there's much you can do to the fans in software unfortunately.
I managed to use alienware command center to make a custom thing where the fans are on 100% all the time
I just picked this exact model for 500usd. Can't wait until it arrives.
Nice, let us know how it goes!
Jarrod'sTech so I've got it in hand and I've tried it out for a day and I've noticed that when it's unplugged, it became really limited in performance. Did you have a similar issue? Under a stress test, it would instantly throttle to 1.9GHz even though thermally it was at 60-70 degrees and in games, the FPS in Overwatch would go from 130 when plugged in to 20-30FPS on battery. The GPU is still at 100% usage so I assume clock speeds also drop heavily. I've searched every setting I could. Maybe I overlooked one.
Did you by any chance test on battery for the sake of it? I just don't know if it's a hard power limit, maybe the battery can't provide that much power.
@@Derpuwolf Yes that's normal with pretty much all laptops, batteries are not able to provide full performance, that's why I don't even bother testing battery performance in my reviews - well except when I do the witcher 3 to test battery life, but I cap it to 30 FPS and I don't monitor clock speed. Basically if you're playing games, plug into power for best performance, that'll be the case regardless of laptop.
Don't worry jarrod we will get you to 400K subscribers
Can you also review the DELL inspiron 7590? The new model with "gaming" specs and 97Whr battery.
Not sure, depends what they have available to lend me, we'll see.
Can I use cooling pad for G3-3500 ..?
And which cooling pad I choose to buy ..??
So the 9300H would honestly be a better option for this laptop with that kind of PL throttling, never mind the thermal throttling, though it would still be worth pairing it with the 1660 Ti Max-Q graphics.
Maybe, this would still perform better in multicore, depends what workloads you're doing.
zgoaty92 idk if mines faulty, but i have the gtx 1050 i5-9300h and i’m about to return it. it’s so frustrating i wait 5 minutes for an app to open while it’s frozen and i can’t do anything. even on a game not as demanding like fortnite i get 144 frames on low settings, but every 3 seconds it freezes for 5 seconds. stutters are horrible, i’ve tried undervolting, everything. annoying laptop.
Ren Sounds to me like the thermal paste application from the factory wasn’t done right and it’s very possible the CPU is overheating from startup. If you got a warranty from the website, definitely get it replaced or return it and get something else. If you can expend the additional money, try going the extra mile and pick up a laptop with an i7 9750H and full 1660 Ti, as it won’t really cost too much more on average, and you’ll get much better performance, especially if you go with the one from Acer.
zgoaty92 thanks for the help :-) was thinking about the asus laptop zephyrus g i think with i7 and 1660ti with 144 hz panel. total upgrade, appreciate it.
In case you wanna effectively lower your temps without lots of voltage ajdusting and testing, just disable turbo boost. We did this on my cousin´s laptop (i5 93xxH runs hot like crazy, that´s some crappy implementation of turbo boosting by intel) and temps dropped to 7x°C range for both CPU and GPU. The lower frequency impact depends on type of games you play. He plays mostly GPU demanding games, so it´s okay for him.
I don't like that method, I'd prefer to get the extra performance at the expense of heat, in any case good that it helped you.
I've been looking to buy this laptop, not necessarily for gaming but mainly video editing and photoshop-related work. But the thermals are a cause for concern. Can you suggest any good alternatives within the price range?
Acer nitro 5 if you can deal with the gamer look, if not Lenovo y540, if that's too expensive Lenovo L340 and accept the downsides like single channel ram
@@JarrodsTech Thanks. The Acer Nitro 5 gamer look is a no-no for me. Thr L340 has no integrated card reader and is really low on USB ports. The Y540 too has no card reader.
I may have to take a plunge and deal with the heating on the Dell G3
Huge difference when using cooling pad. I guess the vents are not enough for these fans.
Yeah made one of the biggest differences I've seen with it so far.
cooling pad saving the day
It did surprisingly well here!
I m going to buy a laptop and i m confused wich better worth to buy ?
1- Msi gf63 thin 9rc
2-dell g3 15 3590
I haven't used a 9th gen GF63 so it's hard for me to fairly compare.
Which one did you get eventually, bcoz I'm also considering these exact same two u mentioned.
I got asus rog strix ge503 it was a good choice for me and great experience and good price for a budget gaming pc
The quad core i5 will have better thermals because of the two less cores! But it should get better thermals and clock speeds after repasting!
Yes that's likely.
Hey bro... I'm really confused on which lap i should get. I got two options, rog zephyrus g14 base model or dell G3(like the one you are reviewing, with i7 10th gen, 16gb/512gb, gtx 1660ti 4gb). Which one should i get?
hey so im from iraq and the weather is really hot here, im looking for a laptop with very good cooling system which is around 700$ to 800$ max, what laptop do you advice me? consider long hours of gaming please.
try hp omen 15
Hello, I just bought the exactly same laptop today and it gets hot (100c°) while I'm using it on charge. Is this normal?
I play the evil within 2 and it gets hot (100°c) then I did undervolt and now play at 78°c
@@naruxbox what can i do to undervolt it?
On the warmer side, undervolting may help, here's a guide: ruclips.net/video/yNt9L3BWOFo/видео.html
I am planning to buy this laptop with a Core i7 and 1660 ti. I will use it for games like LOL, pubg and some video editing for youtube. Should I consider this laptop or the Lenovo y540 with a higher price just for heating purposes?. I don't mind using a fan pad for the dell g3 if it will perform properly. Please answer my question as it will improve my decision!.
What you will suggest for gaming
Dell g3 or acer nitro 5 ?
Which one is best..?
Waiting for a comparison with lenovo y540 ❤️
I'll see what I can do
It looks like thermal performance not as bad as i thought. May be I will replace my old Nitro 5 with new G3... or new Omen 15, it depends on price.
It's not terrible, but yeah at this spec level for the money there are cheaper options with non Max-Q graphics worth considering such as the Helios 300 or Lenovo Y540.
@@JarrodsTech one advantage of this laptop - it's silent at idle, which can't be said about Helios 300, Bob complained about noise from it at idle and you can't make it any lower as the lowest RPM is still too high.
I've had mine for 1 year, and something happened with the fans and now it overheats whenever I play a game that barely has detail and it takes a million years to cool up after it overheats, I think my fans broke, I need help, and dell support did nothing about it.
Hey Jarrod! Just wondering which one you recommend more, Helios 300 (2060 version) or Triton 500 (2060 version) from Acer Predator?
Helios 300 is a better pick
Helios 300 is about $100 cheaper and performs better at stock. If you need TB3 the Triton 500 is the only option, and higher tier GPUs also give you the option of G-Sync, and it's a little thinner.
@@JarrodsTech thanks!
Can you please tell me what cooling pad you used?
It's linked in the description.
What cooling pad you are using?
35W lock and still 90C temperature
36W 😎 though to be clear the dell power manager software dynamically adjusted it between 0.5 values up/down as needed, with non sustained multicore load it'd probably be higher.
what did I tell you? even lower than I expected. Last year's model easily boosted to 45 watts in games.
@@TabalugaDragon cooling looks better then old. may be problem is termopaste
@@iraklimgeladze5223 Bob also reports worse cooling, as well as people who bought it. still could be a worse paste job though. Also a cooling pad is a life saver for this laptop, surprisingly
@_x.Saurabh.x_ I know I reported that in my review 😎
I am planning to buy this laptop.
Usage: Android Development, Light game development, Light editing on After effects, and moderate gaming.
I am currently using an Asus K555L which has been shit with its built quality and heating issues.
I am confused about whether or not this is a reliable option (i5 9th gen with 1650) or should I go for the Inspiron 15 5590 i5 10th gen.
if there is any other laptop in a similar range i.e under 930$ please suggest.
After the terrible quality of the Asus, reliability and quality are a big deal for me.
Thank you in Advance :)
how fo you apply the underbolt un the cpu? 🤔
Try this guide: ruclips.net/video/yNt9L3BWOFo/видео.html
Hey Jarrod, recently bought a G3 with a 1650, based on this would you recommend me to get a cooling pad or do you think it would be an unnecessary waste of money?
I don't think it needs it. I didn't have thermal limits with the G3 even with 1660 Ti Max-Q and i7, granted the G3 seems to cut its power limits to prevent it getting hot so maybe with more cooling it might boost the power limits and perform a bit better, but I probably covered that in this video and just don't remember 😅
@@JarrodsTech Alright, thank you
where is the air intake, is at at its bottom ???

I m confused what to buy?......acer nitro or dell g3 for little gaming and 3d rendering purposes
Bro I have same laptop and it is always above 80c in any game reched 100c in dell g3 any fix help
There is no way to fix this issue unless you buy yourself a cooling pad for your laptop, that will slightly decrease the temperatures down.
Playlist - How hot does it get (pun intended😂)
Maybe I should rename it!
So you can't even get full 4.0Ghz performance in games due to stupid power limits? Fantastic.
Depends on the game.
When are you going to review hp omen 15-dh0105tx (hp omen 15 2019)?
No plans at the moment, unfortunately HP do not seem to lend out review units in Australia and they are too expensive in my country for me to buy just to test at the moment.
What is the cooling pad you are using ?
And will you make a comparision between helios 300 and y540 ?
It's linked in the description. Yes, I finished editing that comparison today, it's scheduled for Monday 12th 9pm AEST (three days from when this video went live).
Dell G3 - 3590 VS Acer Nitro 5. What should I choose?
Thank you 🌹
No problem!
Are thermals any better than 2018 model?
To be honest I cannot remember the results, however I have an older video doing similar testing on that one here you could compare with (just keep in mind possible differences to ambient room temp, generally 1c increase to room temp = 1c increase to internals): ruclips.net/video/StvD4iJHwJI/видео.html
it is significantly better, the 2018 one was a disaster and i received tons of recommendations of not buying it
@@nhatminhang551 There were so many positive reviews about it so I bought it.
can you please me if there will be no problem if i turn off the turbo boost at the bios? i saw in some videos that it will increase the game performace thanks
I think the laptop gets too hot most of the time when gaming and the fan is too loud. I have had mine for 3 1/2 years now and while some games just play with minimal problems, the fan and heat is very excessive when playing most games. I have no idea how to get it to cool down, and some games make my cpu/gpu overheat to the point of restarting because of overheat. I have no idea why this happens but I think it just does it just because it does it without reason. I think it was even responsible for one of my hinges breaking because it gets mostly hot towards the top of the lower part of the pc and also I could imagine the heat weakened it. And my warranty is up so I can no longer ask Dell or anyone to fix said issues or help me out.
Hi I got the same cpu when doing nothing my cpu temperature reaches 100c and 4ghz
Darryl Bennett if it’s getting 100c while doing nothing then I suggest you return it and get another one.
Just picked up the i5 9300h model with the 1660 ti Max-Q today and so far I like it. It definitely runs a little hot.
Cool, hope it goes well!
Jarrod'sTech still playing with the undervolt but Im pretty happy for $800.
Do you still like it? I’m thinking of getting one. Thanks
Next video acer nitro5 vs dell g3 may be can you?
I've found a good variant - Dell G3 3590 with i5 9300h and 1660ti, price is 675$, while in stores 1045$. Can you recommend it for such a price?
Sounds alright to me, not worth paying for the i7 if you just use it in games.
@@JarrodsTech so i want to take it for games, undervolt cpu, change thermal grease and buy cooling pad. Is it a good variant?
are there any difference in specs between the blue one and the red one? or its only color?
Nah its just the color
can we decrease the heating by changing the heatsink
Which one would you recommend to me?
HP OMEN - i5-9300h, 8gb ram, 512ssd, nvidia gtx 1650.
DELL G3(2019) - i5-9300h, 8gb ram, 512ssd, nvidia gtx 1660TI.
Never tested HP, but the 1660 Ti smashes the 1650.
If the choice
DELL G3(2019) I5-9300H ,8GB RAM, 512SSD , NVIDIA GTX1650
Asus Tuf A15 Ryzen 5 4600H ,8GB Ram ,512ssd ,nvidia GTX1650TI.
Recomended please, with asumtion better colling system.
Repasting and puting thermal pads on the cooling pipes took my Dell from 95-100 celcius to 67-76 celcius under combined load
Can you please go into more detail? I have tried everything including replacing my thermal paste this morning and I still am getting massive throttling.
Could you please tell me which model of cooling pad did you use for this laptop?
This one ruclips.net/video/Zx2EnUD-DoM/видео.html
What ever happened to you getting the Alienware M15 R2 for review?
The last update I had was 23 hours ago: "We haven’t received the units as of yet however will be in touch with you as soon as they arrive." basically they don't have them, but were expecting to get them last week.
Just what i need
Woohoo!
As usual a new Throttling gaming laptop.
Blame Intel.
Thanks!
No problem!
Hi, im new to Dell laptop and bought this one...how do you turn on the fan of this laptop? It is, like, automatic or sumthing?
Find for 'Dell Power Manager' and change the settings there, I am a bit late yes
Does anyone know the thickness of the thermal pads corresponding to this model?
What cooling pad are you using? I have this same laptop I purchased back in dec 2019 and I've played games about 7 or 8 times on it because it's such a hot boy. It's loud and I just turn it off and get on my desktop. Now I have a trip coming up and I need this machine. Can anyone assist me with any good cooling pads?
man i wanna ask something this or i5 9300h 1660 ti max q hp pavilion gaming which one would i choose
idk why but my 4 core laptop cpu that has 45 watts tdp sometimes reaches around 60 watts and reaches 100 c
Wich cooling pad you use? Seems gorgerous
It's linked in the description.
dont use G button , temp sucks more it goes 99 when i use G button
Does dell have any gaming laptop that doesnt have problems with thermals? To be fair is a quiet laptop but still throttles
G7 wasn't too bad compared to the G5 from what I remember, otherwise haven't tried the new AW stuff yet.
The temperature is besser with the i5?
I would expect so.
I love how you randomly wrote in german bruh
@@user-hc7qb6zy5x haha fuck sorry
I brought it today and I had to search for heating problem I did not play any games nor did any heavy job and temperature is already 50C
EDIT: I used G3 mode for a while and temperature dropped to 42C
i have the same one but run at Hight temps ...im thinking on use liquid metal instead of thermal pase it is a good idea ... or a cooling pad is enough
Start with the cooling pad and see how that goes. As for liquid metal, you'll have to research the materials used by the laptop, because liquid metal doesn't work with all laptops.
It does many noise?
You can hear the fan noise in the video.

So if I do a -0.150 undervolt on the exact same one, the gaming performance shouldn’t change right?
It should improve if there is throttling.
Hey ,. I bought this laptop 6 months ago and when I turn it on it tells me the GPU fan is malfunctioning. I haven't drop the computer or anything. I already updated all the bios and drivers. Anyone knows what can I do?? Thanks for the help
Its a dell, use your warranty
@Guilleman86 have you had any hinge issues?
Is this laptop having fingerprint ?
How can I overclock this specific laptop? I have the same one
The process is the same regardless of laptop, nothing specific. Just look for a generic guide on using MSI Afterburner for a laptop, all you do is boost the core/memory speeds until you get crashes, then back it off.
Estiven Cabrera if you are talking about overclocking the laptops CPU, there is no way to do this and you wouldn’t want to do it anyway, look into undervolting
Even i have this laptop with i5 9th gen and gtx 1650...Is it safe to use this at 80+ degree for processor constantly...is it safe in a long term? Someone plz tell me
Someone, please tell me which one is better. Acer Nitro 5 or the Dell g3 for a 1650 graphics card. Please explain why also if you could.
Probably Nitro 5. I'm still in the middle of testing it (videos will be up next week), but the CPU has higher power limits so CPU performance is higher than what I saw in the G3.
Jarrod'sTech Thanks for the reply. The thing I'm most worried about is heat. My friend said he got a dell g5 last year and it heats up so bad that the performance drops. Which out the 2 laptops heat more. I saw your heating test on the g3, it seemed pretty hot but I've seen multiple reviews of the nitro 5 saying it hits 90 degrees easy too. I'm going to uni next year so I want a more reliable laptop that can play games here and there, a few hours at a time if it can. Would you still recommend the Nitro 5 nonetheless? You're a life saver :D
My Nitro 5 did thermal throttle while gaming at stock fans, but by boosting the fan speed it was fine, my detailed thermal testing video is scheduled for the 29th which will have all the details.
Do you recommend this or the MSI Gv62 8RE both have 1060 thx and similar specs I’m mainly interested in getting it for VR
The 1060 should be ok I think it's the minimum requirement for VR. I don't know if I've tested that one so hard to say, might have a review on it from 2 years ago but not sure, either way too long ago for me to comment on you'd have to check for the video.
