    Possibly only for the thinner 5000-series Precisions. The 7000-series Precisions have their lids closed, so we have no idea how they will look like. That said, a 16:10 screen is a great upgrade.

    The launch is about three to four months away (typically July), so if you have to get work done in the interim and require a machine, you might want to get one right now anyway.

    I can confirm that: updated to BIOS 1.8.2 again (after a reset to factory defaults on 1.7.0) and undervolting with XTU is still working.

    This is great news for undervolters. But does it mean that Dell has effectively botched the "security update" and systems are still susceptible to plundervolt? :-\

    Hi, everybody!

    I have added additional SSD in my Precision 7740. It's Samsung ssd, so it's too warm. Temp is ~70-75'C. As I know, it's a lot, it's very high temperature. I have installed this samsung ssd in Slot#4.

    What is the coolest pcie (nvme) slot in Dell presicion 7740? Where to relocate my ssd from slot4?

    Thanks for advices

    Did you take the sticky plastic covering the thermal pad off of the heat spreader before you installed the drive? If you didn't then it would not be transferring heat very well.

    Has anyone tried using G-Sync monitors with your Quadro GPUs? Do Quadros even support G-Sync?

    Maybe silly question but with the display choices that say Aluminum, do you actually get a real aluminum back/lid? Or does that just refer to color?

    Yes, the lid back is solid aluminum. This post has a photo of the lid with the display removed:
