Precision 7510 Owner's Thread

My Precision 7510 (Xeon, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM) shows a very brief lag whenever I close a program, even light ones such as browsers, Office and the like. What can it be due to?

 

Check the CPU frequency. Some Windows versions and Linux distributions do not support Skylake-gen Intel SpeedStep correctly. For that reason my i5-6300HQ under Windows and Ubuntu 14.04 had only 700 MHz per core.

I had to disable C3 states and SpeedStep in BIOS settings.

 

I am using windows 10 Pro. Elsewhere on the internet some people said that it might be a bad driver, or even a defected SSD or graphic card. If it's only a driver problem it may be fixed in future, although in this case I would expect that other 7510 users are experiencing the same issue.

 

Did I ask you which operating system you had used? If you experience lags, it could be CPU frequency problem. It was in my case.

For that reason, would you like to check the frequency? You can use for example CPU-Z. After that disable Intel SpeedStep and C3 states and try again.

 

What is the GPU that you have?

I have the same problem when the AMD firepro is enabled. So I need to disable it to get rid of this freezing. With my laptop it is a complete freeze for a few seconds. The firepro seems to be thinking whether or not to run a program with the GPU enabled.

Still waiting for a replacement of motherboard, SSD and screen. No ETA. Laptop is dead in the water.

 

Owners of the version with the Xeon e5-1535M v5 ... can you please comment on the temperatures that it reachs under very high load (stressing the CPU with prime95, cpuburn or something like that).

For how long is it able to run without throttling the cpu frequency?

 

Well, this review says it can keep a constant turbo under Futurmark and Prime95.

But the review is about the 17' version (Precision 7710).

 

Some people have been asking about the screen. Here you have details of Dell Precision 7510 UHD IZGO display: http://imgur.com/J6YGTAv

+1. Seems to happen sometimes and especially with a small power supply. Even if using the 180 watt power supply I turned off speed step/C3 and that fixed a performance issue on my m4700 (waiting on thunderbolt3).
