Precision 7530 & Precision 7730 owner's thread

I noticed after you update the audio driver to latest and install Maxxwave addio. Do a restart and turn the software on.

 

For your 3200 gskill, you can try the following:
1. Install only 2 chips, that is 32g, see if it works.
2. If work, then refresh the bios, 1.1.7 for example. See if it still works.
3. If still work, then install the rest 2 chips. See if now the 64g 3200 can work or not.
I don’t guarantee it works, but at least you could have a try.

Or you can only use your original ram first, then update the bios. Then install your 64g gskill to see if it works.

 

That's the 4.15GHz.

Will do.

 

Hey!
Recently I have bought 7730 specs:
i9
32gb ram 2666
1tb samsung PM961
Quadro P3200
plus
Thunderbolt Dock

I managed to undervolt it to -0,170 V
Thermals improved before I had all cores throttled and 100 C now I get 90-95 C. HW monitor says 2 cores throttle, XTU says there is no throttling. First run I get around 1300 cinebench 15, looped, around 1250 stable. I get 4,18 mhz max core fequency under load.

If I go under -0,170 cinebench and firestrike works fine, but in userbenchmark there is bluescreen, so I leave it there i think. I am really begginer here, so I can tell you if I am doing this good. I noticed that stress tests are different from each other and with each I get different results.

As comes to thunderbolt dock, I have same issue with mouse freeze, this is really annoying, connecting keyboard and mouse to tb dock is useless.

Ive bought config with fingerprint reader, when I first opened computer there was option in windows settings to use it as login option, after all updates (drivers, windows) this option dissapeared. How can I use this feature?
Thanks for all your posts, they are really helpful

 

I think it is part of Windows Hello. You could open the start menu and type "hello". Do you see an option like "set up fingerprint sign-on"?

 

Mouse is now connected with USB-C to USB connector at dock USB-C port. No mouse lags for several hours now. Screen problem still exists.

 

@Ionising_Radiation I've done the cinebench loops with the undervolt.

 

Beautifully presented, thank you so much.

The 7730 is a machine, therefore, that exceeds 1300 CB points with nary a tweak except an undervolt. Noice.

Have you considered overclocking the notebook, and re-running the single-core test?

 

Confirm that you can see the devices "ControlVault Device -> Dell ControlVault w/ Fignerprint Touch Sensor" and "Biometric devices -> Control Vault w/ Fingerprint Touch Sensor" in device manager. If those devices are missing but you are seeing a USB device with an error, that's because something has gone wrong with ControlVault. I've had this happen twice and was able to fix it with a full shutdown and cold boot. (Disable "Turn on fast startup" in Power Options -> "Choose what the power buttons do", otherwise, when you ask Windows to do a shutdown it really does a logout+hibernate. In these SSD days "fast startup" is not really needed.) I'm not sure why this happens, I've had the fingerprint reader in three past Precision systems and this was not an issue that I ran into.

If you *do* see the devices, you should be able to configure the fingerprint reader in Settings -> Accounts -> Sign-in Options. You will have to turn on Windows Hello and set a PIN, I believe that it normally asks you to do this after you complete the first fingerprint enrollment.

 

I've not considered overclocking. It's already far more powerful than anything I've had before, so I'd rather do efforts to run it cooler than to run it faster.

Also, since ambient temperatures are in the lower 30's out here at the moment, it's less than ideal circumstances for overclocking.
