Dell Precision 5540 In-Depth Review with Internals Peak

[@johnbovay8353]

I recently acquired a Dell Precision 5540 (Intel Core i7-9850H, 32 GB, NVIDIA Quadro T2000, final UEFI version) that runs w-a-y too hot (at 100 C+) with high fan RPMs due to the processor's Turbo Boost feature over-responding to every relatively slight demand for more processing power. The solution was to disable Turbo Boost / a de facto Intel sanctioned and temporary, automated overclocking tool that causes short term overheating, random system destabilization and ultimately a service life reduction when mounted into thin laptops whose cooling solution can't keep up to modern hot-running Intel processors. After disabling Turbo Boost, my '5540 now runs as cool & quiet and responsive as it should've in the first place.

[@jaimetallica2007]

I am thinking of adquiring one in USA next week. How did you disable the Turbo Boost? Is it upgradable? (the network card, seller told me it comes with wifi5 and I want to upgrade it to wifi6). Any other general info you can provide is highly appreciated! Cheers!

[@johnbovay8353]

@@jaimetallica2007 Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 can be disabled in the Dell Precision 5540's UEFI / BIOS. Its WiFi card can be upgraded to an Intel AX200 WiFi 6 or an Intel AX210 Wifi 6e M.2 2230 card. Find the Precision 5540's service guide by searching: Dell Precision 5540 drivers. Crucial sells RAM and NvMe and SATA SSDs for it. Buy the ones that have the best TBW rating for a longer service life. Get one from Dell REFURBISHED.

How is it now a couple months down the line

[@johnbovay8353]

@@sap9378 Due to a fine silica grit from a construction site outside my window, my Precision 5540's keyboard switches have begun making a random poor contact. I have some compressed air and keyboard protector on order. Otherwise, my Dell runs well. In hindsight, and given said grit, I would've went for a Dell Latitude Rugged Extreme which is designed to thwart dust and water incursion.

[@Alex.Hilman]

​​@@johnbovay8353I'm going to buy the Core i9 version (9980HK up to 5 ghz) with a 4K and touch screen. Is it really worth buying for roughly 800$? I heard some thermal issues from it but I want to use a cooling pad in order to maintain the performance. Right now I'm skeptical between this and a fresh new ASUS Vivobook with Ryzen 7 7770U. I also heard that if Windows 12 comes out, it will not support these kinds of old aged processors anymore

[@nyinyinyanlin5610]

Thanks for your review. Actually i am looking for laptop preferring to use Autocad and Revit 3D modelling. I am still on the fence choosing Dell precision 5540 and xps 15 i9 . But i also heard that i9 have heating up issue and let me hear your advice, please. Thanks

[@BsianTech]

Hi Nyi Nyi Nyan Lin, welcome to my videos. If you have the budget for it go with the Precision 5540 over the XPS 15. The Precision has optimizations for the Autocad and Revit which does enhance the speed and experience compare to the XPS. Secondly the graphics is different, XPS has Geforce and Precision is Quadro. Geforce may sometimes be faster but the Quadro range is for professional software like the two you use, so it is built with error correction meaning more software stability and also can run for hours on end. As for i9 having heating issues well it does a decent job at cooling but the Dell Precision 7540 has way better cooling solution which allows the processor to run even quicker, the downside is it's not as thin and light compare to the 5540. Another factor of the Precision vs XPS is that XPS is built for consumer where as Precision is built for business to handle more physical abuse and designed to run at longer operating hours. Of course for stability and toughness you pay for the premium for Precision over the XPS. I hope this helps your purchase.

[@nyinyinyanlin5610]

انا من دوله مصر احببت جدا هذه المراجعة ❤ شكرا جزيلا

[@RubesM]

Great review, I bought it when it came out 2019 and the battery is crap on this machine even at the 9 cell. I actualy had to replaced the whole computer within a year. Dell would not send me a new one, so they ended up giving me a refurbished model. The battery is also a 9 cell and its not last me more than an hour of use. I do graphic work and some video editing. If I leave the house without the AC adapter, I'm pretty much screwed for the day. It runs really hot after a while and the dual fans are consistantly on. It's a nice machine with good specs, but for some reason it just doesnt hold up well in the long run. Now that time as passed, I'll probably look at an M1 max Apple pro system. Considering the price I paid at the time.. around 3'gs ... The M1 max is a little less with crazy performance and quality parts.

[@BsianTech]

Thanks @Ruben H, unfortuntely battery life has not improved on the Precision range at all even the newest ones if you working on it hard you be getting an hour on them too. The new M1 are absolute beast on battery life, Apple made a big game changer doing it. I would only ape into the Apple M1 if your applications you use are native to M1 as word of warning, else good computers especially the new M1 max and pro.

Hi. You mentioned a color calibration profile. I cannot find it in the description

[@stinkfacecheesemonke]

AWESOME review, thanks so much for the in depth look - definitely going to be getting some version of this machine. Do you think a configuration with i7-975H / Quadro T1000 / 32G RAM would work okay for Avid Media Composer (mostly 1080p, some 4k)? In addition to being cheap/broke, my concern was thermal throttling would limits the gains of an i9 and not be worth the extra money.

[@zoftware]

I have the same question...

[@j.lietka9406]

You may or may not know, but the laptop you have there, can you replace the mobo with one a little more powerful?

[@Kuchenrevolution]

is this docking the right one? i thought this one replace the WD15 and for this workstation you need tb16

[@BsianTech]

Hi Kuchenrevolution, the WD15 and TB16 come out nearly the similar time period, the TB16 was the thunderbolt version of the dock. In 2019 Dell brought out the WD19, WD19TB and WD19DC to replace the WD15 and TB16.

[@Lightice1]

I've been trying to figure out where to get the smaller battery and the laptop-sized SATA cable for the second HHD expansion. I'm seriously considering this for my new laptop, but I have to make sure that I can install a second hard drive before making that choice, and not being able to do it out of the box is a bit of a minus. Dell's own site doesn't seem to offer them, at least in any obvious place.

[@BsianTech]

Hi Lightice1, you might have to give Dell a ring as looks like some countries Dell website lock the 2.5” Sata feature away. The physical ability is there in the laptop and it’s listed in the documentation for this computer as well.

[@quandrione]

@BsianDad - good review. Am about to order one through work. Quick question. You mention 9-cell battery but i could only find options of 3 or 6-cell here in Sweden. Is the 9-cell option restricted to some countries?

[@BsianTech]

Hi Aamir Mukhdoomi, welcome to my videos. I am so sorry you are correct there it is only 3 or 6 cell option for the battery, I had a late night recording and got it muddle up there. The one in the review was 6 cell but I was correct being a 97Whr for the larger 6 cell battery. I think you will be very happy with this laptop. I will be sad when I have to return this back to Dell because I really love it.

Is there any thermal throttling with the i9? Cause the xps, which has the same chassis I think, can't deal with a i9.

[@BsianTech]

Hi TMT98, welcome to my videos. The unit I review in the video had an i9-9980HK, I covered the thermal throttling at the mark of 12:44 in the video.

[@paulosiander3156]

Do you think that the thermal (the heat) could be a problem when buying only a i7?

[@BsianTech]

Hi Paul Osiander, do expect some thermal thottling even with the i7 but my personal opinion I expect similar results for the i7-9850H like the i9-9880HK maybe even better as the i9 has 2 more cores than the i7. I think the i7 will sustain a higher turbo boost longer. I have played with the i7-9850H processor from the Latitude 5401 and love it.

[@otaku_baller69]

Well, I was able to find a refurbished version for 54,400 INR or 647.72 USD, It is the i7 9th gen version with Quadro T1000 and 4K touchscreen and most importantly 32 gigs of ram

[@EM-ks5my]

Basically that's a XPS or G5 with a Nvidia GTX 1650. If you got the money, get the RTX model for the XPS or G5. Same layout.

[@BsianTech]

Hi E M, the Precision is based off the XPS design you have that correct but Dell has given it a few more options geared towards Professional work. So three major differences is first being processor can go to Xeon on the Precision where as the XPS is only up to i9 if that is even available in that country too. Second the discrete graphics as you pointed out XPS has Geforce range but the Precision is Quadro range for Nvidia (not sure if the RTX graphics is availble for XPS range yet). Last the Precision has professional software optimization available to it even though the XPS has same hardware it isn't made available to XPS. There is of course a big price difference between the two, mainly due to the discrete graphics in the Precision. I hope that might give a little insight on the product =).

[@andreiherdean]

Hi, I want to perform an unusual “upgrade” on my Precision 5520 laptop. The motherboard of my 5520 is fried, this being the second time this has happened. The first time the laptop was in warranty and Dell took care of it. Now i have to pay for the replacement.. Anyway, I am looking in to placing a 5540 motherboard in the chassis of a 5520. Dell cannot tell me if this is possible, and i have found no one that has done this before. At a glance the two motherboards look 99% -100% identical, at least from online pictures. Do you have in your tech lab these 2 laptops, and could take a look if the motherboards are indeed compatible? Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

[@Eiad.Alhamed]

Looks like this is the one flaw in these workstations. Mine also had its motherboard fried after about a year of use. It kept working, except that the webcam died and processing got slower. Dell is taking care of it, but I guess now we know. I think it's because they easily overheat.

[@David_Denali]

Is the wifi card removable?

[@ShashankPandey]

Very professional review! Going by your review I feel for data analytics Dell Latitude is also enough and it cost like almost half of what it cost for precision. Did I got that right man?

[@BsianTech]

Hi Shashank Pandey, welcome to my videos. It would depend on the type of data analysis you be doing. If you doing very large data sets then the Latitude has maximum capacity of 32BG and the 5540 has 64GB. If the data analysis software is heavily relying on the GPU then you be looking for something more than the GeForce MX150 in the latitude series. So it all depends on the the person’s type and size of data analysis they perform. The Precision series is to go the next step the latitude series isn’t capable of. Would this make sense I hope if you look at the Precision 7000 series you see they have serious configurations of hardware. Also thanks for the feedback as well :).

[@peteh1676]

Really liked your video! I got a limited budget so I bought a Dell 5540 with a i7-9750 and t1000 graphics. Wonder if there is a huge difference between a t1000 and t2000 graphics card as I usually work on autocad and solidworks? And can I potentially upgrade my cpu and graphics card in 5 years? Cheers

[@BsianTech]

Hi Pete H, I'm not an expert at autocad or solidworks but what I hear is the T1000 is fine and it's when you start to do renders and visualize a lot is when you might see the T2000 performance will kick in and if it does its about 5-10%. As for the upgrade of the CPU and Graphics, unfortunately the processor and graphics isn't up-gradable, these are usually soldered to the main board. Congratulations on your purchase, you will love this computer, I did as well when I had it. Thank you also for the feedback =).

@BsianDad - nice and in-depth review! Would you be able to confirm if the 4K touch version of the screen supports Del Active Pen?

[@BsianTech]

@Amit Patil, from the documentation the touch 4K version looks to have a glossy screen rather than the matte screen so has a high chance it will support the Dell Active Pen. As much digging could go it couldn't 100% tell you with my research so I have wrote an email to Dell to confirm. I will get back to you soon on this.

[@the.amitpatil]

@@BsianTechThanks! this seems to be a mystery as the official Dell site is silent on this.

[@BsianTech]

Finally got word from Dell to give me an answer. The Precision 5540 doesn’t support the Dell Active Pen even if it’s the touch 4K glossy screen option in. The Active Pen support is reserved for the 2-in-1 models, you need to wait for the Precision 5540 2-in-1 model if they release that.

[@gauravpuri1164]

Thanks for the review. Looking to buy laptop for data science and ML. Which one to go for Dell Latitude or Precision or any other.

[@BsianTech]

Hi Gaurav Puri, welcome to my videos.This is pretty easy one to answer. This will all come down to price of what you can afford because the price difference between Latitude and Precision is quite a bit. So first off application being ML what you are after is looking for the fastest GPU to help smash out those calculations as it will be better than the CPU for that, of course still get decent CPU to keep up with the GPU but the fastest GPU you can get hold of is your number one friend. In this department alone any Precision will trample (win) over the fastest Latitude you can spec up which would be the Latitude 5501 (keeping both 15" range) having a GPU of MX150. Just make sure you get a minimum of 16GB RAM, better with 32GB for ML depending on how large the datasets are. I hope this helps with your decision.

[@BsianTech]

Hi Ranveer Singh, yes the cost of this laptop isn't on the cheaper end of the spectrum as it was aimed at the high end of the market. As I am in Australia I don't keep an eye out on the Dell US website for pricing so I can't really give you accurate information if there are Black Friday or other specials on the Dell US site. I am hoping one of my US viewers are able to answer your question.

Thanks @@@BsianTech for u r reply... actually iam in India but my sister is in US so the price of laptops in US is cheaper compared to India ....

[@BsianTech]

Wow that I didn't know, then again the price of the laptops are cheaper in US then Australia as well. Just make sure you get a good amount of years of warranty for the computer in your budget. My suggestion is to get about 3-4 years, its worth the money, as it guarantees you have a working computer for those amount of years, and of course consider checking out ProSupport Plus as it has accidental damage cover which covers water damage and well physical damage if you have the budget for it.

[@RANVEERSINGH-if1qh]

Ok @@BsianTech the for the feedback given for me

[@bmballs]

I could see after you opened it how you could upgrade the ram to at least 32gb, how do you get to 64gb?

[@BsianTech]

Hi Brian Balls, the Precision 5540 only has two SoDimm slots for RAM. Each SoDimm slot has maxium capacity of 32GB each. So you will have to replaced the two slots of 16GB Ram sticks (2x 16GB) to 32GB ram sticks (2x 32GB). Hope that makes sense.

I observed a Dell computer with lit keyboard at OfficeMax. Unlike gaming computers the light panel is under the keys and the keys themselves are painted over. I thought this was the wrong keyboard and Dell informed me that the keyboards are windowed to show the light through the letters. Your preview of this model shows what I observed at OfficeMax. Can you tell me if the backlit keyboard has clear windows in the letters to allow light to come through? If not can I order one for this model? Dell just wants me to buy the laptop and seems to tell me anything to that end. Your video is very professional. I like it.

[@BsianTech]

Hi Felix Petitt, your observation is correct with the keys are windowed and painted over so when the light goes through the letter itself. Both the Precision and Latitude series of laptops from Dell have this system for the backlit keyboard. I personally like it because it is evenly lit on every key on the keyboard. As for option on the keyboard you can get a keyboard without backlit or one with backlit. I think it comes with backlit as default.

@@JanVladimirMostert Yes I saw the weird placement of the webcam on the 5530, I would think doing that to make one same frame design for both the normal 5530 and the 5530 2-in-1. Yes last part they need to improve is the speakers, fingers cross for the 5550! Dark ages for Apple.

@@BsianTech I see the 5540 has a developer edition as well which comes pre-loaded with Ubuntu and has RedHat Linux certification. Managed to get my 5530 with Ubuntu which made it an easy choice for me (in fact, it was the only high-end machine i could find that was Linux certified). Tim Cook is killing Apple, they might be making lots of money now extorting and screwing people, but long-term, those people will be jumping ship when they've had enough.

Hi Traverse Rover, I am sure there is high chance the new Precision 5000 will be release soon, personally I think it be another two to three months before we see the new model if you can wait that long then you could see the current 5540 would go on sale or come down in price =).

Usually I use the laptop with power plug around. Working on office application and sometimes photoshop and autocad viewing, and also plan to use for day trading which consists of lots of charts/graphs.

[@BsianTech]

Hi Wai Kit Loo, the office productivity, photoshop and day trading isn't going to push for graphics power. As for the autocad viewing if you just viewing I think you be okay without dedicated graphics. If you were designing that's a different matter. Taking all that into account personally I would go with the Latitude 7400, here is the reason the CPU will be quicker which be easier for all your work, even though its lower on RAM, 16GB should be fine for you unless the spreadsheet you working on are insanely large and you will know already if you struggling on 16GB if your machine already has it. The biggest factor I go with the 7400 is the warranty. It will guarantee you will have a laptop for another 4 years where as the 5510 well it could work for a few days or a year or two and then if any part die you are starting to be out of pocket. That $100 difference between the two is the insurance policy you will have a working computer for 4 years (minus any downtime for repairs). I would trade a little speed if there was any from the 5510 to have a working computer, this is the business decision to make sure that $1k is working $1k unit. I hope that helps you.

[@xavierloo6978]
