This is THE FIX for the Dell G15 Ryzen Edition!

[@Terafied]

First of all, thanks to all of you guys who suggested solutions and the such, we really appreciate it! Now then, here, we'll just explain a little more of what this BIOS update actually changes. In essence as mentioned in the video, Dell has tweaked the performance and fan profiles of the G15 Ryzen Edition. Previously, on any of the performance profiles or cooling modes, the CPU was able to basically draw 45W under a constant extended load and can grab bursts of power of up to 55W+ for short periods of time. Couple that fact with the really *not-aggressive* fan curve, this basically lead to the sustained temperature of 100C under load. However, it is also to be noted that Dell also sets the maximum temperature to be 100C and that is also the only limit for the system. Thus what happens is that the system allows itself to push however much power is possible as long as it can maintain temperature of 100C and below. With this new BIOS update, that all changes for every profile except G-Mode in Rapid Cool mode. Now, the CPU will only really draw 35W under a constant extended load and has a better fan curve, with the fans spinning up once the CPU hits the 80+C mark. The CPU also tends to maintain clock speeds around the base clock instead of pushing up to 4GHz constantly like before. With these changes, temperatures are now really well controlled even with relatively low fan speeds and especially for gaming, it wouldn't affect your experience for the most part, or at all... (unless you really play a game which is CPU intensive like RTS stuff or you wanna get the absolute highest frames rates in games like CSGO that is...) If you want to access the full power of the Ryzen 7 5800H, you can still do so by using the G-Mode profile in the Rapid Cool mode. This is the one mode that is essentially unchanged and is totally fine as the system can manage the temperatures with the fans at full blast. Now as for the GPU power draw, while the RTX 3060 is rated for 125W, we were seeing it hover mostly around 115W most of the time, no matter the mode. Just something to take note. TL:DR Just update the BIOS and/or reinstall Alienware Command Center if need be. The Dell G15 Ryzen Edition is now a solid gaming laptop that we can wholeheartedly recommend, especially for the price. Happy gaming!

[@fatemehhamounpou1815]

Great Job! You really delivered! Subbed and hit the bell! I have some questions I wanted to ask, not all of them refer to this laptop specifically. some of them may become a video idea idk. Also, were you able to, at any point (even for a second), push the gpu to 125W? Can you do a tutorial on how to turn off the dgpu to save power while gaming on battery? Have you tried "Ryzen Controller"/"Amd APU Tuning Utility" ? how far can we push the APU?

[@patrote]

thankks to u

[@Terafied]

@@fatemehhamounpou1815 We've only seen the GPU hit a peak of 125W before, but it never held a constant 125W. It usually hovers around 115W, no matter the load. As for turning off the dgpu, it's the exact same settings in the BIOS. Turn the Hybrid Graphics ON and you'll be back to running on Optimus. This will provide you the best battery life that laptop has to offer. Talking about the Ryzen Controller, we've yet to try anything with it, so that's something we'll take note of!

Hey man, great content. Do you know if the mux switch is available in the intel (5511) version?

Silly question: if you have the laptop brand new and you turn it on for the first time, do you still need to download the new Bios update? Great video, just like the original review. I ordered the laptop then found the review and now this video. They're the most informative I've found.

It’s interesting the problems with thermals. Out of the box I was getting temps in the 90’s under load and once I reinstalled AWCC and made a custom fan curve my temps are anywhere from 80-95 while gaming. Definitely helped but my temps weren’t like yours during testing.

[@Terafied]

It was certainly interesting for us as well. An experience for sure.

[@T3CKN0G33K]

So to truely fix temp problems on laptops, you really got to take it apart and put new updated thermal paste on all the components as the laptop is always sitting around on a shelf or in a wearhouse waiting to be purchesed. I know I am not a Professional, just a helpful tip as I have had the same issues you guys have. my temps would be around 90*C but now I can get around 74 lowest and highest is 86*C

dell has just released their version 1.4 for the BIOS update.

Temps can climb normally upto 85 C but can also reach 95-97C even in game shift mode if you play certain games on ultra setting that constantly consumes 80-95W of electricity by the RTX card. I noticed if my RTX consumes upto 50-60W then the CPU temps also hovers between 85-90 C'. So I just play games on medium setting to avoid high GPU usage or just use Ryzen Controller.

[@Terafied]

Set it to disabled, of course.

I deleted my home windows to install pro window in this variant but now everything is unusual to me because I am regretting why did I do that .help me how do I reinstall all those g mode software or alien Ware dell software

[@ryuujimutou6829]

does 5511 included in this update ? or is it just on 5515

[@Terafied]

We cannot confirm as we didn't try the 5511. Perhaps you might want to browse the forums.

I updated my Bios to 1.7.1 but Why the mux switch not shows in the bios? (Edited: too bad I'm using 3050TI that explains)

[@strahinjapaunkovic2516]

Is this bios automaticly appied if i buy this laptop today, since I ordered it already? Does updating bios affect warranty?

[@Terafied]

Updating bios doesn’t affect warranty. As for whether it comes with it, it depends on which batch of the G15 you got.

Hi, I saw you state that the Ryzen edition has 115W TDP, but I saw it got to that only after some bios update. Do you know, if the i7 version is also 115W? And also, does this thermal bios update apply to the i7 version also, or is it just for the ryzen edition?

[@Terafied]

We can’t say for the Intel version since we did not try them. Perhaps you can look for other reviews on YT!

[@mikezr4686]

I have the same laptop and when I close the lid i hear the laptop fans /laptop randomly turn on. I tried checking the settings and it should go to sleep when closing lid but theres been issues ? do you suggest anything >>? thanks

[@Absinthe_baby]

Sleep doesn’t actually turn ur laptop off it just disabled certain things. I recommend going into the settings and selecting the option to make the laptop hibernate instead of sleep when you close the lid

[@evandergelera7357]

have you tried ryzen controller? is it safe to use?

[@Terafied]

As far as we remember, we couldn’t get it to work. But we don’t have the laptop any longer, so we can’t vouch for our statement either. Apologies.

[@Kanary_Bird]

Is this update already done if I get a new one today?

[@Terafied]

You can simply check by going into the bios during boot!

[@Pennyinvestormegamind]

The screen is still an issue tho, MVA screen isn't good enough

[@nabilmohamed16]

Is the screen good in color, I want to use it in graphics?

[@Terafied]

For graphics and editing and stuff? It’s doable, but not the best. Definitely not anything professional.

Dell g15 5515 with 3050ti, got amdppm.sys bluescreen, restarts and crashes lately. Can't stay more than 5 minutes after login. Latest BIOS installed. I already tried clean uninstall both gpu driver via DDU, uninstall-reinstall chipset, sfc /scannow. So far no luck. Does anyone have the same problem as me?

[@aasifmojib2386]

Bro is it good to buy dell 5518 or dell g15?

[@brat4fashion]

So disabling the mux switch will kill the battery life?

[@Terafied]

If you disable hybrid graphics, and only run the laptop on the dedicated GPU, battery life takes a hit for sure.

[@sanjayaeranda531]

Are you recommend Dell g15 5511 i7 rtx 3050

[@hexahedron7210]

What would be a better overall laptop, Legion 5 Non-pro with the same specs or this?

[@Terafied]

Comes down to price and offers. Either will perform great.

[@davide_cappelletto]

Is MUX switch available for the intel version with 11th generation intel i7 core as well?

[@Terafied]

We aren’t sure about that since we didn’t get to try that. Do look up other reviews for a better idea!

[@demise3601]

Yes

[@rowback97]

Does anybody know if the G15-5510 has the ability to disable hybrid graphics?

[@theghost7808]

Can you advise me which one is better? Dell G15 gaming or lenovo legion 5 pro

[@Terafied]

Legion 5 Pro, if you want the RTX 3070.

[@Absinthe_baby]

When I disable hybrid graphics amd Radeon software no longer opens, is that supposed to happen?

[@Terafied]

Yea that should be the case since it’s no longer detecting the iGPU.
