I am running a Dell XPS 15 (9570) and am trying to get a 120hz ultrawide working on it (only for esport titles, csgo, lol etc.). The only problem is that since it is running an optimus enabled GPU, the hdmi port is wired to the iGPU which does not support high refresh rates. I tried a TB3 dock (Dell 6000) but that one does not pass the GPU through, it uses a DisplayLink driver that does not support anything above 75hz at less that 1080p. HDo you guys know of a way to get high refresh rates working through a TB3 dock, like the TB16 from Dell that directly passes through the GPU or is the only way to get an external GPU box?

It has completely broken the payment system. I cannot even add a card on the website. Also just canceled my current subscription.

Yep, it would be tilting or just a bit off to any direction (too much top, aka extra besel inside the outer besel)

I wish they had it with a 1440p touch screen, good balance between the two and scaling is not needed. I have a surface pro 4 so scaling issues are not a new thing for me. The upsides of the 4k screen are pretty compelling: touch capability, fit more crap on the screen, higher brightness and better color accuracy. But ofc. the problem of drastically reducing the battery life is a big downside. But I have been reading from some users that the 1080 panel can be miss-aligned out of the factory making it a tough decision to choose between them.

Yeah, I was planning to use Throttlestop to lower the temps a bit and then consider if I would actually need to repaste it. I was hoping that Dell would have fixed the wifi problem (If it is on their side), else I would just buy it, not that big deal. Did you have any issues with the keyboard or the track pad not being recognized as a windows precision track pad?

But all of them have pretty bad build quality compared to the dell

I would not want to go much over 2kg and must last at least 5h under light loads.

My budget is about 2200 USD or 1900 pounds, I am studying computer science and need to be able to run a linux vm without the machine breaking a sweat. My cyrrent method is running an old machine at home and using teamviewer or SSH to access it... Elegant right? The machine should also be able to run basic games. Nothing fancy, the 1050ti MaxQ is plenty. The big battery is pretty much a must have feature. The weight should be ~2kg. The laptop must also be built well, I had a Gigabyte laptop that was great price to performance but had crap build quality. The screen got scratched from the keyboard and the keyboard flexed ~3 mm. Plus it was like a jet engine when idling. So i'm not going that route again.

I have been thinking about buying the new XPS 15 (9570) with the i7 six core but am pretty torn on if I should risk buying it or hold on for a little longer. I have not seen any videos or articles about long term usage of this device. Pretty much all review-site reviews are very positive yet it has 3 stars on amazon and many customers are talking about screen flickering, wifi instability, blue screening, buggy GPU drivers and more. Plus it has basically no VRM cooling and a pretty lackluster cooler for a device this powerful. This is a very expensive device and I would need to buy it from the UK or US because prices in Iceland are INSANE on this laptop (30-40% more expensive) thus getting a replacement model becomes a little more tricky if something goes wrong. Has anyone bought this device and how has the experience been?

This is so cool technology. The best part about it is the ridiculously short distance of needs to be from the wall. It makes me wander what the future will bring.

I can´t. I would literally have to cut half the case away because of how the 771 mounting mounts into the case but not to a backplate
-
This should work, but the cpu would run above the maximum allowed temperature

I have gotten my hands on an old HP XW8400 dual CPU server. I bought two intel x5365 CPU's which have a tdp of 150 watts. The machine had only one CPU installed so I scavenged another 771 cooler (this one does not fit, the screw is too small and the threads are different). The cpu cooler that was in the machine had been performing reasonably well before I upgraded with temps around 30°C. But this cpu was around 65 watts so when I used it to cool the x5365 it did horribly, idling at 50-60°C (Tcase is 62°C) so that does not work. I can not find anything that fits on a socket 771 that could possibly cool this beast. Pulling a Linus on this build and using zip-ties will not work because of the way 771 coolers are mounted to the case itself. The only solution I could find is to buy a complete water loop. That would just be stupid because it would be more expensive then the whole system combined. All ideas are welcome even tho they seem super stupid.

Is my cpu bottle necking my GPU

Settings are high and all filtering is at 2x for the test (forgot to screenshot that and don´t want to wait 10 min to log in again) I am not doing anything and just standing still. If anything happens, explosions or something fps plummits. GTA5 2016-04-02 22-43-30-91.bmp
