日本Dell G16 7630 review – its CPU boosts up to 200W
Disassembly, Upgrade options, and Maintenance
To access this notebook’s internals, you need to undo 10 Phillips-head screws. Then, lift the bottom panel away from the chassis. If you plan to access the cooling solution, you need to undo two Phillips-head screws on the inside, and four located on the back of the device.
Our configuration features an 86Wh battery pack. To take it out, unplug the battery connector, and undo the 7 Phillips-head screws that secure the battery to the device.
Memory-wise, you get two SODIMM slots that work with DDR5 RAM. As for storage, there are two M.2 PCIe x4 slots. One of them fits 30mm, while the other fits 80mm drives. They both work with Gen 4 SSDs.
To continue the disassembly you first need to remove the Wi-Fi card. After that, unplug all connectors from the motherboard. Then, remove the USB Type-C metal bracket. The next step includes the removal of 8 Phillips-head screws that secure the motherboard, the two daughterboards, and the fans to the chassis.
As you can see, there are two heat pipes shared between the CPU and the GPU with one more allocated to each of them. A total of four heat sinks and two fans deal with heat dissipation. In addition, it looks like there is a vapor chamber that assists with the cooling process.
This difference in the clocks/power ratio between the G16 and other models with the same CPU is related to the variation in chip quality.
This tested G16 i7 apparently did badly in the silicon lottery.
i agree, we need more sample
good
nice
GPU option is the RTX 4070
I love my Dell 2023 G16. I have the 13650HX and the 4050 GPU for $1199. I have a 13900k and 4090 for video editing videos on my desktop, but I needed a laptop for editing while on vacation and traveling this summer. I would have bought the 4070 variant, but it wasn’t available for another few weeks and I needed something now. After placing my order through Dell.com, I hopped onto Amazon and ordered a WD Black SN850X 2TB and 64GB of Crucial ram for a total of $300 in upgrades. The G16 isn’t thin or light, but it… Read more »
Hey Ryan,
Whats your battery life look like if you just find yourself web browsing/ basic tasks?
Thanks
theres zero heat pipes
