Best praise vs top criticism for Dell G15 5515
Best Praise
+4 pts“100 degrees is still within spec for the components.....not really a problem. And you can adjust the thermal settings if you really feel the need for lower temps. Or lower voltage as others have mentioned. Each manufacturer decides how to manage temperatures and how close to run to the maximums by default. Some lower the TDP of the components, some don't. But it all can be managed/adjusted on any machine. I have the G15 with a 3050Ti and it is completely silent when I am not gamiong.When gaming the fans run, But I can control the balance with the software tools. But generally I am fne with the defaults. My temps max out at around 90 and are usually in the high 70s low 80s.”
