    Going to repaste this from the last 8th Gen thread (doesnt just apply to this model or manufacturer, its an Intel 8th chip thing - i own both an 8th Gen Laptop and Desktop personally and recommend at least repasting, i do it on any PC's/laptops that come my way for repair, that are more than year old, and regardless of CPU)…..expanded it a bit to hopefully explain better, as theres nothing wrong with, and i feel no shame, using older gear, ive been in IT 35 years and do not have to have the "latest" to work efficiently

    So, be aware (but not alarmed):

    Anything with an 8th Gen laptop CPU in it is going to thermal throttle, even if you re-(thermal)paste it (which you should do anyways)

    Mitigations:

    1) Repaste the CPU (which you should do anyways as it dries out and migrates off the chip over time - and VERY rare to find any secondsies laptops or PC's being resold where this will have been done already). Most laptops will have a disassembly guide at either https://www.ifixit.com/Guide or via searching on youtube. You'll need to know your model info, usually on the laptop, either clearly visible on the unit top case or screen bezel, or on a label on bottom (or sometimes underneath the battery). Luckily most laptops just require the bottom of the case removed to access the heatsink and CPU. Desktop PC's are easier. Noctua NH-1 Thermal Compound (the older of the two formulas is my preferred, it doesnt migrate as much as the newer version) - worth every cent.

    2) Clean the exhaust fan(s) - critical on a laptop - use canned compress air, and where there may be caked on dust, try a medium toothbrush with isopropyl alcohol. If youve already got access to the CPU as per guide suggestions above, no reason to skip this….

    3) Consider a laptop cooling pad - to elevate the base of the laptop higher off the surface you use it on. You do not need one with 3 USB powered fans (which may overburden and burn out a single USB port) and wanky lights, you just need to get more fresh air under the laptop.

    The 3 tips above will solve the most common overheating issues - getting heat out of the CPU, and out of the case

    4) For those willing to read documentation/experiment/fiddle:

    You can mitigate the high temps somewhat (but not the throttling completely - its the design limits) with these, in order of faffing about:

    Fan utilities:

    Dell: Possibly this (because Dell are terrible at letting you control fans:

    https://github.com/AaronKelley/DellFanManagement

    And for some other common (older laptops) For newer models, you may need to create your own profile with the tools included, not for novices:

    https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc

    Other fan utilities may be available that are more or directly suitable for your device, by googling or searching github. The two above are just the most common i use, for older laptops…

    Undervolting:

    You can mitigate the high temps (but not the throttling completely, particularly the laptop chips, as they have a fixed 20W TDP limit from memory) with this to undervolt:

    https://www.techpowerup.com/download/techpowerup-throttlesto…

    Read the guide and baby steps when it comes to undervolting, NEVER try and blanket apply what other people may post in forums….

    Undervolting will often result in less heat, which of course reduces the worst of the throttling

      All great tips and I do similar. For the dust can also use makeup brushes to get into smaller spaces.

      The one additional thing I tend to do is replace the battery on laptops. Most will be in the 20-40% life left (about 2-3 hrs before 0%) and rather than risk a leaky battery later I just order a replacement from a 3rd party usually in the $70-80 mark these days.

      Other good upgrades depending on use case:
      1. Upping the RAM to 16 GB (if not already there)
      2. SSD update to 1 TB (about $99)
      3. WLAN card upgrade if you have Wifi 6E but I find Wifi 5 is fine for me most of the time.

      And pretty much go over with IPA and paper towels on all surfaces.

      I happily use a second hand XPS8930 i7-8700 which I got at a bargain price, the case is a heat trap so I keep the side panel off, it does everything fine including 1080p gaming only bottlenecked by the 6650xt gpu.

    Hi rep - pleased with the last i7 AIO from you guys … do these come with the HDMI in port by any chance?

    • Associatedhunterzz @ Bufferstock on 25/09/2023 - 15:22

      yes comes with 2 x HDMI ( 1 x HDMI IN) and 1x DP port

    Hi, I missed Dell 7450 AIO i7-7700 3.6GHz 16GB RAM 256GB SSD 24" Touchscreen. So have question for this model, is this good enough to do for learning Software Programming like C#, Python etc. Or better try to get Dell 7450 AIO i7-7700.

    • pw2002au on 25/09/2023 - 15:40

      Personally I'd go for this one if you dont need / want touch screen. Ive got greasy finger prints over the screen from batocera and the 5 year old that need constantly wiping off. This has a fully supported Windows 11 processor vs the 7450 (It doesnt mean much but at least its another tick in the box). Not that Ive had any issues with the 7450 from this vendor.

    We have some of these at work they sound like jet engines

      I agree, they're super loud & annoying so I wouldn't even consider using one of these in a quiet environment.
      No amount of replacing thermal paste, or even swapping to a lower power 35watt CPU made the fan noise bearable.

  • Melthar on 25/09/2023 - 16:59

    So the M700 is a SATA M2 drive? The M710Q specifies NVME.

    • Associatedhunterzz @ Bufferstock on 25/09/2023 - 17:57

      yes , m700 comes with M.2 drive , M710q comes with Nvme drive

  • neverlate on 25/09/2023 - 18:41

    with these aio's, can i turn off the monitor part only?

  • artxty on 26/09/2023 - 09:29

    hi Rep, can you confirm if this Dell 7460 AIO you are selling has a camera?

    • Associatedhunterzz @ Bufferstock on 26/09/2023 - 09:40

      yes comes with camera

      • [Deactivated] on 06/10/2023 - 12:42

        Does it have inbuilt speakers?

  • truffle on 04/10/2023 - 18:32

    I bought this PC and while it was in good condition and the order processed quickly, buyers should note that the network adapter card is an Intel AC 7260. This was always a troublesome card (some say the worst - Google it) and is no longer supported by Intel or Dell. I (and countless others) could not access my home network and you will need to use the wired ethernet socket or use an alternative method to access a WORKING wireless network connection. The card cannot be updated or drivers sourced.

      @truffle
      Does the 7460 AIO have inbuilt speakers?
