How much does it cost to Undervolt a Dell XPS 15?

Generally, all the i7-7700HQs on XPS 15 9560’s I’ve seen can undervolt to -125mv for core and cache. I run -125mv on core/care and -75mv on the iGPU. i7-8750H CPUs on the XPS 15 9570 do well at around -120 mV, but I’ve seen some that were onyl stable at around -11- mV to -110 mV.

Why is my Dell so hot?

The most common cause for laptop overheating is due to the lack of heat transfer, which is because there is no air flow in the vents of the laptop. An accumulation of dust in the vents and fans through the cooling channels might be the main reason, blocking the air flow and therefore causing the laptop to overheat.

Why does the XPS 15 9570 only support 3 monitors?

You’re correct that the XPS 15 9570 only supports 3 displays because that’s how many the Intel GPU in that system supports, and since all outputs are wired to the Intel GPU even on systems that have an NVIDIA GPU, its limitation in this regard matters, and the NVIDIA’s capabilities here are irrelevant.

How does the wd19tb work with the XPS 15 9570?

@xTheJoker The XPS 15 9570 is a DisplayPort 1.2/HBR2 system. When the WD19TB is paired with that type of system, half of the total video bandwidth is allocated to the downstream TB3 port at the edge of the dock — not to be confused with the USB-C port near the HDMI output. The other half is shared across all other ports.

Does the XPS 15 9570 support DisplayPort over USB-c/tb3?

The XPS 15 9570 supports DP 1.2/HBR2 over USB-C/TB3, not DP 1.3/HBR3. That matters because the way the WD19TB allocates video bandwidth across its outputs changes based on the DisplayPort revision supported by the host. With a Thunderbolt-capable DP 1.2 system, two full DP 1.2 interfaces come to the dock.
