- This is a brief video showcasing the Dell G7 7588 two years on, and the logical upgrades that can be made to breathe new life into your system.
Is it worth upgrading your system yet? Or, should you wait for some monumental changes in the laptop hardware industry, such as 10 cores and much faster and more efficient GPUs?
Upgrade list:
-Samsung 970 EVO 500GB
-Crucial 32GB 2666 DDR4 RAM kit (confirm compatibility)
-WD Blue 500GB SATA SSD
-Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut paste
-N156hhe-ga1 screen panel
-Windows 10 Pro - Hry
This is exactly the information I was looking for. I’m handing my G7 down to my 8 year old son and now I understand what upgrades we need to do. Well done!!
Such a great, straight forward video. Thank you so much! Can't believe I never knew I could upgrade my G7 until now.
Thanks for all of your recommendations! I'm starting with the ram upgrade, because I mostly just edit video. next, maybe the panel!
Thanks for the paste idea and the screen replacement. Excellent ideas
Sir.
Thanks for a really informative and easy to follow video. I'm just about to start upgrading my g7 5790 and this will be really helpful.
I really enjoyed this computer . Thank you for the upgrade guide.
Excellent presentation and advice. Thanks!
Welcome!
I had mine for the 2 years and I agree with the thermal paste and been brave since it is a very scary job to do. I got mine with a 128GB m.2 and 1TB HDD and 16GB of Ram so far the specs are good maybe by year 4 I upgrade to 32GB and to a 1TB SSD
Same here. Intend to upgrade ram to 32GB about two years from now.
16gb dual channel (matched 2 modules) is still great. Maybe just upgrade your HDD to SSD or the 128gb m.2 SSD to 512gb or more. That's likely to make a difference.
What are your thoughts on the GPU now the new ones are out.. Still upgrade or build a new rig?
already have 32gb but i have like 256ssd and might get a 512 or a terabyte one
For $300 you can put a 1TB in the m.2 and a 2TB ssd in the 2.5" bay. Leave the external drives at home.
Wow thanks. I bought this g7 new with 8750h. I already upgraded to a 1tb 970 evo and an 860 evo 1t. I upgraded from 16gb to 32gb and it made a noticable difference for gaming. My cpu throttles all the time gaming because of temperature and I had little idea the paste might be that bad. I will put new paste soon. Thanks!!
Welcome! Upgrading the paste is worth it
I'm thinking of changing the screen on my G7 7588, so thanks for all the great info.
One question, would you still recommend this screen or are there better alternatives now?
Thank you so much for the informative videos about the Dell G7 7588! I have the same machine and I find it to run extremely hot while in idle or just simple web sessions. Average temps are around 68 degrees Celsius and highs on 98!! I will probably repaste the CPU and GPU with a new thermal paste soon as I do with all my machines. In comparison, my Asus G750JZ runs very cool. I have seen most of of your videos and there are few questions I would like to ask you.
On your "Managing that HOT i7 8750H while Gaming" video, you use ThrottleStop and only adjust the Turbo Ratio Limits to 30 (max turbo to 3000 GHz) but on Bob of All Trades's video that you also recommend, he takes a different approach and changes other areas like undervolting, etc. He also recommends to dial down the Power mode of the battery from Performance to somewhere in the middle. This last step helped my machine to lower the max temps in general as the clocks are not at max all the time. Why the discrepancy on methods used on your video and Bob's one?
But here is another question.. You also recommend to use Dell Power Manager. On what settings do you keep it while gaming and what settings do you use the W10 native Power mode?
Thanks for your help and take care!
You're very welcome! Glad to know my video was very helpful.
With regards to the difference in methods, I personally find that as long as you limit the clocks it doesn't really matter what Battery Mode you run, the Dell G7 can sometimes downclock it's CPU very aggressively to as low as 0.800MHz so I'd also recommend getting rid of Intel DPTF to reduce this. In general though, different methods work best for different systems, so just keep experimenting and you'll find something that's suitable for you.
I keep it on Ultra Performance mode while gaming because on other modes once the GPU reaches 77 deg C, it begins to lower it's clock speed to maintain this temperature.
@@kakemboluide thank you so much for taking the time to reply. On my G7 while gaming, the temps are actually not that crazy, around 75 ºC on the GPU and 85 ºC on the CPU. What worries me is the CPU temp while idle. After undervolting the CPU, its higher temp got lower but still reaches pics of 88 to 90 ºC, a tad better than before. And summer didn't even start yet... I agree with you that keeping the Dell Power Manager on Ultra (only available for BIOS 1.9.0 or lower as far as I'm aware) gives the best result as the fans work at 100% speed. I wish there was a way to control the fans while in idle so they spin just enough to cool the CPU without the vacuum cleaner sound of the Ultra Setting at all times. I found a few threads at notebookreview that deal with this so I might take a look there and see what I can do. I will leave the links below just in case some one finds it helpful.
Thanks again for all your wonderful videos!!

@@Aitor , I'm very interested in the fan speed control for my G7 7588. Did you succeeded with it? I would be glad if you can share your experiments. Thanks.
@@MOZARTF haven't try yet, sorry. I'm busy with work at the moment. If you have your G7 with BIOS 1.9.0 or lower, I recommend setting the Dell Manager on Ultra as stated before. The fans actually run at 100% only when the CPU gets hot. While idle or doing light stuff like watching youtube, the fans still spin which is a good thing but they are not noisy at all. Temps fluctuate around 50 ºC with slight max peeks of 70 ºC, much better than before.
Hello, sir! I have recently installed the RAM and SSD into my laptop as well. I have noticed an alarmingly high temperature of my existing SSD that is Samsung EVO Plus 970,at 50 to 60 degree Celsius even when I am not gaming. Wanted to put some thermal pad onto it, but I am unsure how the thickness of the thermal pad I should be using or purchasing? Any idea, good sir? I noticed in your previous video regarding the disassembly of the Dell G7 7588, you applied some thermal pad onto the parts near your GPU and CPU.
didnt know you could upgrade it..this'll help me save money instead of getting another laptop wow.
I'll copy paste
Wow thanks. I bought this g7 new with 8750h. I already upgraded to a 1tb 970 evo and an 860 evo 1t. I upgraded from 16gb to 32gb and it made a noticable difference for gaming. My cpu throttles all the time gaming because of temperature and I had little idea the paste might be that bad. I will put new paste soon. Thanks!! I run far cry 5 near everything ultra and it hits 55ish frames but I bet money when I do the paste I'll get ultra settings at at least 60.
Yeah I purchased this back in 2018 and I’ve been wondering if I should sell or not because I didn’t know I could upgrade it.
@@crossnicholson2121 can you upgrade the cpu
@@BadForYourKidneys can you upgrade the cpu
hello brother ive found your upgrade tips very very helpful and ive follwed your tips to the tee. I noticed in the start of this vid the screen shows a 4k watermark. Do you recommend using a 4k screen for this model ?or will it not work?
I think my problem is my graphics it was perfectly great all the time and then the next day it was super laggy and now some games are fuzzy that use to be stunning. Should I do thermal paste and idk if I can
Great video! Thanks! Why is it brave to upgrade the thermal paste? What about GPU and CPU upgrades for this laptop model?
You have to essentially tear down the entire laptop to get to the cpu and gpu. Personally have done it myself and took about 1.5/2 hours
Two years in and I've only had to repair the keyboard. Also did the SSD and ram upgrades.
My keyboard was fucked too, the day I changed it myself I almost had an Heart attack
I would like to change the ssd because what I have is little is a DELL G7 7588 OF 16 RAM, is it possible that I do it myself? Or do I have to go to a technician? What would you recommend? and thank u for this video, is so cool!!!
Hello, i have a Dell G7 8gb and im planning to upgrade to 16gb...should i buy 2x8gb or buy 1x8gb and keep the stock one?
This is reassuring that I can do something to improve our family lap top we bought around 3 years ago. It's used by all of us for regular web browsing stuff and for a little while it was running Sims okay but now we run out of space every time Sims needs to update and I've offloaded pretty much every app I can. Ended up having to uninstall the Sims which was a gift and not received well by my teenage daughter. What would be the first way to improve our situation so we can run games again? RAM? SSD? These are foreign language to me for the most part but I got an idea of where they are in the laptop thanks to youtube videos...
I would like to ask when upgrading memory 2 slots should be equal? 16gb and 16gb? or is it okay the other is 8gb and the second is 16gb? it will become 24gb. I cant buy one time 2x 16gb memory for my dell g7 7588.
Hi, i have this laptop, but i dont know how can i change the keyboard lighting? Its always white color, and i saw in other videos the same laptop with blue lights.
Any experience replacing or upgrading the gpu? I've had mine for 5 almost 6 years and it has begun dying. I probably should have tried replacing the thermal paste a long time ago
I bought my G7 back in the summer of 2018 and had no clue it could handle 32 gbs of ram. So thanks for that tip! I upgraded it to 16gbs at the time and never really had too much of a problem. With it. But I will definetly upgrade to 32gb. I probably need the paste too because my fans run all the time and oscillate every 10 minutes with just the desktop screen on and no programs running. I mainly use it to play shooter games and was looking for a way to get better frames per second. I bought a 240mhz 30'' HDMI monitor and I never use the laptop display. One upgrade I would recommend that isn't really an upgrade is to take the laptop apart every 3 months and clean out all the dust inside of it. Especially the fans and heatsink. You would be suprised at much stuff can get in there even in the cleanest of environments. Good tips N STUFF
yeah i just repasted mine today and my temps are significantly lower and i don't get stuttering in my games.
hey man idk if this interest you but i have the white shell for the dell g7 the top panel and bottom panel and fan cover on ebay. i was using it but got my dell g7 replaced to the 2019 model
Links? I'm interested
I agree with the screen. Wow it's terrible. BTW awesome video. I like that you don't put on an act and you're clear and precise. Is there anyway I can screen record with this laptop?
Yea you can screen record, easily...
I wanted to buy a new screen for it but I can't handle NT pannel... luckily I calibrated it and it's much better now
Is ADATA XPG SX8200 PRO 1 TB a good alternative for SSD?
Anyone else have an issue with this laptop where once they connect headphones the audio only comes out from one side?
Can you please send me the link for the Samsung 970 evo ssd !!
Hi sir.
I have the same laptop as you..
Can I request a list of all the recommended upgrade you got?
Hi, sure thing no problem:
-Samsung 970 EVO 500GB
-Crucial 32GB 2666 DDR4 RAM kit
-WD Blue 500GB SATA SSD
-Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut
-N156hhe-ga1 screen panel
How to restore data and windows to new SSD? I have lot's of license software
Does the SATA SSD work, cause I read the documentation and it said that only SATA HDD and SATA SSHD are supported ??
Why thermal paste for brave only? Does it break down the system?
Thanks so much!
I have been thinking its time for me to do some upgrades to mine. the ssd , ram and been thinking of that panel upgrade since it was new.
mine came with 16Gram and a 512gig nvme ssd, and a 1tb mechanical. my new upgrade parts are, 1tb NVME , a 2-4tb ssd, 32G ram and new panel. and new paste.
@white vamp how did the upgrades go? Worth it?
@@patricecomedy the upgrades went good, but considering the comp is 2 1/2yrs old, I would probably add some $$ to the cost of the upgrades and just get a new laptop, if I was to do it all over.
@@whitevamp1051 that's something I'm considering doing too. The RAM, SSD, HDD, thermal paste and screen updates are about $500 for me all in and I haven't touched the gpu or cpu. That's $500 that could go to a new desktop rig but I'm also thinking the $500 upgrade will so me good for another year or two if I primarily game on the ps5
Does the G7 support faster memory? like the Kingston Technology HyperX Impact 16GB 3200MHz DDR4 CL20 SODIMM for example
Hi, unfortunately no, the max speed the G7 with 8th gen supports is 2666MHz. Also it should be one of the Crucial sticks, as other brands give most people issues.
Is g7-7588 compatible with Samsung 970 evo nvme-pcie gen3 ssd also?
It's mid 2023 I'm still using mine....
is it ok for the laptop to be upgraded to 120hz (from 60)? Wouldn't that mess with the computer?
Upgraded my ram from 8gb to 16gb and SATA SSD to 1TB. Is it possible to upgrade graphics card from Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti to a GTX 1660? Thanks.
Hi, unfortunately no, best option is if you have a Thunderbolt port to use an eGPU with at least a 2060.
Any clue as to why my power adapter suddenly went out? In bios its saying not detected and it looks to be brand new.
Are you using the same model laptop? It may be a faulty one, try and get it replaced if you're still under warranty.
Can i replace the G7 7588 i7-8750h cpu with i7-9750 or this requires soldering? what about replacing the 1060 car with 1650 (i have g3 board so i want to swap both cpu and gpu without soldering. iam not sure if cpu and gpu are soldered or on sockets.
1060 is better than 1650
hey man i just ordered a new 500gig kingston nvme for my g7 but i have no clue on how to shift my os from my existing ssd to the new one. do i clone the existing os to my hdd first and reclone it back to the new ssd after installation? if so, how?
Hi, yes you will need to clone your entire M.2 drive onto a drive on the SATA port, you can use a program like AOMEI Backupper pro or something similar. I have a tutorial on my channel on this:
czcams.com/video/NT0Ue5EvaBo/video.html
You may also use the program Macrium Reflect free to clone your m.2 SSD into a file image you can save to your internal HDD and then restore using the same program.
Surprised you never got the right angle connector to run the power cord behind the laptop. I've used one with my G7 and my old Alienware 18 because the plug runs out the side of both.
great idea, where did you get yours?
@@kakemboluide I use the PWR+ 7.4mm from Amazon.
great video i have the same laptop but with i9
Thanks! The i9 is a beast of a CPU, hope you're able to cool it!
@@kakemboluide i have referred to your heat management video...so with throttlestop I have undervolted -125 mv it also downclocked the cpu to 2.9 ghz
Do you have any problem of some keyboard Letter wiping off?
Just asking
Hi, so far only A key is suffering from wear, the rest are okay.
Can you Increase the brightness after the screen Change?
Yes just make sure you update to latest version of Intel HD Graphics
Hi, i wanted to ask if your laptop's ram runs at full 2666mhz speed or is it running at 1333mhz. I recently upgraded my ram and i have a single slot 16gb 2666mhz ram and it is only running at 1333mhz. also i have the factory came ram which is 2 stick 4gb ram, should i use the 16 gb ram and the 4 gb ram together or should i only use the 16 gb single slot ram. Thanks alot, hope you see this and respond, it would mean alot.
you need 2 RAM that are the same speed...for it to run at 2666mhz
Hello, i was wondering if you could help me. I have the same laptop, without the upgrades, and i have low fps in many games that sould run smoothly. any recomendations?
Maybe the games you are running is using intel integrated graphics by default instead of nvidia. If so, you can change it in nvidia control panel. Otherwise, even the 8gb ram is fairly capable of running almost all games including AAA games fairly decently with medium/high settings.
Could you recommend an SSD 2.5 drive to replace the HDD?
Hi, the Crucial BX500/MX500 and WD Blue are very good options. They are reliable and come from a reputable manufacturer. The Samsungs are good as well but a bit expensive.
So you are saying I can throw in a SATA SSD to replace the HDD? Thx
Yes, I have a 2TB in my 2.5 bay.
Upgrade SSD, upgrade RAM or upgrade thermal paste.
What would be the order of best performance?
Upgrade thermal paste, then RAM, then SSD
I upgraded the SSD to Samsung EVO, and the difference in performance was nothing short of startling. I only recently found out about the thermal paste deterioration, so now I'm preparing to for that ...gulp
great videoooo
what about gpu? can that be upgraded?
Absolute nightmare for me in 2020, a BIOS update meant that it would thermal throttle within minutes of launching a game
Reset BIOS to factory settings in BIOS settings & uncheck the box for Intel Turbo-- That should help. Additionally you can play around with Throttlestop's undervolting settings, though I would look up some guides before you tinker with that. Hope that helps
Hi, I hear somewhere that this laptop have two M2 slots ssd cards. Is that true? And how much Gbs can I have from the M2 cards. Also I want to know if I can install a firecuda sshd hard drive and how much Gbs from it I can have?
Hi, there's only one M.2 slot in this laptop, it supports 4-lane PCIe NVMe drives, so the full 3500MBps read/write is possible. The second drive slot only supports 7mm thick 2.5inch drives, so make sure they are of that thickness or less before purchasing.
Alienware makes a similar machine to this and it DOES have dual M.2 NVME slots. I'm not sure if you could replace the motherboard with the Alienware board. Regarding the SSHD, as long as it is a standard 2.5" laptop drive it should fit. But you can find standard SSD for about the same price as the Firecuda. My 7588 specs are 1TB NVME Samsung 970 and 1TB SATA Samsung 970, 32GB of RAM. I have dual monitors running through a Thunderbolt Docking Station.
Can you drop a link for the portable extendable ssd case plz
Hi, just search for WAVLINK or ORICO NVMe and 2.5" SATA enclosures on Newegg or Amazon
omg, my G7 has a same touchpad issue like yours xD. I have to stick a matte black decal on is to cover a scratch
Hi, mine developed the issue recently, I'm thinking of scraping off the covering entirely.
@@kakemboluide I put a carbon fiber skin on the trackpad. fairly easy and cheap to buy a roll from amazon and cut it
Manan Gujrani i did it same to you, cheap and effective
you undervolt and underclock the cpu right? because i have the same g7, and my temperatures with no underclock are insane, also i need to undervolt my gpu while i'm playing
pt: thaks for the upgrade recommendations
Hi, normally I don't need to underclock, I just do I to have my temperatures super-cool (65-70 deg C on CPU) however I do run a -.224 undervolt. The stock paste is a disaster, try and replace it if you can.
@@kakemboluide yeah i think repaste is the best option
Do you think GtX 1060 is outdated? For this laptop?
I personally don't think so, if you go by the benchmark numbers it may look like it, but cards such as the 1660/1660Ti in real-world performance aren't that much faster. Plus, it's still a 6GB card and the newer cards in the mid-tier didn't get a bump in VRAM.
@@kakemboluide thank you for replying
if you want to take care of the heat issue for free, turn off the turbo boost in the bios --- i just redid thermal paste from mx 4 to mx 6 and turned off the turbo boost and now my max temperature running mount and blade bannerlord on max settings is 81 C
i also turned off C-states
for some reason, mine power limit throttles down to 8-14w even tho the TDP is 45w. Ive tried every software configuration and nothing has made a difference, plz halp
Hi, I have done a video on getting rid of Intel DPTF, check it out and let me know if that works, that's probably what's causing the performance issues.
I have the same laptop and it becomes so laggy and hot when I play for like so little how can I fix this?
I dealt with that issue for years, then I got some compressed air to blast all the dust out of the fans. I took the back off and sprayed all around the fans on both sides, and now the laptop works great! You might also have to get a new heatsink for the laptop which would require extra work to fix but I would start with compressed air.
Any body know how many ohms the headphone jack can put out? For powering a headset
No idea on this unfortunately, if you're worried about the ohm output you might need an amp anyway 🙂

Hi, sounds like it might be a BIOS/Motherboard issue. Are you able to get it serviced?
@@kakemboluide Sadly, not yet bcos of lockdown.
Lmao. 3 years old? Dell G7 7588 is released on April of 2018. Only widely available to the general public around August/September. Somehow around mid of September, you are able to have a 3 years old version.

@@crossnicholson2121 how did the paste go, any difference? Which paste and tutorial did you use?
I've tried 6 times with six different 120 hertz monitors and all of them have had really bad flickering issues. Replacing the thermal paste was a real bear with the G7 so many darn screws. Is there any particular 16GB ram kit that you would suggest I've heard the Dell G7 is very picky with ram.
Bought mine for $500. Came with the 8750h and a 2060, with the 256gb ssd
Sorry to hear about your bad luck with replacement panels, I've run mine for over a year with no issues so I guess it's like a lottery. Replacing the thermal paste is a pain, but totally worth it.
Crucial has a RAM kit that is compatible with this system, you can check their website for the specific part number that is compatible.
@@kakemboluide Yeah I bought it for $500 with a line down the screen. Replacing a screen was simple enough, but sadly I guess mine just isnt compatible with the better 120hz screen. Ive even tried the same screen you referenced in your video, same thing. The screen would be black, and flicker really badly, would only work kinda half ok with full brightness, but even then got a screen flicker about once every minute or so.
@@kakemboluide I agree though replacing the thermal paste and stock thermal pads made a huge difference. Between 10-15 degrees depending on the application. Before replacing the 2 year old thermal paste 3d mark saw temperatures on the cpu and gpu over 100 degrees. After repasting, I didnt see the temps go over 90 and the gpu was able to clock at about 200mhz more with the cpu staying at a solid 4ghz in 3dmark.

Hi, have you checked out my other videos? It sounds like a sever throttling issue. If your GPU downclocks to a quarter it's normal frequency because of heat then it basically becomes unusable.

How to repair battery for this model laptop
Hi, you need to buy the Dell 33YDH replacement battery and swap it in, I did that on mine some time back and battery life is much better now.
@@kakemboluide what about speakers performance importance
Anyone experienced fps fall while on battery? [Help]
Yep all the time, like almost 50% decrease, so I always plug in.
I've had my Dell G7 since 2018.. I got that Nvidia 1060 in it and I can run Gears 5 on ultra settings and still pull 85 FPS...just say'n...
Yeah the 1060 is still a very strong performer even to this day.
I just got this dell g7 last year and it thermal throttles and power limits, I replaced the thermal paste and it still reached around 90C but it power limits to 0.8ghz lol
How do you get 70C on your cpu, I repasted mine with kryonaut too and I still get super crappy thermals
You must have applied a thick layer of kryonaut, normally the paste is supposed to be a very thin layer that fills any small gaps between the heatsink and CPU. Also to prevent that throttling to 0.8GHz you need to remove Intel DPTF from the laptop, but try and redo the pasting first.
Laptop Performance Tricks i kinda repasted it 5 times and I got the same results using different methods and I ran out of kryonaut haha. Also I saw that my thermal pads inside were degraded so i’m gonna replace it today
Thanks man. now I know what can I upgrade in my G7. But do you recommend the Nvme Western digital? if so should i pick the black one? or the blue one?
Hi, the SN750 is great value, you should definitely go for that one if you can. Just make sure it isn't the one with the heatsink because that won't fit in the laptop.
@@kakemboluide Thanks man! But can I clone my OS with installed programs using the enclosure ssd?
@@tokyopulis Hi, if you have an NVMe enclosure they you can try cloning on to the drive, just make sure it is a full clone that includes each and every partition, as many of the partitions are necessary for startup.
So, no GPU upgrade can be done?
Unfortunately no. But if you can find an external GPU, they've now become fast enough where you may see significant improvement if you use one. General recommendation would just be to upgrade your laptop though.
really love this laptop. the only downside is that i can't play the most recent AAA games without it heating up so fast
Have you tried repasting? Also be sure to downclock the CPU to around 3.2 - 3.4GHz, this will cut down your temperatures a lot.
@@kakemboluide I'll try it out tonight. thanks! i do have another question though. have you experienced any issues with performance when your laptop is not plugged in though? when game on my g7 its just really bad running on battery. same goes for other programs like CAD
@@thered_hood7451 if you're having issues with performance off the plug try and close MSI afterburner when on battery, also make sure your NVIDIA drivers are up to date, these two factors normally limit the CPU speed to 800MHz on battery.
I just bought one and stress tests only show 70⁰c and under fire the CPU. I wonder if it's throttling, even though AIDA64 says it's not.
Hi, I have the same laptop and it is severely underperforming and I cant figure out why. I benchmarked in forza horizon 4 at lowest settings and got 13fps.
Hi, what temperatures are you currently running at? It sounds like a throttling issue. I have some videos on my channel that can help you get lower temps.
@@kakemboluide according to Intel xtu 98c was the highest during benchmark. Just repeated with ultra settings and .125 undervolt
@@phaszon3347 your GPU underclocks massively when the CPU gets that hot, you need to limit the CPU clocks to 3.0GHz or less, that should bring your CPU temps down, and in turn the GPU.
@@kakemboluide okay, I followed your video and used throttle stop and re ran the bench in forza 4 on ultra. 36fps and the temp peaked at 91c otherwise hovering in lower 80s.
Still getting big framerates dips in game.
@@phaszon3347 next thing you will need to do is get rid of Intel DPTF, it is the one that severely throttles your CPU. Check out this link for instructions:

Also, I would strongly recommend a repaste at this point, your old paste must be completely worn out.
even after a repaste the cpu temp is at 90*C-100*C
:(
Reason why I didn't bother changing...
do you know if there’s an available screen replacement for the 17 inch variant?
Hi, I'm guessing this is in reference to the 7790 model? Not sure which replacement panels might work as it's a thinner bezel, and that size of panel is hard to come by. Check on forums and see if there's anyone who's had some luck with the swap.
Hi, can i have your email to contact you please? i need some help with my laptop i have the same model.
Hey I can help if you need. I've done everything but paste and I bet when I do it'll be more beast than it ever was.
@@crossnicholson2121 hey could you help me with mine?

Dell G7 i7-8750h CPU could be replaced by:

Nope
$62 for the screen back then... Now it's like over $100 😫
$110 In AliExpress now...not worth it imo
64GB RAM should be compatible, i'm running 1 32GB stick and the stock 16GB stick at the same time on my 7567. Chipset supports upto 64GB DDR4 ram
I will be transfering the 32GB stick to my new Dell G7 soon as it arrives here.
Hope it works, that would be great
My G7 is failing since 6 months of use. I really don't recommend this laptop at all.
