    XMP profiles are being used by the BIOS but I think Windows 10 is having trouble with the G.Skill CAS latency. As I said, the HyperX is reported correctly across the board. BIOS shows 3200 for both brands.

    Have anyone tested if the 7730 keyboard can fit into 7710/20?

    A little bit more info:

    The RAM is running at the full 3200 XMP speed, but Windows Task Manager reports the RAM's "Maximum Speed" as reported by SMBIOS Item 17. I've highlighted the 2 values in the attached screenshot from CPU-Z. This is a cosmetic bug in Windows and there are dozens of reports of it online. I'm not too worried, every piece of reporting and benchmarking software I can find shows that the memory is running at 3200MHz.

    Gents, there have been some important developments in this thread.

    Users @Div033 and @yrekabakery have deduced that the P3200 in the Precision 7530 is probably a Max-Q version (even though it hasn't been labelled as such) with power limits at 67 W, which is even slower than the one in the Lenovo ThinkPad P52.

    I read through the thread, very interesting, and it seems a bit deceptive on Dell's side. Though with a performance hit of just about 2 FPS in the Firestrike test, not the worst thing ever... Still you'd expect a "regular" branded card to perform handily better than a "Max-Q" card.

    We don't have many 7730's out there yet, but did anyone order one with a P3200? I'd be interested to see a GPU-Z snapshot of that one to see if it is the proper "fast" version.

    Borrowing this image from @Div033, who has a 7530 with P3200. So, clearly, 7530 and 7730 have different P3200's.

    Not an expert on benchmarking correctly, but did a quick bench with Aida64 with Hwinfo sensors

    Bear in mind this is a random shot during the bench so not sure on accuracy, again not really experienced at this
