Dell :: Any Advantage To Not Running SLI?

Nov 1, 2009

I have two 7800M GT in an SLI configuration (not sure whether that its one physical card or not but is recognized as two) in my M1730.

I disabled SLI to save on power, but was told in another thread that simply disabling SLI does not cut power to the second GPU. If that is the case,

is there any advantage to disable SLI? Would the fans run less? Why do they provide for such an option in the first place?

Dell :: GPU Running VERY Hot

May 5, 2010

I have an m1530 that I bought back in june of 2008 with an nvidia 8600GT. In the past few months my gpu temps have been rising while I have been gaming. Its even gotten up to 98C while playing WoW, which makes the game really choppy and unplayable.

I can get the temps down to around 90C while gaming if I keep a box fan pointed at the bottom of the laptop, kind of like a poor mans cooler. How can I get my temps down? What SHOULD they be at while gaming?

Dell :: Fan Running Non Stop On M1330

Nov 10, 2008

I got mine XPS m1330 in april.. Didn't like Vista because I felt that I didn't have control over my computer with all that superadmin etc and it being slow.. So I installed XP a couple days ago.. But now I've been used to Vista and didn't like XP, so I switched back to Vista.. Much faster this time around without all of that preinstalled software for now...

Now I have two issues..

First issue is the fan works constantly and sometimes is stops for one second and runs for one second and does that all the time, it is driving me crazy.. By the way, the laptop is not warm at all..

The second issue is that I had to switch SATA HDD in bios to ATA from ACHI(?) and disable something in BIOS which I don't remember the name now before I could change to ATA. Now if I try to enable that "thing" and switch to ACHI from ATA, Vista doesn't boot..

Is it a problem that it is running in ATA or it doen't matter?

Dell :: Running Mine Without A Battery?

Aug 6, 2009

So the other day I decided to actually read through the crap that dell gives you (safety and precautions stuff) and in there it said with the new lithium ion batteries its actually better to not let them die and keep them above 40%.

In turn I decided the best way to do this is by charging them fully then just taking them out and letting my computer run off of the outlet.

Worked so far for me and this will prevent charging/discharging my batteries constantly. Anyone else done this? Any negatives to this (other than the obvious, which is if power is disconnected it will turn off). My computer is a studio XPS 1640 by the way.

Dell :: Running Mercenaries 2 On A M1530

I was given "Mercenaries 2" as a gift, and it is as of now, unopened - so it could be returned if need be. I'd like to run this on my 1530, but would rather return it if the 1530 is not equipped for this game. Anyone playing this game on a 1530?

I was curious if my i9300 would run with the screen off it? I'm curious because it developed a single purple vertical line on it yesterday out of no where.

I read into this and it seems to be a common problem, I would like to take the screen off and run an external monitor. Can this be done? Any help would be great.

Dell :: Why Is My Laptop Running So Hot Idle

Dec 2, 2008

For the past few days, I woke up to my laptop's fan rather loud spinning. I noticed that my computer was constantly at 100% CPU usage even with like literally no processes opened, and it's idling ~50C.

It's to the point where moving my mouse across the screen lags, the pointer jumps from one spot to another.

I'm not really sure what the problem is, I ran AVG with no problem, and I don't remember doing anything to my computer in the past few days that would be considered abnormal...in fact, the only thing I did do was try to use a screensaver for the first time ever, but I turned it off with no difference,

Dell :: Running The Laptop Always On AC Power

May 28, 2009

I own a S1555 from Dell. Currently i am using the laptop on AC power which is supplied by an UPS. I have removed the battery from the laptop. I have connected the laptop to the UPS because even in the case of power failure, the working will be uninterrupted.

Now my query is, will it harm the laptop in the long term? I read about the laptop overheating in other forums, but strangely mine does not overheat, although i keep mine connected to AC power 24x7. I do all sorts of stuffs like gaming (the most recent one was GTA 4) and word processing on the laptop.

Dell :: DDR3 1066 Running At 800mhz?

Apr 4, 2010

Just got my 1647 set up (replacement for my 1640) and got sent an additional 4gb dimm and popped it in for a total of 8 gigs.

CPU-Z shows 8 gigs, everything works fine..The Memory tab is blank so it doesn't show what its actually running at or its timings or dual channel mode or not...Which caused me to think it wasn't running in dual channel mode..So I got everest ultimate edition and it indeed showed it was working in dual channel so I was happy..But then I noticed it reported the memory was running at 100mhz and in ddr3 terms that effectively is 800mhz...The ram should be running at a base clock of 133mhz or 1066mhz effectively. All the tabs report it as being rated at 1066 and all that registers fine..Its just the "actual clock" reports it at 100mhz instead of 133..

I thought back to the 4gb dimm I recieved..It was refurbished which made me think it was the culprit..So I did some tests. I tested each dimm individually and each time (alone and together) everest reported 100mhz (800mhz)..

So is everest to be trusted? Are both my dimms bad? Whats causing my dimms to run at 800mhz instead of 1066? There is nothing in bios to tweak so how can I change this? And let me repeat, both dimms, when installed BY THEMSELVES (so 4gb total) still report 100mhz...so it cant be the refurb dimm...

What gives?

My window index score on memory is 6.8..which is about what it was on my last machine which used the same speed ram..

Could everest be wrong?

Dell :: Inspiron 1720 Running Extremely Hot

Sep 20, 2009

lately my Inspiron 1720 has been running crazy hot, and overheating (actually shutting down) while playing games (specifically Sacred 2).

For example right now I am only running Firefox and HWMonitor, and here is an excerpt from the HWMonitor report:

Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T5750 hardware monitor

Temperature sensor 070°C (157°F) [0xF] (core #0)
Temperature sensor 175°C (166°F) [0xA] (core #1)

In fact shortly after saving that report, my computer actually shut down from heat. I have since restarted it and it is currently running at a roughly constant 52C.

The CPU gets into the 70s and overheats a lot when playing Sacred 2. However, strangely even after closing that game the temperature doesn't come down, such as what happened above .....
