Dell :: CANNOT Keep My M1730 Cool
Jun 16, 2009I've had it almost 2 years and im beginning to think the graphics cards are giving up on me
right now it is idle running very few programs, and my temps are (according to HWMonitor)
CPU Core 0 -54-51-63
CPU Core 1 -54-51-62
8700M GT 1 67-67-68
8700M GT 2 -79-79-80
HDD 43-43-44
surely the second GT shouldnt be in the high 70's being idle?!
the top of the XPS (above the keypad just below the screen) is also almost too hot to touch, not long ago I took it apart and gave it a good clean to get rid of the dust but there didnt seem to be much dust at all .....
Dell :: Keeping The XPS 1530 Cool
Oct 13, 2008I just bought a XPS 1530 and Im looking for a few opinions on keeping it running cool.
1. What fan controller software should I use for the 1530?
2. Is it possible to replace the stock GPU fan with an aftermarket one? If so is there a guide on that.
3. Similar to question #2 is there a guide on replacing the thermal paste on the 1530 with a 8600m GT GPU?
4. Whats the best laptop cooler for the 1530 that lines up to the fans underneath.

Dell :: Fan Running At High, Laptop Cool?
Sep 3, 2009So I know I made another thread about over heating, but it's not drawing that much attention.
A few days ago my Inspiron 1420 was crashing due to overheating (I've had it for a year and a half).
Dell came out, replaced the motherboard, and things were fine until it started overheating AGAIN a few hours after the techie left. Dell came out the next day with a new hard drive, heatsink and fan.
Dell :: Before/after Temps With Cool Slice For Latitude/precision
Nov 16, 2008if anyone with the coolslice could report on how effective its passive design is at cooling the notebook?
In particular i would be interested in someone with a precision m4400....
Before and after temps would be helpful, how warm the bas of the cooler is when its attached, or if it feels always cool..also if it manages to keep the fan on "medium" speed most of the time....
Acer :: Hot-line And Cool
Feb 8, 2009I asked Acer hotline over the phone for the service guide to my TravelMate laptop, and a very friendly hot-line-guy told me to get it from retrevo.com or from laptoprepair101.com - both sites, however, have been told (from Acer or ?) not to host the Acer service guides any more.
One or two compagnies still seems to have them for sale, but as I don't have any possibility to buy over the net - and don't find it reasonable, either, to pay for the guide to a computer that was expensive enough when it was bought ...
I can find a lot of reasons for Acer (and other manufact.) not to include the service guides in the box together with new laptops - and I might even be able to find good reasons as well for not making it too easy to get the guides at the internet - as long as the products are still produced or as long they are newer than 2 years - but after that time I cannot find any reason at all why they still want their customers to pay for the service guide at a 3.part compagny.
It's UNREASONABLE and UNFAIR - so next time I buy a laptop I might look for another brand with a little more customer friendly policy.
As a matter of fact it is dangerous not to clean the cooler now and then - not doing it might in the worst case cause a fire, so as long as they don't mount a little 'door' to open for removing dangerous dust-cakes they should at least let the service guides be reachable from their service hot-line.
Acer hot-line has no techniciants and nobody there knew how to clean the cooler but admitted that it's important to do it - uncool, unhot or unacer ...
Acer :: Travelmate 5624 Does Not Cool
Aug 19, 2009I have problems with the high temperature of my Travelmate 5624WSMI. It is too hot!
However:
- I cannot hear any fan running (I do not know if I should, and I do not remember if I did when it worked properly).
- I read that it might be due to dust. For this reason I tried to clean it (them?) with a can of compressed air but with no success.
- I installed SpeedFun. I read this: GPU 51 °C (or more!); HDO 42 °C; Temp1 32 °C; Temp2 42 °C; Core0 46 °C; Core1 46 °C. As I understand, GPU is burning.
- I tried to open my notebook but without success. I do not how to do it.
Dell :: Quiet And Cool. Thermal Paste Replaced! 38@idle 73@load
Mar 25, 2009I replaced the thermal paste of the CPU and the GPU with "Coollaboratory liquid pro". And I replaced the thermal pad of the northbridge with "Arctic Silver 5" thermal paste.
Here are my sesults (in a 20 degrees Clesius enviroment, T9600, 2,8GHz, stock voltage):
73 dregrees Celsius at 100% load
(instead of 92)
39 dregrees Celsius at 0% load (fan off)
(instead of 45)
According to my research and different experiments this combination is my actual optimum.
The cooler and more silent system supports my usage of voice recognition (using the internal mic).
Of cause later the voltage could be reduced using rmclock.....

Mar 2, 2009Ok, so I really needed more hard drive space in my T350p, I am guessing alot of you are in the same boat I am and the machine is great if only it had more hard drive space.
Unfornately pretty much all the large drives are in either Zif or sata, so changing the internal drive was not going to get me much more space.
So, I looked at other options. I did not want to use an external, they are great and I have several of them, but it is just not as conveniant as having a large built in drive.....

Dell :: Studio 1569 ( Studio S15z-2249CPN) Best Buy Blue Label CNET Review
Mar 28, 2010What I found quite interesting in the cnet review is that their performance testing of the Dell 1569 was second place just behind the Toshiba E205-S1904 (the other Best Buy Blue Label). I do not understand why, the specs are basically the exact same specs, EXCEPT our Dell has a 500gb 7,200rpm hard drive while the Toshiba has a 500gb 5,400 rpm hard drive. I would think, if anything our performance would be slightly better than the Toshiba because of our 7,200rpm hard drive. All the other specs are the same.
So, with that being said, why did the Toshiba have slightly better performance numbers than ours, since as I keep stating all the specs are the same except we have a faster hard drive?
Dell :: Studio XPS 1645 / Studio 1747 Wireless Configs
Dec 3, 2009Does anyone have any idea why? Is this something affecting Dell globally or is it just UK/Europe in a mess?
I guess I could survive with just wireless G, but it seems ridiculous to be limited to that these days;
I guess I could also just order it and pick up an intel/dell Wireless N card for ~£25 and install it myself,
but again the question arises, why is it necessary? I assume some of you do have an 802.11n card of some description in your 1645/1747's have you seen any problems with it? .....
Dell :: Audio Latency /Solutions With All Studio & Studio XPS
Feb 24, 2009Recently i ordered a Dell Studio XPS and like many of you with dell's,my main use was to be for audio production,dj'ing or any sort of thing pertaining to music.After ordering and then reading up online,ALOT of people are having problems getting the latency and/or pops skips & jumps out of their sound source.
Some say the problems lie within the Lan card,some say video card.And most importantly,Dell does not have an answer to the problem because they are not trained to understand audio type situations(Unfortunately).So...Here is where we are going to solve this thing(or try really hard because besides that...these are prett good laptops otherwise) Once i get mine in the next 3 days,im going to tell you what i did because i WILL fix it or at least try hard and fail.
Dell :: Studio And Studio XPS Laptops, Who Are They For And What Are The Primary Differences?
Apr 23, 2009 I'm interested in purchasing one of these two. Probably 15'' for the Studio or the 16'' for the Studio XPS.
I'm just a bit confused as to what the target users are, they seem very similar. From what I can see, the Studio XPS just has a better exterior and a superior display.
I intend to use the laptop for document editing, media (HDMI out to hdtv, most likely) and casual gaming. Price range is about 1300 CAD.

Dell :: Should I Return My Studio 1745 (C2D T9600) For The Studio 17 With I7 CPU?

I see the I7 is out & I dont believe that was an option for the laptop either. There was also the 20% bing cashback deal which removes another 220 from the price (I dont quite get the math myself but hey).

Dell :: Studio XPS 1645 Or Studio 1747 ???
Nov 6, 2009I'm university student and ntb is meant to be carried almost daily (16" is ok for me), it's mainly for multimedia oriented jobs, some programming in C and Mathematica, some photoshop or even premiere (occasionaly), A LOT of movie watching. I also want it to be futureproof and well-built.
Dell XPS 1645 meets most of my criteria, but there are few things I'm unsure about...
1) after reading a couple of reviews and many posts on this forum I'm really doubtful if RGB-LED is worth the extra money. I'm not doing colour sensitive job (however I do sometimes edit RAW images in PS), but i want things on the display to look natural, especially in FullHD movies... (and I'm occasional gamer too)
Those who had honor to work with RGB-LED: would you pay for it in my position???
And just to make sure I haven't overlooked something: biggest DISadvantages of RGB-LED are supposed to be: inaccurate colors, bigger power consumption and some heat produced;
while advantages should be: 0,4" gain in size, wider gamut and (maybe) better brightness...
Do you know any more to be added?
2) I'm also considering usual Studio 17 with Core i7 720QM (almost the same config), because it should be cooler, it has numpad and place for additional hdd (I'd buy 80GB intel ssd 34nm for system while keeping stock 500GB for data, I think it's beatiful idea), but what I DISlike about studio 17 is: dimensions, weight, speakers and design (and maybe a bit worse overal built quality).
So which one do you think is better for me?
3) how does combined e-sata/usb work? Since I have a external e-sata drive I have to plug 2 cables at the moment: USB for power and e-sata... With this 2-in-1 port do I need only 1 special cable? Or is it meant to be either/or thing??? From the placement of combined e-sata/usb on the opposite side of ntb than other USBs I'd say that 1 cable should be enough,

Dell :: Studio XPS 1645 Vs Studio XPS 1647
Feb 23, 2010I am looking to get a Studio XPS 16 soon, but can't quite decide on which model to get and had a few questions...
1) What is the battery life of the 1647 (i5) compared to the 1645 (i7) assuming they have the same specs. I've read that i5's should last longer, but I really couldn't find anything comparing the two for these systems.
2) When configuring the 1645 and 1647 side-by-side with the same specs. The 1647 is about the same price as the 1645, if not more (depending on which processor selected). I thought the i5's were supposed to be less expensive than the i7's. Since they are about the same price, would it be better to go with the i7? Any reason to choose the i5 over i7?
Dell :: Studio XPS 1645 Or Studio 1557

Dell :: Some Studio XPS ?s Difference Between XPS And Studio XPS
Oct 19, 2009I was intrested in a new Notebook to replace my Dell Inspiron 700m
I bought an Dell XPS 2 years ago and returned it because I did not like the keyboard and VISTA. The keyboard keys were weird to me. They had no grip, felt too plasticy, hard to explain.
Does the studio xps have different type of keys? or the same keys as the basic studio?
Also whats the difference between the old XPS and the new Studio XPS?
Can I get an Intel Wifi card in it, on dells configuration it won't let me.
Overall what do you guys think of the 13 inch model?

Jul 21, 2009trying to figure out which one is the better buy for me. I am looking for a laptop for mobility, graphics, and battery, pretty much like everyone else.
The studio 14z seems to be a little smaller and lighter than the xps 13.
14z also suppose to have a 6 hour battery life with 8 cell. better than xps 13
The xps 13 has a 9500m vs the 9400, but i heard thats only for conserving battery, or does it outperform the 9400
