Dell :: SXPS 13 Owners: Before I Get The Laptop...

Sep 4, 2009

Is the heat overly blown out of proportion with just the 9400m(no SLI)? Is it significantly more than a m1330 with a X3100?

What is the average battery life you get with no gaming(surfing, YouTube, music, word)?

Is the vent going to pose a problem if used on a bed or non-flat surface?

Have the Latency issues been fixed with the audio completely? I've read mixed reports.

I'm thinking about this because Dell offered me a system exchange for my m1330(T7500,LED,Intel X3100,250GB) and said I would be given a SXPS 13 since m1330 is no longer being shipped.

Dell :: SXPS 13 Owners; Can You Check If Your Ethernet Adapter Is Working After System Resume From Sleep?

Nov 10, 2009

Apparently its a common problem on the SXPS 13 where the Ethernet adapter fails to work after the system resumes from sleep. It is caused by the NVIDIA chipset driver.

Can you check if yours is working correctly after the system resumes from Standby or sleep? If so, can you post what OS you are using? Which driver(Win 7 or Dell one)?

Dell :: 8800m GTX SLI Laptop Owners! Forceware 179.13 Saves The Day

Oct 6, 2008

i ran across these drivers on laptopvideo2go.com and i really just have to let all m1730 users know about this. Stock dell drivers and drivers underneath 177.41 have had lots of issues running SLI well, expecially in Non-SLI friendly games like crysis. 179.13 is a laptop version of 178.13 by alienware. This is great stuff. This really has brought the raw power of my SLI out and i can feel it in all my games. Not only that it has lowered my temps by a few degrees over 177.41+ drivers. I strongly recommend these to any 8800m GTX SLI users.

It can be found at ...

Dell :: SXPS 1645 Discontinuedi7-820QM No Longer Supported On SXPS

Dec 30, 2009

This is interesting... a friend of mine just tried to order the SXPS with the i7-820 processor and got denied by Dell. Apparently, the 1645 has been fully discontinued, and Dell will no longer be placing the i7-820 processor in any SXPS form factor. They quoted that due to hardware and power issues as the reason behind discontinuing the 1645 (and replacing it with the 1647) and killing i7-820 support. The sales rep said the only offering will be the Studio series for the i7-820.

As a 1645 owner with the i7-820, this is kinda scary that this laptop has been discontinued this quickly as well as the offering of the 820 series chip. We ended up calling a second time, and another sales rep confirmed the same story.

Anyone get similar information from Dell on this? I'm also wondering if this is a "Dell Canada" thing...

Dell :: 8800 GTX SLI Owners

Feb 9, 2008

I know a few of you have 8800GTX SLI setups right now. What kind of temps do those cards hit under a heavy load such as Crysis? Are any of you overclocking them yet? How many fans does the M1730 have, and how loud are they on high speed?

Dell :: E4200 Owners: Which LCD Did You Get?

Apr 16, 2009

The LCD is bright and clear when viewed head-on, but the slightest change in vertical angle causes the brightness and colors to vary like mad, making the system unbearable to use on my lap.

I tried to figure out who made this particular LCD, but the intel graphics driver makes it hard to get the EDID info.

The only thing that sort of worked was MonInfo:

And that only worked by getting the raw data string from the EDID structure, which indicates the LCD is part number "NU412.

Dell :: Studio XPS 13 Owners: How Well Does WoW And L4D Run For You

Oct 12, 2009

I'm about to pull the trigger on either the 13 or the 16. It's really come down to how well the above to games run for you (those are the two that have me hooked at the moment, so i'll be familiar with how I'm used to it performing compared to your settings).

I'm currently on an Asus G2S-A1 thats overheating like crazy. Time to upgrade. It's specs: 2.2Ghz core 2, 4gb ram, 5400rpm hdd, 8600m-gt 256.

Will the XPS13 with a 2.66ghz, 4gb ram, 7200rpm hdd, and the N10-M 512mb gpu perform equal or better then what I'm currently on? I ask because I'm having trouble finding a comparable benchmark.

This wont be my primary gaming rig, it will be portable entertainment. BUT it does need to be able to run on par with what i have or better to entertain me Should I be happy with the 13 or do you think the 16 would be better. The only reason I'd go with teh 16 is for the Radeon 4670 1gb if the 13 has problems with wow and L4D.

If you play WoW or L4D on the 13 (or even the 16) I would GREATLY appreciate the peace of mind i would get from hearing back what your FPS are and what detail/quality settings you're getting them at.

Dell :: Owners, Have You Undervolted?

Jun 22, 2009

I'm considering undervolting my Studio XPS 13 that is arriving tomorrow due to the well-known heat issues of that laptop.

Dell :: M1710 Owners

Dec 14, 2007

i have a overheating issue with my note and i am kind of desperate about it...

I am trying to eliminate the problem right now.. And i am thinking about the fans.

Now i wanna know if the situation is the same with you m1710 owners.

When i (using fangui) put both fans on full speed i am mostly hearing the one on the left (the one close to the cpu), and the second fan is actually pretty quiet...

Is this true with your notes too ?

Or are they making the same amount of noise?

My impression is that the right fan is a lower power fan or something, maybe that's my problem ?

Dell :: Question For T7600G Owners

Jul 14, 2007

do any software programs (notebook hardware control comes to mind) recognize your additional multiplers? Say if you boot up from bios with it set to 2.33ghz, does nhc automatically recognize the additional multipliers allowing control to 3ghz+ etc?
The reason I'm wondering is that if it does, it may be the case that even without bios support the t7600G may be able to be overclocked on 1705s (I don't believe anyone has modded the 1710 bios to work in the 1705s, right?) ... although the utility may be small because t7600gs are only available through dell right...just some pondering

Dell :: XPS M1330 LED Screen Owners.

I got a XPS m1330 with an LED screen. On low brightness, I can see dark spots across the bottom of the screen.

They are usually visible on a white background, like in "My Computer" window. So, I had my screen replaced and today the tech came out and put in a new LED. I am still having the same issue, so I am wondering if they are all like this.

Dell :: I Have 2 Q's For Existing M1730 Owners

I was hoping the nice people here could help me. I was wondering how many fans are in an M1730? Is it more than just what's on the GPU? I was also looking for those little rubber screw covers on the LCD front bezel.

Does anyone know where to buy them? I currently own an M1710 and I know there are also 2 plastic screw covers on the LCD. Is it the same with the M1730?

Dell :: X-25M SSD Owners Post Your Benchmark

Sep 21, 2009

If you own an Intel X-25M SSD, please post your benchmark score(s).
I am having an issue with my 4K read/write. It seems as tho they are 50% less than what they should be. Nevertheless, post your benchmarks. I want to know if any other DELL owners experiencing the same problem as i do..

I would have posted this in the Hardware SSD Thread, but that thread is just out of control. I am mostly interested in the Random 4K reads/writes and this is probably the most important attribute in everyday computing for regular users like us.

X-25M G2

X-25M G2

on a side note, can someone tell me why my 4K reads/writes are so much slower than what they are supposed to be?

Dell :: So Are There Any Really Happy M6400 Owners

Dec 16, 2008

I see a lot of "can't run CS4" and "can't run 3dsmax" comments, but not so many "CS4 is smoking on my machine" comments. Is poor performance in certain apps a constant with M6400s? I hear a lot of good things about the display, but it won't really be worth it if the machine is slow.

Dell :: M1530 Owners With 9-cell Batteries

Mar 30, 2009

So I haven't even had my laptop for a year yet (will be a year at the end of May). I bought a separate 9-cell somewhere in late June or early July.

I've noticed as of late, that my battery life is nowhere near as long as it used to be. With all my tweaks and once it was sitting at the desktop idle, Rightmark would regularly say I have almost 6 hours of charge left. As of today, I don't even see 4.5 hours, sometimes barely 4 hours.

I checked the battery by holding down the button at back; the lights go away instantly and then 3 of them light back up.

I definitely didn't buy this thing with the expectation that it would lose over 30% of its capacity in barely 10 months of use, especially considering a new battery costs between 100-150 bucks.

1.) How can I adjust my RGB settings to perfection and what settings would you recommend (Please don't post a thread of a 10 pages that I will have to read through).

2.) I purchased the 9 cell. Do I want to fully charge it, then let it die all the way down so the sensor is correct or what would you recommend?...........................

Dell :: 7950 Debates (7900 GSX Owners In Here)

Aug 22, 2007

I haven't put in my 7950 gtx yet because when I threw the one in that I had here it was DOA so I had to send back to the seller to replace, so the new one should be here in a week. Anyways here is the deal . .

Everyone is claiming since the 7900 GSX pulls such great scores in 3dmark05 (simular to the 7950) it is about the same. Here is the difference. When yall run 3dmark it defaults to a low resolution test. So here is an example. Im pulling low 9k with my 7900 GSX at default resolution. So I got a full version serial number for 3dmark05 and switched the resolution to 1440x900 and ran the tests with that. This should really show the memory difference and power of the better card.

The 7900GSX pulled 4262 at that resolution.

From what im finding online the 7950GTX at 1440x900 resolution pulls around 6700 at that resolution . If you have a 7950GTX test it out and post that instead.

Im sure at 1920x1200 resolution the differences would become even more apparant. So there is the final answer.

High resolution gaming (native resolution on our lappys) will show a big difference.
