Dell :: Team Fortress 2 :: Do I Need A Cooler?

Aug 20, 2009

I have an xps 16 and was wondering if I need a laptop cooler. I do play games but the most intensive one is probably Team Fortress 2.

When I do play it, the laptop does get pretty hot on the bottom with the fan running and everything. Besides that I pretty much use my computer for web surfing, word processing, and stuff like that.

Dell :: SXPS 16 And Team Fortress 2

Oct 11, 2009

I bought a Dell SXPS at these specs:Core 2 Duo P9700 2,80 GHz4 GB DDR3 RAMATI 4670 1 GB320 GB HDDThe first thing I did was to fire up Team Fortress 2, of course! The first 30 mins of gameplay: Awesomeness, my best TF2 experience ever, amazing graphics, v-sync on, AA on 4x - simply amazing... but after these 30 wonderful mins I suddenly had some FPS lag, for 30 seconds, then back to normal for a bit, then lag again and so on... now what is this? I just ordered a Zalman NC2000 in hope of making the gameplay better and avoid these FPS drops. This has to be underclocking issues right? Can I achieve lower temps by undervolting my CPU/GPU?

Dell :: XPS M1330 And Steam (Team Fortress 2 And COD5 World At War)

May 16, 2009

I have a dell XPS M1330 and I am having some problems with some games, namely Team fortress 2 and COD5 world at war, both downloaded through steam.

I'm posting here because I had these games running before, but I have no idea how and I'm guessing someone must of had the same problem as me.

I am guessing both issues are due to the sound driver, as I can run TF2 perfectly with the -nosound command line switch, but without it the game just crashes during startup. I have tried all the nvidia video drivers from 163 to the latest, and tried all the sound drivers I can find but no difference ......

Dell :: Studio XPS 16 Which Cooler From These Four?

Aug 31, 2009

My XPS should hopefully be delivered in the next couple of days (see signature for specs).

It will be a desktop replacement primarily used for internet browsing, video streaming, watching a few blu-ray movies and the occasional gaming session.

I don't want to go too much into the heat issues, however to be prepared for longer periods (ie 4-8 hours)

I thought it might be wise to invest in a notebook cooler. Having done a bit of research the following seem to be popular:

Dell :: My XPS Crashed From Heat. What Cooler Are You Using

Sep 7, 2007

I was playing BF2 yesterday for about 45 minutes online when suddenly it froze.

I was forced to hold the power button to shut it off. When I tried to turn it back on the lights flashed and it shut off. I tried to start it again and the lights flashed and it shut down again. At this point I felt like . SoI unplugged all usb devices and the power cord let it sit for a couple minutes and tried again. This time it booted to a black screen that said your system shutdown due to excessive heat error code #MO44. I opened up the laptop removed the fans and blew out the dust from the machine. The problem is it wasn't really that hot. I know it has been hotter in the past while gaming. Anyway I am going to get a cooler for when I'm gaming. I know there have been threads here before but searching was no real help. I am looking for the most efficient cooler out there for my 1710. I reallly don't care what it looks like as long as it does what it's supposed to do.

I'm running Vista Ultimate and I8KFANGUI my peak idle temps are
CPU: 50C
GPU: 59C
RAM: 51C

Dell :: XPS 1530 Notebook Cooler

Aug 20, 2009

I'm looking to purchase a notebook cooler (off of newegg.com or somewhere like that) to cool down my Nvidia 8600M.

I'm looking for something around $50 USD but I don't mind spending more.

Anyone with any luck in regards to a particular cooler that they have used to keep their temperatures down? I want something that will work well with my laptop specifically.

I also wanted to note that I have a 9 cell battery on my laptop and not the 6 cell (if that makes a difference).

Dell :: Xps 1645 With Cooler Test/info000000000

May 12, 2010

Hey all,

I just got a coolermaster notepal infinite cooler today and have tried it out for 30 min playing left 4 dead. Usually my gpu would throttle due to high temps but it isnt anymore with the cooler, although it is still really hot.

max temps
gpu = 80 degrees c (still really hot!, used to throttle at 84)
cpu = 73 degrees c (much much better, used to reach 84 as well)

So the cooler has helped although not as much as i would like for the gpu. It gets me thinking that without the throttling that gpu could reach 90 degrees easily.

It also doesnt really decrease the idle temps too much, maybe 5 degrees ish.

Overall, it definitely helps, but this laptop is still damn hot, even with the cooler. I will continue testing with different games and will let you know the outcomes.

At the request of some of the people on this site, I am posting a couple of pics of the bottom of my E6400.

Reason being, some would like to see if DELL has changed anything with regard to the thermals as this unit (T9400/Nvidia 160m) is finally running at a consistently cool temp, without the fan constantly going haywire (docked, with two external monitors).

Dell :: XPS 16 Owners Who Have Used Cooler Master Notepal Infinite

Jul 28, 2009

Thinking about getting this cooler for my XPS 16. About $35-40 shipped. I've read alot of great reviews on it, and it seems to be the best cooler for use in various locations like when sitting on the bed, on the sofa, on my lap...etc.

I'm wondering if there are any XPS 16 owners who have used this, and can confirm that it significantly reduces the heat of the XPS 16 and, specifically, the spot under the touchpad.

Dell :: The Best Notebook Cooler Option For E6400/ E6500

Oct 5, 2008

I'm looking to get a notebook cooler for my E6400, as I am sure some other are considered or have taken advantage of. So, I want to find out one that is going to work the best.

I am considering the following:

- Zalman ZM-NC1000, said to be really quiet and effective. From what I gather blows air up at the notebook

- Antec notebook cooler, also supposed to be quite effective. This one I think sucks away the hot air from the notebook

Now the question is, what is going to be the better choice? I think the fan on the E6400/ E6500 blows hot air out of the notebook right? In which case the cooler that then helps in taking that away would be best?

Dell :: How To Monitor Temp Of E4300 And Silent NB Cooler?

Jan 15, 2009

I have the Antec cooler, and it is louder than the notebook. So, looks like it will be going back to Staples.

I am looking for suggestions other than SpeedFan which is more than I want. For now,

I would just like some temps and some fan RPMs without going to the BIOS which of course requires rebooting.
