View 10 Repliesi bought it b/c of the t7600g processor & b/c i prefer the m1710 over the m1730 looks wise
it is pretty dinged up, even for a scratch and dent and the bluray drive that came w/ the system works sometimes but then media direct cannot detect an optical device - does media direct 3.0 not work w/ bluray?
it came w/ a 1 year warranty, i could not bite the bullet to pay 220 for an extended warranty for years 2 and 3 - does anyone have any experience for extending warranty over the phone for cheaper than 220?
I am getting an m1710 motherboard and base, and I want to also get the t7600g.
Is there any vendor where I can get one? or is dell the only place that you can get it?
My Friend has an m1710 could I get him to call dell and ask for an upgrade?
then they can give it to him for me?
or can I just call dell spare parts or some such and order it?
is the XPS 1710 with a T7600G able to "address" all 4gb with Vista64bit?
View 12 Replies View Relatedi bought a T7600G for my m90 from second Hand (..from firestarter, also activ in this Forum..). It originally comes from IT-Premier, a shop you already know, like I saw...
Now - the prob is, that the Bios don't let me overclock my lovely G! I'm sure, it is possible, because IT-Premier sells a m90 with 7600G. I've already ask him for his modified Bios (if exist..) but even no answer..
A friend of mine works for intel in devolopment. So I been talking to him latly about the t7600 vs the t7600G . He basically said intel does not make a t7600G there is no such thing, he looked into it with a few of the other engineers. So this is what Im guessing, dell does something VERY simple to the t7600 that allows it to set a flag so the bios can detect it as a factory option and allow the overclock . . .So this is what im doing. Im bored until school starts up again (im a engineering student starting my masters in the fall) , I have access to a nems lab and engineering lab for 2 weeks before school starts. Im going to order a t7600 off ebay or here and ask my buddy to bring in his xps t7600G. Im going to test the pin outs in the lab and look for changes.
It must be a very small change and something simple that they do to allow it to throw a flag. So hopefully with a manual of pinouts I can test the i/o, resistance, etc and find the change.
Is the Core 2 Duo T8300 better than the Core 2 Duo T7600G??? I chatted with a tech and he said it was faster because of the 800mhz and 45nm. Should I contact customer service to have them build me another replacement?
View 12 Replies View Relateddo 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
I just got my new laptop and the invoice says that it's a T7600. When I look into the system properties it show a 2.33 Ghz T7600.
But when I go into my BIOS, it has an adjustment to overclock my processor. I overclocked it to 2.83 Ghz and according to my I8KFangui and my system properties it is showing it running @ 2.83 Ghz.
So does this mean that I actually have the T7600G, or does it mean that I have the T7600 an I am going to screw it up by overclocking it!
I'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 .....
Just got my new Studio XPS 13... pretty amazing (p9600, 4g ddr3, 500g HDD 7200... etc.)
Ijust wanted to know best way to cool it down because it's warming pretty easely
I 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.
i have a dell xps 1730 and this are my specs
nvidia geforce 8800 gtx sli
4 GB of memory
250 hdd space
i have cleaned the fans but no luck i still get drops and goes back to normal. is there a way to stop this little annoying thing
So 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.
if 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....
I 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 ...
I 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.
I 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.....
is there any possibility to undervolt my ATI HD Radeon 4650 Mobility?
View 4 Replies View RelatedOk, 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.....
I have a  hp Pavilion dv6-6080ee, Windows 7 64-bit. When I am trying to open the cool sense application its not opening, so what shall I do?

It used to work normally but suddenly stoped knowing that nothing have changed in my notebook....
I updated the HP Assistant and one of the items listed was an update to HP Cool Sense.
Â
I downloaded the file and installed it. No snowflake icon at the lower right.

I went to Start and typed in HP Cool Sense in the search all programs and files box. No snowflake icon. There is an entry at the top listed under Programs, so I clicked that.

I was going to be assembling an m1710 this weekend....
I called Dell Spare Parts a few days ago, and placed an order for the following;
HG345 Refurb bottom plastics, m1710
FF084 Refurb palmrest assy, m1710
J8841 Refurb speakers, LED, m1710
CF426 Refurb hinge cover, m1710
I've been watching the order on Dell's site all week, as it was scheduled to ship (on or before today) (2/21/08), and I opted for Next Day shipping.
When I placed the order, the woman I spoke with asked for my Service Tag number. I, um... don't HAVE one... I didn't say this, I simply said I don't have that information at the moment. She asked how I got the part numbers, and I told her from their own Spare Parts page.
Well....the order got cancelled today. Saw it online while at work, just before I left for the day. Another order number with the identical items was created, with a scheduled ship date of 3/3/08. WHAT?
The woman just called....she states they cannot process my order without a service tag number. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!
I told her I don't have a tag number....she asked if I was building one. "Yes." To which I hear...
"Oh....well, I don't think our supplier will allow that without a service tag number, because we reserve those parts for people who bought m1710's."
I said "That's amazing...because I know a number of people who have done the same thing I'm trying to do, and had no problems getting these parts."
"Well, that's because they have m1710's"
*mad enought to scream at this point* "Um, no...where do you think I got the idea from?? I'm certainly not the first person to have this idea."
how I can get them to sell me some refurbished plastics? What's the secret password?
What would cause the computer to come up with the blue screen of death and say system haulted and the number lock led to be lite up? all iw as doing was listening to music. temps were cpu 61c and gpu 54c.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI just acquired my 1st XPS notebook this week (bought it used) and so far, I'm loving it. Not a huge fan of Dell desktops but I must admit, they have done something amazing with their XPS/gaming systems. And their warranty services aren't too shabby.
My current system is as follows:
Intel C2D T7200 @ 2.0GHz 4MB L2/667MHz
Go 7900GS
4GB DDR2 RAM
200GB 7200RPM HDD
Gigabyte wireless adapter (not sure which model but it supports 108Mbps)
Got it for a good price so I wanted to know the following...
Is it worth it for me to upgrade the CPU to possibly the T7600/T7600G? Is it worth it for me to upgrade the GPU to the Go 7950GTX?
I was looking into OC-ing my CPU and GPU but I haven't found any information on OC-ing the CPU. As for the GPU, the sticky here seems to be pretty easy to follow. I will try that tonight and see what I can push out of my system. I've never been huge into the OC-ing scene
Just went to Dell's site looking for a M1710 for a friend. Sadly, it appears to be no longer for sale except on the outlet.

I have let my Laptop cool down for 24 hours and its still doing it. I emailed a guy online who said he can fix for £100 so I am guessing he will fix the actual GC rather than replace.?
What is the best OS for M1710 right now i have Vista 32 and i will be doing reinstall and i dont know should i instal vista 32 again or maybe vista 64 will be better or maybe xp mce sp2
