Dell :: XPS M1730 Heatup

Dec 3, 2009

I could have more control over the Grx card fans , they are very frustrating , sometimes they simply seem to cut in when the cards reach about 73 degress cool it down to 58 degrees or so and then shut off , so the temp slowy builds back up to 73+ again and so the cycle goes round

Other times they seem to cut in, then bring the the temp down and then slowly idle keeping the temp at a constant 50-60 degrees , what gives!

What I would like to to set a much lower cut in temp so that the cycle is not to extreme or set the fans to run at a min low speed all the time and only increasing when the demand on the cards grows

Dell :: XP Pro X64 For M1730

Apr 2, 2009

I'm installing x64 XP Pro on my system (check my sig) after using x86 XP pro for many odd years. I was hoping I could get some help cultivating all the x64 bit compatible drivers for my system because this is a large undertaking, and all my drivers I have backed up to flash drive are for my current 32-bit system, so this is overwhelming to me......
I was hoping I could just get some help from the community retrieving OEM drivers (not Dell drivers) for my system. I want everything up-to-date, including RAID matrix manager and chipset drivers....

Dell :: My New XPS Toy... M1730

Jul 27, 2008

I used to have an Inspiron 9400 which I modded into an M1710, which is in this photo forum. I eventually managed to get some funding and bought the M1730 about 4 months ago and love it. Heres a basic photo of my setup:

The Specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor T9300 - 2.5GHz, 6MB Cache, 800 MHz FSB

Windows Vista(R) Ultimate 32 bit
Dell(TM) Wireless 355 Bluetooth Module
Integrated Sound Blaster Audigy ADVANCED HD Audio Software
17.0" UltraSharp(TM) Widescreen WUXGA (1920x1200) TFT Display with TrueLife(TM)
Smoke Gray LCD display with Integrated 2.0 mega pixel web cam
4GB (2x2GB) 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
200GB SATA 7200RPM Performance Hard Drive
2nd 200GB SATA 7200RPM Performance Hard Drive Blu-ray Combo Drive
Dual 512MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) 8800M GTX with NVIDIA(R) SLI(TM) Technology

Intel(R) 4965AGN Wireless-N Mini-Card
AGEIA PhysX Mobile Technology(TM)

I was worried this would be a slow processor but it's great does all my photo work and web design work with ease, and it's great for games ! Fantastic machine, love the light up keyboard.

In the photo it's sitting on an akasa 17" notebook cooler to help keep the temps happy.

I'll try and take some more photos of it at some point.

Dell :: BSOD M1730

Feb 20, 2010

My 1730 is not cooperating this morning. Been trying to figure out why Im having a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) everytime I try to open anything. It even crashed during a system restore and also during a power off at the Windows is Shutting Down screen.

Things had been working great up until last night. I was reading something on a webpage when I got a pop up window on the page I was on, and when I clicked the window closed, I crashed to blue screen of death.

Haven't been able to do much since then. Not sure if its hardware or software related, but I do notice that my McAfee isn't running now and when I try to update it says 'Components Are Missing' and to reinstall.

Can't get far enough in a reinstall before I crash again, so thats getting me no where.

I was able to do a system restore to a day earlier, but the problem is still there.

I also have no way to network in safe mode due to only having wireless internet access.

If anyone has any suggestions on where to get help to find out what might be causing the problem. Please let me know. I can follow instruction if anyone can walk me through what I need to look for.

Dell :: Replacing GPU In M1730

Jan 13, 2010

I am down to 1 GPU on my M1730, in the interest of replacing it , from the forum sticky these seem to be the options

XPS M1730
Nvidia 8700M (both single and SLI****)
Nviida 8800M GTX SLI
Nvidia 9800M GT SLI
Nvidia 9800M GTX SLI

(I assumme this list is complete still . i.e. no 260's or 280's available)

Other than Dell or EBay are there any other sites , suppliers that people know of who might supply one of the above

DELL want 340 + Vat for a sli 8700m and there is every so often a 8800M for sale on ebay but they typically want approx 500 pounds for it (anyone had experience of buying one?)

I am dubious about the 8800 as evidence suggests it runs hot so would prefer a cheap 8700m or a warrentied 9800M

Dell :: M1730 Got Shipped

May 27, 2009

So my M1730 got shipped yesterday... they gave me 2 tracking numbers-- both were used in august 08.. So I waited it out, and later on, the two tracking numbers both updated... Both of them say "Electronic info received".

I call Fedex this morning, they tell me Dell hasn't shipped anything yet. I call Dell, the lady tells me it was shipped and not to worry. I don't know who to believe..

So basically I can't track my package and know when its coming....

Do you guys know what is wrong with it?

Dell :: Crysis And GTA IV On M1730

Mar 12, 2009

I'm looking into getting the M1730 w/ X9000 (overclocking it to 3.4 Ghz), 9800M GT in SLi and 4 GB of RAM but I wanted to see how would it perform w/ the most demanding games out there i.e. Crysis and GTA IV.

if their settings and resolutions were maxed out. I know that X9000 is slower than the newer X9100 and QX9300 but is it gonna affect perormance a lot. Is it worth getting X9000 or is this CPU getting old now..

I still want a system that would be powerful enough for the next 2-3 years but I'm a bit hesitat to get the X9000. Can anyone let me know how those 2 games perform on the M1730 if the cpu is overclocked to 3.4 Ghz?..
