does anyone know if there is software or a bios hack to change the ram bus speed? the m1730 is getting beat by a gateway because the bus speed on it is 1066 and it seems like we are stuck at 667.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI recently downloaded A06 version of the Dell Inspiron 15r 5521 bios, and I was wondering if (and how) it is possible to change the fan speeds and temperatures for my system. I can't find any option for this.
I use F2 to reach the Setup bios interface.
how can i change my speed of fan on my sony vaio FW laptop, any programs i can use.

at present im using rivatuner to ic my gpu and rmclock to undervolt my cpu could i possibly use these programs to control my fan? if not then are there any programs that would allow me to do this?
I just reinstall windows xp pro on my dell inspiron 9200 and it show that I only useing 600MHZ CPU speed eventhough I have 2GHZ...
I used to change it back to 2GHZ nad I forgot how to do it..
I have a dell sxps 13 right here alongside a white 13" macbook from 2007.
I bought a ssd not too long ago for the sxps and just tested the boot time between the two.
now HOW in the *insert cuss word* world does the macbook still beat the ssd in boot up time? Anyone care to elaborate on this .....
i am looking at dell laptop, inspiron vs latitude (both have lots of promotion going on recently)
according to wiki, both e6400 and e6500 can support ram clockspeed at 800mhz, but i can't find similar information about the inspiron models.
Is this reasonable? Please see HDTune screenshot.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just ordered a Dell Studio 14 today, and it comes with 4GB of DDR3 1333MHz ram but in the Order Status page is says that it runs at 1066MHz. I was wondering why it is underclocked. Is it limited by the bus speed? Also, if it is limited to that speed, why would they sell 1333MHz ram if the max speed is 1066MHz?
View 10 Replies View RelatedDoes anybody have HD Tune or HD Tach benchmark for 1.8" 128GB SSD that comes in E4200 ?
I originally ordered refurbished E4200 with 64 GB SSD because I read it has better performance compared to 128GB model, but canceled the order because I realiezed 4 cell battery might be too small and the one I ordered does not come with fingerprint reader and bluetooth.
I ordered another one with 128GB SSD, fingerprint reader, 6 cell battery and bluetooth for just $40 more. (at cost of a little slower processor and no DVD-RW and latitude on capability )
I found HD Tune bechmark result for 64GB SSD, but I don't see benchmark for 128GB model.
I will be great if someone with 128GB SSD post HD Tune benchmark or at least post its modem number so I can read specifications.
R173J Module,Solid State Drive,128G S2,Thin Micro Sata,Samsung,XLO
This is what it says on my order, which is not very helpful in figure out what this SSD really is, other than its samsung model.
I ran several system checking software suites which showed errors in the hardware configuration because the motherboard is only capable of supporting a FSB of 800MHz.
Does anyone have a similar issue or can provide an explanation about this?..
I know the memory is 800MHz but I expected this deluxe CPU to be supported by the motherboard and run at 1066MHZ...
Does anyone else have a low wireless connection speed with their dell latitude e6400? I have full signal strength and yet the speed is only 5.5 mbps.
All the other computers/laptops in the house that uses the wireless gets 54 mbps while my latitude gets 5.5 and sometimes it will go up to 9 and down to 6 or 2 and it's just not constant.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
my fan has been going off erratically. Sometimes I'm not even doing anything and it'll turn on.
I'd like to hav ea program that will recognize and monitor the fan speed over a period of time, not necessarily regulate the speed
So does anyone know of one that actually works? I have tried i8kfangui, but it no longer works with Windows Vista 64 bit, due to the unsigned drivers issue.
I disabled the signed drivers thing by booting while pressing F8.. and it installed perfectly and worked until I restarted Windows normally..
Then it said fanio driver not found or something, and refused to work unless I boot by pressing F8..
So anyone have a solution? Speedfan doesn't seem to work either.. I want to set the fans not to kick in so load until a certain temp .....
I have noticed an interesting issue with my new e6400. Whenever my system is on battery power, my processor speed maxes out at 783 MHz no matter the load on the system.
I am starting to find this pretty annoying. Even when my usage is up to 100% the processor does not speed up to its max of 2.53 GHz causing my laptop to run pretty slow.
Since I recently upgraded to BIOS A12, my XPS 1530 fan goes at full speed when gaming, even if the temps don't go too high...
If I pause the game and go do something else for 1-2 hours, the fan will be at full speed those 1-2 hours... it is better to quit the game instead of just pausing in those cases?
Did a goggle search and couldn't find an answer to "What is the XPS Motherboard Model: Dell Inc. 0D501F max supported RAM speed?"
Using HWiNFO32 it says "DDR2 Frequency Support:333MHz (DDR2-666)". It also reports that the current "Memory Speed: 333.3MHz (PC2-5300)" Ok, so far so good.....
Under SMBIOS DMI -> Memory Devices -> Memory Device both sticks of RAM are listed as "Memory Speed:667MHz" .....
All right, what doesn't look right here?

I just upgraded to 4gb RAM on my 1521 from 2gb. After I installed it I checkethe <Properties> on XP to see if all the RAM was showing up, 3.37gb showed up. But I noticed the processor speed was down to only 795mhz, so I checked it with CPU-Z again and that read 795mhz as well.
I went into BIOS and turned off the AMD PowerNow option and it bumped it back to 1.9ghz. I ran CPU-Z again and it was at like 1.895.2ghz, but i noticed the bus speed was down to 199.5 mhz. Shouldn't that be like 333 or something? I've attached some screenshots from CPU-Z after turning off AMD PowerNow, with PowerNow all cpu specs are much lower.
i recently upgraded my 1730 with a x7900 cpu.. when i overclock this cpu to 3.4ghz, as soon as the system reboots when exxiting the bios the fan speeds go to max speed and are very loud. when i get to the desktop i cant even turn the fans down or off using fangui.. does anybody else have this issue and is this the bios making the fans go full blast.. this is hard to use the lappy at 3.4 when the fans are blasting full throttle all the time..

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'd like to upgrade the memory in my Dell Inspiron 1501 from 1gb to 2gb. I checked the memory with Everest, and it claims the memory is DDR2-667mhz.
I checked the memory on the Dell site for the 1501, and they're saying PC6400 800mhz.
Newegg is offering memory for the 1501 PC2 4200 533mhz.
I'm getting a little confused, as I thought one had to match the speed with the original chips and PC type. Not so? Which to buy?
i've searched around a bit and see i'm not the only one who hates this touchpad (just traded "up" from an 8 year old machine whose pad worked flawlessly), but no-one's mentioned my gripe yet:
the tap speed cannot be adjusted high enough to keep up with the taps when tapping the scrollbar equal to using the button. i use my laptop for newsreading so accurate line-by-line tap-scrolling is something i've come to take for granted, but on this machine
i have to use the button or deal with 2-moves-to-every-5-taps scrolling - unacceptable! especially when machines from 10 years ago are care-free. having this pad on my beautiful new Dell is like getting a new Ferrari with a loose steering wheel
I just bought a new dell xps 1340 with 2.4 GHZ cpu p8600
but when i checked with cpu-z newest version the speed is limited at 1.6 GHz
I have installed a 6gb/s ssd into my l521x; however, I am getting 3gb/s speeds (~250mb/s read and write)
Is there a setting to enable 6gb/s speeds on the l521x?
It appears the l521x has the HM77 chipset which does support 6gb/s throughput ?
Or should I stay with vista?
View 15 Replies View RelatedI'm running stock 2x 512 mb 533 Mhz ram right now.
I would like to upgrade but I can't find information about my motherboard ANYWHERE. It's not listed on the dell system specs website, either.
So, my question comes down to which would be better:
PC-5300 (667Mhz) ram with 4-4-4-12 timing or PC-6400 ram (800Mhz) with 5-5-5-18 timing?
What is the maximum speed of memory that the e1505 can use? If it's 667 Mhz, I'm of course going to go for the ram with faster timing, but if it's 800 Mhz then I'll go for the speed. I'm using a 2.0 GHz core 2 if it matters, and all I could find it bios is that it's a mm061 "system
I have a 1520, 2Ghz Duo, 2.5 Gb Ram, running XP.....I also have a Line6 Guitarport USB audio interface. When I use this the audio often drops out a lot, especially when acessing the hard drive - what can I do about this? -
it's a 5400RPM drive - will upgrading to a 7200RPM improve things? It seems something is effecting the USB data stream.
The hard drive I have is a WDC WD1200BEVS-75UST 120GB
Also, is the drive running in SATA mode - when using HD tune it says:
Standard: ATA/ATAPI-8 - SATA I
Supported: UDMA Mode 6 / ATA/133
Active: UDMA MODE 5 ATA/100
I've downgraded my Inspiron 1420 recently to XP SP3 with all the device drivers properly installed. Everything seems works fine except that I found fan1 & fan2 always on at max. high speed (very noisy) and CPU always max. at 1.5GHz (seems lost SpeedStep control, checked enabled in BIOS, with SpeedStep control cpu speed should drop to lower rate while the notebook is idle), the fans and cpu speed status are checked via the utility program I8KFANGUI.
If I enabled automatically temperature control in I8KFANGUI then fan1 can turn off as cpu cool down to below 55c and only turn on at Low speed at 60c (still very quiet, noise no noticeable) but still fan2 is always high at 4XX RPM constant rate, I8KFANGUI in fact reported fan2 is not controllable even for just turn on and off .....
