annoying when u playing games.. the speed of fan works normal when u play texas poker.. if normal browsing the fan won't move.. back to basis.. when cpu usage above 10 then the fan will start working.. the higher the usage the higher the fan speed.. hdd only got 5400 & 7200 rpm.. u tweak to 7500 rpm?

Added on May 3, 2011, 3:08 pmbut i don't like the feel when playing poker the fan works.. if play games the sound can cover the fan noise but depend.. if the fan speed is around 5k++ rpm then is very noticeable & damn irritating.. if 3-4K still acceptable if playing games.. meaning running around 60-70%.. 5k++ rpm is like 100% fan speed...

can clarify this? DELL GPU upgrade
post here or gt other dell section

this thread is dead ok?? i made this alive! dude..

gt see the link? gpu upgrade.. is it possible?

hahaha paiseh.. is possible but is expensive.. this world everything is possible so depend! is not really worth it.. u know y? some GPU dun match v ur mobo some r but u need do some homework but even u change it the card that support the gpu won't be so much different.. of cos the new gpu u bought will be better than previous gpu.. in meantime ur mobo still old but if u change mobo i think u better buy new laptop since the price also same.. ppl change gpu due to the gpu spoil only & the rest no problem.. if desktop different story.. as long the mobo support the gpu u wanna buy there is a will!
i just called dell.. they denied the issue N5010 got the fan problem & heat issue.. the technician will contact me & come to change the fan!

o....like that... still need match with mobo support fan failure? btw, gt people sell notebook fan?

That one if only your notebook is using MXM..

MXM wats dat

Basically the connector for the dedicated GPU, which is on the link you posted. If yours is using MXM, then you have the possibility to upgrade GPU..

benifits having MXM

never see at shop before...

Never heard of Dell Inspiron has MXM, not even Dell XPS has it. Normally only gaming laptops like Alienware, Asus G series and Sager have it.

If you want a gaming laptop with MXM, get at least RM 4k and go for Sager NP8130, that's the cheapest gaming laptop so far.

The inspiron 1520 last time got MXM or reversed MXM, either one of it..

gaming that gt 4k o'd have MXM ROG G53 cnfrm have it la...

Asus like to use reversed MXM though, so not much choice also

thats Asus, if XPS, it have? XPS quite expensive oso

Which XPS ? Most likely no, unless you mean XPS M1730, but using different connector..

Still unknown, need people operate it first

Even if you can get a good graphics card, it will still be a great challenge to run 3D games with high graphics settings because Inspiron/XPS are running on a single fan and heat sink is shared between GPU and CPU. XPS has 2 fans but the other fan is so small that I doubt it does any significant help in reducing temp.

Surely when you want to upgrade your graphics card, mostly the reason would be for gaming purpose. However, you might wanna consider whether it is worth for the upgrade or not because heat might be a very critical issue. You won't want to be disappointed when your GPU temp is running high with the new GPU, right?
