dang... i bought my vostro 3750 but with 32bit... aiyooooo

Checkout this thread, http://forum.notebookreview.com/windows-os...sta-before.html
It said the oem windows come with dell can use either 64bit or 32bit, but limited to the version you bought, eg, home premium or professional. And dell windows key can only use for dell computer and not others like asus, require same brand.

I have not tried it. Use it at your own risk. Do some own research b4 u try.

Good luck.

anyone use 2 ext usb 3.0 HDD with 3750 ?

can someone suggest the best cooler pad for dell vostro 3700 for me??

@cinebao
sorry I have no prior experience with that, since 3750 is a advance upgraded version of 3700.

@luqman092
If you're looking for a cooler that fits 17" try the Coolermaster Notepal U3. The cost is around RM80-RM100 if I'm not mistaken. Comes with customizable fans which can be placed onto the cooler pad according to your laptop vents.

Hi guys,

I can't find any vostro 3700/3750 on the dell website anymore...discontinued already?

Cheers

@jigon: you're right, I can't seem to find it either. Now the biggest size is 15" only. That's quite sudden.

dell US still available, us site has new vostro 3555

I feel cheated when I buy this vostro 3750 since it cant handle 2 external usb 3.0 HDD at the same timen with 2 usb3.0 ports ? (2.5” usb3.0 + 2.5” usb3.0) or (2.5” usb3.0 + 3.5” usb3.0)

I own the Vostro 3700 and its already giving me issues with overheating. Tried playing a 3d based game and the heat of the GPU goes up to 90 celcius within 15min. And thereafter, it just shuts down and goes to sleep automatically.

Its sad. Anyone got solution?

I read online that many had called up to Dell and asked for a motherboard change within the warranty period. Airflow problem with the 1st gen i5.

Open the notebook up, clean the dust and repaste the thermal paste.

I was taking up tips from this thread and now I'm eyeing the Cooler Master Notepal U3. It looks like a superb solution. The other is the Targus Chillpad, but it only come with 2 fans, so it looks like U3 is still the winner for me.

But which one cools better? A pad with more fans or a pad with one gigantic fan - Notepal X2 (http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6610)

lee_what2004, thanks for the advise on the dusting the fan, but I guess I'm not prepared to open up my laptop yet.. ;o(... afraid butterfingers might mess the motherboard up.

If you still under warranty, you can call Dell to do the cleaning.
U3 would be the better solution, since you can arrange the fan to the heat spot..
But DIY fan cooler will be the best one

I'm also facing this problem with my Vostro 3700, I bought CM Notepal Ergostand and still overheating and shut down. Is it true that Vostro 3700 motherboard has a new revision that address the overheat problem? I bought my 3700 on March 10 and guess my 3700's motherboard is the 1st revision, just want to make sure that if I send it back to Dell and they can fix this overheating problem.

You don't need to send back to Dell, they will come to your place to do the repair..

That's mean they just come over my place and do cleaning that's all? Actually I want to replace the motherboard with newer revision(assuming the new revision of motherboard is true), I wonder they can do them at my place within one day.

Disassembling/assembling at most 1-2 hours..

Just want to confirm again, is it true that there's a new revision of 3700 motherboard that address the overheating problem? Need to know coz I'll request them to change the motherboard when I call Dell.
