Just realised Od1n's rig is the highest spec'ed we have here. Haven't seen anyone using the newer 940XM i7 yet before him.
*
940XM is kinda active, even by idle its suddenly shoots ups to 68-70c if there is something working at the background.
The fan goes crazy for a few mins.
Didnt have time to test it yet, alot of works coming in. Typical raya timing, everything's in a rush sweat.gif

Guys..i ordered orion backpack from dell by using my friends address because i live in hostels..hard to receive parcel..if dell delivered and i am not at my friend home's at that time..what will happen?? do they leave anything..or can my friend mother's receive the parcel by just sign the letter..
*
They would send you a text if your rig has arrived in M'sia, and if you need to do any changes they also include a number for you to call. I think they let you change both location of delivery and time/date.

After upgrading my GPU, the next thing I wanted to upgrade was the cpu to a 940xm. But then I was adviced to wait till the new M17 comes out and get that instead of investing more and more on my M15x.... My 820QM will have to suffice for now....no problems so far...
I think you'll never have to worry about heat issue when using the M17x.
Reviews on gaming Pls. Need to get 2 for my friends.....awaiting real world gaming stats.
Whats special about this cooler that warrants the high price. A Zalman cost half of that which is why I'm asking

which zalman are we're talking here

they'd provide you with outdated DVD. go to Dell.My Support and download there.

just curious, you'd brought your monster directly from Dell, isn't it?
because those DVD just provide basic version of the driver. you can download the newer version based on the basic driver that you'd installed.

its a great guidance for someone that not really familiar with something like this smile.gif
*
yep, directly from dell, and yes i confirm its all outdated software, dloading new software from the website now and installing a fresh windows.

I encounter several problems while formatting the beast
[1] blank screen + restart after installing ATI new driver the 10.7. Sticking to the driver supplied from dells website clears the problem

[2]Turbo Boost Technology cannot be installed, after hours finding a solution, one person quote that its not a progra, its already embedded inside the BIOS.

[3]HDD failure, due to different configuration in the BIOS, i accidently used "load best setting", which made the HDD non SATA 0 capable. Switching the SATA 0 to enable actually finished the job

[4] Login wallpaper, After googling for ages, finally came across to a simple solution, but the solution was resolved several restarts later, which made me in the middle, searching for other solutions

[5] Starcraft 2 no unit problem, after installing all other software and finally patched sc2, i cannot see any one, after googling for some time, solutions was found by disabling crossfire, seems that SC2 got problems with the current 5870 Driver

QUOTE(deathbringer @ Aug 27 2010, 05:11 PM)
if it's just a one-off error, but installs alright, shouldn't be a problem.

if not, as i mentioned earlier, i highly suspect a hardware failure of some sort.

main culprits are RAM, HDD, or GC. since urs is new, might as well get Dell to diagnose the problem
*
I now know whats the culprit, its the sequence of installing softwares.
also, i dislike not knowing the problem, so i try to tackle it myself tongue.gif
