lol..will not oc it atm..scared

hidz7, i suggest u buy dis little monster someday..huhu

dx11 vs dx10.1 i guess.. just some minor difference..

Damn, nice one Fantasia and Kevin.
Please continue to show us screens

So I guess this answers a lot of our questions? Granted the C2D may not get as hot as the Ci5 but based on the GPU temps and CPU temps we can say there is no overheating problem on those units... and hopefully others.

One of the main concerns is overheating. Like many people have said, it is a situation where some get it and some don't. However if you do "get it" I suppose it just takes a call to Dell to get it sorted out.

How about gaming at a higher def, and then taking the Temp mid-game? Possible that this will raise temps.

So far temps looking good. But a lot of XPS reviews show high temp so that's why I (and others) are a little concerned, albeit this is understandable.

My i7-720QM (not a Dell) temps at 1366x768 High in Borderlands (2009).





Oh also I don't know how these sensors work cause different people will have different TJMax values... and also some programs will give readings that are 2/3C higher. So yeah it kinda reached boiling point.

ok, this is 45min cod4 in aircond room+cooler. setting still the same except i change the resolution to 1080p

I know its not XPS 16, but this is in comparison (because I am gonna buy the XPS 16 which has i5 and 5730 in 15.6inches).

Less than an hour of gaming. CPU and GPU. 87C Nvidia!

why said so ?

same lappy design, but way powerful than mine..

when come to gaming, it make no diffe i5 or i7 ! (most ppl said i5 better on gaming)
but current i7 spec price really attractive

But HD5730 and HD4670 differ

The Dell doesn't really want to give much discount, at RM4341 with no bag, only basic 1yr warranty (i5-520 + HD 5730).

Guys, does Dell give you the Windows 7 OS Installation CD (not the Recovery CD)?
Also it comes with a mouse right?

Some people get the disc, some don't...
and no mouse...

i got the windows 7 disc..but you need to pay more the get the mouse if im not mistaken rite?

Ahh some do and some don't. OK I'll make sure I ask and get it. Otherwise GG lah. I mean the license we buy is useless if it can't be used. Definitely want to reinstall the OS. And if each CD only corresponds to one key, then it should be safe. Except those hackers who make pirated ones.

Aww too bad about the mouse thing. I've always liked mice made by Dell: sturdy and durable, precise, accurate, high quality, simple yet stylish. I feel they are the best computer manufacturers' mice. Of course, there are lots of RM20 mice that perform 200x better than RM70 or RM100 mice. Depends.

Hey guys, just turn on my laptop, and suddenly got "Pre-boot system assessment"..
I didn't press anythg, it just start run...
So let it run.. bout 10 minutes...
Izit normal???
From the result, it say no problem.. when ask me want to continue the memory test for 30 minutes.., i simply select NO...

Studio XPS 1647 users, just wanted to ask, what keyboard functions are there on the Dell Studio XPS 16?

Are there Functions for the Webcam, Switching On and Off the Display etc?

I like the touch buttons

dell battery care, standby, brightness, keyboard backlit....
