Hi I'm planing to get an xps 15 i read that this model hav the USB3.0 prob

http://en.community.dell.com/support-forum...t/19353745.aspx

any of u guys encounter this prob? or is it solved?

i'm using a USB3.0 2.5" hard drive and i haven't encountered that problem at all. the issue is dated back to november of 2010 and i only got my hard drive about 3 months ago. so i assume the problem has been fixed?

there is a software for USB 3.0 available to download from Dell.

i downgraded my nVidia driver version from 275.33 to 259.51 (the default pre-installed factory version) and my temps went down from the usual 65c+ to an average of 55c now. huge difference in temps. hmmm..

Btw, do you always keep monitoring the nVidia temp? You shouldn't done that to let it sleep instead of waking up periodically just to check the temp and increasing the power consumption/heat..

i monitor the nvidia gpu temps by leaving the laptop on idle with hwmonitor on, and coming back every 10minutes over a span of an hour to check on the temps.

Won't that be keeping the nVidia keep awake ? Why not just keep using Intel HD ?

because i have the l501x i7 version. it doesnt have optimus :/

I see.
The temp difference for different driver, might be because the nVidia Powermizer not working properly..
e.g. The nVidia run at full speed although just idling (Powermizer is not working)

is there any way to fix that?

hey guys, my xps 15, the right hinge is a little loose. should i be worried? should i call dell?

call dell. they'll most probably fix it for you

wrong place to post
