New XPS 15 user reporting in.. =) cant wait to play my new lappie.. counting down.. kekeke

Good! Finally a specific thread for XPS 14 and 15 laptops. Owned the laptop almost for a month now. Still haven't encounter any problem so far. Happily gaming

to anyone wanting to buy a Cooler Master NotePal Infinite for their brand new XPS, I strongly suggest you don't. I've just purchased one this afternoon and did some temp testings and found out that there's totally no difference in the temperature at all. I had a Cooler Master NotePal U2 and it effectively lowers the temperature of the laptop.. I strongly recommend U2 instead of infinite. save your $$!

i using U3 and evercool fairy

but when gaming also will reach around 80 C max =/

anyone using U2/ U3 mind give some suggestion how u guys put ur fan?

You should proceed with that yourself. It ain't that hard, yo.

Damn. I've got a CM X-Lite from this current laptop, future XPS 15 user reporting in.

Almost went for a MacBook Pro but in the end decided to save a little moolah and go for the more powerful & economical XPS 15. Hope I didn't make a bad decision, lol.

Thanks for the suggestion on NotePal Infinite.
I was looking into buying it before this.
Now, waiting for U3 to arriver.

I have been using cooler master u2 for my xps15....
i just set the fans blowing just below the area and vents under the touch pad

waiting for pc expo on 17th at Melaka and im gonna grab myself a u3 too !!~ xD

i probably want to get the belkin mastercube lightning surge for my xps and my computer eq...

is to proctect against lightning strike?

ya...=]

so anyone have done benchmark to poison me enough?? lol

i've done several 3dmark06 benchmark...and i gt upload it on another thread..the gt420m vs HD5650.....

Cooler Master U2 comes with 2 fans by default. Position 1 of the fan under the top left, just right under the laptop main vent, and the other one either in the middle region or slightly left to the touchpad should be the best locations. More fans can be bought from computer shops, specifically for U2 and U3 cooler pad, around RM20-25... (which i saw at All-IT Hypermarket, and also A-One plus)

Added on December 10, 2010, 12:32 pmIf don't have the budget to get a decent cooler pad, just find something like cubes, books, etc, to elevate the top left and right corner bottom, or all 4 corners of the laptop. Keep a good distance between bottom of the laptop and the desk or other surface you put ur laptop on. This will improve the air flow and at the same time improve the heat dissipation of the laptop. Don't ever occlude the laptop vents, which can easily cause laptop to overheat.
