the testpen light is on, will request a change maybe what is your temp. setting in I8kfanGUI? maybe dell would release a new bios which caters C2D fan spin threshold limit.

May 2006. Yes, it is quite worth the price.

You also receive the mail from dell? Offer you to upgrade your warranty, right? For me i think it is worth and I going to upgrade it. Look at the mail properly, it is 1 year next business day + 1 year complete cover. I think dell offer 2 kind of warranty, 1 is complete cover, another 1 is limitted warranty which not complete cover some damage.

there are a few packages actually...like 3 year complete and limited warranty, 3 yrs limited warranty, 1 year Complete cover, 2 years limited 1 year complete cover...or 1year complete and limited. but basically for explanation sake, its either complete cover, or limited warranty...limited warranty doesn cover accidental drops or spills, wherelse complete cover covers accidents...so obviously CC is much beta. yes it is very worth it as u got a peace of mind that they will repair and replace ur laptop even if u accidentally drop it into longkang...more details go to front page or dell.com.my...

u better do dude...don't wanna get zapped but remember tell them u got a shock tats why call them...

its up to u...i put turn on fan at 45 c - 65 c low, anything above 65 c fan goes into fast mode. hopefully la, then at least no need use 3rd party 2 control...

requested liao, a replacement will reach me by next wk. will I8kfanGUI conflict with NHC? i like NHC's cpu voltage control feature, the heat dissipation is lesser with voltage reduced and yet the system is still rock stable. maybe tonite will try to reduce voltage further down to 3-steps lower.

tats good...remember to test it then give them back the old adapter straight..safe the trouble of u having to arrange another time for them come pick it up. regarding the conflict im not very sure...have to ask sifu already

@PaiNai, advice noted.

a question to all, do u guys use Intel® PROSet/Wireless software or uninstall it? i find this bloated software is resource hogging. We can uninstall it and use back window's default one, rite? Thks~

it is depend on ur budgets and how r u going to use ur notebook ...

if u r a heavy user which allow ur notebook to be on at least more than 15hours++ and alwayz BT , then the RM530 is good enuf to cover the risk of notebook spoilt within this 3yrs...

Bcoz for a notebook , the Processor and motherboard is the most expensive part which can at least maybe cost u around RM1000++ and if ur mobo spoilt , u r going to dig ur wallet if there r no more warranty for it ...

So , it is encourage to get it bcoz it does cover lighting strike and everything except thief...If it is lost , then this 1 not covered lar...

Dell does offered 2 package that is limited warranty and completecover.

Limited warranty is juz warranty the part and labor and does not cover any unintentional accident . The different is juz if u drop ur notebook , limited warranty juz cover the change of ur mobo , hdd , processor and ect , while completecover allow u to hav a new replacement unit if ur system is drop and cannot be repair anymore .

It runs fine on my system. But of course you can uninstall it if you want.

jus called dell for a replacement for the adapter and questioned them on the light leakage. the guy put me on hold then when he got bac, guess wat he told me.... "the screen is normal. its due to the design of widescreen lcds".. i was like WTF!@ noob tech support. then told me dat eventhough he changed it for me, the result wud be the same.. *sigh*.. in the end.. i jus got adapter replacement only...

Intel® PROSet/Wireless software runs fine on my system too, just that it involves too many process handlers (EvtEng, RegSrvc, WLKeeper, S24EvMon, ifrewrk, ZCfgSvc), so think out want to squeeze more juice for other application

is the upgrade rm340 for 1 year and 530 for 2 years worth? what is the basic price to upgrade when purchasing the 6400?

well it is worth it of course..they ask u wanna upgrade? wah i jst check online upgrade to 3 years Complete cover RM 550 wor..so worth it of course for u...since u got urs for a year i assume and upgrade ano 2 years = 3 years CC for RM 530..

I already have 3 yrs CC
Whom is planning to top it up to 5 yrs CC? Whom of u plan to use this babe till then??? Just curious

huh? got option upgrade to 5-yr? how muchy?

btw, uninstalled Intel® PROSet/Wireless software and use windows one, saved me 30++MB under system processes. wondering what is its advantage over windows bundled wireless software?

wah can 1 ah? interesting..but don't think my laptop can last tat long la...will be outdated by then!

I also feel that the Intel PROSet/Wireless software eat a lot of resources, changed to windows before but i changed back. Because I like the icon

go to task manager and look at processes, those EvtEng, RegSrvc, WLKeeper, S24EvMon, ifrewrk, ZCfgSvc processes are belong to it, and they consume close to 40MB resource if i'm not mistaken

I say get the 3 years complete cover. Definitely worth the upgrade!
