Guest boon1987 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 hi everyone, i got a question. Hope you can understand it. I own an dell XPS 1530 with 8600GT 256 DDR3. When i playing intensive game such as GRID, need for speed undercover and etc. I get the temperature of GPU using rivatuner is 90 degree celcius at peak and also canstantly. I am not overclock it. Is this normal or i shoud call dell to replace it? I see from other forum in this site, all of them get this around these temperature with overclock their card. And i not overclock and get this temperature. Note: my processor is T7700 2.4 GHz and using zalman cooling pad. Never apply new thermal paste. I hope i can get good advice from veteran. Thank You.

Thank You. definitely call dell, if your getting those temps without overclocking this is not normal. i have the same laptop as you, and have had my motherboard/heatsink replaced twice because of this same problem. good thing is dell is very fast, got it replaced within 2 days of calling, and its 100% free of course. you just have to call dell xps tech support and tell them your issue, and theyll replace it. good luck! :) Edited January 20, 2009 by coolcop06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
