my first thread on any forum.....i have a video driver question

Thats the first i have heard of them offering that but if you could find out who contracts dells work locally you might be able to bribe them to come for $$.

 

so then alienware service center....? or what

 

nice i think i will do it....so what is the fastest processor i can put in here...i am ordering it tonight ....

 

Qx9300 or if you want Dual core X9100 . Me i wont run Dual cores but some prefer them .

 

You can do it yourself bro. Just be sure to take your time, have a large work area and review all service docs before proceeding.

Grab the Service Manual and refer to page: 74

Once you remove the heat sink, you will see your CPU.

You will also need to select a thermal goop to apply. There are several available with most people going with Arctic Silver. Just do a Google Search on "Thermal Compound" and "Applying Thermal Compound".

Ultimately, if you feel nervous about any of it or don't fully understand what it is you are doing - have someone else do it.

 

The Dell/AW tech didn't even suggest it and told him is was not over-clockable?!?!...scary

 

i'll gladly do it for money ..... better then working for subway
