    I ask the support about the overheating problems with XPS 1330.
    This is the answer :)

    There is no known overheating problem with the XPS 1330 Systems.
    I wish you a nice week

    This answer is from the Europa support.

    I think it might it true. There WAS overheating issues with XPS M1330 with 8400M. But with the driver update and newer cards, it could have been a thing of the past.

    What newer cards? Have you done any testing because the A11 bios doesn't do squat in reducing temperatures? It's a design problem and Dell's tinkering of the bios and throwing reburbished motherboards into our systems won't change a damn thing. Don't buy into Dell's damage control denial.

    The nVidia problem has nothing to do with a BIOS update. The cards need new drivers, but overall have a design flaw. The driver update would just be a stop gap fix.
