    I have the 3 year complete care plan from Dell for my XPS M1530 and I was wondering if I overclocked the GPU using Ntune would that void the warranty?

    Well, if it completely died wouldn't they be able to see the overclocked speeds?

    No...if your GPU goes bad just take reinstall vista...tell them you tried to do that because you didn't know what to do...


    BTW: Ntune doesn't work on mine :( I get BSOD as soon as I agree to the Terms lol
