SXPS 1647 Throttling

I just bought an SXPS 1647 (I believe... I have the core i5-540 processor) and I wanted to know how the throttling issue effects these models.

Is it less of an issue because the i5's are less power hungry?

Has there been any response from dell about the throttling on this model? Are people requesting the 130Watt adaptor?

there has, all you have to do is update to the newest bios. and request a new 130 watt adapter if yours is getting to hot.

EDIT: here is the bios http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&releaseid=R262710&SystemID=STUDIOXPS1647&servicetag=&os=W764&osl=en&deviceid=22350&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=4&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=0&libid=1&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&fileid=386010

 

Ok, so there's something I don't understand. The impression I get about the problem is that the system (in some cases) needs more than the 90W that the original power brick can provide... so I can see why the system slows down or cannot handle high end games. But why would that cause it to overheat. In general doesnt more power = more heat dissipated? Why would providing up to 130W, therefore allowing the system to use more power make it cooler?

 

If you are using an adapter at its max wattage for a steady time they tend to heat up. Compared to an adapter that is at 75% usage. I used to have a 90 watt adapter and it used to get HOT, My friend joked one time that he was worried it was going to burn a hole into his couch when he picked it up. 130 watt adapter will get warm not hot. more stress on the adapter more heat
