What's the part No. of affected xps M1330 ?

Hi, I heard that some xps m1330 affected by Nvidea GPU problem, that part No. start with something . Can anyone pleased put this nomber to see whatever my 2 laptops affected or not ? Thank you

 

no, it varies by individual GPU, the entire batch isnt faulty. mine for examples runs perfectly fine. just monitor your temperatures during different loads of work. ie idle temperature, watching a movie, playing video games. i use hwmonitor and everest to monitor my gpu and core temperatures. i suggest you do the same if you are concerned.

 

Pretty much anything with the word NVIDIA is possibly defective. However the amount of defective-ness may vary

For example, take my 6 month old 8600m GT SLI notebook that is now on its 4th pair or 8600s. Then, look at my sister's MacBook Pro 15.4" that is a year old with an 8600m GT and it is still going strong.

Monitor temps and recommend the copper mod.

 

Actually because extreme heat the black panel wich wrote on it xps beside the Dell media direct button is expanded due to extreme heat now I have to go back and forth to stupid Dell service ! How a hell ! if so, I'll throw it into my little basket or at least into service operator big mouth

The entire batch is faulty. It's just WHEN it breaks that is a mystery. nvidia used the same filling on all of their chips but it's just a matter of time till yours screws up. It doesn't have to do much with the temperatures either although they do play a role. Why not read more about what the problem is as it isn't a heat issue that is breaking the chips nor a problem with how the chips are designed but more of the filling they used.

The chips should last a long time though I would say at least 2 years normally. Why? Because nvidia wasn't able to detect the problem at first and it went through their testing. It takes awhile for it to set in although their are extreme cases for people who use their PCs a lot and noticed high failure rates then. I don't know why people are underplaying the issue since it hasn't happened to them yet when it SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING until later.

Most likely it'll break within your warranty or towards the end of it if it does break and you will be able to have it replaced. The only real problem is that while it's being replaced you are without a laptop for a bit but it isn't that big of a deal for the design you get and the XPS brand and dell's great support.

 

Yes , when your machine smell like BBQ
