Dell Inspiron 14R/15R/17R Turbo Laptop Thread

[warfreak]

I think the lower RAM can be overclocked, but if you have been using this for a while and faced no issues I don't see why you should even bother.
But for those who intend to upgrade later on should keep this in mind.

That is one of the reasons why me and girishpaiv are planning to have the RAM upgrade from Dell as RAM with 11-11-11-28 latency is not available elsewhere.

Couldn't agree more. The best practice IMO is to purchase a module of same brand and make to ensure both modules are of same frequency and latency.

Now i am even more confused ....

Should i buy the 15R SE i7, 4gb model and upgrade RAM from Dell or buy one on my own and install it???

Coz i was planning on doing the 2nd option....But I am a lil skeptic after seeing the above post. Plz guide.

IMO better to save money and purchase other RAM from market of same frequencies like me. It's better if you get of same brand, then 100% fine.
There is no issue, i faced yet. Also ico said there is negligible difference in real world performance if use of two different brands.

I guess i would go for buying on my own and installing. Other than that, are there any other problems?? Other than performance issue which seems to be very small?

Will take some time for posting gaming temps and performance as i currently don't have any recent games, but can someone tell me that how to limit the turbo boost, got a turbo boost monitor from dell, it boosts itself to 2.3-2.7ghz idling, and while i was playing ashes 2009, it boosted to 3.1ghz, how to control it??

not really! You've already ordered. I just got the quotations today from dell at 5:30 pm. I am going to the sales tax office tomorrow, and speed posting the road permit then only. After they receive it, I will make an NEFT. So, unfortunately my order will be 3 more days late

congrats mate.......ur idle temps readings r similiar to mine though 2-3 C less i think due to AC...so at least idle temps r confirmed..... try to get temp readings for MW3,BF3,MAXPAYNE 3 etc too

anyway regarding battery wear level mine has got 1% tommorrow i.e after 10 days of use

Thanks buddy...
mm..Nothing to worry abt the battery wear
..I guess its due to the testing aka amount of QC done on a particular product...

well urs may just have gotten into the 2% level and sisley's cud be on the verge of 1% completion and entering 2% soon...

Enjoy dude..

@ratul Congrats for your new lappy. I want to tell you turbo mode is automatic process, you can't stop or control turbo mode. It will use as per the requirement.

yes, the temps are after 8 hrs. of use....

Hope mine does'nt reach 10% after 10 days..
