Awesome... congrats on the 9300... yeah i hated having over 60 processes.. now with everything installed including antivirus and nvidia icon I have 26!

From what I have read pin-modding isn't that hard... but if something does go wrong I'm not sure how you could explain a broken processor to Dell... which processor do you have?

A good idea for any new 9300 owner is to check out Mr. K6's laptop tweaking guide *located in his signature*

I should have gotten the pro recovery cd.... i ordered mine with home loaded and an home recovery cd *kicks self*... i didn't know if they were smart enough to notice what I was going to try...lol

Who did you get the drivers from? Nvidia, laptop2go, or tweaksrus.. i used the tweaksrus 81.98 v2.25a drivers and got 3517 at stock speeds.. and yes you can overclock it and there are threads on it... its something that takes a while to...

sounds cool... if you do any overclocking of the gpu.. make sure fan 2 stays on high... its not required but probably a good practice I'm guessing those temps are at idle?

BTW, I would rather take the chance of losing a fan than losing a CPU or GPU.

From what I have heard, the fans have a life of around 30,000 hours which is about 3 1/2 years if you leave them on 24x7... so... I also heard that what kills them more than anything is excessive on/off cycles... so if you turn them on...

500 dollars?? 2 gigs of ram shouldn't be more than 140 shipped... its DDR2 Pc4200 ram.. get it from newegg for around 60$ a stick

Dang that sucks... I don't have any ideas.. except makin the "friend" pay for the damages he caused....
