Never buy a dell laptop without warranty :P.

Uhm, 78C under full load after 4 hours of ATItool? U're kiddin' me, right? My 7800 GTX stock hit 92C easy after half an hour of FEAR. OC'd as it is, it hits 105-109C under full load (C&C3), and it's been oc'd for 2 years now ^^. I...

hm, out of no-where, from overheating? Either you overclocked it too much and never noticed the heat, or the dust in the heatsinks got so bad, that the cooling crapped out. I have a gen-2 (practically the same computer) and i have to...

Yeah, im not sure im ok with that. The only true difference between them is the graphics card, and so that you have a substantial performance difference, graphics wise, you need to invest 1.5k$ more. THATS the difference, the rest is so...

thx, but they're not stuck. They do what they should, it's just the backlight thats missing.

Hey, Ive had my gen-2 since over 2 years now, I think. Hmm, I got it for Oblivion and F.E.A.R., that must be over 2 years now, right? Yeah, and right after I got it, the 7800 came out, and i got it for 200$ ^^. Now, it's been...
