Seems like the exhaust fans on my e1505 don't push much air. Are you guys feeling much air movement when you put your hand to the vents when the fans are on?

actually no. my fans dont seem to blow much at all. I played bf2 for like 2 hours with my video card overclocked and STILL the fans were on very low.
my xps2 used to pour heat compared to the E1505

What are you overclocked to? I've got my card at 550mhz and no signs of artifacting (but haven't played anything intensive for any length of time). Only getting 1900 3dmark05 score, though.

can you o/c your memory at all? i can't with pstrip and Ati tray tools doesnt even load. what kind of performance increase do you guys see from JUST a core overclock?

and yeah originally when i first got it, i remmeber feeling some air come out of the exhaust when the fans were on, but now i feel barely anything. i wish there was a program to control the gpu fan, hopefully the new i9k fan will work.

You know, it seems like when I first got mine the air movement was more noticeable too. Now it can't be felt.

I tried bumping the memory like 5mhz once at it just locked up (after reading that it would probably do this). My original 3dmark05 score was like 1729 (my score went down after doing a clean XP Pro install from MCE). Going from 512m or ram to 2gig did nothing for 3dmark scores (prob more noticeable ingame). I'm pretty surprised the gpu can be cranked up to 550mhz without any sign of problems.

my idea is that, since the E1505 (or core duo in general) doesn't make much heat, the cooling system doesn't have to move that much air. switching from an inspiron 9100 (three giant fans, at least two of them blasting at all times.. fire up a game and it sounds like a rocket taking off) to this is a world of difference!

well what do you expect, my 1.83 core duo idles at around 34 Celsius. Compared to my last pentium 4 that idled at 50 celsius!. This is one cool notebook, no need for a lot of fan in there.

Oh and there is NO GPU fan. There is only one fan and that one takes away the heat from both the CPU and the GPU

Is that with the X1300 or X1400 or the "integrated" graphics?

I'm thinking of getting one but am concerned that there's going to be fan noise with one of these cards. Thanks!

If you want to be able to bump memory up (and you do) then you HAVE to use PowerStrip v 3.63 build 540. Nothing else at all, that I have been able to find, will do it. Bumping mine up and running omega drivers, I have a 3dmark05 score of 2175, on a vastly cleaned up Dell image (not fresh install).

odd. my 6000 moves little heat also. think the fan does "only" what is needed. any faster wouldnt do much as air can only do so much ina laptop.

so i agree.

Whenever I game, I just use the "Enable fan forcing to high speed" on the i8kfangui program. The bios is set to not turn on fans until the laptop gets pretty hot. I don't think I've been able to get the fans to go on high by themselves yet.
