Re: E6400 overheating throttling
Like I said, many people (but not all) with the Nvidia solution, where able to fix (or amazingly improve the situation to a point that their is no visible problem) their problem by having their motherboard and heatsink replaced at the same time. If you can get Dell tech support to replace both for you simultaneously, then it would be great.
Why both together?
- When the heatsink is replace, Dell doesn't remove the old thermal past, and oil on the processors. They just add the heatsink above it all, and call it a day. This makes the situation worse.
- When Dell replaced the motherboard, again, Dell won't apply new thermal past. They will just put the old heatsink back. This will cause bad contact with the heatsink, which will make things worse.
