  • lol someone gave me this laptop for free.  I am not joking.

  • @6skateitup9 Just a matter of time for the gpu to die...

  • I would have got the M1730 but it's out of date. The CPU, memory, video card, the motherboard is all out of date. I would be using more watts for less power and less battery life if I got that instead of this Asus.

  • I had this laptop and the Bass was Amazing. The best laptops that are built off sound, the HP one at best buy with the Bass cranked is like 1/16th the bass of this thing. I got an Asus G51JX-X5 and it's like no bass at all. I remember when I was hearing the bass of the M1710 I was like this is the way it should be. Nothing matches this. Not sure why.

  • overclocking laptops is awesome. wish more manufacturers did this

  • What are the possible options for stopping of overheating on these ? I just ordered a refurbished one for a mere £299, although Im well aware of the overheating as its such a high spec beautiful Lappy. Some say simply vacuuming it often helps....? Or can I buy a universal fan to add or ? Any help would be appreciated.

  • Will this help me while i edit full hd videos with for example sony vegas pro 9 ?? is there any upgrades or sumthing i can use that will make my sony vegas lagg less while i edit full hd videos?

  • @bboyta yea hd lags with me too. im using pinnacle studio 12. aparrently you should have a minimum spec of 2.40ghz to edit hd footage. my xps 1710 is 2.16 :(

  • OH i just got mine new m1710 laptop awesommmmmmmmmmmmme .... a promotional company gave it to me for review ...........Its freaking awesome ... Fast but only prob is overheating but otherwise this thing rocks...I will share with you possible fixes very soon.

  • xps and alien ware fucking rule there as good as mac acctuallly almost better my dell m170 2 gigs of ram pentuim m prossesor almost nis faster and smoother than core i7 8 core mac custum build 17 inch wide screen

  • @safet141414 What?

  • Hello, on some other xps m1710 videos on YouTube I have seen they have got there LED lights to go with music. Could you please reply? From Joel

  • @kingjoel0

    Ya it's a plug-in for winamp...it's cool at first but then just starts getting annoying.

  • How can i upgrade my BIOS?

  • How do I tell which processor I have. I have this puter with the 2.33 chip but the system properties list a T2700? Could that be right? No OC for me?

  • I still own this M1710 it still work perfectly, and another M1330 this model is such rubbish replace motherboard 3 times within 2 years of warranty and just dead again last week.

    -No more Dell for me , i so happy about M1710 but not M1330 to current.

    -Mine M1710 is getting old now.

    -Thanks for video, i am now trying to OC this thing.

  • Yah, sure. The only thing, Patrick..., is that the XPS 1710 and 1730 bought between 2005 and 2008 have ALL the same structural problem with their NVIDIA GeForce video card dying after 12 to 18 months of use.

    Which make this, top of the line laptop a..infect piece of sh*t

  • @gdelaporte had mine for over 3 years now and it has the same video cards in it and i game all the time

  • @gdelaporte yep big time i been thought 7 m1730 2 m1710s dont buy dell

  • nvm i got it. the 'G' behind the processor number is the crucial thingy here.

    T7600 versus T7600G

    :<

  • i got the latest BIOS A07 and intel core 2CPU 7600 at 2.33GHz and there is no such option like overcloking in my bios.

    i also got an OT question:

    what is your windows experience index?

    ty

  • overclock? what a fail lol

  • Thanks for the tutorial!

    However I do not have that option in my BIOS:/ Yes, I have an XPS M1710.

    Any suggestions?

  • update your BIOS

  • @TheSaltyAdmiral I don't have this laptop, but there might be a BIOS update for it that allows overclocking.

  • My Dell XPS M1710 don´t have a OC function!

  • Wow I never knew that my computer could do so much O.O

  • Sorry but I cant stop laughing when he looks at the camera.

  • @user12119 lol, same

  • what are the dangers of overclocking?

  • over heating

  • the principal it's the heat overheating the cpu

  • I believe if you can't mod the voltage, the battery life should stay roughly the same.

    And I doubt any laptop manufacturer would let you mod the voltage.

  • hey everyone,

    I have a problem.

    I bought a xps 1710 like 3 months ago.

    not a second hand one either.

    Ands i'm tying to overclock it,

    But it says that there is already a set admin password.

    No one has touched my PC and i've never set a password.

    Does anyone know how i can change it.

  • try just hitting enter, as in no password whatsoever,.

  • Didntt work.

  • I really wish that overclocking was available on the T7400 CPU.

  • can anyone tell me how to overclock my toshiba satellite?

  • Help! Mine doesn't show that CPU Overclocking Support or whatever. What do it do?

  • How much is this going to cost me sire?

  • dell is crap realy

  • dell was allways shit when you see the new tcl verone n17 you will say that all the computers are shit it has wireless keyboard touch mouse pad built in webcam plus microphone 3watt speakers 3 hard drives 3 usb ports express card slot plus the reddot design award winner 2006 bluetooth wireless intel proset wireless internet microsoft windows xp sp2 dolby home theater intel viiv realtec hd audio manager i got it it is mad it is like a laptop it runs on battary or ac its got a 17 inch screen

  • may i know how much cost  dell loptop sir.....? and may i know orfree delivery

  • what's that game he's playing .

  • i loved the casing of the laptop and the lid was cool,not like the current dells lol. the current ones look dreadful,im waiting for new models and casing to come out lol

  • XPS series are sick!! they are very expensive but it's worth it!! i'm gonna buy one but not desktop

  • when overclocking a laptop do i need a new fan or something coz it could overheat

  • so you can only overclock to a certain degree allowed by the BIOS? no multiplier, FSB or voltage manipulation?

    something is fishy about this simplified OC!

    not to mention he says "your mileage can vary, we are overclocking parts here..." well duh,

    considering you have a shitty laptop equipped with shitty heatsinks/cooling mechanisms.

  • I have a dell laptop, but how do you make it wireless? On my old HP you just flipped a switch. Someone help!

  • AAA Title? like the motor club?? I had them tow my car from Orange to Burbank once... Top Notch service!!

  • I have a Dell xps m1710, yet whenever i go into my overclock support section in the bios, no new screen is listed, just the previous one for the hdd stuff.. Any ideas why?

  • Update bios?

  • you dont have the CPU for it .. like i have to 2.0 GHZ and that CPU doesnt suport dells over clock

    i thnk its the 2.8 Ghz CPU that you can only over clock with ..

  • how much are dell laptops???:)

  • go to dells website

  • they are just too much,,this one is over 3000$,,buy elian ware

  • A. This laptop is not being made by Dell anymore, so it's not $3000.

    B. Alien Ware is owned by Dell, and Dell tends to run cheaper than Alien Ware.

  • Alienware is WAAAY too overpriced. also, alienware comes with shit graphics cards, plus no gpu. only idiots who know NOTHING about computers get alienware... plus, alienware is going out of business.

  • no it's not??? it's been bought out by dell for awhile. and a graphics card IS a GPU. but i agree, they're way to overpriced.

  • I've had so many problems with my XPS M1710. Graphics cord burned out... power cord had to be replaced several time.. screen had to be replaced.

  • Lovely laptop....

    Especially since you do not have to worry about things like voltage and other stuff, since it does it automatically when you choose to overclock. I suppose there is not an option too high above 3 Ghz because it would overheat, but still awesome.

  • im looking to get a dell xps m1710 really soon and i was woundering if all of the m1710's can be overclocked like the 2.0GHz the 2.16GHz and the 2.33Ghz version.

    And what if i have it overclock to like 2.5Ghz and then put it on the battery would it just atimaticly got back to default or what would happen

    Thanks:)

  • Hey, im just wondering, I have an Hydra A17 gaming notebook, do you think that i can overclock my cpu to 3,16 ghz, its at 2,40ghz.

    Is my laptop going to get warmer and make more sound.

    sorry for my English.

  • I have same laptop as twiiezz and i also can not find it

  • why cant i find the Overclocking setup with my dell xps m1710 (2.16GHz)

  • hey can i overcloak a lattitude d150 ram 248 intel m celeron 150 ghz xp?

  • latitiude d510 esque me equivoque

  • Just watch the goddamn video and stop wining.

  • so... what happened to the development of the LEDs functionality in games?

  • Tere is no "CPU Overklocking support" button under the performance-tab on my m1710 :S :,(

    What is the problem??

  • You had to buy the best processor upgrade the T7600G which was a special Dell version that was simply unlocked for overclocking. I bought it and really it's not even worth it because it actually throttles the clock speed.

  • Could you run some benchmarks so i know how mutch better it is? Cus i i've been planing to buy a T7600G. plz, thx...

  • will it work with the e1505

  • yea you cant overclock to much or the heat will reduce the life of ur pc... but dude that sweet ass dell liquid cooling pc... i bet you can overclock that like crazy

  • You can only overclock a t7600G processor(which you pay extra for) natively without any tampering or 3rd party software/hacks. Meaning, Dell will only allow you to overclock this processor because it has the G at the end. Even though it is exactly the same in performance as the t7600.

  • Those are some smart people over there...

  • Is it ok to overclock your laptop all the time, won't it sort of 'Kill' the processor???

  • i really don't know....

    u use more trial-n-error process

    i have an old p4 processor wit ht technology

    its 2.8 standard, but i can overclock it to 3.1 with tat cheap air cooling fan it came with... if i go any higher, for some reason, the sound card stops working (no sound comes out of my speakers). but when i reboot it, it goes back to 2.8ghz again, so its back to normal.

  • try doing it yourself, but just go slowly up.

    like just 20mhz faster each time.

    if something goes wrong, then u went just a little too high... just write ur highest speed u can reach on a peice of paper and save it somewhere

    also, i don't think it will go higher than 3ghz, but still u have dual core, so that better than my 3.1ghz single core.

  • omg i want an xps soo bad, the led is freakin awesome btw!!

  • how come i cant overcloked my loptop and he can

  • because he has an xps

  • overclocking is tweaking to make your computer to perform faster by making it work harder... it also results in increase of heat and power consumption...

    i personally use third-party software to overclock my computer because i also do not have it on my bios

  • isnt overclocking bad for the pc? someone please reply =\

  • If you have a crappy ass cooling system.

  • Thanks for replying

  • how du you overlock a dell pc? I havn't this step in my bios, what a bios is that?

    please give me a answer! I bough a high end cooler, and now: I cant overlock! my cpu is 22° and 38°

    thank you

    sorry for my english^^ im german!

    also, hat jemand en bios für meine Dell dimension E520 wo man übertakten kann? finde ich echt dumm von dell! ihre boards sind k*cke! allein schon weil die falschrum sind!

    bitte bitte sagt wenn ihr ein "übertakterbios" habt!

  • Lucky bastard has two! >:(

  • ooooooooooooooh........ pretty lights O_o

  • can you overclock amd turion dual core?

  • I have the same dell, (m1710) Do you know why cant i overclock my notebook? When I run the setup (F2) I dont have the option to choose OVERCLOCK in the performance folder... do you know why?? does only the new ones come with this option?? I got mine one year ago.. THANX!

  • You probably don't have the 7600G processor. You need the "G" to do this.

  • How can I get it?? do i need to buy it or can i just make an online update?? (sory for the question but i dont know much about this...)

  • The upgrade is two-fold. First, you have to buy the processor. Then you need to get the firmware update for your model. I assume that you have a m1710, so I believe that if your machine is somewhat current, you will need the A06 or later firmware to do this.

    I do not believe there is any difference on the motherboard side of things to worry about. Hope that helps you.

  • One thing, if you do get the processor, optimum setup is 2.83gHz, which I believe is the 17x multiplier. Anything faster than that and you start seeing issues with the relatively slow bus speeds and speed of the RAM.

  • I personally have the regular 7600 processor and I can run most games at full (no anti-alias) including Bioshock (on XP SP2, not Vista).  Call of Duty 4 also can be run on full, just no anti-alias. Once I turn that on, I am down to 1280x800 for widescreen, but the picture is damn awesome!

  • thanks for the info man!

  • dell kicks ass!

  • dont even bring Alienware into this discussion-doesn't matter who makes them they are a piece of SHIT just like the voodoos and such.

  • whats wrong with ATI ?!?!?!?!?

  • if possible please see my video cause i really need help on overclocking please watch the video it explains alot

  • You don't have any videos.

  • i dont let me check that out and i will let you know sorry about that

  • You need the T7600'G' processor to overclock.

  • CPU overclocking doesn't pose a big risk on computers theese days. As long as your memory can keep up and temps are under control, it wont do any damage. Most of the time a failed overclock will just need a Bios clear to fix it.

  • how do i overclock my M1710? i dont have that option in the BIOS ion performance mode and i have Revision A07 (latest one). Any help would be appreciated .

  • I am in the same situation.. did you get it fix?? what did you do??

  • na Khrisf, i think we got ripped off cause i bought my XPS M1710 about 3 months after it came out , u need to have a 2.33Ghz chip to have that option in the BIOS (i think)

  • Oh and btw, do any know if its safe to overclock the CPU? I mean theres always a risk that it will burn off but how big is the risk?

  • TehRealMrPwnage.

    You couldnt be more wrong..

    there are allready some dx10 laptops on the market

    and with hybrid sli coming up, i think youll be suprised how much a laptop can do.

    And yeah they might be heavy, but ill bet if you took your desktop and lifted it up and compared to this dell i think youll find the dell a bit more light :)

  • i tryed this laptop i hate it so much its to big its rele not true moble gaming its so big u mine aswell get a desk top true moble gaming i would get a alienware m5550

  • I've got a 2.6 running on a laptop i bought from Aldi.

  • i owner dell inspiron 6400 , Procesador 1.86ghz @ 1.87ghz 4gb ram ddr2

  • so its not dx10 awsome :(

  • theres no such thing as a dx10 laptop

  • umm there are laptops everywhere with nvida 8500 cards and 8600 what are u on about ?

  • You noob vista is dx10 all Nvidia 8k grafic cards support dx10

  • i know that, but XPSes and Alien Wares are way different. Alien Wares are pretty much GAME ONLY computers. XPSes are not as powerful, but cheaper and more all around computers, but better in games. the Alien Ware Aurora mALX laptop is better than ANY XPS laptop that ever came out. in fact, the Aurora mALX could be THE BEST gaming laptop in the world currently out. the Aurora mALX PWNS the m1710 anyday in performance, and graphics.

  • And a Pentium 200 "pwns" a 80486-DX2, what's your point? There's quite a bit of time between the two systems.

  • Nope studys show that M1710 is better And alien ware is dells other company.

  • + M1710 is more expensive about 300 more

  • a voodoo envy beats the sh17 out of both alienware and XPSes

  • lol yeah well too bad the Voodoo Envy is like $5000. who is going to spend that much on a gaming computer? plus, that thing is really heavy. also if someone sees you carrying around that thing, they will steal that mad fast! and btw the Area-51 kicks the but of the xps m1710.

  • dude, i talked to a guy that has worked for dell. he ended up later working for alienware after they were bought out by dell. he said that their laptops were so over priced, and peices of junk, but they were so rich because people believed that the more money it is the better it is. Suckers. :P

  • Haha the best in the world try looking at falcon nw or voodoo pc, or eurocom. Alienware aint got shit on some of their laptops.

  • sorry guys, buy the 4000$ Alien Ware laptop PWNS all XPSes. hell they are big though....

  • Sorry buddy, Dell purchased alienware..

  • i gto that nubu

  • Well You got to have the intel core 2 duo T7600G in order to overclock.

  • why can´t I find that clocking thing on my (xps m1710) ??? it isnt in that row as it is for him...

  • any idea on how to overclock your M1710? .. im having same problem .. dunno what i should do to get that overclocking setting

  • if u gonna clock u should use better cooling system.. or it can melt... and it can be moore buggs and crashes... so im never gonna clock mine

  • core 2 extreem quad core

    8800GTX SLI

    4 Gigs OCZ Nvidia edition

    watercooled

  • FAKE !!!

  • you do know that duo graphics cards dont add more than 30% better performance

  • screw overclocking.

    intel core duo extreme 2.93ghz

    2gb ram

    nvidia geforce dual 7950 gtx sli cards

  • intel is for LOOSERS! GAY DEATH WITH INTEL SUCK MY KIRK

  • Nice laptop.....overclocking a dell=SISSY

  • I have m1710 too, but 2.00GHz and 7950GTX.

    I regret not getting 2.33GHz, cuz i can't over-cloak!!! (And most games require more CPU power than GPU power :( )

    Oh well...

    So guys, if you are buying x1710, I highly recommend you to get 2.33GHz.

  • and spend 4,000. get a inspiron 1720 with the new core 2 duo centrino

  • what dies overclocking mean?

  • Without getting techy, it means to push the processor further than factory specifications, typically through the bios program...ok, you can't explain it without getting techy. Nevermind...I tried.

  • i have actually that laptop with a 7900 gtx nvidia video card, 2.33 core duo 2, 2 gb of ram

  • dell has got the best rep. so stfu and say ty to the dude for explaining

  • what a wacky hairdue

  • Overclocking won't void my warranty right?

  • overclocking will void your warranty

  • that is to OVER-CLOCK the processor speed, maeaning that you can change the speed of the processor! for example from 2.5 GHZ to 3.0 GHZ! however, from what i know that is not very good to do to your processor, because that is like somebody running non-stop without a break! and gets tired (in this case the computer overheats). it is not the normal pace of the processor anymore! OVERCLOCKING is very good tool though! however, not recommended for amateurs, if you dont understand it completely!

  • how do u overclock and what is overclocking? sorry for asking but i rly wanna kno..its funny i could built a comp but dnt kno wat overclocking means lol so plz thnx

  • plus its a dell, you can get better laptops than that lol :)

  • are you retarded? this is the best laptop out there....do some research you fool

  • ??? i do research, the best 17 inch laptop is the Clevo D900c

    why would i want a dell which has inferior build quality, more expensive with the same specs, and lack of quality customer service?

  • Man won't you just stop attacking Dell, first off never heard of Cleo they got no reputation no history and dell is one of the few top dog pc maker to at least attempt to build a gaming computer and care for gamers, I own xps 170 and now after a year and half still running strong, this thing is as beast, and dell customer support doesn't suck either they have a special xps team dedicated for this laptop so go ahead and buy your cleo or whatever and shut up about it.

  • Very well said. I own a Alienware, not a Dell. But i still like Dell, I'm not a Dell hater.

  • dell owns alienware...

  • not really. they r just partners. go look it up.

  • dell owns alienware

  • the best laptop is the clevo 900c btw

  • never heard of such name, what do you live in India or Soim?

  • plus the clevo M570U is out right now that is was better too

  • ahhh....you're more retarded than i thought....fyi the clevo does not offer blu ray....and clevo? are you serious? dell makes wayyy better laptops than clevo, they're more expensive cause clevo sucks my balls

  • doesnt offer blu ray? so what thats just a new drive away, not an indication of the quality of the entitre machine. the clevo is better over all and cheaper

  • well if you're buying a laptop like this....your baller, so you dont have to worry about a cheap clevo for a cheap price, baller people want the blu ray....

  • its still a laptop though. my desktop would kick the shit out of it and only costs 2500 plus a monitor. laptops are for going to class. desktops are for building and overclocking
