• HP Envy Phoenix h9-1333: upgrade CPU Cooler

  Hi all
  So today, I have a problem that drives me crazy. I have a HP Envy Phoenix h9-1333 with a Core i5 3570 processor, 10GB of RAM DDR3, 2 TB Seagate Barracuda (drive C), 16 GB SanDisk SSD caching, and an Asus GeForce GTX 650Ti upgrade. So I went the process of upgrading my CPU cooler to a cooler much more efficient, quieter, then I jumped on the air cooled by the train running and bought a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo. The day before, I moved the components of my Phoenix in a NZXT Phantom 410 Mid Tower case. However when I went to install the stand-offs for the cooler I found that the stand offs were too big for the holes in the motherboard. After you create a scene in front of my dogs full of swearing, I put the old ice on and now makes me here. Yes, the Evo of 212 Hyper will fit in the case, I went up to now this question. My problem is that the stand offs do not fit into the holes and another problem that arises is that there is a back plate which is hard at least to my knowledge but I thought I could work but actually I could not. Is that what I can do so that I can't take back the new cooler?

  Hello

  You must have been struck by lightning the issue with your other post.

  HP generally uses screws to the holes in the motherboard to ensure a fit for the heatsink of HP.  Cooler Master may have some suggestions.

  Saw a post here if someone claims that the back plate can be removed. It still leaves you an adjustment problem. I suggest make you a model of the sink top of page area of editing and send to Cooler Master and ask for advice.  The Cooler Master 212 EVO is an industry best rated air cooler.

• XPS 8700 upgrade to win 8.1

  Has anyone successfully upgrade a 8700 XPS victory 8 to 8.1?  If so how did you do?  Nothing seems to work for me and I get no help from Dell support.

  It tried in the past.  Nothing works.  Apparently, Dell has installed a faulty copy of Windows 8 on my computer.  Three technicians tried to help and were unable to update my system for Windows 8.1.

• XPS 8900 CPU cooler upgrade: a much quieter and cooler operation

  I recently upgraded my GPU and noticed that my CPU fan was making more noise than I remembered - sort of a monotonous noise.  I checked my time CPU and discovered that, at idle, the CPU was struck 38 - 42 c.

  I decided to upgrade my cooling.  The main limitation (also the fact that Dell has a non-standard configuration of CPU backplate) is that the somewhat narrow case on the 8900 XPS does not allow the installation of most of the coolers high performance cheap because they are too high by 1/2 "- 3/4".  Then I found the H7 Cyrorig, who owns three heat pipes, a huge radiator and 120mm fan in a package that is 'only' 145mm of height - just enough to fit in the short case.  I installed it yesterday and it works GREAT.  Very happy with it, at the beginning at least.

  I also traded fan Sunon stock for a Cooler Master Blade Master 92 mm fan, which is quieter but similar specifications CFM.

  Overall, the computer is now more quiet at 100% load, it was before idling.  And my time CPU dropped 15 ° C.  Great upgrade.  I made a video on how I did here:

  You can always connect the suction fan using a molex 3 adapter PIN or similar. Do not use a PIN Y-splitter 3 with the stock exhaust fan unless you do not want the suction fan not to come to 100%. What I've done is moved the stock exhaust and done as a plug so that it is always connected to the motherboard fan PIN then placed a fan cfm 88 is monitored by a fan controller and powered by a molex 3 pin coming from the PSU adapter. I have also an another suction fan works 100%, which is also directly powered by the PSU. In this way, the jury is fooled to believe that he always have control over the exhaust, what she does not like the stock exhaust is now a fan of aspiration and since I placed a fan cfm upper aft setting of the new fan is more than the maximum power of the stock fan more I have the ability to crank it up to 88 ft3/min if I want it when room temperature of the room is on the hot side depending on the weather.

• CPU COOLER DELL XPS 8700

  What are the coolers possible cpu that you can install on the card mother dell xps 8700 motherboard without any editing fancy ghetto. As if it were a normal MOM?

  The XPS 8500, the forerunner of the XPS 8700, has standard spacing Socket 1155. Taken 1150 share spacing of the 1155, and so according to me that a spare cooler should run.

  Cooler Master Vortex was perfect on my XPS 8500 motherboard, and I assume that the same would hold true for a XPS 8700. You will use the type of optical drive screws to fix the cooler for the Board of directors rather than fragile plastic bugs.

  Looking at a motherboard XPS 8700 on eBay, I can see a standard header for the fan on the CPU at four pins, as well as the XPS 8500.

• H8-1214: upgrade of the H8-1214 cpu cooler

  I'm trying to upgrade the processor 6100 fx to fx-8150, but I'm having a devil of a time finding a CPU cooler that fits the card mother angelica. what most people don't understand, is that the card mother angelica uses am3 + socket mount Intel cpu cooler. Anyone know or recommend a CPU cooler that will handle 125W cpu, go in the small space, not cause problems with editing? I already have that tower coolers match or working, because of the large part using PINs instead of screws, mount the cpu because is screw in and most of the towers are high.

  I used the same CPU cooler on the fx-8150 and he ran very well because it was not overclocked.

• Upgrade GPU for XPS 8700

  As the title says, I have a question about the Dell XPS 8700. I wanted to update the graphics card and after browsing through the forum, I think I already know the answer, but would have an EVGA GeForce GTX 960 to adapt and be compatible.

  The dimensions of the GPU are 4.38 inches x 10.1 inches x 2 inches with a request for a power of 400 W.

  There is an entire thread dedicated to the XPS 8700 / nVidia GTX upgrade.

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3515/t/19611037

  you don't need to upgrade the power supply for a GTX 960, and most will fit.

  Regarding the power supply, I went with Seasonic X - 650 s and they are a little longer than the original but adapt easily.

• Problems with the new XPS 8700 and upgrades...

  Hello

  I need help!

  I just bought an XPS 8700 a week ago (maybe more).

  It came with: pre installed with Windows 7 Pro, installation / upgrade disc for Windows 8 Pro

  (Pentium 4790 16 GB RAM 4 GB Nvidia GTS 745 VC)

  A few days after I ordered an ssd of m Cruscial 480 GB for her, with a WD 1 TB HARD drive.

  My problem is centered around the M SSD.

  The Crucial SSD of M IS compatible with this system?

  I try to set it up and the system hangs.

  I can't use ready boost, or it will be BSOD.

  I want to load the OS on the SSD m and use the other 2 HDD as data drives.

  My other question is: System running Windows 7, but comes with a Win 8 restore disc?

  Its rights to licensed Windows Pro 8.1 with downgrade to Windows 7 Professional. You will need make the recovery using Dell backup media and restore your original disc. Theres no need to change the BIOS settings earlier.

  After that, remove your hard drive and insert your mSATA SSD. Use the Dell backup and recovery USB to reinstall Windows on the mSATA SSD. Once you are satisfied with the installation of Windows on the drive mSATA remove it and insert the HARD drive, use DISKPART OWN while using your DVD of Windows 8.1. Then insert the mSATA SSD, Windows 7 starter and initialize the HARD disk, implemented as a data reader.

• XPS 8700 SSD upgrade

  Hello!

  Just bought a XPS 8700 and would like to Exchange hard-shore out and put in Samsung 840 Pro SSD in. Could use some indications, there isn't an msata on this forum, so it shouldn't be a problem.

  Something special, I do in the bios that select the new drive?

  the OS will install on another drive? If so, just do a backup and re - install the new drive? or do I need to get a new copy of the retail of windows 8 to do this?

  Opening it will not void the warranty that I can upgrade the disk and memory, but if I have problems I send to dell in the State of origin in that I bought right?

  Hi chrisyackulic,

  mSATA reader uses the SSD technology to make the system faster. If you replace the mechanical hard drive normal with hard drive SSD technology TSRI functionality could be cancelled.

  However, to use the SSD on the system please change the SATA mode in BIOS to AHCI TSRI. You will need a reinstall the operating system to install on the system drive. The backup image will not work because the SATA operation mode is different with a previous hard disk.

  You can use the link below to place a request to reinstall the operating system drive.

  http://Dell.to/TmYffg

  If you are not able to make a request to the disk from the link above, then please send me a private message with serial number of the computer, name registered in the purchasing system and email address so that I can check out what we can do. To send a private message, click on my name, and choose Start conversation.

  Replacing the hard drive or memory on the system will not void the warranty.

• XPS 8700 does not start after the upgrade memory RAM

  Dear members of the Forum.

  I have a XPS 8700 with the following specifications:

  Core i7 4770 k

  2 TB HARD DRIVE

  16 GB of Ram (4 x 4 GB)

  NVidia GTX 660 (1.5 GB)

  BIOS version A10 (later).

  RAM sticks in my current system are all Micron Tech (here) 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM PC3 12800 240pin 1.5V 1600 MT/s.

  I had two RAM modules of tech Micron (here) 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM PC3 12800 240pin 1.5V 1600 MT/s so that I can move on to a total of 24 GB.

  After the discussion here and here, I installed the modules in slots 1 & 2 (both white) so that the system is not able to start. Not even got the bios screen. I also tried 3 & 4 configuration (both black) I ran my computer with the two 8 GB sticks only, with the same unfortunate results.

  I also saw that it is a normal problem of compatibility problems between the types of ram, but I consider that this is not the case. In addition, bad positioning of the modules is not also the case because if I put my old ram glue the computer starts normally.

  I used tape you will static isolation.

  Is the problem, a problem of compatibility between my computer and the RAM modules?

  If the RAM is damaged does these effects (do not start)?

  How can I check if the RAM modules are damaged?

  What would be your suggestions?

  I thank very you much in advance!

  Mauricio

  Hmm, I'd say you two bad sticks of RAM.  If the system POST even with them, I would swap them if you can.  We know that the RAM slots work because you have 4 x 4 sticks without any problem and your computer can take up to 32 GB of RAM.  Your admission that you bought the right kind of RAM, voltage, and speed, etc., so that shouldn't be a problem.  I would say as bad RAM.  When you do not install, just check that you make pairs in each of the colored slots, for example. matching pairs in the slot of white and black.

• XPS 8700 GPU upgrade

  My PC is the 8700 XPS, described in my GIS unit. Non-SE.

  Double boots both Windows 7 Pro and 8, secure boot disabled.

  Current GPU is the AMD Radeon 7570 (OEM) that comes with it. I see this same pattern can also run the NVIDIA Geforce GTX 645 (OEM). It's basically a quick replacement? Obviously, the PSU is OK, as the POWER 460 block is the same in all models.

  Will be one of the 6 pins that is not in use, it will take if yes, is it important that we? I noticed that they are numbered differently, probably just to label a connection. I found them hidden behind the other sons.

  Finally, if everything is compatible, should I use the current Dell supplied drivers for the stability of the system (all the installed drivers are provided Dell), or I let NVIDIA auto detect & install?

  This has been a great PC for me, the XPS 8700 packs a lot of power in a mid-size Tower. Just, I want better video & don't want to deal with swaps of power supply, which could void my warranty.

  Thank you very much for any help given.

  Unfortunately, you will need to move to a GTX 660 to get a display port.  I'd go with the HD 7770 HERE that is actually better than the GTX 650 for about the same cost.

• XPS 8700 RAM upgrade - do not use full capacity

  I decided to get max out my RAM on my XPS 8700 to 32 GB. After booting, I am only using one half of the total. I checked the system settings to see if there is something that needs to be defined, but I don't see anything that will help.

  Is there a material DIM switch or something of RAM is correctly adjusted? I looked in the user guide but cannot see how to swap the RAM modules.

  If you have windows 7 home, your authorized max is memory 16 GB.  If you have Pro, you can go up to 192 GB.  Windows 8 and higher increased the memory limit.

  If it does not, you may have some bad RAM.
