• Dell XPS 9100 compatible with Nvidia GTX 980/970?

  All the world either of these new cards video 980/970 series installed in a dell xps 9100? Or whether they will work with the 9100, in particular motherboard/bios original card?

  I plan to upgrade my studio xps Dell 9100 (2010 I7 930 12 GB of ram, motherboard Dell 05DN3X Intel X 58 Intel ICH10R) with a new video card in replacement of the Radeon HD 5870. My choice of card is the new Nvidia GTX 970.

  The GTX 970 and 980 GTX are based on the new Maxwell Nvidia cards with high specifications on page and good price. While they are not suitable for the power of the XPS 9100 (two GTX cards consume less energy than the 5870), I don't know if my original xps 9100 motherboard (with a bios updated from July 2014 on the site of dell driver) is compatible with the gtx 970. BIOS office 8700 recent Dell was not compatible/created a problem of black screen, and Dell has released a updated Bios updated for the 8700 in December 2014 that apparently works fine now with the 980/970 series. I wouldn't drop the $350 on a video card that didn't work with my 9100

  I use the Dell 9100 for video editing (Sony Vegas Pro 13, Hitfilm 3, NewBlue and other programs based GL/CL) works more 3d animation with iclone (who prefer Nvidia). I could probably get another year or two out of it with a newer video card... otherwise I'll put all useful to a construction of the self.

  I'd appreciate any comments on it. Maybe Chris from Dell of this forum would know that he shares the fix for dell bios enabled the 980 work with 8700.  Thanks to Chris if he answers or if he can answer my question gtx 970 for me and other 9100 owners.

  Just this moment installed a MSI gtx 970 in my 3 1/2 years, xps 9100. Original motherboard. The only thing I've really updated over the years is the memory.

  Processor Intel Core i7-960 @3. 2 GHz (8 MB L2 Cache)
  16 GB OF RAM, DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 PC3-12800
  NVIDIA GeForce (r) GTX 970 4 GB
  Dell XPS 9100 desktop
  Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) SP1

  525 Watt POWER supply was more than enough. You must use both the point 6 and point 8 plugs not one or the other. Biggest problem was to find a second source of power. The 6 + 2 plug, but don't think that the other was there. He was and is buried in the middle of a wire harness. A sheet of plain to 6 points. Just enough.

  It works like a charm. Not at all of the start-up problems

• XPS 9100 memory upgrade

  REPOST: For some reason, only half of my message was posted.  =/

  Hello world

  I had a moment hard to find the info I need so anything goes here:

  I have this old computer dell with mobo 05DN3X.  XPS 9100 built for me around Sept 2010.

  Can what ram I use that will work with this system?  In another forum, someone recommended ripjaws: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231356&cm_re=rip_jaws-_-20-231-356-_-Product#top

  Or 24gbs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231359

  It seems faster, but it should still work right?

  Also: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145350

  That looks cooler.

  All this work would be in my system?  I was reading on low and high density memory

  and someone said that my system will take more low density.  How do you determine that?

  Any idea is appreciated and I thank you!

  Just for the follow-up of this:

  Well, not really responded to my question. =/

  I took the advice of another forum and bought the 24 GB rip jaws of gskill days before your answer.  I've also sent GSKILL, and they said it would work.  I got it in less than 24 hours and presto, they work magically.  Males only about 120 for 24gbs of 1333mzh of ram DDR2.

  A nice update to this older machine.   Motherboard x 58 therefore the type of memory I need is this older type of low density.

  Come on Dell, you guys I have to do better than that.  There should be some sort of info in our profile system (when you type in the number of service) which shows clearly who and what kind of improvements we can make.   Maybe I would just bought from you rather than spend hours looking on other forums.

• Form factor card mother Studio XPS 9100 / size?

  I'd like to see if I can move at my Studio XPS 9100 motherboard to a smaller form factor case, but I don't know the size of the Board of Directors. Looks like it came in a full tower case. Does anyone know what the smallest case, is that it will fit inside? Maybe Micro ATX?

  Studio XPS 9100 manual shows all connectors of the motherboard and their functions for wiring. The question is whether or not the jury it self is mounting holes are identical to a standard size ATX motherboard. If this is the case, then it should fit in an ATX mid tower size.

• XPS 9100 - REINSTALL/RESTORE WINDOWS 7

  I have Studio XPS 9100 (bought in January 2011). It has been in place due to the years of video editing. I'm trying to clean and reinstall Windows 7.

  I followed some instructions that I could find online, although the success...

  -Reboot, F8, repair your computer... but it's not going in the recovery process. It restarts just as usual.

  -Made a USB using Dell DataSafe Local Backup recovery, restart, F12, boot from USB... but it requires a Setup disk (which did not come with the system)

  -Same as above, but using DVD instead of USB, same result.

  -Uninstall the pre-installed Dell DataSafe Local Backup and install the latest version of "backup and restore of Dell. Error message and it won't let me even install properly. Now, I have no recovery software on my computer.

  -Check disk management, RECOVERY partition is. I tried to assign drive letter, but the drive letter will be gone, everytime I restart the computer.

  And when I think I should give up and order a Dell installation disk. It doesn't let me do online.

  I'm very frustrated right now. Please tell me how to turn this piece of junk back to its default setting. You can call me dumb or stupid, it's ok (not a geek myself), as long as you're willing to enlighten us and give me a hand on this issue. I just want to work.

  Make sure that you install the latest version of Dell backup and restoration which has a host of fixes/improvements for Dell DataSafe Local backup:

• Studio XPS 9100, Ati HD5670, flickering of small format black and white square

  I have Dell XPS 9100 Intel Core i7 CPU 8 GB 64 - bit Windows 7 OS.  ATI Radeon HD5670.  I found a new driver dated December 2014 and loaded.  The small blocks flick went then small black line sometimes appears on both monitors, but it's not the worst of it. This new drive made me all kind of pain.  When the launch IE I get message that IE has failed.  When I open file Explorer it fails also.  I got the drive to a 2010 version and the black line of thinking in the middle of the screen has disappeared but flickering blocks returned.  I did a restore to return six days ago, but IE and Explorer of files are still not.  I really screw that constituent.

  I was wondering if my Radeon video card failed and if you think that it is perhaps the issue which video card would you propose?   At least a new video card would have current reference to the Web site with the current drivers or driver.  I don't do games but want to run three monitors (two running).  This machine is about four years with two internal 1 TB DASD, one Internal 500 GB and a 1 TB external drive.

  HELP me please I'm in trouble AND I THANK YOU for your help.

  
  I forgot to mention that I ran a Scan of the file as an administrator of the DOS command prompt, I am under MS Virus and Malware full Scan.  There is no longer a couple, I can take as the safe boot mode see if problem persists.  And then perform a clean boot and finally a scan of RAM memory.  I already did a restore of the system 8 days ago.  Guess I can make one "in Place Upgrade' as the last step at least think a person would be better off buying the new video card since this problem of flicker developed a few months previously and not related to my efforts to update HD5670 ATI Radeon driver to the latest version.  It seems almost obvious to me is a graphics card problem, because a change in the Version of the driver to change the shape of video problem scrapie blocks of black and white in the corner of the scree in a detroit thin black line in the middle of the screen.  However technology can be difficult, but does not seem plausible as a problem of video card with the new driver changing the display screen problem but by introducing the serious problem of failing IE and Windows Explorer.  The full scan just finished with a browser quarantined modifier.

• Studio XPS 9100 video card update

  Hello

  I currently own a Studio XPS 9100, I am looking to update my video to a Nvidia GTX 660 card. My first choice of the map would be the GIGABYTE GV-N660OC-2GD, but I am concerned about cooling in my case, since it's a map outdoors. The card that's in there now is the Radeon HD 5770 standard with a closed around the map case. I know the case of XPS 9100 doesn't have a lot of fans and I wonder if I'd be better off getting a card with a case like the one that is there now, those who are better for internal cooling cases or are the two models of cards very well to use this system without modification?

  This card should work, but as you said would be throwing air hot back on the case and may not be the best for a stock case, unless you upgraded your fans or have a power supply that can compensate for the extra heat.  Should work well.   If you keep your machine in a well-ventilated vs in a Cabinet, you should be ok.

  If not, opt for one of these reference maps which has the shroud designed to channel air on the back of the card,

• Dell Studio XPS 9100: Case fan care? Cooler CPU upgrade options?

  I want to upgrade the case fans in my XPS 9100, but I've seen much contradictory info in the actual specifications regarding size: are these 92 mm or 120 mm?

  In addition, it is an i7 960: is there a compatible upgrade for the CPU cooler? I don't want or need to COO liquid: want to let it cool a bit. Basic time are constantly around 52 C.

  I think that on all processors in the LGA 1366 socket, the hoses are the same.  On the 9000, I used the cooler DBX - B on 4 different processors in the LGA 1366 socket.  Any socket LGA 1366 cooler should operate, regardless of the CPU.

  The DBX - B can be installed to direct the air in 1 of the 4 directions, depending on how it is mounted.  I have mine pointing upward, to the power supply.  (Note fan blows air in the direction of the fins in aluminium).  Idea is to keep the heat away from the other components of the motherboard and direct it to two fans at the rear (one being in the power supply), which are tailpipes.

• Dell Studio XPS 9100 integrated video card?

  Hi guys, I own a Studio XPS 9100 and I currently have GPU issues.

  I want to use my PC without having to rely on my graphics card. The studio XPS 9100 has an integrated video processing system? If so, how can I connect to that?

  I am aware that the Studio XPS 9100 is not an integrated video connector, and I have to use the connector available on the video card in the expansion slot to connect to my monitor.

  Hi Poorbeggarman,

  The card mother Studio XPS 9100 has a GPU integrated, but it is disabled, and there is no way to enable it. You have no other choice than to replace your video card.

• Studio XPS 9100 Radeon HD 7950 what brand will work?

  Currently in research to upgrade the 5770 in my XPS 9100 with a 7950 and after checking if an upgrade would be possible for this machine I came across several posts that say I'm able to upgrade. After looking through several brands, I had made my mind up on top of the Gigabyte brand but after having looked more into it, I noticed several posts on different sites and a review on Amazon who said they had problems with this card specific gel. If you would be grateful if anyone knows of a brand of 7950 that will work. I know that I will probably not be able to get an answer from someone who has actually upgraded a 9100 XPS with a 7950 I prefer, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated since I have found no information on other cards installed in the XPS 9100 on the Gigabyte brand does not.

  Maybe Sapphire changed this on Vapor X model.  If this is the case, I'd go just with those that are confirmed to use just two 6-pin connectors, so you have no worries as this one HERE.  However, I would also consider the MSI TF as a good choice HERE.  As in the case of Dell cooling is never the greatest, I would look too GTX 660 Ti EVGA of external evacuation models.  Depending on the game, these two trade just kicks back in performance so that you would probably never notice no difference between the two except that the Nvidia GTX 660 it can just play games today smoother than the AMD card.  But then again, 4 games free vs a free game is a big difference if you like what you get.

  I'm going to guess that there is a problem that we're trying to fix with the Vapor X model if they are exchanging with two 8 pin after the first release.  Most HD 7950 s use only two 6-pin and the 7970 s HD using one 8-pin and a 6 pin.  GTX 660 Ti uses only two 6-pin for sure.

• Studio XPS 9100 drivers

  I plan on finally replace my boot with a Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB SSD drive. I had a great experience with the Samsung 840 250 GB big on my laptop.

  I intend to do a clean install of Win 7 Pro 64 bit.

  The most disturbing aspect is always the drivers: I find the Dell Drivers page very confusing because even when I let the Dell software detects my system, it gives me many more options that I think I need, including multiple versions of the same driver.

  Is there a centralized place where I can only get the drivers I really need?

  The basic specifications are given below.

• Noise of Dell Studio XPS 9100 CPU fan failure CPU fan

  My Dell Studio XPS 9100 did a loud intermittent noise for a few months and then last week I got a CPU fan fault message while booting. I blew all the dust from the fan and I always get the CPU fan failure message. I finally got the system starts by placing a small fan blowing air into the funnel will CPU/processor fan.

  Alas, my warranty expired 2 weeks ago. I'm kicking myself contacting technical support a few months ago, when the problem started.

  I need to replace the fan. What parts need me, and where can I get them?

  Thanks much for the reply.

  Thank you. After being tossed a little I transferred to the sales and ordered a new CPU fan for a cost total which includes shipping and taxes of $42.25. Too bad it wasn't 2 weeks ago, then she would have been free.

  The seller said that I would not need thermal paste. Is this correct?

  Stop looking at a single Spec of Watts.

  Corsair TX650 is fine being the 3.3V Rail Max 150W /5v

  Corsair HX650 isn't very good because 3.3v / 5v rail Max 100W

  Corsair AX760 isn't very good because 3.3v / 5v Rail max is 125W

  3 AMPS 5VSB is Minimum.  Reference Dell card 4.0

  150W on the 3.3v / 5v Rails Minimum.

  If you use 648W on the 12v rails which leaves 2 WATTS for EVERYTHING else.

  The other reason, is recommended that the CS750M is physical dimensions.

  The CORSAIR CX is NOT recommended because the 3.3v / 5v combined in this series is 130W or LESS.

  You can always have more power on a rail, but not LESS THAN bare.
