I never could actually find anyone selling them? any ideas?? I'll post a pic of the hardware in just a second, when i shut this off and pull the bottom off. Let me know what you see. As far as the fan I do believe its working correctly, no way to determine if it's not?? I will pull the heat sink out and clean it out, but pretty sure I did that recently and it's not clogged with any kind of dust (well not enough to stop the fans from doing their jobs). Any other ideas please let me know. -diffuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I remembered reading something about the 100w one having 3 heat dissipation pipes. I cleaned everything out with bottled air (which I've done recently as well) pretty sure they weren't clogged. I'll probably pull everything tomorrow do a complete re-install new paste etc. check everything again and see how it works, but at this point I'm not convinced its' going to run any cooler. How can I check to make sure the gpu fan is operationally sound, I've watched it kick on and start running, id say it was somewhere around 60c when I kicked on, but id need to test that again, I only looked at it once while I had the bottom plates off and was loading into a few games to see while monitoring with gpu-z.... lemme know what you think. -diffuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J95 Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 Yep, triple pipe heat sink for 560M/660M 75W #J9H7X http://dell-spare-parts.info/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/227538/osCsid/49d66e0a8c7a7062a9ce692ad599a99a Rearrange thermal pads, look for gaps (against light) then use a thin sheet of paper to check contact...finally apply the thermal paste.

Since you told us to delete some folder mention it above, it's this process optional ? I don't need GFE, but I need it to activate my Shadowplay feature. if it's optional, which folder should I keep if I still want to use it ?

yohojones Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I still don't have download rights so I tried to edit the driver myself. Im on an Alienware m18x r2. I'm on stock bios A12. I'm on windows 10 home on uefi with secure boot turned off. CPU Z sees the card fine and the fan is running. Following the guide at http://null-bin.blogspot.ca/2015/08/how-to-modify-nvidia-notebook-driver.html I edited the nvdmi.inf for dell/alienware My hardware id is: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&SUBSYS_05501028&REV_A1 So i put %NVIDIA_DEV.13D7.0550.1028% = Section227, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&SUBSYS_05501028 in the right place and added NVIDIA_DEV.13D7.0550.1028 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M" to the [strings] section I turned off driver signing. Deleted all the folders except the ones listed in this post. Ran setup as admin. The red unsigned driver windows popped up and I said install anyway. Then almost immediately the install fails. It says HD Audio not installed and driver install failed. Can someone please help me please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee James Wood Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) install all your windows updates and hardware before installing the graphics driver on a fresh install. go to custom installation : and just install the driver, and the physx forget about the HD sound driver for the HMDI unless you use external 7.1 through the HDMI or something. (Isn't that what it does?) Edited June 8, 2016 by Lee James Wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I''ve deleted everything from the install package but the folders specified. The option don't show physx. Just hd audio and driver. The hd audio driver never gets a chance to try to install. The display driver fails and the install process stops. If I only check display driver it does the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yohojones Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 BREAKTHROUGH! I had the wrong Section number. When I put in %NVIDIA_DEV.13D7.0550.1028% = Section227, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&SUBSYS_05501028 I used the section from a different card not the 13d7. The section should be 115 116 0r 117. I just entered all three. %NVIDIA_DEV.13D7.0550.1028% = Section115, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&SUBSYS_05501028 %NVIDIA_DEV.13D7.0550.1028% = Section116, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&SUBSYS_05501028 %NVIDIA_DEV.13D7.0550.1028% = Section117, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&SUBSYS_05501028 and the driver installed. Now to see how well it does on some Division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
