    Hello all..this is my first post and I'm guessing dell has had many returned machines.

    A lot of people seem to have problems with outlet machines that have been so called reworked.

    My refurbished m6600 tuned up on the 5/3/2012 with two fans that ran at 100% speed all of the time and it took 7-8 mins to load windows.

    Next day I had a new motherboard 3000m video card and a new fan fitted. I ran my game Crysis 2 for 5 mins and it worked great. When I tried later that day you cant even play it on the lowest setting. As soon as the machine is given any hard work both fans come on and hunt.. it sounds like a train.. I'm guessing that they all don't make thie noise. I have got dell to exchange it with a machine costing more with less ram... Don't know how that works as all specs are the same. I know have to wait 20 days for the new machine I picked from the outlet. I.don't understand this bit. If its been refurbished and on.the outlet for sell why does.my order say in production and its going to take 2 weeks longer than the.first one they.sent me..

    I would really just like to know if the fans hunt and that graphics card is that crap at games like crysis2 on low settings. This is my real question.. I.would also love to hear all the faults people have had just from the outlets..


    Thanks all...

    Sorry for spellings.. its been posted via my Android phone that likes to change what I type.
    Would have used my new dell M6600 but the fans drive me crazy..

    For starters, download CPUID HWmonitor (free version) and check your idle and load temps.
