Clean: Install vanilla Windows, then move to drivers and dell software

Factory: Use a factory image that has the drivers and Dell software preloaded

 

Hi Kallias,

It's up to you but a clean install is a lot of work - that is a known.

I think what Tijo is saying is if you still have the factory recovery partition you could go that route; when you first get the computer that image is not bloated with a bunch of garbage stuff.
But if I remember correctly when the system is ordered with the recovery DVDs the recovery image on the system drive is empty - non existent.

If you do a clean install I'd recommend the UEFI/GPT method too - of course only if you're up for it.

 

Mine wasn't that bloated, some AV tiral software, Premier color which I didn't need and all of the Dell utilities. It's not bad compared to a lot of factory installs, the number of processes wasn't too high either.

 

Did some tinkering find that OC'ing and making it stay at stable clock the m6100 is not that complicated.

Just use afterburner unofficial OC without PowerPlay support. But gotta need to test if the gpu usage go right.

Edit : Still down clocks somewhat during high load, down clock ALOT if memory are OC'd. Temp not even breaking 65 so not issue there...

Edit2: Overclock don't help benchmark at all

I am just using the "radeon" "gaming" driver.

 

Hye... I've got 2 Power Adapter which is 1 (bulky-240W-PA 9E) together with the Precision and another 1 (a bit thin-130W-PA 4E) got when buying the Docking.

Just notice when using the small 1 there's a lag in the operations... beside the Power change notification during start-up.

The lag do make me crazy of thinking something when wrong... but after change back the bulky original adapter everything smooth.. is the Power different causing these ?

 

Yes, your machine is throttling to prevent drawing too much power from the smaller supply. Maybe get a 180W instead of 130?

No wonder... I'll have a look on the 180W thou, thanks a lot :thumbsup:
