    Its kinda Read-Only on the M1530. It isn't fully compatible with it, as it cannot override the BIOS and is usable to read the current states only....

    get a cooler or try undervolting. so far that's the best way i know to reduce a few degrees for our lappies

    seems there's no dell in vietnam, right? what should we do if one day our gpu refuses to work any more?

    @cuonguq: you're right! no Dell in Vietnam, my XPS M1530 is shipped from DELL manufacture in Malaysia through a service. At the moment, It works quite well with a bit high temperature of GPU (around 60 Celsius).

    Lovely to discus with you about XPS M1530 ! ^^

    60C isn't too bad! Some people would kill for those temps!
