I got an Inspiron notebook this summer and it was loaded with crap.
Use this great utility to uninstall most of it. It works great. :D

I can give you a workaround solution that was acceptable to me.
VM replaced my freezer 7 as well. The fan does speed up but only when it reaches an unacceptably high temp over 60 degrees C. I updated the MB bios as well.
My solution; simply plug the fan into one of the three pin connectors...
I am very happy with my Campus edition as well.
The only issue I had was with shipping, where I received the PC with the SIMM and Artic 7 cooling fan knocked loose.
Apparently the fan speed sensor may have been damaged, because my system is running a bit hot and fan was running at only...
While I'm waiting for the replacement cooler, I thought I'd plug the fan into a 12 volt 3/wire port as was suggested.
Result: around 37C idle and 55/56C using the Intel TAT loading both CPU's 100%. RPM's showed a constant 1860. So the fubar fan diagnosis is correct. :D
Why do I even need...
Hmm. The theory makes the most sense. The system experienced some rough handling in shipping, and the snap-on fan had been knocked off the heatsink. Perhaps it was damaged, although I didn't notice anything.
Even at full load, the fan never got higher than 1600rpm. I noticed it didn't even...
I have a nice new Velocity Micro Campus Edition with an E6300 using an Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro w Artic Silver(5) Thermal compound.
When I use Core Temp or TAT the temperatures pretty much agree. During idle, CPU temp is 56-58C, and processor fan speed around 460RPM. If I run the load test...
Ok. No response to my previous post about this comment.
I see NO overclocking options in the BIOS or jumper settings for the DP965LT board used in the Campus Edition. How is the FSB speed modified? :eek:
Hmm, I too am a happy owner of nice, new, blue Campus Edition. Very happy with it so far. I notice the Campus Edition is no longer offered on the Velocity Micro site.
I did not think the Intel DP965LT board was overclockable. I did not see a manual FSB adjustment for overclocking, but simply...
