XPS630i drivers etc.

I run across a story of a happy user who recently acquired 630i

this is useful info of the lost my630i.com

for those who still own the original mobo, the Dell thermal app and AlienFx apps are not found under 630i driver website, but you have to go to its obscure AMD cousin model website for XPS 625 to find them under vista 64 bit.

although those drivers are claimed to be compatible w 625, they are actually 100% c/w 630i.  that is verified.  not only that, both work 100% in Windows 11.  Yes you can install Win 11 on original 630i mobo flawlessly (after bypassing cpu/tpm/sb checks)

here are direct links to Dell driver

Dell Thermal Application, v.1.0.0.11, A05 (64bit, setup64.zip)

Dell AlienFX, v.1.0.36v2, A04 | Driver Details | Dell US

For minimal case mod, adding a 92 mm rear exhaust fan behind CPU cooler is said to get rid of a hot air pocket there.  630i rear grill has native mounting holes for a 92 mm fan and rear LED board has a standard fan header too.

PS for those who were still running 32 bit OS for whatever reason, there is a separate 32bit version of Dell thermal app. setup32.zip
