Studio XPS 1340 Overheating
Until Dell ships the newer vent cover, I removed the current vent cover to allow more hot air to be expelled from the system chassis. I also loaded the latest A07 Bios and A06 video card driver. Understand, this is just a workaround until Dell can release the new plastic vent cover.
* Power the system off
* Turn it over with the hinges away from you
* Remove the 10 phillips screws holding the Base Cover
<ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell>
* Remove the Base Cover
* On the top right you will see a plastic vent cover with 16 vent holes
* Remove the two phillips screws and lift the plastic vent cover off
* Replace the Base Cover
Using this workaround, I can run the system with Hybrid SLI on with no overheating.
