DELL Latitude E6500 Motherboard CY040 NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M

Genuine Dell Latitude E6500 Motherboard

This is a genuine Dell replacement motherboard for the Latitude E6500 laptop. It integrates an NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M graphics chip and uses a PGA478MN socket for the processor. The board supports DDR2 memory modules and provides SATA connectivity for storage drives. It is intended for technicians repairing or maintaining this specific Latitude model.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The integrated NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M graphics processor handles professional 2D applications and basic 3D workloads continuously. System memory bandwidth depends on the installed DDR2 modules running at their rated speeds. The SATA interface maintains consistent data transfer rates for hard drives or solid-state drives during extended read and write operations. Thermal management relies on the laptop's original cooling assembly attached to the board.

Thermals, Noise and Power

The motherboard draws power through the laptop's standard DC jack and internal regulation circuits. Heat from the CPU socket and graphics chip is transferred to the Latitude E6500 heatsink and fan assembly. Acoustic output is determined entirely by the system fan speed profile controlled by the BIOS. Power consumption scales with the installed processor and workload intensity.
