I tried copying it to my Kingston DataTraveler G2 16GB but the application refused to copy to my usb drive... tried another attempt on my 2GB one also refused to copy~ so guess I have to try the CD burning again.. but I'm out of CD-Rs~  vmad.gif  cry.gif


Added on September 5, 2010, 11:47 pmor I guess I'll just skip another one till they release an ISO file which doesn't waste my CDs~ tongue.gif

You don't copy the downloaded bios file into your usb thumbdrive - -
You download the bios exe and run it, it will prompt you, you will have to format the usb drive.

even if GTX480M already reached Alienware, i highly doubt you will able to fix that into your M15x. preparing for upgrade perhaps, bro Julchin? brows.gif
since we already reached Q4 of 2010, 'IF' games will be popular again, i guess tongue.gif
nope, i did never tried it before. is it safe? logically, it the power supplied by M17x will somehow overload the limit that was set for M15x mobo. i am afraid that will fried M15x mobo or somethin.... sweat.gif

Nope. Never had hope of it coming into M15x and prolly won't be doing any more mods after the 5870 mod. Have been thinking of getting the next generation M17x. Will wait...hope I don't invest more into my camera or I gonna pokai!

QUOTE(Mr.Docter @ Sep 5 2010, 07:23 PM)
like what had been well explained by Julchin, there are few reasons why M15x will not be equipped with SLi / CF technology.

1 - so far there is none 15" that successfully SLi / CF configured due to its size. (note that size will affect the heat management)

2 - SLi / CF is exclusively dedicated to M17x to preserve the special factor of M17x.

3 - for Julchin, GTX280M cannot be pair with M15x because M15x using i-Series CPU (& mobo) and it not compatible with GTX280M.

4 - eventho GTX285M is basically overclocked version of GTX280M, there is some modification in their architecture's aspect so that GTX280M (basically) can be pair with i-Series CPU (& mobo)

it will shows a warning that power adaptor is not compatible. My friend GTX480M full load reached 89'C, wondering inside M15x will be how  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif

I think M15x cannot pakai lar that monster of a GPU...

QUOTE(awyongcarl @ Sep 5 2010, 10:15 PM)
Any m17x user mind lending their adapter to m15x user and see whats the result? lololol

I think just ask Bro Putochip to test. He's got all the models anyway.... icon_rolleyes.gif

Your temps are within range. Don't worry smile.gif I've got higher.

Around 80 celcius is fine but if a cooler can reduce it to 70s then great.

The max my GTX 260M went was 90celcius playing in non air con room but just a cooler.....

well, i dont really prefer Nvidia, since it power drain and power battery life, but in the opposite is, its tesselation(DX11) power is the most powerfull GPU currently.
PhysX is useless, since we cant really see the thing, if u can see the thing which mean the game is too boring which lead u to see the graphic not enjoying the game

Thats only for the M11x, which has switchable graphics. Optimus is to reduce the amount of power that the GPU drains, but still using the GT335M instead of intel GMA, useful when using battery.

Well the GTX 460M is still ranked below the ATI 5870 in the notebookcheck webbie's table of first class GPUs for notebooks. Its new, but not a GTX 480M yet.... brows.gif

I like the way you describe your preferences. Which is true to some extent. I on the other hand don't mind having to ramp up the graphics to appreciate the details if my GPU permits.... icon_rolleyes.gif

Dell promised to replaced the whole LCD for me tomrorow or wed.
And they insisted that it's a deadpixel and told me normally only more than 6 deadpixels only can claim for replacement but because my system are quite new so they can replace it.

BRO Changing your LCD is a quick process. Wanna see messy? Click my siggy and go to AW Thread 4 and you will see how they open up my lappy one by one and change the motherboard. That one damn pain feeling for me......

As for deadpixels, they have their industrial standards code to follow. But new units normally get a new LCD. Just check if the LCD they give u is refurbished one? Cos they wanted to give my a refurbished GPU last time but when it was put into my unit it didn't work. Remember to Test out new LCD Extensively!!!

I agree. Not all the stats are to be certain. I use it as a guide only, but fps wise I have got diff as well. I only wished they ran more tests and fill up the fields left empty there.... But its a guide for me nonetheles....
