Throttling? Are you sure its caused by the temperature. Or is it your bios? Any bios before A08 will cause throttling issue to both gpu and cpu. My m15x came with A06 and I flashed bios to A09.

ok

d alienware right, wat is the material used for the keyboard n touchpad area? is it matte?

When M17x-R3 was first released with AMD HD 6850M or GTX 460M, it was touted by Dell Alienware as the "worthy" successor of M17x-R2 with dual GPU. While in the background, they are secretly developing M18x.

I really have no idea why Dell continues to deceive us with this absurd statement. I remembered that at the event when they introduced M17x-R3, they kept on insisting that GTX 460M can match dual HD 5870M crossfire. We here did not believe that, but sadly the less-informed customers will. It is one thing that they were marketing it to make profit, but it is definitely a lie that M17x-R3 is the worthy heir of M17x-R2.

Dell, please don't deceive us this way. We are not that dumb. Any more lie without any decent truth will continue to degrade your reputation further.

In my room obviously it's impossible la~ But if you bring it to a hotel room in Genting or a hill resort you can try and see... I got around 40-ish last time I brought my lappie to Genting~

A04~

Lol a04.. you really need to update it man.. at least get it up to A08 if not alot of problems..

http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-...ion-thread.html <-- Ao9 support thread

Not gonna risk it man~ I nearly screw up the process last time from A01 to A02 almost a year ago~

A05 Bios for M11x R1...anyone got a problem to update it? is it really worth it to update to that Bios version? i'm still use A01 Bios..

Is it maximum 83 celcius normal for a m11x during heavy and intensive game?

i updated BIOS A09 with some help and reference from NBR forum... tada within an hour can d... haha

that pretty hot bro for ur m11x R2...
my m11x R1 never yet reach that temperature even during heavy & intensive game.
i think the highest one i got is 63 celcius

Wow , i see damn many new faces that arise during my absence o.O

hello!

this is how they do bussiness, even intel also the same, any of the company that doing bussiness is the same....

yes it's a term in publishing, or specifically in photoshopping

read the blue box --> blablablabla.psd "needs retouch"

the brochure is still in development stage, someone higher up don't like the concept and thus "retouching" the design means re-work on the design i.e. font, picture placement etc

whilst i do understand that you think "refresh" and "retouch" words are related due to the content, but unfortunately no it has nothing to do with the latest versions that are coming out soon. Refresh and retouch has totally different meaning in the sense that refresh=new version, retouch=work on the design summore la make it prettier~

someone asks the graphics department to refer to a couple of people about the design: anna v and ross, i reckon those are the people that the graphics department should refer to

thus im not wrong when i say it has nothing to do with the refresh code, it only has superficial meaning btw

oh i see. this is something few for me.

thanks for correcting my fact bro!

i dont know about throttling, but everytime i start heavy game and fps getting down,
i went to desktop and enable AW stealth mode then disable again stealth mode.. fps gets back to normal again..
btw, i OC my gc to 745/1490/1625 (c/s/m) (using afterburner) - it gets around +-83*c, is that risky??
