even some high frequency, but the score might lower than some card with lower frequency

1. OC within tested clocks ( go check out benches on NBR)
2. Some GC can do better, some can't even reach.
3. Do some benches/play some heavy graphics game, watch out for your temp at the same time Hwinfo32* (Temp's safe within 80-85c, some would risk going up to 90c)
4. If burn call dell, they will replace.

I don't know whether malaysia's dell still offers the GTX460m.
But if you have a couple of bucks to spend, don't ever get GTX260m.
Very very bad experience with it.

As Greasemonkey said, watch for the throttling in nvidia cards especially 260m. Make sure you comp's bios is at A08 or equal. If still throttle could be temperature or oc tools.

I use nvidial inspector for my GTX460m on M15x. << Very reliable xD

Thanks for nvidia inspector.
btw, how far stable can 460m when go OC'ed and around 85c?
do Dell replace gc when it got burned through OC? thats nice

Q: What could happen if gc voltage is lowered then the stock? increase voltage is heat issue and more power rite?

Err... is it me or is there very little demand for the M11x R3 and M14x here??
Most are more interested in the M18x?

Just to let you guys know that even though customizations of the M11x and M14x are available, there's still no customizable metal name plates... I think Dell forgot or something.... so perhaps its best not to jump in 1st?

^straight go full power

As long the games doesn't crash/artifact and reasonable temp, its stable ?

Hmm I need notebook cooler + aircond room to stabilize at 900/1700/1500 Core/Shader/Memory.

But if you run at normal temp + default thermal paste & no notebook cooler:
1.800/1600/1500
2.750/1500/1500

Some people can hit #1 without being downclocked automatically, but if you can't you can at least hit #2.

My friend got his 5850 overheat lastime(without oc), then dell replaced it twice. Until he fed up he go OC burnt another 1, so dell came and replace again.

Never seen him for months already, but I know he got his mobo/gpu/heatsink/palm rest/back plate (rubber access panel) all replaced.

Dell's such a big company, they wouldnt mind replacing your parts with not much questions asked. Of course don't call them and ''Hello, I think I fcked up my GC while oc-ing, do you provide replacement for it?''

Learn to talk smart

It is always like that...
A month or 2 later only get personalized plate

What the?!
Then I ma cannot buy yet? really wanted the plate, and not planning to errr...... use the paper-styled name plate haha

hahaha that'll do for now..

Use Acrylic, carve your name, use led to light up the name plate

i don't know about others but i only sad about not getting personalized plate for 1st week of purchase only.

after that too happy with my Alienware gaming performance till forgot about personalized plate

Hm... US M14x - i7 2720qm and Nvidia gt555m but display is limited to 1600x900 res?

Hey this is actually quite a good idea... but where to get Acrylic? And how to carve?
LED may be a problem haha

^there's 13.1'' with 1080p...

Vaio? Won't feel painful ar?
Even in the CNET M14x review video they did mention that 1600x900 is actually quite good already

this may solve your problem (custom method FTW!)

plate below your laptop is removable. remove it by unscrew 4 screws. just remove it and go to this dude place. tell him you want engravement of specific shape. before that study a bit about Alienware font

link @ http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f=11&t=1553435

yes!! shit damn expensive for m14x when already configure it for a better spec.

how much your final price?

1600x900 on 14" is the best resolutiond, some how GT555 play on Full HD would be vry stress for the gC

RM6,090..
