Oh ya forgot about that, M17x with dual GPUs setup is very tempting. laugh.gif

But it makes me wonder, do AW still need M18x if they will release dual GPUs M17x? hmm.gif

rnd is out. design still same... wait marketing to decide out or not... is a same-thing like m18x not selling in Malaysia.
if they still stick on m17x single gpu and m18x dual gpu... den serious potong stim liao... m18x is too big for me. sad.gif

So far m15x worth well with 240watt ac adaptor.
Our selling price is rm320 each.

For those using old version i7 u may need this tools to stop all throttle on "heat, voltage"

all review u may refer to below 2 link.

p/s: a better cooling pad and aircon needed and higher watt ac adaptor needed for my personal advises.


Throttle Stop Performance

ThrottleStop Guide


For M15x with atil6970m ot 6990m 150watt ac adaptor is more den enug juice for it. unless u go for GTX580m biggrin.gif

Lol... That y u need better cooling lo. Lol. Lik u modify ir car into turbo without better cooling... Of cos spoiled lo. Haha

QUOTE(alvinkhorfire @ Nov 21 2011, 04:38 PM)
This information is obtained from Notebookreview forum. There is no difference between using a 150 W power adapter and a 240 W one. One visible benefit is that the 240 W adapter is not as hot as the 150 W. Maybe you can say throttling is less to occur for 240 W adapter.

During heavy gaming, M15x draws about 180 W from the 150 W power adapter, causing the adapter to heat up considerably. On the other hand, 240 W adapter can easily deliver 180 W, without the adapter overheating. Note that 240 W adapter can only deliver up to 180 W, no matter how you try it, as it is limited by M15x BIOS.

You can use either one of the adapters. For the 240 W adapter, you just have to disable "Adapter Incompatible Warning" in M15x BIOS. Hope this is helpful.smile.gif

Yup... So wat do u think if ur 150watt ac acadaptor always giving over voltage? It wil get heat and spoiled easy lo, yet still 240watt is the best solution to solved it. No to say not avantage ya.

For diasable warning in bios actually no help at all. Cos most of the dell model notebook is accept bigger watt ac adaptor. They only giving the warning wen u plug in lower watt ac adaptor lik 45watt.

If u got extra money... Can think to upgrade to 240watt acadaptor, but recommend upgrade ssd 1st.

SSD Bro. For the short term, then M18X for the long term wink.gif

Go ssd is the best.

QUOTE(otosan @ Nov 21 2011, 05:26 PM)
with RM320 can get X-25 SSD already, hahaha

btw, i check at ebay, it's arround RM180 inc shipping for the 240W adapter.. i think gonna buy it next month...
*
Bro, be careful on fake dell ac adaptor. U can get fake 240watt ac adaptor include shipping in alibaba at rm140-160

Added on November 21, 2011, 5:38 pmforgot to add on 1 more thing... if ur m15x is with i7 920xm or 940xm.. is highly recommended to get 240watt ac adaptor.
