From what I've heard, GTX580M will also work in the M17x R2, but so far SLi is still not working.

So far I just added a secondary fan to my M17x, waiting for a card to be added when money is in the bank.

3GB GT555M on m14x is waste of money. Someone slapped this info into my face yesterday. is this true?

already apply ic diamond and 3m thermal pad to cover most of 6970m card.
when idle not much different with as5.minus 1c only. but when in full load it really good.
i use 800/1000mhz setting with default voltage which is 1.1v.
max temp after hours of dirt 3 was 81c. previously with as5 it was 90c plus.

anyway duabijitelur, what happen to ur m15x.?

duno... maybe i oc laptop on last session i use my laptop...lol

but ur laptop can run now.? overheat?

now can d.... after taking out baterry ... then put it back ...
after a while only startup... then ok already
hmm i wonder what is happening..maybe last session overclock's stuff..

with aircon room?

yes kelvin.both as5 and ic diamond tested in aircond room:) around 24-25c

I'm getting a second laptop soon. Probably Sager brand. planning on pitting it side by side with my M14x. The loser will be donated to my younger sis.

Wow buying a new laptop already?
M14x does not satisfy you enough my friend?

Btw managed to overclock my i7 740QM a bit to 1.9Ghz base clock using setFSB, it's a shame i7 740QM has lock multipliers, guess I need to find at least i7 920XM.

Hm... I must try testing mine again. So far tested in room temp about 27c with notebook cooler.

Going to open my GPU to see if the pads are sitting properly or not and then try again...

Just contacting Miss Pxxxri from Dell to claim my warranty

Anyhow, if I own M15x, I am quite sure I will fork any of my money to upgrade to GTX580M *poison*

haha... wen u wan to buy from me??


Loading time for dirt3 between i7 2920 and i7 2720 make a big huge diff. same configuration jus diff proc.

Waiting for the good folks at NBR for that mod to be perfected

Claiming warranty for what Doc?Anything happen to your beloved M17x?

Do you think I should try the heatsink mod with the thin copper sheets? Should work ok right? Put in-between the proc and the heatsink?
