Guys, i need your advice.. icon_question.gif
Today after playing GRID and Crysis 2, my gtx 260m reach its peak temp 102'c..
Once i reached this max temp, i felt sudden lag on my screen, around 1-2 seconds..i think it throttle down to prevent from being toasty..
i just bought m15x, July last year..

Any1 alienware owner can provide me a cleaning and reapply thermal paste service??  icon_question.gif

Err.... is the problem universal or only your unit? Replugging the mouse after waking up the notebook is still okay. But suddenly stop working can be a problem lol  laugh.gif

LOL, I can only afford cheap mousepads  laugh.gif

@GreaseMonkey90  are the fans noisy on heavy gaming? the temp score is unnbelievable.. I think they might have secret air-cond technology built in.

Unbelievable~ icon_rolleyes.gif

Anyway, I think with a quick change of the thermal paste the temp could be lower~ laugh.gif

Nah. Took me 2 hours to think. So I decided to uninstall everything. Initially it's nice. But after 15 minutes going to everything, kind of bored. So uninstall everything and put doremon wallpaper (Even nicer  laugh.gif ).

To me, if I want everything to be back to default, I format everything lor (Default setting) restart and F2 is it?

If I don't register online, will it effect anything? By right Dell should have all my details + warranty countdown right?

Has any M15x owner here attempted to charge their video card to HD 6970M? julchin_09, perhaps? hmm.gif

Yes, I realize that there is a dedicated thread in NotebookReview, but it may not be entirely applicable to us Malaysians. One problem may be that is it possible to obtain the card from Dell Malaysia? Most probably not, I guess.

Any additional information on this matter is very much appreciated.  thumbup.gif

Alienware adds jitter-killing Killer Wireless-N technology to M18x, M17x, M14x and M11x

user posted image

And this, friends, is how you make the leap into the mainstream. Bigfoot Networks has been toiling away in an effort to get its gaming-optimized networking guts into just about everything -- there's also a VisionTek GPU with Killer innards, and a trifecta of mainboard makers announced that they too would be joining the bustling integration party earlier in the year. Now, however, the outfit's really got something to hang its hat on: a handshake with Dell's Alienware unit. The Killer Wireless-N 1103 networking adapter will now be listed as an option for the Alienware M18x, M17x, M14x and M11x, promising data rates as high as 450Mbps as well as its Advanced Stream Detect to intelligently classify and prioritize network traffic. Mum's the word on how much the upgrade will be, but based on prior reviews, we'd say the premium will be well worth it for the hardcore among us.

Sos cili api~

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here, are you saying we should ignore official spec sheets, benchmarks, reviews..etc and just buy with preference? without doing some homework?

howabout you make a better argument other than saying "don't compare to paperwork"? you want benchmarks? the 6990m and 580m are neck in neck in benchmarks. real world Game performances? same thing. 3D? the 580m 3D does not work in m17x r3 at the moment. Driver support? AMD/ATI's support has been uptodate so far, even enabled MLAA, that's something nvidia has yet to release themselves. price point? the 6990m is a 300USD upgrade, the 580m is a 600USD upgrade. Phyx and CUDA support? cool i guess, but with a 300USD premium on top? not my cup of tea.

I know some people will still choose the 580m due to nvidia preference but hell any person that has done their homework would know which one's is the better deal.

calm down man, dont be too serious, outside review are paid to do review, so they will do everything to optimise, where u found that benchmark on notebookcheck there, i comfirm 100% not accurate, GTX580M score at 13k? my 6970 score a the same range. 6990 also the same, i rather save those 600USD or 300USD for just a small small different....... but still nvdia always have the best driver(no throttle issue, no shuttering) where my 6970/ greassemonkey 6970Xfire also having this issue. and im not saying nvidia is better as well, they offer overprice GC just to clock up some on the older version and come out new version. i own all the series of Alienware, and i have most of the specs, u can ask here people. just dont waste money on some of the minor different from what u said. i rather go for 6970..... save 300++ for other stuff or SSD upgrade, no matter how strong is ur PC, without SSD also cannot.

If i did offense u, im so sorry. Maybe im not well in doing home work, i know how to save money only

i take offense when someone throws out random posts about "don't do this, don't do that" while not backing up their claims. But anyhow, I believe we both agree that the 6970m is the best card for price performance at the moment. Also if you read correctly, the 6990 or 580 are not a 300USD and 600USD upgrade from 6970 (that's from 6870), so effectively it is a 50USD and a 350USD upgrade. Obviously 50USD for another 10% increased performance won't be everyone's cup of tea (it's MYR300), but for people that are buying the m17x r3 new, the 6990m would be a better investment in the long run.
