My M15x spoil because of using this. Haha. If like when u hungry or eat not enough still i ask u to work

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.

thanks for the info to invest extra rm320 for an adapter, need to reconsider la.. dont get much returns, unless my 150w rosak.. else save money for something else like SSD maybe?

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

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...

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

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.

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.

hmm after repaste cpu and gpu my temp getting much better

Don't think so la bro..if I think like that I already buy m17 last time d..17 so heavy,18 lagi heavy!!

Do I require any new power supply to get the laptop running smooth?
I'm thinking of getting it soon. Upgrading at LYP can r? They know how to open an alienware laptop?

Agree with what you said, kelvin_hata.

This shows that 150 W power adapter is too weak to be used by M15x. In other words, Dell Alienware underestimated the power requirement of this laptop. As it is a laptop for gamers, gamers tends to push their gaming beasts much harder. The safety margin in term of power supply was too low, resulting in the 150 W adapter overheating all the time.

At least, the power supply for M17x-R3 and M18x respectively is sufficient.

or maybe the contact between yor heatsink with GPU really bad..

when repasting try put a fingerprint of the thermal paste, and after put the heatsink, try pull it back, see wheteher the fingerprint still there or not.., if still there, means the contact really bad...
