lol...
after repaste only reach 90+ before repaste can reach 110+

waatt 110+ O.o it can cook an egg if u put at the top of it.. LoL

what compound u use? or maybe the contact between the heatsink and the gpu is not good? the pressure not strong enough?

I need to upgrade my Alienware m15x graphic card. 260m is old.
Any recommendation? That will work with m15x laptop?
Someone can help? Installation as well. Living in KL btw.

GTx 460M or 560M ?

Seems like now M14x ram can be upgrade to 16GB 1600Mhz rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

Yup, Mushkin start selling single 8GB SoDimm 1600 now,
Add RM1k, u got 16 GB today

Even older machine still un-officially support 16gb, as long as u use x64 architecture.

But seems the benefit is goes more to digital & 3D artist than to gamer..

Still, is a good thing... Gonna wait till the price lowered a bit, and gonna get pair for myself, hehe

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?  tongue.gif

just make sure u go to a good shop, some shop not even know what is alienware, i like freezed when i hear their reaction when i asking about alienware adapter... they think it's a new lousy china brand rclxub.gif

but as long as u know what u do, u can do it by yourself actually...

lol last time also i repaste max temp also reach 90++ like that

i think your fan is want to retired already lo..., LoL

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...

I thought they got special number for xps and alienware... service which is 24/7


Added on November 22, 2011, 8:22 pmBtw... what pasting is good for m14x... recommend me please
*
1800-88-0301 is number that come out at alienware website, so i think it should be good to go...

as for paste, Arctic Silver MX-4 is good and commonly used, also easy to found, else for consideration : Tuniq TX-4, Shin-Etsu G751 or Cooler Master TF-400 also should be good enough if u didn't do any OC, and also cheaper..., haha
