Hmmm, would like to ask is there any service that help to clean my video card of M17x? I am at around PJ area and willing to pay some bucks to help so...

i am bad in doing this thing >.> and the recent random shutdown due to overheat during gaming really annoyed me..

Its really easy actually.

Google the video and try yourself. Its fun getting know your own beast hardware

i also get random shutdown due to overheating i guess... i think its time to repaste...

Hmmm, just got myself a screwdriver and artic mx4, any clue where can i get the compressed air? can use perfume 1 ar??

Bought mine from Ace Hardware

And one more question, what is the best material to remove the old thermal paste from memory?

I use IC Diamond, it comes with paste remover as well. So far so good, gaming never exceed 75C.

Btw, any of you use X51?
My friend wanted to buy this one, he said there is a random BSOD error issue with the system, is it true?

oh damn, any paste removal recommended other than IC Diaomond? coz i already got the Artic MX4...

MX4 is good don't worry,

as for cleaner, u can use rubbing alcohol, can get from pharmacy

for compressed air, i got mine from computer shop at lowyat, forget the shop name, the one at the 4th floor if i'm not wrong.. Ace hardware also sell this thing...

hey guys, sorry for asking stupid question here, hope u guys dn mind...my dad keep asking me to change laptop so i was thinking of alienware m14x since they just launch the new specs/model, the 1 with geforce 600 series...
but i read quite a lot of place stating tht alienware is overprice for its specs...is tht true?
and also i read tht the alien feature/software or smth tht came with the alienware will b gone if u format ur laptop? does tht mean i can nv format my alienware if i wan 2 kp the feature/software?

Alienware for its brand,warranty,solidness
btw warranty for it is good, espcially next day and part to part exchange... they go onsite and change for u

as for that alienware feature and every driver, u can download it from dell website la... no worries

dear all,

i have an m11x R2, if i want to use the alienrespawn to restore my alienware to the factory setting, do i just need to click the program from start up?

I didn't to touch it at the moment

ic, im hesistating right now...not sure wanna get alienware or msi...cause for the same price i can get pretty great specs on msi...but im nt sure bout the warranty n stuff as whole house use dell n gigabyte...

Dell warranty i can say in one word , best
call today , next day visit ur hse get ur alien repaired

i tried before, changing the whole mobo last time XD

No owner of X51 here?Please please

I am, been using it for months, so far never encounter any issue. But mine is the lower spec one, not the high spec because I use it for normal gaming not hardcore, I got Xbox for gaming, bought it for the sake of Alienware!

Just curious, your friend want to buy but he said there is issue? He not even buy yet how he know there is issue? Confused...

He said he read review from somewhere, I didnt ask him the source.
So he is afraid, but if you can confirm there is no issue, then I can tell that there is nothing to worry.

Wait for Ivy...................

i think "switchable" as in nvidia Optimus tech

Hi, i want to ask. Is it true that its cheaper to buy from overseas instead of locally? for example, from US. What about the tax? and does alienware has International warranty?
