i m bad luck with dell
all my 3 new unit aso come with defect
never buy any dell in the future
thou their service is superb

i do aware of that, however due to my room air conditioning my temp will never reach limit hence will never throttle...
but do you know how to do it?

Not sure how. It seems like they just downloaded the EVGA Precision X thing and not installing the rivatuner (which come with it apparently).Then proceed with setting the temp limit to whatever you like.

For more details. you can start read up from this link. If no dell solution when I received my alienware, i'll be trying this.

thanks

Actually the best solution is maintaining a cold environment for your laptop
because if you change the limit also it will shorten your 5k machine which is a waste.....

yup. electronic temp is inversely proportional to lifetime

That being said, I dont think I'll be in airconditioned room at all during my gaming session

u have a link to it?
the temp throttle is freaking annoying!
i cant get my gpu to go pass 400MHz!!
WTF?!!!

You could try this

Thanks bradda!

U tried it?

I tried gaming in a very cold air conditioned room....
Still kene throttle!

not yet. my estimated delivery time is end of month. zzzzz

gosh, i think ur machine got defect,
no way ur machine can be throttle that low in such a cold environment.
call dell for support n rmb to check does ur changing of ssd void ur warranty
bad luck for u

wish u dont receive a defect machine like i n xandman does

really really really weird.....
now it boost up to 949MHz....

all i did was change the preferred graphics processor to nVidia instead of Auto-select.

So now i guess say bye bye to battery!

mine not defect ok?
just settings a bit pusing2.

and bradda....
the software works like a charm!

Nice. hopefully dell gets its own solution w/o third party app.

Alienware does not need any throttling

do u mean global setting in nvidia ctrl panel?

wassup alienwarers ... may i ask how to bargain with dell?

yeah man. if we need throttling or need better battery life....we would have gotten an Ultrabook!

yep

call them and ask for discount.
thats how. really.
