why your vengenace wont work? because it is not ddr3l?
then what you do with it?
*
AW only takes 1.35v RAMs!
Which are a pain to find!

only model right now is HyperX Lovo! And freaking expensive~

i keep my vengeance lo until someone wants to buy

sorry to hear that bro, but this aw 14 machine only looks good in paper but inside is rotten....
1. throttled gpu
2. default cheap ram
3. does not support ddr3 1.5v
4. heat management is just average/so so compared to its bigger brother or any ultrabook (i know it is not fair comparison)

so dell built a gaming machine that does not do proper gaming = =''
*
Actually it is good.
Throttled GPU can be solved.
And i dun mind the cheap RAM bcoz it is running at 1600MHz. But the problem is DDR3L. It's hard to find DDR3L. Heck it's not even available in stores!
Heat management...i have no issues in this regard...my AW14 is cool all the time! even during gaming! just the rear vent hot.

hi xandman, do you have option to overclock your aw 14 in bios?
mine seem empty in the performance options tab in bios where dell user manual show more setting there
*
u need to enable the option first.
Only then u get the OC settings.

QUOTE(Kris187 @ Jul 18 2013, 01:23 PM)
just dont get the alienware 17 with 765M. why? because the GTX 765M is on the alienware 14 as well.. its just like getting a bigger screen.. lol
*
true that!
Get the best GPU u can get for AW17.
Not saying the GTX765m is bad, but if u can get 770m or above would be better.

so many advanced bios settings..

oh ya can we lock the laptop to just use the discrete graphics? since heard alot of perfomance drop using the switch able graphic.
*
from the forums...
seems that is impossible.

but somehow...they say...
by changing the nVidia settings to use only Geforce...
it will force to only use GeForce.
But batt life will suffer.

I did just that and sure it did improve A LOT!!!!!!

hello anyone bought the new 14 or 17 alienware notebook ?

Have you upgrade the drives without problem and easy ?

Is there a warranty void  sticker paste on it ?

please reply because i want to buy from them , they have installment 0% interest

I was going to buy from custom pc notebook builder Illegear but their storage/ram and screen upgrades are overpriced + no installment with citibank and have 4% interest with maybank which is a lot
*
i have the AW14.
and to upgrade the drive takes like 10 mins with a steady hands.
and no warranty void sticker one.
dont worry. biggrin.gif

Take a look inside. No such stickers to be found.
And ive changed the main HDD to SSD.
Now awaiting the second HDD bracket to put in another SSD.
