(there are 2 ports on our mobo, one is 3d the other non-3d) not sure if the gpu heatsink is the same for r3 and 4.

Anyone with Alienware 14 can confirm with me please?
I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro, and under device manager > Sound, Video and Game Controllers > Intel ® Display Audio, it is being checked with a warning "!". I clicked on it, and it displayed:
" This device cannot start, (Code 10)
STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE "
Tried installing a new driver update, and it says I have the latest one installed. Any idea how to work around this problem?

I just purchased new Alienware X51 last week and yesterday after I do another research about " NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 with 1.5G GDDR5 ", I read a thread that concern about GTX 760 from Dell. Actually GTX 760 in my X51 is not retail version and it was OEM. How far different OEM version and retail version for GTX 760? Trying to look at benchmark site but couldn't find what I want. Hope some one can clarify this. Thanks!

Hope some one can clarify this. Thanks! It's no different. It's the same card (exclude the ones which is custom overclocked). The warranty will be under Dell instead of the manufacturer of the card. If there's any issues, just call Dell for help. U can check out the link here for further understanding -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_equipment_manufacturer

Went to Intel's Page and they couldn't detect what hardware I have and which ones needed the upgrade. Probably you could inform me what's the firmware version for the latest update so I could look it up? This post has been edited by Kernkraft400: Nov 11 2013, 04:28 PM

Hi admin,
Can add me to the m17x R4 users.
Would like to ask is anyone using some sort of TPU keyboard cover for their M17xR4 , armourone does not have it. Damn have to buy direct from china laa liddis.
I tried the Vindicator 17" on my M17x , its a very tight fit (tried it with the red cloth) , might need to get a Vindicator 18"

(it's for 18.4"). it has a lot of space.

The download and installation took awhile even on 20mb unifi. Chrome only looks cacat if using the chrome app, well not cacat laa just not like normal , the normal chrome browser looks like normal. I think maybe all your fonts and icons looks smaller due to higher resolution, you can change the size of the icons and text This post has been edited by kaoru: Nov 12 2013, 06:42 PM
