Bro, mind to share the FRU of 55W M17X-R3 heat sink fan? If it is not available, any compatible part? Currently using a 2860QM, but I managed to secure a 2960XM

Just got myself a M17X R4
Will be using it for daily work.

Thinking to throw in a 3920XM but the thing is dont know where to get the 55W heatsink fan

I wish to know the part number of the 55W HSF too, but I still unable to find them.
Anyway, even I have a 3840QM lying around, highest end non extreme edition for Ivy Mobile, it is still 45W only, while all Extreme Edition processor is 55W, I gonna check some review and find out, or else i stick to 45W can liao

Thanks bro, I bought an empty body and throw in all the things, got the body without processor, ram, graphic card, harddisk, ROM and etc, like i said, empty body
So i just korek something in my store room and build an Alienware with CTO spec

Alienware M17X R4
Intel Core i7 3840QM (Using R3 HSF with Liquid Metal Ultra)
OEM Alienware M17X R4 HM77 motherboard
Kapok HD7970M with Dell VBios (Using EBAY bought HSF with Liquid Metal Ultra)
A-DATA 2x8GB 1866Mz RAM
Plextor M6M 128GB mSATA (HDD Cache)
Intel 520 Series 480GB in RAID 0 ( Total 960GB)
WD 1TB Scorpio Blue (ODD Caddy)
Old school Killer N1103
Dell Mini 375 Bluetooth

Theoretically, I spent more than a new R4 or M17
But so far, the temperature is very impressive.

My 7970M idle @ 48c load <70c in all games
My 3840QM idle @ 50c load <80c in all cores loaded.

I'm very active in PC hardware modding and overclocking, until recently I have no choice but to let go all my project and started thinking to use a laptop,
I salvaged the parts from scraped or upgraded laptop from my customer, mostly traded in lo....
But this R4 is not as good as my previous gaming laptop

at the AceCombatWare
Soon I gonna strip down again and paint the laptop, still deciding which color to go to.
I prefer plastic dip as I have experience when I mod Projects for my customer.

I salvaged the 375 from a R3 janji boleh pakai!!!
380 is much better?

You have to buy very very very very very high quality chrome wrap to wrap a laptop as normal chrome sticker, they are hard and cannot bend or flex one.

My customer R3 that I modded was pink, plastic dip

But it is very unique in pink color as I believe not much peoples own a pinky AW in the world

Today, I finally completed my Iron-Lady™ project, a simple combination of Matte Phantom Yellow + Alienware Stealth Black.
