Non-aircond vs aircond

i7-7700K undervolt 80/70
GTX 1060 75/70

Probably the 1060 doesn't clock as high but it didn't go into crazy temperature or shutdown. I probably can repaste and get better temperature but doen't feel the need to.

I only undervolt -0.12v. Are you testing in aircond room? That idle should be with the fan off.

What was the findings during troubleshooting?

Might be a good time to get thermal grizzly kryonaut since it's going to be re-pasted. I'd ask the technician to help apply

Good to know SSD screws are present.
My DELL XPS desktops didn't include screws for SSD, scavenged dodgy screw from my toolbox 

That processor is not worth the premium price IMO if it's just for gaming. Invested in the 120hz G-synz screen instead.
Another lemon unit. Mine hit a high 86 degrees playing Witcher 3 on high settings. Acceptable but I'm probably gonna repaste it like everyone else. A colleague repasted his AW 17 using Kryonaut and he's looking at 70-80 degrees with undervolting as well. I'm just afraid of opening it and fucking up the Killer wireless card.

I have a 6 year old Toshiba laptop as well and it's still holding very strong without any issue at all. A shame the Japanese manufacturers are not investing in gaming laptops. I reckon they will do a much better job than their Chinese and American counterparts.

I guess that’s the price premium you pay for AW.

get the technician name.. n complain to DELL.. haha.. MSI only TITAN is better.. THE GS is slightly below AW becoz their still using 7th gen cooling style.. if they put 1 more heat pipe then GS cooling win aw liao.. but due to chasis design... it is limited...haih..

GE n GP...  beat ROG lo.. n illegear raven if u repaste thermal compound...in cooling.. (er... mayb close eye oso beat ROG... not sure.. bout tat yet.. )

let me guess the technician name.. ahmad, or taufik... this 2 love to talk kok 1... hehe

Glad the overheating issue is fixed. 

May your framerates be high and temperatures low   

sound like loose connection, better ask technician to check it out.

looking your post makes me wondering the build quality Alienware nowadays. I guess rumors about worst QC for Dell is quite true.

if ur problem still persist.. call in n use back the old case number.. jus tell them refer to the previous report .. troubleshoot already done but problem still persist..

mobo problem happen mostly when u upgrade bios.. i kena many cases de... as the old saying, if ur bios no kacau u, better dun update it.. haih

restart then f12
run epsa test

ic
then hardware malfunction.. tell them fan gone fast.. but task manager there show 5% on the GPU n PRoc only

Sure happy to answer 

1. What Memory RAM u are using ? Thinking to upgrade memory too ...

Out of the box my laptop came with SK Hynix 8GB DDR4 stick.
Bought matching exact RAM model for dual channel.

HMA81GS6AFR8N-UH

Dell might install other brand memory, check what's installed in your machine before buying.

2. How do u transfer Windows to SSD ? Clean Windows install, Use Windows Recovery or use EaseUS to transfer ?

Cloned HDD to SSD using Acronis direct 1 to 1 copy.

My method is kinda long winded

1) removed original HDD
2) swapped in temp HDD - Windows 10 and Acronis pre-installed.
3) Installed NVME SSD
4) Installed original HDD in external USB case.
5) Boot the machine
6) Clone original HDD to NVME SSD
7) Format original HDD and swapped temp HDD
8) Restart laptop booted straight to NVME (didn't change anything in BIOS)

There's better ways to do this I just didn't bother 

Nope didn't remove the partitions.

Before deleting hidden partitions recommend to perform a full backup.
Some of partitions are are boot partitions, example deleting EFI will make system non-bootable. Don't delete it 

Others are factory restore image for windows. Honestly wouldn't bother removing those partitions they're fairly small.
