Good evening ladies and gents, need a sanity check here...
I'm looking at getting an Alienware 15R3 with the 7820HK + 1070 (new old stock) ... Should I be worried about the thermal issues with this combination? |

QUOTE(edmund_yung @ Sep 28 2018, 09:46 AM) Yes, seems like the old one is just as bad, or worst. Some people solve it by re-pasting it in the past, but do you want to buy a new laptop and go thru the trouble? If it's actually "solvable" per se, I'd take the risk and go for it actually... 😅 Worth a try, as it's still cheaper than a new 8th gen 1070. Is there anything else I should watch out for? |

Today Dell Engineer visit me again to exchange heat sink / fan and motherboard Looks like I'll be on really good terms with the Dell engineers, then...   |
