don't have an M14x but from my experience with M15x, M17x-r2 and M17x-r3, most coolers will do little to nothing to help with temps. how ever propping up the back end will help maintain a cooler temp overall. what i highly suggest is repasting and repadding.

Don't even think twice about it. Once you update your vbios that recovery partition is pointless for us R2 owners since it contains the older driver that causes the bsod with the latest vbios on boot up. The clean install doesn't contain the wallpapers, avatars, login screens, etc. You can get all the originals you need from this thread. And the applications and drivers direct from Dell.

Whenever my R2 squeals, I just beat it with a stick.

Here are some videos of some people who received their M14x prior to ours. Just to fill in the gap of waiting.
