Congrats BOSS!!

You better release the 11.5 review soon before 11.6 leaks out and you post up another thread about waiting

The M18x has just landed! It will be about an hour before I report back, going to record an unboxing vid real quick and then take some pics. Might take a bit of time to get it all uploaded, stay tuned.

You are such a tease and oh so lazy. Take a simple picture and post up some shots of the HAWTNESS

Lol I got tired of calling the Dell order status line. But now I obsessively refresh fedex's page and knowing the system is in the same state as me is torture.

I am gonna relieve your torture and go ahead and swap out Aydin's laptop for yours. Then you can begin benching his V-tech and swap out the paste for Mx-4. I will take care of your m18x and will even do you a favor by posting up a review on TI only.

So with all the brain power on the forum, anyone think it would bw possible to add additional voltage options to the R2? I know Thewizwould be the one to talk about it, but thought someone out there would have some input. Now i KNOW this wouldn't benefit the xm cpus as they produce enough heat, but it would benefit the non xm cpus. I know with the 150mv increase, I could run a 540m at a stable 30% overclock. FSB @ 175mhz. So I think additional voltage could help close the gap between xm and non xm. Or at least make the non xm cpus more find to toy with. Even an extra 150 mv would be nice.

I think voltage should be easy to manipulate in the same way WIZ is planning on tweaking Bios OC. He will still have 5 options like 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% instead he will relabel those and change the hex value or some sort of value corresponding to that. He spoke about doing it in increments of 2%. I think he would be able to use the 75mv and 150mv and just find out what code it is using for both and try to change the code for 75mv to 150mv code and use a new code for 150mv that would give you the increased voltage. Not sure if he can add more voltage options or just modify the 2 options to use a higher voltage.

I wear an alienware shirt that the Alienware guys in Miami gave me when I visited their headquarters. I also have a Alienware pens and other goodies but it's in my other Alienware backpack (which they gave me) sitting at my cousins house in NJ.

This might be the reason why you have a hard time with the ladies....I kid i kid

Thanks for the write up very detailed.

looks nice thanks for the info....BAZINGA!!!!

Offset changes for 10 from stock to 5%:

1%: 32

2%: 33

3%: 33

4%: 34

5%: 34

I can go to 37 or 38 stable and 39 leads to BSOD. Usually 150mhz to 152mhz is where i max out and is plenty to get a 920xm over 4.0ghz

Guys...I cant stress how much attention you need to pay when screwing down the heatsink. If you are a NOOB do not even attempt this and just upgrade to high quality paste. If you have experience take your time and LESS is MORE so go easy on tightening and have your computer on while screwing down CPU to get a even load temp and stop when you are ahead before you CRACK that chip.

I would say GTX 485m and 6970 otherwise stick with m17x.
