Hey' date=' What are your temps before the crash? What nvidia drivers are you using?[/quote']

my temps only 70c..am using 331.82 driver..how is it possible to get 10k in 3dmark when ur game crashed at 100/200 OC value..

Overclocking too high & not stable, so either reduce the overclock or increase the voltage.

i dun think that value is too high coz i saw people put more value then me..so shoul i increase the voltage to 1.05v?

guys...pliz help me..im using alien 17..4900mq...gtx780m...i flashed the unlocked vbios..the problem is i can only OC my gpu core/memory to 100/200..if i go more then this..the game crashed...

should i update or juz stay with A04?

My AW17 is fully stock. I just want to make sure it is performing properly. I've got a firestrike score of about 4800. Also after about 2 hours of bf3 and tomb raider my max gpu temp is 78c. Can anyone confirm if this is normal?

mine using cooler..max temp when playing tomb raider is 70c..

try to manually disable v-sync for that game

dell technician came by. replace heat sink and fan, both gpu n cpu. now my temp for intense gaming dropped to 81c

Quickie...what will be the max temp for gtx 780m while gaming after OC.

i got 93c when playing crysis 3. i dont think it is normal.

Sure, it's possible that a factory can do a bad paste job. If you're getting higher temperatures than everyone else with the same model, and you've ruled out all the other options I've talked about (notebook cooler not relevant for this point), then you've probably got a bad paste job & could benefit by either redoing it yourself or getting Dell to do it.

owh. should call Dell for that. im not good in pasting. got bad experience with my ps3.haha

Your temperatues are going to be based on a number of factors:

1) What model of laptop do you have? Different cooling systems have different efficiencies.

2) Have you blown the dust out of the heat sink using a can of compressed air?

3) Was the thermal paste applied properly to the GPU core? Is it the heatsink padded up correctly & installed correctly?

4) What is the ambient temperature in your room? Hotter = hotter GPU.

5) Are you using a notebook cooler? Can drop temperatures by 5degC or so.

6) Are you using the laptop on a flat surface, so that the fan inlets & outlets aren't obstructed.

Those are all the factors that will effect your GPU temperature that I can think of.

What kind of system do you use? What are your settings? I bet you can get more than 975MHz if you get your stuff right.

my gtx 780m jump to 92c while gaming, i dont increase anything after flashing the new vbios.

is this because of bad thermal paste?

Good day,

vbios for 780m..any side effect to the 120hz 3d?

You could just install the 326.41 beta on NVIDIA's website, it's compatible with the AW17 without any modding.

i keep on checking dell website for new gpu driver, then i bumped onto new bios. wonder when will they come out with latest gpu driver as i dun noe how to use mod driver..

new bios for alienware 17 is out...A04

Modify:1. Support Intel PCH C2 chipset.2. Update ePSA 4228A12(4228.19).3. Modify SMBIOS Type 1 information.4. Update Microcode 306C3h Rev.12h.5. Enhance WOL function under Sleep status.6. Modify hardware reserved memory.7. Enhance graphic performance for Nvidia Optimus.

That's just the way it is with GPUz. It's DDR which is Dual Data Rate so it is running at 5Ghz don't worry. Everyone's will show the same.

Owh..thnx for clarifying my doubt.. am juz about to ovrclock it to match with 2500.. =p One more thing, my fren did said that gpu inside alien 17 with 120hz 3d screen always been underclock..is it true?

one question..i hv alien 17 with gtx 780m...why in gpu-z, the memory shown is 1250 instead 2500..

I juz save my bios using gpu-z..is this my stock bios? the filename is gk104.rom
