Ya, the unlocked version lets you control the fan speed and trigger point but it only has 2 stages

I would use HW monitor but i get terrible stability with that program (with latest version), the program locks up after a while and my fans stop dynamically changing

Thanks for the suggestion though

Lol, iget this man the 2920 i7!! Im starting to lose my mind with these scores. I remeber when 1900 was reaching for the stars GJ Nekojin!!

Thermal paste is deffinally the best thing you can do if your getting bad overclocks. the difference is pretty phenominal on the m14x.

Any chance of getting an unlocked A05 (not volt modded)? might actually make it usefull if you can change the fan speed in the bios

Hmm, looks promising. 5% over 280.26. Thanks for the post stevenx was just thinking its about time for a new nvidia driver

According to the internet m14x doesnt need a modded inf

Very nice. Ile probably wait a while to get this but these details are pretty crucial to me

Also, im not sure about the relevance but the i5 m14x is a duel core with hyper threading apposed to a quad core. i doubt it makes a difference But thanks for checking the performance on the i5 front!

Hmm, Maby you just didnt get lucky on your GPU... But i would check the driver too, i think 275.25 is still the fastest by a tad.

Lol, you guys are brave to do a volt modded A05. Those bios almost overheat just with a simple overclock,

Cant believe someone beat me and got 850 T_T

Lol, thanks for noticing mooshkill3r theres a thread on performance with the i5, also some 3dmark11 scores in the benchmarking area. Sorry to hear about the vision dillema BTW thanks for reminding me i need to post more stuff.

Construction probably doesnt count as shipping but, keep track of the date, because i think if it takes too long your supposed to call alienware about it. but i think thats probably closer to a 2 week timeline.

It took me like four days on the standard shipping I thought i had more time so i went camping, about 20 minutes after i left my daad called and told me it just got in. sad day.

I liked fallout newvegas, but it was essentially a revamp of fallout 3 (very simular). But it has enough new content to keep you busy 100 or so hours. Sadly the game has poor optimization, but i would recomend buying it off steam because its pretty cheap ($20) so its not going to set you back much if you dont like it. the only downsides i can think of to the game are as follows

1)Buggy (nothing game breaki:ng though)

2)not very optimized

3)a little too simular to fallout 3

I have the i5 version, as long as you dont use bios A05 i dont think it will ever go over 90. so it does run hot but theres plenty of buffer space.

I assume if you removed the memory plate on the m14x and got something that blows more air into the laptop you could get a nice 5-10 degree drop, depending on conditions.

at the moment im trying to beat deus ex HR, but im getting burnt out (40+ hours in 3 days) so im taking a break so i dont get sloppy I also am playing Borderlands thanks to TMI and im on the verge of playing world in conflict (with soviat assault). Plenty to keep me busy

Lol, i would but my m14x is identical to yours apparel wise.

So, be prepared to call me stupid but your saying we could have an extra 30 degrees of headroom if it were developed differently? This makes me sad.

I would be interested in a copy! Infact i would love you if you gifted me <3. pm me if you need to be loved, lol!

Its moments like this that make me wish i knew how to code/hack. Justice need be served.

Lol, bios A01 continue to be the best choice for us tech savvy foke. mmmhm

Hey everyone. =) I was wondering if someone could do me a favor. Could someone run Tomb Raider Underworld and lemme know how it runs? It's one of the games ive had since, literally, the beginning of the year. I'm more than certain the m14x can handle it but I wanna just see how well it *can* handle it. I'm so Close to being able to buy my on m14x and I'm eager to finally play this game.

Hi, you left a request on my youtube channel a while back, sorry it took so long. Loaded up the game maxed out with 4x AA and it ran silky smooth. Never went below 60fps. I was actually surprised at how well it ran because this game actually looks pretty good. I didnt play it for too long because I got stuck alot but, from the numbers i saw you will probably never get a single 'hiccup' the entire game.

@Enfore ive been running A05 for most of today and overclocks deffinatelly have no effect in battery mode over the a03 bios.

I did some testing with these bios, it definatelly adds more fan phases, but i seem to be getting a 4 degree increase in temp while gaming. (from 78 to 82 celsius)

YES!! Finally bios update worth getting! (not counting the volt mod )

Lolz at carrot orgies and people who look just like their ID

You have to have a modded inf for the specific driver so nvidia site wont work. If i were you i would get to know the laptopvideo2go website because its very useful for laptop gaming.
