I ordered 3 a few weeks ago and they didnt ask any questions.

do we know for sure that the nebula red is holding up orders? i asked my sales guy and he said the lead time was the same for black/red.

arrived today

order shipped today for the heat sinks. ill let you guys know in a couple days if they are the correct parts.

Yah, I'll get another one ordered tomorrow.

yah i thought that also. here is what is listed on the order.

HD9NJ 1 Assembly,Heatsink,Central Processor Unit,QC XE,M18X $18.99

hopefully its the right one.

Just finished chatting with a sales guy online. I was able to purchase the XE heatsink for 18.99 + SH. EDD for that is 7/19. 8 Days before my laptop arrives.

I called Dell and was speaking to the guys in the parts department and they seemed to think I would be able to get it. He just couldnt give me details on which was the dual piped cooler. I will try again tomorrow and let you guys know the results.

I was looking at the parts list. Is the heat-sink we are after one of these?

HD9NJ Heat Sink, CPU, Qual Core, XE

X4KPF Heat Sink, CPU, Qual Core

***im slow today. is XE short for extreme edition?

Yah I might call back and change the cpu also. Not sure how happy my sales guy is going to be if I do this for the second day in a row.

do the factory alienware 2920xms come with a different heatsink?

I was able to get Dell to change my order and replace the 6970s with 6990s for no additional cost. EDD is now 7/27.

I'm seeing it on the US Alienware site as an option now. Now to see if I can update my order.

Thanks for the responses. I'll keep an eye on those threads. I'm interested in seeing how this turns out.

Hello Everyone, I'm new to TI and also new to Alienware. I have recently ordered an m18x. I ordered the base CPU with plans of upgrading to the 2920xm at some point. I have been looking on ebay and have found some i7-2920xm ES with a 2.4Ghz/3.4Ghz speed. Has anyone had any experience with these or do you have any thoughts on purchasing this. They are quite cheap at the moment.
