This section is only for AW17 and M17X... Anyway, are you sure you got the right BIOS file?

That is awesome! did you leave the aluminium on the heatsink? I might be doing that to my R4 but for the cpu as the 3940xm gets hotter than the 3630 I currently have anyway, thanks for the idea ^^ good luck with your mods.

Yup, you can upgrade it, there are videos on YT, go check them out if you want and those cards are already for sale on eBay... 860, 870 and 880 respectively

Hi, does anyone know if such thing exists, or if it is a mod? If it does exist, where can I get it? Thanks in advance

I have a GTX680M and my PSU is 240W, I may be selling my GPU as I will be buying the GTX880M

Hello guys, I'm new to the forum (I own an Alienware M17X-R4) and I'm thinking of upgrading my i7 3630QM to a 3940XM and my GTX680M to the GTX880M, I do know that my PSU won't be able to power those components (correct me if I'm wrong) as the difference in TDP from my current setup is about 30W and the power consumption will rise with the overclocks... so I'm planning to do this mod and run it all with the M18X PSU, but one thing that I don't know is if the CPU heatsink needs to be modded in order to properly cool the new processor... I saw a thread about this same CPU upgrade on TechInferno and references to a "triple heatpipe heatsink" for the M17, but nothing that I could get enough information from... (no part number, etc...) So if any of you guys could help me, it would be great
