Did you reinstall Command center by any chance? If yes than you have too reprogram youre mainboard chip.

i know but it was my final solution for this card......but anyways soldering can get up too 350 so 250 is not that hot.

Hey all, I had a AMD 7970m that gave me artiffects and din't run on my M15x so i decided there was no way of getting it to work again..........after 3 months i finally thought about trying to recover it and so i did. It took me like one hour at 250 dgrees (Celsius) in my oven put it in my second M15x and .....tada....it worked again, Maybe it can help some of you so that why i posted this........good luck and if there are questions just ask.... Gr Mike

Its eighter the Card or youre mainboard.......i had the same turned out it was my mainbord (after bad 09 bios flash) Dell replaced it then......i was Lucky.

How much? and send youre adres and stuff so i can send them......

ok this works i did it last night and working again......smile.......... proud owner of 2 m15x now.......

Just drilled 3mm ......

Does this work on al Alienwares?

I dont know if its already posted here .....just in case. AlienFX repair.....WORKING LEDS at last!! - Alienware Forum - Alienware Club - Dell Community

mine will reach about +225 core with +50mV but than i am on max it will run, remember you need to test with little steps and watch temps.

again a few updates.....

Little update first post.......

Just the cover of the GPU, CPU and disk...Iam working on a write up so please be patient......smile.

In a sense i just put some waterblocks on top of the heatpipes en connect them with quickrelease connectors on a laptop cooler frame. so i can disconnect the watercooling without leaking and the waterblocks stay filled with water, but when there is no pump cooling the water the stockfans (witch are still fully operational) do there work..........does that make sense???

there you go...........there is also a video link there http://forum.techinferno.com/alienware-m15x/8622-m15x-hybride-cooling.html

To be honest its a hybride cooling so the water is connected with quickreleasconnecters and so it completely moveable. The stock fans take over when ever i am moving it with me. So its mobile asmuch as it was before.

http://forum.techinferno.com/alienware-m15x/8622-m15x-hybride-cooling.html thats the picture its also on the benchmark treat....

Cooling is not a problem really... watercooling on Cpu and on Gpu, temp not above 50 degrees on heavy overclock right now.

i got i little more with overvolting it too 37,5 mV 265 core and 400 on mem, max 185 Watt and a score of 10437 (12331 graphics only)

this is as far as i could get it .......

so much for CPU wil be the bottleneck..............

Finally got it flashed.....thanks Robbo youre help was great. First run overclocked i think that its my limit as well everything more gives me crashes......so +230 is the max for me. But still impressive for a 6 year old lappie......smile.

Owww right i see dint know you could only test gpu benefits of advance version i gues than. Very nice score i won't match that one.

Guess you went of the charts, 3dmark cant keep up with you.......hahaha.........nice pic
