I think I was able to fix it I grinded the backplate a little bit more and reapplied thermal paste, I was able to run Unigine Heaven, 3DMARK11 and 3DMARKvantage and the top temperature I got was 78°C in unigine heaven no shutdowns so far I will keep testing a bit and run some games if someone wants to check scores let me know I'd actually like to compare.

I have a little bit of a problem.. laptop will shutdown as soon as GPU reaches 84 degrees C. I tried grinding the backplate posts but I see they are still considerably longer than backplate for 5850m. would the backplate for 5850m work or is there somewhere to get a backplate that doesn't need to be modified?

Thanks, I got a call and I will be getting both the card and CPU today. I ran Unigine Heaven, 3dmark11 and 3dmarkvantage so as soon as I replace the parts I'll be benching again to compare results.

thanks for the response and modify it how exactly? I really appreciate your help.

ok guys I just got my used m15x from ebay it comes with 4GB RAM, core i7 740qm and AMD 5850m. I am expecting my Core I7 940xm to arrive on friday and my 7970m from Dell by monday. Will this setup work with the 150W? Also I purchased the backplate for the card from Dell will it work or do I need screws for that one too?

hi.. someone with scores for unigine heaven 3.0 with m15x plus 7970?
