[GUIDE] Dell 330W Power Adapter Mod for the M17X
Ark replied to Nospheratu's topic in Alienware M17x / AW 17
I had an extra 330w PSU and modded it as instructed for a friend who owns a m17x. What I have noticed is that the PSU temp is higher than when plugged in to the m18x, as it is running on 240w I expected the opossite (lower temp). Could it be that I made something wrong or is it normal? -
Thank you for that link. So, the fan tables are still the same no matter what video card the system came bundled with? Mine came with a GeForce GTX 460M... I will read all those threads in full. I am currently using HWiNFO64 to manually control the fans, I thought I might be able to correct such behavior with an unlocked BIOS version. Would anybody still recommend to flash it?

I own an Acer netbook. It is a basic unit, mostly capable of office work, but what I can say is that I had it for over 8 years and it has been 100% reliable and durable. I did not plan to use it for such a long time because I was confident it was going to break eventually, but it was a big surprise. I use it all the time, I'm a developer and an IT guy, I always carry it with me to configure networks for security installations (cameras, dvr, etc), I travel to factories in remote places and I have dropped it many times. Never had a problem, not even the HDD failed once. Last month, I replaced its HDD with an SSD unit to increase its performance and prevent any damage due to travelling. Definitely recommended.

Hey, I have a similar issue, mine won't turn on the fans until it reaches a high temp (over 60C), once on, they lower the temp down to 40 C and turn off again, letting it climb back to over 60 C, the cycle repeats forever. Same scenario if I am playing a game with the only difference that the temp range increases from 60 C to 85 C I am checking if that behaviour can be corrected by flashing to an unlocked BIOS. What BIOS are you using?

I have the A05 stock BIOS (m18x R1) and for some reason the CPU/GPU fans won't turn on until temp reaches 60 C, at that moment they lower the temp down to 45 C and turn off again, repeating the same cycle over and over. Anybody had that same issue? Is there a chance to fix that with the unlocked BIOS ver?
