my M14x R2 "experimental cooling mod" success!!!
Vesago replied to thanats007's topic in Alienware M14x / AW 14
Hello All, I know this thread is dead, but I did this mod on my M14X R2. I printed out your photos in 11x17 paper, and used 3 different thicknesses of thermal pads to make everything fit as snug as possible. I did this at the same time I used IC Diamond, upgraded the CPU to 3840QM , some badass ram, and a 1tb SSD (heat reduction). Problem is when I turned it on, temps soured to almost 100 deg. I don't think these temps are just from the upgraded CPU. any thoughts? I'm thinking of removing the pads from the voltage regulators to increase interal air flow, but wondering about the pads around the CPU too.
