I contacted widezu on advice I didn't see much help in the link though, maybe changing the values to 99, but thats about it?

Do you know how I can find the amp for the m14x? Also, will increasing the amp of the processor help increase it's clock rate? I increased the reference clock by 3MHz and for some reason, it seems to be going even slower

Yes, it does take the 2860QM The Dell Online Store: Build Your System Also, I can change the reference clock rate where I could not in the BIOS with XTU

Oh alright. However, I was able to change the reference clock rate in XTU when I could not in BIOS. I set my reference clock rate from 100.00 MHz to 103.00 MHz Also what about the core current limit? Its set to 0.000 A PS: Autotune failed miserably.

Yeah, I think the overvolting of the GPU via BIOS was the biggest enhancement of my m14x. Thank you svl! Also, I believe the bios is unlocked, but when I try to run XTU's autotune, it fails. I will try and tr

Doesnt svl7's BIOS mod for overvolting the GPU say it's unlocked? Idk, I am heading to bed now, I will use the XTU's AutoTune with "Aggressively Over Specifications" and the 140-260min timeframe

I'm using XTU, it looks like I can overvolt and overclock using this utility. Does it actually work?

Well I mean my BIOS said that my RAM was operating at 2133 MHz and CPU-Z said 1333. Is there a known problem with CPU-Z not reading the correct volts?

I try to change the volt settings on the memory, but when I check CPU-Z, it always reads 1.5V

Would you recommend I set the volts of the RAM to 1.65 and then clock to AUTO? Would it make it perform faster? Also, is there a way to monitor RAM temperatures?

Would anyone mind telling me what they have their OC set at? Also, I tried to lower the clock of the memory and up the cores, and it made the performance worse for whatever reason

Here's the thing though, my temp has never exceeded 90 C, it has always been upper 80s. I don't think upper 80s is considered too hot, although I could be wrong... Also, how would one go about repasting? Is there a visual manual out there somewhere?

Yeah, I used svl7's overvolt mod... That's how I found this forum in the first place hahaha, I think that thread (specifically that page) is really famous

Hello all, I was wondering if there is a way to go above 800/1600/1080 on my GPU overclock. Any higher crashes when I run MSI Kombustor

So... Here's a vid I made really quick. I tried to confirm with CPU-Z on the clock rate and it still says its 664.7 (which is 1333 dual channel). Any ideas on why it is still set to 2133? I did use the BIOS mod for GPU overvolting by svl7, but I don't think that has anything to do with it Alienware m14x 2133MHz Overclock on Default 4GB RAM and i5-2140m - YouTube

Also, does anyone know if the OC rates of the GPU is directly related to the processor I have? It seems to max out at 800/1600/1080 for me

Hello all, So I just realized that with an i5 processor, the best clock rate I can possibly get is 1333. I read somewhere that you can easily change the processor on the m14x since it isn't soldered into the board. Are there any recommendations for cheap, mobile i7s? Thanks! Raymosrunerx

So the max I can go in RAM speeds on an i5 is 1333?

Thanks! I think I will send the order in for this. Do you know how to configure the XMP profile? I saw the option to in my BIOS, but I dont know what to set it to, profile 1, 2, or custom?

Hi! Is there a better product you would recommend? I was also trying to upgrade to 16gb (2x8gb) rather than 8, but I cant seem to find ones that have nice heat dispersion.

Hello everyone, I've had an alienware m14x for a while now, and I've been looking to upgrade my RAM. Currently, I have the i5-2410m processor, and I think that the maximum clock rate I can get to is 1333MHz. I heard alot of people using this as their upgrade and had commented that this has nice heat dispersion Newegg.com - Kingston HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 HyperX Plug n Play Laptop Memory Model KHX1600C9S3P1K2/8G I was wondering if there is a 1333MHz option to that model? I can't seem to find it. Any help is greatly appreciated! Raymosrunerx PS: I really like this forum, I stumbled upon this the other day and decided to give it a go... I got my GPU to go 800/1600/1080, which is pretty sweet http://forum.techinferno.com/alienware-m14x/561-%5Bmod%5D-voltage-increase-nvidia-gt-555m-7.html
