mikecacho Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Nice post. I had just recently repasted and repadded my R4 (3720QM/7970) the temps dropped from the CPU at max load from 84C to 82C and the GPU temp from 72C to 68C under max load.OC GPU/FLASHED VBIOS 1.075 900/1300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mw86 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Thanks for the tutorial helped me !! i have a m17x r3 with famous gtx580m throttling problem...I'm trying to correct the temperatures...somebody else correct me if I am wrong but I know the M18x R1 had revised updated versions of the AMD and Nvidia heatsinks... I think at the same time the R3 did. Maybe you can get the revised heatsink? [MENTION=4186]Alienware-Frank_L[/MENTION] I'm not sure if that was the case can you correct me if I am wrong?

kaxen Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 frankly speaking. anybody should repaste it. my temp drop around 10C and 5C after i repaste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraiel Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Read the whole thread.First off, I find it amazing, how much courage you guys have, keeping in mind, that it's perfectly possible to screw ones complete hardware if i. e. applying too much paste?Once had a DELL technician at my home, was also already astonished as his speed when repasting the CPU an my old XPS.Wonder if I ever will try to do something like this to my AW, having the thread and what I said in mind, I guess that there are guidelines to which one can stick to at least not screw up and cause harm to the system, I'd find that a link to a tutorial, enlightening people about what they have to keep in mind when applying the paste would be great, as I guess that most errors are either done there, or when tightening the screws.Anyhow, great Guide, so feel free to add that info whenever you want, or not, if this is basic knowledge.Sera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellboy2703 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 i did repast the cpu and gpu block, but did not replace the memory thermal pads, because i could not find it in Bangladesh.Will that be any problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyane Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 My m17x r3 is 2 years old, I was thinking to repaste the CPU so I will follow your instruction. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoRocel Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Just did my r4 now, before i had 87 degrees not sits at 72 max , i used mx-2 paste seems to work fine ,gu now from 74 sits at 63 max . I was thinking,what determines that pads need replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewAMEL Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Just got my AW17, 780M. I have low Fire Strike scores, but my clocks are steady at 849MHz. That seems to rule out a re-paste, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow21 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Thank you for this guide! I need to get this done as my gpu temps reach 84 sometimes. But what is really the danger temp for damaging gpu's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xflood Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 the pictures really helped me, after i repasted my temps dropped 7 degrees ! awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGMLP Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I have the new Alienware 17. Reckon the same method could be applied on the GPU since a repaste results in 2-3 degrees lower temperature during gaming. Just a couple of questions though:1/ When I opened up the heatsink/GPU there was a noticeable amount of factory-applied thermal paste both on the heatsink AND the die, which is MUCH MORE than a grain of rice and the entire copper surface touching the die was completely in grey grease. Only by using isopropyl alchohol was I able to actually SEE the copper.2/ I have Artic Cooling MX-3 from couple of years back. Is it still good for repasting in terms of performance?Thanks a lot.

runix18 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I need the same guide for gtx 770m please.. because i have to find a solution for the vram underneath aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milocinia Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Thanks a lot dude. I just bought a new board for a m17xr3 and this will be helpful when putting the cpu and gpu back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponx Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I've heard that the R3 and R4 are quite similar (never seen an R3), so is this guide valid for the R4 too..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
