 I will provide the graphic card heatsink mod in my implementation for alienware 17

 

the best  solution to the problem for Thermal Throttling

 

 i tested nvidia 880m and temperature dropped a to 74c max

 

the project  it would not work without help  Mr Klem which helped to lower the clock speed and modified the bios

 

bios modded via klem in link 

 

 

the clock changed via KLEM  

 

GPU Clock: 902 MHz
Boost Clock: 928 MHz
Memory Clock: 1250 MHz

1. Completely uninstall MSI Afterburner (if it installed) with all settings. Reboot laptop.

2. Download and extract archive luks.rar

4. Flash your vBIOS mod (just run the command file flash.bat ). Reboot laptop.

5. Done.

Also, I recommend after any vBIOS flashing, then reinstall NVIDIA drivers with enabled option "Clean Install".
