Grimmrelic87 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 hey all! I'm new here so I don't know if this topic has been discussed in the past so forgive me if it's a repeat. Here's the subjuect. I have an older Alienware m17xr2. specs: i7 840 16 gigs 1600 mhz ram 500 gig ssd gtx 680m with a modded bios from svl7 which works insanely well and gave new life to the 680m my issue is thermals. I have the gpu fan speed maxed out, a laptop cooling pad and I even used liquid metal thermal grease. I can't stop the GPU from throttling. my gpu is overclocked to 1045 on the core. I've tried even going down to 1000 on the core. no luck. I know alienware has crappy thermal solutions but I was wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks to help this issue. I know letting it run at stock would eliminate the thermal issue. but the that would be the difference between 35-40 fps in games to 50-60 in games. any help would be appreciated. Thanks and sorry again if this was already discussed -Grimmrelic87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
