Dgvr4 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Does anyone know how thick are the thermal pads and how many are in the m14x? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quix Omega Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 From memory I don't recall seeing any thick pads on my m14x R2. The GPU and CPU are covered in fairly-generic looking paste and the GPU memory has thin thermal tape on each chip. This picture shows 6 memory chips, which is a bit odd because I thought that memory chips are normally installed in even numbers.http://www.your-motherboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Dell-Alienware-M14X-R2-Motherboard.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dgvr4 Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Im about to repaste the gpu and cpu and also thinking to install higher performance thermal pads so thats why Im looking for the pads thickness and how much they are. Also Im following this thread; http://forum.techinferno.com/alienware-m14x/2130-my-m14x-r2-experimental-cooling-mod-success.htmlSo you people think that maybe 1mm thick pad is good for replace stock ones?

Quix Omega Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I would suggest thermal tape, but truth be told the memory doesn't run hot anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
