M17x R4 - cpu overheating problem


Recommended Posts

Hy, my alienware ( m17x R4 ) is overheating.

I have done everything that i could.

I edit video on my laptop, when rendering my cpu stays at 92-96C , and drops the cpu frequency to 3.1

Anyone have this problem ??

Any ideea for a solution ?? ( i have tried : cpu paste ( arctic 5 ); cooler change; cooling pad ( u3 ) , cleaning ) nothing works.

What is your room temp. ?

i had exactly same problem when I put to much thermal paste on cpu and make sure that the heatsink is Mounted correctly (strong) enought to cpu. Also make sure there is enought space on the back of alien to blow out warm air.

Can u tell us your cpu voltage ?

Did u get it 2nd hand? Maybe bios is modded with higher voltage?

My cup temp (no oc) never goes over 75*.
