Alienware 17 overclock and moding


Recommended Posts

I installed a cooler from a PC and attached a fan that is powered by a power supply and put the whole thing on a cooling stand. As a result, the processor temperature in idle 32-35, the load does not exceed 77 degrees, decreased by an average of 12 degrees, the temperature of the video card also dropped by 5-7 degrees. It turned out to be a collective farm, of course, but stable. 👀

The fan blades on the photo are wrong, in fact they are the opposite. The processor frequency is 4.2Mhz, Throttling is minimal in load.

Hi, Just wondering.

I have some of those small copper "shims" (I got from somewhere) same as in your pictures all over the heatsink.

In your experience did they help with cooling at all? I just assume greater thermal mass in the heatsink?

 

I'm about to lap my cicichen 4pipe heatsink because I have been using liquid metal for a long time and its all dried out unevenly.

My normal temps are 45C (with undervolt) but lately I have been hitting 95C on some cores.

It helps only in combination with additional blowing on the radiator and it needs to be installed on the crystal, that is, first a good thermal paste, then a copper plate, then thermal paste again on the plate and you apply the radiator evenly from above, everything needs to be done carefully, and thermal pads need a little more layer so that the plate does not come off the crystal and presses well. The result: the idle temperature is from 29 degrees, the load is 77.

Those are nice temps for a Hotwell cpu!

Yes I thought you might need another fan in conjunction with the copper shims to make a difference. Ok, now I know. Thank you. :classic_biggrin:

I actually talked about the 980M video card.

This procedure does not give anything to the 4900QM processor..

Can you tell me people? There is a 4900MQ processor overclocked to 4400MHz, when loaded, the frequencies drop constantly sometimes to 3200MHz, that is, it only works in idle at a frequency of 4400MHz, the temperature in the load does not exceed 77 degrees, I use liquid metal. How do I fix the frequency, the bios is unlocked, all settings are done in the Throttlestop program.?

It's still right to implement it all, in any case, thank you, I will try.

go to bios, look for pri plane and change to 800 also make sure power limits are increased, that should fix it
