Here is my daily use Alienware M17X under bench mode:

 

 

lol, nice.

and what did you gain with the additional cooling?

Not tested yet, I know the GTX 260M is 700 MHz stable on air, now I am just testing insulation & fixation. Will also check if I manage to find any voltage regulator chip and mod it. CPU is only a Q9000 OCed @ 2.5 GHz though

Looks cool

 

Did you also insulate that thing? Or just put the SS on top of it?

read previous post

be sure to isolate it well or it will die.

Still under warranty, if I kill it, I will have the new one with Sandy Bridge + GTX 560M , well I hope so

loool

Remember to post your results

 

Nice carpet you have too

Haha, didn't notice that when I looked the first time. Nothing wrong with a little carpet and toy car adventures while you run your benches

Wow....

NB overclocker Master...that's a great idea

I hope Allienware still alive

reserve a space in the garden?

Sick man remember when i felt crazy ocing a NVS Quadro 140M ^^

How did you mount that thing? Or is it just put on top of the chip?

 

you should send these pictures to alienware^^

Well atm I am studying how to insulate it well, as for fixation, just need to do 4 more holes on my 2 Single Stage plate.

 

Cannot go higher than 2.5GHz for the CPU thru the BIOS, It's impossible to set higher bus speed , stock is 2 GHz.

however, just because I can, I will cool the CPU with LN2.

 

On monday, I hope, I will Bench the GPU under Single Stage + CPU on air, and if everything go well later next week I will Single Stage the GPU + LN2 the CPU.

 

DDR3 sux btw, 800 MHz (1600 MHz) 9-9-9, no way to change CL.

Holy sh-t. Awesome !

too bad, you can't clock that much.

with my laptop i can change ram timings, oc the gpu, oc the cpu without ptoblems.

Which laptop you have ?

 

On my BIOS, I can only increase FSB

aquado c760

 

i can change nothing in the bios.

 

i use setfsb in windows and memset to change the memory timings.

for gpu oc i use rivatuner\evga precision\....

setfsb doesn't work with nvidia based chipset, memset as well . I use nvidia systemtools but I can't change CL, so I run 9-7-7-20 I think

ok, that sucks.

i'm glad to have an intel chipset then.

Okaayy, more pics at Ocaholic.ch

 

 

Including overview + voltage regulator chips (Mods comming later) and fixation plate for single stage now GTX 260M capable

What kind of insulation?

Vaseline?

vaseline + armaflex/neopren

You can try ThrottleStop.

I tried several, but this one only works for the XPSM1730.

Maybe for your alienware to ?

good luck, i hope it doesn't die.
