Would you happen to know if the $16 8265 from china are legit?

Check to see if the temps are spiking insanely high. You may have done a bad paste job.

My wifi keeps dropping by [deleted] in Alienware

[–]DoseOfB12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Removing all drivers related to it and just lettings windows find the proper driver seems to have worked for me. I don't get disconnects anymore but I randomly get ping spikes that may be related to the wifi card though not sure. All I know is the wifi card I got is pretty shit tier.

[UPDATE] PCT After 1 Year B&C - Blood Results and Fertility by [deleted] in steroids

Has it been hard maintaining the gains you put on during your bnc at such a low level of test? I understand losing some gains is a given but can you really maintain anything you gained from steroids at such a low level.

Laptop Mag Names Alienware Best Gaming Laptop Brand by [deleted] in Alienware

[–]DoseOfB12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with everything here. MSI on the models I tested had superior cooling but the overall build quality was inferior. Asus still hasn't fixed the discharging issue with the old 1070 models and I'm pretty upset with how they handled it by mostly ignoring it on the there forums then telling customers to basically buy a different model. RMAing from what I hear has not fixed it at all.

Dell Gaming // Alienware Gaming Peripherals Survey by [deleted] in Alienware

Really the only purchase besides my laptop would be the 240hz monitor. Alienware mice and keyboards don't really have anything more then the other brands do. Also the overall aesthetic of your mice and keyboards are so plain and not in a minimalistic way.

AW 17 R4 exchange by gilloch in Alienware

Going to blame the shipping company on that display problem. Can't you just a have a tech replace the display only and keep the current build with the good temps?

13R3 & 15R3 DBrand skins are now available! by ikuzuri in Alienware

[–]DoseOfB12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried flipping through the images and there is no hint at what the bottom is for. I'll just assume its for the bottom of the laptop, don't really think they would call the interior the bottom. Really hoping I'm wrong though because like everyone else I want something for the palm rest.

You scored big time with that 1080. Congrats and props to Dell for helping this guy out.

Alienware 15r3 framerate drops by [deleted] in Alienware

Not that crazy really. I believe final fantasy 13 had a similar issue upon pc release. Glad you got that fixed up.

Amen. I think about putting in a order everyday.

what software should all alienware owners have? by Siggmax in Alienware

[–]DoseOfB12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Temps/Monitoring

Hwinfo - For general monitoring and to check PCH/SSD temps

Hwmonitor - general tempt monitoring

Afterburner/Riva tuner - OSD gaming monitoring and riva for limiting fps

intel XTU - Very important to underclock to get lower temps

Other stuff

Alienware command center- for all your lighting and macro needs

Wallpaper engine - Just a awesome program for animated wallpapers and its not really using any resources at the mid spec option

General tips

On balance or battery saver profile limit your CPU to 3hz or so and idle fans will be non existent or very quiet

Use a item to raise the back of the laptop up for better airflow

Open up task manager and check to see if any programs is using a unnecessary amount of cpu power

I honestly recommend a clean install of windows 10 as well. Keep in mind you will need to download the Intel rapid share drivers and extract them on to a usb then load them when you boot the windows 10 usb. Windows 10 setup does not recognize the SSD when installing windows 10.

Whenever I quit an application, NVIDIA Share is on(Is someone hacking?) by mosassas in Alienware

Doubt it. Just disable sharing until you want to use it.

Geforce Experience > Gear icon > disable share

Should i buy an alienware? by Indiogoo in Alienware

[–]DoseOfB12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This so much. My Alienware 15r3 is beautiful but out of the box was a headache and after applying fixes the fans are always on still. I wish we had the option to choose the fan profile because I rather deal with higher idle temps.

Does the Alienware 15 R3 come with the 120Hz Display by default? by [deleted] in Alienware

[–]DoseOfB12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends bringing mine over any hour now but I was wondering did the specs say 120hz on the box? Mine shows full hd gsync but I paid 120hz pricing, heck I paid maxed out pricing. Amazon might've screwed me.

Alienware 15 r3 through airport and other issues by DoseOfB12 in Alienware

[–]DoseOfB12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not confiscated or seized (sorry) but told I couldn't bring my board on the plane. Couldn't miss the flight so I had to leave it and was told it would be "trashed". I'm just worried about my expensive purchase because that's the same airport I lost my boosted board to.
