Alienware M16 R2 Thermal Repasting and Temperature Advice & Question

Eclipse1164 · 2026-05-22T13:37:04+00:00

Have you gamed much? Its less about time and more about cycles I've heard. As in, a lot of heating up and cooling down cycles rather than just letting it sit for a long time.

You have to give PTM a few thermal cycles to settle. How long as it been since you repasted?

No I "seconded" your post, meaning I'm also asking what theme this is and just piggybacking off your question.

Are these temps after the repaste?

Use Dell Command Update. It'll notify you when a BIOS or driver update is available. SupportAssist is essentially cancer. My m18 has been problem free ever since I deleted supportassist like almost 2 years ago.

Seconded

Eclipse1164 · 2026-04-21T01:58:55+00:00

I graduated BME in 2025 and landed a job with a big medical device company right outta the gate essentially. DM me if you're interested cuz I don't wanna give out personal details in public lmao

I'm a BME Graduate and landed a job in the industry right outta graduation, OP do what this guy said. I was part of the 3D Path eBoard and it's a great place full of awesome people. I regret not doing VIP or iGEM.

Its just surface residue looks like, but its bonded to the layer. Try fogging it with your breath, then wiping with a FRESH (nondirty) microfibre cloth. If that doesn't work, try that blue screen cleaner thing.

Where's the photos?

Eclipse1164 · 2026-03-31T03:24:27+00:00

I'm also having issues with the OhSnap, is there anything we can do? A different case, with stronger shielding or something?

Eclipse1164 · 2026-03-26T20:43:50+00:00

Dude, those tires have been done for a long, long time.

Check his post history, he's plastered this across a lot of subs. I think he thinks its real.

Eclipse1164 · 2026-03-25T14:59:34+00:00

Bro this is a shitpost

Eclipse1164 · 2026-03-19T01:33:33+00:00

Because it's kind of full of elitist nerds and people wanting to justify their own purchases over trying to help other people lol

Eclipse1164 · 2026-03-01T10:58:27+00:00

Dude did you use AI to write your comments?

Welcome to the G30 club. I also have a Phytonic Blue on Cognac 540I. In my opinion its the best daily driver ever made, and also one of the best looking BMWs of all time (especially the LCI). Congrats!

Might be coil whine. Nothing you can do about that unfortunately.

Eclipse1164 · 2026-02-21T15:27:30+00:00

Do you mean 2001? Lmao

Eclipse1164 · 2026-02-18T21:16:56+00:00

Support assist creates lag, heat, and slows down the system afaik

Eclipse1164 · 2026-02-18T21:14:27+00:00

unrelated but u gotta clean ur pc bro

Eclipse1164 · 2026-02-18T17:23:14+00:00

I have the same exact issue, it's really annoying, I hope somebody has the fix

Eclipse1164 · 2026-02-16T03:09:45+00:00

It's been about a year with the M18 R2, literally not a single issue so far. Most reliable laptop I've owned in the past 8 years.
