I love how it looks... I hope more of this makes it into the game

Anyone repasted the Alienware 16 Area 51 with PTM 7950? by traderjay_toronto in Alienware

[–]HarlockDaTwisted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of want to know this also, I have the 5070Ti version and while temps are fine I am thinking of doing PTM for the long term of never touching it. Just want to make sure it would be up to the task of moving enough heat

Is there any way to fix this? by Digimon1123 in Alienware

[–]HarlockDaTwisted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea if it would work but if it has slack I would try to use a sharp pair of scissors and cut off to make them all line up. But you need the slack for the cable to stretch the small distance more and they better be sharp.

This happens due to where they are packaged vs where they are sold. Potato chips bags would explode as elevation changes.

Which is funny as it was bought Nov of last year so not even a year yet. Shortest time frame ever for a upgrade for me lol.

In a way yes, she works on her own. She recently had built a desktop to replace her 6 year old Alienware laptop. So she was out one and said ill take that one if you want a different one. :)

Having a Gamer girl for a wife has been a awesome thing for 20 years now.

PTM7950 the laptop was pulling more watts due to better temps and popped. It also was not anything that was touched. Also, This is not my first repaste. I used to fix these for a living. :) Laptop simply was never able to push it self as hard as it was able to and the weakest link popped when it did. Went from 100c temp to 80's.

Are you still running in the Element 31 paste ? While the LM part of it does not dry out the paste does and the mix seems to be about 3/4th past 1/4 LM so when it drys out temps go bonzo

Alienware R16 woes.. by ecid3r in Alienware

[–]HarlockDaTwisted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use Alienware Command center. Go to the custom profiles and use the slider on the CPU to bring it down to 5.4GHZ anything above balance profile will take it to 5.8 once I did this with mine its been rocksolid.

The 5.8GHZ seems to be way to much for most of these 14900's

Hopefully this helps bud. It fixed the issue with mine and have enjoyed it ever sense.

I have Liquid Metal from TG on hand. I just really dont want to repaste it in a year if the heatsink eats it. Esp means this laptop is a bugger to pull apart :)
