Some of you may have seen that we've just been given the bad news that this whole forum will be shut down from January 31st. For Alienware fans, there is still the dedicated Alienowners.com forum which is where I was introduced to all things Alienware back in 2011. I am a mod over there these days so I'd love it if we could keep all the great people and knowledge from this site and bring you over there so we can keep helping people with their new, old and legacy systems....

-m15 battery So the battery for my m15 R1(8750+1660Ti) has swollen up so badly that the bottom cover isn't even remotely flush with the keyboard deck. Its out of warranty, I contacted Dell and they told me a replacement battery was backordered, and I'd have to wait some time for a new one. I was already kinda annoyed by having to lug around the beast, I always prefer small thin and light laptops and use a desktop for games, but I had to make an exception cause...

Hello guys, I recently bought this model on Ebay with: i9 10900k 2080super 32gb 16x2 3200 (but running 2933) 1,5Tb ssd + hdd Now I would like to change the Thermal Pads and repaste with Kryonaut, but I don't know if I must follow the same guide I saw here on NotebookReview for Area 51m R1 because of pads thickness. I believe my VRam are frying 'cause of the chassis near the power button is pretty hot, so that's because I want to change them. I would like to buy the Grizzly's Thermal Pads,...

So I recently got my hands on an rtx 2080 to swap in place of my 2070. Going to use PK-3 for the paste. Probably repaste the cpu as well while I'm in there. My question is other than pulling the old card out and putting in a new/repasting. Is there anything else I'm going to have to do? Should I put new pads on the gpu ram heatsinks or just reuse what's already on the gpu? I'm currantly using the 330watt and 180 psu's so I think I'm good to go there. I know the rtx 2070 is limited to 115... Alienware area 51m r2 upgrading to rtx 2080 ..read more

Skip to the 24:19 mark for complete details, but it looks like Dell is sneaking in an additional $67 charge for an onsite warranty even when customers have explicitly opted out of it. So if you've placed an order in the last few weeks/months, check your invoice to see if you've been billed for this, then raise holy he|| with them to get it refunded ..read more
