Actually, Alienware was supposedly a clevo rebrander until they got so successful and dell bought them out.

As the title suggests, my CPU has overclocked itself or something of the sort. It stays at max boost clock (3.5 GHz) when idle and goes up to 3.7 GHz under load. The OC itself is fine but I wish it wouldn't constantly stay at 3.5 and get idle temps of 50 degrees celsius. It might just be an...

Just wanted to point out, this laptop is actually $1400 as configured not $1600. Never buy things directly from the manufacturer. Get it from Xotic.

The thing is, this laptop is only $880 on Xotic PC so it is good value. Try to mention this in the next sager review.

the thing is, where would i get a copper box? I would also need some sort of opening that the alcohol wouldnt leak out of so im going to make sure it works before trying it out. does anybody know the exact evaporation and condensation temps of alcohol?

You know how that rubbing alcohol evaporates at room temperature (or somewhere around that) and that the evaporation lowers the temperature of the surface it's on? So what if you put some rubbing alcohol in a copper box that it won't leak out of, put a heatsink on the box, then put the heatsink...

So I decided to overclock my laptop's gpu (nvidia gtx 970m) the other day and I only brought the memory up by 20mhz and the core clock up by 30mhz using evga precisionx. Everything was stable and there was a noticeable increase in performance. BUT, Hwmonitor said my gpu core clock was only 540...

I'm planning on using an evga 750 sli ftw mother board with an ASUS AMD HD 7859 2gb graphics card.

I'm planning on building a budget gaming pc for a friend and I found some killer deals on craigslist. Now I know you can't use 2 crossfire cards in an sli motherboard, but does it matter if I'm only using 1 card. I know this is a dumb question but just wanted to make sure.

I am looking to cool my laptop to temps that are at least under room temperature. I thought about using a TEC but it turns out they suck if you are trying to use them with an air cooling system. I don't want to water cool it (water and electronics does not sound good to me) so I can't use a TEC...
