My First Year TECH Hardware and Software

[@suburbanview]

gLAD U GOT THE I9. I have the i7 x17 r2 very happy with the performance, specially working in Blender. With the thermals I start using the Curved to , its seems to work better than just the default. Next step will be to repaste the cpu and gpu, but for now (the LT is 2 month old) so I have time for doing that in the near future.

Thanks for the update, glad to hear your R2 is working great!

[@koalabreak]

Also, what thermal setting are you running from the Alienware Command Center?

[@al3xxli]

I normally run performance mode since I do utilize the GPU to a greater extent

What was wrong with the first one for it to get sent back?

[@al3xxli]

My audio jack had issues and the technicians couldn't repair it

Looking to grab the x15 1440p version today for office/development/research work for my company and this update was helpful. When using it as a laptop on your lap just doing normal day to day work (nothing cpu/gpu intensive), do you notice it getting too hot? That's probably one of my only concerns right now.

[@al3xxli]

Doesn't run too hot at all, especially with the quad fans. I have it on my lap all the time at home haha

[@koalabreak]

Why is it a 3 parter? What is part 3 going to be???

[@al3xxli]

Part 3 will demonstrate more of the softwares and performance when loading projects, it'll be the final wrap-up

Why did they send you the i9?

[@al3xxli]

I sent the i7 back for repairs however Dell proposed that they just send me a new one instead which I have no complaints about
