*OFFICIAL* Alienware M18x Benchmark Thread

John can we see your benching set up ? some pics that will be interesting

so some one can beat me with my own setup? and then give some long in depth speech as to how they all of a sudden did it. with some detailed technical analysis (having nothing to do with nothing what so ever - ) / debate on amd white sheets and power constraints...
ROTFLMAO!!

let me think about.

Now there ^^^^^^ is dedication to benching/overclocking a laptop........you are indeed "as crazy as a box of frogs" (no offense meant btw) but hats off to you John....the rest of us are not worthy......

Side note: how come when I opened up my beast , I didnt get any of those fancy extras lol..........

none taken stevie.

well...because you didn't have them stashed away like i did...

Nice John, where is the insulation? What are you using? Or are you just using them to pull heat? No dice or ln2? Never seen anything like that on the left gpu and cpu? Mainly just pots

[steviejones133]

Haha...in all seriousness, WOW.....I am really impressed with how far you have taken it.....incredible stuff. Thanks for sharing your pictures....I am sure you will have just saved a few people from killing their gpu's in the hope to compete with your scores.....can I ask "why the HUGE pipe on the secondary and not the same as on the primary?"

[Aikimox]

Who am I kidding with the 4-piped HS....dammit, gotta cancel the projects after this, lol.

+1 rep

the 2 small copper blocks are from my k|ngp|in ln2 pot.(love those) the dice/water block pot is the tall one.
tried some dice, but you have to watch for condensation so i just sit them on the heat sinks and blow cold air. works alright i guess.

lol on the 4 piper...keep working that angle.

but like speedy and i were talking...dell went cheap on the gpu heat sinks..they should be all copper just like the cpu heat sink is.

side note:

didnt do insulation because i only tested some dice to see what was going to happen. you would need to insulate the card and under the card & cpu socket.not about to be doing all that there...lol

OMG! that is so amazing and don't worry i will never take the extra step to be a professional benchmarker

[ARGH]

Luckily, this is the, "benchmark," thread and not the, "stable 24/7," thread.

so it's the "meaningless" thread

[steviejones133]

so it's the "meaningless" thread

Nope...its the "lets see if we can thrash these beasts to within an inch of their lives to get the best performance BENCHMARK results out of them" thread......hmmm, maybe I could PM a mod to ask for change of thread title? lololol - nothing "meaningless" about that......
