[CPU + GPU Temperatures + Benchmarks] - Alienware 17 R4 / 15 R3

Please copy and paste the format below and post your temperatures as many are curious about the Skylake and Pascal chips and how they do temp wise in the new machines

* Feel free to tweak the post to your liking as the main point and purpose here is, "Organization."

Update:

Here is a video of the fan noise. 17R4.

Put on ear phones and listen closely as I've tried to get the most accurate representation of the fan noise using several adjustments on the manual controls to record this audio.

The fans are a soft whooshh sound and it is not bothersome. (At least to me.)

Enjoy...



Update:

Important note: For those of you with the 15R3, keep in mind that the fans are smaller than the 17R4 so don't get let down by not being able to achieve the temps of the 17R4. Expect to have a little higher temps from the 17R4's, but if you repaste with liquid metal you should be well within the comfortable range so no need to worry.

The CFM ratings for the 15R3 are:
7.6 and 8.7

The CFM ratings for the 17R4 are:
12.1 and 12.8

This translates to the CPU fans being ~37% larger (CFM capacity, not physical size) and the GPU fans being ~32% larger on the 17R4, which is a big difference guys in its ability to pump out air so again, 15R3 owners, don't be discouraged.

Spoiler alert...

Can the 15R3 achieve as good of temps as the 17R4? - Drum roll....

YES! In fact, if you have a chip that is a silicon lottery winner, you can tune it to achieve some great temps! I've been here at my work station tuning a 15R3 for hours and finally found the sweet spot...check out the results! (BTW notice the even core temps?)

1 HOUR of running OCCT. (Check out the average temps!)

 

BONE STOCK RUN:

GPU Temp stayed in the mid to upper 50C's.


Run 2:


Avg Temp After the Run:


========================================================================

With a little spice...



BONE STOCK: Gaming KF2 (Max Settings) after 35 minutes.

GPU Peaked at 58C.


BONE STOCK: OCCT RUN for ~15 minutes.



OC'd to 40x Core and 40x Cache = True 4.0GHz.

OCCT for 1 Hour!

========================================================================

New Personal Best:

GTX 1080 Territory on a 1070. Just getting started....this is a preliminary run...

New Personal Best: @ only 4.2GHz

* So annoying that it throws that message of the graphics card not being recognized...we all know that's not true...These scores are recorded and will be validated accordingly on the 3DMark Server.

Physics Score: 13,139 @ 4.2GHz

Fire Strike - 16184

Another PR: 11/1/16

It's nice to be in the GTX 1080 territory...

Time Spy: 5999 ...+1? Ahh...I'll break 6K for sure...but for now...

What a tease...Literally scratching 6000's ....for a GTX1070, not too shabby....

And here it is...

Finally broke into the 6K...

40x Core and 40x on Cache: Cinebench R15

For now. There are a lot of great enthusiasts out there, so it'll be fun to see some results.

wPrime:

43X Test Run - wPrime - (Preliminary run.)

Update:

Revised PCH Mod.
(Revised and Improved over the copper shim method that I had posted here.)

Thanks for being patient guys. I just had to make sure before publishing this (long duration tests)...many many tests later, it's sealed and confirmed. It works great.


Enjoy

 

Can you post your ASIC quality?

Edit: my bad quick read, and thought Firestrike was Mark 11. Your score is Good

 

ASIC quialty checks do not work on Pascal cards.

Is just not supported yet? or will it never happen?

 

That's a good question. No idea. Just know it's not supposed as of today so there is nway to report ASIC quality.

@iunlock can you see the pch temperature ??
on the other hand, really good performance !! is a little beast

 

Is the gpu max temp really 58c!! Never seen any laptop with this low max temp!! Did you tried furmark?

 

On my AW15R2 after repasting my OC-ed 980M also only reaches 62c under full load while playing BF1. So I am not surprised this is continued in the new series.

 

UPDATE: (10/23/16)

REPASTE (Grizzly Conductonaut) SUCCESSFUL AND WOW...

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS...

STAY TUNED...(Literally just finished up. Running OCCT while cleaning up.)

Edit: Oops, just noticed that I posted this in the wrong thread LOL...oh well..I'll leave it...make sure to check the:
[Alienware 17R4 / 15R3] - Disassembly + Repaste Guide + Results

thread tomorrow.
