!MUST READ! **ALIENWARE M17x R5 - 1080 - I9-8950HK**

hi guys. I've been following this post for a few days now, hoping for a miracle from one of you all. I own the Alienware M17 R5 with I9 processor and this is all I can tell you : This laptop feels like a scam. I have tried SO MANY things and still unable to get a good result. Out of the box, I was monitoring with HWmonitor, MOST of my cores jumped to 100 Degrees Celcius multiple times.

That being said, the performance out of the box was complete garbage. The processor voltage control is so lame, it was throttling every two-three seconds resulting in poor FPS and a lot of stutter when maxing out the graphics. The GPU is not the issue, it has never reached above 85 degrees. Even when stress-testing the CPU alone, the temperatures on this laptop are unnacceptable WITHOUT OVERCLOCKING.

The fan controls are iffy and always running at 100% anyways due to the despicable temperatures. The only way I was able to get a "decent" performance, was by undervolting the CPU core Voltage to 0.9V and adding a -175mV offset as well AND ALSO LIMITING THE CPU to 3.7Ghz on all cores and 4.2Ghz on single-core to get maximum temps of 90 to 95 degrees while playing fortnite, and EVEN THEN my laptop would completely crash or blue screen as soon as the power was unplugged from the laptop (Probably due to high Vdroop to save power?).

I contacted Dell and just like everyone else, I was told that the temperatures are not acceptable and that a technician will be sent to replace the cooling system. My guess is this will not change a thing, the "new and improved" vapor chamber is just a gimmick and cannot handle this processor. I will test after the tech replaces the parts and if there are no changes, I am returning this for a refund.

That being said, unless someone out here can tell us they got decent temps out of the box with a CPU that does not power or thermal throttles every few seconds,

!! DO NOT BUY THIS LAPTOP !!

v tej cene su ntb vsetky dobre. Budu 6 jadtove i7 nemusi brat i9.

Samozrejme nie je zaplatena od firmy... Ale notebook si predsa kupia obycajny ludia takze ovela vypovednejsia a realnejsia bude prave ta od ludi aspon tak mi to vychadza alebo sa mylim? Snazim sa prejst to vlakno aby som videl ci maju taky problem aj ostatni.
