I don't remember paying tax on my 7700 over three years ago. I did pay a $100 for shipping though. Thats unfortunate as it makes the price a little higher.

I haven't had any problems with Alienware rejecting service based on screws being worn or missing (I actually stripped one panel screw myself and threw it away after I removed it.) If you are sending the laptop in and the problem could...

Search Google for GetThermal. You can also get it and a CPU over/underclocker for the 7700 packaged at tokamak7700.com. Use GetThermal to set temp trip points instead of manually controlling fans as manual seems to be buggy and...

Quote: 1.00.12 2006/10/14 1. Information not available at this time. If is isn't broke, don't fix it. ;-) I wouldn't expect anything new from the update, but if someone has already tried it and it adds a nice...

The older ClockGen utility for the 915P chipset allows you to change the FSB frequency. Luckily I saved the application from a few years ago as their newer utilities don't work with the 7700 last time I checked. The settings reset...

For some reason, I am currently unable to login to any support area. I have sent them an email and expect a response tomorrow. But I think i remember the latest BIOS is 1.00.06 and KBC is 1.00.08. But those should still work.

Are you using the Intel or AMD version of the 7700? That would lead me to believe that you are either using a slightly incompatible BIOS (i believe its the keyboard ROM that controls the fans) or it flashed incorrectly. When you...

Just for clarification, I wasn't talking about the thermal pad for the core (CPU) but the pads next to it that rest onto chips (I assume they are some kind of ram chips). I noticed that those pads could not be replaced with AS5 without...

I use GetThermal to set trip points in Windows XP. It helps with overall system temperature and have never had a problem with it. Also, its settings are cleared after the computer is turned off and the laptop is unplugged. I would...
