ive tried it with powermizer enabled and disabled, no effect, fan remains the same and gpu reaches about 101 degrees C then fps drops because of the heat i assume

I am stumped. Back to Vista or 32bits, and shoot a note to nVidia. Hopefully someone else can chip in on this.

Not bad of a price at all. You want to point a desk fan to your comp and see if there is significant difference. But a cooler is always good when one games.

Have you tried an ACPI update or installed ACPI drivers... ACPI controls fans within the OS... I read through the overclockers post and his model was an ASUS G50vt.. It lists an ACPI driver on their downloads section (under ATKACPI) and it may work on the Alienware...

I am not sure that ACPI drivers are being made available after XP.

ASUS always put an ACPI patch in for their motherboards esp for Vista.. I notice the same with their laptops - I would link, but the ASUS download site won't allow a direct link...

Would you download the file and put it up to mediafire or attach it here in your post if it is not so large?

cheers ...

I am using your info to download and attach the file here for Windows 7 64bits for OP to try out. Correct me if I picked up the wrong file.

No thats the right one, cheers... I don't use file or picture hosting sites (I tend to sign up and forget and the account dies).. Signed up though with mediafire, I'll see how it goes...

There seems to a lot of issues with laptops that are upgraded from XP/Vista to win7 with this and other ACPI issues, reading through the web.. HP is a big culprit... I guess, new laptop for win7 in some cases...

Yeah, looks like Alienware would have to release it - worth trying though....

If you can point me to the file name and version number, we can co-ordinate and get them down. I have no clue as far as external ACPI driver inside Vista and W7 since MS incorporates them into the OS.

I agree that W7 is still new yet for the correct ACPI handling, and new machines. Vista had some issue at the beginning as I recall.

cheers ...

That file was the right one, sorry if my post seemed a bit confusing... Still trawling this through google, no promising results yet... Looks like Clevo (Sager) opted not to use the 9800m due to cooling issues...

I would leave win7 on though and use a notebook cooling tray for the time being - M$ or Alienware (DELL????) may release an update... All newer M15x's seem to be supplied with 240's or 260 GPU's....

You want to give this driver mod a shot? It is for Vista 64bits, and should work for W7 64bits.

As always clean out the previous driver first.

cheers ...
