    damn man, how are the temps? Got a chill pad or something?

    NO chillpad man!

     

    Temps are between 135 degrees fariengheit to atmost 170.

     

    I have the fans at 100% but it overclocks to that speed when its plugged in.

     

    When its not its at 2.4GHz instead of 3.6GHz

    Sometimes if its really cold it goes to 4.3Ghz but thats rare.

    That's pretty fuggin cool that you got such a massive OC out of a laptop.  Personally I don't like stressing laptops because I don't see them as being robust on power delivery or cooling but if those are your temps maybe alienware built it to be a champ?  My basis is coming from folding at home where my laptop overheated like crazy on a chill pad.  In my limited experience I would say that if it's only the cpu overclocked and you have temps that manageable you should be fine short of an avx workload.  For daily use and gaming you won't see huge power or heat soaks.  Sorry for criticizing your apparently epic achievement but I've had a few and to me my words are golden lmao.  But honestly I'm just bored and looking to interact on something I'm interested in.

     

    What I should of said was, Holy ballz that's a huge OC on anything let alone a laptop.
