Btw, I have been reading that apparently with the Alienware command center you can monitor temperatures, but when i go to my Alienware command centre I dont see any place where i can check temperatures
This stuff combated my Alienware 15 R1 with the 4710HQ which used to reach 104c on Heavy load but when I put this stuff on it, it dropped the temps down to 70c on heavy load. So I overclocked it to 4.1 GHz with the graphics amp of course. Then the temps still only went to 75c and nothing higher on heavy load. I also remembered to clean my heat sinks and dust them off to get more airflow.

60-70 are just slightly high for low loads. If you want to reduce temperatures, there are 2 options:
1. Undervolt the cpu. This is pretty easy with Intel Extreme Tuning Utility and you should do it.
2. Repaste with a good thermal paste such as thermal grizzly kryonaut or if you are comfortable with liquid metal then Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut.

Hi,
Did you try stressing the CPU with a benchmark or while gaming? If yes, what were the highest temperatures that you saw?

Get some server grade paste to combat the heat.
get some thermal pads as well.
