Do you think repasting could solve the problem bcz the gpu is running hot over 90c eventhough opening normal window apps like Google chrome.

Hi

Have you checked System Health? I mean has ePSA Diagnostics (fully or at least for CPU, Video card and fans)  been run? I suspect you have, haven't you? And what? ePSA.jpg

You already wrote that you performed BIOS roll back. I still keep on my hard disk previous version 1.7.0, 1.6.0 and 1.5.0. I can send to your e-mail if you need.

After I had applied metal liquid (Conductonaut Thermal Grizzly) I was observing temperature dropping even 20 degrees. But remember the metal liquid is getting dry and it's sometimes hard to clean

see on my CPU, GPU and heatsink. Finally I was able to clean CPU and GPU but mat/patina remained on the heatsink

Hi, thank you for your reply. I remember doing this diagnostic test in one of my other dell laptop last time. But I am not sure how to get into this in this Alienware laptop. Pls guide me

Thank you, btw do you think repasting with a conductonaut would be the best choice and what was the reason for you to repaste it using liquid metal??

Hi

I applied liquid metal from pure curiosity.So many users used Conductonaut and my laptop was out of warranty period already, so I wanted to try. Afterwards a few tests were carried out by me and I was impressed less temperature. But to avoid any damage of CPU or GPU I made up my mind to re-paste again and I used Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut.

Remember - whatever you do it's on your own risk.

What about health of your system? Have you executed ePSA diagnostics? First of all you have to find out what the reason is of high temperatures.

Yes kryonaut is way more safer, and i think i should repaste it. I havent done full thorough diagnostic test yet, i will update it ltr. For now i tested my vga card and its fan and with some basic scan. The result was good and errors. 

Btw among bios version you have, which do you think works the best for you??

P.S: Currently iam using bios version 1.0.8

Could just be the way the pictures look but figured I would atleast ask you what happened to that mother board cause alot of the chips look melted and even some of the traces on the board look shorted out…
