Somehow I doubt you're intelligent.

If that video card produces enough heat to melt the plastic cases as people have reported, moving a little bit more air over the heatsink isn't gonna fix it. It may help, but it won't fix it. That's why Alienware is holding off shipping more units, most likely 'cause they're trying to figure out some kind of redesign that won't necessitate throttling back the GPU.

Remember, think before you post.]]>Mar 19th 2008 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/alienwarez-bios-released-to-fix-overheating-area-51-m15x-rigs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/alienwarez-bios-released-to-fix-overheating-area-51-m15x-rigs/
It's something like when the temperature goes anything above say, 90 degree, then the GPU will start throttling back so it won't increase much more heat that could cause instant overheat/cooked platform.

With that bios fix, it will sort of control the temperature since the fans spin up to 5400rpm, so it won't reach the temperature that will caused the throttle down issue.]]>Mar 19th 2008 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/alienwarez-bios-released-to-fix-overheating-area-51-m15x-rigs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/alienwarez-bios-released-to-fix-overheating-area-51-m15x-rigs/Mar 19th 2008 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/alienwarez-bios-released-to-fix-overheating-area-51-m15x-rigs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/alienwarez-bios-released-to-fix-overheating-area-51-m15x-rigs/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU]]>Mar 19th 2008 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/alienwarez-bios-released-to-fix-overheating-area-51-m15x-rigs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/alienwarez-bios-released-to-fix-overheating-area-51-m15x-rigs/Mar 19th 2008 10:33PM
