Due to the awesome m.2 SSD Heatsink on my MSI GT73VR Titan Pro, look at how low the SSD temps are:
Love the m.2 drives heatsink on this laptop, covers all the three m.2 SSDs to ensure that they don't overheat:
-
That is a well executed heatsink. Wish Alienware could have covered the PCH also like MSI does.

How much does the GPU heat affect the CPU heat? Could it be worth getting an AW17 with just the GTX1070 instead to lessen the impact of the CPU cooling fiasco? The 1070 is probably a card that is good enough in most scenarios for the time being I would imagine.
-
As for your SSD, invest in some thermal pads and connect the SSD to the bottom panel, this will bleed heat and allow the SSD to run much cooler. -
-
only see the activity, rate and totals. No temps at all yet I have it for my other spinning drive...

If you change the slot make sure in bios you select the right drive to boot from. -

You have to look at the full picture. If the laptop is also used for productivity work where the CPU is mainly used, a lower end dGPU or even a iGPU could improve CPU thermals *IF* they are affectedby the GPU heat.

Otherwise I would think the info is available here, should be able to compare the 1080 machine with the 1070. I think there are individual review threads for them? -

I thank with uefi it's not possible to choose.
Legacy mode ? -
Not legacy mode, you can select which drive / partition the laptop boots from. I don't remember specifically where the option is. -
I will try

I try to change slot (3 --> 2) and Windows boot. No configuration, nothing.
I dont know why it doesn't work sunday...
I try to test temp ... -
Better but same problem...
I have very good temp for CPU & GPU...
So in idle or web fan doesn't work... And someone say that good cpu temp... bad ssd temp because fan don't turn...
So I buy today 2x https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/Grap...2773481891.html?spm=2114.44010208.4.65.vigWvp -
3000 rpm were fixed in manual for test (Temp of ssd were 76-78°c but throttle too).

So the weirdest thing. A friend of mine has a 17r4. I was selling him my two x400 1tb m.2 drives out of my DM3. I have spent 4 days trying to get windows installed on these drives.
I used parted magic and "unlocked" them and cleaned them. I can add them a second drive all day long. But if I book off windows 10 To install to them windows says the drive is locked.
Any ideas?Last edited: Feb 13, 2017 -

I would refrain from using any chemicals on the coating finish. I always use a microfiber cleaning cloth that is very lightly dampened with water. It gets all he smudges off and doesn't eat away at the coating.

I secure erased both with partedmagic.
I used the downloaded dell .iso for windows attached to his service tag. I might try using an .iso straight from M$. Prob same end result, grasping at anything now.

Having received the MSI GT73VR is is painfully obvious how different these laptops are. The AW17 looks like serious business and like it could handle anything...only problem is that it can't. The GT73VR on the other hand isn't really as ugly IRL as I though but still...compared to the AW it looks like a toy. Until you start benchmarking that is, where it blows the AW17 out of the water.
Dell has offered yet another replacement, but based on previous attempts, I can't help but to think why should the get it right this time when they have failed all times before. Not really sure where to go from here..hmscott likes this. -
. Originally, I bought the KH body skin but it was so thin and cheap I went ahead and just used it as template to make this cut out. Looks even better in person

Hello all, embarking on a brand new 17 r4 7700hk gtx1070 with 4K display....Im very novice to all of the topics I see here but need some advice as to where to begin on updating this machine to current drivers, bios etc. When I go into the Alienware support assist utility it warns me that there is a new bios dated 2/11/17 that should be installed. I went in through that utility but cancelled out of it when a screen that showed the current bios to be 1.02 and showed the new version to be 1.06 as well as a warning that this was an unsupported system. On the Alienware support assist utility when i click on "drivers and downloads" area I'm taken to the dell support page which lists my service tag and express service code and on there it lists update Alienware_15R3_17R4_S1.0.9_K1.0.1.exe as the only bios update available. This leaves me apprehensive about making any changes to my machine until I get it sorted out with Alienware/Dell. My other concern is which order is best to perform updates....bios first then chipset, then drivers then applications is my gut feeling but I need perspective from the knowledge that lies here. Thanks for the time and perspective

Currious, has anyone actually reveived an AW17 that did not have the cpu temp problems? Obiously there are still faulty units being delivered, but are there any fixed units being delivered as well?

Thank you openglcg, I found myself wondering if that bios (1.09) is even for kaby lake and not skylake. However it does have the S1.09_K1.01 nomenclature so perhaps it is a dual purpose bios. Who knows....Not I...the thing that scared me is the fact that the installation took me one click away from installing a bios update that warns it is not supported. That is from the Alienware support assist utility loaded on my machine from Dell. Those are the only 2 bios updates I have come across so far. Makes me not trust the offering from the dell website or through the utility. Incidentally on the Dell support website there is discussion and guidance as to testing the thermal capabilities of our machines http://www.dell.com/Support/Article/us/en/19/SLN305033 I think it is evident that dell wants us to report our issues which is a good sign.
