Alienware 14 first impressions

Hi guys, thought it could be use of someone to know that:

the machine is a little beast. Didn't actually expect it to perform so well. My subwoofer works, actually everything work as intended. I've updated bios to A04 and installed latest 326.80beta, the machine runs surprisingly cool, i keep it over a coolermaster U2 modified with 3 fans from an U3. The GPU i manage to overclock it up to 1032core 1300mem stable. temperature nevere exceded the 66 degrees but usually they are up to 61c° on the GPU. The cpu i keep it 34/34/35/36 with -75mv undervolted.

got almost P4700 in 3Dmark11 and passed 18k in vantage. I'm impressed.

I've a huge steam gallery, so far i've installed and played the whole day yesterday Crysis3 , Bioshock Infinite, Far Cry 3, COD BO2, Mass Effect 3, Battlefield 3, deadspace 3, need for speed the run, Borderland 2, Dirt3, Hitman Absolution, Max payne 3, Red faction Armageddon, The darkness 2, Skyrim, Tombraider, Metro last light, splinter cell black list, torchlight 2. The machine blazed through all of them, i'm really impressed by how it handle metro last light.

I believe i've found the perfect machine for my needs. It is portable, and powerfull.

Ah i did some test. Lowering resolution (1600x900 or 1366x768) doesn't distort the immage, you almost can't tell the difference, i believe is the high pixell density in a so small screen. By the way my screen is LG.

 

Thanks for sharing your insights about the machine. I'm glad it performs better than you expected!

 

Thanks!



here some benchmark run yesterday, not that bad
