    Hmm, i guess no one knows the answer........I ask because on my M17X R4 i have problems with chrashing while playing Overwatch........My M18X works flawless but my M17X chrashes often and its very annoying, and it feels like when it first starts to chrash it get worse, so i have heat issues as a suspect, but both GPU and CPU maintain stability under stresstest......... I should add that i have the GTX 780M OC VBIOS from Techinferno on my GPU.

    did you upgrade your CPU fan to one of those from m14x ? OEM m17xr4 fan is rated @ ~3cfm only, m14x fan is rated @10.8cfm and it fits perfect with least modification. also , if youve already done the fan mod, had you looked at liquid Ultra cooling compound?

    I remember had my m17xr4 and my temps were stable, under 90c on load and not even on liquidultra.
