    Hello,
    As i'm in europe right know, Dell refuse to sell me parts because it's not compatible with my alienware or there are out of stock. :/
    I'm looking for a heatsink YP26V , i got 2 100W for m17x r3/r4 but they might be not compatible with the r5.
    So if someone know who to ask on ebay or someone else be able to ship in europe, i 'll be thanksfull :)

    I have also been looking for this exact part for my AW 17 since Q4 last year. Sadly, they have never been in stock at the sites mentioned by Porras, or even from Dell for that matter.

    How is it that a part from a laptop that was released less than 9 months ago is end of life and they won't sell them, especially since the AW 17's are still for sale and being manufactured? That part confuses me.

    Could not find on eBay or in the selling forum here so far. Anyone else have any advice?

    My last solution was to mod heatsink parts from aw r3/r4, it seem working good idle, i'm waiting my 240W AC parts to test Max temp with the gtx780m, i will let know on my thread heatsink mod :)
