    your can try sending steve a pm. He said that if anyone changed the compound because of the overheating that he would make sure u changed back with the right one and it wouldn't void the warranty.

    Well I will be receiving mine tomorrow. I think everyone who installed the BIOS have no problem so far unlike the previous BIOS where some few people still had a problem and then it turned out to be everyone. So far, Many people have done great tests, for me it looks solid.

    Alienware Australia called me this morning regarding the id card/binder/folder and the sleeve bag(mine was just a clear plastic bag) that contains the m15x .
    The sales person told me that all this packages are only available in US.

    And next the new bios update, it is still in trial run thus he wasn't able to confirm the new bios updated but he will send me a copy of the new bios when its available to them.

    yeah, everyone got that, but I'm glad they spent their time fixing the DC problem rather than working on getting me the hat
