    Hey guys...my m17x power brick died the other day. I am going on a trip tomorrow so I don't have time to order another...would it be ok to use the one from my m11x as a temporary replacement? It fits and it keeps it powered although it says its not charging. I just don't want anything to get messed up if I do some heavy gaming like an overload...what do you think?

    Edit sorry messed up the title I meant m11x

    It probably will keep it powered, throttlestop can help if it lock down the cpu multiplier (which cause crazy lag). Just dont game on it, it can overload the psu and force shutdown.
