    Hey gang

    I'm in middle of potential selling my current 6990m, and would like to know a few things before making the sale. I own the p150hm, and the specs are in my signature.

    First, has anyone put alienware gpu/CPU in their Clevos before and willing to share their feedback? I'd like to know mainly if performance was up to standards on the card, as well as any vbios you had to flash, etc.

    Second, does anyone know for sure if 5870m is compatible in p150hm? My first instinct is that yes, so long as it fits. But I can't be sure. I don't want to downgrade to this card and also have it not work 100%. I'll contact MALIBAL to be sure if no one has thoughts.

    Lastly, if any owner of p1x0em with enduro issues is willing to part ways with their 7970m, please pm me. No certainties but I might be in the market :)

    Thanks for your feedback.

    Tommy

    Haha it is weird lol. Someone had interest in buying my 6990m, and I could really use the money. I'm kinda sad about have to downgrade to 5870m, but if it nets me ok money I might do it. 7970m probably won't happen, but if someone doesn't want theirs and the price is reasonable I might be able to get it as a Christmas gift :)

    It fails, the fans spin max, you get warning beeps and then the system shuts off a few seconds in.
