    GPU temp not a big improvement compare to mine same OC settings, but the CPU is very nice mine OC1 hits 92 max.
    Looks like I need to plan an evening for repaste.

    Thank you for sharing.

    What thermal paste are you using?

    I'll be repasting my 17R3 in a few days with Grizzly Kryonaut.....well and/or GeLid Extreme as I have both. From what I've seen tested along with my own findings, those two always come out the best for non-metal solutions...of course Cool Labs Liquid Pro / Ultra is better, but not really comfortable with that in a laptop environment.

    I used Grizzly on my GS60 and was very pleased so I will use it on the Alienware as well.

    nice thermals there, while I'm here with a throttling R1, freakin dell doesn't want to give me a R2, its my second replacement laptop, even with a refurb mobo, I feel so bad seeing skylake users have no throttle.. when I'm struggling to get a proper answer from dell..

    i used the Arctic MX-4 because its non-electroconductive. its my first repaste, and would hate to accidentally get some of that stuff on the board and short it out.
