It seems Alienware has heard the cries from owners of their pimped out 15″ gaming laptop, the M15x. We reported on the overheating and cracking issues last week. Already, Alienware has pushed out a fix.
You’ll have to email Alienware to get the new beta Bios release, X29b P3A30. You can shoot them a line at area51_m15x@alienware.com and ask for a copy, since this is a beta release. A full public version should be available shortly.
The new bios allows the GPU fan to spin up to 5400rpm to give better cooling. Your laptop might get a bit louder, but it’s not going to overheat and downclock your graphics card anymore.
