    Windows 10 + Alienware Laptops (with NVIDIA cards) Screens Dying

    Had you taken time to inform yourself of the details instead of making assumptions you might actually add value to this thread. This problem is affecting solid machines with no display problems until Windows 10 is installed on an NVIDIA-powered platform. The display apparently has the EDID...

    NVIDIA Drivers Remove GPU Overclocking From Laptops With Maxwell Based GPUs?

    Awesome... glad they paid attention and are doing the right thing. I will give of doubt that it's not just lies to calm the crowd and believe it until they give us a reason to call them out for being liars. This is the closest thing we will see to an admission that they made a bad decision and I...

    LOL, selective reading issues? See below? I apologize if you were offended by the hyperbole. That wasn't my intent. I am happy that you are happy with your SFF. Life is good.

    Hmm, nice... pot is calling the kettle black, LOL. Apparently, you think being a dick is a one-way street. If you actually look at the posts in response to my comments with an open mind you will see that is inaccurate. In fact, the only entity I have acted like a dick toward is NVIDIA for...

    Actually, every day I prove the exact opposite to be true. The problem is the flawed mentality that they shouldn't be overclocked. Thanks for proving the point with that response, LOL. Awesome timing, too. Good job on missing the opportunity to demonstrate that the problem does not apply to you...

    Now, now, no need to be overly sensitive. This is what is known as hyperbole. Certainly not everyone that likes wimpy machines is a wimp. The intent is to drive a point and cause people to think and pay attention to the big picture, not to get anyone wound up or defensive. I have no problem with...

    With all of the Chicken Little sky-is-falling idiots focusing on "green" (not NVIDIA green) because the world is going to stop turning and the corner cutting in the name of "efficiency" this may be a sad glimpse into our future. Hopefully, it won't turn out as pathetic as they would like it to...

    One example of what OEMs are doing to limit overclocking further negates any concern on NVIDIA's part. Some are using inadequate AC adapters. As soon as you start overclocking and the power draw exceeds the capacity of the power source, they simply shut off. They don't have an opportunity to get...

    Sorry, noobs here don't have any post edit button (at least not one that I can see). I meant "FRIED" not "friend" LOL.

    NVIDIA Drivers Remove GPU Overclocking From Laptops With Maxwell Based GPUs?

    In all my years of overclocking high-end laptops with unlocked CPUs, modded system BIOS and MXM cards with modded vBIOS I have never, ever, not even once seen a "friend laptop" from overclocking. I push these systems way beyond anything contemplated, including using a mod with dual 330W AC...

    NVIDIA Drivers Remove GPU Overclocking From Laptops With Maxwell Based GPUs?

    @J3RK - your comments are logical, and yes, NVIDIA's customers are the OEMs and not end users. NVIDIA has never cared about end users, and now is no exception. The only thing I would add is they need to care about their reputation. If they were taking the right approach they would give...

    NVIDIA Drivers Remove GPU Overclocking From Laptops With Maxwell Based GPUs?

    Why did I post? My goodness, what a dense fellow. If it is not already obvious, for the same reasons everyone else is posting against it. NVIDIA, like many large corporations, only responds to bad publicity and loss of revenue as a result of bad business decisions. Their motivations are not...

    For NVIDIA to carte blanche blanche block overclocking for all machine is messed up and unethical. To your point, I have huge, expensive, desktop performance laptops. I am incensed by NVIDIA's underhanded and overreaching actions that unilaterally strip me of my property ownership rights. Their...

    Uppity? OK, whatever, LOL. ;) Primarily, for the same reasons you posted your opinion in rebuttal to my comments. That's what people in forums do. Being new to this forum doesn't categorize my engagement uppity any more than someone that has been cruising these threads for years. Nor does it...

    Let's be clear about some things: (1) NDA means NDA, so that's the end of that discussion (2) I am under no compulsion to support my comments... this is the internet (3) I absolutely do not care if who agrees or disagrees with my statements... this is the internet (4) Idiots that can break...
