Did the Alienware one die on you? If not you are trading down.

The Alienware one keeps over heating. I've repasted twice, checked and cleaned the fan, looked at a bios upgrade for the laptop, tried to adjust fan settings and voltage but it's still over heating even when clocked down from 500MHz to 300MHz. I'm assuming it's faulty GPU. I don't mind downgrading.

So will this one work?
