Hey there lads,
I am having some trouble with my upgrade decision. Essentially I have thought that just like with desktops I will be able to easily upgrade my laptop... NOPE!
This laptop was rocking a 560M previously, however I have decided to strap a M290X to it. I did manage to get it working by updating to the latest Alienware unlocked BIOS and tweaking some settings.
My problems is that the GPU fan will not spin at all while the laptop is ON. Yes I can control it with a 3rd party software, however I prefer that the fans would work automatically as when you are not in Windows you are baking your laptop.
Any suggestion on what could be modified, tweaked and so on for this to work properly?
PS, if to be believed the M290X 4GB card is from a new Alienware 17 series laptop launched sometime in 2013.
Thank you for your time.
