Tks for your recommendation, I read everything that you did there and curious about the HS mod.
Besides, do you still selling a modded U3 cooler? ( with Noctua fan and I want to customize it a bit by using Noctua Redux lineup)
I owned 15r4 (i9-8950hk, 1080max q, max opt) and it served me 2 years so want to upgrade my laptop running cooler and faster.
I am currently pair it with the Graphic Amp (gtx 1080ti) so I can neglect the heat come from the internal GPU. The maximum CPU clock I can reach is 4.2 - 4.4 Ghz (with UV & TDP limit at 55-60W) but when I do the stress test only in CPU, the clock speed drop to 3Ghz and throttling like crazy, it is nearly impossible to maintain at 4 Ghz.
I did everything to solve that problem (repaste, fix the pad, clean the fan) but there is one thing that improve the performance is uninstall the Alienware application package and dell update. I noticed that without these apps my laptop running on the low load => decrease temp, stable clock speed.
Tks for reading and let me hear your thought.
