It is these benchmark tests reviwers in reviw pages use when considering the performance and cooling system on a laptop they tests. I have the M17xr2 and I know what it's like to be lagging due to heat issue. I haven't seen any fps drop or issue with it. I normally have the laptop on for more than 10 hrs a day and usually play games on it most of the time. I'm not too sure why those test result matter, what i'm concern with is the fact that it run well and I don't have issue while gaming. Check this out first before you can give a hypothesis. All such laptops shall conduct such tests. Start with Wprime 1024 (8 threads), Cinebench 11.5 and Prime95.

I don't have any issue related to heat on my Alienware 18 running the normal configuration.ĭo as I have said to you earlier: Run tests of your Alienware 18. the only problem they have this issue is when they OC the system? So therefor they should already have prior experience about changing the fan speed? I'm not familiar with these issue, but correct me if i'm wrong.

Why are we forced to / have to use another software to get the fans to operate as they should? This has been a big topic since these Alienware Laptop Launched and we buy this laptop's. Begin to doubt about Dell ever manage and fix the problem. There are over 1.5 years now since Dell launched these Alienware models and even does not Dell managed to fix the fan profile issue. We require that Dell fixes bios / Ec so that the fan profile on our Alienware 17R1 Ranger and Alienware 18 Viking works as they should. Dell forcing us to use Hwinfo since Dell fails to fix a working fan profile to these Alienware Laptop. This with use of HWINFO64 have we learned a long time ago. You cannot control them individually in these profiles, only all at once.Īgain, I do caution care as you decide to change the fan settings. From there, you should be able to manipulate the fan speeds as you need. Click this icon to access the Fan Control.Ĥ. On machines supported by fan control, a fan icon is displayed at the bottom of the sensors window. Download the latest build of HWiNFO32 or HWiNFO64ģ. Please ensure that you are using BIOS A10 before going through with the following steps.ġ. We highly recommend you do not go down this path without prior knowledge of fan control use as improper fan manipulation beyond the default parameters we have set can cause issues to your system that may not be covered under the system warranty. Do note: We DO NOT endorse the use of HWiNFO32/64.

We've enabled a means for you to go ahead and do so. Some of you have been asking for control over your fans and a means to manage profiles for them on the Alienware 18.
