Alienware 17 fan question

Hello! I bought an Alienware 17 and had yesterday. I am extremely satisfied! I love this system! Although one must get used to the new user of Windows 8 interface, I really like my time using the Alienware. However, I have a question about fans...

While using the laptop for heavy tasks, I think air broadcast by the fan on the left and not the right because I spent $3,000 on this laptop, I want to make sure everything is in good working condition. I was wondering if this is normal or if it is a malfunction of my hardware. I have not yet garguillo on this for more than ten minutes directly, but still when the left fan is turned on, the right is not. I didn't know the good fan fan the air once again yet! So I was wondering if the right fan turns on automatically after there is a certain amount of load on the processors or if it is a real problem.

Please answer quickly please!

Here is my solution. Read all about it.

In my opinion, Alienware laptop computers are skewed when it comes to their fan profiles. It's just like that, I'm afraid, but there is a way around. Like you, I bought my laptop (M17x-R4) fans has worked, kicking in full power when I played the games. But now they have not. Who knows why. But in any case, the solution is to download speedfan NOT fan control software. Download Hwinfo. The updated link here.

Then you can control two fans at the same time (you can't control them separately). I'm able to put my fans at 5000 RPM. First, you open the program, click "sensors", and then at the bottom are a small fan icon. Click and you can control your fans. Choose a speed, then click the 'manual' button that will set the speed. If you want to return to normal, click «auto system»

Now, here's the problem. It all seems too good and easy, well it's because theres more than that. some laptops like mine, stops when you play a game and the fans are controlled by this program. but there is a difficulty. You must go to 'program' then 'settings' in the 'security' tab you uncheck the box 'Support' and then you have no more accidents. But what makes Community aid, it allows you to change auto manual system fans. when its not checked, you can not pass, then set the manual speed first, then uncheck THIS support and're you good to go. If you want to restore auto system, check the Community aid, and then select auto system again.

That's all! Fixed. Now, you need to be wary of your temperatures, if I put my fans too weak such as 3000 or same 4400 my CPU was running hot enough, but this average time for me are usually in the 90s when you're stressed anyway.

  • Export of Alienware CPU Fan

    Dear community Alienware

    Intro:

    Four days ago the fateful date were to occur, my 5 year system, bitten the dust, quite literately... dust so hidden in this case. So I got a new motherboard and a new case since there was unfortunately no more.

    So I wanted to save all even remotely from my old pc, as a souvenir, and since I don't see the point of throwing things that work.

    Question:

    How can I export my alienware cpu to my new system. Unfortunately the cpu pump seems to be a 'special' alienware, and I can't seem to know all decent positions if it's important or not. Or how to reconnect somehow. my current fan is the basic intel cpu fan you get for free and it is quite wrong to say the least.

    Other data:

    All parties except for the motherboard are always available.

    New motherboard is the: msi z97Gaming 3 (yes I know, 3rd world country I am living, not really any decent other options)

    available heatpaste, the fan fits after a few changes of detail. (to the metal ring, I didn't touch the fan itself)

    at the end:


    Thanks in advance for any response, even if it's a soul crushing "he died mate, let her rest."

    Best regards, darkminaz

    You cannot use your alien-cooler, unless you cut the 7 pin connector, cut the wire, tie / crimp on 3 new terminals & insert correctly into a new connector for fan 3 pins:

    online stores pc etc.

    If you cannot do this, or someone do it for you, sell your cooler, buy a new cooler liqwid, Corsair, Antec Zalman, what you prefer. Donate your old stop, recycle, pass it as a gift or sell online, selling yard, colleague, etc.

    Your cpu is not a 1150, so it cannot go into the Z97. Sell everything you can to help him to pay the new rig...

  • El Capitan 10.11.4 gel/Fans questions.

    Hello everyone, first I apologize in advance for my English because it is not my first language.

    I have a new MacBook Pro retina 13 "early 2015.

    For the last 5 months, I had the OSX El Capitan 11.10.3, who came out of the box with the computer. And it has always worked perfectly.
    In the last 5 months the mac never gave me any kind of questions!
    I mainly use the computer for listening music, browsing, chatting or writing texts (using base really anything heavy)

    U - unfortunately , I have to say, a couple of days ago on the App Store, I noticed a new version of update to OSX "11.10.4" and I decided to upgrade.
    Well, after a few hours, that I've upgraded to the new version my mac started having several issues.
    All first of all Fans. Without any reason after 1 or 2 hours after the upgrade (I was just looking the open web to 2 pages in safari, especially facebook and youtube)
    Fans have started to run really crazy and loud for 3 to 4 minutes... so strong that I thought that the computer was a blast and I closed all applications and waited for slow racing fans. The aluminium of the mac was not warm to the touch... Room temperature.
    This problem happened only the first day, I upgraded. But to be honest I sometimes feel the fans that sometimes short fast and loud without no reason.

    Last but not the least... GEL! Strangely also this problem showed the same day I upgraded my macbook pro to the 11.10.4 version and this happened to me about 5 times now! and it becomes a nightmare!
    When you use the mac computer just freeze the screen (mouse is stuck without the wheel is completely freeze) and after 4/5 seconds the screen is blocked as the work stoppage trackpad haptic vibration. I tried to let the mac like that for about 10 minutes, but nothing... only a hard reset can fix this...

    The last time that happened about an hour ago, and that's why I'm here...

    I already tried to start the computer with CMD + D to Apple diagnosis and check the hardware, but it is quite well show a message "No problems found" ADP000.

    Looking at the console I saw some strange messages, but as I am not a technician I don't know what kind of problem is...

    Anyone of you knows the problems on their macs?

    First of all: you ElCapitan, but have made typos in numbers: 10.11.3 was on it and 10.11.4 is now on it (I've made the same typo always).

    Your question may be due to Spotlight indexing, but I'm not sure.

    I propose to stop the mac and

    Then start while now the keys CMD + R: it starts slowly in the recovery Partition called. Choose "install OS" in the menu: it will install OSX on what is in the mac, it leaves your only user data. You must have a consistent internet connection, because the OS is downloaded again. So it takes time, be prepared for it. After that, the mac restarts and installs. Supposed to be all "fallen"bits"are corrected.

  • HP Pavilion g6-1200tx air winds (fan) questions

    laptop: HP Pavilion g6-1200TX

    Product number: QG468PA #ACJ

    operating system: Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit

    Mr President

    winds (fan) to air my laptop don't work properly and became quite noisy.

    This has led to very poor game performance. Earlier (6 or 7 months ago) while playing games (NFS THE RUN), the fan worked with great speed and therefore keep the laptop in a cool and also giving pretty good framerate between (18-25).

    But when I play now the fan remains completely rotate with very less speed and heat the laptop as radically. As a result the droped framerate (8-12). Even FULL HD videos run quite poorely.

    I spend loads of time to update all components (BIOS, chipset graphic everything), but it does not solve this problem.

    also, I restored my laptop and updated every thing, but again the rest of the question.

    I thing I should have my fan cleaned or replaced.

    Pls inform me of the cost for cleaning of the fan and also replacing the fan.

    I bought my laptop on October 25, 2011. Noida, Delhi, India.

  • Alienware 15 fan

    Just set up my new Alienware 15.  He sat for 90 minutes so I did the setup, downloaded the software, etc.  I have not noticed the fan turning and the base feels hot.  Is this unusual?  How many 'time' before the fan comes in?

    install the BIOS A00 to reduce heat and don't worry if the base feels hot, it's because the PCH is in this area

    It is a pch file, looks like a CPU.

    HWmonitor lets look at the time of your laptop. Don't worry if do not pick it up over 85 ° c.

  • Alienware R4 upgrade question

    Hi, I currently have a R4 Alienware with a block of POWER 875 w.  It currently houses 2 Nvidia® Geforce 780 GTX cards in SLI configuration.

    I'm willing to spend to a configuration of the Nvidia GeForce GTX SLI 980 instead and had a few quick questions if there are experts out there.

    (1) this power supply will be sufficient for the upgrade?

    (2) according to the card, I noticed my existing cards use 1 x 8 and 1 x 6-pin PCI-e power connectors for.  The new maps I was looking for to use 2 x 8 pins.  I'd be able to simply buy 2 x 6-pin to 8 pin adapters to compensate for this, or are there other aspects?

    (3) I'd be too worried about the new cards not being is not able to adapt?  I know that Dell configurations are usually the owners so I was worried if they voluntarily limit the size of the box to allow only a very limited number of the upgrade.

    Thank you very much!

    1. Yes.

    2. If you have not enough 8 pins, you can get a 6 pin adapter 8 pin or get a 8 pin cable. So roughly, adapters should work.

    3 depends on how long are the GPU. Double of the 780s GTX déparerait here, so I don't see why the years 980 double cannot.

    You can bind us what GPU you are wanting to get?

  • Economic construction - RAID and Fans Questions

    I am considering the following construction to an editing room (badly used as reference guide). I don't know how many fans, if necessary, I have to buy. The case comes with 4 x 140 mm fans, and I don't mean to overclock the CPU immediately, but plans of OC'ing to 4.4 GHz in the near future.

    Also, would a RAID 0 configuration agree with 4 hard drives? The disc only I'd be willing to lose risk would be the drive of files/export output. So, any combination of table 2 disk could lead to catastrophic data loss. 'Economic version' of harm recommends raid 0 for a 5 hard drive configuration, so it seems that 5 hard drives is a sine qua non for RAID 0. Any comments would be helpful I have realized recently that you can do with RAID configurations. Thanks in advance.

    I'm not familiar with the case and do not know the air flow. If you are worried about the time, you can consider a larger case allowing a better air circulation. If you selected now is not very wide, so adding the fans on the side can be difficult due to the height of the fans and the height of the video card. The case has it air balanced, positive or negative? Dust filters are used on suction fans? There are so many questions, which make impossible the respondent.

    When you have generated your system, measure the different temperatures at stock speed. If they are acceptable, even under a load of stress, it shows that the coolant is OK. Now overclock and do the same test. If temperatures rise to say more than 10 degrees C, then you have additional fans and you have to study the airflow more closely.

  • Alienware 14, fan only runs on start & everything seems to be fine

    I just upgraded the i5 CPU 4200 m to i7-4700mq myself. It starts fine, but after about 10 min running windows I noticed that the fan does not turn.

    I restarted to check and noticed only towers for about half a second to start, stops completely when it reaches the bios menu at the head of alien.

    Then I turned it off and start looking for solutions, won't damage the CPU...

    What seems to be the problem?

    Hello!

    HWmonitor allows to control the fan and CPU temperatures. Try to re - install the control centre Alienware and updated to latest BIOS A09.

    If the problem persists, run an ePSA Diagnostics to check for hardware errors.

  • HP laptop OMEN 15 J9K19UA: HP Omen Fan questions

    A week ago I got a Windows 10 update and a few utilities HP, so I've updated everything and now the fans Act really strange. They go to their maximum speed and then slow way and then go all the way back to the top again, this repeats several times as long, I use the laptop. I checked for the current process and nothing seems out of the ordinary. I tried to play with the speed of the fan through the control of Omen, but appears not to be able to lower the fan speed.

    So it turns out that it was the HP System Event Utility, I uninstalled and installed a legacy version and fixed it. I'm not sure what the update was, but he made sure I control is any more fans through the control of omen. Well, my computer still works very well, and I'm happy.

  • Pavilion fan questions after replacing fans.

    I have a 4 years, HP Pavilion Elite m9500y equipped of Windows Vista. I had received messages from 'system fan failure' on startup from time to time and had heard loud grinding noises still occasionally. I changed the power supply and a video card, and none has solved the problem. Lately, computer work really slowly and the CPU temperature was more than 100 degrees Celsius only at startup.

    I replaced the cpu fan and case fan today and have encountered a new problem - when I hit the power button, the computer starts up, I see both fans run for about 10 seconds, and then they stop. The CPU fan first, then the case fan. Then, I get an error message saying the CPU fan has failed and the computer turns off. It is possible that I installed the fans back. Does anyone know the correct orientation or have pictures? Anything else may have caused the problems?

    skidlz,

    54sec at 01:17 minutes this video shows the CPU fan and the orientation of the blade. In regards to the rear case fan, fan shroud has an arrow showing the flow. The fan is a fan, so he blows on the back.

  • Satellite Pro L450-180 fan question - question

    Hello

    I recently bought this model

    It works well, there is something strange with the cooling fan:
    with win 7, using performance battery fan mode turns on every 2-3 minutes, runs for 10 second Athens, he died.
    This happens even at low temperatures
    heasink seems to work very well since cpu stress test does not exceed 53 degrees after 1 h.

    After that, I worked on power profiles (even with toshiba advanced cooler option on the minimum)
    with the help of power saving mode it works a bit slower but every 5 minutes... This seems quite often.

    Is this normal with this model
    I got l300 and wasn't working so frequently.

    Pls me know if normal or not.

    THX and BR.
    Exonex

    I agree with you on L300. Of my friends has this model laptop and we changed the method to the minimum level of cooling and cooling fan runs quiet and not so often. Unfortunately, more than that can be done.

    Akuma is also right. Each laptop model has clean and different cooling system and to compare it with other models is not so relevant.
    I recommend you to use the power plan balanced with the minimum level of cooling method. That's all I can say about it.

Maybe you are looking for
