Alienware 17 i7 4710hq Turbo question

Hello

I just got a laptop Alienware 17. Specifications are:

i4710hq

gtx980m

16 gig RAM

Windows 8

1 tb + 128 SSD

My question is about the process of turbo and how its active or if I allow it. I have done a ton of research about this, but can't seem to find a solid answer.

. The i7 4710hq lies 2.4 Ghz (goes to 3.5 If Turbo).

. With the graphics of Alienware amplifier it automatically gets boosted at the coast of 3.5. I opted not to buy it because of the budget at the time.

. According to intels Internet, wiki and a few other tech forums, I've met. 4710hq i7 will stimulate automatically itself at or near the 3.5 as appropriate.

Under the BIOS settings he has shown to turbo whenever a graphics amplifier is connected and showed a specific set of options related to the graphicis amplifier. But it only shows the turbo for the amplifier of graphics options.

Just below those set of options mentions an option for overclocking of Intel processor on the route and it sees that it is . Do I need to activate this for in order for the Turbo to be active? Or is it something different entirely?

Thank you

From my experience, it should list differently.  There should be a selection to turn the Turbo Boost feature in the BIOS.  Here is the site for manuals online:

I didn't know that Turbo Boost listed anywhere in the BIOS setting in the section of the manual.  Who said to me that either A. Its automatic and you can't turn it off (thus it is not in the BIOS) or b. His disability is permanent unless you get the amplifier, but that would make no sense for me.  I hope that someone else might have a better answer?

  • Alienware 17 R3 graphics amplifier Question

    I have the latest Alienware 17 R3 with an i7-6820, 16 GB of RAM and GTX 980 M 8 GB GTX. Had this laptop about a month now

    My question is, is compatible with my laptop being 17 R3 amplifier because the website says just 17 R2 and it be worth to buy me one and put an office 980 m 4 GB in there. I see a massive difference in performance and the framerate to run games on ultra settings?

    To spend another £150 on an amplifier and then another £300 odd or so on a GTX I need to know is - this useful

    Hello

    The graphics of Alienware amplifier is certainly compatible with your Alienware 17 R3. The unit should have the port for her on the back, right next to the HDMI port.

    About the video card GTX 980, if compared with the GTX 980 m, which is the best you can get on the laptop, the GTX 980 is a better choice. If you wish, you can check the comparison between the two of them here.

  • Alienware Area 51 ALX difficult questions of car upgrade

    Hi all!  I have an area 51 alx from ~ 2010 with a card mother stock.  I'm looking to replace the disks accompanying with a Samsung 850 Evo SSD.  SSD SATA3 and I'm fairly certain that the parent stock on my machine has only SATA 2 correct slots?

  • Alienware m17x R4 Digital Out question

    For a long time, I had a problem with my digital output. I can't really 5.1 audio on my computer even when it is plugged into my audio receiver. I have the Sound Blaster Recon 3Di, but there is no option to set the DTS or the sound of doby. If I go to playback devices and click on properties, I test Dolby digital, and I hear all the speakers work. But the sound-blaster software does not work unless I chose to play stereo sound to the digital way. Can I get the front speakers. 5.1 selected with the sound-blaster software give me only the front speakers. It seems that it is only play stereo no matter what camera I have set for the sound, speakers, digital output or my TV.

    I guess that the sound blaster software has no opportunity to tell pilots to use 5.1 instead of stereo. I use Windows 8.1, but I think that it does the same thing, even when I was with Windows 7. In the channel mixer adjustment menu, it shows only 2 channels for the digital output. I wonder if it's a driver issue or a setting in windows that I need to fix. Any ideas?

    Hello. This section of the forum deals mainly with computers Dell laptops with Realtek, IDT and Conexant audio. Only the Alienwares have Creative sound cards, so I don't know much about what you can do with this hardware/software. There is a section called the Alienware Club. If you post here tell them that you posted already here while they just refer.

    Having said that, here's what I 'think' goes with your sound on what I know about the other Dell laptops. The Quick Installation Guide for your model of watch you have 3 Sockets audio, all capable of output to speakers when it is configured to do this. In other words, the mic socket can become an extra speaker output jack. This means that you should have the ability to setup your laptop for a 5.1 speaker system surround and attaching the cables of 3 speaker (of an analog 5.1 amplified speaker system) for the 3 Sockets (front, rear, Center / LF). You must have a source that has a surround sound, like a dvd movie. I don't know if your creation can simulate surround sound when the source itself is only stereo.

    On the s/pdif connection. S/pdif is a 2 channel protocol. When there are additional channels from a source that contains a sound surround, they are coded into the main stereo signal. The receiving device must be capable of decoding the surround channels and transmitting them to the speakers.

    When you use 3 analog computer Sockets, the computer performs the decoding, but when you use the s/pdif output computer does not because he would not be able to get additional channels decoded, as s/pdif carries only 2 channels. To the best of my knowledge, except for the selection of s/pdif to be the default playback device, there is no other software needed adjustment. Surround channels (if present in the source) will be included in the primary s/pdif signal and after that it is at the receiver. And if the source material does not contain the surround channels, then this is the receiving device to have the ability to simulate the if you want to hear through the other loudspeakers.

  • Droid Turbo could not connect the Cisco access point

    Greetings.

    Since the upgrade to a droid turbo, I was unable to connect to the network without wire of my work. I work in the it Department, but my experience with Cisco technologies and wireless is limited, so I tried to understand why. My previous bike x worked fine. We have a network of all the access points managed by a controller Cisco 4402 running version 7.0.98 of the BONES. I was able to connect to another wireless network that I could meet outside of work, and I am able to connect to the network of my work if I connect it is unsecured guest SSID. Only connections to our 4 secure networks fail. The controller reports that my phone cannot all simply to authenticate. The controller is configured for WPA2 / AES using a key 284 on the particular network, that I am trying to connect. I entered this key manually both via copy and paste. As far as my phone goes, I only tried to withdraw and time networks like tent to start it in safe mode without success. I read on various forums android that maybe it's a problem related to Kit Kat and this kind of problem has appeared on other handsets from other manufacturers, but nothing definite.

    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

  • Reboot Loop/No Boot - Alienware 17R3 - amplifier with Asus GTX 1080 Turbo graphics

    I have a new graphics card this week, a Turbo of Asus GTX 1080, but I have questions about the use with the amplifier of graphics.

    My laptop is a 17R3 of Alienware.

    The Board fits perfectly, there is only a single power connector and it is fastened to the GPU.

    When I connect the graphic amplifier and power the laptop it keep turning on/off as an infinite reboot cycle.

    Maybe this specific version of 1080 GTX (Asus GTX 1080 Turbo) is not compatible with the graphics amplifier?

    My previous video, a 980Ti ACX 2.0 EVGA card works just fine and if I plug this GPU to another computer also works.

    I do not think that associates the PSU of GA, but who knows?

    Everyone knows who? Has anyone tried this GPU with GA?

    Hi Chris!

    Well, I traded Turbo 1080 GTX from Asus to a 1080 GTX from MSI, and now everything works perfectly!

    So, I can confirm that the MSI GeForce 1080 Aero 8 G works perfectly with the AGM!

    Thanks for all your support.

    Kind regards

  • 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.

  • Finally saved enough money to buy the Alienware graphics amp and an AMD R290X but a Question?

    This card will fit into the amp of Alienware? http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814202145

    I've already ordered two and didn't realize until after if this particular R290X would hold or not. Also, I noticed this card supports 2 x 8 pin connectors the PSU has it?

    Hi S7N,.

    Ideally, the amplifier is designed to adapt to any of amd or nvidia graphics card - except the AMD Radeon R9 295 x 2. This is confirmed by digital trends - you can learn more about this link - http://bit.ly/1GScWtm

    According to our marketing site - it includes the use of R9 290 x - check the link - http://dell.to/1CdGVzl

  • 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?

  • (Redirected) A few questions about Alienware Alpha, didn't know where to ask sorry.

    Hi, I was watching and thinking about buying an alienware alpha, but I had a few 1 questions that I can't find any info on. So could someone please help.

    1st question and that is my main I need to know, can I run Ventrilo on it and play all the games at the same time or would I still need a laptop to use ventrilo to chat with friends?

    2nd video of question 1, I saw said that I could run non-steam game, is it true? I will mainly play steam games, but I want to just make sure I could still run games as League of legends and perhaps The Elder Scrolls online because he is going to play soon from what I've heard.

    3rd question and sorry about that one, but I don't know much about computers so I need to ask. I see that $700 and $850 versions have higher processors makes this mean for games? Also they have more big disks hard, it's just the space right storage? Sorry for this question, that I just want to ask before you buy

    Please any info on these 3 questions would be useful :) Thanks in advance.

  • the upgrade of my Alienware m18x r2 RAPIDS Questions

    Hello yall I have some quick questions. My system is a gtx win8 - 675 m i7-3630qm Alienware m18x r2.

    I read that the 3840qm and the 3920xm are very similar and the price level for the 3920xm is not worth for an upgrade if money is a problem.

    In this spirit I think to go with the 3840qm, I just need to make sure that I have not upgraded the heat sink or the power supply if you choose the 3840qm.

    the next question is I'm tempted with going with the 3920xm only if I don't have to upgrade the PSU and the radiator, so I have to upgrade the PSU and the radiator?

    last question is after I or until I update my cpu do I need to uninstall or install anything?

    You can use the same any CPU heatsink upgrade you.

    For the i7 3840QM that you don't need to upgrade to the power adapter, you should be fine if you have the 240W.

  • Small RAM upgrade question for Alienware Aurora R5

    Hello! Currently, I have an Alienware Aurora R5 with 2 x 4GB 2133 MHz RAM sticks and am really happy with it so far!

    But I would add another stick of 8GB 2133 MHz to bring it up to 16 GB, thing is, I'm not quite sure if I can simply another 8 GB stick fit into the slot XMM3 and make it work.

    partly because I couldn't find any documentation on what the latency of tensions/schedules/AR are on the 2 RAM sticks of 4 GB in the pc are currently, and I think as those that are important for the upgrade of ram,

    And because of this thing I found in the online manual for the R5

    Seems to say that there are only 5 configuration, I can have this set in stone or is it just that they tested?
