• Profile of Alienware Area - 51 ALX Intel XMP A10 does not work with DDR3 1600 MHz

  I bought three Kingston 8 GB RAM DDR3 1600 MHz 240 pin DIMM that totals up to 24 GB of RAM and install in my desktop computer. When I turned on and the message appeared saying:

  Maternal health and infant is running with DDR3 - 1333 MHz

  WARNING! Previous overclocking failed, and system restore its default value. Press F1 to continue, F2 to enter Setup Menu

  When I access the BIOS setting (version A10), I disabled XMP and then it went through fine after the reboot. However, I have to have XMP allow at any time? How can configure profile 1333 MHz to 1600 MHz XMP?

  What bothers me is that I had three former PIN of Kingston 4 GB RAM DDR3 1600 MHz 240 DIMM which total up to 12 GB of RAM and the XMP worked very well with them before they were 1600 MHz.

  The type of computer I have is:

  Alienware Area-51 ALX

  Intel Core i7 980 Extreme 6 c with 12 MB of Cache

  Windows 7 Ultimate

  Please, help me to solve this problem. Thank you.

  And I certainly don't have the answer, but I'll remember these points:

  1. I think that you can set manually nothing XMP adjustable (but with more control).

  2 machines often memory need to be slowed down when you are near maximum capacity look maintenance manuals.

  3 area-51 has never been tested or even allow the 8 GB DIMMs. You are in the new territories.

  4. If you really need 24 GB (and it works at 1333) then the 267 speed drop is insignificant.

• Alienware Area 51 (ALX)

  Hello

  I have an Alienware Area 51. I think that's not the ALX, but I'm not sure. I have a few questions:

  1. the Dell website does not recognize my service tag when I he returned in product support, my tag is the NOTE from the ADMIN: maintain the label removed according to the rules of confidentiality > (generated by the system Dell detects)

  2. I think that my collar closed not automatic, but how can I be sure? I see that somewhere?

  3. the active ventilation does not work correctly. 2 fins are not going up, they get stuck after one or 2 centimeters. They go down in the normal way. How can I fix?

  Thanks in advance

  Remove the two side panel access doors. Remove your signs of topping top skinny black acrylic finish on both sides of the case so you can access to the fins, their hinges and screws. When you turn on, look to see what makes your 2 flippers paste. If you need to, "help" take off. Command center can open, active evacuation, have CC open the fins and close once or twice. Do test for bonding. Usually, it comes down to the torque of the screw end, or the torque of the screws of the trim panel. Unless of course you can see what is the cause of bind, as an obstacle.

  You can try back a little torque on the screws of the fin on the 2 fins that stick. Reinstall the screws to the appropriate if - couple when they return to normal. Retest w/Command Center, open/closed. If everything is fine, reinsert the finishing trim panels and reinstall the screws, but not too tight just yet. Repeat the test with the command center to open the closed fins. Usually, the screws from trim to finishing nearest you for what purpose clings is the culprit, then tighten or loosen based on the question whether one of these tips have helped. As long as the finishing pad screw is almost tight, it will keep the filling and not make the stick of fin...

  Basically, remove your doors case, remove the upper trim, power and go from there...

• Upgrade options card Alienware Area 51 ALX graphics

  I searched through the forums in vain for what I hope it's a simple question.

  I have a 4 years, Area 51 ALX with dual AMD 6990 cards installed. However, AMD does not support these one more and the last set of drivers that they issued are not compatible with most of my games on Steam.

  So - I'm looking to replace those with newer nVidias.

  But - that are comaptible?

  Hello

  You can upgrade to GTX1060, 1070, 1080, Titan X PASCAL, among others; and since for the performance of dual AMD 6990 you should already have the 1200W PSU.

• Area 51 alx overclocking questions

  I am very inexperienced when it comes to playing with the clocks of computers.  I practically didn't know about settings, the dangers or benefits.  I checked on this post

  en.Community.Dell.com/.../19310782

  and he had a bunch of useful info, unless I have i7 990 x, which is missing from this post.  If I want to get the most out of my processor, what settings OC should I use, and should I be tweaking these settings by using the start menu?

  As I said before, I know very little when it comes to overclocking.  I can understand things, but I don't yet have a foot.  Any advice is welcome.  Thank you in advance for your help!

  OC takes place in the Bios. Guide to memory here: Memory specifications Alienware desktop PC > 990 x was not offered, Aurora & A51 are similar, so you could browse around & see what others have suggested: overclocking 980 x ><>overclocking 960 ><>920 overclocking ... a similar search might be "overclocking". The easiest way is to get into the Bios & OC select level 1, 2 or 3 * etc (* when it is available); This is the predefined values apparently integrated. Below to find a copy of a page that existed, published by the Dell Knowledge Base. 990 x is $ 300 + used, take care of yours.

• (Redirected) Help w / Alienware area 51 desktop computer - no post after upgrading to 10

  Hey people,

  I wasn't sure if this was the place to post, thought I would give it a shot.

  My alienware 900 mouse seemed to be working/not working.  I've updated the drivers from support.Dell.com and no help.  I then went to the driver download section.  I already had the A10 bios.  but the version on the site of Dell, said that bios A10 was updated in may 2016, so I thought I would try to update the bios.

  I got the bio "completed successfully" to update and then restarted my computer by guest.  Since then, the computer won't post.

  My steps of troubleshooting so far:

  -disconnected the supply, held down the power for 30 seconds button

  -reset the cmos battery

  -lit, tried to hit f12 repeatedly

  -lit, tried to hit F2 repeatedly.

  Still no luck.  I'm out of Warrarty on this unit.   I called Dell, has transferred 5 x, finally they me transferred to spare parts and a card mother refurb replacement is $351... That's a lot for a 5 years old machine.

  so... (1) any chance there is a troubleshooting step to do, I have not tried?   I don't know how to reset the EProm

  (2) replacements less expensive motherboard out there?  too many choices on ebay to find out which. I have the service tag #, but who can not tell the motherboard there is part number.

  (3) is there an appeal from Dell - as was the update of the Bios A10 somehow stopped my work computer.  its an expensive system and I'm regretting upgrading the Bios.

  Hoping to get suggestions.

  Thank you.

• Restoring a area 51 ALX to its former glory.

  Well later I picked up a little uncommon Area-51 ALX chassis. It had been hacked on way more and I knew before I bought it.

  Ive got most of them back together and have to other desktops Alienware helped in this area.

I looked through the user's guide and service manual and do not see anything that stands out who said what is the order. does anyone know what order they came from the factory?

  something else that I can't find a MIO to fan control cable. It seems to be elusive. Anyone know where I can get one to?

  

  Good evening. I don't have the time I can devote to see your start to finish to its former glory. Can I chip - in a pointer or two only. I'm familiar with this computer, but cannot make the connection between the words: MIO to fan control cable & whatever it is you have in mind you are looking to aqwire.

• (Redirected) Speakers with an Alienware Area 51

  I had crazy computer problems lately. A few friends put in place a computer for me and there were a lot of problems that I won't detail here, but it culminated with the motherboard is fried when I plugged in the speakers.  I finally gave up with home-built computer and ordered an Alienware Area 51 with a 1500w power supply. However, I am relics afraid to connect the speakers for fear of frying another card mother, though everyone tells me that what has happened is a stroke of luck and the other motherboard was faulty.  Right now I use a computer + 7 years, I had in the closet and the speakers work fine with it, and they also worked in my old computer, which was also an Alienware. My question is, is it possible that the speakers might be 'too powerful' or 'too high a power' to work on the computer that is on the right track? The speakers say they are 120-240 v, but I don't know how powerful they are. My future computer has a 1500w PSU and two GTX 970 graphics cards, but it seems that there should be a lot of power for speakers. Am I paranoid? Has anyone had the motherboard is fried by plugging in speakers?

• Alienware Area 51 Microphone input

  Hello

  My Alienware Area 51, I ordered a few weeks ago only arrived. Now, I can't find a microphone into the Jack on the back of the computer. On Alienware website, he said that the computer must have such a plug on the back, but when I look in the manual, it says that there is one on the front. How can I get analog 5.1 surround sound to work when this socket at the front and the rest of the catch (as rear, subwoofer, etc.) are located on the back (my helmet is Razer Tiamat 7.1). I have to buy an external microphone?

  My second question is if the Alienware Area 51 supports 7.1 analog or if I need to buy a USB headset. I have two NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan Z in my computer so I can not insert my card its Asus Phoebus. How can I get 7.1 to work? If the computer does not support this, what 7.1 surround USB headset (fake) sound would you recommend?

  I really appreciate any help you can provide.

  Yes, it's weird but whatever...

  Looks like you just have a 1/8 "extension to bring the front mic jack of the back.

  These days, multichannel sound is usually via HDMI (as with an APR in a home theater) or via the port a USB headphones game (using the chip capable digital surround the headset). For USB, Logitech and Plantronics are good.

• Asus Rampage Extreme on Alienware Area 51 v

  I want to buy a motherboard Asus Rampage V extreme, the question is, can the motherboard fit in Alienware Area 51? because V of Rampage Extreme is E - ATX.

  Thank you!

  ' ATX = 12 x 9.6 >< e-atx="12" x="" 10.7="" --=""> about 1.1 ' wider

  your stock mthrbrd is set on a mthrbrd platter (tempan), brand new mthrbrd will have to fixed tray to even, holes (spacers) will have to align. No matter what tray spreaders who don't align must not be isolated. "By the look of it, you would lose your black cable Organizer, should be two new holes in the status bar, moved more 1.1" etc. (industrial velcro, so no access to a forest of w/metal as a temporary solution). Your best bet is to buy your new MB from a source who will accept returns, in which case e - atx is unable to mate with your bin to mthrbrd, or available wall space.

  you need to find an e - atx vs atx Visual model that shows the mounting screws/holes, see if they line up basically. My Nzxt Phantom 820 is a ultra-tour, larger than Area51, he accepts e - atx & xl - atx, but I have to take my mthrbrd to see if the holes match my Asus atx Board in there, I'm sorry, I can't help with this answer, if the holes match; from memory, they do well (?). Keep looking online for a visual aspect to mounting e - atx atx vs relative to each other, you can even make a comparison from the view of atx Asus and cards cards e - atx looking for mounting holes - for me, it seems that the holes of the Rampage corresponding atx & Council simply "straddles" a thumb

  

  Council e - atx mount holes need to coincide w/tempan; those who do not need to be isolated from the MB. Where the edge of this stock mthrbrd dies at the level of the external right screw holes, Rampage just seems to scoot an inch more. Cable organizer needs came up, moved to the right an inch.
