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...

  • 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 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? My question is what can I do so that I'm not headed by the limit of 300 MB/s, which comes with 2 SATA?  What are my options?  I am currently struggling to get CC working in another thread on this forum (can be a hardware problem) and so a card mother update isn't out of the question.

    I've added a section at the bottom of this post. Hope that helps or who gets at least help you get started in the right direction.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Problem updating display on Alienware Area-51 m15X Vista drivers

    Hello. Recently, I had a virus on my Alienware Area-51 m15X. It finally did my restore my computer to its factory site. Most of the drivers was missing. I reinstalled my wireless card driver and the graphics driver, but the graphics driver does not work correctly. I uninstalled and went on the Web from NVIDIA site to reinstall the appropriate driver, and it still doesn't work right. I used Driver Sweeper to clean all the files on my HARD drive that are associated with the NVIDIA device in safe mode. I reinstalled all the and restarted my computer and I still get the error message. I can't send it because it is not under the manufacturer's warranty, and I have little money to send it to Best Buy Geek Squad. Please, if there is a way to solve this problem, even though it requires the formatting of my HARD drive, I'll be ready to do so.

    I solved the problem. For future use, if you own an Alienware or use the NVIDIA 8600 M GT card, uninstall the driver using Device Manager and use the driver Sweeper to remove all traces of the driver. Once this done, do not restart, but go on the alienware website and download the NVIDIA driver (you must know your operating system, ect. ect. for the driver) and install it. Windows will say that his signature is unreadable. Click on install anyway. reboot and your laptop must be as new :D

    Hello

    Sorry for my bad English, I'm French,

    I have Ben Ali recently an Alienware Area 51 with 32 GB of Ram and 2 graphic cards Nvidia Gtx 960, I activated the SLI.

    I have a few games 400fps as League of legends/rocket League etc. in Ultra quality.

    But in other games like Rainbow Six seat or the forest, I need to be in the moderate to get 20-30 FPS... I have a monitor dell of 3840 x 2160...

    Can someone explain/help me why so I have less FPS?

    Thank you very much for your help,

    Antoine Bedaton

    The fps you get seems quite normal for this resolution with these cards as it turns be 4K resolution. Try to run games in 1920 X 1080?

  • Area 51 ALX - does not start after the BIOS update - still in warranty

    I was preparing my Area 51 ALX for Windows 8 (pre-ordered and expect it to be here Friday) and decided to update the BIOS to the A10 A11. Back on and now it just sits here with no output monitor and my keyboard/mouse TactX™ is not illuminated either. Fans seem to be 100% / 70%. I tried to reset the CMOS and nothing. I'm just here? The office is still under warranty until next February, I believe. I am disgusted seriously now because I looked forward to Windows 8, "Painkiller hell &.

    "and to get some done coding. What a a day of . Don't know if this can help my case but I have been a customer for a long time from the time of Dell before. Had an old P2 Area 51, bought the m11x at launch and was still in talks with Ross Anthony to make a site of 'history' (although never, he eventually happen). I'm sure that set my m11x Win 8 will not work because it is stuck on super old graphics drivers. Can someone from Dell please help me here? Also, if I'm , is it possible to simply replace the motherboard myself? There are lots of tips on eBay.

    At this point, there is a strong chance that the motherboard is brick and needs to be replaced. Fact he complete the update of the BIOS and restart on its own, or force you the reboot?

  • Mother ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition in a matter of Alienware Area 51

    Assume that it is a case of Alienware base, trying to integrate into an Asus mthrbrd. I want to emphasize the use of a black base type USB connector 5 x 5, where the 8 wires are used, 2 slots are open.

    You've been making photos & links to posts that show that the Asus boards use what amounts to a pair of 5 x 5, or a solid 10 x 10, imitated by the Q-connector. Mthrbrd Q-connect & Asus will be the printed text. If your son of façade are currently inside a type usb connector 5 x 5, like the photo above, you must identify the reset/pwr sw/pwr led/hdd led son:

    • pairs of son reset & pwr sw are not polarized +/-
    • HDD led/pwr led are polarized, you must obtain the + / conduit into the correct slots

    I don't know how to tell another that, Mr President, rewire your façade according to the diagram below, using your choice connectors, 2 pins (as shown) or a pair of 5 x 5 usb-types or a solid 10 x 10
