Alienware Area 51 Tri SLI HELP

So, I recently bought a Dell Alienware Area 51 with graphics cards from NVIDIA SLI 980 4 GB DDR5. I want to buy a 3rd 980 now directly from Dell. They don't tell me no problem but they don't sell Tri SLI bridges? It makes no sense at all? You are selling computers game, but if we want to add a video card you do not sell the bridge for her? I know that dell has them because you can set up a computer with them, with 3 graphics cards requiring this bridge. If they do not sell this bridge then I give them $600.00 for another purchase of the card. Makes no sense...

I contacted Dell spare parts to the 1-800-289-3355 service. I could order the Tri SLI Bridge part # GYN70 (Assembly, graphics card, NV, bridge, Tri-State for $139.99). I also contacted a Support technique Alienware (not Dell) and after explaining my situation, they sent the cables needed to connect the extra GPU to supply free of charge. I hope this helps.

    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,

    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?

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

    I use an Alienware Area 51 case temporarily install my new system. The front panel connections are compatible with the ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition motherboard? I have no idea where to connect a power button on the motherboard receive the system to turn on. Thanks for any help anyone.

    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

    Hello

    Click the account icon that was locked and enter the password IF you know and otherwise:

    Try Safe Mode - several times, press F8 that you start. The Admin account there is no default password
    so unless someone has changed, you should have access there. Then Control Panel - accounts - users
    Manage another account - use this down your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK
    then go back and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times.
    Then fix the password in your usual account. Do not forget to leave your account administrator if you
    wish.

    If no joy Mode without failure:

    Try this - use the hidden administrator account to lower your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK
    then go back and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times.
    Then fix the password in your usual account. Do not forget to leave your account administrator if you
    wish.

    Make another Admin account with your password and use it to fix the others if necessary. (just for
    repair, don't use regular account, not a safety valve) always keep a spare ADMIN account.

    DO NOT LEAVE THE ENABLED LSA OR USE DAILY. If it corrupts you are toast!

  • 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.

    http://en.community.Dell.com/Owners-Club/Alienware/f/3746/p/19471694/20209913.aspx#20209913

    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.

  • (Redirected) Dell Alienware Area 51 new model

    I bought a dell alienware are 51 desktop PC I just deliver on Friday.  I would like to add another 980 Nvidia gtx card to that, but the SLI bridge comes in 3 different sizes, short, medium and long.  What I want to know is which bridge of size I need.  I can't find an image of hard drive so I don't know if pci express ports side by side or y at - it a regular PCI between them.

  • Area 51 - R2, SLI in Nvidia Triple bridge, 3rd power supply cable GFX

    Hello

    I recently bought a new Alienware Area 51 - R2 with a single graphics card. I have three GTX 970 s from a previous computer, I would like to switch to this new machine. If you order the machine with the GTX 980 triple option, it will ship with a triple Nvidia SLI bridge like the one below. It is a long shot, but anyone happen to know the dell P/N WHAT is this bridge? Support contacted twice, I guess that Dell "is no longer sells these and sought to amazon for a share...» These machines started to be delivered last month, so I know the bridge SLI exist and are usable.

    Hoping someone of Dell / Alienware can chime and do a bit of research.
    Thank you!

    Edit: so, according to a technical support alienware - the part is GYN70 - manufactured by Nvidia.
    The part is not repairable or can be ordered according to the two Dell/Alienware. I was told to just order support one of Nvidia.

    I hope that these tech people receive adequate training because the Nvidia 3 way SLI spacing is NOT the same thing as that area 51 R2 uses. Very disappointing.

    Edit: The stock area 51 R2 motherboard spacing is 3 x 60mm.
    Most of the 3way SLI connectors are 3 x 40mm. I can't find a single connector 3 x 60mm - making it impossible to switch to 3 video cards.

    ericmoe63

    It turns out that this v030x is not the medium. Colombia-British, non-English speaking customer service sent me a telegram from sli for $7 to $40. I'll now do the part myself and sell them.

    Just to let you know, the support is not a necessary party. Dell installs only because they ship all computers, and something light come lose. Also, I think that the support is in fact part of their OEM video card and is the reason why they are not available separately.
    With each card mounted inside two PCIe slots and the normal screws or clips, they won't just about anywhere. You would have the same arrangement as any other machine made-to-measure, using retail or after-market parts.
    Regarding the custom nVidia SLI-bridge (heading 2 and 3) in the other threads Area51-R2 customers seem to have found the appropriate reference numbers. In addition to the modular video-map-power cables missing.

  • Alienware Area 51 R2 (end of 2014) ejection of the optical disc drive does not

    New Alienware Area 51 R2 (end of 2014) happened the month last in January 2015. Not tried any DVD or Blue-ray until yesterday. The optical drive eject button does not work in windows pro 8.1, but soft eject works in click with the right button on the drive and select "eject". The button works also before starting Windows start. I invited it must be a software problem and could be fixed by updating some drivers. But I googled a lot and can't find solutions for other Alienware models, but not for the Office of area 51 R2.

    Bluetooth also does not work, but fixed with a new driver from Intel.

  • 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.
