• You want advice in the sale of 4.5 years old Alienware Aurora Alx

  Hi all

  Just for starters I don't have much experience with computers, computer hardware, etc. I intend to do a lot of research before I make any final decision on my desktop but my plan is to sell and look for a laptop. I appreciate all the advice.

  I have an Alienware Aurora Alx desktop computer (late 2011) with an Intel core i7 cpu 920 @ 267 GHz, 6 GB of RAM installed. I have 2 GPU AMD Radeon HD 5670 connected with AMD crossfire.

  I run a ton of different games on this issue at the highest graphics settings without any problem, Civ 5, LoL, cities: horizons, CS, Dota 2, Arma 2 and rocket League to name a few.

  I'm looking for just to get advice on the price range, where to sell, how to find buyers, etc. Any help is welcome and appreciated. Thank you for taking the time.

  You can compare your requirements with those of eBay. It is generally a good way to find a range of prices.

  I went to very difficult to leave my boyfriend to buy this pc.  First of all, that we now live in different countries.  I live in the United States and he lives in England.  We met on a PS3 game online called DUST 514 and played a lot of pc games together as well.  It is difficult to have to steal it back, but we're getting married soon and I'll come to England.  He needs a new PC for years and was jealous of my Alienware Aurora R4. So I decided to buy one that is still better than mine since it's even greater player I am . This will also allow us to play more games together .

  Then I he wired the money and thought that everything would be ok, but you wouldn't believe the amount of screw - rises, that Dell threw on him!  They had even cancel a bunch of commands of the peoples, b/c, trying to control his spec-ed on Alienware has revealed a major screw-up affecting many clients... (Sorry, it made me delete/modify-this until his order passes through.  Dell representatives were concerned about what happened past.  I don't know if they told people that they had to cancel the real reason why orders and the possible impact on customers with currently Alienware Aurora...  I'll tell you what they have done after that his order is finally through.  Just a hint... inside your Alienware Aurora, check if you own to make sure that everything you ordered is actually there...)  He tried to do this for a week now...  I thought Dell was a little better than that... I knew they had bad grades, but really?...  In any case, it is a complete system stressed mess of it all back and on phone calls and e-mails with different people of Dell.  So I thought that, if it still manages to get the Alienware, maybe I can do even better!

  He really should have an SSD, so I'll get a. He was talking and drool on the maps of Titan, so I'll give him two EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Superclocked 6 GB GDDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI - Express cards in SLI config! : http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-06gp42791kr

  I've never built a pc or tinkered with all hardware.  I want to make this even more impressive pc by adding an SSD.  I think I can install an SSD without any problem (I want the Samsung 849 EVO Mz-7TE1T0BW 2.5 "1 TB SSD)... Oops... I just thought of something... 4 TB SATA is actually 4 2 TB SATAs, put in place with 2 as the mirror...  I think that there are only 4 connectors for extension for SSD/HDD... Is this correct?  I have to replace one of the SATAs 2 TB with the 1 TB SSD?  What configuration I would define then the three SATAs 2 TB?  Would it be to say that he would have only 1 TB SATA? Could I set up so that it has SATA 1.5 TB (with SATAs split with half active and part of the half of the mirror for a RAID configuration)?  Furthermore, I have really no idea what RAID is or fact, just that you only half of total storage really active and the second half is as a backup in case of failure of a disk or something to avoid any data loss total... It is also the thing that I'm confused about that I don't know if it is also possible to install two graphics cards of Titan in SLI configuration on the micro ATX motherboard, I guess its Alienware Aurora will be, and still less 1 Titan.  Yes I know it is exaggeration lol, but the game is very important for us, especially since this is how we met.

  Sorry for the long post... Finally, the MAIN POINT & QUESTION:

  I have to install a different motherboard like the Asus Rampage Black Edition IV: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-rampageivblackedition in order to install two Titan GPU in SLI configuration?  If so, how this O_o...?  Also, I heard that there is a 'girl' Council that controls the Alien FX LED lighting and ventilation Active... How to connect to the new motherboard (if I need to get a new one)?  Also if I get the other motherboard (if this motherboard work with everything) this motherboard would have space for 4 x 2 TB RAID 1 + 0 and the 1 TB SSD SATAs?

  Please answer.  Thanks, ~ value

  to install two Titan GPU in SLI configuration?

  Don't know why you config-ed with two years 780 in SLI if you want two Titan-SLI but this guy did:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/Owners-Club/Alienware/f/3746/p/19512935/20402844.aspx#20402844

  Personally, I'd keep just 780 - SLI, since the two configs end up being very similar to the performance. Either they're going run hot (in the game of max.).

• Alienware Aurora ALX lights does not work master of e/s part #.

  I tried to get the lights on my Alienware Aurora ALX job. The only lights that works are the head alien and the flange. Work, I mean that they are white. When I Command Center, it doesn't even show fan/readings of temperature or light speeds. I think that my I/o card is bad.

  I can not get something to change in Comand Center.

  I tried all the solutions on the forums and nothing seems to work.

  I reinstalled windows 3 times. Nothing.

  I reinstalled Alienware Command Center 6 times (correct version and the different)

  I tried shutting down the computer, unplug the power cord and hold the power button for 1-2 minutes thing, didn't work.

  I went to reset the map using the Green rider, did not work.

  I ran a diagnosis and everything seems fine, don't know if it's testing the Master Control I/O Board.

  I'll order an Alienware Aurora ALX Alien FX / Master Control I/O Board, because I am sure that my i/o board is bad.

  The reference is 02JXP2 and version 1.1 mine said A02

  The white mark on my map of IO said A02, but it has the same part number 02JXP2 and version 1.1.

  My question is can I use a Board with the same part number but it says A04?

  Here is a picture of the map of IO with the A02, I want to buy a economy part number 02JXP2 and at the bottom says A04 instead, but is a version 1.1.

  

  If anyone as any advice before ordering the card / advice to see if I can get the lights work on my computer?

  ThatOne_Gamer

  I don't have the cable that connects the motherboard to the MIO card.

  I'm sure that's why my ect lights do not work.

  Right... If it is not connected, it cannot work.

• A start-up ware Alienware Aurora ALX

  I bought an Alienware Aurora earlier this spring and have noticed that it takes a long time to start.  From the time I hit my power button, until all the icons on my screen are visible and able to work, it takes anywhere from 7 to 9 minutes.

  I can see my desktop in 3-5 minutes, but due to other processes that I can click on Firefox and nothing won't happen for a few more minutes.

  When I bought this computer I went with the RAID 0 option.  I had called and told them I wanted an SSD and a different option of RAID, but was told they don't do that.  So, I stuck with the RAID 0 option.  But have always noticed the slow start has been.  What is indigestion of alienware, like thermal controls?  Or something else that makes it so slow?

  I do not support RAID on desktop computers, but it degraded sounds or something.

  IMHO, I'd install SSD 256 GB (or more)... Although I had to clean install. My computer starts (for usable desktop) in about 20 seconds (with 100 process running).

  http://en.community.Dell.com/Owners-Club/Alienware/f/3746/t/19568143

  Then I would probably break the raid, use a spinner HDD for large game installs and one for data files.

• Alienware Aurora ALX during POST stop

  The product support page:

  Aurora ALX

  I7 - 920 2.66 MHz

  NVIDIA 240 sometinsometin, can not learn more about the cards themselves

  Delivered in 2010.

  Basically, when the computer starts, the fans kick into high gear, the leds light up everywhere, fans slow gradually over a few seconds and then shut down the computer and restart the cycle.

  I removed the cards, hard drives and RAM.

  When there is no RAM, I get a beep code meaning 2 RAM has not detected, of course.

  The RAM and no video card or the HARD drive, back to the problem of start and stop.

  I guess that the CPU is ok since POST to check the memory live.

  The power supply might be dying, or a problem with the BIOS, or a thermal sensor could be dismantled and act as if the computer is overheating?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Probably get a better response if you re - post it in the forum of the Club of Alienware .

  Be sure to include the version of Windows.

• How to replace a drive to an Alienware Aurora ALX with 2x1To R1 discs

  Hello.

  I have an Aurora ALX with two 2 1 TB HHD in Raid 1 and I need to replace a drive for a new.

  Could you please let me know what is the procedure? I installed Intel Raid Manager. It is supposed to automatically rebuild sets after I installed the drive and starting the PC, but I want to be sure, that it is the correct procedure to to rebiuld Raid group.

  Please let me know if you need any additional info.

  Thank you.

  Assuming that your computer is currently operating in RAID 1 with an array degraded due to a faulty disk, replace the defective drive with a good drive at least as large as the original drive system will be automatically rebuild the RAID 1.  It's the usual approach; You should not need to take special measures to rebuild the table.

  He just tried run Dell Diagnostics (outside Windows) everything that is not spent only one thing, he said that the fan was running at full speed?

  1. do you show it a part dedicated to the MIO Board of Directors. Did you use it to test and change the lights?
  2. what MIO-Board connected to MB_USB-1 motherboard header?
  3. is it an ALX model after all? If so, try the AA batteries (for interior lighting) in order to get a good "power dissipation" reset/fix to this issue.

• (Redirected) Is it bad start for Alienware Aurora R4 (UEFI, legacy) mode?

  Recently, I made the stupid mistake of updating my bios as bios 5 to 12 because I get a new graphics card soon and heard that you must update the bios first. As planned, it was wrong and it crashed when rebooting and all-day was stuck at a black screen when starting my PC saying to choose the priority of seed or something.

  Finally, I tried everything to do in F12 menu, I decided to spend the boot mode in the UEFI to legacy. He actually began after doing this and luckily my hard drive is intact, but he had some interesting things that I noticed. First of all, my HARD disk space seems to decrease slightly as I realized to my PC. Second, there was weird stuff with Alien Autopsy (not really, but it has an error message). Also it could run a little bit slower. Hard to say. It starts more slowly as well. Then, change the dangerous startup parameters, or I made the right choice? Or I just ruin my PC today?

  I have an Alienware Aurora R4 running any Windows 7.

• Council MIO for Alienware Aurora R4

  I have an Alienware Aurora R4 with a case ALX end of 2011 that I need to replace the motherboard.

  Will be the motherboard MSI Micro-ATX with a work of processor I7 - 4790K to replace a motherboard case Alienware aurora ALX and maintain my light and fans

  Dale Hey, I'm on a lunch break, only have a minute. Some CmndCntr old versions can go on a non-Aurora mthrbrd, other more recent versions cannot. Not easy though.

  There are two options because your old mthrbrd cannot be used:

  • Just start in the new mthrbrd with the hard drive, you now who has CmndCntr on this
  • then, uninstall the old software/drivers & install new drivers Z97 etc.
  • That's what we know that re-use of your hard drive / windows install in order to keep CC

  Another option: install an older version of CmndCntr as 2.08.09 that installs on any mthrbrd, but could get glitch with W8 and W10. Ok?

  If your Aurora mthrbrd have always worked? you wanted to give your new mthrbrd a clean installation of Windows & a newer version of CmndCntr? Well, you install a new mthrbrd, pure install windows etc, then a 3rd option, a last resort is then reinstall your old mthrbrd (work) in your case just long enough to install CmndCntr, take that back, install new MB again and that passing your new MB has a newer version of CC on the hard drive, it could then use :

  • old MB is used to pass the software block that prevents installation on a non-Aurora

  All old versions of CmndCntr without a stop block to the 2.08.09 version

  All newer versions which have a block: 2.08.11 / 3.5.x / 3.6.x

  If you now 2.08.11 or 3.5 or 3.6 installed hard disk, I guess a last way to keep this most recent version of the CC on your hard drive - still make a clean windows install for your new mthrbrd - is to do the type of installation where windows keeps your latest files and folders and programs etc., this way CC can remain on the disk. I only did this, but it might work.

  For someone who had a mthrbrd of work, while he was still in the case, they could install the latest / last / latest versions 1, then remove what he & mthrbrd new install, do the overlay install 7/8, CC to keep the disk hard drive etc... all this makes sense? I'm in a bit of a rush here...

  • 2.08.09 & 3.5/3.6 are on Dell.com Aurora pages, listed on R1 R2 R3 or R4 drivers
  • 2.08.11: http://www.dell.com/support/home/ed/en/eddhs1/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=442CY&fileId=2990314836&osCode=W764

• SSD in Aurora ALX R4 installation

  I just got an Alienware Aurora ALX R4 and im trying to install a SSD drive.

  The ALX case requires standard 3.5 inch drives since it uses a bottom of basket and the connectors must align to the top.

  So I bought a third ICY DOCK enclosure which aligns perfectly connectors, but it did not work, (perhaps faulty)

  Reference Dell sells the enclosure/adapter needed to install an SSD in a chassis ALX?

  I sent [email protected] but have not heard back

  I don't think you get what im says:

  It won't work, the ALX chassis has a bottom of basket for hard drives in need of support which aligns the connectors as if it were a normal drive 3.5 inch (off-center). Support that centers the connectors on the drive will not work.

  anyway to sell you and I already ordered the part in question.

• Alienware Aurora R4 MIO ALX Board question

  Hello everyone, I know that this subject and I am about to talk about problem has been discussed over and over again, but I have no where else to turn and do not know how to solve a problem, I have so I'll simplify as much as possible. So basically, I had a case of Aurora ALX of R4 and modified with the motherboard and custom components. I have done all the research before hand and found that particular mother that I would work with the alienware command center and mio Board. I ordered the case and motherboard off ebay I got someone who did the case and all the wires for a living it all for me. I got the case and after a few months rose money to put everything. I finished installing all the operating system (Windows 7 Home premium) all the drivers for the motherboard, my graphics card and set to update everything, including windows. The only problem I encounter is that fans are running high, I can't control the lights, or install Command Center, and the MIO Board is not displayed in my device manager its listed as an unknown device.  Here are the things that I've done so far to resolve the MIO Board.

  1 turn off the computer and removed the power cord then the power button which took place a minute with the power cord removed and plugged the power cord and back on my PC, then checked the Device Manager it says its installed driver software but its still listed as unknown.

  2. installed and reinstalled the command center twice, but doesn't not work or do anything, since the jury is not recognized, the software can't find it.

  3 opportunity Alienware software 32 bit Diagnostics to run the hardware test to see if the Board of Directors in the list it does not work.

  4. install a driver for Asus thermal control that I thought would fix a thermal error that appears in the command center, but did not.

  5. Finally, tried to change the usb cable that connects to the motherboard MIO Board via a header different usb then made power dissapation thing as described above and still no luck.

  So I'm a bit of ideas right now, I can't say if Miss me just one type of software/driver or if I need more recent or not. The Council is still fresh and is not bricked I know, due to the fact that the two lights on the MIO card are still on a bright blue LED one and LED light orange so. Also, when I unplugged the usb cable of the MIO card to the motherboard, fans are silent and all lights work but when I plug it in again and then fans are on max and the lights are out. Any advice/Input would be greatly appreciated.

  Specifications of the computer:

  CPU Intel I7 to 4.0 Ghz

  Motherboard Asus Maximus VII gene

  ASUS Nvidia Geforce GtX 950

  16 GB Corsair Ram revenge

  you posted in lastnight here 22:00, but I have not my notify til today. Bravo, you seem to have picked a winner & get your lights.

  When you have purchased your case & decided to install Windows on a hard disk, this 1st time you booted up, your lights should have at the same time you see your Bios screen & ejected from your dvd tray. Note There are no windows or drivers, just a simple interaction between your gross motherboard bios & mio Board. If I was to eject all my hard drives & turn on my pc, my lights will be lit, my mio Board 'works' without a hard drive. It is hard to say why your last Board was not, however the new works, let's get some software installed for it.

  When you started in 7, you might have kept an eye out in your bar to look for the driver past to install, possibly got a desktop "device driver installation" dialog box or similar, as your way of knowing. Since there is no clear indication in your device manager, you can select USB (& peripheral next HID), Action > search the hardware changes, see what he does.

  Whatever it is, it was me, I would then try to install CC 2.8.9; If the installation fails (error platform), copy / save your temporary files in the temp folder, it created, that you did the last time. When a CC install fails, Council MIO get flashed with the firmware, so spend 2.7 CC, see what happens.

  How should OK, I put it.

  Steps back one, pretend that I did not install 2.8.9. If your curiosity is not satisfied on the windows driver, you can disconnect mio usb, power up / power off, reconnect it shows your systray icon & driver dialog box to see if windows install this driver mio; It will take place without connection, next time he "sees", it it will reinstall the driver, which is the raison d'etre. From there, try installing 2.8.9. Consider this an optional step, if when, earlier you scanned for changes on the usb/hid equipment & 'nothing. '

  What I will say is just me speaking aloud. I noticed that you do not want to move to a CC under 2.6. However, if a version 2.5 recommended by Justin is what you end up with, but you do not want to go back so far (I suppose that you fear a brick flashing firmware), you can try this:

  • put power off, disconnect mio usb, turn on
  • install CC 2.5 hard disk, do not restart, shut down.
  • Reconnect mio usb, power up.
  • Look at your systray icon / installation of the Office driver mio dialog box.
  • launch CmndCntr 2.5, see if it 'works', lights change color, fans have cruise control manual etc.

  It is a workaround, you have installed CmndCntr without the IMU with the firmware flashing & you will be relying on the firmware, it has been flashed with advance by the last owner. If all goes well it is harmony & it all works. If you are satisfied, let it be. You are finished. If for any reason you are not satisfied that, later, you want to try to flash the jury, 2.5 CC to uninstall / reinstall, cross your fingers as we all do, simple as that.

  Note: turn off automatic updates of CC
  

  the tips here are to not allow an automatic update, for fear of a brick, do not allow

• Alienware Aurora R4. The system fan problems

  Hi, here is my story/problem...
  My computer is a desktop, Alienware Aurora R4. It is less then a year old. This problem started about 5 days ago now. I called the support technique dell twice. and they don't seem to help, I got frustrated with the phone so im hoping it will work...

  So here's the question: my system fan continues to operate at 4150-5000 rpm and only goes to about 1400-2200 rpm at idle. Today, it has begun to stop randomly. I watched 3 ambient temporary sensors all remaining 24-26 degrees Celsius. The PPI and the fans of hard drive are good at all about 1456 and 1089 RPM.

  Initially the RPM increased while I was gaming. but it did not take long and now whenever I try to do anything he will get very hard and RPM goes crazy. Originality, my PC would be slowed to about 1200-1400 rpm and only go up to 2200-2400 RPM, where the game. its almost as if it was under high load when it is not. and its cool so I'm sure that's not over heating.

  I disassembled the pc and cleaned all the fans and dust with the correct air boards. I have confirmed that everything is properly connected. When that didn't help, I found BIOS version A05 then I updated to the A07.  I ran the Dell PC Diag and it passed, the autopsy of alienware last, Ive ran several analyses of McAfee antivirus, reinstalled the Alienware command center and down the stock of dell pc - which posed problems. I paid and installed the mechanic system and fixed these issues.

  The first time I called Dell tech support guy was very friendly and I have not heard his name. He did lose his time with my settings of video card (not sure why as its only the system fan connected to the wheel and the pump, that is the question) he said that he had to be updated so it updated my video card, and that's all. told me he would send me the next day to check if it worked or not. There has never been back in contact with me, and I have no e-mail address. But all that adds to the question... because since he did this update my gaming experience is terrible. I only play World of Warcraft currently. Normally, my FPS are 75 to 100 FPS and now they jump around a bit, but mostly to sit at 2-17 FPS and sometimes go to 50 FPS, if I'm not moving. So im guessing the settings it's fair question... my card is a 2 GB AMD Radeon 7870

  Then, I recalled once again a day later. and the next guy was not as friendly. don't give me his name either. he wouldn't do anything, he just told me that the notes from the last call said that it was not a problem, and that it was quite normal heating. I'm sorry but my house is way cooler in the summer then it's winter and temperatures are always flat and stable. its blowing cool air and a large amount of air. He didn't listen at all.

  then the next day it remains to 4150 rpm for 90% of the day instead of 60% of the day. even if im not using it. And she randomly stopped several times. from what I can find on these forums and online that is as a module fail safe mode... so obviously it is not normal!

  As today is the first day it started to close I wanted to re-run the diag tests, but whenever I try, it runs for a few minutes, then the pc stops. The computer is running too slow, but this may be a different problem. I managed to get the dell diag and system mechanic to run tests, and they spent too. IM at a total loss...

  The air coming from the fan system is very strong and cool so I don't think there are more heating goes on. As far as I can tell the pump works properly and all the fans are running.

  This pc is less then a year old, so it is still warranty on it, as well as I, have purchased another year of warranty shortly before it started actually... And I don't want to try something else without help, because I don't want anything damage or damage my warranty coverage

  I'd appreciate very much any help im at a loss to know what to do, and feel the support tech will start ignoring me if I recall more. If you can help out you can reach me at my email which is [email protected]. Or respond to this conversation.

  Thank you and hope to hear from you,

• Graphics card problems: Alienware Aurora R4

  Hello

  Today, I tried to install a new 770 GTX graphics card in my system, replacing the 1 GB GDDR5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 555 I had initially installed in the system, the graphics card by default. Having no experience with computers, I talked to my friend who gave me the correct warnings to recognize with respect to electrostatics.

  I followed this official video on YouTube and came out of my old graphics card and replaced it with my new. When I started the computer, Alienware logo appeared (with messages you can press F2 or F12) before turning into a black screen with a flashing icon of cursor/underscore (_) in the upper left corner. No key worked.

  Then I tried to replace it with the original graphics card, that had the same issue - but I noticed the blinking cursor was slightly further away from the upper-left corner of the other graphics card. Even if there is a difference, however, neither worked.

  Given that the system has two PCI Express slots, I pulled the screws for metal which has blocked the second and tried to move the GPU. Yet, I was getting the same error.

  After having looked up, some said they had the same problem (on the YouTube comments for linked above video), as well as vary the technical support forums. An answer to this is that the motherboard had blown perhaps. To test this logic, I took the charger for my mobile phone and plugged into a USB port on the computer... the phone has started to load.

  The BIOS does not seem to load, I tried the keys so many times. I contacted ASUS, who did the graphics card, but they do not seem to know, either. This is literally my last resort.

  Thank you.

  Hello. I have what I believe, it's a very simple question, I want to just make sure before I invest the money.

  Can I use any card Nvidia GTX 780 on my Alienware Aurora R4? In my opinion, there are different brands (Asus, EVGA, Gainward, Gigabyte) and I wonder if this would work ok. Are there significant differences between those marks and, if so, which do you recommend?

  My current characteristics are exactly the same as the original poster:

  Intel Core i7-3820 (four main, 10 MB of cache) 3.60 GHz
  Alienware Aurora: 875W matte black chassis
  Memory: 8192 MB (4x2Go) 1600 MHz DDR3 Quad Channel
  Hard drive: 1 TB SATA 6 Gb/s (7200 RPM) 32 MB Cache
  Graphics card: 1 GB GDDR5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 555

  Thank you!

   
  With 875 watt PS, it should work.
   
  Most of the eVGA cards have lifetime warranty (exact model of watch no./SKU you buy actually). I would buy eVGA.
