I have an original Area-51m R1 which I can't really use for gaming since the heat/throttling issue is still as alive as ever. But I am trying to use it as my music production workhorse now, but it gets constant USB resource issues. I can't seem to plug in more than about 7 USB devices before running into issues. I know theoretically I should be able to go higher. But I have a feeling that the way they built the bus on this thing is already eating up USB sources before I plug anything in. So I realized I have a Dell WD19TB from another setup. I am wondering if I plug the WD19TB into the USB-C/T ..read more

Dear members,  I have an Alienware 17 R5 that I have been experiencing problems with booting it up for quite some time. I just cannot get the problem solved and am desperate, so hope someone here can provide me with a solution. I have already searched the internet multiple times for a possible solution, so I have read a lot and also tried a lot.  As soon as I want to start the laptop on battery (battery is fully charged and still functioning normally), it switches off automatically during startup. I then only get the laptop to turn on when I connect it to power. Once booted, there is ..read more

The M16R1 is a best, theoretically. However, due to some wild graphics issues under Windows, I've had to switch to Linux. Specifically Arch Linux as Ubuntu was NOT working.  1) OpenRGB and AlienFX are unable to control the LED colors and zones on the keyboard. How long until those projects are provided with the information they need in order to support LED control. (I can set the colors under Windows, but they do not persist at reboot)  2) Even under full load, the CPU caps at 65W, sometimes throttling to 55W even tho temps are 55-65 degress. So there is something wrong here. The C ..read more

Hi All, I recently experience an issue with AlienFX system theme. I can only control the keyboard lighting but do not have any option to control the heads or back light chassis. Anyone have any ideas? This happen after I uninstalled and reinstalled Alien command center. So far, I had window reset, system reset, reinstall windows plenty of times and still have the same issue when installing the AWCC and system theme still not showing to control the power head, back head and back light. How do I get my system theme back on ..read more
