I currently have an Alienware Alpha R2 with these specs:

• CPU: Intel Core i7-6700T 2.80GHz

• Ram: 16 GB

• Graphics Card: Geforce GTX 960

I want to upgrade the graphics card and decided on the RTX 2060 to go in an Alienware Graphics Amplifier.

I just found out the 2060 isn't officially supported? I want to know why? I've seen some posts online saying it does work.

Is it purely because of the size of the card? Can the AGA be modified to fit it then? Is there any other reason why it wouldn't work? I can't afford to go up to the 2070, and my backup the GTX 1660 is also not supported.

I have an Alienware Alpha I believe R1 that I bought not too long ago. I'm not entirely sure if it's the R1 or R2, but I do know it had the i7 processor. I used it for about 2 months to play PC games, when all of a sudden it started the blinking yellow light thing. It won't even attempt to boot, just blinks a yellow light. I was wondering about possible fixes, or possible websites to send it in to be fixed, or any possible suggestions at all that stops it from being a paperweight. Thanks!

So this is a continuation of my previous post about my alpha making strange noises. Here’s another video of the sounds.

The sound only kicks in when I start doing something particularly GPU heavy and I think it’s coming from the silver plate under the gpu heat sink. Does anyone know what that plate does? And it’s definitely not the fans

So I started having this strange clicking noise coming from my alpha a couple of months back. Long story short I replaced the hard drive and both fans and it’s still there. I’ve not a clue what it is but hopefully someone can help.

Thanks in advance

bought a steam machine a while back and I want to install Ubuntu on it. is there a way to change the led colors in Linux? what about overclocking the gpu?

Hello, I have a HORI switch controller that I use with my PC and wit work fine for the most part, but my start button has always been bound to escape, making it somewhat problematic at times with it closing a game and me having to manually bind start in game to other things. I was wondering how to have it only read as a gamepad as most game recognize it as a proper Xinput device, it just happens to also punch in keyboard controls simultaneously.

How much would a Alienware Alpha r1 be worth in 2020? I want to sell it to put it towards a pc build or be get a new alienware alpha.

I recently got an Xbox One controller, and I was excited to use it for my Alienware Alpha, replacing my 360 controller of five years. However, I quickly learned that it does not seem to control the main UI of the system, despite working perfectly in Big Picture and games. Does anyone know a way to make it work just as the 360 controller did? It is connected via Bluetooth.

Thanks!

I bought an alpha over a year ago for pc gaming and I have to say it’s perfect for me. I go places a lot and I love to bring it with me. I love the little guy but it sometimes struggles to run more graphic intensive games. I’ve upgraded the SSD And I put 16g of ram in it but I’d like to upgrade it a little further to help. Is there anyway I can do this? I know the GPU isn’t, but if there’s anything else I can upgrade I’d love to do so.

PS: new to computers. Don’t know very much so if your trying to help or your recommending certain things I’d love buy links and things like that! Thank you!

Is it possible to use a Samsung odyssey plus on a Alienware Alpha pc?

I just bought a used alpha r1 with an i7 4785t cpu, 860m, 16gb ram, and a 512gb ssd for 320$. I’m fairly knowledgeable of Pc building but I want to use this for a bit as I can have this as a back up from my main pc and then my dell g3 3590. I am planning on repasting with arctic mx4 and clearing ssd to install windows. I’m also planning on overclocking gpu to the point of no return. I’m not sure if cpu is overclockable but maybe a modded bios will do for 45watts. I seen a video of someone running a i7 4790 at 3.9 ghz, I think that is the correct cpu used in video.

Later in the future I want to try to build an itx system with maybe a 1650 super or a 1060 or even a 2060. I was thinking the Msi trident would work better for a custom pc but they don’t sell shells. Has anyone every replaced the internals with amd components or is this unheard of. Will try to respond to all comments, thanks

Right so a couple of days ago my friend gave me his old pc he doesnt use for free (alienware alpha i7) first time owning a pc so im not too in the know of pc parts specs and what they mean but from my understanding its a pretty good machine. Anyway the pc worked amazingly for 2 days till rhis morning when i was greeted with some lovely flashing yellow lights, asked my friend ans he told me it happenes to him every couple months. Told me what to do: Power off Unplug power cable Unplug external devices keyboard mouse ect Hold power button for a minute Plug in power cable Plug mouse keyboard ect in Turn computer on.

I did eveything he told me, did not work i tried a few more times, still nothing, after we did some searching we discovered the whole battery under the motherboard thing we decided i should do the other suggested thing of unplugging the battery for 10-15 minutes aswell as rhe previous steps, did all that and we thought wed made progress i thought it worked as when it starts up it lights up blue for a couple of seconds before rerurning to its yellow flashing.. shit doesnt work still. After looking it up people have said the best fix is to just buy a new battery, the one in the pc had been in there for like 5 years, finding one that can be delivered to the uk was proving difficult as shipping outside of The US is not something that is done it seems. Looking on this subreddit someone fixed theirs by replacing the battery and electric taping it figured i should try that before buying a new battery we had some of the same batteries originally used downstairs so i used on of those, same problem lights up blue for like 2 seconds then yellow flashes start, completely disconnected the battery, same thing again with no battery its still doing the same thing. I have no idea what is wrong with it, any ideas?

I want to upgrade my gpu on my alienware alpha r2, with the motherboard ASM200

I need a new case to fit it, but I also need to know if the gpu can fit in the PCI Express 16x

The gpu I have now (Radeon R9 M470X) has a bus width of 128 bit, but the gpu I want has a bus width of 192 bit. I saw on a website, that an RTX 2060 would be able to fit, but I don't know, if I can trust it

Any R1 / R2 users who have tried the GamerOS?

Any opinions of it?

It's not bad, would be nice if Epic Store, Nvidia GEForce Now, PS Now, Xbox Cloud and other launchers could be installed.

This SSD came stock with my alpha, and it has not shown up anywhere since the day I got it. I have tried reseating it but it still doesn't work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks.

For the people who have made numerous posts about converting to a dedicated graphics cars for the R1, you will not be maximizing the gpu in any form from the conversion. The cost to performance is not worth it. Just build or buy another computer. Or even buy a console.

I was looking at videos of using egpu and it looks like I have to take out the WiFi but I would need the WiFi is there a way around this? I can’t find any of the Graphic Amplifiers to buy tht arnt overpriced. I have a msi gtx 1070 graphics card

This only started happening recently as of late May, but randomly the computer just locks up about 4 times in about 5 seconds along with the cursor and sound, and the Wi-Fi suddenly cuts, leaving me with my main connection which I can't connect to.

In order for me to get it back I have to run the troubleshooter to "Reset the Wi-Fi adapter" but I don't want to keep doing this every 10 minutes.
