Hi, I wonder is there anyway that I can know how much power that my laptop use? I have Alienware 17R2, and my psu adapter is 240W. Is there a way I can know at the moment, how much power does CPU, GPU consume? It would be including monitor, RAM, fans,... I read somewhere and can find that...

If I continuously to use the laptop over time, it will not freezing app at all. Only in idle mode causing this. Disable EC probably does not freeze my system when idle. Enabled EC just bring so much joy to me, but another problems raise. I wish I can find something else and messing around with...

I detached the battery like what you suggest, and it still happen. Hwinfo freezing and unresponding. Other app launch and then freezing. Most of the time, I must force shutdown my laptop.

What do you mean by remove battery? My laptop battery is inside, I must open to unplug it if you mean by that. Or I just need to disable battery sensors?

I have just found another problem here, If I enabled EC, after my laptop went idle for half an hour. My laptop acts very strange, most of the app, programs hanged itself, even Hwinfo can't work anymore and went not responded. If disabled EC, it normal again. So I know that is Dell EC has problem...

I'm just so excited and forgot one thing. Normally I will need to disable EC so can control fan, but in this version, I enable it and it allow me to configure different speed rather than 3 fixed stated of fan. In the fan scroll speed, it state 7000 rpm, but I can see that my maximum fan is...

I have AW17 R2, and in the new version of v5.04-2630, when enabled these options: Low-level PCI Access, TPM Check, EC Support and other default options. I didn't hear any sound crackling and popping anymore. Except run DPC Latency, I still can see sometimes it poses over 4000 us, but it's not...

I'm the owner of Alienware 17 R2. From older version I found that when enable Dell EC, it cause crackling and popping of sound. But with this version, when enable all of new things and EC support, I didn't hear any sound crackling anymore. I checked with DPC Latency, I did see sometimes it posed...

Hi Martin, Everything is working fine with me and I really love the way it working now. But I have some suggestion, I don't know if it possible or not about fan control settings. I'm thinking of making a fan spin a little bit delay base on temperature options and we can choose the minimum or...

Thank you, this version works great on my system. Keep up the great works :)

Hey, I'm really sorry to bug you all the times. But this is really bugging me out. I run this new version and didn't see the fan. Try several reset but not works. When I tried the older version that works for me, it has that fan. So I reset my laptop again and open v5.03 here, it just show up...

Hi Martin again, This version fixed my GPU problems, but another thing raised. In sensors windows, normally Dell EC will recognize 2 of my fans as CPU and Fan3. This time Fan3 is disappeared. But Fan control still works with fan3 because I can configuration the fan speed there.

Thanks Martin, It's really works. Enable and restart Hwinfo, start an app that need GPU NVIDIA (here I start 3DMark) and the GPU is show up immediately. That's is really nice. Thank you.

I think that would be nice. The GPU show 0 so it really difficult for me to use the fan control. Until then, I hope NVIDIA will fix the driver issue soon. Thank you!

I do have a stable framerate, it only drop a few fps when crowded. I didn't experience any lag during the games. I have the latest NVIDIA driver already.
