Alienware 17 Can't make OC profile in Command Center Fusion
I have a new Alienware 17 R5 when I open Command Center and go to the Fusion tab I don't have an option to create an overclock profile.
Is there something I'm missing? I've looked up the help guide and I don't see the button it mentions.

Exact same issue. I had it in a previous version of CC though.

Hi
@evanr11,
Make sure the BIOS and the Command Center version are up to date.

I reinstalled all of the Alienware Command Center and updated the BIOS, still no option to over clock.
How do I determine what the version of Command Center I'm running?

I have the Intel Core i7 8750H
Also, I have a driver that keeps installing wrong:

Unfortunately this feature is not available for that processor and model. The processor will work @ Turbo Boost speed when needed automatically.
You can still try overclocking further, using 3rd party tools.

What exactly does this do, when you set the 8750h to "Performance" mode in the Bios? Thanks for any help... BTW...I really like this laptop...!
EDIT...After reading some other threads it looks like one can get a little extra CPU power from the Performance mode; up to 4.1 Ghz. Maybe... yes...?
I too received the message "Overclocking has been turned off due to an unexpected restart," just a day or two after owning it (17R5). I never worried too much as this is not an "hk" processor, and this 8750h turbo boosts to at least 3.9 as I have observed.

Thanks; I have BIOS 1.5.0, with a date of Aug.10th, 2018.
I may have to do some experimenting of my own. The FAN performance mode in the BIOS is tied to the fan profile setting in the AW Command Center from what I can tell. Multiple settings; Balanced, Performance, Quiet, or Maximum.
Things have changed since the R4 because in the 17R4 the Fan Performance setting in the BIOS just set the CPU fan speed to high (AFAIK).
Still sorting this all out, thanks for any input...

I have an Alienware m17 r3 with an intel i9 10980hk and I am unable to overclock anymore. Ive reinstalled windows. reinstalled AWCC and all its addons, reinstalled drivers. Yet the option to overclock via AWCC is still missing. It used to be available. Is anyone able to advise me on how to solve this issue.

Ahh but AWCC for GPU OC controls. some of us have the overclocked gpu but not cpu, so AWCC is still needed and dead since windows 11 update
