Alienware A06 Causing Problems For Anyone Else?


Recommended Posts

Hello All, From The Newbie!

Just flashed A06 from A04. Fans do not ramp up at all. Hit stress test in XTU and 5 seconds later - meltdown protection. Fired it back up, let stress test run for 2 seconds until temps hit 90 or so, stopped for 2, on for 2 - basically bouncing off the 95 degree mark, not a peep out of the fans. dropped back to A04, and everything works fine. Got A05 and tossed that in - All is good. A06 - NFG.

Tried using all factory settings and Mr. Fox's settings. Just heats quicker with the OC.

Anyone else experiencing this?

As an update: No matter what bios I flash to now, fans do not kick in at all!!! They do spin up to full speed during the flash, so it's not a hardware problem.

A06 made no changes at all to the fans. You may have an issue with your system. Did you go to the bios and load the default settings after flashing?

All A06 did was changing two bytes in the EC and updated the BIOS version number, I checked. No hidden changes.
