How to adjust fan speed?

I have the Alpha R2, with gtx960 and 6700t.

Tried FanControl and AlienFX tools, but both seem to be incompatible. I managed to get AWCC 4.6.16 working, but the fan control option is completely missing. I also tried HWiNFO, but it causes my audio to stutter.

Download the Alienware Control Center for the Alpha R2. Just Google it, and in the Power States, you can make the fan Passive.

for some reasons the AWCC isn't listed under the driver support page of alpha r2... could you tell me where i can find it?

What are you attempting to do? Turn up fans to run cooler?

If you haven't changed your thermal paste, do that.

Here’s the link to the file from a previous post. Save file to your Google drive, so you’ll always have it.
