  • alienfx-tools

    Alienware systems lights, fans, and power control tools and apps

    • Any AW/Dell software needs to be purged. With Holy fire/orbital bombardment/moon sized space station, etc. For CPU stuff, Intel XTU/AMD Master as appropriate. For GPU Afterburner. HWinfo more than replaces CC for system monitoring. And alienfx covers the hardware features in a lightweight and 99% functional way (its mostly just missing features). If you do have issues with it, just ping the dev and they will get it sorted. Not bad for a single person dev team.
