Optimizing Performance
Your computer has been configured to operate optimally across a wide range
of applications. Depending on the configuration you purchased, the computer
may have been overclocked at the factory to achieve maximum performance in
resource intensive applications including gaming and multimedia development.
CAUTION: Technical support verifies the full functionality of the
computer at the factory configured settings. Alienware does not
provide technical support for any hardware or software issues arising
from operating the computer beyond the factory configured settings.
Performance Tuning
Using System Setup
CAUTION: It is not recommended to operate the processor or other
system components beyond the preset settings in the BIOS. Doing so
may cause system instability, reduced component operating life, or
permanent component damage.
For computers with the Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition processor, the BIOS has
preset overclocking levels that allow you to easily overclock your computer.
For more information, see "Configuring the BIOS" on page 26.
