Hello Dell/Alienware,

Please eleborate more on what the above topics meant? This is from Dell website page (http://www.dell.com/my/p/alienware-aurora-r4/pd). Go  to Tech Spec --> Under Chipset.

This is what my expectation when receive my Aurora R4 with 3930K last month where onboard is bios A05. This beast was running great no problem at all.

I also did OC all the cores up to 4.5Ghz with my aftermarket CPU cooler proven to make the temp under control (below 70 degC at full load).

However, During my upgarde the Bios to A06 (Bios to be said for Windows 8 compatibility) has removed the unlock portion for adjusting core multiplier.

Since that also my system cannot detect my SSD (Crucial M4 512GB SSD).

All above problem is originated from the BIOS A 06. Now when I complaints about this problem, what you all do is telling me:-

1) Saying my setup problem (SSD) . Now proven it was not wrong.
2) Saying the OC is there only it reset because I was updating the Bios. No its not. Its locked.

3) After that saying that only K version CPU able to overclock. But mine is K version. Whay can not?

4)After all above answer, now you're saying the OC function is not advertised? Is that true?? Can you click the link I provided and eleborate further?
