IntroductionThe Alienware Area 51m is probably the most versatile desktop replacement laptop from 2019 thanks to it being able to run up to an RTX 2080 and a i9 9900K in a chassis the size of a 15-inch laptop of few years back. Unfortunately, due to some idiosyncrasies from Dell, this device is hampered in its performance and usability for gaming.DisclaimerThe procedures described in this tutorial may cause instability on your device or it may damage it or void the warranty. Test is completed successfully: Proceed to increase the multiplier by 1.b. Test gives errors: Decrease the multiplier by 1.Repeat the test until you find the highest multiplier that doesn’t give errors. This is your highest frequency the CPU can work with, and this value will be used as a reference.Creating the different profilesGaming Profile1. Click on “FIVR”. Choose profile 2.2.
Set the multiplier to the maximum CPU frequency you determined earlier.3. Under FIVR control select “CPU Core” and check “Unlock Adjustable Voltage”.4. Move the slider to -10mV.5. Under FIVR control select “CPU Cache” and check “Unlock Adjustable Voltage”.6.

Greetings all! I've come across a weird message that popped up a few days ago. On the plus, it doesn't seem to interfere with my machine's.
Move the slider to -10mV (The GPU core and cache must have the same offset).7. Click Apply and Ok.8. Launch “TS Bench”. Set threads to 4 and size 256M. Click “Start”. Test is completed successfully: Proceed to decrease voltage by 10mV.b.
Test gives errors: Proceed to increase voltage by 5mV.9. Once you found a voltage offset that doesn’t give errors or crash the computer, set the size to 1024M and continue fine tuning the voltage offset.10. Optionally, you can run a test with all threads, but overheating will cause throttling down, so is best to revert back to 64M or 256M length tests.Balanced and Render profilesOn these profiles we are going to do things differently. Instead of searching for the maximum speed the CPU can run stable, we are going to look for the power the CPU consumes when working full bore. The indicated power targets are approximate what the Area 51m can sustain for short periods (Balanced profile) and indefinitely (Render profile). These values can be changed to suit particular machines.1.
Click on “FIVR”. Choose profile 1 (Balanced) or 3 (Render).2. Set the multiplier to a CPU frequency you consider it could meet the power target.3. Move the sliders (CPU Core and Cache) left -10mV.4. Click Apply and Ok.5. Launch “TS Bench”. Set threads to the maximum capable of your device and size 256M.
Click “Start”.a. Test is completed successfully: Proceed to decrease voltage by 10mV.b. Test gives errors: Proceed to increase voltage by 5mV.6. Once the Undevolt is stable, Launch Cinebench R20. Go to File - Preferences.
Change “Test duration” a at least 600 seconds.7. Start the test and check the power consumed by the CPU. Make changes to the multiplier and undervolt to meet the power target.8. Once everything is dialled in, run Cinebench R20 for 10 minutes to validate the stability.Battery profileWith the battery profile, things a re very similar, but we want to avoid the CPU turboing up. Proceed as follows:1. Select the Battery Profile.2.
Check the “Disable Turbo”3. Uncheck “Speed Step”4. Click on “FIVR”. Uncheck “Overclock”.5.
Move the sliders (CPU Core and Cache) left -10mV.6. Click Apply and Ok.7. Launch “TS Bench”. Set threads to the maximum capable of your device and size 256M. Click “Start”.a. Test is completed successfully: Proceed to decrease voltage by 10mV.b.
Test gives errors: Proceed to increase voltage by 5mV.8. Once you found a voltage offset that doesn’t give errors or crash the computer, launch Cinebench to validate the undervolt.Some notes:. Activating Speed Shift – EPP will cause shuttering on games. For best results, set multipliers of all cores the same speed. If the laptop soft crashes in desktop, increase voltage by 2 to 3 clicks.References.
