Aurora R7, overclocking is not working, error is attached
When I click on the OC controller and try to turn on, it gives this error. Any expert here please? I already installed the OC software as it required but no use.

Very minimal information provided.
What CPU do you have? Is it overclockable . . . or should we just guess?

Processor i7 8700K

it was before overclocked but since i reinstalled the windows ..it never fixed.. All the command center thing is working except the Overclocking thing..
by the way from the BIOS the setting is ON .. OVERCLOCK ON.. then Profile is Disable but there is 2 profiles i saw in BIOS.. even if i select the 1st profile and come back to windows and turn on the OC.. the error comes the same above.. dont know what to do.

Ok, that information will be helpful. I'll ping the Aliens @r72019 @GTS81 the resident experts for such matters.

This is AWCC? Dell has detailed instructions on how to remove and reinstall AWCC. Worth a try?

You might also check this earlier thread on the problem you're describing:
https://www.dell.com/community/Alienware-Desktops/Aurora-R7-OC-controls-Predefined-Profiles-Missing-Data-Config/td-p/7525168
A number of users are reporting the same thing. No very conclusive answer, but there is a suggestion to reflash the BIOS or roll it back to the previous version.

Discover the "Change CPU Ratio" alternative, which speaks to the CPU recurrence multiplier work. Feature the choice's "Auto" setting, and afterward press "Enter" to raise a rundown of substitute settings. Pick a number higher than the current setting. Press "Return."

@Touseefdesigner Strange ... NEED PRO PEOPLE here to talk and solve the problem.
This is a user forum. "PRO PEOPLE" get paid for their talk and problem solving.

You need the dataconfig and ocstatus files for the 8700K to drop into AWCC / OC Controls. Sort of a workaround, once this problem comes up. If updating BIOS doesn't fix it.
