I have found that Sleep-Mode doesn't work so well with my Aurora-R1's MIO-Board and Command Center. Sometimes it wakes in wrong mode.
Since it has a SSD as boot drive, I just boot it up and use it. It usually stays booted-up all day with no whole system Sleep or Hibernation.
I do have monitors turn-off after 10-minutes, and spinning HDDs spin-down after 30 minutes. New MSI GTX-1070 has Zero-Frozr tech, so it's fan only runs while gaming. Other fans slow down when Idle due to Manually set temperature-curve.

Works for me.

Interesting. How are you spinning the HDD's down?

Just the normal Windows-10 Power Profile. It only applies to "spinning drives".

I see. And with your fans, how are you controlling those to slow when idle? (Sorry for so many questions. I am new to Alienware.)
