Aurora R10, no overclocking in AWCC
I just got an Aurora R10 with a Ryzen 3700X and 16GB of 2933mhz RAM, and I'm not able to get any overclocking options in Command Center. The advanced tabs are not there for either CPU or memory. I checked the BIOS menu and overclocking is set to "enabled". I have every update installed through Alienware Update and the latest bios version and I've already tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling CC. Nothing has worked so far. Is the R10 not able to be overclocked from Command Center?

Not sure if this problem got solved already, but I wanted to post an update in case anyone was having the same issue. The problem is that when you ask basically anyone how to change RAM clock speed (specifically for overclocking) they will tell you to edit this through the BIOS system. Which normally works.... lol for Nvidia products I assume. Unfortunately Alienware didn't have a conversation with AMD, so the BIOS menu (specifically for overclocking RAM) does not work on Alienware computers with the Ryzen edition set up. Something to do with the CPU/GPU combination that just does not take any changes to the BIOS system. Regardless, the solve is actually quite simple. Go into the AMD: Adrenalin application, go to the performance tab, then to the GPU section, and then click "auto overclock". This should read your system and basically set the RAM overclock speed to a realistic speed in accordance with your set up. You can use the manual set up to push your computer past the auto over clocking, but I wouldn't recommend. Even though my RAM is rated for 3400mhz, my computer crashed at 3k... The comfortable rating seems to be just over 2600, which is still better than 2133.
