Go to SolutionCANNOT TURN ON OVERCLOCKING FOR ALIENWARE 17 R5
Hi. Noticed I cannot turn on my overclock settings in my AW. Already treid the Dell Support Assistance intruction wherein I have to reset the laptop through entering the BIOS page, F2 upon start-up, F9 for reset to defaults, then F10. However, I still cannot turn on my overclock settings.

In the link I posted note especially the post by the moderator Eimy. Quoting his post...
"Unfortunately this feature is not available for that processor and model. The processor will work @ Turbo Boost speed when needed automatically.
You can still try overclocking further, using 3rd party tools."And the processor that is referred to is the i7 8750H.

The problem is, as you can see in my posted screen shot, I don't have that Overclock Profiles Tab. :Crying:Any other ways? Thanks!

Not knowing which processor you have try the following series of posts. Especially if you have the Intel Core i7 8750H .
