    yea alienware really dropped the ball on the new systems. ill be calling to send mine back within a couple days unless i hear that they will start listening to the community. if they dont support their loyal fan base, then its not worth it. ill buy aorus x5 when it comes out intead

    How is nvidia blocking GPU overclocking Alienware's fault?
