It does get quite loud, so you will need to make sure to uninstall the default alienware command center as it causes the fans to rev VERY loud.

Teol33,
We're glad that you found a way to keep your fans operating at a lower speed. If you want to try to update the BIOS on your computer in order to keep the fan noise at a minimum you can follow these steps: An out-of-date BIOS can cause loud fan noises by having an outdated temperature table for the system. Refer to update BIOS and follow the instructions to update the BIOS on your computer. You can also follow up with our Technical Support Team here - 1-800-624-9896.

Video Card Failure

The video card in this system continues to supply an output display randomly between different games. The fans will kick on and roar and then the computer will maybe restart. I have tried everything from uninstalling and reinstalling the video drivers (both in safe mode), updating the bios, updating alienware command center, testing different outlets/Surge protectors to ensure the power supply was getting enough juice. I even contacted alienware themselves and they wanted me to send the system in. I only had this system for 10 days and been troubleshooting the issues for 8 of those days. DO NOT PURCHASE!!!

It's my son's gaming system and I haven't heard anything from him so I guess it's good.
