Alienware Command Center

Alienware Command Center (AWCC) provides a single interface to customize and enhance the gaming experience. The AWCC

dashboard displays most recently played or added games, and provides game-specific information, themes, profiles, and access to

computer settings. You can quickly access settings such as game-specific profiles and themes, lighting, macros, and audio that are

critical to the gaming experience.
AWCC also supports AlienFX 2.0. AlienFX enables you to create, assign, and share game-specific lighting maps to enhance the

gaming experience. It also enables you to create your own individual lighting effects and apply them to the computer or attached

peripherals. AWCC embeds Peripheral Controls to ensure a unified experience and the ability to link these settings to your computer

or game.
AWCC supports the following features:

FX: Create and manage the AlienFX zones.

Fusion: Includes the ability to adjust game-specific Power Management, Sound Management, and Thermal Management features.

Peripheral Management: Enables peripherals to appear in and be managed in Alienware Command Center. Supports key

peripheral settings and associates with other functions such as profiles, macros, AlienFX, and game library.

AWCC also supports Sound Management, Thermal Controls, CPU, GPU, Memory (RAM) monitoring. For more information about

AWCC, see the Alienware Command Center Online Help or the knowledge base article
