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. This computer features the following AlienFX lighting zones:  Alienhead power button  Bezel ring  Bezel ambient  Alienware wordmark (only on certain configurations)  Internal chassis (only on certain configurations)  Liquid cooler pump (only on certain configurations)  Fan (only on certain configurations)
NOTE: Information about the location of AlienFX lighting zones on your computer is available in AWCC. 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.
