G15 5511, AWCC 6.x core compatibility?
<Moved out of Inspiron Desktops board and into the Inspiron Laptops board. DELL-Admin>
I own a Dell G15 5511 (Intel Core i7-11800H). Recently, the official Dell Drivers page showed Alienware Command Center (AWCC) 6.x as a "Recommended" update for my Service Tag.
I am 100% sure that this version does not support my laptop's keyboard backlight customization or entertainment features due to hardware design. I know it only injects core profiles for thermal management, fan speed control, and G-Key functionality.
My only question is: Is AWCC 6.x completely stable and safe when it comes to these core features (thermal, fans, and G-Key) on an 11th Gen Intel system? Or is it still officially recommended to stick with the older AWCC 5.x to avoid any system overhead or background conflicts?
Thank you for your expert advice!
