Palicomp Alpha Pulse Gaming PC Review

As we mentioned earlier in the review, the Palicomp Alpha Pulse is supplied in a pre-overclocked state with the Intel Core i7 3770K overclocked to 4.6 GHz.

The Alpha Pulse features an Asus motherboard and therefore also the excellent UEFI which we have seen on all of their motherboards for the past year or so.  After pressing DEL to enter the BIOS, we are initially greeted with the simplified interface which is ideal for less technically advanced users.

Moving to the ‘Advanced' mode, we are able to access all the options we would usually expect.  The first page of the interface shows a variety of information about the system configuration and BIOS version.

Clicking the ‘AI Tweaker' tab reveals all of the overclocking settings.  It's quite clear that Palicomp haven't put a great deal of effort into overclocking as the only settings which have been changed here are the multiplier and voltage.  All of the other settings remain on Auto.

Under the ‘Advanced' tab we find all the other BIOS settings that aren't related to overclocking.

On the ‘Monitor' page we can see a variety of information about the system including temperatures and fan speeds.  We can also configure the fan speeds for some of the system fans.

The final two pages of the interface let us change the boot configuration and also let us access some extra features including the EZ Flash 2 utility and O.C. profiles.
