This happened if it doesn't have separate G-mode, but "Performance" mode instead. It should be one of "Level XXX" modes (which is, in fact, "Thermal modes" from AWCC, select it and check. NB: You can rename "Level XXX" mode after check to reflect what it do.

My Alienware x17 R2 shows the following in the Power menu: Manual, Level 163, Level 160, Level 161, Level 164, Level 165, Level 171. Both Level 171 and Level 164 seem to set the fan to max speed. What do the other levels mean?

171 (0xAB) is the mode set for G-Mode (among other). The rest is model-depended, it's different between hardware. It's, in general, Quiet, Balanced, Cool, Performance in AWCC. You can get some hints about each mode using HWINFO with some GPU benchmark - it reveals CPU/GPU power limits.

For example, this is PLs for mine m16R1:
