Alienware Aurora R14 Liquid Cooled Gaming Desktop - AMD Ryzen 9 5900, 32GB 3466MHz RAM, 1TB SDD + 2TB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 10GB GDDR6X Graphics, VR Ready, USB-C, Windows 11 Home – Black

Never had a NEW PC that takes 3 min to start from time to time, and occasionally runs into a blue screen when its idle and needs to restart.

I never seen an Alien PC in person, thought I’d be smaller based on the photos. It’s a BIG BOY!

Amazing!

Straight out of the box, it did not power on. Called Alienware/Dell customer service and they had me remove all components and retest after adding each component back to test it out. Still didnt power up so they are sending a technician out to work on it. The customer service tech assumes it is a bad motherboard. Update: Technician showed up next day, did no troubleshooting and just replaced the motherboard. The same issues occurred after he did so. He apparently had no knowledge of how to troubleshoot so he called Dell support himself. Finally they all gave up and decided it would be best to send the POS to the dell service center for repairs. They sent a box which was undersized for the alienware case. I miss the original Alienware company before the dell monster ate it.

Overall great PC. Dont really notice the fans. My only issue is Ive had it about six months and the liquid cooler just went out. On the other hand, support has been great. They couldnt find the right cooler for my unit so I have to send the whole unit back which is a little bit of a pain, but the customer service has been great. Would definitely recommend to anybody!!

silent and poweful!!!

A liquid cooled dream machine!

This computer was alright at first but slowly started to just lose it investment as time and days gone on. One week the system just had the light stop working on the alian head button and then a second week and the ring around the system just stopped, now I am left with just the fan light so it lost is uniqueness in a few weeks lastly I suffered a blue screen on using discord or sharing screen(which for the money invested I should not see this so early) it frame dipped alot and froze on alot of moments in games like resident evil 5(old game and yet the frames dropped to 0 for 5 secs or freeze on moments like healing) phasmophobia on random moments(worst on ghost encounters) and finally on save cats in monster hunter storys 2 (specifically when it zooms in when you interact with it and it just freeze and drop to zero for 2 seconds or crash entirely) These just to name a few of the games I seen this problem occurred. Overall maybe my computer was just one of the bad eggs. Returning it but just be mindful when buying this. Its capable but strangely felt I got the bad end. Customer support helped but no solution in the end. they was nice and worked with me as far as we can together. Since it dident show signs of program errors that they could figure out. I am not tech savvy too much on the parts on the inside so I dident wanna mess with anything. Returning it and trying Again on a different product.

This is my first PC date playing on consoles all of my life. My most recent console was the XBOX series X. This PC makes the series X look like an Atari. I mostly play COD Warzone and with this PC my k/d and gameplay has improved extremely. I’m winning fights I would have easily lost on the series X. Get it. You won’t regret it. It’s easy to set up and the command center makes over clocking a breeze.

Bought this in July of 2022 ... and now its October and Ive reformatted this computer 2 times and even installed Windows 10 on it ... Why you ask? Because - about a month ago, there just seems to be one glitch after another. Whether its a game freezing up mid-frame for a few seconds, or a YouTube clip stuttering while streaming or simply doing remedial tasks and the processor just maxes out for no reason causing a resource freeze up for the system ... just seems to be one thing after another. Im starting to think that AMD is nothing like an Intel processor. This is my first and quite possibly my last purchase of anything AMD related because its just not performing like I had hoped. Be WARNED - this is probably not the computer you should buy, no matter how good the deal seems.
