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

I’ve only had this for a full week so may be a bit early for a review but so far so good. Very smooth, extremely quiet (I’m reviewing the liquid cooled) and has handled everything I’ve thrown at it without breaking a sweat. And she’s not bad to look at… my girlfriend was not too happy about having this in the living room but when she saw it and got to create a theme for the colors of the lights it’s now her favorite thing. Any suggestions on getting her to stop playing on it and go back to her laptop would be helpful though

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.

The computer meets my needs for performance. The problem is Dell. Dell migrate that came with the PC did not work well. it transferred my files but I didnt know were to. Then every time there is a Dell update it does not go smooth. Ive gotten to where every time I see that the lights have changed back to the default color I cuss Dell.

This was a major upgrade from my Dell XPS 8500. It is so fast it feels like I am going back in time! Great machine by itself, but even better when partnered with quality accessories!

A liquid cooled dream machine!

I used this product for my sim racing

I’ve had this thing for a few months now. I was skeptical considering I’ve built my own PC’s for the last decade. But I recently moved states and took advantage of the 0 interest 12-month payment plan to make things easier. Currently have it hooked up to a 42” LG C2 4K 120hz G-Sync TV. So far this system has crushed everything I’ve thrown at it without issue. Frame rates are reasonably high for everything being maxed out with Ray Tracing on in 4k. Cyberpunk 2077 runs at an average of 68 FPS Red Dead Redemption 2 is around 75 on average. Resident Evil 4 Remake, maxed, is over 100 FPS. The thing performs solid and hasn’t given me much trouble beyond the Alienware software wanting to slow things down. My one and only gripe is that the liquid cooling system is a single fan. Running a Ryzen 9 5900 for hours with everything maxed puts the temps in the high 80’s C, as expected with this silly mistake. No reason not to run a dual fan to this kind of CPU to truly give the hardware longevity. But overall, for plug-and-play, this thing is crushing it pretty well. If I had the full $2400 lying around, I definitely still would have built my own computer though.

Amazing in its dept of design and flexablity of technology. A power house to enslave the masses with liquid cool Ai for the mind. The LG 34 Ultra Gear with dazzling speed and awsome gaming response makes palatible eye candy pop on the screen before the next foe stills your dreams. Yes the senses are never satisfied as they real from a never ending story of human tragedy. You want to look away amazed from the near instantaneous boot up to internet access, and then your hooked again on meaningless hours of play. Dont blink, you might lose it all, in a cascade of color and combat gaming second to none, explore the galaxies of your minds eye and realize this Tower of Babble is a reflections of humanity speaking with a two edged sword. You are the victor and the loser as your mind is hooked on the sweeties eye candy on the planet while defending the realm. Pedal to the metal over clocking your Alien R14 liquid cool and your horizons seem limitless until the power goes out again. Happy trails!

Received computer, set it up and ran it for 24 hours, over night I am guessing it performed windows updates or something but it was stuck at black screen. Contacted dell who, trouble shoot issue and said mobo was bad. They refused to replace entire thing they wanted to send out a 3rd party tech who may or may not be competent enough to basically replace the heart of the computer, then put everything back properly including CPU and liquid cooling.... No thanks. I called Amazon and they had replacement sent out immediately. Otherwise great system for the price.

The PC is good. Windows 11 Home is crap, and it should come with professional or workstation model. And, the PC keep making the click/switch noise after every few minutes even if youre not working.
