Intel Processor is defective
Less than 30 days of gaming and the i9 processor has already failed. Games are consistently crashing when im playing. Everything about this Alienware desktop is great. Got a great deal, my opinion it looks great. Simple design quiet when gaming. But the intel processor was the weakness. It’s a common failure with the i9 is what research leads me to belive. Alienware still has a place in my heart but i have to 1 star this and return the item. Buyer beware of Intel i9 14900 stay away!

Aurora R16, CPU fan detect failure
Awesome computer... for 4 months. Currently machine will not boot past a CPU fan detect failure fault without shutting down - now waiting on a part and a repair from Dell. Seems to be related to the cooling pump. Search Aurora R16, CPU fan detect failure, seems to be a common issue.

Stay away! Bad unit!
Keep clear from this desktop. It did not work out of box and dell limits the upgradable RAM and SSD. I purchased extra memory and storage that didn’t work at the power level was advertised. Dell doesn’t allow non OEM parts to work. Will be returning and getting the Corsair i500.
