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!

Alienware aurora r16 gaming desktop
Very powerful machine that runs every game in 4k max settings. The 4080 super graphics card is capable of running my flight simulator with no issues.

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.
