  • Key Specs
    • Processor Model: Intel 7th Generation Core i9 X (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
    • Storage Type: SSD, HDD
    • Total Storage Capacity: 2256 gigabytes
    • System Memory (RAM): 16 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)

  • Storage
    • Storage Type: SSD, HDD
    • Total Storage Capacity: 2256 gigabytes
    • Solid State Drive Capacity: 256 gigabytes (The amount of data that can be stored on the device's solid state drive (SSD). SSD is a flash-based storage with faster speeds than a hard disk drive (HDD).)
    • Hard Drive Capacity: 2000 gigabytes (The amount of data that can be stored on the device's mechanical hard drive. Hard disk drives (HDDs) typically have larger capacities than solid state drives (SSDs) but may have slower speeds.)
    • Solid State Drive Interface: PCIe (Connects the solid state drive to the host system. PCI and SATA interfaces are the most common; PCI interfaces are typically faster, but SATA interfaces are compatible with a wider range of systems.)
    • Hard Drive Interface: SATA (Connects the hard drive to the host system for transferring data between the hard disk cache and system memory. IDE and SATA interfaces are primarily used for personal computing, while larger servers and workstations typically use SAS or SCSI.)
    • Hard Drive Accelerator: None (A module integrated (or added) into a PC to improve performance speed. By acting as a high-speed cache, an accelerator speeds up access times to the hard drive, which results in faster web browsing, improved gaming experience, and overall more responsiveness.)
  • Memory
    • System Memory (RAM): 16 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
    • Type of Memory (RAM): DDR4 SDRAM (Each type of RAM delivers a different level of speed, bandwidth, energy efficiency and performance.)
    • System Memory RAM Speed: 2666 megahertz (How fast the information-storing hardware operates. The faster the RAM, the faster memory can be transferred to other system components. Ultimately, faster RAM improves operational efficiency.)
    • System Memory RAM Expandable To: 64 gigabytes (Adding more random-access memory (RAM) to a computer speeds up performance and improves efficiency. Upgrades to memory are limited by the number of expansion slots for additional RAM and existing RAM installed on the device.)
  • Compatibility
    • Operating System: Windows 10 Home (The operating system manages all software and hardware, including files, memory and connected devices. Most importantly, it lets you interact with your device and your programs in a visual way; otherwise, you'd be typing computer code to get anything done.)
    • Operating System Architecture: 64-bit (An operating system (OS) manages computer hardware, software resources, and programs in conjunction with the system's processor. 64-bit operating systems can handle more data at once than 32-bit systems, resulting in faster speeds, more effiency, and overall improved performance.)
  • Connectivity
    • Ethernet Card: 10/100/1000 (Also known as an Ethernet adapter, this card plugs into a computer's motherboard and enables it to access an Ethernet network. Ethernet data transmission speeds are measured in Mbps (megabits per second) and Gbps (gigabits per second). For example, a 10/100 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps, while a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps and has a maximum speed of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)

Product Manuals

Q: Can anyone with this system confirm the power supply watts and whether it is liquid cooled? I have not seen a confirmed answer who owns the system. Thank you.

A: Confirmed 850w power supply. D850ef-00 model number on the unit itself. It's fan cooled. The CPU is liquid cooled I got mine delivered yesterday.

Q: I assume it is, but is this "VR-Ready"?

A: Most Computers you see that have anything above a "Geforce GTX 1060" Will be able to Run Virtual Reality "VR-Ready". To Answer your question yes it is.

Q: what is the power supply? is it liquid cooling?

A: Per the Alienware website for the Aurora R7, with the 1080 TI card in this rig, it has a 850 watt PS and is liquid cooled.

Q: Will I be able to add additional 1080 Ti card? How many PCIe channels are available on the system?

A: It comes with one 1080ti and you can install a 2nd one. I just had one 1080ti delivered today so I can install it. Now I’ll have two graphic cards. This computer will only take two graphics cards total.

Q: How do I get the system recovery discs? before when you bought a new computer it always ask you to create a system recovery disc to do a fresh install of windows in case of a virus or if you computer was getting slow.

A: The R7 does not include a recovery disk. However, Windows 10 does include the ability to create a Windows image or a system restore disk. The following link shows the steps: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10/how-to-create-a-system-image-in-windows-10/84fa6683-e3ac-4e93-9139-368af9267869 I hope this helps.

Q: Just a few questions, How many watts is the power supply? I see that it is air cooled, does it have any 120mm fans and how many? Are any of the USB ports the new type C and are there any 3.0 and/or 3.1 USB type C ports?

A: It has one fan on top and one fan in the back but it also in fact has water cooling for the processor even though it says air. When you receive the package it states that it is water cooled and I have verified that It is. Also, it has one Type C on the top and most of the USB's are 3.1. Not sure about the ps wattage, forgot to look last time I had it open.
