Customers value the Aurora R9's performance and its ability to handle demanding games. However, some customers find the system's fan noise excessive and the cooling system inadequate, leading to high temperatures under load. The loud fans are a recurring concern, impacting the overall user experience. While many appreciate its gaming capabilities, improvements to the cooling system are suggested to address the noise and temperature issues.
This is by far one of the best desktops that I have purchased in a long time. I used to build desktops so I was skeptical in purchasing a Dell product. However, I was very surprised to see how fast and quiet this machine is...let alone how amazing it looks!! The RTX 2080 Super is lightning fast and handles everything with ease! Overall, extremely happy that I purchased this gorgeous machine.

I bought 2 of these for my sons for gaming PCs. They absolutely love them and have been able to play all of the games they have been installing. The Alienware control center to control the RGB lighting for both the case as well as the Alienware keyboard and mouse is outstanding.

Overall great starter pc to get started into pc gaming. But once you actually learn a bit about Alienware/Dell, you'll sure be disappointed. Alienware uses propietary Alienware parts. i.e. if you want to upgrade ram, cooler, psu or anything it needs to be alienware specific parts. Upgraded ram, turned on xmp profile, and pc wouldnt boot. Turns out if you dont order RAM from alienware themselves, you cannot utilize your xmp profile. They use a specific voltage and timing. The psu is specially designed by alienware, and the mobo pegs are designed differently from them as well. Overall great starter pc, its overpriced, a headache to upgrade or if you have to rma. Do yourself a favor and build your own.
