Yes, the Aurora R13 has two open PCI-e x4 slots - one above and one below the graphics card. The SBZ uses PCI-e x1 and can slot into either without issue, though I would recommend the upper slot to prevent blocking airflow to the graphics card.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.While the hardware specifications of the audio card meets the requirements to work with Alienware Aurora R13, Dell has not tested this with the R13 desktop. Hence, the compatibility is not assured.
