Q: QuestionDoes the Aurora r9 Support a M.2 slot, or is the only option drive cards with SATA cables?

Asked 5 years ago by Nightxblade.

• A:Answer Hello! Yes. This R9 does have one M.2. However, this slot is currently holding the 512 SSD. You would need to remove that SSD in order to upgrade.

Q: QuestionI just bought this aurora r9 with i7 9700 rtx2080 fan cooled. Can I upgrade to i9 and liquid cooling?

Asked 5 years ago by Reigh1.

• A:Answer Contact Dell and purchase a refurbished asetek alienware cpu aio water cooler. It's made exactly for your pc. that's what i did with mine. just replace the top fan with the radiator. Works PERFECT. Doesn't void the warranty because you buy the water cooler from ALIENWARE the only reason the bestbuy r9 is aircooled is because they put the i7-9700 which doesn't overclock so cheaper to make a model that has a heatsink fan and a locked cpu. the one you buy directly from dell comes with an i7-9700K and a water cooler in it FOR THE SAME PRICE.

Q: QuestionIs this model liquid cooled? I called the store and they didn't have the answer.

Asked 5 years ago by Austin.

• A:Answer Question was answered on an earlier thread. No it stated. I just purchased this as the 4th AW Desktop. Obviously, I've been very happy with them all. I have both LC and AC. 80ti LC and AC on a 2070. I honestly cannot tell the difference in noise. Hard for me to think that a 2080 will be any different. Although, They are kept on ground below desk and not eye level. Hope this helps. Also, for what its worth. I've yet to see a difference in game play or speed overall from the 80ti to the 70. Interesting....... They are all mean machines.

Q: QuestionI’m wanting to buy this PC for gaming specifically Fortnite I’m trying to get a PC that will get me high FPS on games and a PC that is good quality so is this a good pc for me to game on and get some high FPS like 200+ FPS?

Asked 5 years ago by Armando.

• A:Answer Not sure what the FPS runs but my son’s runs it butter smooth. 200+ FPS is nothing you could ever tell, unless you are running a program to measure it. With an i7-9700 and a RYX 2080 Super it has the chops.

Q: QuestionWhat ports are left to install SSDs or additional HDs?

Asked 6 years ago by oconn11.

• A:Answer The computer has 1 NVMe port on the motherboard which ships with the 512GB disk installed. There is a single 3.5 HDD bay which ships with a 1TB HDD. There are an additional 2 x 2.5 HDD bays for expansion. They have the power ready but you would need to supply SATA cables. There is also an Intel Raid controller if you wanted to do some simple RAID setup.

Q: QuestionIs it available in black with the water cooler

Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer No. What you see is what you get. I am sure BestBuy buys the two models they have in batches of thousands to get the most discounts from Dell. All the have are the two models on the site.
