    The only problem with this pc, and its a big problem, is the cooling, the air cooling in this case has the cpu heating up to the point of thermal throttling while gaming. I had to lower the boost on the cpu until I can get a liquid AIO cooler (corsair h60) and some vrm heatsinks.

      Hello Iaot,

      We are sorry to hear that your Aurora did not quite meet expectations. Your feedback is sincerely appreciated. It's likely that the temperature tables of your system are out of date. We suggest updating your BIOS using the Alienware Update application that came pre-installed with your system. Likewise, if system thermals are of concern, you can prioritize cooling by opening the Alienware Command Center application that came pre-installed with your device and select the 'Cool' thermal profile.

      Keep in mind that our Aurora follows Intel performance design guidelines, which can lead CPU temperatures to reach 100°C to output top in-game performance. We fully warrant the product under these conditions. If you see CPU temperatures rising beyond 100°C on Alienware Command Center, please contact Dell support for further assistance at 1-800-264-9896.

      Best Regards,
      Wendy C. Dell
