Alienware Aurora R14 Liquid Cooled Gaming Desktop - AMD Ryzen 9 5900, 32GB 3466MHz RAM, 1TB SDD + 2TB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 10GB GDDR6X Graphics, VR Ready, USB-C, Windows 11 Home – Black

I was extremely excited to receive my new PC, plugged it in and no inputs were reading through the motherboard, graphics card or front inputs. I called Alienware support via Dell and they were less than useful. Got redirected 7 times to overseas support that had no idea what a graphics card even was so I had to call a friend that happened to know more than the people that get paid to do this. After all that the fix turned out to not be terrible. I just had to move the ram around (It had gotten loose in shipping) and factory restart the power supply and the PC runs like a dream. Very happy with the gaming experience so far.

This is my first PC date playing on consoles all of my life. My most recent console was the XBOX series X. This PC makes the series X look like an Atari. I mostly play COD Warzone and with this PC my k/d and gameplay has improved extremely. I’m winning fights I would have easily lost on the series X. Get it. You won’t regret it. It’s easy to set up and the command center makes over clocking a breeze.

Easy to setup and use. Only thing from DELL that actually works as promised. (They acquired alienware and didnt design it inhouse).

This thing is fast, quiet, got the water cooled one, and is great to look at as well. I planned a full weekend day to set it up and convert from my old computer and it only took a couple of hours. It was ready to go out of the box with The latest software. I would highly recommend to anyone that wants one of top pre-builts on the market.

Beautiful design and gaming features galore - and problems started the first day. The most irritating was Windows wouldnt always load. Id get the error message: Recovery, it looks like Windows didnt load correctly. Tried startup repair, got the message Startup repair couldnt repair your PC. In addition it would randomly power up for a few seconds in sleep mode, then power down again. It also wouldnt restart when updating drivers, and when gaming would freeze occasionally. I liked the PC so I spent an hour on the phone with Dell support. Checked multiple solutions, then had me do a system reset. If that didnt work (which it didnt), he wanted me to buy a 16gig USB stick, do a complete wipe, and download from the internet. I didnt spend that kind of money to also have to spend additional time and money on trying to make it work properly - sent it back.

This computer was alright at first but slowly started to just lose it investment as time and days gone on. One week the system just had the light stop working on the alian head button and then a second week and the ring around the system just stopped, now I am left with just the fan light so it lost is uniqueness in a few weeks lastly I suffered a blue screen on using discord or sharing screen(which for the money invested I should not see this so early) it frame dipped alot and froze on alot of moments in games like resident evil 5(old game and yet the frames dropped to 0 for 5 secs or freeze on moments like healing) phasmophobia on random moments(worst on ghost encounters) and finally on save cats in monster hunter storys 2 (specifically when it zooms in when you interact with it and it just freeze and drop to zero for 2 seconds or crash entirely) These just to name a few of the games I seen this problem occurred. Overall maybe my computer was just one of the bad eggs. Returning it but just be mindful when buying this. Its capable but strangely felt I got the bad end. Customer support helped but no solution in the end. they was nice and worked with me as far as we can together. Since it dident show signs of program errors that they could figure out. I am not tech savvy too much on the parts on the inside so I dident wanna mess with anything. Returning it and trying Again on a different product.

Really nice gaming PC for my son. He says it plays all the new high powered games out there today

Love this computer. Upgraded from a home built I put together over 5 years ago. Video from 1060GTX to a 3080RTX so...woohoo! Play Black Desert Online in remastered mode and it looks like a picture. Fan makes some noise as others have said, but I consider it minimal, its really not bad. Looks awesome, performs even better! Got a good deal on Prime Days, so Ive had it for around a month, (saved close to $600). Runs fine, temps midrange so liquid cooling doing its job. Again, its not all that loud. I use headphones for the game and I cant even hear it even though Im sitting right next to it. Would definitely recommend. (Ryzen 5900x, 32mb ddr4, 1tb ssd plus a 2tb hdd) I think this should last me awhile.

This was a major upgrade from my Dell XPS 8500. It is so fast it feels like I am going back in time! Great machine by itself, but even better when partnered with quality accessories!

Im not a Computer geek. It took a long time to finally decided on which direction I wanted to go, but after talking to friends and family, I decided to get a new PC for home use and Gaming. I had a team of helpers trying to build me a custom unit and shop for the latest and greatest. It was getting frustrating, but to make this long story short, This Alienware Aurora R14 Gaming Desktop was the best bang for the buck. We tried building the same unit and could not get close to the price it was selling for on Amazon, average savings was $500+ and it is already assembled, no waiting for parts to come in. So to sum it up. PRO Great performance and speed Already assembled Cheaper then building your own for now HUGE DIFFERANCE COMPAIRED TO XBOX ONE : ) CON Keyboard and Mouse included are cheap. Invest in Alienware keyboard and mouse. Also Invested in 240 hertz monitor. but I can see you lol Fan cooling system is very effective, but noticeable when she kicks into high gear, seems to attract a lot of Dust.. Wish the was an air filter. Makes me feel dirty, but to be fair I was told Im overreacting. lol So for now I give it 2 thumbs up..
