Alienware is celebrating its twenty fifth birthday. There can be a particular Twitch stream later at this time (2pm US central time, 8pm UK time) however we have already got a good suggestion of the headlining product from the occasion due to a press launch a couple of new flagship desktop from the Dell-owned gaming model. The brand new desktop PC Alienware desires to wow us with is a revamped Aurora system. The brand new design is not very totally different to the one that’s accessible at present, however trying again on the Bit-Tech archives, we have not reviewed an Alienware Aurora since 2010, so that is markedly totally different to that machine.
If you’re aware of the present Alienware Aurora design, the brand new one is relatively related however seems to be a bit plumper and options an optionally available clear left facet panel. The additional area (stated to be 50 per cent higher than the Aurora R12) permits for bulkier commonplace {hardware} inside, with fewer worries about airflow. In the meantime, the facet window offers homeowners a view of the LED lighting of the elements and followers which are fitted, as effectively offering proof of Alienware’s “meticulous inside cable administration”.
One other little new characteristic of the tool-less chassis which may enchantment to some, significantly eSports athletes, is the optionally available magnetic rear cable cowl. In response to the gaming PC maker, this can be a preferred addition as eSports programs are sometimes seen from the rear and the quilt presents a brand new modern façade – away from cables and ports litter.
Each new Alienware Aurora comes with no less than two 120mm followers (consumption and exhaust), however increased spec fashions can be fitted with as much as 4 followers and liquid cooling choices. The additional chassis capability and airflow refinements imply that the brand new Aurora is as much as 16 per cent quieter when idling, and as much as 9 per cent quieter throughout intensive workloads. When Alienware examined the brand new chassis and the previous one with the identical elements, they discovered the brand new chassis to run video games at as much as 5 per cent sooner due to the improved cooling.
Nevertheless, at the moment, Alienware continues to be being cagey in regards to the max specs of the anniversary Aurora gaming desktop PC. All we all know is that it’ll include as much as a GeForce RTX 3090. For CPUs, maybe Alienware is ready for the newest and biggest from Intel and AMD to turn out to be accessible earlier than speaking about max specs, however we must always hear extra information earlier than the 12 months is out.
When it turns into accessible, the brand new Aurora can be made accessible in Lunar Mild and Darkish Facet of the Moon finishes.
