Excellent review. Thank you for answering my questions on the sound level. I used a Aurora R3 for about 13 years. It finally started to lag behind enough and could no longer be upgraded. So, I screwed up and bought an R8. Thinking it would be just as well built. It was easily the worst purchase I have ever made. It is literally so loud that you can't hear the games your are playing. it was, and not kidding, as loud as a vacuum cleaner. The fans and components are cheap garbage. Even after replacing the trashy fans it is still loud. I hate it, but can't afford to replace it, yet. Your review almost makes me wish I had waited another 5 years. By the way my granddaughter is using the R3 and loves it.
Oh man, I’m so sorry to hear that. It’s always tough buying prebuilt and then getting stuck with it. This is why I love to do reviews and help us all not make very expensive mistakes because we aren’t just rolling in money. I hope an opportunity comes for you to replace the R8 with the R16. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience 🙏🏾
Great Video Sir. As I was ordering my R16, i then Went on Newegg and ordered 32GB of RGB ram and another NVME SSD. I plan to place another AIO with Screen in it now that I 've had it a while. Thats about all I can do for the aesthetics. Mine is a I7 model with 4070TI. I removed all drives from a custom built FX8350 which was long overdue for upgrade, which is why I got the Aurora R16.
That is good deal. You can't beat it. Computer gets hot with the radiator. I replaced with deepcool ak620. My computer was getting 40 to 80degree. After change 30 to 60 degree. Bad liquid cooler.
Man, your knowledge of PCs makes me feel like such a rookie in comparison! I'm an Alienware stan, but I love hearing your thoughts (both good and bad) on these devices. Aesthetic seems like a major drawback for this one - wish they'd have kept the futuristic, out-of-this-world looking cases. This one just looks so standard in comparison.
I got brought an Auroa R16 yesterday, only difference is my graphics card is not as good, it's the georfece rtx 4060, but they had some discounts and found code online. Got it for £1,600! Could not get anything close to that price so I'm very happy.
My first Alienware was the Aurora R7 which I've had for the last 6 years with a i7 & GTX 1080. It's never given me any issues but she had started to show her age. Finally decided it's time to upgrade and went straight back to Alienware. Purchased an Aurora R16 with a i9 14900KF, 64GB of Ram & RTX 4090. Figured I will be keeping it for another 4-5 years that I would treat myself and get the best that the market offers! With that being said the departure from the unique aesthetics that made Alienware unique is a little disappointing but I much prefer performance anyway. Love your video! Keep going!
@@XxLGamer5489xX You’re absolutely correct but two reasons for it is, 1. I keep these machines for at least a half a decade and would rather not worry about upgrading it down the line and 2. I’m fortunate to be in a financial position where I can do that.

Great review. I'm in the market for a new PC for the latest Microsoft Flight sim. Is Alienware any better than other manufacturers' products? Also, does the motherboard have plenty of slots for additional hard drives?
I just ordered this PC. I goy mine with the 14900KF and a 4080 super. I also got the 34" Alienware Quantum Dot OLED monitor. All for $3377.00. I thought it was a good price considering that's including the monitor.
@@katawonga thx man, a few people on reddit said i got ripped off. they said i couldve gotten a better setup with what i spent. idk, im happy with it so far. i played rdr2 with max settings @ 4k and it still ran @ 90-100+ fps. i think some of them were just hating lol. I liked your video, thx for posting. im going to sub.
@danielallen7384 that's right dude. There are so many haters of pre builds. They glorify themselves in endless dates about building their own rigs but not all of us care for that stuff(I certainly don't). Don't let them get to you. You got an epic rig. Enjoy it for years to come 🎉🙌🏾
Mine didn’t run well. A week in it started to crash on me often. I’m not alone. Thankfully returned it within the 30 day window. Some weren’t so lucky…
You need to remove the radiator and cpu cooler. I removed. And went with deepcool ak620.. and now it is 32 degree to 40 degree. Before it was heat sink. Terrible.. Now I can play 2 to 4 hours of game at 50 to 60 degree. Before it was 60 to 80 degree. Better replace. And I added front fan
You’re right. In real world performance, I don’t think the under clock is noticeable in applications and games. I only noticed it because I have a vast databank of synthetic benchmarks to refer to
And the ram too. These machines are very picky with aftermarket ram. I’m still a fan of my R15 though. It’s basically the same inside as the R16 but with the real Alienware-Design and Cryotech-Cooler. It’s quiet and cool too and looks so much cooler. If i go with proprietary parts i want a special Alienware-Design. But that’s just my opinion.😊

Should i opt out for black friday and build my own rig? A friend of my own says I should cancel the order. One of the things that I heard about this PC is that they throttle cpu speeds due to the alienware not being efficient at cooling.

Hi Kizzy, I opine the following: if there are no heat sinks does that mean there is a fire risk please? I see from Del that a 3 year warranty is available with if repair not possible, there is a replacement policy.

Pleasant review. Thanks and Regards JB

I have had this Aurora R16 for a year and a half so now let me state its issue. It was working fine up until a week ago ,I power it up and it went to a screen saying no boot drive found. It would start showing any time I powered it on it showed Looking for PXE IPV4 etc and then the No boot drive found Screen. Restart and tapping F12 key ,the boot selections only showed IPV4 And IPV6 network as selections. restart and tap F2 for BIOS ,have to go to boot order and make Windows boot manager as section for option 1. finally it boots to windows after restart. I have to do this every single time I start the computer. BIOS is not keeping the boot order for windows to start up. I reinstalled the BIOS from Dell support. still does same thing. Once windows is booted ,no issues with internet or installed programs. Recovery assist is no help after trying several times to diagnose issue. I will contact Dell Support sometime in the future. Not trying to reinstall windows 11 as I have used the DISM commands to check windows 11. Just thought I would inform the community about this Alienware Aurora R16 Issue.
hey man good video i was checking out this pc as its free ship to uk and picked this out Intel® Core™ 14th Gen i9 14900KF (24-Core, 68MB Cache, 2.4GHz to 6.0GHz Thermal Velocity Boost) laptop Windows 11 Home, English, Dutch, French, German, Italian (Dell Technologies recommends Windows 11 Pro for business) videocard NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4080 SUPER 16GB GDDR6X memory 32 GB: 2 x 16 GB, DDR5, 5600 MT/s harddrive 2 TB, M.2, PCIe NVMe, SSD fallbackcolor 1000W Platinum Rated PSU, 240mm Liquid-Cooled CPU & Clear Side Panel im looking to do 1440 ultra gaming only don't really do editing or care for 4k that much, trying to do it on games like Horizon zero Dawn helldivers 2 monster hunter world cs2 stuff like that im paring it with a Alienware 27 360Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor - AW2725DF so do you think this would be good enough for what im looking for sorry for long comment this stuff is not my forte just want to chill and game thanks
That sounds like a dream set-up but I'd rather go with the 34" qd-oled ultrawide monitor. It's really just a preference thing but you've got yourself an epic system that will handle anything with ease
@@katawonga thanks for replying my only problem with a that monitor is a i play alot of cs where flat monitor's around 27inch are preferred so maybe play safe and flat can still look good and i have never used a curved and in my head i might love it or hate it you so maybe might go to a store and look at a curved monitor and see what i think one more question though on the processor there are like 2 different i9 14900 the f and the kf do you know of the difference and which might be better ?
I purchased two dell Alienware Aurora R16 just a month ago and my experience with these models was NOT GREAT! Both models break down on me and I have return it. THAT SUCKS!
Bro were both 'old'... We know what Alienware was pre 2008 ish. Man, "the best alienware ever", wasn't click baited this hard in a long time. Was genuinely hoping Dell saw the light.
So I bought one of these Alienware Aurora R16s and while it was a nice looking pc, it was absolutely HORRIBLE and I have returned it for a refund. Spent well over 9 hours on the telephone with tech support for various issues. PC would NOT keep the correct time / timezone at all, Was unable to recognize and enable USB devices. Bluetooth driver had to be re-installed on an almost daily basis for that to work, was unable to connect to newer WIFI printer and print out anything at all that wasn't sent from notepad. Tech supports recommendation was to go buy a new printer...um no.. this is a brand new printer. don't use bluetooth devices unless absolutely needed and as for the time issue, just turn off automatic setting. For the $$ spent which was $2800 for mine, these solutions are NOT an option.
I also bought one in March in just over 2 weeks had to have it replaced. Got a new one and a week later had the CPU replaced after getting it back I’ve had nothing but trouble. It’s on its way back for a new main board and CPU according to tech support. So think long and hard before buying this lemon.
Alienware ALWAYS over engineers all their products. I will stick with building my own and getting way more bang for the buck. That being said their monitors are crazy bad ass.There massive discounts are them just over pricing their stuff way higher then trying to say hey its on sale PLEASE tell me that $5k was with the monitor. If not then I could easily build a pc with higher specs than that for way less. pc part picker $2280. For all this . Higher end products and NONE are proprietary!!

Now lets add the monitor as well not sure if that was in your price. Alienware AW3225QF $1099.99. Gives us a grand total of $3380.95. Stay away from ALL brands that use proprietary shit. Once out of warranty you will be fucked having to replace way more than just one part.
You make excellent case but the reality is not everyone is willing or capable of building their own custom PC. There's a reason why brands like Alienware still exist and thrive. I would personally look for a custom PC builder which would be cheaper than the established brands but also give me the peace of mind on warranty, parts and build

Hi everyone! I have the r16 1000w with the i9 14KF and 4090 with 64gb. It gets here in a few days and I’m listing it for sale at a discount price as soon as it gets here. Lmk if you’re interested!!
I have had this Aurora R16 for a year and a half so now let me state its issue. It was working fine up until a week ago ,I power it up and it went to a screen saying no boot drive found. It would start showing any time I powered it on it showed Looking for PXE IPV4 etc and then the No boot drive found Screen. Restart and tapping F12 key ,the boot selections only showed IPV4 And IPV6 network as selections. restart and tap F2 for BIOS ,have to go to boot order and make Windows boot manager as section for option 1. finally it boots to windows after restart. I have to do this every single time I start the computer. BIOS is not keeping the boot order for windows to start up. I reinstalled the BIOS from Dell support. still does same thing. Once windows is booted ,no issues with internet or installed programs. Recovery assist is no help after trying several times to diagnose issue. I will contact Dell Support sometime in the future. Not trying to reinstall windows 11 as I have used the DISM commands to check windows 11. Just thought I would inform the community about this Alienware Aurora R16 Issue.
Does this overheat?
Not at all. It's one of the best parts about the new design
Can the ram be upgraded to 128gb?
No. 64 gb
Thank you for the review! Got a new sub :)
Thank you friend. Appreciate you watching and subbing 🥰
I could care less about RGP and as for ram you can just buy some rgp ram no big deal
I just got my R16 with i7 with 32g of ram and 4070 super for only 1300
That’s a really solid spec for that price!
Where did you get the deal I would love to buy one

Very quiet. For sure. But I remove the cpu cooler. And had to go with aircooler. It gets hot.

im looking to do 1440 ultra gaming only don't really do editing or care for 4k that much, trying to do it on games like Horizon zero Dawn helldivers 2 monster hunter world cs2 stuff like that im paring it with a Alienware 27 360Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor - AW2725DF so do you think this would be good enough for what im looking for sorry for long comment this stuff is not my forte just want to chill and game thanks
That sounds like a dream set-up but I'd rather go with the 34" qd-oled ultrawide monitor. It's really just a preference thing but you've got yourself an epic system that will handle anything with ease
@@katawonga thanks for replying my only problem with a that monitor is a i play alot of cs where flat monitor's around 27inch are preferred so maybe play safe and flat can still look good and i have never used a curved and in my head i might love it or hate it you so maybe might go to a store and look at a curved monitor and see what i think one more question though on the processor there are like 2 different i9 14900 the f and the kf do you know of the difference and which might be better ?
@@davidingall1421 Ah, of course. Yes best to go with a 27-incher or go for the LG 32" which can dual between 4K 240Hz and 1080p 480Hz
I wish I had Money to get a gaming pc
I pray that you will get an awesome gaming PC 🙏🏾
@@katawonga can you please buy me one
I purchased two dell Alienware Aurora R16 just a month ago and my experience with these models was NOT GREAT! Both models break down on me and I have return it. THAT SUCKS!
That's a huge shame friend. So sorry for your experience
U can get this machine for 2799
You work with 1 monitor? Nuts.
Really? Why do you think that?
Bro were both 'old'... We know what Alienware was pre 2008 ish. Man, "the best alienware ever", wasn't click baited this hard in a long time. Was genuinely hoping Dell saw the light.
Airflow is terrible. Front panel is not a good design at all lol.
I actually found the airflow really good
So I bought one of these Alienware Aurora R16s and while it was a nice looking pc, it was absolutely HORRIBLE and I have returned it for a refund. Spent well over 9 hours on the telephone with tech support for various issues. PC would NOT keep the correct time / timezone at all, Was unable to recognize and enable USB devices. Bluetooth driver had to be re-installed on an almost daily basis for that to work, was unable to connect to newer WIFI printer and print out anything at all that wasn't sent from notepad. Tech supports recommendation was to go buy a new printer...um no.. this is a brand new printer. don't use bluetooth devices unless absolutely needed and as for the time issue, just turn off automatic setting. For the $$ spent which was $2800 for mine, these solutions are NOT an option.
Old people with their tech issues lol
@@CatSucker or just a defective PC. It hapoens
I have one myself, it’s great, so I don’t think the Aurora R16 is bad, you just probably got a bad one.
Oh my. Sounds like you got one of the lemons. I’m sorry for your poor experience. Did they refund your money?
I also bought one in March in just over 2 weeks had to have it replaced. Got a new one and a week later had the CPU replaced after getting it back I’ve had nothing but trouble. It’s on its way back for a new main board and CPU according to tech support. So think long and hard before buying this lemon.
Over priced and no upgradability, you can do much better either pre-built or do it yourself.
It's definitely not cheap, but you're paying for the brand, and the performance is top-notch.
No, it's still crap.
It is just XPS desktop with RGB case, pure garbage
Not really. It is good. But cpu liquid cooler is pretty bad. Better change with air cooler. Now I am happy no more crashes.
The audio is horrible. I am not sure what he is saying!
Alienware ALWAYS over engineers all their products. I will stick with building my own and getting way more bang for the buck. That being said their monitors are crazy bad ass.There massive discounts are them just over pricing their stuff way higher then trying to say hey its on sale PLEASE tell me that $5k was with the monitor. If not then I could easily build a pc with higher specs than that for way less. pc part picker $2280. For all this . Higher end products and NONE are proprietary!!

Now lets add the monitor as well not sure if that was in your price. Alienware AW3225QF $1099.99. Gives us a grand total of $3380.95. Stay away from ALL brands that use proprietary shit. Once out of warranty you will be fucked having to replace way more than just one part.
You make excellent case but the reality is not everyone is willing or capable of building their own custom PC. There's a reason why brands like Alienware still exist and thrive. I would personally look for a custom PC builder which would be cheaper than the established brands but also give me the peace of mind on warranty, parts and build
@@katawongaquestion how quiet is this for office use no gaming
@@KobeGiant-c4n extremely quiet under most circumstances. If you put it in turbo mode, you will hear it!
