I just ordered this PC. Can't wait! I'm not a gamer, but I just like the looks of it, and I work from home, so I do need a PC with decent specs to run all of my programs.
I'm getting this computer tomorrow and I'm very excited about this. it has dual channel ddr4 16gb ram, 1TB SSD 3070. Basically, the same except the ram.
I purchased this system close to 2 years ago with the following specs. 11th gen i7 with AIO 16gb dual channel ram 512 ssd Rtx 3080 1000 watt psu.. Dark side of the moon Both mouse and keyboard (shown on video) Paid just over 1800, i found that more than reasonable especially considering the gpu prices at the time. It can get a bit loud at times but after getting a clean 60+ fps on BG3 at max settings on 4k/120 and well over 100 fps on 1080p/144 (32.9 ultrawide) im happy. (4k/120 play is on a sony x90j TV, so i only assume better performance out of an actual 4k gaming monitor) Temps seem to stay reasonable both on the cpu and gpu....consistent high 70's and an occasional foray into the early 80's on both seem to be what im seeing under heavy load after a couple hours. All in all i still feel it was a great purchase with the only fault being the wait time on its delivery. With constant holdups (who knows why?) It was a about 6 weeks before i received it.
Get the R13. They are significantly better. They use the much better alder lake county and has a cryo water cooling system. It has more fans, better RAM, a clear window, much more internal case room, and they moved the radiator to the back instead of on the top. Dell let me return my R10 that was over my return window.
@@bobbrock4221 Yeah, I really love the R13 design. Sadly they are not offering any discount on the new product (at least not in Canada). I just bought an R12 with a $750 discount yesterday.
Thanks, Only the Lunar White has RGB options shown. The Darkside has limited RGB options. I am looking at the R12 Back Friday special for $1399 which looks like a good deal but it is air-cooled and I am leary of it.
Great video! I just ordered one of these from Ebay, without the GPU. I am going to put my current GTX 1060 in it which is really all I need for gaming. I currently have an old (12+ years?) Dell XPS gaming desktop and it is showing its age. One thing I will say is the case for this R12 does not look impressive at all. I probably will not have a heat issue, but that case is too small. It actually looks larger than it really is until you open it! I could care less about the lights and things like that. I will not be able to transfer all of the hard drives I have in my current system to this, and I would bet the motherboard in this Aurora will not fit in the XPS case. Anyhow, going from an i7 965 to the 11700 along with the SSD drive should give me a really nice upgrade in performance!
I just found one with an i5, 8gb of ram, 400gb ssd, 1tb hdd, liquid cooling (no gpu) for $400 on Facebook Marketplace. Imma throw in my gtx 1650 super and another 8gb of ram, then BAM, ultra budget high performance gaming rig lol
You can upgrade the front fan and add an extra Fran above that. Also you can upgrade the AIO fan. If you're air-cooled Corsair 120mm AIO can be used. All fans must be 120mm. By doing so I've lowered my temps by 15 degrees
The fully upgraded version of the R12 on Dell is a little over $4,000. Even the $1,400 lower end version is a beast, just as long as you pick the i7 and not i5.

Used to be true that if you had knowledge, you could build your own for less money, but then the GPU price insanity happened. You'll be lucky if you can find a 3080 or 3090 at all, and when you do they're ridiculously expensive. Buying a prebuilt system at least lets you get a card and for less of a markup.
I own one and I can say that they are not so bad but I had to spend something like 250 euros in order to improve the whole cooling which was insufficient for a gaming machine and made it loud as a jet engine and also hot
Alienware used to be awful, 5 years ago buying an Alienware PC or really any prebuilt PC over just building your own seemed insane and stupid but now with all these major shortages, it's one of the best deals you'll get. Just the card itself in this PC is going for the price of the entire PC on the market it's gotten so bad.
Dell these days is quite unlike the Dell in the yesteryears. They have come up with a system called Support Assist that is a disguised planned obsolescence system. Think of it as a Trojan horse. It is introduced to keep your systems updated and working till the warranty period, and swiftly after the warranty expiry keeps introducing updates that lead to one or the other software malfunction. The warranty then offered for a year or two is close to the price of a new laptop; just slightly lesser perhaps. So, my two cents is to ignore the fancy lighting and other fancy stuff and go for a brand that provides you the not so fancy but a reliable and lasting product. All the best folks!!
@@suprfstslwmtion been using it while ultra settings longer gaming sessions. most ive seen is 73 degrees on gpu, processor doesnt go above 70 and she's pretty quiet. Highly recommend liquid cooling but even idle the gpu is 35-38 so its impressive. recommend this highly.

Alienware - Aurora R12 Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i9 - 32GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Great pc but runs HOT !!!!!!!!! I was at Bestbuy today and saw this pc not doing anything but idling and it was at at 80C. I showed it to the Best Buy store associate and he was amazed , but also knew these Alienware pc all run HOT. That is TERRIBLE !!!!! And here is what is worse, that was the WATER COOLED cpu version, so imagine how HOT the cpu cooled by air will be. $2800 for and easy-bake oven, So basically, it will thermal throttle to protect itself form heat damage , and the consumer will not get the full benefit of performance for the money that they paid for.
Alienware Command Center allows you to change colors. I just bought my R12 tonight but my older Alienware had one control program for the computer itself and one for peripherals.
I have seen this in the past with my other system. I would play games like warzone and the gpu sits idle. Make sure you have the latest drivers. You can also change your power profile to high in windows as well. What cpu do you have?
It looks alright considering the discounts you can get thru Dell but I cannot seem to justify the high cost with the insanely cramped case leaving minimal room for airflow. Seems like a heat-accident waiting to happen, am I wrong? Just seems like you can get similar parts with a better case to avoid the high temps & overworked fans at a comparable cost. I plan to play the new Battlefield specifically and cannot say I'm totally sold on this based on the cramped case design.
@@sparrowmichaud9817 I ended up finding a deal on Best Buy: Rog Strix G15DK with a gtx 3070, 16gb ram, Ryzen 7 5800x for around 2k. CPU temps can be high, but it seems that Ryzens just naturally run hot under load, but after almost a year of consistent gaming at 4k, doesn't seem to be an issue (also confirmed by further research) I bought a liquid cooler because I was paranoid in the beginning but i havent even installed it because the high temps are only a spike, and the fans kick in to cool it almost instantly. Im not sure I'd ever recommend an Alienware though simply based on the fact that the prices are jacked up because ... it looks cool?
Is there rally a 2 month delay in deliveries?? I ordered a $6K R12 and they want to ship it only end of November. I would have experience them to rush it since I pay big bucks for it. Might cancel my order and go somewhere else, what’s your opinion?
@@Hpulgar40 Thanks Hector. I still find it inconceivable to wait 2 months for a PC specially when paying top dollars for it. Will cancel my order and push my acquisition of new hardware for next year.
Every article I've seen says that running dual-channel RAM vs. single-channel has a minimal impact on gaming performance. I'd be interested to read one that draws the opposite conclusion.
@@redin575 that's absolutely not true, a quick UA-cam search will show you several videos with real world tests and shows you that dual channel has a significant impact on gaming performance, including lower frametimes and higher fps. There's outlier exceptions but they don't make the rule. Single channel is a bottleneck, period
Here is something NO ONE Is talking about or knows about or maybe cares about. If you want to save a few bucks and don't buy or build a Alienware with a liquid cooled cpu option and think you will upgrade it later, hold on. Look at Dell's website, there is no liquid cooled accessory package listed. You have to call Dell directly and asking for the liquid cooled CPU kit. Dell customer service will transfer you to their USED/REFURBISHED PARTS DEPARTMENT where they can sell you one. So if you want to upgrade to a liquid cooled cpu you can do it at the time of purchase and get new parts, or upgrade later with used/refurbished parts. That is nuts for a premium product line.
@@TheWalf999 The cooling solution they used is shit. The rest of the PC is not so bad, I just can’t imagine how they could equip a 1000 € gpu with a 20€ shitty blower cooler
@@jacobshelton3743 Even the water-cooled model (with a 3090) is still loud as hell, especially with all eight cores going 100% and the 3090 going 100%.
A gaming PC, with a stock cooler, that has zero room to breathe because of their weird folding design. This thing is a mess. Why would this even be an option?
@@b3boss609 So what you're saying is I should pay extra money & do work on a an already expensive prebuilt to fix their design flaw? That's a splendid idea. Or they could not use a stock cooler in a gaming rig. Also, it has single channel ram, in a gaming rig. My Corsair 220T case was $110 and is way better than this, ya know, because it actually has airflow in the front. Sorry to say you lose the bet, I have a 3900x & 32GB of actual dual channel ram.
@@2011blueman Notice my comment said, stock cooler, not water cooling- since water cooling isn't present in this video. So, I don't know what the point is of bringing up a device that isn't in this video, nor in my comment. Enjoy your PC either way though, I hope it doesn't have the problems this particular config has. I do genuinely mean that.
PLEASE invest in a better mic. OK, I've replied twice, and not seen them show up in multiple browsers when logged in and not. So in case they really aren't getting through: It may sound fine on a phone/tablet, but your Ps and Bs are very hard, and if you watch on something with a decent audio system, they punch the hell out of the sub and end up being pretty distracting to the narrative. Fixes - a better mic, aiming your mic "past" your mouth, a mic sock, a screen between you and the mic, or a mix of all of them.

Is there rally a 2 month delay in deliveries?? I ordered a $6K R12 and they want to ship it only end of November.
I would have experience them to rush it since I pay big bucks for it.
Might cancel my order and go somewhere else, what’s your opinion?
Just spent 3100 on one with 3090, i9, and 32 gb of ram and it says it’s being delivered at the end of November as well
@@Hpulgar40 Thanks Hector. I still find it inconceivable to wait 2 months for a PC specially when paying top dollars for it. Will cancel my order and push my acquisition of new hardware for next year.
@@luminaire7085 that’s how I feel about it since I’m paying so much, but I’m willing to wait
@@Hpulgar40 Wished that I had your patience. Have a great day Hector.
@@Hpulgar40 Just cancelled my $6K rig, screw Dell. will seek for another vendor. Won’t recommend them to no one.
Single channel ram is really building a defective gaming pc. I don’t see how this is still done.
People who buy prebuilts don't know any better
Every article I've seen says that running dual-channel RAM vs. single-channel has a minimal impact on gaming performance. I'd be interested to read one that draws the opposite conclusion.
@@redin575 that's absolutely not true, a quick UA-cam search will show you several videos with real world tests and shows you that dual channel has a significant impact on gaming performance, including lower frametimes and higher fps. There's outlier exceptions but they don't make the rule. Single channel is a bottleneck, period
i’m about to buy this
Im getting alot of frame drops and stuttering on Warzone with this exact system.
warzone is an extensive game to run no matter the system
Yeah, warzone is a tough thing to run. Even on my machine, it can stutter. It's more a dev issue from the company that makes it.
But can it play halo infinite?
Heck yeah!
You can literally stream at 1080p on Ultra in any game out with 16gb of ram idk what you're talking about LOL.
Here is something NO ONE Is talking about or knows about or maybe cares about. If you want to save a few bucks and don't buy or build a Alienware with a liquid cooled cpu option and think you will upgrade it later, hold on.
Look at Dell's website, there is no liquid cooled accessory package listed. You have to call Dell directly and asking for the liquid cooled CPU kit. Dell customer service will transfer you to their USED/REFURBISHED PARTS DEPARTMENT where they can sell you one.
So if you want to upgrade to a liquid cooled cpu you can do it at the time of purchase and get new parts, or upgrade later with used/refurbished parts. That is nuts for a premium product line.
I have this pc. Stay away form it if you care about temps and noise. The cooling solution Dell uses is pure shit
They charged you premium for a dogshit product.
@@TheWalf999 The cooling solution they used is shit. The rest of the PC is not so bad, I just can’t imagine how they could equip a 1000 € gpu with a 20€ shitty blower cooler
@@paolobricarelli They pretty much want to maximize profit in all parts possible, bunch of crooks!
@@TheWalf999 Exactly
It was only $50 to upgrade to a water cooler. What were you thinking bud?
Bro turn your base down, I’m having a hard time understanding you
Will do! Still playing with my mic setup.
You'd think for a premium pc the cooling wouldn't be this pathetic
The water cooled one is only barely more expensive and is the only way to get VRM cooling. It actually makes this thing not a complete inferno
@@jacobshelton3743 Even the water-cooled model (with a 3090) is still loud as hell, especially with all eight cores going 100% and the 3090 going 100%.
Alienware designs their cases to look cool, but not actually cool any components inside
A gaming PC, with a stock cooler, that has zero room to breathe because of their weird folding design.
This thing is a mess. Why would this even be an option?
get water cooling on it and i bet its better than your pc
@@b3boss609 So what you're saying is I should pay extra money & do work on a an already expensive prebuilt to fix their design flaw?
That's a splendid idea. Or they could not use a stock cooler in a gaming rig.
Also, it has single channel ram, in a gaming rig.
My Corsair 220T case was $110 and is way better than this, ya know, because it actually has airflow in the front.
Sorry to say you lose the bet, I have a 3900x & 32GB of actual dual channel ram.
@@Snotnarok The water cooling is prebuilt, mine arrives on Friday.

Notice my comment said, stock cooler, not water cooling- since water cooling isn't present in this video.
So, I don't know what the point is of bringing up a device that isn't in this video, nor in my comment.
Enjoy your PC either way though, I hope it doesn't have the problems this particular config has. I do genuinely mean that.
@@Snotnarok Watch the video again, it is brought up in the video since it's a stock factory option.
PLEASE invest in a better mic.
OK, I've replied twice, and not seen them show up in multiple browsers when logged in and not. So in case they really aren't getting through:
It may sound fine on a phone/tablet, but your Ps and Bs are very hard, and if you watch on something with a decent audio system, they punch the hell out of the sub and end up being pretty distracting to the narrative.
Fixes - a better mic, aiming your mic "past" your mouth, a mic sock, a screen between you and the mic, or a mix of all of them.
Ohh what’s wrong with the mic? Any criticism is welcome.
@@Realhardwarereviews Heavy bass for the vocals, I'd say. Not too big of a deal, though.
I think it’s fine
your voice is far too boomy
Thanks for the input. I fixed it in my newer vids.
lol i7 in 2021 are you poor
Aren't we all haha
