- Today we will be reviewing the brand-new Alienware R13. We have already examined the R12 from last year. Although the appearance is strikingly identical, shouldn't the brand-new version Alienware Aurora R13 be more powerful, effective, and quiet than the earlier models? Let's check that out.

Love my new Alienware aurora r 14 just plug and play great pc out the box plays anything i throw at i couldn't be happier, glad i wasn't swayed by all the negative reviews
Did you mean r 13?
I need to know if it’s that good
@@Stargkiller its just like my hp omen that i have no matter what game i play usually call of duty it plays and looks good its a joy to play with yes i want a custom pc one day but for now im having to much fun its plug and play literally
@@Stargkiller yes I have at least 100 videos on my UA-cam page with the hp omen and my aurora r14 plays just the same but slightly better with my 3080 its a beast
@@Stargkiller R14 is the AMD the R13 is Intel. He just got the AMD and not the Intel so R14
If the cpu and GPU get hot, just open up the side case and aim a fan to blow air into it.
or just plug in a USB fan to blow in fresh air all the time. I
This is the model I want to get cuz my pc just gave up yesterday. So far it sound nice
be careful with Dell....My Alienware R11 ended up crashing constantly and casued a lot of problems and even 3 repairs couldn't fix my problem. I will get a an R13 with a new 12th gen Dell CPU and an RTX3080ti for free now though. Hopefully that'll perform.....
@@saiyajinog7424 well seems yours was bad. My r4 was working 12 years still works in my brothers hands never had problems. So yea. Feel bad for you tho
The r15 should be out soon so i would wait if you dead on getting an alienware.They will have intel new 13th gen and rtx 4000 series.
@@johnnyboogalo4897 i bought a new one a week after mine gave up. Don’t sry need the 4000 series
@@johnnyboogalo4897 you get good deals now, the new one wil probably be expensive
I just ordered mine tonight, i oicke the i7 kf instead of the i9 with the cryotech liquid cooling to make sure it won't over heat, I feel like i7 is OK iwith a 120 liquid cooler? I picked 32 gis of ddr5 4800 ram and the 3070 ti. I hope it will run most games on max settings with my new 1440 144 refresh monitor that I ordered too., I was going to bite the bullet and gofkr the 3090 but it was 900$ more.. also went with the 512 boot + 1tb drive. Any comments on all of this and your opinions? Thank you!! P.s. having buyers remorse about not going with the 3090 or 3080 but such a massive price hike from the 3070. Liked and subbed.
i9 is fine with the cryotech liquid cooling. just turn off the OC and that i9 is a beast just the way it is. I even heated up my room to 86 and my system ran at no more than 75. It ran cooler than the room it was in while playing FF XV with everything turn on with a 34" UW monitor. WTF you need OC a top of the line i9 anyway? I got the i9 with the 3080 BTW and 64GB ram just so I can turn off VM, don't need it with 64GB
@@Qugie lmao that broken logic. yea sure buy the i9 and use it like the i7. sounds worth it for sure. cope.
Who the actual fuck doesn’t buy the glass panel?
For some reason they don't have the 1000 watt power supply option listed, but is for the AMD model. They did for a while but not showing anymore.
Agree..I have a r11 and looking to upgrade to a different case. Wondering if I can take my 1000 watt out of my old one and replace it
@@hydrobananas Actually seen that the new R15 model will have up to a 1300 watt PSU
@@cappy032 heck yea!!! I'm going to wait another year and see what comes out
Kind of pissed it doesn't have the ambient lighting in the front like the clear side panel case does though. Their website did not let you know this in anyway.
Well what clown wouldn’t get the glass panel to begin with? Clowns get clowned. That’s just science.
@@justinTime077 They didn't have the option for my config, lad.
Question - Anyone use this for machine learning, training models locally on large datasets or computer vision?
I’m hoping to accelerate my research (thesis), while working from home. Compared to professional workstations w/ A-series GPUs, from Dell and others, it’s $2-3k cheaper for fully loaded gaming PC w/ 24GB 3090 GPU.
Right now Dell is selling R13 with i9, RTX3090 for $2,900 - cheapest I can find for that spec, anyone think it’s worth it? Are there aftermarket options to help the cooling (that don’t cost as much as buying another pc)? Or is the design just too flawed to make it as good as it should be?
Anyone have better suggestions for a spec’d out ‘gaming’ PC?
It’d be under moderate loads most the time from my workflow, (at any time using 2x 4k monitors, all MS office apps, tons of chrome tabs open, plus Python IDE or MATLAB. Intermittent periods of training taking up to 24 hours at full load (that’s where I’m worried). I’m not interested in building my own, due to lack of time and need for reliability (good warranty and support). Plus, w/ the RTX 4090 out, the deals on pre-built 3090s look very attractive.
I rarely game, so that isn’t important, though training models could be similarly demanding.
Ailenware is a overpriced mess . If you have to have a pre built you're better off going to "Falcon Northwest " and let them figure out what you need or if there's a MicroCenter store close enough to you let them help you pick out the parts and they will assemble it for you .
Bro the price for this pc is 4k
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, packaging and other fancy stuff and go for a brand that provides you the not so fancy but a reliable and lasting product. I bought an Aurora last year and it is close to garbage. All the best folks!!
Well certainly you're entitled to your opinion. I have been working with Dell computers for close to 30 years, and Support Assist since it's inception. Never had anything like you're describing as a result of running it on literally hundreds of laptops. And I can tell you, for my novice users, that it makes updates and hardware / software scans as close to effortless as possible. Even for the most technically challenged. As for "reliable and lasting products" my company has, over time, tried others and quickly returned to Dell. Because to us, the most important factor in choosing a computer, is our users productivity.
Thermal throttling while sounding like a jet engine. Why won't they just give up on this horrible case already. You gotta love Dell. 😵💫😆
Can anyone please tell me if the inside will light up if I change this desktop to a clear side panel
Can you install extra hard drives into the case?
yes i have already done this i have 5TB
What PC do you recommend?
Can you change the parts as you go on like a custom pc?
Hi! I just bought the R13 dark side of the moon while it was on sale and these are the specs.
Went from $1999 to $1120 after taxes due to an additional 15% coupon I found online. Was this a good deal?
12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-12700F (25 MB cache, 12 cores, 12 threads, 2.10 GHz to 5.00 GHz Turbo)
laptop
Windows 11 Home, English
videocard
AMD Radeon™ RX 6700 XT, 12 GB GDDR6
memory
16 GB, 2 x 8 GB, DDR5, 4400 MHz
harddrive
512 GB, M.2, PCIe NVMe, SSD
That price also includes an additional $100 since I upgraded the SSD to 1TB from 512GB
If someone replies let me know! I’m debating getting that right now
Ive been shopping myself and for the price equivalent you basically would have to spend 2k usd to get those parts from what ive seen on prebuilts. Overall this model is a steal on clearance bumping it down over a thousand dollars
@@esquire9479 Thank you so much, none of the reviewers I left comments on have replied so this is appreciate. They actually forgot the cover to my cpu fan and graphics card so they refunded me $100 and are sending me a new pc. Taking my cost to about $980
@@confidentxal someone did! Not the creator though :/
I see so many negative reviews and just after I bought it lol. I’m expecting a really good machine for gaming
How’s it doing so far? Thinking bout getting one
PSA: A Core i9 is overkill for gaming. Those thermals though. Alienware cases have always kinda sucked. This is just a stock Dell chassis with some bling. Switching the AIO to an intake might help. Most cases mount the rad at the front for this reason. Hoses look too short to do that though. I'd also replace those fans with some Noctuas, or really anything else. Foxconn branded ones guaranteed were the cheapest Dell could find. TBH though, I'd rip everything out of that case and get a better one, a better AIO, and a better PSU because that's probably cheap too. But at that point, you might as well just do a custom build.
@Smelly Wrestling Geek This is true - Dell are possibly the worst offenders in their anti-consumer practices & e-waste generation. Cases are over-engineered and under-perform at every turn; they use proprietary motherboards which can't usually be swapped out into a standard case; PSUs & fans are the cheapest versions that you'd have to try hard to find if you were building yourself.
The benchmark scores shown are actually about 5-10% lower than what can be achieved with these part combos with halfway decent cooling/airflow.
Then they have the cheek to charge more than 50% over retail price for parts to put them all together in a hot box!
Anyone buying Alienware systems these days is clearly stuck in 2005 and clearly have no frame of reference for what a good modern PC is, or how well it should perform.
The fact that the comparisons in this video are made only against its predecessors demonstrate how these things are incomparable to anything decent... I wonder if this was a paid promotion because even for pre-built systems there are many better alternatives out there!
mine is coming with cryo-tech cooling.
How much to buy it from you??
You are spending 5k on the i9 model and the machine is so poorly designed it throttles. You could build a better one yourself.
Things I wish I knew before getting one on sale... Once burned I will never get a AW again...
Should my dad bye it for me it because i do not want to lose my chance for a pc?
If iiii could
What fps does it get for games like Fortnite on max settings?
Mine gets 200-230 in Fortnite maxed out. I have the 3080ti 12900kf version. It’s a good PC but has been thermals and doesn’t let you over clock unfortunately
@@96hypemike Ok thank you Alive 1! What PC would you recommend. It would be my first one
No, as it is a Pile of E-waste Trash! They use a case from back in like something from 1999 and throw plastic on top of it. Also use a 120 mm AIO that is NOT enough to cool a 12900K. Dell also powered limited the CPU so it is not even running per spec from Intel. Proprietary PSU and Motherboard to top it all off. The high-end system at the time was like 5K LOL for this worthless crap! This is for people that do not know any better and DELL is screwing them all with this utter trash. Because the lack of cooling is so bad (even power limiting the CPU because Dell knew that it did not have sufficient cooling and trash VRM's) You could have built a better computer in every respect with off the shelf parts that can be replaced if anything went wrong for less money! POS in EVERY RESPECT!
Boring spec reader
This dude couldn’t review a potato.
looks like the same OVEN that its always been. A 120mm cooler is a joke. But in the end its just another Dell nightmare. That POS will thermal throttle the CPU wasting your money. Its unforgiveable to design something so badly with all of the good cases on the market and all of the larger AIO's out there. Gamers Nexus calls it "crazy bad $5000 ALienware Gaming PC"
What a waste of good components. Your local pc retailer will always deliver a much better product than Dell. And for a fraction of the cost. And also this review did not reveal anything about this crap. He is obviously sponsored by Dell.
No he isn't, by law you must disclose that you are sponsored he did not so no he isn't he probably just likes alienware
