IT'S ON ULTIMATE RAY TRACING AND AI Experience today's biggest blockbusters like never before with the visual fidelity of real-time ray tracing and the ultimate performance of AI-powered DLSS. RTX. It's On. RAISING THE BAR ONCE AGAIN Enhanced overclocking: The latest generation of the Aurora is engineered for 11th Gen Intel Core processors capable of speeds of 4.7GHz on turbo across all eight cores without overclocking. Elevate your performance with customized overclocking on the F-series processors through the Alienware Command Center software. Made for multitasking: With 16GB of overclockable high performance XMP DDR4 memory, there’s no limit to what all you can do at one time. INNOVATIVE GRAPHICS POWER, AIRFLOW, AND COOLING Extensive cooling: Our thermal design includes quad 10mm copper heat pipes with integrated vapor chambers – our largest diameter heat pipe design to date – designed for exceptional gaming performance. Innovative airflow: Another added boost for graphics performance is made possible by a dual-axial fan design with positive rear pressure relief – a new Alienware first for graphics cards. The positive rear pressure relief allows heat to escape from specially located vents designed. INCREDIBLY IMMERSIVE. INTENTIONALLY INGENIOUS Every detail of the legendary Alienware battle station is designed to heighten and excite your senses for the most immersive gaming experiences possible. That’s why every click, press, sound and frame work together to take you deeper in the game than you ever imagined. LEGENDS LIVE ON Light it up: AlienFX RGB LED lighting adds an instantly iconic look to the Aurora. For our Lunar Light, we've added a bold font-facing lighting ring and extra Alienware wordmark lighting zone that's unmistakably unique to Alienware engineering. The future of design: The Legend industrial design innovates the elements of Alienware's roots and pushes the Aurora into a new realm. Legendary looks: Find your own battle style and Lunar Light of the Moon color featuring an ultra-smooth satin finish.

Had a technician come out install a faulty motherboard. Then had to send to Houston depot for technician to fix. Came back working even worse. Now March 2022 working with Alienware for a “refurbished/like” replacement don’t have a conclusion yet. $3,400 paper weight as of today. Review: Hot Mess!!! - We just received a new R12 purchased during Black Friday at a substantial discount. The system is an 11th Gen Intel Core i7 11700F, RTX 3060Ti, 512GB M.2, 16GB, 2x8GB, DDR4, 3200MHz all of this for only $980 (without tax) with discounts! This was an insane deal. Unfortunately, the air-cooled option was not available for the system deal. We have the Dark Side of the Moon cool which does not have the same lighting options as the White system. This is fine as the system would be positioned such that the lights would not be seen. The system looks good but like many have mentioned it has cooling issues. We have the system raised on a mesh stand with plenty of room for cooling. We first noticed the fans making a clicking noise while idling! I checked to make sure all fans are working and they are. We completed all updates and with nothing running while on idle the system CPU keeps jumping from 62° to 100° Celsius while the CPU performance is bouncing around the lowest to the highest. This is occurring while the system is idling without anything installed yet and no overclocking! Not a good omen. Also noticed there are no VRM heatsinks installed on this unit which could account for some of the CPU heat. The stock CPU fan is anemic. The interior design is small and will not fit a stock RTX card if you wanted to upgrade it. It is not a system to upgrade over time but again at the $980 price point, I didn't care. If we could have purchased a water-cooled system at the reduced price point we would have and I believe the design hinders the ability of the system to adequately air cool it. It is noisy when it kicks in cooling. What is surprising we were running a Lenovo Legion 7i notebook on the desk with a docking station (10th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-10750H Processor, NVIDIA RTX2070 Max-Q) at full settings in games and couldn't hear it but the R12 is like a fan running on high! Again we are so disappointed and will go back to using the Legion 7i.
