you never know with the dell desktop what you're gonna get sometimes they're
just incredible you can upgrade them as much as you want and as they become
cheaper they're the sort of thing that you look for like on the side of the road or like at an
office auction or something like that you can just hook a GPU in it and
awesome you're off to the races other times you can do almost nothing and you
pay a premium i don't know where this is gonna land but hopefully it's in the former so this is
the alienware aurora r10 and let's get into it
i wonder if we got a mouse and keyboard i was looking at the configurator and
they are a zero dollar option to add on looks like it excellent up top here we
have a mouse which looks like it was supposed
to stay in there but did not power cord and we have a keyboard low
profile RGB mechanical gaming keyboard cherry reds
oh wow that's pretty sick for a zero dollar
option i actually like those a fair bit i'm
honest they feel kind of like a just really long travel laptop keyboard
huh well i don't think that a lot of people that get this will be
mad about this keyboard at all i don't know how to feel about the design if i'm
honest it's like a dyson fan or like a RAM jet
or kind of portaly it's not going to offend anyone
even if it might not be quite your cup of tea also these peels are fantastic
you can see here that they have a bunch of cutouts if someone doesn't take it
off they don't just choke their pc out
that's how you do it i totally don't get
asmr so i have no clue what like sets people off i don't know if you pay
a premium over getting like a normal desktop for the alienware
one but i would certainly pay a bit of a premium just for all these peels here
wow all right so
i guess now we can start it up after our sponsor

in the description oh
kind of loud nice bit of air coming out
of here
this is much more kitted than what we asked for so here we actually have an
AMD ryzen 9 3950x so that's 16 cores
pretty much the best processor that you can get that's you know for consumers
and not for like workstations we also have 64 gigabytes of RAM it is a
2666 so it would be nice to have a slightly
higher speed instead of that much capacity like if you're looking for gaming you might want to go for like 32
gigabytes at a higher speed than 64. but whatever
64 gigabytes of RAM that's pretty sick we also have a two terabyte samsung NVMe
SSD and to top it all off we have a GeForce
rtx 2080 ti so she's powerful he's a real
powerful one if the cooling system can handle this computer you know that any other spec
she's gonna be fine let's take a little look at the i o here so on the front we have usb
type c along with three usbs and
headphone microphone so that's pretty sick actually
around the back we have optical audio and what i think is a subwoofer out so
that's pretty cool you also have uh 10
usb type a ports and another type c back
here along with an Ethernet port and three display ports HDMI
and the vr out usb type c thing oh yeah
there's also audio out for the like five point stereo thing does anyone
actually use those anyway we are getting amazing network
speeds even for that's a gigabit 113 megabytes
per second down that's pretty sick hilariously enough here our internet is
good enough that it's CPU bound on how fast your downloads go so having
the you know good old 3950x which is actually at like 25
utilization or like 40 just downloading doom
it's pretty sick that we can actually take advantage of that all right so
let's see how it does for the CPU temp running the little
7-zip benchmark here we're only seeing up to 70. that's
pretty good this thing is liquid cooled although
liquid coolers aren't always your best friend this one seems to be though maximum of
76 degrees and it looks like it's leveling off closer to 70. i'm impressed i have to
say i was kind of expecting this to be a bit
of a hot boy all right that's enough of that on to doom as an absolute shocker to no one an
rtx 2080 ti plays games good uh where the heck do i go why do i need
to start on platforming this is just the absolute worst
so yeah this is pretty freaking sick we're looking at a pretty solid 180 FPS
on ultra nightmare 1440p
really no complaints whatsoever i don't think we're looking
anything super valuable from finding out that this gaming system that is
basically the absolute best that you can get is really good GPU got up to a maximum
of 81 degrees okay so
it's not going to be super happy although i guess
what can you really do it looks like it's taking in air from right here
i think it's a very standard cooler that we have on there so
it's kind of about what you get out of a 2080 ti this looks like a desktop that
has pretty good cooling but i guess we'll find out soon enough the real test though
comes when we get inside of it are you actually going to be able to upgrade
this thing like a normal pc or are you kind of just stuck with what
dell gave you so you just take out one screw here pull
on that and it looks like it gives you access to okay what is that
this is a very less than conventional layout
i guess it doesn't really matter for the thermals because air is coming in here
shooting out there anything for the GPU would be coming in the vent that was
right here and out and as for the CPU
looks like it would probably be drawing in here and a bit
up here and then there's a radiator around this
area so you just push these two little tabs up and
all of this moves away cage for a hard
drive here cage for a hard drive there or i guess ssds if you so please
we also have a hard drive bay up here at
the front we also have only one eight pin CPU
connector so you're not going to be able to overclock
this chip like you could with like a 500 motherboard
as for the cooling we have this pretty standard looking aio with an
alienware logo on it here it goes up to
120 millimeter radiator in the top it looks like it has kind of like a delta
servery fan of sorts and then in here we have another PCIe
only an 8x slot and two fours probably
want a couple 16 axes but at the same time sli is dead
what else are you going to need all that power for you can still put like a 10 gig card or whatever in here if you want
my impressions of the inside overall are quite good though like as someone
who has upgraded dells in the past that were
really poorly designed for upgrading this looks like you'll have a much
easier time going about it like it still isn't quite the same as like if you
built your own computer but at the same time if
you only want a pre-built now at least you have the option to upgrade it
in the future instead of just finding out you're screwed
say what the wattage is of this power supply on it anywhere
i'm pretty sure that we got the thousand watt model it was manufactured
on november 6 of 2019 i can tell you that but i can't tell you much else
based off what's on it
this guy right here as spec comes in at just over four thousand dollars which
honestly seems pretty reasonable given how op it is
although now we get to find out if that actually makes sense compared to
buying your own desktop or like building your own desktop we did at the pc part
picker here and it looks like the total is thirty five hundred and seventy nine
dollars you're definitely paying a premium for this guy but it's not
all that bad really especially when you consider that you're also getting like
a pretty good keyboard and a mouse so that closes the gap
to only what like two three hundred dollars for that you get a warranty it's
assembled it just shows up at your door me personally i would build a pc because i
like doing that for you it's kind of up to you this is
like quite a compelling machine there's no real complaints here good job
alienware just that hope you guys have a good day
see you later get subscribed like it Anthony wants to do a video
goodbye
