Highlights
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel Core i7 14th Generation (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- Storage Type: SSD
- Total Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 32 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Graphics Type: Dedicated (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER (Often referred to as a "graphics processing unit" (GPU), this device is responsible for displaying image content and decoding/encoding video content in programs and games.)

Q: What type of graphics card does this gaming desktop have?
A: This gaming desktop comes with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER graphics card.
Q: What is the CPU speed of this gaming desktop?
A: The CPU base clock frequency of this gaming desktop is 2.5 gigahertz.
Q: Does this gaming desktop come with a wireless keyboard?
A: No, this gaming desktop does not come with a wireless keyboard.
Q: How many USB ports does the Alienware gaming desktop have?
A: The Alienware gaming desktop has a total of 8 USB ports.
Q: What kind of cooling system does this gaming desktop use for the CPU?
A: This gaming desktop uses a liquid cooling system for the CPU.
Q: What is the total storage capacity of this gaming desktop?
A: This gaming desktop has a total storage capacity of 1000 gigabytes.
A: Since Dell does not want to answer, my guess by building the same computer at Dell required a 1000w power supply when adding the 4070 super. But to be sure, Dell has to respond. If I knew for sure, 70-80% chance I would buy it........
Q: Does anyone what kind of cooling this has? I'd prefer air cooling if possible.
A: The Aurora is a combination of both air and liquid cooling. Central to the Aurora R16's thermal strategy is the increase in its ventilation's total surface area. The side hexagonal array, top surface exhaust, and the front stadium intake all provide significantly larger pathways for ambient air to enter and heat to be exhausted. This increase is the driving force behind the desktop's efficient airflow, cooling and acoustics. The 240mm heat exchanger, available on the CPU liquid cooling, heightens thermal resistance, ensuring temperatures stay consistently low during longer gaming sessions.

Tank
It’s quiet and never too hot no matter what settings you put it on. I can confidently and comfortably stream at 6000 bitrate for hours and hours while getting great FPS. I run everything on max settings, 1440p and used to use my 4K TV at first which also ran max settings but 60 FPS because of the 60htz TV. This thing saved my youtube channel lol

For $1700 you cannot beat the speed
I got this tower on sale after a cancelled order through Dell for an inferior machine that got put on backorder for over a month. Best buy hooked me up with a ready to pick up machine that sidestepped the issues with the geforce 4060ti graphics card and with an upgraded memory size. I can’t hear this run, even when clocking difficult games. The simple and refined LEDs make this a fun but more elegant tower than Alienwear’s prior towers. The R16 tower is a great choice for out of box gamers not looking to tool around with hardware and drivers. The liquid cooling system thats completely enclosed is a great touch for this machine. I can run music apps, movies, and games all at the same time without busting a sweat. A+++. Sidenote, Dell service end is hit or miss. The guy who helped cancel my order was super chill and directed me to get an in hand machine from store current inventory and that lead me to Bestbuy. 0% financing for 24 months was cool too. Snag a large curved uhd monitor for the full experience.
