I have the R15 for 2 weeks now (i9 13900KF; RTX4090; 64GB DDR5; 4 TB NVMe M.2 PCIe SSD), so far this machine is way beyond expectations. Temperatures are in control, fan noise is very acceptable, this PC is SUPER fast and last but not least I play Cyberpunk 4K ultra settings ray tracing maxed out 122 FPS average.

@@davidhenderson7791 that’s not what they mean lmao you won’t be able to upgrade the GPU to the 5080-5090 even if you upgraded the PSU. It’s very hard to upgrade these devices because they are prebuilt.

Yeah man just check out the specs of this thing go.corsair.com/kjYn2z Corsair is definitely offering way more for your money than this Alienware is. Kinda disappointing how much Dell is charging for this. My experience with Corsair showed it to be faster than Alienware when matched spec for spec so I'm pretty confident the i7400 will be better even without testing it yet. Even if it performs the same, thermals will definitely be better and that PC costs a lot less.
@@JustinTechTips How does Corsair get away with a lot less powerful PSU? There's also frequent coupons and discounts from Dell that mark their systems down by 15-20 percent. There was recently one through Alienware Arena for this very model for 20% off.
@@victoro8392 Dell uses repurposed server power supply’s for their” high end desktops”. Corsair has a lower wattage psu but the quality is almost server like aka enterprise quality. With the corsair you also get good thermals so no loss of performance due to heat.
Failed to mention that Dell offers HUGE discounts, and you know they do Justin. SO why not talk about it in your review. I got 20% off my r15 by using dell coupons that I googled for. So that take away your price argument. You also made a huge deal about the space between the graphics card and the psu. Yet the 4090 runs well in the safe range around 70-74c from my experience with the same computer. Highly recommend upgrade cpu thermal paste. My r15 doesnt go over 70c while 4k gaming while running background apps. Also got 38,000+ during cinebench r23.

Hi Justin, in case you did not yet finish the full review(which I am eager to watch) - can you please Stresstest for Temperatures and also Benchmarks in comparison to other prebuilt PC’s? Thanks a lot!
As a lover of Alienware PCs, I have to say we know what we are getting...good bad and ugly. It is nice to get an honest POV though. Waiting on my R15 now... 😊
Great review on the products! I’m looking for an upgrade to the R15 or the Corsair for iRacing (SIM Racing). Any thoughts on one or the other for SIM racing / iRacing? Thanks
@OvertheTopOperationsandRacing I would go with Corsair over R15. Specifically the Intel version go.corsair.com/kjYn2z . But also did just test the HP Omen 45L bit.ly/HP-Omen-45L-4090 and it dominated the charts when it came to 4k gaming and just slightly below Corsair for 1440p. That was with normal Performance mode though. When I used HP's Extreme mode it was the fastest overall for every resolution I did gaming tests with (1080p, 1440p, and 4K)
I have an R8, and the owner's manual is minimal. The power cable uses 12-gauge wiring. Is there a TH-cam video that explains how to unbox anything? At least you kept that part short and sweet. Glad to see that Alienware didn't place the PSU like the one in my R8. That's a side tip-over waiting to happen. Given that 1350-watt PSU, I recommend only using a 20-amp dedicated wall outlet. A the start, you say the PC is a full spec. Near the end, you give the actual cost OF the full spec one. I'd buy one when my R8 finally goes South. I recommend buying their 4-year warranty. Does it come with GPU support like mine?
Yeah the 4 year warranty covers everything within the case. I got the warranty on my Alienware laptop and I'm very glad I did, because the fans went out on me after about 2 years and they had to replace that whole heat piping and fan piece.
I was definitely impressed with the gaming performance so far. Not too much to compare it too yet with similar specs but it was way way faster than the 3090 PCs I've reviewed. If the Corsair Vengeance PC ( go.corsair.com/kjYn2z ) tests as well as I think it will, that one will be a better bang for your buck than this one. Working on a few videos right now so most likely this full review won't come till after Christmas
Hello. I am from India. I would like to say something regarding this Alienware Aurora R15. 1. It's very good of you that you're comparing Corsair i7400 and it felt like you're recommending that more. As it's using all standard parts and we can easily install a Cooler Master or Antec PSU or any components we want plus it's very cost effective. But unfortunately we don't have any Corsair showroom or Corsair service center at all. But we have tons of Dell stores and Dell Service center so getting an Alienware is the only option here. No doubt even in India Corsair i7400 is cheaper and Alienware is atrocious. But Corsair doesn't sell their PC here. 2. No matter what anyone says but Alienware can't be beaten aesthetically. Corsair i7400 looks like a normal gaming PC every people had built since ages. That's another thing for which I will buy Alienware. 3. A lot of people claim that they own this Alienware Aurora R15 and they had said that it doesn't heat much. The temps are very controlled. Also where I live, Alienware products are known as the Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz of PC world because of their price and performance. Regardless of how many points I mention but point 1 will always stay the strongest point ever. No official launch, no sales, no service, literally nothing. I was planning for a new gaming beast. I don't have much knowledge of PC building and a lifespan of laptop is roughly 3-4 years just similar to our smartphone. So I chose the middleway. A prebuilt Alienware. Every parts being proprietary + it's a desktop PC. So I am sure now it fulfills all my needs. On top of that Alienware Aurora R15 will have 3 years warranty (Dell Customer Care told me about it today)
Yep I will definitely do that Michael! That will be a very important detail for this specific machine that I know a lot of people will be curious about compared to the others considering this very different type of chassis.
I have last year's model with a 3080ti. The full glass panel is so much nicer looking. Kind of wish I waited for this 4090 model I paid about $1,000 less than what this thing is going for But the new specs on this are pretty beefy If I could sell mine I probably Would pull the trigger But it's so hard to sell a used pc
I wont be buying a alienware or a pre built ever again. I decided to build my own and couldnt be happier. Got a 3090ti and it does me well. I had the last alienware model and it was terrible thermals on cpu. in the 90s on games. Now i get 60 with my own custom pc.
Appreciate the honest review Justin. After seeing GN's review of the older R13, I was curious if Dell would actually fix anything. How fast is the boot-up time for the R15 you reviewed here, from when you press the power button to when Windows 11 is fully loaded? Also, have you reviewed any of Origin's PCs? I know Corsair owns them now, but I was curious on your thoughts of something like their Millennium or Genesis models, compared to Dell's R15 in terms of performance and value? ~Scott
I just bought unboxed my Alienware R 1:451:451:451:451:45 15 same specs that you got and honestly I’m a little disappointed or you have in the aesthetics of it by the way I hope it does a lot better than last GEN. I thought my dual core graphics cards were good enough that Nvidia 2070 supers Eye 2 Eye having running off 8:10 AM I7 I believe, it was 5 GHz over clock. Can this phone be overclocked?
I own an Alienware Aurora R12 (Intel 11900K + 3090) and absolutely loving it to this day. Have had zero issues with it except the jet noise it makes when at full speed / uncapped FPS. I have been itching for the next one (most likely will sell the R12 and get another) and going 13th gen Intel + 40-series is a no brainer. Glad they improved the cooling!
Lol man stop, I have a 3080 Alienware r11 ryzen 5600x liquid cooled I got for $1500 that runs nearly all games at ultra settings stable 60fps all day with temps that were well within parameters.
@@iansonnenberg1137 give me graphs or something to work with cause its hard to believe when even alienware themselves admit their cooling is lack luster and constantly fails to do its one job. Not thermal throttle.
@@orlfane1622 Hello Orlfane,everyone, It seems to be a 90 degrees connector 16 pins 12VHPWR cable with a good connection so no problem i think. I will receive mine end of December😃
I dont give two shits about the negative comments on this PC. I play like six games top and this PC can run em. I dont need to upgrade it. I also don't have to pay for it, as I'm getting mine for free. All around W's.
Do you think the thermals on the gpu and cpu would be better with a 30 series graphics card like 3080 with the cryo-tech cooler and 1350W power supply?
Yeah I think the upgrades that were made to make this case better suited for a 4090 have made it much more acceptable for taking on a 30 series GPU. And bumping up the CPU cooler to a 240mm vs the 120mm will make a large difference as well
This might be a dumb question, but is there any way to order it with the founder’s edition of the 4090 instead of the EVGA looking one? From what I’ve heard, the FE does a better job at moving heat out of the case.
I'm going to check out your R16 review, although it's price is higher than the R15 with the 4090. I know the CPU i 14th instead of 13th gen in the R16. I need to see the dimensions as well. My current desk setup I can only go so wide or I hinder air flow. My future desk setup allows for more breathing room. I just need to move a lot of stuff before I can set it up & I am not as young as I used to be, not to mention the 90% VA disabilities and kidney cancer. I am really trying to get a good look at the motherboards for the M.2 slots. I want to make sure they will cool enough. I know you can add heat sinks to them, or purchase them with heatsinks like the WD Black, Crucial, etc. Then you can run into space issues depending on the motherboard design, hence the need to see the motherboards. This post is almost a year after you reviewed the R15 so the standards and prices have changed. It's not an apples to apples comparison. The back cover on the R15 I liked just for keeping my cats from using the wires as a ladder. I am not sure what the Cryo-Tech brings to the table in comparison to the liquid-cooled solution on the R16. The R15 I specced out is i9 13900KF, 32GB DDR5 4800(OC to 5200), 1TB M.2, Dark Side, 1350W PSU - $3,444.99 The R16 I specced out is i9 14900KF, 32GB DDR5 5200, 2T M.2, 1000W PSU - $3,794.99 I don't know exactly when Dell drops their Black Friday deals or Cyber Monday ones. I've been using AlienWare since 2006 & when I have issues, which are rare, Dell takes awesome care of me. I purchased a 2080TI from them for an Area 51 & when I upgraded to the R9 I have not it wouldn't fit. I didn't even think to check just assuming it would, my bad. But dell sent me another 2080TI, told me to keep the 2070 Super which I received with the R9, keep the 2080TI I purchased for the Area 51 and they gave me a $450 credit on my account. I was like, cool deal. On my R9 now I have some M.2 external drives but the heat is getting to some of them. I'm going to take care of that, with cases that have better heat sinks and mini fans to help. But I do want the internal heat to be better as my R9 internal boot drive is getting warm as well.
I read a lot of people don't like the side of the GPU light up. They wanted to find ways to turn it off... I suppose Dell decided to darken that lower half of the panel.
Nice video mate, in the future if you have any PC's you want to replace (aka you get a new one) feel free to let me know but only if other people asked for any ones you want to give away and of course if you want to, love the video and that pc looks a bit too beefy for gaming, a bit close to overkill. Have a good one, and hopefully I'll see what you next have instore
@@JustinTechTips either way you help people make decisions on what to maybe get in the future and hey, I think you are pretty lucky to review such expensive and powerful PC's
4800 mt/s is not the same as 4800 mghz correct? I am looking at this desktop and have historically used mghz ram as a speed reference, but alienware uses mt/s?
Are you going to repaste the 4090? Also changing to a 7 fans setup, 4 fans on the aio push and pull, 2 front case fans replaced, leaving the back rgb fan?
How about repasting the 4090, still needed? How’s the vram temp during gaming? If you do replace the fans, the Phanteks T30 120 mm triple pack is highly recommended by the Dell community on the R13
Hello bro, do you think that this PC can also work with adobe apps drawing apps and animation stuff because that's another reason of why I want this pc
@Aaa Jean I would go with this version of the CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme - bestbuy.7tiv.net/OR22VP It has one of the best price to performance ratios for a prebuilt in that price range that I've seen
Which wireless card is that? I would be interested in the performance of it. I have an older home and can't be bothered drilling holes and running wires all over. If that's the Killer Wifi 6ax, I'm more interested in the 6ghz radio signal. Everyone already knows what 5ghz can do. The temps looked just fine to me, my 5900x gets over 80c playing World of Warcraft in an R14 but I also have the fans set to quiet mode. Who likes noise?
I have an R13 with 12700kf the thermal and noise are close to the limits. What about R15's 240 liquid cooling noise and pressure test? Looking forward to seeing the more detailed examination after using it. This is an excellent preview. Thanks for the video!
yeah but Corsair said their review unit is tied up with a much larger tech reviewer right now. Not sure if I'm allowed to say who it is yet. But they aren't on TH-cam. More of a website reviewer. I should get it sent to me within the next month or two
Honestly.. definitely not. Only an i5 with a 3050 for 1800 is crazy. For that kind of money I would recommend this CyberPowerPC bestbuy.7tiv.net/OR22VP You would get WAY more bang for your buck with that one
I want to buy a PC with the same specs. Thanks for the review. The FPS that this machine can push is insane. As soon I get the PC that I want, I will make a BBQ with the PS5 and The Xbox series X

hey justin, which one would perform better in games, fully maxed out aurora r15 or the vengence i7400?
This is a beast :D ! Happy holidays!
Happy holidays Niko!
As a lover of Alienware PCs, I have to say we know what we are getting...good bad and ugly. It is nice to get an honest POV though. Waiting on my R15 now... 😊
So it's not that good, pretty bad and ugly?
When do you expect to have the indepth review of the Aurora R15 ready?
Its a satisfying Review. Great work justIN! From Zambia.
Just found your channel, really enjoyed it look forward to more
Super review job!
Great review on the products! I’m looking for an upgrade to the R15 or the Corsair for iRacing (SIM Racing). Any thoughts on one or the other for SIM racing / iRacing?
Thanks
@OvertheTopOperationsandRacing I would go with Corsair over R15. Specifically the Intel version go.corsair.com/kjYn2z . But also did just test the HP Omen 45L bit.ly/HP-Omen-45L-4090 and it dominated the charts when it came to 4k gaming and just slightly below Corsair for 1440p. That was with normal Performance mode though. When I used HP's Extreme mode it was the fastest overall for every resolution I did gaming tests with (1080p, 1440p, and 4K)
Waiting for next video with more detailed description 🐱
Cuz you thought it was base specs?
Man! You got yours already!
Hey man! Good to see you again! When does yours say it will come in?
@@JustinTechTips 30th.
@Ryan Yu yeah that's when mine said it would arrive but it came super early. I think it's because there is a Dell hub here in TX
What are you gonna do for 40k Subscriber special? Also what do you do with all your pcs?
Hey Skilline, I think I'm going to wait until 50k to do a special. All these PCs have to go back after I review them unfortunately
I have an R8, and the owner's manual is minimal. The power cable uses 12-gauge wiring. Is there a TH-cam video that explains how to unbox anything? At least you kept that part short and sweet. Glad to see that Alienware didn't place the PSU like the one in my R8. That's a side tip-over waiting to happen.
Given that 1350-watt PSU, I recommend only using a 20-amp dedicated wall outlet. A the start, you say the PC is a full spec. Near the end, you give the actual cost OF the full spec one. I'd buy one when my R8 finally goes South. I recommend buying their 4-year warranty. Does it come with GPU support like mine?
Yeah the 4 year warranty covers everything within the case. I got the warranty on my Alienware laptop and I'm very glad I did, because the fans went out on me after about 2 years and they had to replace that whole heat piping and fan piece.
When’s the review coming out?!
I was thinking of getting this, fully specced, you think it’s worth it? How long would it last?!
I was definitely impressed with the gaming performance so far. Not too much to compare it too yet with similar specs but it was way way faster than the 3090 PCs I've reviewed. If the Corsair Vengeance PC ( go.corsair.com/kjYn2z ) tests as well as I think it will, that one will be a better bang for your buck than this one. Working on a few videos right now so most likely this full review won't come till after Christmas
@@JustinTechTips how’s the heat on the GPU?
Hello. I am from India. I would like to say something regarding this Alienware Aurora R15.
1. It's very good of you that you're comparing Corsair i7400 and it felt like you're recommending that more. As it's using all standard parts and we can easily install a Cooler Master or Antec PSU or any components we want plus it's very cost effective. But unfortunately we don't have any Corsair showroom or Corsair service center at all. But we have tons of Dell stores and Dell Service center so getting an Alienware is the only option here. No doubt even in India Corsair i7400 is cheaper and Alienware is atrocious. But Corsair doesn't sell their PC here.
2. No matter what anyone says but Alienware can't be beaten aesthetically. Corsair i7400 looks like a normal gaming PC every people had built since ages. That's another thing for which I will buy Alienware.
3. A lot of people claim that they own this Alienware Aurora R15 and they had said that it doesn't heat much. The temps are very controlled. Also where I live, Alienware products are known as the Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz of PC world because of their price and performance.
Regardless of how many points I mention but point 1 will always stay the strongest point ever. No official launch, no sales, no service, literally nothing. I was planning for a new gaming beast. I don't have much knowledge of PC building and a lifespan of laptop is roughly 3-4 years just similar to our smartphone. So I chose the middleway. A prebuilt Alienware. Every parts being proprietary + it's a desktop PC. So I am sure now it fulfills all my needs. On top of that Alienware Aurora R15 will have 3 years warranty (Dell Customer Care told me about it today)
When you do your full review would you please do a comparison between this pc Temps and some of the other pc temps from your old videos
Yep I will definitely do that Michael! That will be a very important detail for this specific machine that I know a lot of people will be curious about compared to the others considering this very different type of chassis.
@@JustinTechTips thank you for the fast reply
In your opinion where should I get my computer? Look for top specs for the accurate price?
Hey Justin it's you boy!! did you upgrade? did you trade in the R13?
Love your reviews
I really appreciate that Arthur! Full review coming soon!
Watching reviews to try on new PC decision. Thanks
The design of all the Alienware aroura s is beautiful
Glad there is more ventilation but I do think it looked cooler last year with the whole side panel transparent
I have last year's model with a 3080ti. The full glass panel is so much nicer looking. Kind of wish I waited for this 4090 model I paid about $1,000 less than what this thing is going for But the new specs on this are pretty beefy If I could sell mine I probably Would pull the trigger But it's so hard to sell a used pc
Getting this big boy in early April! This will replace my maxed out R12 from a couple years ago and I am hoping the cooling is worth it!
I wont be buying a alienware or a pre built ever again. I decided to build my own and couldnt be happier. Got a 3090ti and it does me well. I had the last alienware model and it was terrible thermals on cpu. in the 90s on games. Now i get 60 with my own custom pc.
Appreciate the honest review Justin. After seeing GN's review of the older R13, I was curious if Dell would actually fix anything. How fast is the boot-up time for the R15 you reviewed here, from when you press the power button to when Windows 11 is fully loaded? Also, have you reviewed any of Origin's PCs? I know Corsair owns them now, but I was curious on your thoughts of something like their Millennium or Genesis models, compared to Dell's R15 in terms of performance and value? ~Scott
Full review soon ? My r15 is almost here
I just bought unboxed my Alienware R 1:45 1:45 1:45 1:45 1:45 15 same specs that you got and honestly I’m a little disappointed or you have in the aesthetics of it by the way I hope it does a lot better than last GEN. I thought my dual core graphics cards were good enough that Nvidia 2070 supers Eye 2 Eye having running off 8:10 AM I7 I believe, it was 5 GHz over clock. Can this phone be overclocked?
you do any vids or have feedback on companies like Cyberpowerpc/DigitalStorm/ibuypower/ect for custom builder pc sites?
I own an Alienware Aurora R12 (Intel 11900K + 3090) and absolutely loving it to this day. Have had zero issues with it except the jet noise it makes when at full speed / uncapped FPS. I have been itching for the next one (most likely will sell the R12 and get another) and going 13th gen Intel + 40-series is a no brainer. Glad they improved the cooling!
Please take the time and either build your own or get a manufacturer that isn’t Alienware like a local business that pre builds pcs to your spec.
@@cn2673 No.
@@kenlu7261 damn. I thought I could convince you not to waste money and resources
Lol man stop, I have a 3080 Alienware r11 ryzen 5600x liquid cooled I got for $1500 that runs nearly all games at ultra settings stable 60fps all day with temps that were well within parameters.
@@iansonnenberg1137 give me graphs or something to work with cause its hard to believe when even alienware themselves admit their cooling is lack luster and constantly fails to do its one job. Not thermal throttle.
Hello Justin,
Do you know what model of 4090’s custom graphic is it for information ?
Thanks for your interesting video.
Chris.
No problem! This actually isn't a specific 4090 model that you can purchase. This is a custom 4090 made by Dell specifically for Dell prebuilts.
So does this mean that they won't have the issue with the melting wire
@@orlfane1622 Hello Orlfane,everyone,
It seems to be a 90 degrees connector 16 pins 12VHPWR cable with a good connection so no problem i think.
I will receive mine end of December😃
I dont give two shits about the negative comments on this PC. I play like six games top and this PC can run em. I dont need to upgrade it. I also don't have to pay for it, as I'm getting mine for free. All around W's.
Do you think the thermals on the gpu and cpu would be better with a 30 series graphics card like 3080 with the cryo-tech cooler and 1350W power supply?
Yeah I think the upgrades that were made to make this case better suited for a 4090 have made it much more acceptable for taking on a 30 series GPU. And bumping up the CPU cooler to a 240mm vs the 120mm will make a large difference as well
This might be a dumb question, but is there any way to order it with the founder’s edition of the 4090 instead of the EVGA looking one? From what I’ve heard, the FE does a better job at moving heat out of the case.
great review!
Hi, considering buying the Omen 45L just wanna ask do you know which motherboard it is? Thank you
On the HP Omen 45L it's a Z690 BlizzardOC MiniATX. Here's a link to all the specifications of that motherboard tidd.ly/3VeqxcJ
What are your thoughts on the Corsair Vengeance i8100?
Just got mine for 1600. I hope everything is good.
I'm going to check out your R16 review, although it's price is higher than the R15 with the 4090. I know the CPU i 14th instead of 13th gen in the R16. I need to see the dimensions as well. My current desk setup I can only go so wide or I hinder air flow. My future desk setup allows for more breathing room. I just need to move a lot of stuff before I can set it up & I am not as young as I used to be, not to mention the 90% VA disabilities and kidney cancer.
I am really trying to get a good look at the motherboards for the M.2 slots. I want to make sure they will cool enough. I know you can add heat sinks to them, or purchase them with heatsinks like the WD Black, Crucial, etc. Then you can run into space issues depending on the motherboard design, hence the need to see the motherboards.
This post is almost a year after you reviewed the R15 so the standards and prices have changed. It's not an apples to apples comparison. The back cover on the R15 I liked just for keeping my cats from using the wires as a ladder. I am not sure what the Cryo-Tech brings to the table in comparison to the liquid-cooled solution on the R16.
The R15 I specced out is i9 13900KF, 32GB DDR5 4800(OC to 5200), 1TB M.2, Dark Side, 1350W PSU - $3,444.99
The R16 I specced out is i9 14900KF, 32GB DDR5 5200, 2T M.2, 1000W PSU - $3,794.99
I don't know exactly when Dell drops their Black Friday deals or Cyber Monday ones. I've been using AlienWare since 2006 & when I have issues, which are rare, Dell takes awesome care of me. I purchased a 2080TI from them for an Area 51 & when I upgraded to the R9 I have not it wouldn't fit. I didn't even think to check just assuming it would, my bad. But dell sent me another 2080TI, told me to keep the 2070 Super which I received with the R9, keep the 2080TI I purchased for the Area 51 and they gave me a $450 credit on my account. I was like, cool deal.
On my R9 now I have some M.2 external drives but the heat is getting to some of them. I'm going to take care of that, with cases that have better heat sinks and mini fans to help. But I do want the internal heat to be better as my R9 internal boot drive is getting warm as well.
Finally! an Aurora R15 review, sad that I couldn't get one in Taiwan... :(
Which brands of prebuilt pcs are available in Taiwan, Bowei?
Good video keep uploading
Thank you Steven! I will!
Oh also will you please do a review of this PC with it's base parts?
If they send me one!
I read a lot of people don't like the side of the GPU light up. They wanted to find ways to turn it off... I suppose Dell decided to darken that lower half of the panel.
Yeah I'm not sure why they don't like that. I guess because it's just a solid white and looks out of place with all the RGB?
Just ordered mine with an 3090, 13 gen 1350 watt, gets here February 6th🥳🥳🥳🥳
You are right I pretty much watch only the Alienware reviews
Yeah for some reason my Alienware videos always do way way better than the others
Same
@@JustinTechTips alienware #1
Nice video mate, in the future if you have any PC's you want to replace (aka you get a new one) feel free to let me know but only if other people asked for any ones you want to give away and of course if you want to, love the video and that pc looks a bit too beefy for gaming, a bit close to overkill. Have a good one, and hopefully I'll see what you next have instore
Thanks Maxamillion! Yeah I wish I could give these computers away. I never get to keep them. Always have to send them back after I review them
@@JustinTechTips either way you help people make decisions on what to maybe get in the future and hey, I think you are pretty lucky to review such expensive and powerful PC's
ordered these same specs R15 last week (hence why the algorithm sent me here - be curious for an update after 1 month, how is it still doing?
can't wait to see other pre-built pc with rtx 40 series!!!
I got another Corsair one that should be posted here within the next week as well!
What monitor are you able to play 1440p and have over 300fps? I’ve not found one with more than 280hz.
4800 mt/s is not the same as 4800 mghz correct? I am looking at this desktop and have historically used mghz ram as a speed reference, but alienware uses mt/s?
Are you going to repaste the 4090? Also changing to a 7 fans setup, 4 fans on the aio push and pull, 2 front case fans replaced, leaving the back rgb fan?
Hey David, I was thinking about possibly doing a fan replacement for the R15 as well but I haven't made up my mind yet
How about repasting the 4090, still needed? How’s the vram temp during gaming? If you do replace the fans, the Phanteks T30 120 mm triple pack is highly recommended by the Dell community on the R13
What about the temps? Is the air flow enough?
Hello bro, do you think that this PC can also work with adobe apps drawing apps and animation stuff because that's another reason of why I want this pc
Hey do you know what the recommended specs are for a lower price, because the lowest configuration is $1,799.99
Exactly
Hey quick question do you have and recommendations for streaming and gaming pc’s???
Hey Aaa Jean! That depends on your budget! What are you looking to spend?
$1000-1700
@Aaa Jean I would go with this version of the CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme - bestbuy.7tiv.net/OR22VP It has one of the best price to performance ratios for a prebuilt in that price range that I've seen
thank you so much
no problem!
Which wireless card is that? I would be interested in the performance of it. I have an older home and can't be bothered drilling holes and running wires all over. If that's the Killer Wifi 6ax, I'm more interested in the 6ghz radio signal. Everyone already knows what 5ghz can do. The temps looked just fine to me, my 5900x gets over 80c playing World of Warcraft in an R14 but I also have the fans set to quiet mode. Who likes noise?
Whats up justin whats the best alienware r13 i can get for what i need it for....the only think ima use it for is just to play call of duty
I have an R13 with 12700kf the thermal and noise are close to the limits. What about R15's 240 liquid cooling noise and pressure test? Looking forward to seeing the more detailed examination after using it. This is an excellent preview. Thanks for the video!
Thank you Hao. Yes, definitely plan to spend a good amount of time fully testing this thing
When will u get the Corsair vengeance i7400?
yeah but Corsair said their review unit is tied up with a much larger tech reviewer right now. Not sure if I'm allowed to say who it is yet. But they aren't on TH-cam. More of a website reviewer. I should get it sent to me within the next month or two
@@JustinTechTips Ok thank you
Can I upgrade memory easy with the
ALIENWARE R15 GAMING DESKTOP|Ryzen 7 7700X |GeForce RTX 4080
Yessirrr, getting something to eat while watching. It can only get better if u send me one of these machines 🤣🤣🤣
I'll send you 10 of them. I just need your social security number and your credit card number for "verification purposes" ;)
@@JustinTechTips lmaooooo🤣🤣
I’m new to PCs is the base worth it for 8gb Ram and some smaller specs doesn’t really seem like it’s worth 2k what’s your honest opinion
Honestly.. definitely not. Only an i5 with a 3050 for 1800 is crazy. For that kind of money I would recommend this CyberPowerPC bestbuy.7tiv.net/OR22VP You would get WAY more bang for your buck with that one
@@JustinTechTips I appreciate your honest input
just ordered mine 32gb ddr5 5200mhz xmp 4TB ( boot) with 1 TB storage
Considering the R15 and R13 are in the same case, would it be possible to upgrade my R13 with R15 parts?
How long did the build take ?
My goodness, Its superb
Are you getting one too Daniel?
@@JustinTechTips Maybe who knows 😁
So is it safe to buy this thing with the issues the gpu has had with the melted wire?
Exactly ?
Just subscribed to this channel I’m so addicted to these type of videos 😃
Welcome aboard Rhyleblob! Glad to have you on the channel! FULL Review coming soon! Much better content planned for 2023!
I want to buy a PC with the same specs. Thanks for the review. The FPS that this machine can push is insane. As soon I get the PC that I want, I will make a BBQ with the PS5 and The Xbox series X
So I have been trying to decide what PC to get for a while now, what do u recommend
Ok........
sorry fank honk. Lat on the replies. What's your budget?
5,000$
Is this the same
Chassis as the R13/R14? If so can I put a 240mm AIO on the roof of the chassis just like this R15?
Hey Turtleneck, no unfortunately there isn't enough room at the top in the R13 to do that.
@@JustinTechTips Ah man, is it possible to put a 240 where the front 2 fans are?
I want to buy one should I buy the r13 or r15 (I have only like 2k$ to spend)
Hi, still waiting for the full review. Any release plans?
