      @@Ttv6cono9 Maybe ditch the 10+ year old case rather than remove the cladding and allow for better air flow. This is a tiny step forward and the competition is way ahead. Look at cases like the Fractal Design torrent for air flow or Corsair 7000D for liquid cooling capacities. Then wonder why they talk cooling here but don't offer anything outside of the x7xx series.

      Less proprietary parts, for example. Who and why builds the front USB ports right on the motherboard? Apparently, a dedicated PCB costs a fortune to make. Also, what's the deal with the PSU, why it has such a weird shape? Hope it's ATX12VO at least, not that proprietary Dell's 8 or 6-pin connector...

      The cheap and inefficient case, mobo, ram, cooling are the biggest problems. The case is better, but still not anywhere near where it should be. Still not nearly enough airflow. Just use a mesh front and 3 fans... simple stuff, it's 2023 not 2011. Why is the mobo still a dumb custom design and dimension. Cheap looking mobo and ram. Not enough fans to get proper airflow, and a 280mm rad should be the minimum for modern flagship cpus. They're just thermal throttling themselves it's kinda funny.

      @@pathtoball4677 And yet, despite it all, the systems DO work and are reliable often times with benchmarks beating the class average. Laptops thermal throttle depending on model, the desktops if liquid cooled I assure you absolutely do not throttle on CPU or GPU. I know for a fact they do not. There is trade off on prebuilts, you settle for less theoretical quality but at the same time you cannot begin to ensure the components picked off the shelf and put together don’t have subtle incompatibilities. Dell and others have test runs which stress test all the components in tandem over thousands of load conditions to ensure stability. The custom motherboard is part of that btw. Instability is just higher in home builds on average. I have used both since about 1991, I know intimately this is true, there is a legit argument for prebuilt, even Dells Alienware line.

      But yes, those are all wery important parts dont you think, mb/psu. When this pc is 5 years old what hapens if mb or psu desides to quit on you? How do you get a new one, when the waranty is expired? And at what cost if you can find one? What if you deside to upgrade cpu family in 5 years? Can you do so? No cuz mb and psu is proprietary.
      So solution to all this is what alienware wants you to do, buy a new pc. Problem is it is waistfull, off your money and the enviroment.
      I know it is a worn out record at this point. And I like the steps alienware toulk with the r16, even if babysteps. But Having a pc with atx and normal, nonpriprietary mb/psu/case/ram might not make a diference right now. But in a few years, maybe with the second owner at that point, the nonproprietary parts is the diferense between if it goes to the landfill or not.
      I have had the same pc, (built it myself) for 6 years. Have changed most parts in it, only the case remains. But every part I have changed along the way has gone in to some other pc, mine, my sisters, or random facebook marketplace guy's pc. No waist.
      Unfortunatley non of that is posible when proprietary parts, even if it is only the mb and psu. So alot of this pc's parts will be ewaist in a few years.

    I've always admired the Alienware brand for their unique product designs. From their laptops and desktops, to their monitors, they tend to feature a lot of curves, a variety of textures, and cleverly placed lighting that truly make their products look like they're of extraterrestrial origin. Its still a really cool looking case, but i agree with the others that it is a more conventional design taking on standard rectangle dimensions and a smoked glass window.

  • @maskana

    This was a very interesting explanatory video.
    I am aware that the CPU cooling was not perfect in R15. Is the CPU cooling in R16 using the same parts as in R15?
    I am waiting for R16 to be released in Japan as soon as possible.

    • @nickierv13
      @nickierv13 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      The issue with the R15 isn't the cooling, its with the power. The only review with a useful benchmark uses a 13900KF, so I will use the same CPU but the trend holds for the 13700K/KF in the R15. And I can't see it somehow being different for the 13600K either. 13900KF should be running P cores at 5.2GHz and E cores at 4.3GHz. And that is allowed to go higher with better cooling. The R15 runs the 13900KF at 4.4GHz for the P cores and 3.4GHz for the E cores.
      Technically the thermals/240mm cooler is fine but the CPU is running 15-20% under what it should be. For a normal 13900K a 240mm cooler is just on the edge of being fine, if you live in a cold area and keep your room chilly you should be fine. If it gets warm (21C+) probably not and a 280/260mm cooler will be better. Plus the CPU can run faster with better cooling.

    Kind dig the new design, but come on.. No one likes proprietary parts, ditch the cheapo proprietary motherboard.. 12 phase VRM is nothing spectacular and its kind of funny that he was kind of implying that 4 pin PWM fan headers are some kind of "new and exciting tech exclusive to this computer!!!" also it could use another 2 or so USB type A on the rear and definitely a type c on the front.

    I purchased a new R10 Ryzen last year but would love to get my hands on an R14 case to get that nice see-through side panel. Did managed to cure airflow issues in the R10 though by running Noctua Cromax NF12 x 25 fans with two running intake and 2 more on a push/pull on the radiator. Temps are high 60 / low 70s (on a hot day) with that config.

  • @jassassine6973

    Imo, this is a step in the right direction. Alienware has always been an interesting brand to watch as they develop new technologies from model to model. However, I decided to go the route of choosing my own parts... Saved a lot of money by choosing a 12th Gen and a 30 series... Most importantly non-proprietary components allowing a future upgrade path to 13th, 14th Gen as well as 40 and 50 series upgrades if/when needed. If you guys removed proprietary parts, you could/would have a larger slice of the parts-picker market allowing others to buy Alienware components like Msi, Corsair, Gigabyte and many others that help add choices to our Rigs etc. Cheers - Jass.

    it's a lot better than before but could still use improvements, 2 fans as intake on the front, give us a mesh front. Gamers love RGB need some RGB RAM, and some on the AIO. Also LCD screens is the new thing, Like the Corsair and NZXT or ASUS, need a LCD AIO. Or at least some RGB on the CPU cap for AIO and RGB fans. Is the AIO removable? Or even just the fans. Also a seperate headphone and mic jack on the front would be nice. But this is a step in the right direction, with room for improvement.

    that case is just crying out for some more front ventilation. it would be really cool to move to an all mesh front panel to allow for better intake + positive pressure. those VRMs and the SSD will need more cool air, especially with the AIO not providing any airflow for them (like air cooling would).
    i'm still rocking an alienware aurora r7 with an AIO & taking off the plastic housing + adding two noctua nf-p12 intake fans improves so much.
    also what is with the proprietary long motherboard design? it kills any upgradability or case swap down the line. proprietary parts just end up as e-waste down the line

    Will Alienware desktops ever have Thunderbolt? I know the laptops have it, but the big thing putting me off from buying the desktop is that there's no Thunderbolt. I know cost wise to get licensing for the technology + proprietary motherboard makes it difficult, but it'd be huge if on the next iteration of the motherboard it's included in some way, even just for one port because I think that's what most people need, and what I need as well

    • @musicalhistory4392

      Except they’re not listening. It’s the same metal frame chassis. They’re still using a proprietary motherboard and PSU. They did the bare minimum. They just stripped all the plastic off the same metal frame they have been using so they could save money. You can tell they’re not confident in the design because they don’t even let you select top-end parts for either the CPU or GPU on the website. It’s a bare minimum attempt.
