Mine came in yesterday and I really like it. This is the first pre-built I have bought in years and I am impressed. It wasn't overpriced and it came with a fantastic warranty.
Hi Ryan saw some of your previous vids. I love my R16. It's my first desktop in a long time. I needed a PC asap for my return to college for SWE and building wasn't an option. My school had some Dell discounts, so I was originally looking at the R15, I was hesitant because the cooling issues... then boom the R16 dropped so I am an early adopter too. Mine came in around 8/7, I went with a 4070ti/i7 13th gen and I regret the 16gb of ram, I swapped already to 32gb and no more bottlenecks, this machine is amazing.
@@Overbuilt.Gaming @RyanYu I went with the Corsair Vengence DDR5 5600mhz. There is an issue here, the ram is at 4800mhz and I am ok with that but other may not be. I didn't do the XMP profile because I don't want potential warranty issues. From what I read in forums, xmp is technically overclocking above the default. Don't quote me I am new to this space lol.

I've had my R16 about a week. I love it. The only issues I have are: 1) the AWCC in-game overlay causes stuttering in Diablo3 and Grim Dawn so you have to disable the in-game overlay AND close AWCC then it stops. 2) When the system is idle you can hear what sounds like a feint grinding noise of fans starting and stopping but it's not the case fans, I think it's the psu fans. My R15's also did this. You have to really listen for it, as it's not audible from like 3 or 4ft away. Can't wait for your review. Watched your R13 review a few times.
@@RyanYu See if you can capture that audible noise in your full review. idk what it is, I've had 4 of the R15's pass through here over the last 6 months (All 13900kf/4090 systems, both new and on the outlet mall) and I've sent them all back because of that. At least the R16 it isn't as loud but it is present. Also dealing with support was no help for me. I would love to know what it is. If you have it on the desktop you can easily hear it, if you put it on the floor not so much.
The usual E-waste peripherals were included. Other than that, I'm mostly glad that Dell now knows that the conventional rectangle box model is ideal. I didn't really like that the front part of the case, airflow still looked minimal.
Nice video, thanks for showing us the unboxing. I like the new case design but I don't love it. While I appreciate minimalistic design I think they perhaps went a little too minimal with this one, which ironically is the opposite of what Alienware was going for when they first started as a company. Courtesy of Dell and the modern design team behind AW's products we now have understated, borderline corporate-looking pieces of technology that are rather underwhelming from a visual standpoint. I understand that prior gen Aurora cases were a hassle for people to deal with due its awkward design/tilt, but at least they looked awesome from an aesthetic standpoint. All that to say though, I can appreciate the benefits of the new R16's case design. My only true frustration is that they eliminated the internal RGB. The prior gen internal RGB was awesome (the Alienware handle, the liquid cooler, etc) - it made the internals look like some kind of alien incubation chamber. One of these days when we're far, far removed from prior gen Aurora case design I might pick one up on the secondary market just to enjoy that awesome side profile.
Thank you for the unboxing video. I have the R16. The right cover, where "aurora" is embossed does not have a plastic film. I have seen some unboxing videos where it had a plastic film. Mine does not look used. Is this a cuase for concern?
Thanks for showing us this. Mine came in today, but the sales person told me I could switch out the network card for a 10gbs network card for the 10gbs network I have at home for video and photography editing. There is not spare slot and the network card is built on the motherboard. Don't every believe your sales person.
Alienware sells it as more quiet and cooler than the r15. As you already own an R15, really looking for a proper benchmark on those and on performance of course. Im currently running an r11 and looking for a change.
idk if you can find a proper review comparing apples to apples. The R16 highest end you can get atm is a 13900F and a 4070ti. I doubt many R15's were sold in that configuration as idk if the R15 is available with an F processor. I can tell you the R16 will be much better than the R11 was. I game at ultrawide 3440x1440 locked at 100fps most games. In Grim Dawn I am below 40c for both cpu/gpu with video maxxed out. Diablo3/4/WoW it stays in low 50s. D3 graphics are maxxed out, D4 it's on the 'high' preset, and wow is on preset #7. My R16 config is the i7 13700f/4070ti and 16gb of 5600 ddr5. Hope this helps.
Thanks to both. I dont really care about how it looks tbh. I live in a small place with very close rooms. And i want it to be as silent as it can be. Any input on that? I game on an ultrawide as well at 3800x1600. Thanks
@@Cendrecoeur1989 I think the $1949 usd model will be just fine for you. That is the one I have here. If you get it and don't like it, you got 30 days where you can just return it and they don't ask any questions.
Mine is now 7mos old. Was getting constant game crashes and web browsers would crash, even got the "blue screen" about 3 times. Dell is sending a tech out to replace the processor. Should've went with the AMD but I got the Intel i9. Evidently, Dell got a bad batch for these and there is a LOT of them going out or causing issues.
How much better is the r16 compared to the r10 in the cooling department, cause my r10 sounds like they got the jet sounds from topgun maverick when I play most games 😂
It is way better. In D3/Grim Dawn my temps are below 50c and that is 3440x1440 and max settings and 100fps cap. In WoW HC Classic PTR my temps are about 42-45c and is on setting #7.
Hey is it actually possible to place another fan there above the front intake one? I’m new to this and would like to know if I could do it in the future. (Even though this system stays very cool under intense gaming, may not be needed but always helps!)
Hi. I just got mine at home and it came with a non transparent side panel.. I mean the panel is glass like thing but inside there's a aluminium panel and the internal lights are not visible outside. What to do to remove that aluminium panel inside?
Another question: the noise level recordings at the end of the video : there's one at around 40 dBA and another at around 36 dBA. Whats the difference between the two ? Is 40 during gaming ? Waiting for the full review :)
I might be wrong, but I think it has to due with the fact that if they start putting the higher end GPU's in the R16 right at release, no one would be buying the R15. They probably want to clear out that stock before they put those GPU's in the R16. That's just a guess though.
What re the better gpus then the 4070 im new to all this and isnt that 4070 the newest one or sum isnt the 4090 a lil older but somehow better how does that stuff work
The old aurora makes it more Alienware, r16 version just looks like the average boxy pc case on the market. I mean, it's the right approach, but lose the Alienware aesthetic
I just got one myself as a gift from someone. This is my first high end Desktop and im equally excited and nervous. Im curious more about how the luquid cooling works and if it needs maintaince?
The fact that they simply decided not to put another fan on the top front is just the biggest head scratch. Nevertheless, I’m sure you could just buy your own for 20 bucks or so. Besides, it’ll look a lot cooler with the lights.
What is it you're wanting to upgrade? On these systems you can upgrade / change everything except for the following: Power Supply, Case, Motherboard. For the GPU you want to make sure whatever you install will fit, and the memory you'll want to make sure it's a compatible kit so you run at the right speeds.
They removed the other fan headers that were in the R13/15. Even though you have the space to stick another 120 in the front they chose not to do it. smh. Also, no RGB on the radiator fans. Pretty much worse than the dang R13/15.
Performance wise and temp wise it's almost identical. My R16 is the 13700F/4070ti version and my temps are in the 40s/50s for both cpu and gpu. I agree, the top rad fans should have had the RGB treatment just like the rear exhaust fan.
@@Overbuilt.Gaming I need to see some benchmarks to compare to my r13. I think it’s a really bad idea to leave out the second from intake fan. Also would like to see how much they’ve throttled the power limits on the cpu and gpu. What options are in the bios?
Looks aight . Too bad they don't give their/us customers the full potential of the hardware. I'm sure its a good gaming rig as my old r11, still performing like a champ by the way but not at it full potential because of the size of the case and temps. To me with this R16 its more for kids and not adults. They are still not listening to us. P e a c e O u t
Same box as the R13 and R15 with even more proprietary parts. No Cyro Tech cooling, no XMP and no top of the range CPU or GPU. This not an Alienware product worthy of the name. Its no more than an XPS with fancy lighting.
There isn't even that much lighting. The top radiator fans should be rgb and it would fill out the middle. I don't mind plain Jane systems though, and the performance is really good in my testing.
The Design is ugly than R15 or R13, and they actually White Colour is much Beautiful colour but they remove White, only left this Black, i rather go for ROG
Cut the crap, this is not an Alienware. Looks like something an Intern conjured up during his summer stint. Dell not even trying anymore. I can get something similar at Staples for under 1K.
Ya bro show us how it's done! FWIW a 4070ti is $800+ and a 1000w platinum psu is another $200. So grats on going to Staples and getting 2 parts I guess.
@@Overbuilt.Gaming To do what with, play rebuit/remastered games from 2 decades ago. You can literally buy a 300 pc from Staples and get a GTX 1070 card and play all the games that are currently on the market today. Now if you are watching the "FPS" (spitting all over myself) and not gaming, then you need to spend at least $9000 bucks to get the ideal PC to suit your FPS fix.
Very plasticky and very boring compact looking design. A departure from the previous model. They improved on the thermals and ventilation, but the design does not scream Alienware. It looks like a $500 generic desktop from Wal Mart. The previous model looked a lot better imo.
You didn't mention the cheap green ram or the flimsy motherboard that won't fit in anything except their overdesigned plastic case. How about the power supply that doesn't even use standard ATX jacks, so it only plugs into their crappy frankenboard. Putting the front I/O directly on the motherboard is the most blatant example of engineered obsolescence I've ever seen. It's more of the same hot proprietary garbage from Dell! When the cheap motherboard dies, you can reuse the CPU and GPU if the MB doesn't take those out. The RAM is garbage, so you don't even want to reuse that. It all goes to landfill, which is where it belongs in the first place. Dude, you got a Dell!?😂
Alienware has gone downhill ever since nelson sold it to Dell. It lost its special boutique-ness. Laptops and monitors are still okay....but that's about it
Yeah? Do you say the same thing about Origin PC when they sold to Corsair? Did you see the video Gamers Nexus did? I'm glad you're an expert, maybe you should make videos on YT and we'll just watch you instead!!!
Got mine just a few days ago loving it. Flight Sim and DCS have never looked so good. I got the top spec with the 4090.

The R16 is really price friendly, but it lose its Alienware identity because this boring look...
@@RyanYu Well the good thing is; is that it's the same MB from the R15 and it's very fast. Also stable. Congrats @williamboyette8205 on the purchase!
Thats the only thing that's putting me off it only comes with a 1 year warranty
I really think 1,299$ for 4060 pre built alienware overpriced

Alienware should put more effort into design the case better. It doesn't have that Alienware's aesthetic. Newer one looks boring.

You didn't mention the cheap green ram or the flimsy motherboard that won't fit in anything except their overdesigned plastic case. How about the power supply that doesn't even use standard ATX jacks, so it only plugs into their crappy frankenboard. Putting the front I/O directly on the motherboard is the most blatant example of engineered obsolescence I've ever seen. It's more of the same hot proprietary garbage from Dell!
When the cheap motherboard dies, you can reuse the CPU and GPU if the MB doesn't take those out. The RAM is garbage, so you don't even want to reuse that. It all goes to landfill, which is where it belongs in the first place.
Dude, you got a Dell!?😂
It's so dark in the case anyway, so you won't noticed that green S that easily. haha.
Easy to replace the ram if you want to. I got 16gb but ordered a 32gb kit
At the time of my comment 11 months ago it wasn’t offered and it still Boring looking.
这速度 牛逼
你也挺牛逼， 我今天发 你就来了。哈。怎么样 这届外星人。。。可以改名叫地球人了。。

@@RyanYu what .,. :(
Alienware has gone downhill ever since nelson sold it to Dell. It lost its special boutique-ness. Laptops and monitors are still okay....but that's about it
Yeah? Do you say the same thing about Origin PC when they sold to Corsair? Did you see the video Gamers Nexus did? I'm glad you're an expert, maybe you should make videos on YT and we'll just watch you instead!!!
still grinding.
Still too little ventilation, especially up front, and I cannot wait to see the garbage proprietary nonsense they did inside.
Lol. But, overall it performs pretty good.
