Alienware Aurora R16 Desktop Computer Unboxing and Setup

[@SteveFlanigan]

Mine was just delivered this morning, (at work.) Can't wait to get home to unbox it and set it up for my flight simulator.

[@RandyCAstleMPM]

Awesome! What graphics card did you get?

@@SteveFlanigan do you like it? I just ordered the same (super)

[@Anonymous-nq2zc]

Hell yeah man, love the video and appreciate the time you put into this. I’m on KZbin watching up on this pc and setup. Since mine just shipped and will be here Friday. Coming from a ps5, this is a big step up and my first gaming desktop pc ever!

[@RandyCAstleMPM]

Thanks bro, appreciate yo watching. It's a great pc, your gonna love it!

[@noahholt5913]

Mine will be here in a couple of days! Very excited!

[@RonaldBrown59]

Congrats on the new computer, it looks great. You'll ripping through that 4k 60fps video during your editing sessions.

[@RandyCAstleMPM]

Thanks Ron! It works great! I can scrub in full uhd and it's smooth. I exported this video I think it's 26 mins long in under 6 minutes. Laptop would have taken 45-50 mins Very happy with it. Gyroflow exports very fast also.

You have good taste . I got the Aurora R16 about 8 months ago but its the I7 model. I got the AW510k keyboard also with both lunar light and Dark side of Moon models . I sometimes change them out for my desktop setup. I remeber the day I ordered the Aurora R16 , slid on over to Newegg and ordered Some Tforce RGB ram and another NVME SSD. It all managed to arrive at the same time . Of course Alienware Command Center cannot control the RGB of the ram,but I found that Asus Armory Crate can control the RGB for the Ram, SO whatever color I set for the Aurora R16 ,i go into Armory Crate to set a matching color on the Ram.

[@RandyCAstleMPM]

Appreciate the info on the Ram! I love this thing, def a beast. I am having an issue with the RGB on the cause and keyboard. The Alienware Command Center isnt recognizing them. And the mouse doesn't light up on its own anymore. Just the alien head on the mouse. When I pull up the AWCC there's only the pc no option for the mouse or keyboard.

It's a beast! I exported this video (a 4k vid) in under 6 min. My old laptop would have taken close to an hr. Very smooth scrubbing on the editing timeline. No stutters. Love it 👍, ❤

nice desktop. You will enjoy when you tackle your first PC build.

[@RandyCAstleMPM]

I totally agree! Thanks homie. I def will! I might have to hop in on a sesh sometime 🫵🤘

[@kiillabytez]

In almost every unboxing, everyone always lays it on it's side and then slide it out sideways. Next time, try gently placing the box, open-end down on the flat surface, and then lift the box up off the computer. It's much easier that way.

[@RandyCAstleMPM]

That's actually a great idea, I'll try that for the next one. Thanks for the tip!

[@kiillabytez]

@@RandyCAstleMPM It's not like I had a physics degree or anything. Sometimes I'm just too logical for my own good. It's just that you don't fight with the box and struggle less the other way. Gravity.

[@coasterlover-r1k]

i got the one with the 4070ti and the i9 14900f with 512gb and 16gb but i upgraded the ram and ssd :) hope u are still having fun with it

Can I connect one desktop to my Alienware laptop If i buy desktop

[@laoch5658]

The best aurora since dell took over

[@feeterican]

I got my first Alienware back in 2004 and it was the year before Dell bought them. It was an ok PC and that being said there was something wrong with the GPU. Every time I tried to update the Nvidia driver's games no longer played for more than a few seconds. The way around this was to get an 8800GT and the PC worked great for 2 years and then I built a new PC myself and that one lasted 10 years. I still have that Alienware GPU (aka EVGA) 7800GTX original GPU displayed on my desk for the worst GPU ever made.

[@RandyCAstleMPM]

Alienware has def come a long way. their thermals are much better. This was my very first desktop, so I didn't wanna dive into building one before I learned all I can. I will build one at some point. This one works great for now. 🤘

[@aciditywormhole9898]

I just bought the R16 4090. Just like you, it’s my first PC since the 90’s. I’ve been playing PlayStation since the PS1. I’m wondering, how easy is the setup for graphics and all that to max out everything for gaming? I’m a noob at this.

[@trueballerw]

Got the same how'd you figure it out?

[@weijielin9776]

What's its noise level when idle.

[@RandyCAstleMPM]

Not sure the exact dB but I can barely hear it.

[@zzzBABA-YAGAzzz]

Ok can anyone have ANY SUGGESTIONS ON R16 MANUEL FAN CURVE SETTINGS. THERES SILENT BALANCED THEN PERFORMANCE BUT STILL GIVES ME PROBLEMS AND IM TRYING DO CUSTOM FAN CURVES. IM READING REDDIT POSTS ONLY WAY REPLACE THE CRAPPY COOLER AND ADD 2100 RPM FANS AND KEEP AT PERFORMANCE MODE IS THE ONLY THING ONLINE THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. AND ADD ONE MORE FAN FRONT AND BACK TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

[@zzzBABA-YAGAzzz]

I only bought this from someone ONLY BECAYSE I WANTED HIS 149000KF CPU CHIP. He Hated it so MUCH he took the 4090 and gave me the rest. So I added my 3080 ti FE. But I hate the fact that I'm running around 80 temp my previous build is way cooler always at 40 to 50 lol.

[@zzzBABA-YAGAzzz]

But now the problem is every so often I Just CRASH AT RANDOM MOMENTS DURING GAMING AND DRIVING ME NUTS

[@Agent-t9p]

Is it worth getting?

[@RandyCAstleMPM]

Imo yess! It's fast, quiet. I don't tmdo a whole lot of gaming m, primarily video editing and it's smooth. I can scrub in full HD no issues. Exports lightning fast and is overall very fast to use. Looks kool too. Has just the right amount of rgb imo.

[@Agent-t9p]

@@RandyCAstleMPM cool I’m getting the 4070 version 🙏🏼

[@AvrgAvGeek01]

Can this run msfs 2020-24 good?

[@RandyCAstleMPM]

It would def run a Flight Sim. This thing is a beast!
