Upgraded cooling makes the Aurora R15 shine brighter than before in Alienware's mostly static desktop lineup.
Alienware Aurora R15 MSRP $1,650.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “Upgraded cooling and next-gen components bring the Alienware Aurora R15 up to the level of the best gaming desktops” Pros Cons The Alienware design has become iconic, but it hasn’t always aligned with recent trends in PC building, which is why it’s slowly fallen off of the list of the best desktops.
Those prices are on top of the base price you’re spending for an RTX 3050 as well, so it’s hard to see that as much more than inflating the price . Combined with heatsinks on the motherboard and additional vents in the case, the Aurora R15 runs much cooler and quieter than the previous generation. Even under a demanding Cinebench load or Cyberpunk 2077 run, the Aurora R15 stayed just as quiet as the HP Omen 45L, which means it’s barely noticeable. The CPU stayed cool, too, peaking at around 87 degrees Celsius. That’s chilly for Intel’s latest flagship.
That doesn’t mean it’s easy to access. Alienware locks most of your components down with brackets and plastic tabs that are designed for a service technician and not a DIY PC enthusiast. Simple tasks like removing the graphics card involves several steps in the Aurora R15, and you’ll often have to remove several components to access others. It’s all possible, just not ideal.
Flagship processor performance With an Intel Core i9-13900KF, 32GB of DDR5, and an RTX 4090, it’s no surprise that the Aurora R15 is a monster for productivity performance. Compared to last-gen’s Core i9-12900K in the HP Omen 45L, the newer processor dominates in multi-core operations and comes with a significant boost to single-core speed.
The same was true in Cyberpunk 2077 and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, though to a lesser degree. The processor inside the Alienware Aurora R15 is likely boosting the performance here, as well Dell’s excellent thermal management. Frustrating software Although extra software is usually a bad thing, Alienware isn’t too intrusive on the Aurora R15. Non-intrusive doesn’t mean helpful, though, and that’s where the Aurora R15 struggles.
