Why choose this product

• The Alienware Aurora is engineered for exceptional performance with a streamlined, minimal design. This generation of Aurora desktops focuses on reducing acoustics while maintaining airflow, making it a perfect gaming system for any setting.
• Modern design with a matte “basalt black” finish in an optimised chassis with customisable AlienFX lighting zones, including the striking stadium lighting. Available with a Clear Side Panel for showing off the internal components, with the elevated Legend 3 industrial design.
• An array of hexagonally shaped vents enables passive air intake supporting graphics performance and quieter acoustics.
• Our Legend 3 design is echoed by the overall compact and functional size of the system, which is about 40% smaller by volume than the previous design and up to 53% smaller than the Area-51.
• Seamless internal cable management reduces obstruction of airflow and keeps thermals efficiently managed.
• High performance front ports enable great connectivity and two of the USB ports include PowerShare technology which lets you easily power your favourite external devices even while the system is shut down.
• Our design prioritises airflow efficiency and improved acoustics by introducing larger passageways and optimised internal cable management resulting in 20% quieter operation, on average, and 7% lower temperatures compared to the Aurora R15. This approach – combined with liquid cooling CPU option – contributes to an incredibly smooth gaming experience.
• Central to the Aurora thermal strategy is the increase in its ventilation’s total surface area. This increase is the driving force behind the desktop’s efficient airflow, cooling and acoustics.

  Optimised airflow strategy
  The side hexagonal array, top surface exhaust, and the front stadium intake all provide significantly larger pathways for ambient air to enter and heat to be exhausted.

  240mm heat exchanger
  The 240mm heat exchanger, available on the CPU liquid cooling, heightens thermal resistance, ensuring temperatures stay consistently low during longer gaming sessions.

  Updated heat exchanger fans
  Revamped 240mm heat exchanger fans are designed to be smoother in angle and shape, making airflow more efficient with less fan noise.
