Review on Dell Alienware Aurora R10 Gaming Desktop: AMD Ryzen 9 3900, 32GB DDR4, 1TB SSD, RX 5700 XT 8GB - Lunar Light by Eric Dailey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very very noisy fans (TOP and FRONT) - RX 5700 XT GPU has serious stuttering issues

Worked with DELL support on fan noise which is said to be normal. Fans at 53% running at medium load were so busy that the wife could hear it from across the house. After DELL didn't replace the fans with lower dBA fans, I decided to return this PC. However, I wanted to play a few of my games to see if it's worth using different hardware on a different computer. The RX 5700 XT GPU was found to have serious stuttering issues that AMD hasn't addressed. Alienware was a great source for gaming computers or just high-end PCs back then. From what I have seen and read, this is no longer the case. All I can say is look at this PC and the components installed. I gave an overall grade of 2 because the processor/motherboard/memory/SSD are great and I have nothing bad to say about them. The rest is not worth it and the problem is that DELL will not do anything to solve this problem. Also note that if you choose to purchase other fans, DELL does not support it and may void your warranty. Thank you very dissatisfied buyer.
