INCREDIBLY IMMERSIVE. INTENTIONALLY INGENIOUS.

Every detail of the legendary Alienware battle station is designed to heighten and excite your senses for the most immersive gaming experiences possible. That’s why every click, press, sound and frame work together to take you deeper in the game than you ever imagined.

RAISING THE BAR ONCE AGAIN

Enhanced overclocking: The latest generation of the Aurora is engineered for up to 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors capable of speeds of up to 4.7GHz on turbo across all eight cores without overclocking. Elevate your performance with customized overclocking on the optional K-series processors through the Alienware Command Center software.

Made for multitasking:

With up to 128GB of overclockable high performance XMP DDR4 memory, there’s no limit to what all you can do at one time. The Aurora R12 can double as a gaming content editing system or gamers can stream and record while chatting and looking up guides during game play.

Imposing power:

Our new 80 PLUS Gold rated optional 1000W and 550W power supplies have been selected to power the latest graphics technologies. Engineered for exceptional levels of power efficiency, the 1000W power supply delivers incredible overall performance thanks to a highly efficient signal going into each of your components.

INNOVATIVE GRAPHICS POWER, AIRFLOW, AND COOLING

The Alienware Aurora offers optional custom graphics designs based on NVIDIA’s 2nd Gen RTX architecture. These custom designs are made with extensive thermals and an innovative airflow pattern engineered to prioritize graphics performance while complementing the Aurora chassis airflow as well.

Extensive cooling

Our thermal design includes quad 10mm copper heat pipes with integrated vapor chambers – our largest diameter heat pipe design to date – designed for exceptional gaming performance.

Innovative airflow

Another added boost for graphics performance is made possible by a dual-axial fan design with positive rear pressure relief – a new Alienware first for graphics cards. The positive rear pressure relief allows heat to escape from specially located vents designed to aid with flow and thermal management. This new approach is built with gamers in mind.

Engineered for efficiency

These custom graphics card designs, included in both NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 and 3090 graphics, are built with space efficiency with a max length of just 267mm that covers a 2.5x slots and offers a dual 6-pin/8-pin PCI-Express power connectors. All these choices have been made to create efficiency with uncompromised gaming performance.

Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS)

Using AI rendering, NVIDIA® DLSS delivers a massive performance boost at the same power when compared to other graphics cards at similar resolutions.

NVIDIA Ampere Streaming Multiprocessors (SM):

NVIDIA's 2nd Gen RTX graphics cards come with the building blocks for incredibly fast and efficient GPUs. The all-new Ampere SM brings higher throughput allowing for faster data processing while offering improved power efficiency when compared to previous gen graphics cards.

Resizable BAR:

Resizable BAR is an advanced PCI-Express feature available on NVIDIA's 2nd Gen RTX graphics cards that enables the CPU to access the entire GPU frame buffer at once and designed to improve performance in games.

GRAPHICS CARD TECHNOLOGIES: AMD RADEON™ IMAGE SHARPENING

Detailed, Beautiful Visuals with Radeon™ Image Sharpening: Experience superior image quality with low performance impact. AMD Radeon™ Image Sharpening uses an intelligent contrast-adaptive sharpening algorithm that produces visuals that look crisp and detailed. Contrast-Adaptive Sharpening combined with optional GPU Upscaling draws out details in your favourite titles.

AMD Radeon™ Anti-Lag

The new Radeon Anti-Lag feature in Radeon Software is designed to help reduce input lag in GPU-limited cases. Radeon Anti-Lag controls the pace of the CPU work to make sure it doesn't get too far ahead of the GPU, reducing the amount of CPU work queued up. As a result, Radeon Anti-Lag can shrink input lag by almost a full frame, restoring the responsiveness to your game.

AMD Radeon™ FreeSync™ Technology

AMD Radeon FreeSync technology in the AMD Radeon™ RX graphics on the Alienware Aurora resolves the communication issues between processor and monitor, eliminating image tears and choppiness for effortlessly smooth gameplay.

ENGINEERED FOR AN UNENDING ADVANTAGE

Engineering dominance: Based on the innovative Legend industrial design, the Aurora R12 ensures airflow moves more fluidly and efficiently to decrease temperatures at the voltage regulator heatsinks by up to 8%, compared to the previous Aurora R9’s industrial design. Lower temperatures and more efficient airflow increase performance while maintaining stability for higher overclocking which results in higher frames per second while gaming.

Gaming made timeless

With DIY in mind, the Aurora R12 is equipped with an innovative PSU swing-arm, which enables a variety of benefits like tool-less graphics and expansion bay upgrades, as well as a compact chassis size. It also allows graphics cards to be positioned for purposeful airflow. The swing-arm carries the power supply which allows for airflow through the side vent, while securing and reducing vibrations during shipping to the cards themselves.

LEGENDS LIVE ON

Light it up: AlienFX RGB LED lighting adds an instantly iconic look to the Aurora. For our Lunar Light option, we've added a bold font-facing lighting ring and extra Alienware wordmark lighting zone that's unmistakably unique to Alienware engineering.

The future of design

The Legend industrial design innovates the elements of Alienware's roots and pushes the Aurora into a new realm. The unique design helps avid gamers stand out from the crowd thanks to bold, continuous lighting and the iconic central loop of AlienFX that unleashes dynamic color versatility. Plus, thoughtfully positioned front I/O ports, easy to reach rear ports and upgradeable components offer extreme gaming flexibility. Finally, functional front airways and hexagonal-shaped side venting boosts intake efficiency and maximizes air movement.

PERFORMANCE THAT RISES BEYOND

Killer™ Technology: Never miss a beat with integrated networking solutions like Killer™ 3100G Ethernet LAN and optional Killer™ DoubleShot Pro technology that send your connection signals into turbo-boost when Killer™ LAN is already enabled. The Aurora R12 also offers a new optional upgrade to Killer™ Wi-Fi 6 AX1650i (2x2) 802.11ax Wireless and Bluetooth 5.1 for improved connectivity.

Warranty

We stand by our products!

All our products are covered by a manufacturer's warranty unless stated otherwise on the listing (usually under the conditions tab). This applies to manufacturing defects or hardware faults that develop in the first months of ownership (between 6 and 12 months depending on the item).

All orders are posted with a VAT invoice in the box showing the date of purchase, price and VAT details. Please keep this invoice safe as it is sometimes required for warranty claims. You are of course welcome to contact us for a replacement invoice if needed, and we can also email copies if you would like a digital version.

Please note: Any item delivered damaged must be reported to us within 48 hours of receipt.

In the event of a fault developing in the first 14 days of receiving your purchase, please get in touch with us as soon as possible, we will help you with troubleshooting and resolving the issue. If a fault develops after 30 days, you will need to get in touch with the manufacturer to open a warranty claim. This will usually involve letting them know what has gone wrong and they will arrange for the issue to be rectified for you. If for any reason the manufacturer rejects the warranty claim, or you have any other difficulties please contact us and we will be more than happy to help.
