main problem ... 7700k .. the R5 was 6th gen intel and no bios update to support 7th gen intel .. need 6th gen intel.. or a Aurora R6 motherboard that supports 7th gen.. or go with aftermarket board (asus?) which would take better use of the cpu regardless :O
and a simple search :O just to back up above comment from Alienware Team..
Dell Aurora R5 will not support I7-7700k
Hi,
The Aurora R5 motherboard is not going to support the Kabylake processors (Intel 7th Gen). Dell is not going to create a Bios for this.
