New Alienware Aurora R13!
Where to start, arrived 5 days early.
Built as per spec.
Delivered on their promise of a quiet machine.
Looks better in the flesh than the pictures.
Super performance with the 12900 and 3090.
The Alienware Cryo-tech Edition CPU Liquid Cooling does a superb job with temps.
Win win all round.

I got my R13 shipped early, but it arrived on the scheduled arrival date due to a mishap during shipping with FedEx. Same R13 but mine in Dark Side Of The Moon. Since applying BIOS 1.0.8 yesterday afternoon after two nVidia kernel level BSOD's, things have been good. I'm still running the original nVidia drivers that came with my machine in early December: I have not download the most recent ones from the nVidia website yet. Keeping my fingers crossed that my luck will hold out since applying the latest BIOS update patch.
Update= Resolved-resolved after the latest BIOS update.

Ha yes, far exceeded expectations.
I have a 11 month old R10 water cooled 3900x with a 3080 which I’ve passed onto my better half as she streams but the R13 is a huge step up.

Nice! I ordered a fully maxed out R13 on Nov 15th, with estimated delivery of Dec 23rd.
May I ask what the dates were of it ordered/entered production/shipped/delivered? Thank you, and congrats on the sweet rig.

Awesome thanks for sharing. Hows the noise/fan levels at high performance gaming mode. I have the R11 with the 3090 and it’s super…love it. I may also see if my wife wants it so can upgrade to this beautiful machine.

Hi Tonexx
I'd rather not say dates etc incase it causes any issues etc, but I did order very quickly mate. I guess with everything going in in the world right now it will vary quite a lot from region to region. Hope this helps

I would love to see some benchmarks like 3dmark and some thermal tests like Prime 95 with some temperature monitoring from MSI Afterburner and GPU-Z on these machines.
Just to see how much improvements they have made to the thermal performance. I know all the sale videos say they made great improvements, but I always prefer to believe actual user feedback over marketing videos.
