Aurora R9, motherboard specifications?

Hi,

I have got an Alienware Aurora R9 and I was just wondering what the standard motherboard it comes with? I have checked many websites but I am yet to find an answer. Thanks in advance!

    It's a Dell/Alienware Aurora-R9 Motherboard. See PDF Service Manual. You can also Google main-processor and chipset

    Unless Dell switched recently, they were previously made by Pegatron (to Dell's specs). IIRC, they make similar boards for Dell-XPS, HP, etc.
