AIRFLOW STRATEGY

To sustain peak performance, cool air is intentionally directed across core components for optimal airflow. Mindful exhausts expel hot air from the interior, maximizing thermal efficiency with minimum heat resistance.

LIQUID COOLING

CPU LIQUID COOLING

These desktops are quieter with larger heat exchangers that cycle fluid to and from the CPU block to provide higher thermal capacity. Aurora offers 240mm versions while Area-51 offers 360mm version.

ADVANCED GRAPHICS ENGINEERING

Alienware GPUs, developed for high performance by our engineers to meet rigorous thermal standards, deliver up to 450W on Aurora and 600W on Area-51, ensuring maximum visual fidelity and seamless FPS for your entire game library.

HYPEREFFICIENT VOLTAGE REGULATION

High-performance gaming remains consistent during long sessions, thanks to hyperefficient voltage regulation with 14-phase on Area-51 and 12-phase on Aurora, ensuring the CPU receives uninterrupted, steady power.

PURPOSEFUL CABLE MANAGEMENT

Cables are organized and kept clear of airflow using dedicated management channels on the right side of the chassis. The Area-51 also provides space for up to three additional drives.
