it is true that many discussion posted already to use third party ATX psu to replace R7 psu as long as the non-Dell psu has two separate 4 pin CPU/EPS connectors, one for the oem board cpu socket, the other for GPU_PWR which is mandatory to make the board POST. this discussion is about the Dell pro

I installed a WD_black M.2 SSD on the motherboard, but it is not recognized. I've never used one before. From what I'm reading on various tech blogs and community sites, it looks like often the advice is to set the BIOS SATA mode to IDE. But the Alienware BIOS (which is UEFI) does not have an "IDE"

Hi, I just set up my AW3423DW monitor. It was quiet and then I started hearing something akin to fan noise coming from somewhere. Does this monitor use a fan for cooling and should it be loud enough to be heard in a quiet room? Thank you.

I currently have the 2 8gb 3200 MHz ram slots in use that originally came with my R12. Am I able to install Crucial Pro RAM 32GB Kit (2x16GB) DDR4 3200MT/s (Amazon Link) for a total of 48gb of ram to my system? I was getting mixed answers on whether or not I could. Thank you for the support.

Hi, I am contemplating purchasing an Aurora 15 with the top of the line CPU and video card. I purchased a Dell Inspiron desktop in the past and was not at all impressed or happy with the quality of the chassis, etc, into which the components were installed. The sheet metal seemed to be of inferior

Was curious if anyone had an idea what manufacturer and model Dell used for the RTX 2060 in the Aurora R8? Was thinking about making a back plate to hide the pcb in the new case I migrated over too.

I've got an Alienware AW2518HF monitor that I've used in my setup for a few years now. Yesterday it experienced an unexpected power loss and upon powering it back on, it went into what I believe to be a BurnIn prevention mode.
