Alienware Aurora R16 Gaming Desktop
Optimized for all gamers
Built to perform with an efficient design, experience a gaming desktop showcasing optimized thermals and lowered acoustics.
It's a whole new game
The Alienware Aurora R16 marks the debut of our Legend 3 design in desktop form. This new design provides efficient airflow without sacrificing performance — running cooler, quieter, offering equal or better performance than the Aurora R15 desktop* — and the ability to personalise your experience in an optimised chassis that's perfect for any setting.
Intentional thermal strategy
Our design prioritises airflow efficiency and improved acoustics by introducing larger passageways and optimised internal cable management resulting in 20% quieter operation, on average, and 7% lower temperatures compared to the Aurora R15.* This approach — combined with air or liquid cooling CPU options — contributes to an incredibly smooth gaming experience.
Game cool and quietly
Central to the Aurora R16's thermal strategy is the increase in its ventilation's total surface area. The side hexagonal array, top surface exhaust, and the front stadium intake all provide significantly larger pathways for ambient air to enter and heat to be exhausted. This increase is the driving force behind the desktop's efficient airflow, cooling and acoustics.
The 240mm heat exchanger, available on the optional CPU liquid cooling, heightens thermal resistance, ensuring temperatures stay consistently low during longer gaming sessions.
