review Alienware Area 51-R2 - Disassembly

Not that I didn't take the time, perhaps the case had been updated (this video is 4 years old) at 15:47 I talk about how I opened the case, and that it was tooless. There was only a latch, which I mention at that time.... I can't make an update on something I don't have or have no knowledge of, I reported on what they sent me..... 4 years ago.

sorry my friend, I had to send this system back shortly after I reviewed it, but you can find more information on the written review, check it out here: https://www.dragonblogger.com/review-of-the-alienware-area51-r2/

very happy I could help you ;)

cabling needed some work, but yeah it is nice

I have one... It is a wonderful machine

no officially on their website but maybe if you gave them a call

If they could hold the old ones they can def would the news ones although I'm quite sure rtx is only two way SLI now. And SLI is dying so just go for a 2080 super 2080ti or 5700xt for 1080ti like performance

Do you mean over the cards blowing air on the cars or in front, because there is one in the front blowing in between the cards.

during all of my testing, this never overheated was always relatively cool, you are more than welcomed to check out the full review: https://www.dragonblogger.com/review-of-the-alienware-area51-r2/ and within the review I provide thermal testing as well.

If you have this machine on the carpet, or in a cabinet, take it out of there, put it up on the table, and do not block the exhaust or intakes, that will 100% kill your machine and also clean it out when you can, do it least every 6 months if not more. If the fans are clogged, it cannot cool, try breathing through a pillow for an hour, it is difficult.

@@ThisBytesForYou Hi, I have had this system for 3 years now with 3 Titan X cards and it has never over heated. I just opened it to check for dust and it is clean! I have the unit on a roller cart which keeps it off the floor.

​ Peterson Family ​ Peterson Family you're doing it right then, keep it off of the floor, don't keep it in a cabinet, let some air get to it and you are gold. Saul I would assume has it on the floor or in a cabinet as he has not responded.

should I just upgrade my dell or build an entirely new pc?

Hello my friend, glad to have you come by.... but you are going to have to give me a lot more detail, what exactly are you asking for help on, how to build it or what parts to chose and if it is what parts to chose, let me know your budget and I will see what I can come up with. Aside from that, I have tons of videos here that can teach you how to build your computer too.

so do you want to build it yourself, or do you want Alienware to build it? Remember, as I mentioned in the machine, back when I filmed it (2 years ago) the cost was only about $415.89 lower than building it yourself, this is no including shipping of each individual part, which could have ended up either even or a few dollars less. Factor in the cost of labor and time building the machine, electricity, warranty, support and the Alienware brand the machine was VERY cheap. You can check out my review here, but if you want, I can individualize all the parts for you so you can check it out on amazon and see what it would cost you, just let me know what parts you chose: https://www.dragonblogger.com/review-of-the-alienware-area51-r2/

right, I have had that config many times, its not always a bad thing and in one of my configs it actually improve thermals, that depends highly on how high the unit if overclocked, if its overclocked hardcore it would be horrible, but this had a moderate overclock... so it would not have been a bad thing. Sadly, I did not have a very long time to test it to reverse it to see which would have been better., You can check the review to see how it performed: https://www.dragonblogger.com/review-of-the-alienware-area51-r2/

the aio pictured looks a lot like the gamerstorm maelstrom...i had one on an o'ced i7 920 and it lasted about 2-3 months before the pump siezed...horrible bloody thing.i upgraded to the gamerstorm captain 240mm white.its a major improvement.it sits on around 27 degrees @4.7ghz and wont go over 80-85 degrees at full load.did you check my system out?what do you think?
