Top-tier gaming versatility
The Alienware Aurora is engineered for exceptional performance with a streamlined, minimal design. This generation of Aurora desktops focuses on reducing acoustics while maintaining airflow, making it a perfect gaming system for any setting.
Legend perfected
Modern design with a matte "basalt black" finish in an optimised chassis with customisable AlienFX lighting zones, including the striking stadium lighting. Available with a Clear Side Panel for showing off the internal components, with the elevated Legend 3 industrial design.
HEXAGONAL SIDE VENTS
An array of hexagonally shaped vents enables passive air intake supporting graphics performance and quieter acoustics.
STREAMLINED DESKTOP
Our Legend 3 design is echoed by the overall compact and functional size of the system, which is about 40% smaller by volume than the previous design and up to 53% smaller than the Area-51.
CLEANER CABLE MANAGEMENT
Seamless internal cable management reduces obstruction of airflow and keeps thermals efficiently managed.
FRONT I/O FLEXIBILITY
High performance front ports enable great connectivity and two of the USB ports include PowerShare technology which lets you easily power your favourite external devices even while the system is shut down.
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 liquid cooling CPU option - contributes to an incredibly smooth gaming experience.
Game cool and quietly
Central to the Aurora thermal strategy is the increase in its ventilation's total surface area. This increase is the driving force behind the desktop's efficient airflow, cooling and acoustics.
Optimised airflow strategy
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.
240mm heat exchanger
The 240mm heat exchanger, available on the CPU liquid cooling, heightens thermal resistance, ensuring temperatures stay consistently low during longer gaming sessions.
Updated heat exchanger fans
Revamped 240mm heat exchanger fans are designed to be smoother in angle and shape, making airflow more efficient with less fan noise.
Game changing graphics
Step into the future of gaming and creation with the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 50 Series, powered by NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. Designed to push boundaries, this GPU lineup delivers unparalleled AI performance and jaw-dropping graphics fidelity - perfect for those who demand the extraordinary.
Ray Tracing Redefined
Experience cinematic realism with full ray tracing, brought to life by fourth-gen RT Cores. From stunning light reflections to intricate shadows, your in-game world looks better than ever.
AI-Boosted Gameplay
Unleash next-level speed and responsive gaming with DLSS 4. Achieve ultra-smooth frame rates with Multi Frame Generation and enhanced Ray Reconstruction powered by fifth-gen Tensor Cores.
Competitive Advantage
Compete faster with NVIDIA® Reflex 2 technology featuring Frame Warp, which further reduces latency based on the game’s latest mouse input.
Unparalleled Video Playback
The RTX 50 Series redefines how you enjoy your favourite movies, shows and videos. With advanced AI-powered upscaling and buttery-smooth playback, immerse yourself in vibrant colors, stunning clarity and flawless streaming.
Immersive Entertainment
Rethink how you stream, chat or create content with NVIDIA Broadcast’s advanced AI enhancements. Clear your audio, upgrade your video, and craft your AI-powered home studio effortlessly.

This high-performance technology ensures clean energy is consistently available, unleashing the top-level power of up to Intel® Core™ Ultra processors as you game, livestream, and multi-task for hours on end. For more demanding experiences, the new Ultra K-Series processors are unlocked and can be overclocked.
CPU
Ensures everything runs smoothly and as expected; like controlling non-player characters, calculating realistic physics, translating a button press into an action, and triggering sound effects at the right time in the game.
NPU
Dedicated AI accelerators provide intelligent performance across gaming, creation and streaming apps where AI capabilities are possible.
More performance, quicker multitasking
Upgradable parts enable gamers to tailor their experience and expand the lifespan of their PC.
