If you turn off the fans it says it can get up to 89+'C from GPU usage which is like 192.2'F and that is not close to 325'F which is good for cookies, so maybe if its a long time it could but I didn't find a recipe for how long that would take. Good luck!

Got this the last round at $300 higher price, but cash back was higher at that time and had Chase 5% offer at dell.com, so it's awash in terms of pricing now and then with cash back and offers. Promptly upgraded it to a 4TB 990 pro and moved the 2TB it comes with (OEM 980 Pro) to the secondary port. Also upgraded to 64GB RAM. Been working very well. When not running graphics, machine is quiet. Only hear the GPU fan during game sessions. It seems very well built with all cables tucked nice and neat. I used to build everything myself but nowadays this is the way to go for me. I no longer enjoy tinkering around and debugging things when, after 2 hours of putting everything together and turning every screw yourself, you hit the power button and no beep sound or BIOS screen.

I bought the same desktop last month, same spec but with 32gb ram.
It runs quiet, just updated the Nvidia driver.

Happy with the purchase. Got the additional 10% off coupon and close to $100 from Wells Fargo.

Gave my wife my 2020 Alienware x16 laptop, that this replaced.

It has the standard output of every other 4090, 1 HDMI and 3 display ports. And yes, it is HDMI 2.1

I was just about to jump on the frontpage Dell XPS Desktop PC but this is a slightly higher price with a faster CPU, 4x the RAM, 4x the hard drive space, and included 1yr premium support. Thanks OP!

Edit: More powerful PSU also

It comes with a Samsung PM9A1 which is basically OEM version of the 980 pro. This is a very competent drive. Motherboard comes with 2 nvme slots and I upgraded the primary slot to a 4TB 990 pro just to have more space and moved the preinstalled one to the 2nd slot under the video card. Case also has a tray for a 3.5 hhd for more storage, and data and power cable already pre-routed to the tray for easy drop in hookup. I added a WD red drive for extra space as well.

Signed up for email but did not get a 10% coupon. Guess I'll wait and see if there is a delay. I've been considering a 4090 to upgrade my current Alienware 3080 system. I feel like the 4090 will last me at least 3 years
I didn't get a coupon with two of my email addresses. Worked on my 3rd email address. I think it only works for 'new customers'.

Same. I am a little annoyed that it comes with 64Gb now though

This seems like a great deal! I'm confused about the differences between this alienware desktop model and the latest alienware Aurora r16 desktop model, which is the top-of-the-line and more powerful model? Debating if I should just wait for a deal on the r16.

Are there proprietary components in these or can components be upgraded easily at a later time?

Motherboard is a weird shape that fits exactly for case and external ports. PSU has very specific length cables that reach exactly to their intended connections without much slack, which creates a nice clean build, and there are no extra power connectors. If you want to reuse the PSU in a different case, it probably would involve extension cables and splitters.


Video card, CPU, cooler, fans, memory, NVME, WIFI card are standard components.
