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.

I forgot that returning the R15 is an option. Thanks.
One thing I would consider is that it may be difficult for you to acquire a 2nd 10% off coupon code for the R16.

Edit: I'm going to stick with the R15. Upgrading RAM and HDs aren't as inexpensive as they used to be and the R16 PSU looks dangerously underpowered at 500W compared to the R15's 1350W PSU
Incorrect about R16. R16 has
1000W Platinum Rated PSU, 240mm Liquid-Cooled CPU with AlienFX & Clear Side Panel

I must've been looking at the wrong R16 spec. Thank you for keeping me honest. My R15 shipment arrives tomorrow. I'll watch both threads closely.

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 would never recommended a locked down bios motherboard that is also proprietary and especially not for 3k please build it yourself or pay someone to put it together. I bought one as my first "good " Gaming pc during the 10xx series. I was horribly disappointed the upgrade path was nonexistent and it was hot loud and looked like turd.

$2,519.99 plus tax with 10% off email code before CB. TX Tax was $207.90 for a total of $2,727.89.

CB @ 15% of subtotal should be $378.00. Price after CB = 2,141.99 + orig tax $207.90 = $2,349.89.

Just need the CB to come through.

These newer R15/R16 alienwares are not loud though. The Dell 4090 is pretty well reviewed too. For $2600 I'm not sure what alternatives you're looking at with similar specs.


In terms of upgrading, what components of a build like this do you plan on swapping out? Are you really going to get a 5090 to replace the 4090? Or throw in another $500-700 AM5 CPU for a modest performance boost?


If you're hopping from mid grade to mid grade specs, sure, there's a long upgrade lifespan of getting a non proprietary PC. But this thing is practically maxed out on today's specs and the $1000 discount brings it back to a value price range. I strongly suspect by the time you want to upgrade, every costly component will need to be upgraded anyway.

In the meantime you can still upgrade the storage on these machines yourself. That's probably the most believable upgrade.
