Alienware Aurora R5 Disassembly

At ChinaJoy 2016 last month, Dell officially unveiled a new Alienware Aurora R5 gaming desktop. The Alienware desktop lineup includes the top-of-the-line Area-51, the Aurora, the compact X51, and the mini-Alpha. Today, we’re bringing you the latest Alienware Aurora R5 gaming desktop teardown.

In fact, the Alienware Aurora R5 is designed for VR devices. We all know that the Oculus Rift and other VR headsets usually require higher hardware configurations, so the Aurora R5 comes with an overclocked processor i7-6700K and dual GTX 1070 SLI graphics cards, which are more than capable of meeting the demands of VR devices and most gaming needs.

Maybe you don’t know much about the Aurora series because it’s been so long between updates. It has been four years since the previous generation of R4 products, so what surprises will this machine bring us?

The specific Alienware Aurora R5 model number is alws-d1838, and it comes with an Intel i7-6700K processor, 16GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD + 2 TB mechanical hard drive, and an NVIDIA GTX 1070 graphics card, as well as pre-installation of Windows 10 Home Edition and Office Home and Student 2016. The overall performance is very powerful.

There are tons of ports on the rear: SPDIF (TOSLINK), SPDIF (coaxial), 6xUSB 2.0, 3xUSB 3.0, 1xUSB 3.1 (10Gbps), 1xUSB Type C 3.1, RJ-45, 4xDisplayPort, 1xHDMI, 1xDVI and 6xgroups of audio ports.

The Alienware Aurora R5 supports quick disassembly with two snap switches on the back of the case, an unlock switch, and the left side panel can be opened, which then opens up the built-in swivel-arm power bracket, and then the parts can be replaced, making the advantages of the tool-less disassembly design quite obvious.
