Alienware 16X Aurora users — CPU temperatures

Hey, I have the same one 16x Aurora. Ultra 9 and 5070.

Thinking about getting a 16x aurora for electrical engineering.

To be honest, yes, the Alienware 16x Aurora does get hot. When I first opened it and started doing basic tasks, it was running at around 80 degrees Celsius while practically doing nothing, and while playing AAA games it reached 100-105 degrees (with Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and The Last of Us Part II).

Archietcure Laptop Recommendations?

I have an alienware aurora 16x for engineering and it’s been nothing but fantastic so far. Great performance has “stealth mode” to not sound like a jet engine in class, and it’s a dell product so if need be the Pitt tech center should be able to work on it. The battery life isn’t great, but it’s not

Cheapest set up to run at 30 fps ?

After doing some research I can assure you that your laptop will have no problems with gaming with X4. While temperatures might appear a little higher the chips are meant for that and the cooling solution capable of dissipating that heat. I personally do not believe that you will need to get a separ

Alienware 16X Aurora review: Balancing premium build with a midrange GPU

I toyed with the idea of picking one of these up, the design is nice for sure. I have an M18, and an old 15 inch G5 2060m I use for work. On my last trip, whilst working remotely, I ended up carrying my M18 and my work laptop and realized how bad of an idea that was, so decided to pick up something

Alienware Aurora 16 RTX 5060

That's true HX processors are going to add a lot more heat and drain battery faster. Ever compare a Aurora 16x to this Aurora 16, the HX equipped 16x is not only more expensive, it's heavier and thicker. Understand, Alienware created the Aurora 16 to find a sweet spot between "can run modern games"

Im a student looking for a laptop

Right on! So Revit, like a lot of CAD software, is really CPU hungry and single-core dependent. You'll want to prioritize processor performance over anything else. Depending on the complexity of the models you'll be working with, a healthy amount of RAM is also a good idea. We spec the machines at m

Alienware 16/18 Area-51 Gaming Laptop vs 16X Aurora – Is the Area-51 Worth the Extra $$?

Does the cooling make a big difference? I currently have a Predator Helios 300 (circa 2021). It can run POE2 but lags occasionally and gets crazy hot (too hot to touch) so looking to upgrade. Was hoping to get a powerful gaming latop that could handle games and stay cool (and relatively quiet). Pict
