Alienware, the pioneer in high-performance gaming systems,

processors and graphics to provide gamers with the ultimate gaming

pushing the boundaries with technology and performance, the new

The Aurora is now available with the latest Intel Core i7
processors including an Extreme Edition option, processors with as
many as 6 cores and 15MB of cache, and overclock speeds up to
4.3GHzi with Turbo Boost technology. These new options are part of
Intel’s new IvyBridge-E 4000-series family of processors announced
at the Intel Developer Forum 2013 in San Francisco. Additionally,
Aurora is now available with the latest NVIDIA GeForce 700-series
graphics and AMD 8900-series graphics options. These latest
components provide support for immersive experiences, whether
multi-display, 3D or higher resolutions beyond 1080p gaming. Gamers
are covered when it comes to future upgrades with support for
quad-channel DDR3 memory; players can also increase speed and
capacity by adding additional hard drives or solid state drives
within the 4 internal drive bays.
“Alienware has always pushed the limits with the capabilities of
its platforms, and the award-winning Aurora is no different,” said
Frank Azor, General Manager, Alienware. “Hardcore gamers around the
world will be able to play the latest games at the highest
settings, on a system engineered to deliver the ultimate gaming
experience for years to come.”
The innovative ALX chassis (available as an option) is ready to
take on the thermal and acoustic challenges of the latest
performance components. It features an intelligent thermal
management system that monitors key locations within the chassis to
ensure heat is being dissipated optimally. The active vents at the
top of the chassis open, as if the system is coming to life, to
provide additional heat dissipation when required. The ALX chassis’
premium CPU liquid cooling enables overclocking and lower operating
temperatures, while meticulous details like internal theater
lighting and tool-less, cable-free hard drive caddies support easy
upgrades.
The updated Alienware Command Center software provides
intuitive, user-friendly access to Alienware-exclusive applications
and controls in one centralized hub. Command Center includes the
exclusive AlienFX lighting control system which allows users to
create their own custom lighting themes and special effects. With
the ALX chassis, gamers will have up to 20 colors to choose from
across 8 different lighting zones, totaling to over 25 billion
possible lighting combinations. Alienware has worked closely with
game developers to incorporate AlienFX in over 60 game titles.
Whether healing, taking damage, or completing missions, AlienFX
lights are an extension of the game play. Alienware Command Center
also features AlienAdrenaline, a custom game and application
launcher, a system performance optimizer and a performance
monitoring tool, as well as AlienFusion advanced power management
and Thermal and Active Venting controls.

States and select countries around the world starting on September
