This approach implements quad fan technology, unique power states and Element 31i, an Alienware-exclusive gallium-silicone thermal interface material. |
Element 31

Only available on systems with NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3070 Ti (Coming Soon) or 3080 Ti graphics cards.
Quad Fan Technology
Game with confidence with our patent-pending, independently controlled quad fan design. This new design includes standard evacuative fans as well as a dual opposite outlet (DOO) fan, which moves air through the chassis and over internal hotspots to create a pressurized environment that dissipates heat and reduces external temperatures.
Unique Power States
Tailor your PC to your needs by using one of the five unique power states made available via the Alienware Command Center. Choose from Performance Mode, Balanced Mode, Battery Saver Mode, Quiet Mode and Full Speed Mode, which can also be toggled using FN+F1.
High-performance features

Plus, push performance to its limit with post-purchase user-upgradeable memory SO-DIMMs, up to 64GB of DDR5 memoryi and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ graphics that feature NVIDIA Dynamic Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology, Ray Tracing, and NVIDIA Max-Q technologies.

An elevated visual & audio experience
Get immersed in the game with a PC that supports Dolby Vision™ and Dolby Atmos®. Dolby Vision™ incorporates metadata defined by studios and developers, thereby enabling optimal color profiles and breathtaking visual experiences. Dolby Atmos®, on the other hand, provides a scalable sound technology that places every voice and instrument in its own space—so you can experience a game exactly as the creators envisioned. Advanced Display Options The x17 R2 caters to your need for silky-smooth gameplay with a wide range of display panel options, ranging from FHD 165Hz through FHD 360Hzi, all with response times rated at 3ms or less. Plus, all panel options are also equipped with innovative technologies, such as ComfortView Plus, NVIDIA® G-SYNC®, Advanced Optimus and Windows Hello facial recognition. ComfortView Plus is a hardware-based low blue light filter that doesn’t consume resources or hurt performance, while Advanced Optimus is a technology from NVIDIA® that enables longer battery life and the tear-free, stutter-free gameplay of NVIDIA® G-SYNC®. |

Plus, ramp up the action with incredible ease, by quickly toggling between “Full Speed” and “Balanced” power states by pressing FN+F1. |
Codeveloped with Cherry

Plus, enjoy these speeds with unprecedented convenience, thanks to a layout that places all video ports at or near the back of the system, rather than on the sides. |
