Aggressive yet compact triad chassis, unparalleled processing power and game-changing graphics combine to make the Alienware Area-51 a go-anywhere unstoppable war machine - ready for the challenge anytime, anywhere.
Powerhouse performance: The Alienware Area-51 delivers unbeatable performance with Intel Core processors. Choose between an Intel Core i7, i9, or i9 Extreme with Turbo Boost Max 3.0 Technology for extreme megatasking capabilities. Record, game and stream simultaneously in 4K resolutions with options for 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18 core processors.
More memory: With 64 GB of memory in quad-channel mode and 4 DIMM slots to populate your memory, you can create games that go beyond what you thought was possible. So whether you’re rendering a 3D model, editing photography, video or sound, know that your only limit is your imagination.
A gaming breakthrough: Alienware breaks the mold once again with the first-ever Area-51, featuring dual liquid-cooled graphics with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080. These dual liquid cooled 1080 class cards deliver increased performance, produce low noise operation, extract the highest performance from NVIDIA SLI cards and allow for 16K high-fidelity gaming.
Critical cooling: The new liquid cooled graphics technology enables an improvement of up to 30 degrees Celsius cooler, on the GPU, in most benchmarks compared to standard air cooling. When running Ultra settings, on average, you can expect a benefit of up to 20 degrees cooler, on the GPU, compared to standard air cooling.
Second-gen triad chassis: A revolutionary new second generation triad chassis with a new retooled swinging cage supporting tool-less graphics and expansion cards for the first time ever on an Area-51, extending the life of your system with easy-to-access components. Also added is the PCI-E card door, which eliminates plastic retention with a screw-less rotation door. And by designing the system with a door built from a single, structural panel, internal components always stay secure.
Superior materials: The triad design is forged from an internal carbon powder-coated metal skeleton and features solid, staked-in rubber grommets. A large surface area holds an internal, stamped-metal panel with cable management ports and 5 storage bays.
Access your entire ecosystem: Experience seamless connectivity with a total of 14 USB ports, including four ports on the front panel. The largest available Alienware desktop cavity is also outfitted with efficient cable management clamps plus four independent HDD cable clips, graphics brackets and locks to keep your cards securely fastened.
Don't just beat the heat. Annihilate it: The new chassis features high-quality cold copper plates and a 120x120 mm radiator to guarantee your system stays cool under pressure.
Epically efficient: Area-51 features the quietest pump, a double ceramic bearing, super durable dark gray nylon tubing and a 2850 RPM pump cycle guaranteed for up to 50,000 hours of use. Voltage regulators and passive heatsink chipsets prevent overheating.
Now you have control over your hardware and software environments. Not only can you tailor the hardware for each and every game you play, you can personalize the space and setup to make your software look and feel precisely the way you want it, without interfering with your gameplay or other activities.
The easy-to-use interface links all your various system settings with a gaming library, making it simple to access gaming information. No matter what the source, the command center gives you easy access to your games and the ability to fine-tune settings for each one. Create a unique game profile and it stays just how you want it, no matter where you launch.
Save new themes, assign them to your games and edit peripheral settings with new AlienFX hardware and software featuring support for full RGB values and up to 16.8 million colors. Included is a new user interface to create and map new system-level effects so you can manage lighting and settings from the same controls. Select systems and hardware also offer settings for individual or group keyboard key colors.
Additional vents and active fans have been added for increased active blower cooling and greater exhaust from the rear edge, plus two times the U.2 drive support.
U.2 NVMe PCIe drives are designed for the most demanding workloads, providing industry-leading endurance and incredible speeds.
With support for 1 M.2 drive, 2 U.2 drives, and 3 3.5" drives, your machine can support up to six drives of SSD or HDD for the fastest storage available.
The Ethernet assembly was built by Killer Technology. It prioritizes streaming video and gaming packets for the smoothest possible performance when you need it most. It comes fully equipped with 802.11ac – the latest wireless protocol with 2x2 antennae for lightning fast, best-in-class signal and range. Plus, you get dual Killer NIC gigabit Ethernet ports for extra connectivity options.
The power supply, with available 850W and 1500W of modular cabling, will ensure revved-up performance that is impressively reliable and efficient.
Intel Optane memory is a smart, adaptable system accelerator for your new Intel X-Series processor-based computer. It provides uncompromising responsiveness for systems with mega storage drives, making everything you do faster, smoother, easier. Everyday tasks are up to twice as responsive with 16GB Intel Optane Memory. Games launch up to 67% faster with 16GB Intel Optane Memory. A hard drive plus 32GB Intel Optane Memory performs up to 21 times faster than just a hard disk drive. The perfect solution for gamers looking for SSF like performance at a fraction of the cost.*
