The Alienware Area-51, with its hexagonal housing and the colorful light strip, reminds you of an extraterrestrial spacecraft rather than a conventional desktop PC. After opening the left-hand case cover, the view of the slanting motherboard with an Intel X99 chipset and three Radeon-R9-290x graphics cards in the crossfire mode is noticeable.
Dell Alienware Area-51
The Radeon R9-290x, built in the Alienware Area-51, is currently the fastest AMD graphics chip with 2,816 stream processors. An Intel Core i7-5930K with six cores is used as a CPU in the test device. The Haswell-E is the ideal CPU for systems with more than two graphics cards with 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes.
With this hardware, the Alienware Area-51 is one of the few computers that can make 4K gaming possible with high quality sequencing. This is demonstrated by the 6,407 points in the 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra. However, the system draws more than 900 watts.
Conclusion
With its fast Hexacore processor, 16 GB DDR4-2133 memory and a 256 GB SSD as a system disk, the Area 51 is also extremely fast in applications. Thus, for example, it can also serve as a semiprofessional video-editing computer. A 4-TByte HDD of WD is installed as an additional data store.
The Alienware Area-51 is one of the fastest standard gaming PCs on the planet and also very well equipped. However, the computer with 4,400 euros is also astronomically expensive.
Intel Core i7-5930K (max 3,9 GHz), Graka: 3 x AMD Radeon R9 290x, hard disk: ssD (256 GB) HDD (4 TByte), test report: Very good (99 points)
