With Alienware holding the exclusive rights to Threadripper, there arent any pre built systems we can compare in price here. However, if youre looking to get a custom PC from system builders, you can expect to spend about the same amount of money as you would on the Area 5. Design. Alienwares triad design for the Area 5. No company has tried to introduce an even more outlandish PC and thats including the HP Omen X, which is a cuboid desktop that stands on an edge. Although the Area 5. EVGA DG 8. 7 or Cooler Masters revived Cosmos II 2. Anniversary Edition, we wouldnt call Alienwares flagship desktop small either. Game Call Of Duty 2 Single Player. From the sheer 6. Area 5. 1s empty chassis to its side panels that could double as heat shields, everything about this desktop is big. Of course, this big brute is clever as well. The Area 5. 1 pitches all the components inside at a 4. This allows the system to directly pull air towards the CPU liquid cooler, as well pushing it directly to the GPUs blower style fan. Best of all, you wont really have to worry about ground clearance or putting a board on your carpet, as the power supply and other fans arent positioned on the desktops bottom panel. Upgradability. Like the Alienware Aurora R5, upgrading the Area 5. To upgrade the graphics card or add a second one, all users have to do is pull the lock on the expansion slots and twist a few thumbscrews on the GPU support bracket.

The Area 5. 1s 1. AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1. X isnt just there for show, it puts in work. Given that this processor has four times the number of cores of every single pre built PC weve tested before, its the most powerful computer weve ever tested. Compared to the Corsair One and MSI Aegis 3, running the latest quad core, seventh generation Intel processors, the Area 5. The Origin Millennium fares better thanks to its last generation Intel Core i. K Extreme processor, and even manages to beat the Area 5. Nvidia GTX 1. 08. GPUs in SLI. While the Threadripper 1. X brings plenty of power, you should be mindful of what mode the processor is in. As discussed in our review of the processor, AMDs flagship chip can be set to a Creative or Game Mode. The latter shuts off half of the CPUs cores and switches to a more traditional memory access protocol for higher in game frame rates. However, in our testing of both the processor and this gaming PC, we found Game Mode brought a negligible performance increase to anything but real time strategy games. Outside of benchmarks, the Alienware Area 5. PC. It tackled all our needs for editing images, videos and of course gaming. We were able to play Battlefield 1 at 4. K with ultra settings, and take in the beautifully rendered world at war without any frame rate hitches whatsoever. We couldnt say the same about cranking everything up in Rise of the Tomb Raider, which sat around 2. K and 5. 8fps at 1. So performance will vary between games, but with a few tweaks you should get a playable experience with everything. Final verdict. The Alienware Area 5. Threadripper Edition is unquestionably the most powerful gaming PC weve ever reviewed. However, given the expense and complicated nature of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1. X, this desktop isnt for everyone. Gamers looking to become the next You. Tube or Twitch star will benefit most from a rig like this, especially if they feel they dont have the know how to build it themselves. Threadripper was designed for the most intensive of mega tasking, and whether youre playing, recording, streaming or encoding video, this rig can handle all these things, and all at the same time. The Threadripper Edition aside, the Area 5. PC platform albeit an expensive one. Speed Demos Archive Game List for PC sorted alphabetically. List of games with runs for PC, sorted alphabetically.
