Why Dell Alienware Runs So Hot

This is a follow up video on my previous Upgrading Dell Alienware Aurora R10 Fans video. Here I focus on results, weather it is worth it or not and the fact that this Dell Alienware Aurora R10 Ryzen Edition desktop PC is an absolute nightmare when it comes to thermals.

Configuration details as follows:
Ryzen Edition / Lunar Light
AMD Ryzen 7 5800x
NVidia RTX 3070
32GB DDR4 3400
512GB NVMe SSD
1000W / Liquid Cooling

Dell fan models:
Delta Electronics AFB1212EJ01 12V 1.5A (18W) front bottom intake
Delta Electronics AFC1212DE 12V 1.6A (19.2W) case top exhaust
