Unique Features AlienFX system lighting Your choices are nearly endless with a palette of 20 colors and multiple lighting zones. The standard Aurora chassis has 4 AlienFX lighting zones with up to 160 thousand color combinations while the optional ALX chassis has a total of 8 lighting zones with over 25 billion color combinations for a truly custom experience. Set the zones to morph from one color to another, to pulse at a specific tempo or to remain solid. Even set the zones to flash and alert you in the case of practically any system event, like getting an email or a message from a friend. AlienAdrenaline Launch games your way with personalized shortcuts in Game Mode, maximize performance with the new Accelerator feature, and keep an eye on resource consumption with Performance Monitoring.. AlienFusion Access your system’s power-management controls so you can decide when you need maximum performance or when to scale back for more everyday programs. Alienware Thermal Controls Alienware’s Thermal Controls allow you to control the thermal and venting behavior of your Aurora. You can also create and save multiple thermal and venting profiles for different usage scenarios. Active Venting The Aurora chassis features a sophisticated system of thermally monitored and controlled air chambers that allow you to monitor your system's internal temperatures. The optional ALX chassis features the addition of automated Active Venting for on-demand heat dissipation during intense gaming sessions. High-performance CPU liquid cooling Keeping the Aurora cool is key for component longevity and performance. All Aurora systems come equipped with CPU liquid cooling that enables reduced system acoustics, improved heat transfer and greater overclocking potential than traditional heatsinks and fans. For even lower CPU temperatures and less fan noise, upgrade to the optional Premium CPU Liquid Cooling solution (premium solution comes standard with ALX chassis upgrade). Back to Top 3. Need to Know Active Venting: The ALX version of Alienware Aurora-R4 has Active Top Vents and the Standard version has fixed vent holes.The behavior of the vents on ALX version can be customized by Thermal Controls in Alien Command Center.
