area 51 is back and it looks damn hot, seriously why are there so little cooling vents?

Isn't alienware known for heating issues, seems like that still haven't listened to the critics..

After countless tests, we implemented an all-new positive pressure airflow system with three different fan sizes that all point inward toward the chassis to pull in cool air from the environment. Gaskets inside the chassis create a seal to

prevent leakage and build positive pressure that expels heated air out the back with a pressurized passive exhaust. That’s right – there are no exhaust fans.

@Nemen7 - Did you bother to watch the AWA presented video before complaining about Area 51's cooling capability?
Nemen7 - 01.07.2025 20:35:31
i did, however ive watched the previous videos too. its all good and well saying that its an upgrade over the the r16 but restrictive airflow leads to higher temps.

@Nemen7 The front airflow design is pretty similar to other cases like "Thermaltake A700", "Corsair 5000D" or "Phanteks Enthoo Evolv X". All of them got even more restrictive airflow than the Area-51, and yet didn't turn out to be horrible.

I mean, it seemed that they may have actually listened to the feedback a bit, since they are saying they heard the complaints about using non-standard components, and acted on that when building this. The positive airflow seems cool, to me.

although, maybe i'm not one to take too seriously regarding this kind of stuff, as I like my x17 R2 even if it gets to 100C when working. It apparently is supposed to be doing that, and it doesn't cause issues. I also like my Razer KB idk..

The fact they are using standard parts alone makes me think they did their research. Of course I'll wait for Gamers Nexus to review but I am intrigued for the first time in a LONG time from a Dell pre-built.

I am happy to see a far more standard motherboard.
