    It lived up to what I expected. Although there were no instuctions, system information and we had to buy a disk reader. The only info was a 3"x4" 2 Page picture pamphlet for set. I would recommend to a friend, but I would inform of the lack of info and no disk reader.

    Boy, when you talk about power, this Dell G5 Gaming Desktop wins me over. This well-made machine comes with everything you want on a desktop. Although it may a high price to pay, it has quality written all over it. 16 GB RAM + 1 TB SSD + Clear sides to see fans + Lighted front and side panels. Worth every penny. I think it's a good choice for someone looking at a high-end machine.

      Hello Mandyg,

      We are sorry to hear that your G5 did not quite meet expectations. We really do appreciate your feedback. If system thermals are of concern, you can prioritize cooling by opening the Alienware Command Center application that came pre-installed with your device and select the 'Cool' thermal profile. You can view the full article here - https://dell.to/2XAULtU.

      Keep in mind that our G5 follows Intel performance design guidelines, which can lead CPU temperatures to reach 100°C to output top in-game performance. We fully warrant the product under these conditions. We do recommend contacting us when you see CPU temperatures rising beyond 100°C on Alienware Command Center.

      If you come across any further questions, issues or concerns, feel free to contact Dell Support at 1-800-264-9896.

      Best regards,
      Wendy C. Dell

    probably the worst prebuilt on the market. Proprietary parts, probably the worst motherboard i’ve ever seen, and not to mention the “1660ti” is a completely watered down version,

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
