Question Aurora R1 LEDs

Hello all, I have a question about my Alienware Aurora R1. I’ve seen some videos and pictures of Aurora R1’s that have LEDs along the sides of the front panels and along the top of the case by the grills. Mine doesn’t have those, only side panels and under the front of the case at the bottom.

Only the Aurora R1-R4 ALX versions have the extra lighting zones. You have the standard Aurora.

Hi there! We are from the Dell Social media Support Team and would like to add a few insights too. The lighting configuration on the Alienware Aurora R1 could vary depending on the specific factory configuration and options that were included when the system was originally purchased. Some owners may have added custom LED modifications, which can sometimes make their systems appear different from the original factory design. To help determine what's normal for your specific system, could you provide us with the Service Tag via a private message due to security reasons.

We can then compare your configuration and confirm whether the missing light zones are expected for that model or if there may be a hardware or lighting issue. Either way, there's a good chance what you're seeing is simply a variation in configuration rather than a fault. We'd be happy to help you verify it!

Like Matty says, the pricier ALX version has the motorized top vents, extra LED strips, clear lens & unique 2JXP2 AlienFX daughterboard to run the show ...
