We called Dell’s G5 5000 a "warranty with e-waste attached." We said the 1660 Super in that system was the bottom of the barrel, but maybe, just maybe, Dell’s RTX 3090 can redeem them.

This video looks at the Dell RTX 3090 that's included in Alienware systems, like the Alienware R10 pre-built gaming computer and workstation. We received the Dell RTX 3090 on loan from a viewer, and so it was tested primarily outside of the Alienware system. That's good, because the Alienware system is phenomenally bad -- but we'll talk about that in a separate video. In this one, we'll be testing the Dell RTX 3090 for thermals, noise levels/acoustics, the frequency behavior, fan profile, and for assembly quality and form factor.
We reviewed a disappointing Dell GPU here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFaJZq13tr8
Dell made a good PSU, though, and you can find our review of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7hNmuizMB8
And it made one of the worst pre-builts we've ever seen, the G5 5000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DMg6hUudHE
And Lenovo gave Dell competition for bottom of the pre-built barrel, which you can see here:
