Would we get G-Sync HDR (2nd gen) Alienware ultrawide monitor sometime this year?

how does it go with the outragously hot skylake X processors? i've read else where that even the 10 core 7900x thermally throttles with minimal overclocking with a 280mm radiator? The gen 2 triad case only has a 120x120 x27? (47 on threadripper?). Can this run the skylake x's without thermally throttling and if so what sort of stable factory overclock can be expected?

since you've discontinued Alienware Alpha, will x51 come back to life? or anyway will Alpha be replaced with another mini PC / console / whatever? xD
