    I have a very important question, so please answer. The fan that is on the cooler from the factory does not work. So the replacement fan you are using looks like a Noctua PWM fan. Am I correct? Or is there a specific Alienware case fan that I have to purchase in order to make this work?

    checking back in 2024 Do we have any new finds that would fit the R7 case? lol my stock liquid cooler on my R7 is shot im pretty sure..idle temps around 55-60 even after new paste..i believe my impeller on the pump is broke. I dont see any Corsair h60's around anymore and i dont really trust a "used" OEM cooler. I did find "open box" OEM coolers and 1 new one for $180. I dont wanna spend $180 for a new one but might take a chance on the open box one for less than half.

    @calicojack3340 ปีที่แล้ว

    A bit old, I know. But I have recently went through this upgrade with my own Aurora R7. Issue seems to be, it runs hotter after than with the original air cooler. Second issue seems to be the swing out PSU. From what I can see, when it closes it seems to be pinching the hoses near the radiator. Is this an issue you ran into by chance?

    • @mintymus
      @mintymus ปีที่แล้ว

      If you're pinching the hoses then that's probably why it's running hotter. Either that or the thermal compound isn't applied right, cooler is mounted wrong, or you didn't take the film off of the bottom of the cooler before installing.

    • @calicojack3340
      @calicojack3340 ปีที่แล้ว

      @mintymus actually what I found out was using the included bracket there was all a gap wide enough to fit a sheet of paper through. I ended up fabbing my mount that held it securely and no issues.

It is at 7% while iddle and if I crank the fan speed to 100% in the Alienware command center, the fan only goes up to 40% according to the command center. Is there a fix to this?

    I just bought an R8. I didn't go with liquid, but now I'm thinking about it. I don't wanna rip it all apart. I see the H60 is a recommendation. Is it any good? Also, anyone know if this mobo will fit in aftermarket PC case? I'm guessing no cuz Dell, but I thought I'd ask. I love this PC, but it doesn't have great airflow.

    • @jamesharvey44
      @jamesharvey44 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have the R7, the airflow isn't as bad as you think. The main problem is the lack of clearance between the CPU and the power supply forcing the use of a small CPU air cooler. Get the stock Alienware AIO from a R5-R8 and the VRM heat sink, it does not require you to remove the motherboard and takes 5-10 minutes to install.

      @@richardcurtis2688 I looked at using a different motherboard with the R7 case; the case screws are in the right place but it uses a non standard power button arrangement. The lighting cable also contains the power switch leads, you would have to figure out which two wires to use with the new case switch. I already had the 1000w Alienware power supply so I installed the Alienware AIO, VRM heat sink and a Vega 64. Install your H60 and the VRM heat sink, it will make a difference. I don't have any more problems with my R7 and it has changed my opinion of it and now it is a decent machine. YMMV
