The ram could be a couple of issues. The OEM hyper x fury isn't actually identical to aftermarket hypet x fury, i believe they run at different voltages, you can look at your sticks and confirm. Also I don't think 4 x 8gb is a validated ram config by Alienware for the R12. I think if you want 32gb at 3200 you will need to go for a 2 x 16gb.

I could be wrong, but I think you should check your just installed fan as I feel that it's turned wrong and blowing out of the case, rather than into the case, towards the GPU. If you can, check it with the side panel open to make sure that it's blowing in the correct direction?

Question 🙋🏻♂️ Does upgrading RAM upgrade the VRAM in ur computer ?? Not really knowledgeable on this but like when I play games I’m just at 10 gb, how do I get more VRAM to work with 🙏🏽💯
R12 only supports dual channels, so you running 2 x 2 dual channels. Just in case anyone tries this and can't figure out why it won't run quad with 4 sticks. Note* you can still run 4, and it will add up the same, it just won't be quad channels.
I do. make sure to watch my video of how to get discount before you purchase. you will save some money for sure. Also, get the liquid cooled CPU is a plus. Ram should do dual channel.

Question: Would doing this somehow ruin the warranty? Taking out the gpu and changing the fan out? Oh also is the bracelet something you’d need to have to change out the fans? Very new to pcs
You are a very humorous person.😂 I'm thinking to buy alienware's pc but still haven't decide which one to buy yet. I saw the review said their noise is way too loud, not sure what's the reason, and curious if this happens to you.
@@RyanYu Not sure if it's because they fixed the noise issue, but I just got a R12 delivered on July 21. So far it's been really quiet. I just bought ram for it but I have a question. After I bought the ram, I saw that my system can't have 4x 8GB ram sticks. My system came with 2x 8GB, and I just purchased 2x 8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro sticks. Can I mix those with the factory RAM, and can I really add 4x 8GB sticks into the R12? BTW, I have the overclock cpu with 1000W power.
Oh, that is annoying. Already bought my 32GB kit for my R10. Will try and let you know if I have any success on the R10 when I try my kit in the next couple days. I heard there was an issue with the Dell/Alienware proprietary boards.
@@hyuganokaiten yeah, from Dell. Nice to get their "warranty" and their shipping was faster than expected. Others were 30 days or so to ship back then, so decided to go Dell.
Can you use cheaper memory cards I just blew my savings getting the computer itself don’t have much money left. Could use more affordable upgrade options
So, new/old problem. I should have asked you this a long time ago. No matter what brand memory cards I use the computer will only accept 16GB of ram. Anymore than that and the computer won’t boot up. Is there a simple fix for that or do I have to get a expensive part to fix it?
XMP will only show its max clock when the CPU is at load unless you don't want turbocharged enable instead just want your CPU overclocked all the time.
@@RyanYu Depending on your CPU and if the motherboard can handle it, try looking at the bios to see if there is a turboboost setting for your CPU, if not, try opening Alienware command center and taking a look at the power options, in there you can also overclock your PC. When I am gaming I usually set mine to High Performance. Check that stuff out and you should see your RAM hz max out.
@@aaronkirk121 I think only the overclock version of CPU can go up to 3200 mhz. I've tried pretty much everything on mine and it still set it to 2933 MHZ.
How long did the black screen take after upgrading the ram? I just got my r12 and put 64gb in (2 x 32) and ive been sitting here for 10 minutes. Saw the alienware logo pop up for a split second but thats it....still black, still waiting.
@@RyanYu Does the black screen remain long only once after the upgrade (and not an ongoing thing everytime you turn-on your machine moving forward?), and is this issue only happening on the R12 when updating ram and not the R10/R11? Just curious :)
Love the channel quick question if i bought the single channels 16gb version can i drop another hyper x 3466 16gb and be ok ? Also when installing the h60 by corsair does it replace the original fan or is a supplement to it?
@@RyanYu ordered some corsair 16 gb x2 at 3200 thanks for the recommendation. Getting a full rtx3080 setup for 2300 including the h60 cooler isnt bad. Do i need a heatsink or will i be ok without it ?
Why did you replace the fan? I've checked out like 15 vids on this rig and everyone I've seen so far says no heating issues and it runs every game at max settings. These are with an 11th gen chip and a 3080 of course.
@@RyanYu ah okay. That's not an issue for me as I have headphones that cancel outside noise. But ty for doing vids on it. I will likely order my R12 soon.
EDIT: I found your SSD install video Nice, thanks for the super helpful video! My r12 is arriving next week and this is the first upgrade I'm going to do. Do you have a video showing how to install additional SSD?
I had the same issue. It won't take 4 8gb sticks. You need two 16gb sticks. They have a chart on the Alienware manual of what type of memory combination it will accept
OMG, really!? that's why it is good to read the manual sometime. Could you check the R11 for me too? they could be wrong too, because I have the 4 same sticks in my R11 and they work at 3200mhz.
Hi Ryan, in the end, did you manage to get 3200MHz? Also, any idea the system will accept any brand for the RAM? Since you mentioned that only Corsair fans are usable
@@RyanYu Thanks. The document from Dell said it should support up to 3400MHz though, and i7 11700F can support up to 3200MHz. Oh well. BTW, keep posting, you're awesome
Just curious - How much of a performance difference really between 2900/3000 mhz and the desired 3200 mhz? I am planning to upgrade my RAM (from stock HyperX Fury 16GB @ 3200 mhz) to either 64GB or 128GB (also planning to be HyperX Fury @ 3200 mhz), and I have been seeing similar results on various forums where filling all 4 slots resulted in mhz of 2900/3000. I'm concerned if settling with a loss of 200/300 mhz is actually noticeable in overall performance - is it more of a minor difference?
I called Kingston on the issue with the Memory cards in my R12, These Ram cards are proprietary as their clock speeds are at 20. The ones directly from Kingston vary from 16-19 clock speeds! And you can not mix and match clock speeds with other cards! I assume Dell just wants you to buy from them only! The ones that come with the Alienware Computers are not available retail. Only from dell and you have to match the numbers that are on the sticker on the cards! I need to make a video already!
If you could get parts at retail price then build it yourself which is much better. But if you can’t get them or don’t know hot to build then the Alienware is pretty good.
After replacing, I started up my PC to Pre-Boot System Performance Check screen. In this screen, the computer tested both top and front fans. I get a message stating that the Front Fan failed to respond correctly….
I did the same upgrade, This video makes the front fan replacement not look difficult to install. I run Warzone at 120fps, the only thing is my graphics card reached 75 cels and that’s too hot for my liking

For current model maybe.
Do you know if I can change out the intel i7 cpu for the ryzen 7 5800x?
You can.
Have you changed out the cpu on your r12?

Is it 100% required to upgrade the fan if i upgrade from a base 8gb of ram to 2 16gb ram for 32gb of ram total?
Not really.
@@RyanYu Awesome thanks for the reply, one more question. I picked up an Alienware Aurora R12 i5 11400F with the RTX 3060 in it for 850$. Did i get a good deal?
@@Kahlafia indeed.
Do you think the one front fan replacement is enough or should I replace radiator fan too
Better result is two, but one is okay to lower a bit noise in idle mode.
@@RyanYu Would you recommend the same corsair fans? I am trying to optimize airflow while reducing as much noise as possible. Thank you for response fellow aurora owner 😎
@@user-uz2wo5uf1z I will recommend the fans for sure it is quiet and good in performance too.
ML120 PRO, not the regular fan. i’ve seen somewhere that the bios will not post with other fans.

Approx how long did it take to boot up?After you installed the new ram.
It’s same adding ram won’t increase boot up time.
im getting less frame in my R12 i have RTX 3070 and 11900K with 16gb ram but i get low frame what shall i do?
Upgrade the ram!
Hi, I think the R12 motherboard is still Z490 and it doesn't support and compatible properly with 11th gen processors, please tell us how the performance is after upgrading your ram
Do you think pc Temps are cooler with the pro fans or stock fans. If noise is not an issue?
Better in my case.
@@RyanYu wyatt is better? Pro or stock? For temps
@@russ4032 pro for me.
If adding identical ram do you have to take out the stock ram?
Can you keep the stock ram in and just add the 1 stick of the new ram to make it dual channel
Nope, their ram is in different XMP profile then those after market.
@@RyanYu Sorry I’m not much of a tech head when it comes to PCs
Does that mean I can keep the original ram in the pc and just add the new one in if it’s the same MHz and there both Cl16?
@@murray3914 nope, you can’t combine them. You will need to remove the stock one man.
@@RyanYu Dang it, Well that’s a shame, I was hoping to be able to just add 8Gb more ram, Guess I have to spend more money to buy 2 ram sticks :(

Hope this helps
How long did your reboot take ?
3-5 minutes.
Ok thanks I think may only be able to add more sticks of 3200 I tried adding higher an it wouldn’t boot up . Thanks for the reply .
@@DOPEMOVESTV no problem.
Does this work with the arura r 11
Yea
We’re did you get the ram?
you can check out my other video where I change the ram for R11, in the description, there are links
my R12 is having major issue with Ram latency. running 25% slower than most 11700k w/3080
I have some gameplay video as reference for you, try to run the same game with same setting and see how yours does.
Can you mix the memory from built in and extra taht you bought? Would they work together?
I don’t think so. It didn’t work on my R11 and I think they will still not working in R12
no - I have several that did not work and had to buy the exact mem that came in it to expand to 64GB - also none of the cpu or ram factory overclocking was set correctly in the BIOS - 5.3 cpu was running 4.8 and 3200 ram was running 2400
How long did you stay on the black screen til it booted ?
1-2 minutes ?
@@RyanYu thanks for the reply.. im having problems with mine. Everything is on but I get a black screen. I changed the fans, added storage, etc. Now It won't boot. I even put a put a USB in to reinstall windows but I can't get into the boot settings

Replacing the ram is a solution.
@@RyanYu Appreciate the fast reply!
Did you add more ram? I have an r12 and it only came with 8gb of ram which is bottlenecking me bad. I have no computer knowledge so any help on what to buy would be extremely helpful!
Question: Would doing this somehow ruin the warranty? Taking out the gpu and changing the fan out? Oh also is the bracelet something you’d need to have to change out the fans? Very new to pcs
It will ruin the warranty, and the bracket comes with the pc.
@@RyanYu ohh ok thanks
@@philipmayer3712 Just put everything back and said you didn’t touch anything lol.
You are a very humorous person.😂 I'm thinking to buy alienware's pc but still haven't decide which one to buy yet. I saw the review said their noise is way too loud, not sure what's the reason, and curious if this happens to you.
Yeah it is loud if you don’t play games on the headphones.
@@RyanYu Not sure if it's because they fixed the noise issue, but I just got a R12 delivered on July 21. So far it's been really quiet. I just bought ram for it but I have a question. After I bought the ram, I saw that my system can't have 4x 8GB ram sticks. My system came with 2x 8GB, and I just purchased 2x 8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro sticks. Can I mix those with the factory RAM, and can I really add 4x 8GB sticks into the R12? BTW, I have the overclock cpu with 1000W power.

Oh, that is annoying. Already bought my 32GB kit for my R10. Will try and let you know if I have any success on the R10 when I try my kit in the next couple days. I heard there was an issue with the Dell/Alienware proprietary boards.
Did you bought from dell, i am planning to buy it from dell, but i am looking for more options
@@hyuganokaiten yeah, from Dell. Nice to get their "warranty" and their shipping was faster than expected. Others were 30 days or so to ship back then, so decided to go Dell.

@@RyanYu Good to know. The R10/R11/R12 boards all have their own quirks, so hoping it works out.
Do u reccomend I get an r12 or build my pc?
Get r12. You can’t get GPU easily now.
@@RyanYu alright thanks
Can you use cheaper memory cards I just blew my savings getting the computer itself don’t have much money left. Could use more affordable upgrade options
I’m not sure. But as long as it is ddr4 it should work.
@@RyanYu thank you
So, new/old problem. I should have asked you this a long time ago. No matter what brand memory cards I use the computer will only accept 16GB of ram. Anymore than that and the computer won’t boot up. Is there a simple fix for that or do I have to get a expensive part to fix it?
So I am confused what was happening with the mghz I thought the r12 already comes with 3200mghz ram
Yep they do. I thought I could update it myself but the ram that I got couldn’t work with the cpu.
@@RyanYu So you bought memory that was less megahertz to keep the cost down and then you were just gonna updated yourself afterwards
@@CrypticHack3r yeah. I got a single 16 go 3200mhz. But I tried to upgrade it to 32GB 3200mhz but my cpu can’t do it.
@@RyanYu That seems odd what kind of CPU do you have I thought you could upgrade this thing to 128 GB
@@CrypticHack3r you could but a good cpu I have the 11700F
Which CPU do you have? If it is intel 10th gen then it will work at 2933.
I have the 11700F. I think if it was a K, then it will go up to 3200.
XMP will only show its max clock when the CPU is at load unless you don't want turbocharged enable instead just want your CPU overclocked all the time.
Do you know if I can get mine to 3200mhz?
@@RyanYu Depending on your CPU and if the motherboard can handle it, try looking at the bios to see if there is a turboboost setting for your CPU, if not, try opening Alienware command center and taking a look at the power options, in there you can also overclock your PC. When I am gaming I usually set mine to High Performance. Check that stuff out and you should see your RAM hz max out.
@@aaronkirk121 I think only the overclock version of CPU can go up to 3200 mhz. I've tried pretty much everything on mine and it still set it to 2933 MHZ.
bruh ram stays always at max mhz

Shouldn't you be sucking heat out - rather than pushing air in?
The top fan push air out.

How long did the black screen take after upgrading the ram?
I just got my r12 and put 64gb in (2 x 32) and ive been sitting here for 10 minutes. Saw the alienware logo pop up for a split second but thats it....still black, still waiting.
It took me about 3-5 minutes buddy.
@@RyanYu thanks for the quick reply. idk why but it just stayed black. had to restart with bios and then it worked fine.
@@fadedneon649 mine just blink few times then boot up.
@@RyanYu Does the black screen remain long only once after the upgrade (and not an ongoing thing everytime you turn-on your machine moving forward?), and is this issue only happening on the R12 when updating ram and not the R10/R11? Just curious :)

It is the same process. The only difference is that you have to buy a Sata cable.

Hi Ryan, in the end, did you manage to get 3200MHz? Also, any idea the system will accept any brand for the RAM? Since you mentioned that only Corsair fans are usable
No I can’t since my cpu is not overclockable.

Just curious - How much of a performance difference really between 2900/3000 mhz and the desired 3200 mhz? I am planning to upgrade my RAM (from stock HyperX Fury 16GB @ 3200 mhz) to either 64GB or 128GB (also planning to be HyperX Fury @ 3200 mhz), and I have been seeing similar results on various forums where filling all 4 slots resulted in mhz of 2900/3000. I'm concerned if settling with a loss of 200/300 mhz is actually noticeable in overall performance - is it more of a minor difference?
Minor difference 5ish FPS in game.
There would be literally no different in gaming between 2900/3000 and 3200. You will not notice the difference. “5ish” FPS is absurd.
I called Kingston on the issue with the Memory cards in my R12, These Ram cards are proprietary as their clock speeds are at 20. The ones directly from Kingston vary from 16-19 clock speeds! And you can not mix and match clock speeds with other cards! I assume Dell just wants you to buy from them only! The ones that come with the Alienware Computers are not available retail. Only from dell and you have to match the numbers that are on the sticker on the cards! I need to make a video already!
@@geolopez914 indeed.
Is a Alienware worth getting
If you could get parts at retail price then build it yourself which is much better. But if you can’t get them or don’t know hot to build then the Alienware is pretty good.

how is the noise level on the new fan? I have a R12 on the way and am a little worried about the stock fan noise levels. thanks! great vid
For that, you can refer to my other video where I changed all the fans in R11. They are the fans in R12. And I have before and after in that video.
The Corsair fans are so good
After replacing, I started up my PC to Pre-Boot System Performance Check screen. In this screen, the computer tested both top and front fans. I get a message stating that the Front Fan failed to respond correctly….
