Amazing how over complicated Alienware / Dell made this case to disassemble compared to previous Dell computers I have had in the past. Thanks for the video. My R13 is just over a year old and is disgusting looking inside.
To get that bracket back in all you have to do is push up on the video card a bit and it slides right back in. You will see the metal part of the card stops the bracket as it needs to be in the tiny slot
Really nice video man, it’s very easy to follow, and fun to watch, the music, how you explain, the edit, they are just right. And thx for giving me some credits. You are kind. Sorry I didn’t help to include how to assemble it back lol, I was making fun hahahaha.
Great video and information, but I would like to add some important things that you missed, that should be included in your tutorial. I explained it below on what to do, and I listed my train of thought for a couple sentences, but I did hit the important parts that needed to be addressed. I’m a 100% disabled Veteran, and I’ve got my Dome(head) rocked several times in Afghanistan from IEDS, a VBIED, and a Jdam that was dropped danger close. So my brain no longer functions in a linear way, so all of my thoughts flood my thinking all at once, and I have a hard time trying to organize them without going off course. Another tip for people who are having High temp issues with their PC, if you have LED lights on everything, like your ram, liquid coolers, and fans, etc. turn them off during the day when it’s hot, because they generate heat as well. Oh, if you are noticing that your GPU is running hotter than before, it’s because the plastic plate you removed, but couldn’t put it back, it actually blows air to your GPU, and helps push the heat out back towards the cooler. Just to add something that is very important when removing the cryotek cooler and fan completely out. When you put the cooler back onto the metal plate, make sure to clean the metal plate, and then add brand new thermal paste onto the metal plate, because if you don’t do that when you do a full cleaning, it will increase your chances of overheating your intel or and chip. When I first got my custom R13 3080ti and tried to return it to exchange for a 4090 that was $800 cheaper, and the only upgrades to the PC were the 4090 and a 13th gen i9KF. The rest were 512Gb SSD with 1TB HD at 5400rpm vs my DDR5 32GB ram, 1TB Nvme ssd, 2TB Sata HD at 7200rpm, and my 12th gen i7K(the only one unable to OC. Anyway the first thing that I did was check the thermal paste on the contacts of the cooler/intel chip, and sure enough they didn’t do a good job on putting thermal paste, and used a brand that doesn’t really do anything to help with the heat. I changed all of my stock fan blades with ones that can spin at 20% under heavy load, and keep the temperature a consistent 70C. Then I added a 240mm push and pull liquid cooler mounted up front, and upgraded my ram to 64GB with no LEDs and in enclosed cases to reduce heat. Seems like they originally had designed the liquid cooling system to be mounted up front, but then changed their minds about it later, because inside starts to look cramped, and makes the case look really small w/o any room. Another thing that you want to do as well is to probably flush or check the coolant level, and determine if you need to flush out the liquid or just top it off. If you are playing on a game with minimal settings, then a few minutes later your fans are screaming loud, it’s a good chance that it’s time to put new thermal paste, and try to have your Nvme SSDs/Ram with enclosed cases that reduce the heat from warming up you GPU. So just remember that anytime that you’ve had the R13 or any PC for more than a year, and you are finally going to clean up all of the dust build up that’s also causing the high temps. You always need to buy thermal paste to help decrease the temp by 5c to 10C, and if possible swap out the fans for a cheaper better brand, that uses less power power than what came with the PC, and you’ll never hear the fans go above 30% nor make any noise. Always check the liquid to see if it’s got gunk build up, and/or low levels of coolant that are dangerously close from damaging your PC.
Just figured out the issue with the bracket you were not able to put back in. Was having the same issue. You need to push the panel coming out of the gpu into the bracket. Its a tight fit! I think its just so your GPU isnt bending
For the part you couldn't get back in, i found it just takes a little oomf for it to slide into place but it bears a bit of pressure on the fan. Didn't have an issue when I reinstalled it.
That front panel dust will defo get you to watch a vid like this 😂 (after noticing the dust on my Aurora, it started bugging me so I knew I had to see how to open the damn thing)
Hey, man! Thanks for the awesome video!! I've also watched the video from Alienware Support but man.... it was the most useless! However, your video is easy to follow and informative! I'm subscribing your channel now! Have a good day, man!
Hi Sui Filet i have a question for you it looks like the inside of my Alienware R13 see through side panel is bubbling up like a tint job would any thoughts?
I'm baffled the guy from the original tutorial knew how to dismamtle his PC, but didn't know how to put it back together and didn't warn the viewers beforehand lmao
Take a mascara applier and it picks up dust like a magnet. I was able to clean the whole of this same computer in about 20 minutes. With disassembly!!!
I lived in China from '05-'20, right before the pandemic I was visiting the US, and ended up staying because I knew China was(and still is) gonna be crazy with covid restrictions. I assume you're originally from China, right? Where?
Just use an electric air duster instead of a compressed can. It will suck the dust in instead of blowing it out around or back into the pc . That way you dont even need to dissemble anything. Just brush the front side panel with its nozzle and let it suck the dust in. Matter of fact, dont ever use a compressed can. Theres always some gas/liquid thats eventually going to come out of it.
Ok, it seems "easy" but I am sure I will fail, but I need to clean it, as this front part is... just awfull, how Dell had been able to imagine such "s****t"... oh ok it's nice looking, but a dust nest ! they could have thought about an easy way to clean this front part without having to disassembling so many pieces.
dude that bee hive on the front of the PC has got to be one of the worst ideas ever, at least in terms of the part that needs the most cleaning and is hardest to get to. after we did the power and cleared the lest over powder my wife used a combination of pipe cleaners with strips of electrostatic strips of cloth attached. Must easier to do.

A tip for the front part, a small wire brush like for cleaning drinking straws works good at grabbing the dust behind the glass front.
We can’t open that part ?
wait, so how do we put it back together T.T lol

i’m too scared to open it up and disassemble it 😭 i know i won’t be able to put it back together
You can still clean it without taking it off, just use air duster

Thanks for the comment man! And glad you enjoyed the video! I'll keep finding inspiration from your tech videos!
@@suifilet No problem, anytime.

that one black piece at the start had me worried aswell (i watched 0 videos like a caveman) its just kinda hard to put back in

Omg thank you for this it was so helpful my Alienware was really dusty but now it’s clean!
Great tutorial! I didn’t do a deep clean but I did clean all fans and the front piece. Super easy to re install all fans and clips.
The expressions alone were worth watching the video.😀
appreciate the love!
that grill in the front collects alot of dust...
Looks like most of the air enters the case through the front panel. Too bad they didn't offer a prefilter to catch most of it.
Thank you for your video! I really needed to clean mine, and i was scared to do it on my own. This really reassured me! Thank you sm!!!:)
Very informative. Please make a video of you cleaning your dog
I do that all the time, have to do it shirtless or something to make it special
Sui 1: technology 0
Great storytelling and editing as usual!!🫶🏻
Thanks baby!
Informative video! The real question is how much did your K/D go up once you got the PC back to full strength?
We'll see tonight! #diamondgang
That front panel dust will defo get you to watch a vid like this 😂 (after noticing the dust on my Aurora, it started bugging me so I knew I had to see how to open the damn thing)
Thanks! I just ordered an Aurora R15!
Good move, enjoy!
Thanks for video very helpful and entertaining.
I tried to make a very boring task a bit more fun, glad you liked it!
Great Job. Clear and easy to watch.
yo mike隋！！我找R13 cleaning vids 居然找到你的频道了哈哈哈！Good luck with your new endeavors
That bracket it's to stableize the gpu there is a thin piece of metel that slides into the bracket from the gpu
Yeah I tried to fit it in and it doesn't want to slide in, oh well!
Am I watching Sui trying to fix his Mark 42 suit? Unplug, clean, reassemble, charge, fly.
lol, this is much harder than an ironman suit
I wish you would have shown how you removed the gpu
I vacuum my PC all the time. Is still works.
you vacuum inside too?
Great share. Thanks

Hi Sui Filet i have a question for you it looks like the inside of my Alienware R13 see through side panel is bubbling up like a tint job would any thoughts?
did the screwdriver come with the pc? i might have missed that bcs i cant open the screw with all screws that fit in there
I'm baffled the guy from the original tutorial knew how to dismamtle his PC, but didn't know how to put it back together and didn't warn the viewers beforehand lmao
please do an Aurora R16. That thing seems even worse
This is great, thank you so much
Who know , where I can buy clear side panel on aurora r13
Take a mascara applier and it picks up dust like a magnet. I was able to clean the whole of this same computer in about 20 minutes. With disassembly!!!

Great video. Super helpful thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Where the heck to you live, inside a dryer vent? My was filthy when I received it.
You're awesome man
Thank you for your video, it reminds me how dirty my computer is, cat and dog hair collection container😂
Did you try to clean your PC?
How to put back together
Nice Video!! Mine has been off the floor so not as dirty but still needs a clean! ;-) thanks
I can’t get out the fan plugs
No way I am pulling it all apart - open up and can of air for me.
Very good video and u seem cool guy ;) very cool to follow
What a great video thank you so much
Sui, are you Beijing dude in entertainment?
I just read your about section and found out that you have lived in China? Are you still?

Nice vid! My pc is disgusting as Frick as well 🤢 🤮 lol
gotta clean that shhh, improves your k/d
Yo! Want to make one for the R16? Haha
Be very careful with the front panel, the top latch is very fragile.
Just use an electric air duster instead of a compressed can. It will suck the dust in instead of blowing it out around or back into the pc . That way you dont even need to dissemble anything. Just brush the front side panel with its nozzle and let it suck the dust in.

Why did Alienware add an unnecessary bracket? LOL
CUSE BABY
Yeah… this is too much work for me.😂 I’ll just send my PC back to DELL/ALIENWARE or someone professional, lol.
Yeah never put your pc on the floor show it off on your desk a must!

wheres the how to not buy a alien aurora r13
I dunno, I might post a video about "How my friend gifted me this R13, and I'm fine with that"
tried, still can't remove the top cover, it's too tight.... maybe i will try it again later
