      completely agree, Alienware computers are the worst, charging premium price for less than minimum.
      I've purchased 4 Alienware desktops over the years, my last one was a 10700F + 3060Ti, I was getting CPU bottlencked in some games so I tried to upgrade to a 11900K, then the problems began. First of all, the case will only support 1x120mm top exhaust, that's it, no room for more exhaust at top even though there totally is room for it; and no room for rear exhaust because it's kinda form-factor; fine, I don't need to overclock 11900K, stock performance will be enough, then no matter how I was only getting 80% stock performance, after extensive research, turns out the motherboard is the cheapest crap there is, and cannot deliver enough voltage to run 11900K to reach stock performance.
      But I gotta thank Alienware to make a self-builder out of me, it forced me to become an expert so I don't get "scammed" again.
      On the other hand though, Alienware monitors are actually top of the line; been eyeing on this for a while and finally got my 3423DWF last month on a nice discount, can't argue with the results, the monitor bring games to life.

      So I have a great system that one of the 4 NVME drives under the mobo's own cooling fin plate always seems to heat up. It's also closest to the GPU. So i just removed the glass on the case, opened it like an intake scoop on a car. Then set a floor fan on the ground, that gets into case and cools me off at the same time. problem solved.

    I have an Aventum X. I had the same issue with temps. I posted about it on their forums, and they sent me a replacement side panel with venting over where the fans are. It was not tempered glass like the original cover, but instead some type of acrylic panel. The temps drastically improved and can sustain at great levels. I'm surprised this isn't standard now.

    • @MLWJ1993
      @MLWJ1993 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    • @jasons5916
      @jasons5916 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

I was able to get the same parts I had picked out for the same price as ordering them myself, within a few dollars. And they overclocked it for a $35 fee, which wasn't something I was comfortable with doing back then. I only fully replaced that computer in 2020 (I had made many upgrades). Boy, have they changed.

    Being in HVAC and dealing with airflow's quite a bit, I've always hated the fans being mounted directly on the radiator with literally no room for those fans to build +/- static. A friend of mine 3D printed a 1" spacer for a 360 radiator and the airflow through the radiator was night and day! I know it's all about saving space and money but feel these manufacturer's could do better in this area. Look at the money and time spent on that cooling system your reviewing only for it to be held back by simple airflow etc. I'm waiting on my 3D printer to arrive and will be building more spacers and trying different thicknesses. Just my 2 cents lol. Appreciate all your content!

    On my 14900KS and 4090 system with a MoRa 420, I have two D5 pumps in series on the MoRa. Each pair of 13/10 quick connects (2 male and 2 female) drop the flow rate by 0.4L/min with the pumps at full speed. I've got a pair into the case and another pair on the CPU block for easy LM replacement. Without quick connects the full flow was 5L/min. All of the quick connects in that system are a major flow inhibitor with a single D5! An external MoRa 420 with 4 x 200mm fans at about 1000 makes far more sense for cooling top end systems.

    I think the included QDC pair is so you can do a vacuum fill. The GPU lines rotate out of the way and you patch in your vacuum + fluid supply there. Do a vacuum fill there, reconnect the GPU, then either run the pump to fill the GPU or repeat the same steps by patching into one of the CPU lines (which should now be completely filled). If you have a pair of male QDC fittings, you could also just vacuum fill the GPU directly before reconnecting it to the system.

    Sadly I can confirm what Jay said about Alphacool's version of the D5 pump. I bought one in April 2023 when they had a drive and it worked flawlessly until one day in July this year when it suddenly started to sound like a fan inside the chassi got something in it. Except, it was a few of the blades in the impeller that had loosend. I disassembled it and sent it back and got a new one. I haven't started using the new one cause something makes a noise of vibrations now. I don't know if it is the new pump per say, or of it is just the vibrations affecting something else.
    It hurts me to say this because I've been true to Alphacool ever since my first AIO loop that was expandable, and I have a love for German engineering. I had wished I heard this from Jay sooner, but at least I know now.

      Sorry but not possible. You can't cut tempered glass, it's just not possible. All you will get is a heap of small glass cubes as the pane shatters. All holes or edges has to be done prior to the glass being tempered. So adding air intakes would require you to get a new glass pane done with the required holes for the fans.

    When the brute force method for case airflow matches the brute force method for getting the damn thing out of the box. . . and we still don't get all the cooling performance we paid for.

They were probably told this by many outlets since the dawn of this colossus, and they're just like ". . . nu uh" every time.

    That water must be running at a crawl with all those radiators, disconnect fittings, and distribution plate. I'll bet that's where most of the bad temperature is coming from. When I made my first custom loop, making my pump go from 30-40%(Had it set here at first because I was new to it and was trying to "preserve" my pump not realizing I was crippling my system) to 100% dropped system temperature by easily 20°C or more if I recall. Max water speed is very important. If the water isn't moving fast enough then components don't get a fast enough flow of "fresh" water to help control the temperatures.

Then lift the cover half of the box away exposing the product and it's protection sitting on the box tray. Last separate the protection and the product for the first lift since receiving it or otherwise the same step if you cut open the box flaps without having to manhandle it up to that point. Save allot of heavy awkward lifting this way though makes for a fun tape job if you need to RMA it.

      You kind of need a laser to do that. And not just any laser, has to be a special laser capable of cutting tempered glass. But finding someone with the equipment to do the job and paying them hundreds of dollars to make the $8300 PC not suck sounds about right, I guess...

      In the middle of the Pandemie i once had a Customer who ran to Dozens of Glaziers and wanted to have a Mesh drilled into the Glasspanels of a similarly stupidly arranged Pair of Radiator fans... few attempted the Task but no one succeeded. This wasn't even possible with new special Glasses and Water Jet Cutters. After the Customer had invested an additional one and a half Thousand €uros in this more than 10K€ Computer, the Customer gave me his expensive special Construction to Dismantle and I then built a reasonable System in a TT TheTower900 for another 1000€.

      ​@@LotsaThingsNstuff i was thinking the same. Like dayum they already have the circles in the design go head nn laser cut circles out for air. Or if they could do like a glass mesh design with a laser would be sick. I have a feeling they would still fuck up the mesh idea tho. I feel like the big companies will try what ppl want but execute the idea poorly

      So someone makes the glass for them ( or they do ), whoch means they should be able to get the equipment, doesnt it ?
      Or is it possible to be making custom tempered glass without the cutting equipment ?

    As soon as I saw those glass doors I was like 'Yeah, this doesn't have the airflow for all those fans I already see.' I don't know why case makers keep making cases that restrict airflow over prioritizing it when it comes to high end builds.

    It isn't a "premium price tax", it's price gouging. I would guess their customers are one of two types. They tell someone to get a computer for them, or they just go "give me the best". But make no mistake, they are just gouging.
    If you had the time, or wanted to bother, re-configure the fans, especially the bottom ones. Make the air flow on the bottom one way. And then take those glass panels to a glass cutter. Holes for all the fans.
    This thing is bragging rights for those that can afford it, and a mockery for those that know about computers.

      The glass cutter part if your comment was my first thought. I felt like they forgot to cut out and put mesh on the holes instead of leaving it solid.

  • @GaryGreene1977
    @GaryGreene1977 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If they want to keep the glass, good tempered glass can have slits or other cutouts in the glass to allow for at least _some_ airflow. The front needs mesh too to allow for the front fans to breath, and same with the other side of the case

    For an $8k computer that is poorly designed enough to cause a greater than 10c cooling delta when you use the case as designed, I think you're being extremely generous. For that money I expect not only complete, up to the minute accurate instructions, but a video to go with it and a concierge phone number and/or chat to use if I have problems or just want my hand held.

    As a result: RAM - no airflow, chipset - no airflow, SSD - no airflow, HDD cages - no airflow. The temperature at the CPU is just crazy!! The assembly is bad.

      Mostly, but the new AMD parts will shoot for 95c by default with PBO as he said. So if it stays even a bit under 95c the CPU will remain at max boost

    My 7900xtx draws 400W+ constantly in timespy extreme and never goes above 52°C on dual 360 raids.
    For the price of that computer they could easily cut out round holes in the glass for the fans and use some Mesh glued on the inside.

    Dual gpu is not dead, using lossless scaling i use the 3070ti i just upgraded from to generate frames for my 7900xtx. I am getting way beyond 4090 performance although with slight visual artifacts. I can run helldivers at 1440p max settings with ultra supersampling at 300 + fps. Base of around 70 fps with 4x generation no upscaling. Plug your main monitor up to your second gpu then in lossless scaling choose that same gpu and its screen to output to. I set the sync mode to off (Allow tearing) but with a variable refresh rate monitor so its still smooth however i've also noticed that there are less artifacts the higher above my refresh rate the generated fps is. Honestly very happy with my pc rn although its an oven. very reminiscent of the old sli / crossfire days however i think i can maybe argue that i get more out of a second gpu this way, plus it doesn't need to match. (Hopefully this helps someone get a decent performance boost if they have a somewhat recent gpu laying around)

      Interesting, what's the performance hit of Lossless Scaling, like how many more frames do you get by offloading lossless scaling to the 3070ti vs using lossless scaling on the 7900xtx alone?
      I own a old 1080ti, and I do use Lossless Scaling too so I was wondering.

      @@greggreg2458 Well you basically get the full performance of whatever card you are rendering the game on. I get a very small performance drop but that may just be due to a cpu bottleneck (5800x non3d). say 5-10 fps really not much. I am getting over 90% usage from both cards so it is very power hungry. I have them both overclocked too so my setup is pulling upwards of 700-800 watts from gpu alone ;P
