Just a heads up, in the video the radiator fan is installed blowing air in the wrong direction for this machine. Air intake should come in the front and blow out the top. The way the fan is aimed in the video would be drawing air through the radiator and blowing it into the case.
You’ve got two intake fans, you should flip the top one to exhaust and you should use zipties because that white tie can fry your motherboard because it has metal in it.
Just ordered my R8, first Alienware and first gaming PC...specs: i5-9600k, rtx 2060 super, 16gb ram, killer wifi, liquid cooling with 850 power supply, 512gb ssd and 1tb hdd, cant wait gonna start by replacing this fan just ordered it!
I have that exact same cpu cooling set up however, wouldn't you want the fan to be facing the other direction for the airflow to push towards the outside of the radiator?
Most of the vacuum sound was coming from the top fan and the CPU fan.. once those got replaced, the front fan would make the sound under heavy work loads
For the cpu fan, you just have to make sure you plug the plugs back in the same spot as the original plugs.. if that doesn’t work. Let me know and I’ll put up a video of me taking out the H60 and putting it back in
Raydog614 hey could you make a video of you puting the h60 on please im kinda new to the pc world and i dont want to screw up my pc because i did somthing wrong..... i would apriciate it if you would make a tutorial on how to instal it
All of the chats online say all the software updates don’t fix anything.. if you replace the top fan with the Corsair H60.. that will eliminate the sound. If you don’t want to do that, just get better fans (top, CPU, and Front). Just make sure they run at 1700rpm or higher
Hey. thanks for this video. I did the same install a couple of years ago, but I don't think it has ever worked properly. First, the computer has never recognized the fan. The Corsair has a 4 pin fan connector and a 3 pin pump connector. The mobo connectors are all 4 pin. I have the 4 pin plugged into top fan, and the 3 pin plugged into cpu fan, but doesn't seem like it matters. to make matters worse, the 3 pin is very loose. I just ordered a 4 pin to 3 pin adapater to see if that helps. I just wondered how you have you Corsair plugged in. Thanks!
After replacing cpu plus top fan with corsair h60 like yours. And replace front fan... now the power supply fan stand out being noisy when using more power.... end up have to replace power supply as well....dell use cheap parts.
No hindering that Ive noticed.. graphics card stays nice a cool... Adding liquid cooling is the key for the R8 makes a huge difference. I would have loved to find an Alienware liquid cooling but I couldn’t find one lol
No.. once you remove the heat sink and fan from the CPU, the four holes that the heat sink was screwed into are used.. the Corsair comes with eight double sided screws. The long ones are the ones needed and they just screw right into the motherboard.. no back plate needed
Yeah the configuration of the R8 with the liquid cooled cpu and 2080 super would take care of the vacuum sound.. from what I’ve seen and experienced, it’s the air cooling that causes the loud noises..
Great video. Subscribed. I just got the Alienware Aurora R8 with the liquid cooled option. For me, in the Alienware OC application, it only shows temperature and fan speeds for the TOP fan and the FRONT fan. I'm confused why I don't have the CPU fan tab?
Its probably because you have the liquid cooled version. I got an r7 and went with a non liquid cooled version for the cpu so In my command center I do have the cpu fan option. For liquid cooled version you don't really need the cpu fan tab as you don't have a cpu fan to begin with. So the software for you're system will not have it.
The top fan comes right out the opening to the case, no need to take the other side or top of the case off.. you just take one screw out on the fan bracket and it all comes out.. No the thermal paste was cleaned off and I used the thermal paste that came pre applied on the Corsair H60
Does that sound card hinder the graphics fan from cooling the card? Also, My R8 came with an aluminum heatsink and a bootleg small fan so I found the OEM Alienware Water Cooling system on eBay for $56.00 and that made a huge difference.
Hey did you have to take the motherboard out to install a backplate for the liquid cooling upgrade from fan I just got my R8 and I want to upgrade to liquid cooling as well
I've got this very computer. It's super! My question, do these mods affect my warranty? I've heard that DELL doesn't like to have their computers "messed with."
I purchased the liquid cooling option for my aurora r8 and unfortunately it is still loud... Do you know how I can check on the types of fans/liquid cooling I currently have in my set up? Thanks for your help!
After I switched to the Corsair H60 liquid cooling for the CPU.. the noise stopped with initial video editing.. but after a little bit the front fan kicks on and is loud so replacing that got rid of the vacuum completely
Ok, I see, maybe I focus too much on the gpu but it might be the liquid cooling system, it worked 3 months and it has a malfunction now. Just to be sure, when you're talking about the vacuum noise, it's coming from the gpu while hot air is flowing out at the back of the desktop? Or was it coming from the front fan?
The holes should just light right up and you can use the screws that come with the liquid cooled radiator and attach it right to it.. then the radiator and the fan just sit right up in the space at the top
Thank you for this video. Mine is still under warranty so I'll check with Dell. I'm struggling with this vacuum noise since the middle of May, 3 months after delivery. And my solutions were using gpu fan curves in EVGA X1 Precision and lowering graphics settings. Did the vacuum noise come with hot air from the back of your gpu? Therefore, I have to focus on the front fan, like you said at the end of the video. Sure there's something wrong with temperature, I thought there was something wrong with OC controls in the Command Center and the bios. But the recent updates didn't fix that issue. And even a reset to factory settings wasn't enought to get rid of it. Indeed, it is a hardware issue if I well understood.
I had to remove the front fan to compensate the new RTX 3080, any ideas on work arounds because there wasn’t any room to fit the GPU without getting rid of the fan, any suggestions on what could be done to get an alternative air flow to the front?
@@StrayDog614 Thanks for the video. A couple more questions. Did you have to remove the other side or the top portion of the case to get the old top fan out? Also, you just left the original thermal paste on?
@@Slappula aite buddy saw this so i thought id answer, its possible to do it without because the radiator goes in the fan case so tight it wont ever move but best thing to do it have the top off push the rad all the way in and screw it too the top of the fan cage with the lil s rews the provide. Also clean the old thermal paste off your cpu and the liquid cooling unit comes with pre applied paste. If you have to have another go at putting it on its best to renove the paste again and set some new on there. I didnt have to reset it but thats what iv read elsewhere
It will error code and not boot up if the front case fan is not the right fan.. it has to be the fan in the video or equivalent.. the key factor is it has to be 1700 rpm or more.
Raydog614 hey can you upload a video on how to install the H60 and can I do this even if there is already liquid cooling inside? I just want to change the top and front fans so it doesn’t sound like an A380 taking off in my room.
Nice video man👍 i have question please : I have removed the front fan to fit a bigger graphics card! I have stock liquid cooling by Alienware for the cpu. Now do you think my system will run into heating problem ? Do you think the front fan is necessary ? THANKS in advance.
I actually just did this.. I put the same fan I did for the front fan on the top and attached it to the liquid cooled radiator.. put it adds some light to the whole inside.. you can always use one of the multi colored ones instead of just the white ones.. just make sure they can do the 1700rpm
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I've ordered another ML120 for the top fan. Unfortunately, the R8 service manual doesn't make any reference on how to attach the top fan to the liquid cooled radiator. Is it just a case of plugging a connection in somewhere? I'm pretty new to this but couldn't stand the noise on the R8 anymore so started looking for solutions. Brilliant video and so helpful in making the noise more tolerable - thanks again.
Once I removed the old fan and hardware off the CPU... the Corsair came with 8 double sided screws, 4 short and 4 long.. It takes the 4 long screws on my computer.. they screwed right in, no bracket needed
It pissed me off, that I cant find the OEM alienware water cooler either. :( Thanks for your vid. I've been looking at the h55-h60 and h80i(dual 120mm fan might be too deep to fit) for my aurora r7. This helps a lot
In case anyone is still looking around for CPU cooler, I just chatted with Dell support. They quoted me $109.99 for the CPU cooler (MH0HN) and $144.99 for the fan assembly (PP749). I was hoping to stay stock but $268.49 (with tax) is crazy when the H60 kit has both the cooler and radiator fan for ~$60-80.
Had a similar problem with the fan noise all I did was update the bios and it seemed to resolve it in case anyone wants to try that before doing the upgrade you can find the bios update on dell's website
If you got the same one I did, the R8 with the intel core 9700k.. the noise is just the computer. No heat issues, that how it is with bring air cooled.. if you don’t want to do liquid cooling.. just upgrade all three fans.. the 120mm top and front fans, and the 80mm cpu fan.. that will help a bit
I got the same core but maybe it's not exactly the same issue. I'm doing some tests by increasing the front fan fixed value in addition with a custom gpu fan curve on X1. I don't know why but even in performance, it stays at 12% in auto-management. I tried with 22% but it set the fan at 31% once in game, weird. But it seemed way better and I have to do further tests. I'll keep you posted!
Hi. Thank you for the vid. do you have a video installing the H60? also do you have a video of the new front fan under heavyloads? does it still make a loud noise?
Edward Drazel G. Abadinas I will be putting up a video of the H60 install soon.. the front fan under heavy loads will still make noise like any fan.. but it’s not nearly as loud as it was. Instead it’s more of a smooth fan sound at high speeds.. no up and down like a fan. And only last a minute or less. Was on the computer doing multiple things and it didn’t make a sound until I was 4-5hour in and only did it once
I have my h60 installed and also replaced the front fan mine just lights up but does not spin and also when I start my computer now from shutdown it throws a error for cpu fan not found
Hasan Kalim I did not have to take out the motherboard or the back bracket.. the H60 comes with two different size double sided screws that bolt right into the motherboard
I called Dell today, they are aware of the issue and told me the Bios update v1.0.7 will fix my problem which seems to be different from yours. It didn't fix it for me, and the top fan makes now more noise than before in Thermals Perfomance (46% instead of 24%). And the vacuum noise from the gpu is still often occuring.
I've installed H60 on my alinewre aurora but I am getting a bios error, also ML120 pro front fan, getting a error for that too, which bios version are you running on ? Do you know how to fix it
I have never opened a pc before and I was thinking of changing the front fan with this one using this tutorial but I’m scared I will mess up and destroy my pc. Is it hard to do this? And is it safe?
It’s normal to feel a little scared having never done it before.. to change the front fan. Just pay attention to the direction of the fan and where you unplugged it from.. just put the new fan back the same way as you took the old one out and plug it back into the same spot... you do fine
3 left feet lol... no backplate was needed. The cooler came with pegs that screwed right into the holes where the old heat sink was mounted.. just had to pick the right sized ones.
@@StrayDog614 just making sure, as it turns out the air-cooled models also have a stock backplate installed for the appropriate coolers. Thanks for the video, installed the H60 yesterday, idle temps are still higher than I'd expect, mid to high 30's, with fans set low, but my temps under load are about 20C cooler. Thanks again for this!
@@StrayDog614 Me too, it was a pain to install, even without having to completely remove the motherboard. I have the aurora r9 chassis, looks great but a real pain to work with.
I’ve never played fortnite so couldn’t tell you.. but will be playing some remnants from the ashes.. but so far doing video editing and my kid playing some games on it at the same time.. barely a sound

Hi, from the video it seems the radiator fan is flipped to suck air into the case is that right? It may just be the video angle...
You are the man
Very informative to beginners like me! Great video

I believe there is a config which comes with liquid cooled 2080Super? Does that also help reduce the vacuum sound? Thanks.
ZhiGong Liu it’s usually just the front and top fan causing the problem
It would have been good IF YOU HAD SHOWN US HOW TO GET THE LIQUID COOL IN THE CASE
No.. once you remove the heat sink and fan from the CPU, the four holes that the heat sink was screwed into are used.. the Corsair comes with eight double sided screws. The long ones are the ones needed and they just screw right into the motherboard.. no back plate needed
Okay thanks I am probably going to do the install this weekend for the liquid cooler and front fan
Challenger 23 how did it go?
but what about the Command center software? and the Pump failure at boot up,?
I saw the video it was good have a question on your front air flow fan is that a 4 pin or 3 pin I have the same PC.
That would be a personal choice.. the Alienware one of fine but if you feel you want to upgrade it to something you think is better you can
You know you can just reply right?

@Raydog614 would this work with the alienware R9?
Hi Raydog614, where did you connect the SATA Power of the Pump for the Liquid Cooling System?
No it’s 120mm fan and yes it can be RGB
Is there an RGB header on this motherboard?

Thanks man your a life saver
No... I play my PS4 through the HD60 pro in the computer running OBS, video editing and stream elements and no noise
Do you have any idea what model rtx 2060 that is? I got the same thing
Did you take anything apart or just did it with everything intact like graphics card etc when installing the cooler? Was it easy to work on?
I left everything in place. Only removed the top fan, heat sink, and cpu fan. All the parts your replacing in the first place
How would you replace the top fan if needed? Would you have to remove the entire cooler to do so?

@@StrayDog614 Thanks so much for the quick reply! Looking to do this upgrade this week!

3 left feet your welcome, glad the video helped you and you got it installed.
@@StrayDog614 Me too, it was a pain to install, even without having to completely remove the motherboard. I have the aurora r9 chassis, looks great but a real pain to work with.
3 left feet so you have the new one.. yeah it looks cool.. I want the new 27inch monitor Alienware made. Just wish it was curved
what gpu did you have in this video?
Which you showed how to install the cpu cooling …
12:35 what program is?
thank you man.
how does the new fans sound when it goes on fortnite?
Do you have to install software
for the fan
Sick Bricks Brothers no, I did not need to install any software.. I was able to just plug and play the fan
I’ve never played fortnite so couldn’t tell you.. but will be playing some remnants from the ashes.. but so far doing video editing and my kid playing some games on it at the same time.. barely a sound
All fan has to be 1700 rpm.
i can’t take out the original fan
Is your Alienware still loud?
No, I barely hear it anymore.. in the most extreme circumstances I might hear the fan speed up but it’s just a minor noise and 75% quieter then it was
@@StrayDog614 what fan curve did you use
A small screw driver and a lot of pressure
Why di you make a new comment instead of replying
This is why you shouldn't by pre builds ;)
