Alienware Aurora R13/R14 GPU Repasting - Fixing Dell's MISTAKES!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- This video will show anyone with an Alienware Aurora R13 or R14 disassemble and fix the GPU thermal paste for better thermals. This Noctua NT-H2 thermal paste: amzn.to/3tlj69c is one of the highest rated thermal pastes on the market right now and we're going to use it to not only repaste the GPU itself but also add paste in areas there should have been thermal paste. This will bring down VRAM temps significantly as well and will finally allow us to mine crypto without the computer crashing!

Your videos are great. I just bought an R13, largely based on your review, and all your R13 videos have been really helpful for replacing parts. Your camera angles are perfect, you show exactly what I need to see, and they allow for pausing and zooming in. Thanks for being one of the few tech reviewers that get it
Thank you M M ! Yeah I found that I got irritated myself when How To videos that I watched were too slow when I just wanted to get the info and start as soon as possible. So I decided to make mine quicker even though TH-cam pays me less for shorter videos. Making you guys happy is more important :)
How many hard drive 3.5 inch bays are in the R13? In fact...are there any? I need at least 3/4...
You can repaste all you want. The CPU is being power limited right out of the box. The supplied 120mm Cyro tech or whatever they call it is not sufficient to cool an I9 12900k. Dell's answer, power limit it. You wont get anywhere near 5.20 with it. 4.90 with the occasional spike and lots of throttle limiting. Dell have sold people a lemon that is unable to reach its full potential by design. The heatsinks on the board on closer inspection are tiny and look like they came straight from the XPS factory. The power supply also cant be replaced with anything other than a Dell one. Who else puts a tiny SSD in and then adds a standard hard drive for games storage on a top end pricey gaming rig? People need to understand with Alienware products if it breaks you better hope it is in warranty and Dell can fix it.
Yeah very true. Luckily with my Alienware laptop support has been very good but yeah the R13 has its own list of potential issues
Great video - thanks - I order the Nvidia 3070 8gb - I would assume its about the same and should be done?
Hey Rich, probably not as much of an issue on a 3070. I would check your VRAM temps when high performance gaming to check how hot it's getting before repasting
@@JustinTechTips Thanks!
Definitely going to do this. Your videos are perfect for beginners to get the confidence to dig into their PCs. Especially seeing someone working on exactly what I own so that it's familiar and easy to follow! Thanks for the hard work! Keep it coming!
Thank you Alex! Glad I could help!
Initial impressions after following your instructions: 10-12C drop using same power limit and OC settings I had been using before which gives me a little head room to improve hashrate without fear of killing my card. I’ll be playing with new settings and tweaking to see what kind of headroom I have now. This was so helpful. Thanks Justin!
No problem David Francis! Glad I could help!
Thank you
Another amazing video, man. My R13 has been shipped and I'm expecting it within a week. I'm really looking forward to making some of the changes I've seen on your channel.
Glad I could help Mr. Papagorgio! Congrats on your new machine!
Hey how long was the overall wait for your unit to get shipped? Mine has been taking months. I ordered an R10 and it’s been two months so they told me to upgrade to the R14 but it says it won’t be here till April.. Luckily the price stayed the same.
It's not just because of the thermal pace it's also because of the computer you have, the model, the equipment of components you have in the computer too as well especially that GPU that's sitting there the RTX
I bought my R13 a few months ago and it looks like there were a few changes. The GPU I have the screws are facing the opposite side. Not sure how to unsrew them. Guessing they did that to keep guys like me from repasting.
that's pretty lame to make it harder for the customer to do this kind of thing
Yes please don't over tighten screws. LoL. I stripped plenty of screws trying to install hardrives and removing a heatsink cause some dummy overtightened them. I like using ifixit tool kits. They come with magnetic screw drivers. They usually carry them at best buy too just incase you don't feel like waiting for shipping.I also got a neat set of stripped screw removing pliers. Has worked charms for me.
yeah JUSTSWITCHED! it really bugs me especially with Lenovo laptops how tightly those screws are on sometimes. Makes me feel like I'm about to break something!
@@JustinTechTips Yeah i stripped a screw in my new Alienware area 51m r1 trying to install a hardrive. I never was able to remove it.Im sure I could now with the tool I have.It sucked though. I don't have the laptop anymore though. I was hoping that dell would announced the area 51m r3. Looks like it's not happening. I just picked up a new beast though. Aorus 17x with a 2080 super. It runs way cooler than my m17 r3 and has a full mechanical keyboard
I wish the aurora come with rtx 40 series after they are released in September then I don't have to buy 2 gpu
Yeah that would have been really nice! I think they would need a beefier PSU than 750w though
Why didn't he use thermalgrizzly thermalpads instead, those thermalpads are the worse dell can put
Hey Rams Hacks, I didn't feel like the thermal pads was the issue as much as the lack of any thermal material on the part I added paste to
Great video, love the pace and before/after comparisons. Nice editing too, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jason! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yeah trying to make these How To videos shorter to save everyone some time
Hey Justin I found something Interesting today I pulled apart my 3080ti from my r13 and it had thermal paste on all the same areas you put your paste in this video and there was a lot of it also.
So it may be just the 3090s that have this problem or it was just missed on your 3090 I did reapply new h2 paste and it made no difference to thermals on the Gpu or memory thermals so the paste they used on mine was good and well applied I thought this was interesting. Ps love your videos keep up the great work.
Same here, just got an R13 with a 3080 in it, and it too had the proper zigzag thermal pasting. Those 3090's just get it rough.
Thanks ThatTechGuy! 🙂 I'm glad you're enjoying them! Yeah I'm not sure about the 3080Ti. I would have thought they would prioritize the 3090 with better thermal paste application
Dell: Yea nice video, and we're not going to fix it so our new future generation gets more likes
You do have a point there, RuthlessSlayer
I repasted my RTX 3070 and now the cards fans immediately crack up to full blast a couple of seconds after I start any game and stay that way, the computer says the GPU is functioning properly, I don’t get any errors and have reinstalled drivers a couple times, I also redid my first repaste job and can’t see anything that I’ve done wrong and it’s still doing it. The computer boots fine and everything works fine if I’m just browsing the web or steaming movies. Anyone have any advise?
Hmmmm, sorry HugeDeal86. I'm not sure about that. Are your temps also higher than they were before the repaste?
@@JustinTechTips I figured it out, the new thermal pads I used when I repasted where to thick.
This is exactly what I was looking for because I’ve never reposted a gpu. And although there are many gpu repaste vids out there it’s extremely helpful to see it done on the model I own. Thank you for this! Ordering the items from your links now.
Awesome! Glad I could help David! Yeah I tried to make this one different and faster than the others since I know people have limited time and don’t care much for slow How To videos
The cooler on the Alienware 3080’s are similar. I did the same repaste procedure and my VRAM went from 110 to 90. Only way you can mine on these higher end Dell cards.
Glad you got the same results dishsoap! 20 degrees lower is definitely worth it!
Any thoughts on getting an RGB ram cooler? Will any fit the OEM DDR5 sticks on the R13?
Keen to see a video on it!
Hey Debellate, I have yet to see any that would work for this yet
Hola amigo, tengo un alienware aurora R13, i7 12gen, 32gb ram, nvidia GeForce 3060, psu 750w. Quería actualizar mi gráfica a una 4080, podría hacerlo en mi equipo? Tendría espacio largo y ancho? La 4080 creo que le vale una psu 750w por lo que ahí estaría bien, sobre todo me preocupa el espacio, la idea es una GeForce rtx 4080 FE.
Podría instalarla en mi equipo alienware aurora R13.
Muchas gracias
Yeah a TH-camr named gamer haven was the first video I seen on this to put the past there and he also tested putting all new thermal pads no different in temperature at all with pads but the paste does wonders I’m getting around 102 vram temperature on NiceHash quick miner 120 hash rate using msi after burner too
nice! Yeah I love Nice Hash. I really don't understand why Dell didn't do this after all the complaints with the 3090 VRAM on the R12
@@JustinTechTips yeah me ethers probably saving it for the r15 and up
Hola, tengo un alienware aurora r13 con nvidia 3060, entiendo que una 4090 no me valdría por tamaño y por potencia de alimentación, podría montar una tarjeta nvidia 3090? O tendría que ser especial de Dell? Gracias.
Hi Justin, that’s a great walkthrough video 👍🏼. However it seems that one of the thermal pad has been damaged when you removed the backplate. Would you have considered to replace the pad or is is acceptable to leave it as it was ?
Hey Pierrick Lechien, no I don't think that effected it too much. It was still very stick and went back together very snug
What should I do if my PC (Aurora R13) couldn't load my game (Warzone 3). It lagged as soon as I click play. My PC doesn't have any other games downloaded.
Have you repasted the CPU as well? Do you think it's worth doing?
Hey Fuzzy Puppy, no I haven't done that and I don't think that the liquid cooled version would benefit from that out of the box. Maybe as it gets older but not right now
Did you get better 3D scores after the repaste?
That's a great question Dennis, unfortunately I didn't. My GPU technically wasn't crossing into throttle territory in any of the games because the temps didn't reach those levels. Mining crypto was the only major performance improvement I saw. I suppose as the computer gets older and newer games push the GPU past 90C it will effect performance more. This is more to prolong the lifespan of the GPU and all the fans to not have to work as hard (which will also bring noise levels down)
Any tips on adding LED's to the Green boring looking ram in the R13? I would like LED's that will work on the Ram already in the R13 and plug into the empty RGB slot on the R13 mother board.
i AM RUNNING 32GB OF RAM, I WANT TO INCRESE IT BY AN ADDIATONAL 32GB. ANY IDEA OF WHA I AM TO BUY? 32GB Dual Channel DDR5 at 4400MHz..
Hey everybody! does anyone can confirm these perf modifications? 20° seems insane and i'm a noob in hardware stuff... need to know if it's worth it :) :) thxx
My R13 has the i9-12000K with a 3080, does my 3080 need this repasting too? I just redid the thermal paste on my i9, dell used the thin pre applied paste on the small 120 aio, which also had some random blue film left over on the cooling plate. I used the Noctua to as I always have.
Thats very helpful! mine is 3080 and stays at 30-35C in idle, and 70-73C while gaming, not sure if I need to do the paste, what do you think, do I need to check or its good?
Glad you liked the video Sam! How hot does your VRAM get? It's listed as "Memory Junction Temperature" in HWinfo 70-73C while Gaming is pretty safe but even cooler will prolong the GPU's lifespan
@@JustinTechTips its the GPU temp at 70-75C while gaming, didn't check the VRam temp, checking it right now!
@@JustinTechTips I just checked, I'm using HWmonitor, the memory at 98C and the hot spot at 88C.
@@JustinTechTips So I had a bran new paste like yours, I applied just like what you suggested, I did notice the vRam dropped 10C, the GPU was the same. Thank you for this video, very helpful!
Subbed. Good video
Nice vid fella, I’m trying this tomorrow. I would take a 5c drop on the GPU and I would be very happy as that would lower the fan speed a lot!
Yeah Delboy, it's definitely worth the work. If not for right now at least for the future longevity of it.
Sound Justin, keep up the good work👍
I’m going to be honest, I had serious questions over your charts!!! But you my friend deserve some beers!!! Why or why do Dell not make msi do this mod as standard to their cards. I dropped 7c in Call of Duty on GPU temps, memory temps dropped hugely (like fucking massive drops) as well. Time to turn down the fans🤣👊🏻 Fair play mate…
Amazing video full of great tips. I can't believe there was so little paste when you opened it up. I've heard those wipes are the best too, just haven't tried them yet.
Than you Xombie! Yeah I don't know why in the world after all the complaints with the 3090 on the R12 for the same issue, that they didn't add more paste around the GPU. Seems lazy to me
@@JustinTechTips exactly just pure lazy. It's certainly not to cut on cost
Does this violate dells warranty?
Hey Maaz, on a Dell support forum, one of the Admins that work for Dell said this..
"The act of disassembling, cleaning thermal paste, applying new thermal paste, reassembly in itself does not void the warranty. If you break any components WHILE doing the work, that would void the warranty."
So basically it doesn't void it, but if you break something, they aren't responsible for that broken component
www.dell.com/community/Inspiron/Will-repasting-void-my-warranty/td-p/7247460
Hell yeah ive been waiting for this followup. Really wanted to see that pcb!
Glad you liked it Brandon! What were you hoping to see on the pcb? Or were you just generally curious about it?
@@JustinTechTips it looked like it was smaller than the standard reference 3090 pcb. That makes it both awesome for watercooling and putting in a small form factor build, and a very curious oddity. I find the OEM only cards extremely interesting and always like to see how they built them!
Would you recommend re-pasting the CPU as well?
Is it really that easy I stink at DYI. I use computer mostly for VR flight sims with a Pimax 8KX would I really need to do this
Hey Phil can you run Afterburner and Hwinfo during your most intense VR experience and let me know how hot your temps are getting? Even if you aren't throttling, you'll still benefit with a longer lifespan the lower your temps are.
I have a question. What software do you use for mining?
I use Nice Hash www.nicehash.com/ It's incredibly easy to use but I'll will probably be doing a video on that here soon as well
@@JustinTechTips Ok, thanks!
Hey Justin if you read this comment please suggest this to ROG. The problem with rog duo series is that its keyboard and trackpad so my idea is that the trackpad goes under the keyboard and the keyboard lifts and moves forward just like the new four side hinge so we will get a decent track pad and a full size keyboard. And a fingerprint reader just like we saw on the zephyrus g15 g14 m16 s17.
That’s a pretty good idea A M NAJEEB! Unfortunately I don’t have a relationship with ROG yet. The computers I’ve reviewed from them I had to buy and return
I remember you said that the alienware aurora r13 benchmark was a little lower then you expected, will doing this help that?
Unfortunately it didn't seem to help much with that but it did help a little with Crypto Mining as the biggest issue was the extra hot VRAM temps. It's also it prolong the life of the GPU by keeping temps lower
Getting that sticker residue off is work.
Yeah David Huggins, that was a pretty annoying process for sure
@@JustinTechTips I greatly appreciated your videos. I used th3 Noctua paste on both the 3080 GPU and repasted the CPU Cryo-Tech cooler. I added Sabrent Rocket heatsinks to the original 1TB SSD and the 2TB Sabrent Rocket I added to the system. Got the Noctua fans ordered but according to the tracking they have been waiting for carrier pickup for 2 weeks now. Looking at Sleeved extensions for my power cables next.
Follow up mining numbers 24 hours after repasting: Before repasting with 80% power limiting and custom core settings in Afterburner, I was averaging approx 106mh/s but the thermals would still average 98-100C on the vram. After repasting, I was able to achieve 120mh/s while lowering my thermals to 92C. I'm comfortable with 92C so I decided to up my hashrate instead of pushing the thermals lower. However, for those that want even lower temperatures, if I go with no OC and keep the power limit locked at 80, it drops to 88-90C. Everyone's machine as well as their ambient temps in the room will result in different experiences, but this is my experience and doing this was very helpful for me. Essentially, whatever settings I was using and fan speeds, I was able to achieve 8-12C difference. Highly recommended.
Glad I could help David Francis! Much more even better content coming soon! 🙂
Great vid i already done that with my 3080 in R13. Just a silly question, are you mining with your R13? Because R13s have LHR 3080s inside them:) R12 had still the full HR bandwidth.
Thanks MG. My 3090 wasn’t LHR though. I was getting up to a 122 hash rate
alright you get the sub
Thanks Red! 🙂 Glad to have you on the channel!

Hi, do you have any plans making upgrade RAM video? Thanks in advance.
Hey Lê Đức Bình, sorry no I didn't make one for that
I can tell you now I'm getting a new desktop for rendering, never for mining, but I'm sure temps are about the same under load. If I ever needed to upgrade the graphics card, repasting those areas before installing it sound like a good idea.
Yeah, Rushboard Technologies I agree!
Sweet video. I did this same upgrade to my RTX 3080 and saw the same improvements! Crazy Dell has carried on with this flaw since the R12??
Thank you Leo! Yeah I really don't understand why Dell still hasn't done this yet.
Can you upgrade the intel? And graphics card
wtf' you're better off buying a laptop in this case, like the x17
Definitely excited about the x17 R2.
How often should someone repaste their gpu?
I would say it would be good to do it every couple of years. The GPU itself on this new machine technically didn't need to be repasted, but I had to after opening it up.The area around it was what really needed thermal past to bring the VRAM temps down. After doing these steps I would say you are set for the next few years.
@@JustinTechTips Thanks man! My R13 is on the way so these videos are really helpful
Hi There, will you planing to do this on CPU as well? Can't wait to see it, thanks.
No unfortunately I wouldn't have been able to do an accurate comparison on performance as Dell support came in and replaced the who AIO liquid cooled CPU before I had a chance to test the before performance
Thanks for the video. Is this GPU a Dell-specific part or off the shelf? Amazing how much better the temps were.
Hey Peterson Family, it's a Dell version but this computer has the space for a full sized version
I did this and it worked great. I left the stock fans in due to their higher rpm and my mining heat stays between 78 and 84 degrees Celsius.
Glad I could help Spencer! Much more even better content coming soon! 🙂
Would u recommend R13 over the R12 for an extra 1300 CDN dollars. Similar specs with i9 CPU and RTX 3080Ti
Yeah Art, I definitely recommend the R13 over the R12 for that much money. And honestly as I'm working on the HP Omen 45L review.. that one is actually proving to be even faster bit.ly/HP-Omen-45L
@@JustinTechTips thanks, going to stick with the R13 for now
My new X17 arrived with defective speakers. Alienware will send out a new one but frankly I am planning to buy MSI in the future.
Hey Simone Fiorini, just ordered the 12th Gen MSI GE76! Really excited to see how fast it is!
@@JustinTechTips I'm waiting for a nice review ... 👍
Great one, how can they not do this at day 1! Guess they don't give a S***
Yeah I'm baffled that they didn't start doing this before sending them to customers
My R13 goes into standby mode constantly and then the GPU RTX light goes out and the whole system restarts. Any idea what would cause that
Hey Triple EHs that happened to me too when crypto mining with the extreme profile on Nicehash before I reposted. Which GPU do you have and what’s running on your comp when that happens?
@@JustinTechTips Sometimes all I’m doing is scrolling around on the internet, otherwise I’m doing light gaming like Valorant/League of Legends. I have a 3060ti
I’ve now received the Noctua paste and cleaning wipes but while trying to remove the card from the machine, that black catch that you instruct to flip to the right doesn’t seem to want to move for me. I’m kinda worried about breaking it and I can’t see the hinge mechanism to get a read. Does it have to flip forward to back first to unlock before I can flip to the right? Thanks
Hey David, if it feels very stuck.. Carefully guiding a flat head screwdriver on it and pushing with the tip of that should help vs just using your fingers
Nevermind I got it. I was just afraid to break it and use too much force :)
Thanks for a nice down and dirty GPU repaste video! Did you re-use the thermal pads?
Yeah I just reused those. They were pretty sticky still
this holds for the R11, as well. My 3080 was a hot mess until I repasted and repadded it
Glad you were able to get those temps down too Jay! It is definitely worth it even just for making the GPU last as long as possible!
Interesting I was going to do this mod when I took my GPU apart it already had plenty of paste in all of the portions you added to yours. So it seems the later models dell were preparing a little better. Makes sense I was always wondering why everyone was complaining about high Temps when my r13 never went over 75 degrees Celsius. I still removed the stock paste and added the noctua paste and now I am sitting at 51 idle and now on average of 66 while gaming at 4k-120fps rarely reaching the 70s and if it does it doesn't go over 71
Thanks Justin! I appreciate your informative videos! :)
No problem Brian Haines! Glad I could help!
Loved the video and the tips you provide are excellent. I have an Alienware R12 and have enjoyed it so far..may have to do some upgrades down the road. Also, your last video mentioned something about crypto mining ....do you have a video on that for I couldn't find it. THANKS!
Sorry for the late reply Geofrey! Here's a link to that video if you haven't seen it yet th-cam.com/video/dWREseo0sBY/w-d-xo.html

May I have some tips on how to get the output audio working for the aurora R13? I tried everything and nothing seems to work, do you think it might be the speakers themselves that are the problem?
sorry white angel I'm not sure about that
@@JustinTechTips also do you know why my brother’s aurora r13 it keeps rebooting over and over again when playing roblox via the web browser and even the roblox app?
I’ve been contacting and dealing with many customer supports from dell and even they deal with the BIOS, the problem persist since my brother bought the computer like 3 months ago, and sometimes when that happens there will be no video display at all(no Display port or HDMI input detected/no signal) I’m dying it might be the GPU but I watched a video telling that it might be the RAM memory or even the power supply, I don’t know how the RAM y/or lower supply are related to a screen showing no video display, can you please explain if that’s true o not? Cos for me, to my understanding it’s not. Thank you in advance
Can I replace the gpu while I do this?
I wanna ask Should I buy a laptop over a desktop even when I'm gonna use the laptop mostly connected to a monitor
Just depends on how often you think you will want to use the computer in a different room. It will definitely be faster for less money with a desktop computer. I prefer laptops personally since I'm always moving around the house
@@JustinTechTips thanks a lot for your advice
Off topic but would you think that the 3060 on the XPS 9710 is far behind a 3070 on a Legion 7 for 4k video editing? Thanks!
Hey spinachpies, yes you can see here lenovo.vzew.net/ORaaOn that the 3070 on the Legion 7 has a TDP of 140w vs the 70w on the 3060 on the XPS so performance will be significantly better on that Legion 7
@@JustinTechTips thank you sir. I was hoping that would not be the case as I really want a touchscreen with a decent GPU. Can't get on with the zenbook pro duo's touchpad though 😔
What are you using to ground yourself before opening the computer ? Thanks for the tips I'll do it as soon as I receive my R13
Ya dont really need to ground yourself. Components these days are just not as receptible to shock damage as they were many years ago.
There's probably at least one component on the motherboard that if touched might get damaged with enough static electricity but yeah Sam is right that it's not very likely. I just like to say that just in case. Touching the metal leg on a table or chair, or even a metal part of the case is usually what I do.
I just buy the paste and the tools. And after i open the gpu i saw that alienware fix it. They do the paste exacly like you did it.
I think they fixed the paste issue
Very helpful and enjoyable video 🥰🎉👍.
Thank you Michael! I'm glad you liked it!
Holy thermal paste bro. Way too much on the gpu. Jesus. If you want to repaste your gpu or cpu, please dont immitate this guys paste application.
Think so? What's the worst you think will happen leaning more towards overpasting than underpasting? It definitely did what I wanted it to
What crypto mining video? I don't see it.
I haven't finished editing it yet.
Oooooh thanks for touching up on the mining temps. It would be awesome if you could make a video on setting this baby up to mine and make a bit of profit on the side!!!
Never mind lmfao I see at the end of the video that you got one coming soon!! :D
Yep that one should be coming soon!
Dell should hire you. Nice video
Thank you Om3ga! I wish! I don't think they like that I talk about both the good and the bad about their products
@@JustinTechTips haha true, well tbh, that's what I like, non-biased reviews. You tell both pros and cons of the machine :)
"how to repaste better" aka making it worse that thermal paste is applied worse than the factory did LOL you need to stop making videos cus you have no idea what youre doing and are misleading everyone
It definitely worked and from the comments made a big difference for many other people too so not sure what you think you're talking about. If it was worse, temps would be worse. I prefer to lean towards a little too much paste than too little
Looking forward to the crypto mining video
Coming soon Anthony
Que pena que no se inglés porque me
Encanta tu canal
gracias JARANOR!
Have any advice to upgrade the GPU in my R13 would like to move up to a RTX 3090 or equal are there 3rd party GPU's options or do I need to use the OEM unit with the stock 750 power supply?
Ty
glad you enjoyed it mao! sorry for the late reply!
me: Don't touch me AlienGPU 😁
lol
Make a video for liquid cooling the 3090 inside R13! :)
Do you mean for repasting the CPU or a how to video on replacing the whole AIO liquid cooling unit?
@@JustinTechTips No, I mean figure out how to liquid cool the 3090 and fit the pump inside. Maybe some sort of a compact liquid cooling solution? Not for the processor, for the GPU.
thanks for the giveaway! keep up the great work!
Thank you David! I'll do my best!
Could you please talk about the profitability/hashrate with Dell 13?
Hey Casual that video is coming soon!
@@JustinTechTips Thanks a lot. What's your breakeven at your current profitability?
Just found this video definitely appreciate the guide. I don't have the 3090 but I do have a 3070 and I can say they used around an entire container of whatever thermal gunk they had at their disposal. Since I repasted and used a few thermal pads on my V ram, I'm getting operational temperatures in the low fifties and V ram temperatures are about 5ﾟ behind that.... During stress test I can get the temperature to go up into the 68 to 70ﾟ area... But rarely do I ever actually have my graphics card loaded that hard for 1st person shooter titles.
HEY Justin! I followed the whole video and bought the same things. However mine is still the same temp. I wonder what I did wrong
Are you going to expand off of Alienware to other computers?
Hey Croissant! Yeah I just jump on the opportunity to milk Alienware products with a lot of videos since they usually get so many more views. If you look back in my previous videos I've done a lot with Lenovo, HP, ASUS, ACER, and Gigabyte as well. I have a new Corsair gaming desktop coming in next week that should be pretty cool too
@@JustinTechTips I get it, Alienware looks and is cool so I get it that you are doing a lot of videos abt it, I’m exited and looking forward to future videos!
Where is the crypto mining in gaming rig video? Can’t find it.
Hey Spencer, I haven't finished editing that one yet. It's coming soon!
@@JustinTechTips This video made repasting easy. I'm practically a computer engineer now!
now thats cold, enter em for the next one
👍
Does doing any modifications affect your warranty with the R13 and even replacing the fans as well
Very eye opening video. You rock!
Thank you shoeson333!
WoW😃
🙂
Be cool if you can find psu upgrades, loving the vids
Yeah RAGNAR I was actually about to do a video on that but I chickened out because I couldn't find out if the adapter I got would work correctly with the weird PSU plug that was on the MOBO. Last thing I wanted to do was fry something. I'm sending the 850w back that I was going to try just cause I think I'm not advanced enough with that yet. The plug shapes line up but I've read a lot about that not always meaning the right wires with the right voltage are being matched up.
@@JustinTechTips - Its a shame its such a weird shape like the motherboard. little naughty they do it, asus don't. do you use any oc overclock profiles on yours? also there is a bios update v1.0.8 that most people dont know about if you havnt already :)
Hi JustIN, do you think it would be possible to run days long deepfake trainings (running 24 hours for 3/4 days no stop) with Aurora r13?
Yeah The Spiritual Traveller, it should be able to handle that no problem
@@JustinTechTips Thank you! I’ll probably apply the noctua paste as you did to make gpu even cooler. Do you think that I’ll be able to do that myself simply following your video (I have no experience in opening computers and computer parts)?
Can’t anyone just enjoy there computer without taking it apart and complaining-the pc is fine- it’s not the pc that needs to be changed it’s the owner --
If you want to do some mining it's best to do this for sure. It's actually necessary to keep it from crashing.
@@JustinTechTips na - they wouldn’t make it the way they did and sell it then - have a good day --
My R13 should be here Feb 3rd. Going to follow your instructions and order the kit too. Never repasted anything before. While I'm in there going to do the same for CPU as well probably.
Hey, can you please let me know how it goes? I ordered a R13 as well but won't be getting it until next month. I'm not a big computer tech savvy guy but would be interested in doing this.
@@teesmith501 Well my PC got delayed. It's now expected on the 7th. I'm going to test it out first and see what the temps are like stock. I don't wanna replace the thermal pads though lol.
@@auclearwater Now I'm thinking mine's will be delayed as well. It has shipping date of March 15th, but based on what's been happening with delays, would not be surprised if it gets delayed further. I too will be seeing how my base setup goes first before doing anything.
@@teesmith501 Yeah I would expect a delay. Especially if you ordered a 3090 and/or 12th gen i9. I ordered a 3080 and 12th gen i7. So one step below that and mine was delayed.
@@auclearwater Yeah looks like I'm in it for the long haul. My order is still in the processing stage and not even being built.
Yup dell doing there thing lol 😂
LOL 😂
@@JustinTechTips dell is not a good at pricing stuff my school laptop was like 700 if yu have to pay the insurance
Nice one dude❤️
Thank you Shakibul!
