Overall, I think two fans are good enough for what we aim for. That extra fan isn't that necessary to put on unless you want that extra temperature reduction badly.
And if you want to add the third fan, you will need a Y splitter and 4 screws.

I think you can add another fan in the front of the case for additional intake and possibly a fan to the back for exhaust, and have the top fan bringing fresh air in from the top of the case through the WC. If you wanted, I guess you could even have the WC fans in a push/pull configuration. That Alienware case seems starved for air.
Exactly buddy, it is too starved for the air. haha. But after this little modification, it has been working fine to me. Thank you for the sub BTW! Thank you.
I saw a guy who actually mounted a second intake fan up top of the front where the mechanical HDD would be mounted. So he left the stock one in the top of the case because it is a pain in the ass to remove, and then just upgraded the stock fan in the bottom front and added an extra fan. Huge difference in cooling. I do not understand why they would put the fan down low where the GPU is as the GPU has its own cooling system....
People shitting on these computers while I guess it is warranted to an extant, for some people it is the only way of getting a nice PC and for a few bucks you really can remove all heating issues which is a huge knock on the PC.
@@TheGCDesigns yeah I don’t understand the hate these systems get. My r10 is incredible and I swapped the two fans. Might add the front intake but it’s been fine with just the two fans being swapped.
I unscrewed hot swap filled out 1 of 2 of the SSD trays from bottom added my HDD there and put 4th fan in place of hot swap HDD housing
Idling at 31 Celsius
Great video mate! I have done the exact same modification as you did. Such a shame Dell chose to include pretty average fans on such a high end system.
Yes sir, those fans are too cheap to be in the system.
I just did this as well, everything is working as it should, but I keep getting an error when booting up that the top fan isn’t functioning, but it is, and is even responsive to my custom curves. I’ve checked all plugs, checked and made sure that nothing is hitting the blades as they’re spinning, but I keep getting the error whenever I boot up the system. Thoughts?
I am going to do this fan swap in the next few days as the stock top fan is starting to make a rattle noise!
Had a look inside but everything looks fine so not sure why the fan started to make a sort of resonating rattle - if I put the tower on its side then the noise goes away. I am certain it is the fan making the noise though.
I'll be replacing top and front fan with ML 120 pros. I noticed on some other videos they did not remove the full metal housing, just the radiator and the fan, I may also do it this way because the big metal housing is very fiddly and tricky to put back in, but you managed quite easily!
You should be able to do this too very easy.
@@RyanYu Hi friend. I finally did it today and it took about maybe 30 minutes. I did exactly the same thing and only replaced the existing fans. You're right it is not too hard but your video helped a lot tso thanks. I also used the video of the other youtuber who did the same mod with push/pull - I may do this in a few weeks but for now I think this is enough.
When I first started AWCC I was a bit worried because it said "no alienware components detected" !!! but after a few seconds it worked.
These fans are so much quieter compared to the stock fans. They seem to be doing a much better job. From what I understand 0-20% is low, then 20-40% is medium, and then 40-60% is high so I dont think I will see the fan speed % go above 60%.
Still playing with fan curves but happy with the mod.
@@teeq985 nicely done buddy!
Great video, just making sure, this works on the Aurora R12 as well right?
yeah
Awesome video, great pronunciation, appreciate the credit to original post as well.
Respect.
Thank you!
Hey BigFishGaming, thank you for this video! I wanted to proceed to an upgrade just like you but felt not comfortable with it as I rarely do. However I am definitely going to do it now that I can follow the steps with your video and once I receive my R11 ordered on December 6th / Estimated to be delivered on January 14th (do you have delays on these kind of order ? RTX3080 I9 10900HF 32Gb RAM 1TB SSD + 2TB HDD)
Once last question, do you void Dell's warranty or premium service by replacing fans or disassembling the R11 ? Looking forward to your reply !
Hi, yes those modifications will void Dells' warranty. My PC arrived in about week, so you should be okay. You can also push their customer service to do your order faster. Let me know if there is anything I could help in the future. Make sure to subscribe the channel to support this small TH-camr. Thanks.
@@RyanYu Thank you for the reply, I have already subscribed to your channel :) ! I guess i'll wait some time before doing the upgrade then, as it voids the warranty but I'll do it for sure later ! Going to write to Dell now to push the order ! If there is a specific way / argument to convince the Dell's support, please do let me know !
@@wyphkatteyoutube3437 THX for the support man. Send me an email and I will share something with you.
What is the fan call ? As i try this and it didn't work
I have it in the description.
How do you control fan speeds? For me I can’t get my fans over 45% in the Alienware software
Alienware command center, since the RPM is half compared to the original fans, 45% is the max for the replacement.
@@RyanYu yeah I figured that’s what it was, just wanted to make sure. Thanks for clarifying. After replacing fans and putting in a AIO, cpu temps went from low 80s to high-ish 50s
Any back up suggestions for the fans? The ML120 Pro's are no longer available on Amazon.
Overall, I think two fans are good enough for what we aim for. That extra fan isn't that necessary to put on unless you want that extra temperature reduction badly.
And if you want to add the third fan, you will need a Y splitter and 4 screws.

@@stevie2025 I’m glad I can help. Thx for stopping by.
I have just purchased the R10 and completed this mod with your videos help, I really like your videos and helped me a lot. I have actually done this mod twice. The first time with the fans you used and the 2nd time with Noctua fans. I also took the HDD out and moved it to one of the smaller bays below and added and 80mm fan in its original location since my system seemed to be generating lot of heat. I was wondering if anyone needs these fans since I'm not using them I am looking to get rid of the corsair and keep the Noctuas in place also I have a 64GB kit of RAM that I'm trying to part with. I purchased the kit for Intel accidentally and so had to get a different AMD kit. Ram is overclockable.
Nice, you’ve done much to your r11! How’s the 80mm fans doing?
What’s the rubber wrist band for
Anti static
BigFish where do you connect the third fan to?(top radiator)
You will need to get a Y cable, I have that in the description too.
@@RyanYu thanks champ! Now mounting second intake fan!
bro, I changed the fans, but when I turn on the computer and the bios say that my fan have issues and not recognize it. You experience the same?
Nope, what fans did you use?
@@RyanYu I used the Noctua fans, I guess could be the bios update I did...Now it recognize the non oem fans now and everytime I start the pc this testing come out...sad
Hi friend, the VRM heat sink that came with your CPU water cooler is out of stock every ware. I see you installed it at the end of your video. Can I just add some cooling fins with adhesive thermal tape my self? My R12 was delivered today but it’s air cooled. So I bought a Corsair water cooler and a new Corsair front fan and good thermal paste. I just can’t get the VRM stock passive fin cooler you have.
Actually I didn't upgrade the VRM heat sink.
There is solution of heating. Open the case and use external fan while gaming or mining. The temperature will reduce to 60
Nice!
Good video I like to know is it a 4-pin fan I have an Alienware PC Aurora R5 and I like to get better fans right now I have the stock ones that came with it.
Yes, it is 4 pins.
Thank you for letting me know.
Thanks for this video, going to attempt this in a few days when fans arrive! One question, if I'm not redoing the thermal paste, do I really need to take the AIO system out to swap the fan? It looks like the fan comes right out of the AIO bracket?
Yes, you will have to remove the the AIO, otherwise the space is too tie.
Hi I just followed your tutorial, thank you very much everyhting is working and the PC is finally quiet.
Just one question the fans can not achieving 100 % fan speed is this normal? I have the same as you used in the video.
Cheers!
It will get 85 for mine.
i just wanna let people know to download the update from dell directly before windows 10 updates... it helped with my noctua fan drivers and my tv...
Thx for sharing.
May I just keep the side cover opened at all times so as to lower the temperature?
You can of course buy it will get a lot dust.
Yes that helps. Reduced temps by 3-5 degree celcius
Big fish. About the paste. You said you did an X and a dot. Did you then fill all the empty spaces with paste after?
No just the x and the dot.
This method lets the contact between the cpu and the water cooler squash the paste into the gaps. Another way to do it is to apply the paste and then, using a flat plastic tool, smooth it out over the CPU to ensure maximum coverage and even spread. Then screw it back together.
@@WizardPaul thx for sharing
Correct me if I’m wrong but grounding you anti static wristband to the desktop chaise that’s not grounded unless it’s plugged in is useless? Wouldn’t it have been better to have grounded to something that’s bonded to ground?
My bad, your discharging your body to the chaise....
:)
Awesome video bro, my R12 is arriving in 2 weeks, but I have actually 3 questions:
1. What exactly do you mean by "putting the 3rd fan between the radiator and the bracket?
Fan 1 (bracket), then Fan 2 on top if the bracket and the radiotor right benath the case cover?
2. Can anybody confirm, that Noctua Fans don't fit?
3. The hardware bays on the case bottom: Are they 3.5" or 2.5" bays?
Thanks a million and greetings from Berlin m8. =o)
When you take out the radiator, you will know what I meant. Noctua fans will work, but you may experience error messages. The hard drive bays at 2.5 at the bottom.
Just got my R11 and I think I'm going to do this!!
Nice congrats on your new R11!!!!
Rip new r12 jus came out lol
@@goo3970 it sucks.
@@goo3970 The only thing different in the R12 is the CPU. Everything else is exactly the same, including the cooling. This was just a simple refresh.
@@goo3970 bought r10 ryzen 2 weeks ago. r12.... meh. 11th gen intel chips are not great, and now they give you 32gb single channel ram. i configured the r12 exactly like i ordered my r10, and i end up 500 bucks more expensive. not worth it.
How do you know where to plug in the fan cables? New to PC gaming
plug them into the same ones for the stock fans.
@@stevie2025 you need to buy a Y splitter. So two fans on one port.
What screwdrivers will I need for this job specifically I don’t have any 😆
Get this set man, the best of the best: amzn.to/3ILcLsO
@@RyanYu perfect thanks. I plan to do the 3x fan replacement this weekend. 😄
@@Ghost88o9 Good luck my friend.
@@RyanYu i was able to get 3 fans inside (2 on top and 1 in the front) my temps on the cinebench are 55 degrees at the highest. (r11, 10900 I9 water cooled) im thinking about adding 1 more fan to the front where the hard drive goes. do you think it would be worth it?
@@Ghost88o9 not really, you are already in the good shape man, more fans will be more noise and the difference is not that much.
Even with the liquid cooling you were reaching the 90s?!?! I'll start by replacing the fans and see how that affects the temps in my rig. One week old! Thanks.
Congrats on your R11, and changing the fans does lower the temps.
@@RyanYu alienware designs must be the worst OEM designs
@@tommyking626 agree
@@RyanYu Thanks. Your video was extremely helpful with installs of fans and lowering temps. I realized that my rig came with voltage OC to 1.38V. I lowered it to 1.28V and now my temps are 35C-45C under load! I am not a gamer
@@terrellwright7565 no problem. Thx for supporting.
So I recently tried this with the corsair ML120 pro and it said that the top fan wasn't working I was able to install the ML120 pro in the front fan and it worked. Do you have any solution?
Did you get the Y splitter?
@@RyanYu No since I was only installing 1 fan to the top and 1 fan to the front
@@NotSoSuperAsian the top one is not working?
@@RyanYu the fan seems to work and spins up when I start the pc but when I ran a diagnostic it told me that the top fan wasn't working. But when I put the same type of fan on the front of the pc it worked fine in the diagnostic
@@NotSoSuperAsian Did you plug it in the port that was original the stock fan?
Why do you use these fans? Aren't the 'Be Quie't better, the same for the 'Noctua'?
Maybe they are not compatible?
Do you have any information on this subject?
They should be work too. But this is pretty quiet too. It’s the best on Amazon so I just got them.
Just bought 3 of those fans but in the RGB version, will those work as well? I bought the thermal paste as you recommended in addition to the fans. I ultimately bought this PC to play call of duty warzone with a 3080 but I’ve crashed on multiple occasions I believe because of the heat
I think it will work.
Man I just got my AW, i am glad that i found this video! I am not gonna use the computer for hardcore gaming, mainly for 3d sculpting and video editing, but mostly for 3d sculpting and art, should i be worry?
Not so much dude.
You dude, I need help. Is the top fan the intake or is the lower fan the intake?
The lower front fan is the intake and the top one is the one push air out from the case.
Are those the only upgrades you did to the computer after you purchased it? Also, What kind of frames are you getting on COD: Warzone? if you play that game.
I did a few upgrades, and you can check out my other videos about those upgrade as well as benchmark for games such as COD.
@@RyanYu Bro, you have soo many videos, can you atleast link them?
@@russ4032 any advices of how to.
When you remove the mechanical hard drive and put fans in what fans and brackets do you need to do that can someone send me a link on where to get that stuff would be much appreciated
I have all the links in the description buddy.
@@RyanYu I added liquid cooling and replaced other fan next to that I’m confused so mechanical hard drive removed you can add fans what fans and brackets I bought fans never got brackets to mount the fans
Will 140mm fan work as a pull fan at the top?
Can’t fit.
You should put 2 fans in the front, 2 fans in the top, and 2 slim fans in the side pannel.
Too much, haha, maybe just go for another one..
Thank you for filming this
No problem, thank you for the support!
Can you control the corsair fan through the Alienware command center? (I've installed the noctua redux and I was not able to control them, so I am thinking to try the corsair)
i can control them.
@@RyanYu thanks !!!!
@@rafpt9522 You can control the Corsair. But if you type 100% Fan Speed in the AWCC it only goes up to 61 %. The Relation of settings and speed is diffrent.
I imagine Dell does this on purpose so the computer wears out faster. If the computer doesn't fail you wont need a new one right? They could care less about us losing our data. Thanks for the video
Super excited for my new system to arrive.. your videos are great! Just curious is the stock liquid cooling not adequate for the r11 machines max performance? New to the computer world. Appreciate all the cool videos you post 👍🏻
The liquid cooling is okay, but the fans are cheap. so in order to get the max performance and lower temp and noise, we need to upgrade the fans. Hope I helped, and if I did, please consider to subscribe to support the channel. thx.
Does anyone know if I can fit an 3090 ti in the R12? i have the 3060 ti right now. I believe i would have to upgrade the power supply as well.
You can’t. Dell has their customized GPU size.
I changed the fans on my R10 to the corsair ml120 pros but in alienware command center for the front fan I can not adjust the speed it stays at 27% no matter how much load or high the Temps get. Any advice how to make it work to control fan on front?
Is it on balance? Try to make it performance if it goes up.
@@RyanYu I figured it out once you make a new profile you have to hit home and change it under active lol
Would you need any Y plugs for adding another fan? Or is there extra ports on the board for more fans.
Yes. You will need a Y splitter. I have that in the description and comments.
i tried replacing my fans in my R9 but now when i run Alienware diagnostics program it wont recognize the fans fails fan check failed any idea's why and how to fix
Did you use the same fans that I used ?
@@RyanYu yes have u tried running a Alienware diagnostic since u installed the fans
@@crowdaddy6472 no. It works fine so I don’t need that.
@@RyanYu can you try it please just so i can see if it's just my computer or it's computer not liking the fans in my computer
@@crowdaddy6472 I ran it with no problem.
I have a Aurora R9 and I used the same fans but it would not pass the hardware check software during the boot phase nor did the fans spin properly so my question is how did you by pass the hardware check software at the boot phase?
I didn't do anything like that, no error pops up. just went through. pretty much like plug-in&play.
Ppl choose Alienware just for time-saving but have to do this.I spent nearly $4000 CAD for R10 5950x and got a semi-finished product....

@BigFishGaming, Great video thanks, I am considering into buying one of these and before I do I have a question for you. I have been doing some digging into what kind of problems that people can run into and a lot people been having issues with power and automatic shutdown of the computer while booting or playing games, Have you ever had any issues on this matter other than "Temps"?
Nope, I don't have any other problems than the temps and noise.

Custom built.
Hi, I'm wondering if we can replace the fans with a different brands/models other than the Corsair ML 120 Pro. I'm looking at fan comparison and I noticed that the Noctua NF-A12x25 actually performs better and quieter than Corsair ML 120 Pro, but I'm worried that it will not be supported by my Aurora R11.
From my understanding, it should be fine to use other fans as long as it is 120mm in size.
Other fans even though 120mm will throw up error codes thats why everyone uses the Corsair Pro, and make sure they are the "pro".

@@OdyBeRidin OMG! nice.
You cannot fit a standard 120mm fan on top of the R12. I am looking into a low profile option now.
Yes, you can. it's the same bracket dude.
@@RyanYu The top case will not fit. (They changed something inside that top panel or maybe due to the bracket being further back, but you cannot put the top on.)
I tried it the other day. It would not clear the fan, they moved the bracket back slightly too, I had to remove the screw clips on the back of the fan just to get it to sit. But yes, the bracket is the same. I would be happy to send you some pics. I am looking for ideas.
@@DanMurray6696 I will check on that when I do the tear down video.
@@DanMurray6696 did you install the fan between the bracket and the radiator? It sounds like you install it outside the bracket which is wrong.
Will my aurora r11 that I ordered have overheating? And can I just put a normal fan (the ones you sleep with) to reduce it, or I really have to change the dans inside the pc?
If you want to have the lowest temps, yes you will have to replace the fans inside.

When you do the thermal test ...I think it is prudent to ask intel or the CPU manufacturer
if a CPU running at or near the maximum will ...

2) Degrade life expectancy

@@RyanYu is planning to get everything used on the video on an Aurora r9. Are the fans on Aurora r9 120mm?
@@squishy7287 yes sir, but buy one first to test it in the front fan, make sure you don't get error message then go for the others.
good video!
Thank you. Make sure to subscribe for more videos.
So, one of the fans you bought for the top was defective, when do you get a replacement?
I got the replacement, but I don't think I need that anymore since two fans upgraded is already good enough for the temps reduction. Adding that third fan will cause more noise level.
@@RyanYu Oh, okay. Whats the bracelet called, for grounding yourself?
@@DavidGonzalez-is8ns It's Anti-Static Wrist Strap. Hope I helped. dude.
@@RyanYu thank you, so much bro.
@@DavidGonzalez-is8ns Anytime, make sure to check out my other helpful videos.
So just two fans? rather then three?
In my opinion just two which is good enough.
great video
Thx bro.
this is just make me angry that the top fan does not have easier access- could be done from the side, for example. wtf, dell
haha
What is the bracelet called?
Never mind, found it in description, lol.
:)
There you go.
@@RyanYu first video I’ve seen in regards to the Aurora that someone took these precautions.
My machine keeps making this constant sound -Im not sure what it is. I replaced the RAM from 8gb to 8gbx4 at 3200 but since then im experiencing this sound (sounds like fast moving mini fan but its not the dell fan - im confused)... i did try to see if anything is stuck in the fan but there isnt. Any help? I didnt do anything related to BIOS or anything like that yet
I haven't noticed any thing like that after I changed mine. Can you tell if that is the sound from the front fan or the top fan? or is it the GPU?
@@RyanYu its from the top... when i press my hand on the top of the hardware the sound goes. Its weird.
@@Ash-mf9rz Could be the top fan?
@@RyanYu lol no idea. I'm a newbie to hardware modifications. So I'm gonna have a look and see soon
@@Ash-mf9rz me too man. All the things that I have done to this PC were new to me.
Got another question: After installing the fans do you need to do anything else in PC settings? Or can you just remove old fans, install new fans then power on and go?
no settings needs to be adjusted.
@BigFish Do you know if there is a way to remove the front panel to modify it? Also, mount a 2nd intake fan up front.
I think you can take out the hard drive bay to make enough room to get another intake fan.
@@RyanYu Yeah, I don't understand why Dell mounted the HDD there. It has two drive bays at the bottom. Plus they put 90 degree angles on the front panel. Reducing air intake.
@@PokèMyBalls Try it, if it works let me know. haha.
@@RyanYu I was going to cut out the metal behind the fan and open up some of the front panel more. I just have to get it off first to see what I can do.
@@PokèMyBalls Keep me posted dude!
When you pay over $2k for a pc and have to find way to cool it down lol
IKR.... haha
Its the worst part of the entire r11. That and the noneupdateable mommy board
Yeah but I just bought one with a 3080 in it for less than a 3080 is on ebay..
When u spend over 2000 for a DIY or pre built machine and still have to find a way to cool it.........what's the difference.
yeah and sadly even with their liquid cooling option it’s still loud. I love mine but man does the fan get annoying with bigger titles or badly optimized games like pathological 2
Can barely hear you because my fans are too loud. lol Thanks for the video. :)
haha, that's awesome. Thank you for the support.
This is awesome. I just thermal pasted my 3080 and lowered my temps of VRAM 10° cooler.
I'm going to upgrade the fans for sure
Nice.
This might turn out to be helpful if I ever work up the nerve to try it. R11 arriving next month with Dell's proprietary 3080 noisemaker/heater. Nice work.
Congrats on your new PC dude. you will enjoy it, if the noise isn't an issue.
@Bobby Hulse nope, you will have to.
@Bobby Hulse there is some extra power cable.
The cooling upgrade was due to swapping the thermal paste FYI. Those original fans are 146 cfm and the Corsair ones are maybe 70 cfm. That's what happens when its 4k vs 2k rpms.
It’s not only about CFM.
In such a restrictive case pressure performance may be more important than CFM... Also why would Dell make a top of the line PC a jet engine?! 4000 rpm is too crazy for so many thousands of dollars, they could have put Noctua A12x25 at that price point and still make mountains of profit.
I don't want to mess with the cpu cooler, I might just do the front fan it looks easier.
that will also help with your noise too.
@@RyanYu I feel like the top fan is what causes too much noise
@@josemadriz5716 yes. Ofc.
I suggest using Kryonaut paste, you will see a few more degrees drop off the average temps during heavy load tasks. Also, you mentioned the Dell fan is cheap, its actually a good fan that can move A LOT of air, but at the cost of lots of noise. This way Dells solution to overheating issues. The corsair fans can move even more air at lower rpm, giving you a lot more cooling. The push and pull configuration is a very good upgrade because of how short the loop is in that AIO. It ensures more radiator vanes are being cooled.
Yeah. I agree. But I prefer the lower noise dude. It is just too loud with those stock fans.
@@RyanYu oh I agree absolutely, this was the first thing I did with mine lol.
@@ndk2k4 yes sir. Consider to subscribe the channel to support me man.
Follow this and you will be fine:
1. Select Water Cooling during configuration
2. Move the HDD from the tray on the front side to the tray at the bottom. Install an additional case fan where the HDD was.
3. Apply thermal paste on the dissipation plate above the VRAM of graphic card (check TH-cam video on how to do that)
Thank you for sharing kk.
I replaced all the fans removed the hard drive added another fan where the had was no differance same temps left the side cover off helped a little . Same fans used in this video
@@LARRYSORETH so sad. Seems like removing the side panel is the better idea then.
@@RyanYu have you repaste your rtx3070?
@@kimsthetic05 nope.
Nice work! You really have to pay attention to detail with this. My R11 will come in 2 weeks. I'd like to do this mod. THank You
No problem, how many fans are you planning to upgrade dude? Also, please consider to subscribe the channel if I helped.
@@RyanYu i just got R12 now, and doing same mods. crazy how hot this machine gets.. im going to do the same mod for the RTX3080 as well, it gets way to hot.
@@scarfacewop yea this thing is but hot. Let me how it goes after your mod.
oh wow! awesome difference in noise!!! I´m affraid I need some corsair fans now! haha :D Thanks for your video
No problem. Let me know how yours is after upgrade
Great video!
I just received my R11 with the 3080 and it's quite noisy. Sadly the only one in stock was Air Cooling - not liquid.
The temp is the CPU/GPU is around 98c when playing RDR2, it seems really high.
I read on Dell Community that replacing the liquid cooling for a Corsair ML120 Pro instead. What do you think?
I just ordered those fans - thanks to your video.
Replacing those fans and reapply the paste will surely help with the noise and temps.

Ty for the video it was very informative I can’t wait for my rig to arrive
I settled on the r11 32gb dual ch.hyperx 3080 10 gb with an i9 10 core for my son I hope to upgrade the fans but after reading your advice I’ll purchase them but install after ty again very good channel

Is there any way to cool down the PC without having to open it up and disassemble it completely ?? 😩 bad experience with opening last PC I had recently.
Not using it. Haha.
Or don’t play games in ultra
@@RyanYu 🤣🤣 Damn I’m shit outta luck huh. I was thinking of just opening the side panel and also putting extra fans near by facing the PC so it’s blowing air into it 🤷🏻♂️ but not inside of it.
U think that would do anything brotha ??
@@kingineazzy leave the panel open is okay too, but it will build up dust pretty fast.
@@RyanYu Damn ok I’ll have to figure something out, thanks 👌🏽💯
Alienware should be ashamed of themselves, I just bought this today and I shouldn't have to do this after paying 3000 dollars. GPU is the only reason I bought this system otherwise I wouldn't go near this cheap build.
:)
Same I got a r12 an I suck but I came with a 3080 for 1.5 k
I think there's something wrong with your stock fan or you used quiet fan profile. 93 is crazy for Cinebench. My Ryzen 9 5800X doesn't go above 70 in Cinebench with performance profile for the fans. That top fan has over 150cfm whereas the Corsear has only around 60cfm. Quiet is not always good. Some may be happy with throttling. I'm not 😉
93 is okay~
I removed 3.5" hdd metal base and added a fan, I used a Y splitter connected to the front fan, and the new fan started to spinning, but once OS is loaded, new fan stopped, what I found is that Y splitter in one of the terminals has only three pins instead of four, so I connected the new fan to "CPU FAN" connector and fan started to work with a lot of noise
Fortunately I had a noctua fan and used the cable labeled as "low noise", now the fan is quietly spinning, I did not tried to upgrade fans, only added a new fan, not sure if temperature is better, processor is between 47°C - 50°C and GPU GTX 1060 is around 54°C
Nice
I have replace the stock front fan with noctua fan.But everytime windows restart will run Pre-Boot System performance check first and say the fan failed to respond correctly. The new front fan is actually working. anyway to solve this issue? thanks
Nope, we can’t by pass the bios check.
you do realize that when you unplug a computer that it is no longer grounded, right? So grounding yourself to the "grounded case" while it is NOT connected to the ground then you are NOT grounded.....................
Do you have any recommendations for fans besides the Corsair ML120 pro? I’m unable to find any retailers that sell these nowadays and I’m hesitant to try other fans as they might trigger a bios error.
These are the only ones I tested and worked.
If your paying that much for a PC you shouldn't have to be doing mods. The simple fact is Alienware is complete shit and has zero clue how to make a case with good airflow.
I totally agree with you man! I’m building my PC for the future
Im guessing Alienware don’t know how to build pc’s?
They just try to cut down the cost I think.
this did not work for the 3090....... core temps are thru the roof so i guess it's not making enough contact with the pads in place
The space is too small in the case.
