21:35 ; lose the cage, attach an 80mm or two 40mm to the front and use non-flammable tape (or a custom plexi/metal plate) to seal off the rest of the holes. The extra holes reduce the amount of thrust your pull fans can create. I also oriented the fan all the way towards the motherboard side so that the air isn't being pushed onto the bulky PSU mount, but pushing all the way to the back of the case. Great vid!!

I did the same with a 120mm fan and double sided tape

I got the ryzen 5800/3070 build for about 1600. Love it so far.

i cut a nice circle out of the mounting cage of the front fan with a wire cutter. that will give it 100% obstruction free airflow. if you wanted to get creative, just snip out sections. if you are worried that wires might get in the fan. i ziptied all the wires so i dont have that issue. 22:00

That R10 case just looks hot! I have thought about getting one to just take everything out and put it in a new case.

Just bought one of these for $1249 on Best Buy, says that the computer is $600 off and it's also the Dark Moon Model which is great. The system comes with these parts. AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800 (8-Core, 36MB Total Cache, Max Boost Clock of 4.6GHz) Processor AMD® Radeon™ RX 6800 XT 16GB GDDR6 Graphics 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD (Boot) + 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s (Storage) 16GB Single Channel DDR4 XMP at 3400MHz Memory High-Performance CPU Liquid Cooling and 1000W Power Supply. Glad to see that I got some of the better features in my build, but definitely gonna replace the fans with the quieter ones you mentioned in this video and add another 16 GB of the same RAM, even tho it's like $195 from Dells Official Website. This was a great video and I like how you went into detail and explained everything.

I love these videos about upgrading prebuilts. :)

For others that try this, I was able to get the radiator out of the top without removing the CPU cooler, heatsinks, or memory sticks. I just wiggled it out of the top - being very careful of the tubes - then I unscrewed the fan and installed two Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM fans in push/pull. The nice thing is that these fans are much thinner than the stock fan, so both of them take up just a little more space than the stock fan. The top fan is now running at 35% 60C and the front fan at 27% 60C. The only issue is right now my front fan stays at 27% (according to Command Center), but the top fans are varying their speed from 35-45%.

Hello. You didn't need to take the top panel off. The area your AIO and fans go in is actually a removeable bracket. If you look at your farthest left ram stick (to the right of the CPU) and then look directly forward you'll see a single screw. Remove that screw and the entire cage will slide out. You'll have to remove the CPU power cable for clearance and un-route that cable from the cable management guides (there are two, one plastic, one metal) and out of the way. The 2nd screw for the cage is from the original fan bracket you unscrewed which connects to the left side of the cage.

Just happened that i rebuild my Alienware R10 Aurora Ryzen edtion a few months ago. the tower came with the water cooling system, upgraded to a ryzen 7 5800X cpu and a RTX 3070 "DELL" GPU. with the stock fans in there, they were pretty loud when it came to play games at full resolution. did a lot of research and decided to put in 4 Noctua Fans in there and just like you did, i did the push pull set up on the radiator and 2 other fans at the front case. i bought the tower used and i know it is over kill, but it came with a 1000 Watt Power supply. also put in a new thermal paste on the new cpu and new thermal pads for the voltage regulators. what use to run at 52deg C on idle, is now down to 28-29 deg C on idle. i haven't seen that machine running any hotter than 75 deg C. i also did the same process on putting a thermal pads and paste on the GPU and the temperature dropped dramatically from 90 to 75 Deg C. So it is definitely worth doing all that work. Great video and keep on the good work. =)

I was shopping a new 3060 GPU and I ended up getting a r10 during the GPU price craze. It has the Ryzen 5 5600x, 3060ti, and was already liquid cooled out of the box. I bumped the RAM to 32gb, and have not had any issues. I may eventually add or replace a fan

Sorry bit of a noob when it comes to building/rebuilding PCs. After replacing the fans, do you need to do anything else? Like the bios, or system settings, etc?

I just got the R10 with a 5600x and 3080 today on Dell for $1769. I do heavy rendering to a large format printer. Jobs take minutes each to render so no need for a nice GPU, just beefy CPU. Selling the 3080 on eBay will make the computer minus the GPU, free. Mine has the stock air cooler and I will be doing this AIO cooler upgrade you recommend here in the video and the heatsinks. Thank you!

Definitely awesome video Ivan, thank you for your time and efforts to show it here so everyone can get great benefit of it!! Just got a couple of questions regarding the fans and RAMs upgrade: 1. Would you mind to let me know what brand & model of the fan are you using to replace the HDD slot? I’ve read the comments that you’ve put the 80mm stock CPU fan in it, but 92mm will work too. So what is the brand & model your fan in the HDD slot? 2. Regarding all the fans connection, although I’ve connected all them but I’m a bit unsure. First of all, like in your video I replaced front, top and AIO stock fans with 3 Corsair ML120 Pro fans. Then I used 2 Y-splitters from Noctua, one connects top fan & AIO fan then plugging into “Top Fan” on motherboard, another one connects front fan & added HDD slot fan then plugging into “Front Fan” on motherboard. For the short cable comes from AIO pump, it connects to “Pump Fan” on motherboard. I’ve also notice this leaves “CPU Fan” port on motherboard vacant. Would you please confirm this is the correct set-up? Thank you so much.

I personally couldn't have asked for more. the fans stay around 2,800 to 3000 RPM. it doesn't really bother me you can hear it in the background but I don't think it's worth replacing. Someday after my warranty is up... I'm going to take all the parts out of this one and build the case that I like. I don't have anything against this case but I would love to see my components.

Yes, I use Noctua fans for all three. However, using the Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM as the top AIO fans will cause a bios error. They work wonderfully and are super quiet. But you'll get an error everytime you restart the computer which is super annoying.

@@RichardMoreno24 I can change settings in AWCC to make them spin up. And they also spin up as needed while playing intensive games/vr. Is that helpful what you're asking? The front fan has no issues at boot. But now that I have 2 fans on top (push/pull) with Noctua splitter, they "fail" the bios test at boot. It may be the whole splitter thing that causing the error. Maybe a single fan would pass bios test? Performance-wise they seem to work as expected though.

i clipped all of the metal shrowd that covered each fan, including the cover and psu. that helped with noise and maybe some with airflow. i put the bottom intake fan to the top. ill get one for the bottom even though i saw a huge difference in temps just doing that. im not sure about the push pull for the cpu aio but ill do that anyways. its like 15 bucks for the fans so thats not a huge expense.
