Nice job! Just bought a r9 for 60 dollars this weekend. spent all day Saturday working on it. I did exactly what you did here. Just to put my 2 cents in: I also removed all the unused cables from the (modular) power supply. I don't see how they can ever be used in such a small space anyway. They only restrict airflow. Just set them aside, put them in a zip lock bag labeled Alienware. Anyway, keep up the good work and thanks!

You can't really go wrong if you're only paying $60 for one of these units, and can definitely accept and look past some of the design compromises when it's that cheap! I don't recall in my unit if the power supply was actually modular, but if it is, then it would certainly help to clean it up a bit to pull unused cables out!

Yes, Pump fan is a fan connection on the motherboard, which was utilized for the radiator fan for the CPU cooler. So I utilized this connection with the y splitter as I was now using two fans for the same CPU cooler function. If you're getting a failure, you could check that the fan cable connection is solid, or if you followed my video, that the y splitter connections are also solid.

Thanks for the video, but I got an issue just like many other reviewers showing fan not detected or failure message from the Supportassist screen. And basiclly the fan is not working or cannot be controlled ny the AWCC. Can you please check and help us solving this issue? Thanks

Hi Jimmy, I would suggest checking all the connections again and ensure that they are properly connected to a y-connector and then to the correct fan headers on the motherboard. Which fans did you use? As per some of my other comments, some may not be able to be recognized if they have a minimum speed that differs enough from the stock Dell fans. If you can get them at least spinning up, I would suggest disabling AWCC and using another piece of software to control the fans, as per a previous post I had made. Hopefully you can get them working.

My R10 setup consists of a 3700x air-cooled processor. The standard configuration includes two case fans (located at the front and the top) and one CPU fan with no VRM heatsink. I initially experienced issues with high temperatures and thunderous fans. The idle temperature lingered around 60 degrees Celsius, skyrocketing to 99 degrees under full load. Deciding to switch the fans, I installed an ASUS 120mm AIO (with a single 120mm fan at 2000 RPM) and two Scythe 120mm case fans (running between 800-1200 RPM). These changes significantly improved the cooling efficiency. Now, the idle temperature hovers between 40-45 degrees Celsius. Even when I run a large project that engages all CPU cores at total capacity for an hour, the temperature remains steady at around 75-80 degrees Celsius, occasionally exceeding 80 degrees for brief moments. Most importantly, the overall system noise has been dramatically reduced! I've achieved this in a room without air conditioning or any particular cable management expertise. Yet, the temperature dropped by about 20 degrees. You could further optimize the cooling if you're more skilled in this area.

Hi Tony. Upgrading is totally up to you, and would depend on if you're not getting the performance you want out of the card. Be aware though that newer cards may not fit in the case, so be sure to do some research on lengths and compare to your current card. Newer cards with 3 fans will almost certainly not fit, as I just experienced this in upgrading this Ryzen R10 for a friend. We are putting an MSI Ventus 2X (2 fans) RTX 3060 12GB into the R10 this week, which should be a great upgrade. Also, check what power supply you have currently, as the newer cards may require a PSU upgrade, which could be a challenge as well. If your stock PSU is 750W or 1000W you should be just fine.

I installed chromax fans, and i noticed that they never go up to 100% in the alienware app, even with a modified profile that can make them go to 100. I need to resolve this, so any fixes would be appreciated.

I installed like you did but the one on very top of sandwiched fan doesn’t spin after the BIOS test. It functions fine as every time when I reboot the computer, it spins. But it doesn’t spin when windows is started. Also, do you know how to turn off the error message when you reboot the computer? Or do you just have to skip the fan test manually each time? Thanks. Update: I was wrong. The top fan doesn't work at all until it hits 70degrees celcius. I thought it was only the top of sandwiched fan, but both of the top fans didn't work, making my CPU always as hot as 70degrees in idle state. Any idea why?

I would look into the software side in this case if the fan does run but only at high temps. I'd doublecheck which fan connections as well on the motherboard you connected it to, and then how that is being controlled in the software. If you're using Alienware Command Center, I would look at disabling it and getting an alternative software to manage the fans. I found that this software gives the appearance of being able to set fan curves, but it never worked properly for me, and even left the fans running full out at one point and I was unable to turn them down. If you must use ACC for managing your lights, I'd set those lights and then go into the Windows Services and set ACC to only run manually. This will remove it from managing your fans, and the colours you set should still work in the background. You can then download an Alienware specific hardware monitor software that actually works to manage custom fan curves. sourceforge.net/projects/openhardwaremonitor/ This software was tweaked to work with Alienware and should show all fans connected and allow you to set the fan curves. This worked great for me after the fan replacements. A great video on KZread on this process is below: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZHyTl9BvdLDJhZs.html

​@@clickssticksgaming Hello, I appreciate your response. I have checked the link you provided, and it seems to be for the Open Monitor designed specifically for the Alienware R10 edition, am I correct? I own the R9 version, and I'm uncertain if that's the cause of the issue, but when I run the application, it gives me an error and forcefully closes. While the motherboard and components are quite similar to yours, I have an Intel CPU. On a positive note, I have identified the problem, and it appears to be related to the Y-splitter. When I disconnect the Y-splitter and connect one of the fans directly to the connector, it functions perfectly, spins beautifully, and is detected by the AWCC sensor. Everything works flawlessly in this configuration. However, as soon as I connect the Y-splitter, it triggers all the problems. I suspect that either the BIOS or AWCC fails to recognize the dual fan module, though I'm not entirely certain why. It's worth mentioning that even though only half of the fans operate until the temperature reaches 70 degrees, the CPU temperature rarely exceeds 80 degrees, which provides some relief. Nevertheless, I would prefer my fans to spin consistently even during idle periods. As of now, I haven't discovered a definitive solution. I am reluctant to revert to the stock fan, especially considering the effort I put into installing the additional fans. I sincerely appreciate all the assistance you have provided, and if you come across any potential solutions or suggestions, please share them with me. Rest assured, I will also update you if I find a solution on my own. Thank you and have a great day!

Unfortunately that is one of the drawbacks to using these pre-built Alienware systems, as the I/O shields are built into the case.

I have successfully swapped an Alienware motherboard into a new case, and just ended up with some small gaps in the case, given the lack of I/O shield, which was left behind in the old Alienware case.

Yes, you could change the case to one that would have better cooling and more space inside (and likely would come with enough fans to keep it cool) but the issue you will run into is that Alienware motherboards have proprietary power connections, where the LED power connector plugs in. They do not have the typical power connections that would be required to plug in a new case's power button, reset button, power LED, etc. I recently went through this with an Alienware Aurora R6 and did re-case it, but I cut out the power switch from the case and reconnected it to the motherboard in the new case, as the case connections wouldn't connect to the motherboard properly. It works just fine and has much better cooling than the R6 case, but it now has the Alienware head power button sitting externally on the case in order to turn it on and off. The cost of the fans in this modification to the Alienware case would be nearly identical to the cost of a new case (if not cheaper), and still keeps the Alienware case intact.

You are right though in that you would really only be able to take the RAM, processor and graphics card to a new build, as the Windows OS is tied to the Alienware motherboard, which would also make it much harder to move the motherboard to a new case. It comes down to cost really. This particular R10 has really improved in temperature and noise substantially with the cooling modifications made, and that was for under $200Cdn.

Given my tower cooked my 3080 and I'm out of warranty, I'm in a similar position of curiosity now that I'm looking around to fix things back up and don't have an area in the house I'd consider an optimum work space for the harder part of the process. 3 dogs that really shed and a messy family can certainly bring its challenges. Given the mention of temps from the occasional 90 prior to low/mid-70s after, it'd be my hope that the 2 front fans would drop things to the high 70s or low 80s. And while the ideal air flow in and out should be equal, more air going in with the 2 fans with the 1 out sounds preferred over the other way around in case of imbalance since nature will still do its thing and vent through what holes are available. So while those temps might not be ideal, avoiding the forced shutdowns and crashes should at least be a plus. And just because we may not want to do the radiator part now doesn't mean we can't later, or perhaps even find someone who can. Would've been interesting to have just a front fan test, but obviously too late. Regardless, I see no downside to renovating the front.

@clickssticksgaming

It would depend if you're looking at it from a temperature perspective or noise level perspective, or both. The stock fans are very loud. Changing out the front fan for a quieter fan with good flow and adding an upper front fan with good flow should help with temperature of the CPU and GPU (to an extent). It may help less with the overall noise level, as the top radiator fan will still be quite loud, but depending on where your computer is located, it may be less of an issue for you. As per the reply below, you can always change out the radiator fan at a later time as well.

In my case, I was looking at the maximum impact in one shot by replacing the current fans and adding two additional fans.

I just feel bad for others like myself who picked these models up during covid times due to the GPU scalper spike only to get burned on the bad case design and cooling. It'd be great if Dell was more forgiving on repairs or replacements, but once you're out of their 1 year warranty plan, you may as well not exist. And while I've gotten a new tower from someplace else since, I can't in good faith sell off the Aurora to someone else until I mitigate Dell's shortcomings some because I feel like any buyer who knows what's up would avoid the tower, themselves.

Dell Support Assist boots up right away and begins a top fan test. Then it fails, fans will not run after Window boots up.

Steven, sorry to hear that you're having issues after the upgrade. Have to tried disabling Dell Support Assist and seeing if you get any different results? You may want to double check connections as well to ensure that there aren't any issues there. Lastly, did you end up installing the same Noctua fans?

@@clickssticksgaming yes I have the same exact fans as the video. All connections are good. I also tried each fan independently too. How do you disable Dell Support Assist? Google no help. BIOS version 2.19.0045 American Meagtrends.

Depending on the age of the computer, Dell Support Assist may be adding no value to you (questionable value in the first place), as you can download firmware updates and such yourself using your service tag through Dell's website. You could check in the Windows processes (Cntrl Alt Del) to see if you can clearly spot the program running, and close it. Alternately, you could go into the services (Windows Services), find the support assist file and tell it to disable, so it won't start at start-up. That could prove out whether it's a software issue with support assist itself. Hope this helps!
