  • I put an Nvidia RTX 3070 (Yeah I could actually buy one) in an Alienware Aurora r11 pre-built gaming PC. Surprisingly it didn't go as badly as you would expect.

      @@markfriesen1435 I will give you a (maybe not 100% exact) explanation. So the gt series was meant for games, but since most of them were released in 2009-2012 or so, they aren't keeping up well nowdays, even though they were good for their times. You can find them today in some older laptops/PCs but they are not worth buying anymore if you want to game. The GTX(maxwell/pascal arhitecture) lineup , is also meant for gaming, they also do well in video editing. These cards are still good today(except de GTX 1050 2gb, and the 1060 3gb, because they have vram limitations). If you want to play recent games the gtx 1070 and 1080 are gonna hold up well. The new turing gtx cards(1650,1660 are pretty good 1080p gaming cards too). The RTX(turing arhitecture) lineup ,along with the 20 and 30 series are really good for gaming and streaming because they have onboard encoders(the gtx ones also have them, but they are slightly weaker). The rtx lineup does really well in video editing too. The titan cards (gtx titan, rtx titan) were just as strong in gaming as the best card from each lineup(rtx 2080ti-rtx titan) because the only difference between them was that the titan had a lot of vram and a few more cores. So, the titan cards were specially made for heavy video editing and some 3d modeling (all sorts of content creation). The Quadro(Pascal/Turing arhitecture) lineup was meant for extremely heavy modelling, rendering, editing, and all other sorts of application that need a lot of Vram. These are more dedicated to those programs than the titan cards, the Quadros being the best for editing. The gtx/rtx for gaming/streaming. The titans for a mix between gaming/editing. The gts for very light gaming or web browsing. For VR the gtx and rtx cards will do their job really well.

Also you need some Noctua fan splitters for the radiator in a sandwich format. Think I will wait for the smaller formed cards to hit the market. Really dont want to loose the front fan, As you know the case is pretty but not moving a ton of air..

    This is close to what I did with a 3070 in my R7. I7 8700, previously replaced stock CPU fan with Corsair AIO. Front HD replaced with a Noctua NF-p12, under load CPU/GPU ~75 C, idle ~45 C. other add ones m.2 Samsung 970 pro, added 32 Gb different branded on top of the existing 16, PSU swapped for a Corsair 850w. And stacked like 4 ssd various older drives for a 1Tb of pooled storage and 7200 2tb disk storage. Not pretty to look at, odd memory config, but runs stable. Lots to to criticize there, starting with why not build from scratch lol

    I installed EVGA 3080 in the same case without the front fan. It runs Firestrike and Time Spy stress tests over and over again. Max GPU temp was 85C and passed the test every time. The power supply design is stupid. Had to remove the triangular brace to put the PSU back in place...

    I think the Alienware aurora cases have to be one of the worst ones when it comes to air flow and it’s so tiny inside..you are limited to the size of your gpu and you can’t add a 3 fan liquid cooler..I own one of these but I’m in the process of building a new system

  • @johnhoka332

    just did similar things. After removing the OEM front fan, I replaced it with a NOCTUA 120mmx15mm slim fan, it actually fits in with my 3 fan 3070 and works great (still plenty of space between the card tail and the fan).

    Air-cooling the CPU on the Ryzen AW machines is a joke. I got the 3900 (non-x) back in April 2020 and the configurator page made me think it would come with the AIO, but no...and the temps immediately spiked at 97c. I put a Corsair H60 in and now it runs in the 36c range at idle with all cores at 4000. (They changed the configurator page 2 weeks later to show that it was air-cooled with my options). Anyway, good to know that even the 3070 won't fit without mods. Thanks for putting this up!

  • @PretentiousCat
    @PretentiousCat Před 3 lety

    You should do a video about upgrading the CPU cooling on this to a corsair H60 (and maybe adding another ML120 Pro to that rad, connecting it to the mobo with a PWM y splitter). A LOT of people on r/buildapcsales just bought a ryzen package that doesn't have air cooling and I almost guarantee they'll be looking for a guide/before and after of adding that AIO, which is pretty much the only one that fits in a r10/r11. Great Video!

Still runs hot sometimes loading up DCS VR. I want to know if a VRM heat sink Part number VRM Heatsink Voltage Regulator Thermal Module Pad N1C1D ON1C1D for Dell Alienware Aurora R11 R12 Desktop would help with heat dissipation, or is it better to use VRM with Corsair AIO water cooled Heat sink. Please advise. Thanks so much

I have the 750 or 850w power supply and liquid cooled intel cpu, basically maxed out at the time. Using the lower slot and removing the lower ssd brackets, plus the stock aurora vented side cover seems to be giving plenty of air flow to the gpu. No problems so far (knocking on wood).
