Putting an RTX 3070 in an Alienware Pre-Built: A Terrible idea?
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 08. 2024
- 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.

FINALLY a person that doesn't run a game for 5 minutes and says "oh yea the temperatures are great on this card"
Haha!! Yeah that's not ideal. 😅
I have not seen a single person do that, can You link someone doing that? I dont believe you.

@RayRexDex Its a joke
tough
@RayRexDex people who unironically say boomer are usually boomer
It's funny how you take off the fancy Alienware side panel and suddendly you're looking inside of an Optiplex.
Lmao so true, like the colour scheme of the motherboard just eugh
They don't have a transparent side panel so I wouldn't mind it that much as long as thermals are in control.
True
Yeah it looks so gross and I daily drive an optiplex
that cooler hurts me

Here's hoping AMD's new GPUs won't be supply constrained just like Nvidia.
Well I see you're at 3 likes so I'm early af after reading your comment
It will be... and sure tomorrow's cpu will be

Damn Im early Justin
Yeah i hope AMD takes advantage of Nvidia mistake and become of the king of GPUs.
These are nice videos. Next you should do a video where you build a PC with a 3070, and get a Prebuilt for the same price, and compare them.
That's a really good idea. I love comparison videos.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff Thank you Dawid!
@@DawidDoesTechStuff can you do a comparison for us olds that explains what the different series cards is good for? I know you’re about games, but which are better for editing, for CAD, for VR, etc.. Your knowledge seems copious and I live for the metaphors
@@markfriesen1435 dang no response
@@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.
Me *sees terrible idea in the title of one of Dawids vids*
Also me: oh no he is gonna SLi two GT710s and watercool them whilst also overclocking them until the water boils.
Jk, love your vids, keep it up.
Hahaha!! That sounds like a pretty good idea. 😋
@Farglior Zero Where there's a will (or a Dawid in this case), there's a way ;P
@Farglior Zero you can SLI them through PCIE, like a RX Crossfire setup

1:54 the RTX 2060 FE had the same design, power connectors moved to the end via wires.
Lol, when the stock stabilizes... ha ha. Got recommended this today.
Memory Express is the best. It took like 4 weeks to come but I ordered my 3080 on launch and they were great about calling the day it came in. Great video always entertaining.

@@kalpa_sama Thanks. 😁
I think the Hulk getting his salad tossed happened in different flick. I think there's a "Hub" for that.
I put a lower profile Noctua fan in in order for my 3080 to fit. It was in an older Aurora R7 which looks like it has a virtually identical intake fan set-up and clearance as this one.
what model cause im having the same problem on my r12.. tried a 12mm fan.. it fits but the pressure on the back of the fan wont let the fan rotate.
If you actually wanted the 3070 in the Alienware case, you could probably fit a slim 15mm fan in the front. It won't move as much air, but it would definitely be better than nothing.
That’s exactly what I did, placed a 15mm fan and a new RTX 3080 12GB XC3 ultra and it fits ad works like a champ. No errors, no high temps, just works. My case is an R12 in black.
Thank you for doing this video on the Alienware pc! Please do more of this kind of Alienware videos dawid!
i actually love the alienware case. I have a pc already but if i cant find a 3070 soon i might just go for a dual pc with the alien 3070 prebuilt
I just got one... it’s pretty insane bro. It’s an R10 with a 3070, 32GB ram.. I haven’t had any overheating issues yet. I highly suggest it. Get water cooling also it helps
You can technically actually do that go on Dells website and you can fit some good graphics cards on there.
Very late but I got a 3080 16 gb ram and 5900x processor for like 1800
If you get any of those alienware models it's highly recommended to upgrade to the water cooler for the CPU. It would be interesting to see this with that option. Shame you don't have it since it's only like $50 more or something.
"Do you want one"
"Does a South African want to be tazed! OF COURSE I WANT TO BE TAZED! I mean yes I want a 3070 please"
no worries u are safe for the moment there's no 3070's available either :(
But there are LOTS of tasers in SA! ⚡
@@rodneyk6913 should have been the other way around if u ask me ;)
@@1worldgaming18 I have it!! Get the taser manufacturers into gpu production.
@@rodneyk6913 it's brilliant man!
the gpu heats up the air before it gets to the processor so yeh it will run hot also, there is no watercooling on the processor, I ALWAYS SAY IF YOU BUYING ALIENWARE get the watercooling option dont be cheap! great video as always
You could possibly use a slim 120mm fan in the front and still fit the gpu.
trying to do the same to my r12 , put a 12mm fan, it fit but the it pressure on the fan so it cant rotate.
I have a R9, I threw in the corsair AIO and changed to 3 Corsair ML pro fans. Might want to try it as it drops all the temps a good way while remaining nice and quiet. 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..
If you delete the 3.5 drive, the fan can be installed there, that will help the CPU temps.
Out of all the quality radiator fans you could’ve chosen you go for Corsair’s trash
I asked memory Express Edmonton if they had any 30 series cards or when they would have some in. On the other end, the guy just started laughing maniacally... it was as if I was trying to get a 730 Res at Dorsia.
And than everybody clapped
Wait...you got a reservation at dorsia? How the FUCK?
Poor RTX 3070 being tormented.
I know, it's being forced to play BFV. I'd overheat if I was a GPU in that situation.
How?

“I really hope it fits because it’s ...it’s a long boy and I’m not sure it’s going to”
i tried to get a 3070 and i was 1 min late was not fun
"there is so much competition going" the competition is who has something in stock and not about the product itself
I love your Alienware probing! :-))
but.....did the Aliens? ;)
Dawid "This isn't a really chodey graphics card"
Most people -- failed to recognise the meaning of the noun "chode" and the derived adjective "chodey"
I am surprised. The official dell website says it has this pc with 3090. If 3070 doesn't fit how did they fit 3090 in this case?
Dell is now selling those Aurora R10s w/a Ryzen 3700 & a Geforce 3070 GTX.
It still has only a 550 watt power supply though. It’ll be interesting to see how that plays out over the next several months.
Mine is a optiplex and is t have 500w power supply i think is a little bit low, considering in worst case the pc can drown up to 400w
how the heck did you get 96 degrees on your cpu when furmark is a gpu stress test .-. that chip is degrading every time you use the PC. makes sense you didn't need to sacrifice a goat, that Ryzen's done for in a few months. gg alienware cooling
Obviously that CPU fan symbolizing piece of plastic isn't capable of producing any fresh air over the CPU to cool it down. 😆
Dawid knew going in (I am sure...) that the water cooling option is literally a must for that chassis and it is. But since he was going as cheap as possible he's currently stuck. I expect he's going to put a water cooler on it eventually and upload it a video on it. Seems to be something that needs to be done.
6:01 when he said plastic shroud, i see a little shroud pic on the bottom left lmao
"Once the stock stabalizes" oh sweet summer child.
You can remove the front panel on that chassis and put the front intake fan on the outside of the frame then put the front panel back on.
Of course it's a terrible idea, that's why we come here. Benefactor: Here's a 3070, ENJOY. Dawid: How can I make it burst into flames?
When you max out only one skill and forget about the others:
I like how shroud always appears on the screen whenever dawid says shroud
Amazing video Dawid. I'm wondering will the 3070 founder edition fits in the Alienware Aurora R11?
Why is there a random face pooping up on the screen at 6:01
it's shroud
I love that he used "chodey" as an adjective lol
"Close to the fusion point of silicon" at 10:44
That got me 😂
funny how I did the same thing putting a 4070Ti in Aurora R12, I had to take the bottom fan off to fit the GPU in, and the temp has never gone above 80C
Alienware actually posted a video on their CZcams Channel last Month using this Aurora Pre-Built PC with the RTX 3080/90 Cards.
Yeah they have a redesigned cooler since the chassis only allows for 10.5" cards if you want to keep the intake fan.
2:52 My favourite scene in that film bar none lol, plenty of memes there xx😁😆🤣
I did not know how bad the inside looked :(
Humming along with a off the shelf GIGABYTE RTX 3090 Turbo in my R11. Only 3090 I found that would fit. I had to change my front fan to a slim but that’s the only mod I had to do. Fan orientation is good as well. Exhaust points down instead of up towards the GPU.
IT RUNS CRYSIS AT OVER 40 FPS ? IMPOSSIBLE
Rtx 3070 : finally a worthy opponent 😂
Bro Alienware sucks, if anything its like a level 100 going back to the level 1 area
I love how you make your videos really sincere
can it fit in a RTX 3080? The RTX 3080 is 42mm larger then the 3070
“Alienware has a really good airflow” said no one ever lol. How much did Dell pay you?
Obvious sarcasm flew over your head
"Gets his salad tossed all over the room by the hulk."👀
So, uh... what movie were you watching.
I love how unusual the videos are, but it always feels vaguely useful. I'm sure there's someone out there genuinly considering something like this. It's crazy and weird but it'll work.
You nailed it.
Plus his low key humor. His is favorite pc Tech tuber.
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
Me: reading the title (Putting an RTX 3070 in an Alienware Pre-Built: A Terrible idea?)
Me: NO GOD! PLEASE NO!!! NOOOOOOOOOO
FIRST
goddmanit
congrats i was 2nd
congrats
So i can safely remove the back intake fan on my own prebuit? I have the same oversized gpu problem too
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
Your alienware R11 didn't come with its own GPU? Huh where did that go
At work, so cannot watch as much of the video as I'd like, but quick question... did this card fit alright?? I've read that 267x114x51 is the max size to fit a card in an R11. I have an R11 and it's been irritating looking within those constraints!
I'm new here. Wesley Crusher experimenting on old 21st century gaming tech got me enlisted. See you in engineering.
Got an R11 myself with an I9-10900k and 3090 and my GPU doesn’t go above 70 at full load and CPU hovers around 65
Still going well with the R11 Andrew? I just pulled the trigger on a 10900k with 3080 and had concerns about temps. But your post is very reassuring! Doing any mining on the side with that beast?
The liquid cooled cpu option manages the temperatures dramatically better. There are known cooling issues with alienwares fan cooled cpus since the power supply basically covers it completely
Little did we know, all the video cards are gone instantly and what is left over is a lot more expensive than they were last year.
What about a 3080FE or Asus TUFF 3080. I've heard it should fit with a noctua fan.
Is it easy to upgrade to upgrade the cpu aswell?
This case isn't known for it's good airflow. Don't know where you got that idea? Pretty curious if it doesn't run to hot
I'm sure someone already pointed out Dawid could've run the fan cable thru the front of the chasis, screwed it to the outside and then slapped the front bezel back on, so still utilizing a front fan and still fitting the card
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).
Do you know if you could add another fan in the drive bay above it, also do you have a link to the fan you used is it that black one or brown one.
Sept 2021, supply still hasn't stabilized....
This market blows...
I'm digging the 2009 era rage race when talking about Big Navi
You're also the only CZcamsr I know with a vocabulary like "Chode-y" 😂
With the shape of that case, I was half expecting to see Michael Fassbender's head in there when you opened it.
That PSU wont be happy in a couple of months, like linus said, the new RTX 3000 series has spikes in power that can trigger the PSU to shut down. Im actually impressed how that psu handle it.
I've not heard of anybody with a 30 series GPU getting shut downs.
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!
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!
I am not sure how often you check and reply to questions, so here goes: I own a R11 Computer (built in 2020) and have tried putting new thermal past on existing air cooled CPU. 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
Thank youuuu! I have been looking for someone to show me this!
It's just not the same without Dawid getting tazed at every mishap.
The 2-fan cards are the ones to be used in the R7-R12
Dawid, thank you for the videos and great content. I love watching and learning a thing or two. I have a very strange question do you know if the CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM DDR4 RAM will fit in this case? I ordered this pc and wanted to upgrade the memory. Thank you in advance.
use the bottom slot for the GPU. it fits internally better and you can get a slim fan to support putting the side panel back on.
the bottom slot only runs at 8x or 4x pci-e not 16x
Love the vids could watch this man for hours
I’ve read that get rid that fan would create a negative pressure (due only one exhaust fan is working) which might damage the system inside the PC, is that true?
Negative pressure won’t damage shit. It just brings in more dust because the sole exhaust pulls dust in from any nook and cranny it can find.
3070 founders edition fits perfect in the lower slot after removing the lower drive brackets for better air flow.
I’ve just bought one!!, was thinking the same, use the second slot!! is there any special config I should consider?
@@djbrokoly3909 I have an aurora previous design from 3 years ago and just replaced the stock 1080ti with a 3070. 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). From this video the latest aurora layout seems to be the same as the previous gen.
@@nicoscoolvids Love to hear that!, in my case, I have occupied both ssd brackets, is it really necessary to remove them?, with the 3070 did you perceived a good or a awesome performance boost?, thanks.
@@djbrokoly3909 got my 3070 just a couple of days ago and haven’t had a chance to use it much yet. It has no problem driving my qhd at 165 FPS with doom at highest settings. Haven’t had a chance to try rtx titles yet. Regarding the bottom trays, they’ll be pretty close to the bottom fans of the 3070 founders, best try it and keep a close eye on the temps. Personally if I need more storage I’ll get an external enclosure.
Can you PLEASE do more of these?! We need to see more of these old parts & new parts miss-matches. What this showed me is, if you are doing a slow PC upgrade, you can temporarily put in a new GPU into current PC while slowly getting the other components. I've also been curious to see how old PC also handle newer 3200ghz Ram.
hahaha "for $500, once stock stabilizes" lmao
I really like the aesthetic of that alien ware case.
i work as dell tech support and it was hilarious to see the error code from the diagnostics when you booted the alienware machine XD
im on my shift ATM and im dying here
but i love ur vids keep it up!
new comment on old video, I enjoyed watching this , got a good laugh because even though you didn't check the dimensions first , just went for it and then it worked! I know there are some cards that will fit now, but i get twitchy thinking about removing that front fan. very good video. thanks for the info.
in this exact boat. Old R11, wanting to add a 3/4 series rtx card and I"ve seen the dimensions 267x114x51 tossed around and there are very few cards that fit that.......
I'm a bit late but wanted to make a suggestion. I don't own an R11 (still have my trusty R7), but from the video (7:36) it looks like there are vent holes on the bottom of the case. Why not mount the in-take fan there? Just a thought. Great vid by the way!
He sounded like the assholes in spongebob at 5:23 it’s super funny 😁
