Alienware Aurora R13 Water Cooling

**This video was a proof of concept. This is now my current setup: • Alienware Aurora R13 Liquid Cooled GP... • The Dell Alienware Aurora R13 is one powerful and pretty machine. Mine came with the GeForce RTX 3090. Unfortunately this card runs hot. The back surface of this graphics card is not adequately cooled by the measly original backplate. This is my attempt water-cooling the card with a Bykski sandwich water block. This unit is half the price of a similar EKWB Quantum Vector water block. I managed to reduce the temperature of the back VRAM by 30°C. • I upgraded the 3 original Alienware case fans to Noctua NF-F12 industrialPPC-3000 PWM fans. These fans move more air than the original fans when running at full speed. Although these fans can spin up to 3000 rpm, most of the time they are only operating at less than 30% speed so they are actually quieter than the RGB AIO fan that I left behind. • While upgrading, I also added a 92mm Noctua fan to the back. The Alienware AIO CPU cooler only has a single 120mm radiator and I felt it was not doing a good job at cooling. So I decided to add another fan in a push-pull configuration. The mounting holes only allowed a 92mm fan. I'm not sure if this is effective. I didn't do a proper before and after comparison of CPU temperatures but I think although the temperature is about the same, the fans are running quieter. • ---------------------------------------------------------------------- • I'm not a professional YouTuber so I don't have a tripod or microphone to do voiceovers.
