What air cooling or liquid cooling to use.

hello there people, im new to this forum but im here for a reason.

i wanted to know what liquid or air cooling products could fit and work well on the alienware aurora r7, i have the pc but i notice it came with really, but really bad fans and it sounds like kinda like a jet when is trying to cool my cpu on high work loads.

so i wanted to know what will fit and work with this computer thank you.

Just buy some nicer fans or an air cooler. Watercooling is probably not supported in that case.

Huh, learnn something new everyday, pre built with support for watercooling. Funny.

 

If you aren't willing to spend over 120 bucks on watercooling, it isn't worth your time. And even at that price, I don't think it's worth. Get a nice air cooler. The nicest air cooler out there performs as good or better (over time) and costs about 40 bucks less than a low-mid range watercooler. My water cooler is a DEEPCOOL Captain 240EX which is a well reviewed one going for about a 120 bucks, and I like it less than my 30 dollar air cooler. At load, a good watercooler will outperform a air cooler, yes. But at idle, after a while, a air cooler kicks any water coolers ass. Water retains the heat. My recommendation is that you go for a Phanteks PH-TC14PE or a noctua NH D-14.

 

and some nicer system fans.

 

Also locate the source of the noise. Take off the side and listen to each part, is it the PSU fan? The CPU fan? Case fan? Adjust accordingly.
