- This video is the first video that I have done regarding PC build or repairs and I loved doing it. Its about 20 minutes longer than it should be and I apologize for that. I will get better at editing for future videos. I make a few mistakes here and there, but its a bit hilarious at times. Let me know what you think in the comments. Enjoy and thanks for watching.
One Small discrepancy... The Graphics card is a Nvidia GTX 960...... NOT a 970... I apologize if I said it wrong.
I just got myself and R2 and will be doing the same. Thank you for your video!
No problem my friend... glad to help... they are great starter gaming PCs... thanks so much for watching
@@WhiplashHell Question for you. I was reading that the R2 can get pretty warm during heavy gaming. Do you have any mods you recommend like putting taller rubber feet? The CPU and GPU fans are tight together and I think its custom fitting so I dont think I can put a custom fan and heat sink inside. I modified an older Predator 2.1 case to fit a 360mm radiator but think I hit the wall with this small case.
Luke G I think it draws air from bottom.... vents all the way around... I would love to put a better heatsink and fan on it... but I know of none that fits... the case would have to be modified... I was thinking of looking around for something but I have not had the opportunity... sorry I couldn’t be of more help
Whiplashll Hell I’ll start experimenting from the bottom. Thank you!
Luke Galárraga thank you for watching
Its the case. Take off the case and you will see about 10-20 degrees cooler. And the jet sound goes away only when you play high demand games. Watch.
Thanks for tip but I would never leave the case off… when I was using it I got used to the sound and wasn’t that big of deal… I re paste the gpu and cpu because the original paste was dried up and causing over heating.. and the re paste worked… no more issues since… thanks for watching 😎
I bought one of those for my daughter a few years back, she still has it and no clue if she has ever opened it up if she needs to at least have a ref video for it
They are good starter gaming computers.... I used mine for a year to record videos off of and play games before I decided to upgrade to the R8... Granted it was mainly 7 days to die, but I really like that computer... thanks for the reference though... yeah that GPU needed some new thermal paste pretty bad... thanks so much for watching.
I habe an R1 I ugraded from an I3 to an I5 .
I do not blame you at all.... i5 would be much better for gaming.. thanks for watching.
Do you know what's the better CPU that Alienware Alpha R2 can have?
Not sure... but if I remember right at the time that I purchased this computer the best cpu was an i7 ... I think a 6700 series... which is what is in this computer..
Intel Core i7-6700T
you can buy an "Alienware Graphics Amplifier" and plug it in the back of your R2 and put almost any graphics card in it. Best way to upgrade your system mine is running any game out there, most in 4k at over 30fps. It all depends on the graphics card you pick but that system has a lot of life left in it.
If you don't have the hole you can cut it in the plastic, the plug is there on the motherboard. There are videos on youtube that show you how.
Benoit Tremblay that’s a great tip... I actually thought of doing this on many occasions but I opted to purchase a new aurora R8 instead... and I love it... I use the R2 for the grandkids... they play games on it... mainly Fortnite but they have a lot of fun with it... and mine does have the appropriate plug in for the amplifier.....thanks for watching 😎
I got one with a 1070
Awesome 😎
Do you know what size the screws are holding the pc together?
kenneth mason no sir... I do not... I would try searching google for them if I needed some... sorry I couldn’t help and thanks for watching 😎
@@WhiplashHell it's cool. I tried google and I ordered some m2x6mm screws and they were too small.. not wide enough..
kenneth mason maybe go to dell website and support and see what you can find there.... find specs for the computer you own or contact dell yourself and see what they say... I wouldn’t pay for support but that’s up to you
where can i buy one
Umm... I would check eBay... about best option... dell discontinued them
