Putting an RTX 3070 in an Alienware Pre-Built: A Terrible idea?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 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
"PUNY 1440P GAMES" SMASH!
It just hits real hard with dat alienware tho!
Dat Alienware is garbage nothing compare to my sexy 980 ti SLI if you do the math is 980 * 2 = 1960

BRUH I SEE IT NOW
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
4th wow
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.
Of course, the day Dawid gets a decent GPU he has to make it suffer...
Hahaha!! That's the only way.

"I think it should be OK"
Famous last words before disaster
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

Thank you for doing this video on the Alienware pc! Please do more of this kind of Alienware videos dawid!
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.
Yeah I have also had very positive experiences with Memory Express. Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. 😁
@@DawidDoesTechStuff , which Memory Express do you frequent, which city?
(I use the original shops in Calgary and they have treated me great for many years.)
Love the vids could watch this man for hours
I love how you make your videos really sincere
1:54 the RTX 2060 FE had the same design, power connectors moved to the end via wires.
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.
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.
So i can safely remove the back intake fan on my own prebuit? I have the same oversized gpu problem too
One day this channels gonna hit a million. And I'd be proud to be one the og 100k watchers...
Quality content!
Thanks! That's nice of you to say. 😁
@@DawidDoesTechStuff keep it up!! Love your content and hoping to see this channel grow 😊
@@kalpa_sama Thanks. 😁
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
Damn that green light with the edited in green title card, smoooooth
Love you videos there so high quality
“I really hope it fits because it’s ...it’s a long boy and I’m not sure it’s going to”
I love your Alienware probing! :-))
but.....did the Aliens? ;)
Amazing video Dawid. I'm wondering will the 3070 founder edition fits in the Alienware Aurora R11?
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm thinking getting one like this. How's the noise control? Are you happy with it overall? Thanks.
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
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?
What program did you use to show your FPS and temps in the game?

did your power supply already have the 12 pin connector? or did you use the one it came with in the box?
I like how shroud always appears on the screen whenever dawid says shroud
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 love that he used "chodey" as an adjective lol
Thank youuuu! I have been looking for someone to show me this!
what was the original graphic's card on the pre-built alienware? do you need to upgrade your power supply to feed the new and more powerful graphics card?
When you max out only one skill and forget about the others:
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"
Got a question @Dawiddoestech, I just got a 3060ti and I'm using that same system, did you have any lasting issues with that 550w ps or anything else? Thks mate!
David since your a computer wizard what kind of Overclock setting do you have for your CPU on the Alienware if any?
6:01 when he said plastic shroud, i see a little shroud pic on the bottom left lmao
2:52 My favourite scene in that film bar none lol, plenty of memes there xx😁😆🤣
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
What is the program u can see temperatures and stuff see called
Alienware actually posted a video on their RUclips 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.
IT RUNS CRYSIS AT OVER 40 FPS ? IMPOSSIBLE
seeing you grow from 50000k subs is amazing
If you pop the front off the case is there any space to mount that fan?
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?
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.
Same boat with the Alienware. I have one and am thinking it will be hard in a few years to get a new gpu in there and the 500w power suppply is too low. In the future would i just be better off moving everything from an Alienware case to a bigger case before doing any major parts upgrades?
great vid dawid!!!
Why is there a random face pooping up on the screen at 6:01
it's shroud
Rtx 3070 : finally a worthy opponent 😂
Bro Alienware sucks, if anything its like a level 100 going back to the level 1 area
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
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.......
“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.
Hey David sorry to ask. Is it worth to return the r11 and purchase a different one with a 3080. That's 2 months out lol or just wait to upgrade from my pre-built r 11 2080 super. Because it looks like its upgradable. Dell told me only goes up to 2080 ti. Seems like they just lied to me.
With the shape of that case, I was half expecting to see Michael Fassbender's head in there when you opened it.

hey man, i have a quick question...
i just ordered an alienware auora R11 with intel-core i710700KF with the graphics card of NVIDIA 3070.
i currently own a 1080p 240Hz alienware monitor and was wondering if all these specs stated would be a fantastic combo together or if the CPU would be strained or overheat?
Can't believe how good the thermals are on the 3070! Nice experiment!
"Once the stock stabalizes" oh sweet summer child.
Help I've been binge watching this guy for hours now.
Is there not enough room for the fan on the other side of shroud?
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!
Let’s go my mans Finally is getting some recognition
What is the length of the card?
"there is so much competition going" the competition is who has something in stock and not about the product itself
I have a question and please reply do all motherboards support overclocking
How did you get a 112 fps average for gta v on max settings on 1440p with the rtx 3070? I've got one as well with an amd 9 3900x and 16gb 3600mhz ram and I only get about 80 average, dropping down to 60 and im on 1080p
Could this fit in an aurora R6 case? I believe it's larger but you might know off hand, currently have 1070
You know if the New Rtx 4090 fit in the R12 or how i can know before buy the gpu
I did not know how bad the inside looked :(
Brilliant video dawid
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!
Maybe I'm wrong but does it say RTX 3080 as the GPU in Furmark @ 10:25? It says 3070 above that so I am confused.
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.
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!
The clock speeds in game looked normal but did the gpu throttle at all when running furmark?
Hi been a fan of your videos for the last few months since I purchased my son an Alienware R11, I ordered it with I thought 16Gb of ram (2x8Gb), but received it as single channel 16Gb instead, that was fine but definitely hindered the system, so I purchased off Amazon the identical ram at 16Gb, installed it, and it solved the issues with gameplay for him.
He awoke this morning turned on the system and the R11’s little alien head was flashing yellow with two flash intervals( I found from Dell this to mean the CPU doesn’t recognize any Ram installed) removed the new Ram and inserted it into a new slot with the same situation occurring. Removed the new Ram all together and it works fine but with the original gameplay issues, I assume the Ram is bad but could it be another answer?
How did you turn off the Front Fan Error on BIOS?
How are you getting over 100 fpsin bf5 on ultra. I often get around 40 in crowded areas...
So like, should I upgrade my 2070 to 3080? Would have to take one front fan off.
Thoughts?
What the, so this compact Alienware has better thermals than a mesh case? That's pretty crazy. Btw, what happened to the gpu from the Alienware? Are you able to use that like any other gpu in another system or are there limitations?
