Aurora R11, VRM heatsink
So I just got my Aurora R11 liquid cooled (it was air cooled before) and I see, I need a VRM heatsink. The part number is N1C1D and I've contacted Dell a couple times to see if they have stock but it's the same answer, they have no idea when they will have more stock. Now I am worried that my desktop will burn or what some problems without that heatsink. Does anyone know a third party that will or is making that part ? Please help.

If you go to amazon.com and search for N1C1D it comes up. Does not look like it is in stock, and as always be careful when installing these if they are OEM. To bad Dell decided to omit these on air cooled systems.

@daniel060
You can also check the price with Dell. One user reported purchasing it for $5 from Dell. Note the R10 vrm is two separate pieces and the R11 Vrm is one interconnected piece as pictured here $5 direct from Dell

I just ordered the part from Amaz0ne.
One American site search for a
Deal4GO VR Voltage Regulator Thermal Module VRM Heatsink Replacement for Dell Alienware Aurora R11 R12 0N1C1D N1C1D
I had no luck at dell middle east or with their 3rd party vendors out here.
Hope this helps @daniel060

It comes back in stock every 3 weeks or so, it's been doing that for several months now.

I think VRM heat sinks FAQ deserves a sticky. It's a topic that keeps coming up over and over again.
