Aurora R7, fans revving up and down

My Alienware aurora fans are always revving up and down when I play some games but I don’t know what’s the issue. It looks like it seems to be the front fan.

Dell uses server grade 5500 RPM AVC fans, if it gets too noisy you can always replace them with quiet fans like the Corsair ML120 Pro.

I used the noctua NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM for my top and front fan but for my top fan it keeps taking me to support assist and saying error top fan.

Corsair ML120 Pro will clear startup without an error check.  Dell programmed it to check the fans on startup, and it is more particular with the top fan.  But the Corsair ML120 pro (note, must be the pro, and non-LED version, on the R7) is close enough to clear the test.

Can you send me a link to just one for the top fan ?

@Alejandrorub    100% sure it’ll work ?

99.5% sure it will work. Also, any 3-pin fan will work, but will not be modulated.

Will the Corsair fans and the noctua fan mess up my pc cause of different rpm or no ?

They will not mess up your PC at all. However, they may mess with your head as you try to figure out AWCC with non-Dell fans and you may never know what rpm your fans are running. Look for a 3rd party app that reports fan rpm and not % of 'who knows what?".  To reiterate, if you get the right 3-pin fans, you will always know exactly what rpm your fans are running.

Any app that tell rpm of the fans?

I can see the fan rpm on the Alienware thermal control but do you know another 3rd party app that shows the fans rpm ?
