Aurora R7, liquid cooling unit

I am seriously considering purchasing an Aurora R7 but need to know which Asetek cooler Alienware is using. This is an important question since Alienware is only using a 120mm fan/radiator combo to cool the 8700K. 

The standard Asetec 550LC uses a standard 25/30mm radiator whereas the 570LC uses a double thick 50/60mm radiator and would be significantly more effective

@Cdchampion said: "I’ve been searching for hours now ugh. Can someone PRETTY PRETTY please link to the official R7 liquid cooler? The rig I ordered came with air cooling and I’m having the time of my life finding the unit they put in the R7’s if I had gotten the upgrade at time of purchase. It’s driving me bonkers!"

@dell-Zaki said: Please tell me where I can buy this radiator (Alienware R7)

 

As of March 2019 this is still available from Dell. I ordered one last week.

I referenced part "MH0HN" and said it was the liquid cooler for the Aurora R7.

 

I reached out to customer support as the links for it no longer work nor can you find it on their site anymore.

I used chat, I'm sure a call would work as well.

At this point ! I think it’s the best choice to call dell. Because they don’t always advertise all the parts they have on the website !

Just tried chatting with Dell a couple days ago and no luck.

03/18/2019 11:58:27PM Agent (TIP_XXXXXXX): "Welcome to Dell Parts and Accessories Sales Chat! My name is XXX I will be your Dell.com Sales Chat Expert. I can be reached at XXXXXXXXX@dell.com. How can I help you today?"


03/18/2019 11:59:00PM XXXXXX : "just wondering if you have part #MH0HN available for sale and what the cost would be"


03/18/2019 11:59:11PM Agent (TIPXXXXXXXX): "I'm glad you chatted in. Let me do my best to help you with your concern."

03/19/2019 12:04:17AM XXXXXXXX: "MH0HN Liquid cooled heatsink for 95w CPU, Asetek USA, vendor part 35-102-0000113"

03/19/2019 12:05:07AM Agent (TIP_XXXXXXXX): "Since what you are looking for is a spare part, please be advised that we currently have limited stocks for this. Please give me a few minutes to check for its availability."


03/19/2019 12:05:53AM Agent (TIP_XXXXXXX): "Thank you for waiting. I've confirmed that this part is not available currently. Afraid, too, that I will be unable to provide any guarantees as to timeframes"

Lame. :TongueTied:

Too bad the factory (where they build the Aurora-R8's) won't send them a few to sell to existing customers. They obviously have a whole box of them there.

has anyone had any more news on this. I also want to buy the liquid cooling system. One question that i dont think has been answered is whether the MB has to be removed to fit a new back plate for the cooler or whether the exiting plate can be used

Has anyone been able to verify if a 25mm thick fan would fit between the front chassis and front bezel?

Old thread, but there is some information some might not have seen.
Dell is selling two Corsair units for liquid cooling now. The H55 and the H80i V2. https://www.dell.com/koa/search?q=water%20cooler%20alienware%20aurora#q=water%20cooler%20alienware%20aurora&t=default&sort=relevancy&layout=card&@dpsalessegment:radioGroup=dhs&f:@coveodpunifiedcategory=[Processor%20Liquid%20Cooling%20System]

I'm tempted to get one or the other, but I don't know if the H80i will actually fit or not, and I'd like to know if I will need to remove the motherboard from the case to install the backplate or if by any miracle Dell is using a backplace that will work already.

Have you tried this yet with the 25mm fan?

I also updated some info on potential GPU cooling on this post and dealing with larger radiators on the newer hybrid GPU's.

I think with the size of the H80i v2, you'd probably have a hard time fitting the radiator and both fans. I was looking at the H75 (because my stock intel cooler sounds like an airplane engine under load), and I've read on other posts that the H75 ($84 - $10 rebate = $74 on newegg) will fit in the radiator cage of the R7.   https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16835181150

fyi that you can buy the H80i v2 and H55 for less on amazon.

Hello, I just bought a aurora r9, maybe a few months ago, and I intentionally knew that I was going to get a 850 watt fan cooled CPU. But now I want to upgrade to a liquid cooled CPU, maybe a nzxt kraken or corsair h80. but I don't know which liquid cooling cpu's that will fit in my aurora, would you happen to have a possible list of liquid cooling CPU's that will fit in my aurora r9.

or build your own PC the right way using this way.

only PSU makes any sound and with right PSU  the fan spins only when too hot or over 200watts load.

why go liquid then have a fan,  seems crazy to listen to load fans after such huge cash outlay

the also sell towers (rad) 2 times taller for crazy watts high

Is this 15mm slim fan hidden by the radiator? Or its working with out a fan ... 

And I'm trying to up grade my GTX 1080 ti to a Evga RTX 2080 ti XC Hybrid gaming if this is posible.
