LC cooling replacement on X51 R3.
Hi,
Please would you be able to tell me how I can order a replacement cooler/fan unit for my X51-r3, which is out of warranty?
The pump is noisy all the time, and the fan is noisy when it spins up too. Using the "contact us" on Dell or Alienware UK sites has given me zero responses. Part number lookup on Dell part finder fails. 3rd party Dell parts suppliers cannot find it.
Alternatively, could you please give me some details on the air cooler for this model? I have a unit from an R1, but the spacing on the mounting holes does not look correct to me.
TIA

Cooling assembly is 5FGKT; if the Sanyo Denki fan is sold separately *shrug*, it is MVDCV
Contact Dell Spare Parts, or GoogleFu 5FGKT & MVDCV. That is all the info I have

***I have no info on differences between these air-cooled models / do not own this computer

Thanks very much, although the eBay item was much more expensive than I was imagining. Are you able to tell me whether the R3 air cooler was the same as the R1, or whether there's another part for that?
Many thanks

MVDCV is just the fan and may be hard to find.

Thanks very much.
I understand the Liquid Cooling was optional - would anyone please be able to tell me whether the non-LC option was the same as the cooler from the R1? Or what the part number for this might be?
Thanks a lot
