I want to build my own new PC and I am wondering if it's possible to put the DELL Nvidia RTX 3070 from my Alienware Aurora Ryzen in a new PC with a new motherboard?
The answer is yes - the card will work in another system. It's becoming very common for buyers to select pre-built systems just for the video card -- since the current shortages mean buying one separately is either prohibitively expensive or (for some models like this one) difficult to impossible.

Hi @Fennix900 please consider getting an external GPU (eGPU) enclosure with high wattage PSU and install modern very powerful GPU cards. This will allow laptop to be more responsive to gaming, applications demanding high performance GPU, etc. Best eGPU Enclosures in 2022 | Windows Central

Hi @Fennix900 this is a user-to-user Alienware Laptop discussion forum. Just bringing other options to your attention for your consideration. You should post your thread in a different forum.
Why you want to put DELL Nvidia RTX 3070 into a new build, and not the full version of Nvidia RTX 3070 is a mystery.

it will definitely work as most GPUs for Auroras are in tight spaces so you are putting in a case that's much bigger or just a little bigger than the Auroras will help it out thermal wise so just like @ejn63 said:
Yes.

Quick Tip: If your laptop has voltage / charging issues, try shutting it down, unplugging power from laptop, hold power button down for 30 seconds to do a full reset!
Ditto crimsom and adding that, if you wanted to talk about a desktop, you should have posted in a desktop forum - not a laptop one. The attitude most definitely needs adjustment.
First of all, im sorry for asking this in the wrong forum.
But thanks for your reply.
So, I bought an Alienware Aurora Ryzen PC with the DELL GPU and I am really happy with it.
But now, it's time for me to upgrade the PC with a better cooling system and a new case.
And the new build should also be upgradeable, so a newer motherboard would be the best thing.
But I wasn't sure if this is even possible so I asked.
Basically I just want to put the GPU, Processor and the Drives in a new PC with better cooling system. The main reason for that is the lack of cooling for the processor and in the Alienware case there isnt enough space for a good water cooling system.
Shouldn't be any problem at all. I put my Alienware 3080 in three different systems to test it and it worked as it should. As long as you have the slot for it, and the power supply/connections.
