Does anyone have the part number for the Aurora R10 small VRM heatsink at the top of the motherboard? Also how I would be able to get hold of one as I live in the UK?
@r72019 Yep, we are. But TBH I haven't encountered a real-life situation where I maxed out both CPU and GPU (3070) at the same time. I don't mine virtual coin on my PC, I mostly use it for gaming, which maxes out the GPU at ~200-220W, but keeps the CPU well under 100W, since games don't use many cores.
On the rare occasions when I use Blender to render stuff (scenery for MSFS 2020), the CPU boosts on all cores to about 200W (I removed the turbo limits, so it can stay in boost mode forever), but the GPU stays really low, so again the system never reaches the PSU's potential.
Another part number I've seen is N1C1D, which is an L-shaped heatsink that covers both the side and the top VRM modules. Pic. Not sure how you'd go about ordering that from outside the US though. Here in Canada, for example, I had no other choice than to buy my VRM heatsink from Amazon. (different model than what you're looking for, but just to say that only US folks seem to have the luxury of ordering these direct from Dell at really low prices).
R11 VRM heatsink below. Notice its connected with a copper base.
I think @Anonymous has a photo of the 2 piece R10 vrm combo. Some people with the 3950X I believe shared photos showing a 2 piece VRM set on the R10. I don't think I've noticed it on any other configs.
Ok I (and by I, I mean google, this isn't a pic of my PC) found a photo of the R10, 2-piece combo on the VRM heatsink. Notice, no copper base and size appears shorter than the R11.
Were you able to actually order 4D5V9? I've been contacting Dell chat support weekly for almost 2 months and every time they give me the same exact response that it's currently out of stock and that I should try again later. How can such a tiny simple part be out of stock for this long? Don't they need this part to build new systems that people order every day?
