Area-51 R7, fan upgrade
Hi,
I look at a lot of threads here but it's not really clear. I got a Alienware Area-51 R7 Threadripper Edition with the RTX 2080 Super.
If I want to change my "airplane" OEM fans for something good but quieter. What should I look at as models that won't do any problems (ex: Bios detection, etc.)
Thanks!

R7 uses same case as R5 and R6 which are triad 2.0

seems this is the fan (industrial) that does not trigger error

R2,3,4 uses original triad 1.0 case.

From my experience with the Area-51 R5 . . . I only had to pass the startup diagnostics test one time, then my three bequiet! Shadow Wings 3-pin 1100 rpm 15.7 dBA fans would work with no startup error. As seen in the photo below, for that one time startup, I had the 3 OEM Dell fans connected with the bequiet! fans to the motherboard with Y-splitter cables. Once I got a successful startup, I was able to remove the OEM Dell fans and I have never had a startup diagnostic error with the bequiet! 3-pin 1100 rpm fans.
