Sorry I fast forward your video when the fans kicked in and i didn’t know you were doing the diag test. Alienware fans are high rpm for a reason because of the case designs. Hopefully that will change in the next few years.
I think the Alienware team confuses airflow with high RPM fans. It's not because you install high RPM fans you will get good cooling results. I changed mine back then to Noctua's and it made no difference to inside case temperatures but a big difference to noise. Louder is not always better...
I understand. I kinda get the feeling that its missing exhaust ports. I mean the R11 has the top and little slots in the back. I would like to put a littlle 40or 60mm Noctua on top of my 3090 card where the exhaust grill is at but I don’t think it thin enough.
Compared to an R7 or R8 an R13 is a breath of fresh air. My R7 used to annoy anyone within earshot when worked hard. Even with headphones on you could hear it. It was the main reason i upgraded.
I wanted to bring to attention on my system the system thinks front temps are between 60-99Celcius, this is in my airconditioned home. The temps are wrong on the readings and this is causing fans to go full out when not needed. I think an update to firmware could help. That said updating mine seemed to help a little but did not fully solve the bogus temp readings. Im thinking about just getting fans that run at a slower RPM and taking away the high noisy fans. Shouldnt be needed on a new computer like this.

liquid or air cooled CPU?
I think the diagnostic tests are supposed to ramp up the fans as part of the checkup process.
There is always Noctua.

If you max out the stock case fans, no matter what your cooling solution is, they are VERY LOUD. Actually, you don't even have to max them out lol.

There are two intake fans and one exhaust fan for a positive pressure system.

Noctua NF-A12x25 FLX for the radiator will spin at a constant 2000 rpm with 2.34 mm-H2O static pressure.
Noctua NF-S12A FLX for case fans will spin at a constant 1200 rpm at 17.8 dBA.
Both come with adapters to slow/quiet them down, if necessary.
