Aurora R7, heatsinks
Hello,
I read a post on here somewhere where somewhere managed to get a heatsink from Dell. I'm missing the small one next to the sockets for the fans and pump. I can't find the post now, but I wonder if anyone can assist in how and where I can purchase one for my Aurora R7? Please see picture to see which heatsink it is I'm missing.
TIA.

You are not missing anything. The Aurora R7 has the VRM heatsink only on the left side of the CPU, where the VRMs are actually located. Those holes in your motherboard photo are unthreaded placebos.

professor is spot on. according to one Alienware user
(1) there is only one VRM heatsink for the R7, it is shipped on all R7/8/9 configs.
(user’s R7 PC, it has a VRM heatsink).
(2) there is no L shaped VRM heatsink option for the R7, 8 or 9 or anything before R10.
