Aurora R7, does the liquid cooler use standard mounting?

Question

Does the water cooler that comes with the Aurora R7 use standard ATX mounting? I want to get a new motherboard, but want to make sure the cooler will be able to be installed on the new board and that the fans can be installed in the new case.

I plan on using the same CPU (I7-8700) so I shouldn't have a problem moving the liquid cooler to another LGA 1151 300 series motherboard?

I doubt you'd be able to reuse the Alienware liquid cooler on most aftermarket cases, unless it's a SFF case. The reason is unrelated to the mounting system (although you'd have to unglue the mounting backplate from the motherboard).  The reason you'll have a problem is because the liquid tubes are specifically cut to length for the aurora r7 case, and are only about 1/5 the length of your standard AIO water cooler. So you will probably have trouble attaching the radiator to the vent in an aftermarket case, considering size limitations.  Otherwise, yes it's 1151 standard Intel 75 mm spacing for the mounting bracket on the AIO cooler.
