I ordered my R11 i7-10700F but did not realize the significance of CPU liquid cooling (new to Alienware coming from the Studio/XPS line).  It was a good deal so did not make sense to cancel the order and start over.  Now contemplating the OEM cooler vs. the H60.  Are there reasons for not going with the OEM cooler since one benefit is that it should avoid any BIOS issues?  It sounds like the fans are equally mediocre.

The OEM version does not require a SATA connection – so is it differently engineered?

I plan on adding a 3.5” HDD, a 2.5” HDD and a 2.5” SSD (scratch disk) in addition to the stock M.2 (OS and apps) so also wondering if I’ll run short of cabled SATA connectors.
