Alienware aurora r3 question

I bought a r3 about 4 years ago and I was wondering if I had to take it apart could use all internal parts it is the motherboard, gpu, etc. in another case or is there a problem with the motherboard being only for alienware aurora r3

It should work, but why? It's just a little tip mATX $150... not really worth going. It is MSI-clone with custom Dell BIOS.

  • Small RAM upgrade question for Alienware Aurora R5

    Hello! Currently, I have an Alienware Aurora R5 with 2 x 4GB 2133 MHz RAM sticks and am really happy with it so far!

    But I would add another stick of 8GB 2133 MHz to bring it up to 16 GB, thing is, I'm not quite sure if I can simply another 8 GB stick fit into the slot XMM3 and make it work.

    partly because I couldn't find any documentation on what the latency of tensions/schedules/AR are on the 2 RAM sticks of 4 GB in the pc are currently, and I think as those that are important for the upgrade of ram,

    And because of this thing I found in the online manual for the R5

    Seems to say that there are only 5 configuration, I can have this set in stone or is it just that they tested?

    Thanks, Saucybagel

    P.S. I moved here instead of "office computer Forums (Audio, General Hardware, video) ' as advised.

    P.P.S. well, positions of copied it exceeds in any case, I don't know if I can move, heh

    Hello

    Yes, the 8 GB will work on the slot XMM3.

  • Alienware Aurora ALX lights does not work master of e/s part #.

    I tried to get the lights on my Alienware Aurora ALX job. The only lights that works are the head alien and the flange. Work, I mean that they are white. When I Command Center, it doesn't even show fan/readings of temperature or light speeds. I think that my I/o card is bad.

    I can not get something to change in Comand Center.

    I tried all the solutions on the forums and nothing seems to work.

    I reinstalled windows 3 times. Nothing.

    I reinstalled Alienware Command Center 6 times (correct version and the different)

    I tried shutting down the computer, unplug the power cord and hold the power button for 1-2 minutes thing, didn't work.

    I went to reset the map using the Green rider, did not work.

    I ran a diagnosis and everything seems fine, don't know if it's testing the Master Control I/O Board.

    I'll order an Alienware Aurora ALX Alien FX / Master Control I/O Board, because I am sure that my i/o board is bad.

    The reference is 02JXP2 and version 1.1 mine said A02

    The white mark on my map of IO said A02, but it has the same part number 02JXP2 and version 1.1.

    My question is can I use a Board with the same part number but it says A04?

    Here is a picture of the map of IO with the A02, I want to buy a economy part number 02JXP2 and at the bottom says A04 instead, but is a version 1.1.

    If anyone as any advice before ordering the card / advice to see if I can get the lights work on my computer?

    ThatOne_Gamer

    I don't have the cable that connects the motherboard to the MIO card.

    I'm sure that's why my ect lights do not work.

    Right... If it is not connected, it cannot work.

  • Alienware Aurora R4. The system fan problems

    Hi, here is my story/problem...
    My computer is a desktop, Alienware Aurora R4. It is less then a year old. This problem started about 5 days ago now. I called the support technique dell twice. and they don't seem to help, I got frustrated with the phone so im hoping it will work...

    So here's the question: my system fan continues to operate at 4150-5000 rpm and only goes to about 1400-2200 rpm at idle. Today, it has begun to stop randomly. I watched 3 ambient temporary sensors all remaining 24-26 degrees Celsius. The PPI and the fans of hard drive are good at all about 1456 and 1089 RPM.

    Initially the RPM increased while I was gaming. but it did not take long and now whenever I try to do anything he will get very hard and RPM goes crazy. Originality, my PC would be slowed to about 1200-1400 rpm and only go up to 2200-2400 RPM, where the game. its almost as if it was under high load when it is not. and its cool so I'm sure that's not over heating.

    I disassembled the pc and cleaned all the fans and dust with the correct air boards. I have confirmed that everything is properly connected. When that didn't help, I found BIOS version A05 then I updated to the A07.  I ran the Dell PC Diag and it passed, the autopsy of alienware last, Ive ran several analyses of McAfee antivirus, reinstalled the Alienware command center and down the stock of dell pc - which posed problems. I paid and installed the mechanic system and fixed these issues.

    The first time I called Dell tech support guy was very friendly and I have not heard his name. He did lose his time with my settings of video card (not sure why as its only the system fan connected to the wheel and the pump, that is the question) he said that he had to be updated so it updated my video card, and that's all. told me he would send me the next day to check if it worked or not. There has never been back in contact with me, and I have no e-mail address. But all that adds to the question... because since he did this update my gaming experience is terrible. I only play World of Warcraft currently. Normally, my FPS are 75 to 100 FPS and now they jump around a bit, but mostly to sit at 2-17 FPS and sometimes go to 50 FPS, if I'm not moving. So im guessing the settings it's fair question... my card is a 2 GB AMD Radeon 7870

    Then, I recalled once again a day later. and the next guy was not as friendly. don't give me his name either. he wouldn't do anything, he just told me that the notes from the last call said that it was not a problem, and that it was quite normal heating. I'm sorry but my house is way cooler in the summer then it's winter and temperatures are always flat and stable. its blowing cool air and a large amount of air. He didn't listen at all.

    then the next day it remains to 4150 rpm for 90% of the day instead of 60% of the day. even if im not using it. And she randomly stopped several times. from what I can find on these forums and online that is as a module fail safe mode... so obviously it is not normal!

    As today is the first day it started to close I wanted to re-run the diag tests, but whenever I try, it runs for a few minutes, then the pc stops. The computer is running too slow, but this may be a different problem. I managed to get the dell diag and system mechanic to run tests, and they spent too. IM at a total loss...

    The air coming from the fan system is very strong and cool so I don't think there are more heating goes on. As far as I can tell the pump works properly and all the fans are running.

    This pc is less then a year old, so it is still warranty on it, as well as I, have purchased another year of warranty shortly before it started actually... And I don't want to try something else without help, because I don't want anything damage or damage my warranty coverage

    I'd appreciate very much any help im at a loss to know what to do, and feel the support tech will start ignoring me if I recall more. If you can help out you can reach me at my email which is [email protected]. Or respond to this conversation.

    Thank you and hope to hear from you,

    Katelin

    Hi, looks like your processor is overheating and your system shuts down in order to avoid that the components of frying. Install the utility core temperature and set up the readings of temperature on your hearts. www.alcpu.com/.../download.php  Your thermal paste can must be reapplied or your water fountain might need to be replaced. Let me know what your temperatures are for the carrots and the ambient temperature.

  • Re-install windows alienware aurora r4

    Ive had a little problem with a previous problem and now I decided to reinstall windows 8.1 and I need some adivice to install windows on an alienware aurora r4

    I have the "Alienware Aurora R4 resource, but from what ive read that I shouldn't use DVDs that on it because it's old sofware.» Instead, I have to download all on the Dell.com site upadtes

    What I really need advice or a tutorial for someone who has never restore or formatted your desktop.

    Suppose that I have installed windows 8.1. will be the liquid cooling sytem processor, fans, and fans will work? im a little scared that nothing works form the beginning and can cause damage due to overheating.

    I also lose my service tag and the express service code which is on my system?

    Before you do anything on my computer, I'm on the Dell.com product support page were all the drivers for my computer are

    ON order of the instalation

    application is first (part of it is alienware command center)

    drivers

    then the BIOS

    My real question, that's really what I really need to use the resource dvd for something or technical support dell gives all the drive required for installation.

    Thanks in advance

    Drivers on the Support of Dell for the R4 page are likely to be newer than what's on your DVD of resources, so you must download them from the site and save to USB or other external device for installation on the R4.

    Probably get you a better answer to your other questions if you re - post in the forum of the Club of Alienware . And it might be a good idea to provide details of your problems and why you want to reinstall Windows. Maybe someone out there can help you fix things without having to do a clean reinstall...

    I went to very difficult to leave my boyfriend to buy this pc.  First of all, that we now live in different countries.  I live in the United States and he lives in England.  We met on a PS3 game online called DUST 514 and played a lot of pc games together as well.  It is difficult to have to steal it back, but we're getting married soon and I'll come to England.  He needs a new PC for years and was jealous of my Alienware Aurora R4. So I decided to buy one that is still better than mine since it's even greater player I am . This will also allow us to play more games together .

    Then I he wired the money and thought that everything would be ok, but you wouldn't believe the amount of screw - rises, that Dell threw on him!  They had even cancel a bunch of commands of the peoples, b/c, trying to control his spec-ed on Alienware has revealed a major screw-up affecting many clients... (Sorry, it made me delete/modify-this until his order passes through.  Dell representatives were concerned about what happened past.  I don't know if they told people that they had to cancel the real reason why orders and the possible impact on customers with currently Alienware Aurora...  I'll tell you what they have done after that his order is finally through.  Just a hint... inside your Alienware Aurora, check if you own to make sure that everything you ordered is actually there...)  He tried to do this for a week now...  I thought Dell was a little better than that... I knew they had bad grades, but really?...  In any case, it is a complete system stressed mess of it all back and on phone calls and e-mails with different people of Dell.  So I thought that, if it still manages to get the Alienware, maybe I can do even better!

    He really should have an SSD, so I'll get a. He was talking and drool on the maps of Titan, so I'll give him two EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Superclocked 6 GB GDDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI - Express cards in SLI config! : http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-06gp42791kr

    I've never built a pc or tinkered with all hardware.  I want to make this even more impressive pc by adding an SSD.  I think I can install an SSD without any problem (I want the Samsung 849 EVO Mz-7TE1T0BW 2.5 "1 TB SSD)... Oops... I just thought of something... 4 TB SATA is actually 4 2 TB SATAs, put in place with 2 as the mirror...  I think that there are only 4 connectors for extension for SSD/HDD... Is this correct?  I have to replace one of the SATAs 2 TB with the 1 TB SSD?  What configuration I would define then the three SATAs 2 TB?  Would it be to say that he would have only 1 TB SATA? Could I set up so that it has SATA 1.5 TB (with SATAs split with half active and part of the half of the mirror for a RAID configuration)?  Furthermore, I have really no idea what RAID is or fact, just that you only half of total storage really active and the second half is as a backup in case of failure of a disk or something to avoid any data loss total... It is also the thing that I'm confused about that I don't know if it is also possible to install two graphics cards of Titan in SLI configuration on the micro ATX motherboard, I guess its Alienware Aurora will be, and still less 1 Titan.  Yes I know it is exaggeration lol, but the game is very important for us, especially since this is how we met.

    Sorry for the long post... Finally, the MAIN POINT & QUESTION:

    I have to install a different motherboard like the Asus Rampage Black Edition IV: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-rampageivblackedition in order to install two Titan GPU in SLI configuration?  If so, how this O_o...?  Also, I heard that there is a 'girl' Council that controls the Alien FX LED lighting and ventilation Active... How to connect to the new motherboard (if I need to get a new one)?  Also if I get the other motherboard (if this motherboard work with everything) this motherboard would have space for 4 x 2 TB RAID 1 + 0 and the 1 TB SSD SATAs?

    Please answer.  Thanks, ~ value

    to install two Titan GPU in SLI configuration?

    Don't know why you config-ed with two years 780 in SLI if you want two Titan-SLI but this guy did:

    http://en.community.Dell.com/Owners-Club/Alienware/f/3746/p/19512935/20402844.aspx#20402844

    Personally, I'd keep just 780 - SLI, since the two configs end up being very similar to the performance. Either they're going run hot (in the game of max.).

  • Graphics card problems: Alienware Aurora R4

    Hello

    Today, I tried to install a new 770 GTX graphics card in my system, replacing the 1 GB GDDR5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 555 I had initially installed in the system, the graphics card by default. Having no experience with computers, I talked to my friend who gave me the correct warnings to recognize with respect to electrostatics.

    I followed this official video on YouTube and came out of my old graphics card and replaced it with my new. When I started the computer, Alienware logo appeared (with messages you can press F2 or F12) before turning into a black screen with a flashing icon of cursor/underscore (_) in the upper left corner. No key worked.

    Then I tried to replace it with the original graphics card, that had the same issue - but I noticed the blinking cursor was slightly further away from the upper-left corner of the other graphics card. Even if there is a difference, however, neither worked.

    Given that the system has two PCI Express slots, I pulled the screws for metal which has blocked the second and tried to move the GPU. Yet, I was getting the same error.

    After having looked up, some said they had the same problem (on the YouTube comments for linked above video), as well as vary the technical support forums. An answer to this is that the motherboard had blown perhaps. To test this logic, I took the charger for my mobile phone and plugged into a USB port on the computer... the phone has started to load.

    The BIOS does not seem to load, I tried the keys so many times. I contacted ASUS, who did the graphics card, but they do not seem to know, either. This is literally my last resort.

    Thank you.

    Hello. I have what I believe, it's a very simple question, I want to just make sure before I invest the money.

    Can I use any card Nvidia GTX 780 on my Alienware Aurora R4? In my opinion, there are different brands (Asus, EVGA, Gainward, Gigabyte) and I wonder if this would work ok. Are there significant differences between those marks and, if so, which do you recommend?

    My current characteristics are exactly the same as the original poster:

    Intel Core i7-3820 (four main, 10 MB of cache) 3.60 GHz
    Alienware Aurora: 875W matte black chassis

    Hard drive: 1 TB SATA 6 Gb/s (7200 RPM) 32 MB Cache
    Graphics card: 1 GB GDDR5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 555

    Thank you!

     
    With 875 watt PS, it should work.
     
    Most of the eVGA cards have lifetime warranty (exact model of watch no./SKU you buy actually). I would buy eVGA.

  • How to reinstall a Windows 8 dell alienware aurora r4 to factory settings?

    A friend of mine had his PC scammed (guy calls, said you that they are Microsoft and you are infected, enter your PC and then you lock out and ask $ money to let you back in).

    Anyway, he has a PC Dell Alienware Aurora R4 (comes with) running Windows 8 or 8.1 - I don't know but I know that he has not improved/changed anything. The system came with a DVD resource (nothing else).

    Now all we want to do is to restore factory default, there is nothing about this of any importance to save...

    I looked on the internet and found what looks like the right solution:

    -Enter advanced service options (holding shift at the start), select "troubleshooting."
    > "Icon Dell Backup and Recovery" is missing (how could it be?

    Without that, I'm totally stuck...
    Any suggestions? Recommendations? Ideas?

    Thank you

    After that a clean installation of Windows and the drivers of Dell system, Dell backup and restoration facility will create a new recovery partition of your own installation that you can restore as new factory settings.

    Thanks
    

    Well assuming that your diet is 875Watts and your current GPU GTX 560 ti is using power connectors 2 x 6 pin. The 690 GTX requires however power connectors 2 x 8 pin.

    All you have to do is to give the GTX 690 the right amount of power giving him connectors 2 x 8 pin.

    Just make sure that you remove your current video adapter and install the GTX 690 in the same dwelling.

    GTX 690

    GTX 560 TI

    Food-

    the image above shows the power supply, (hidden by a side cover) all the extra cables are hidden there and should be easily accessible.

    The image above shows a 2 connector pins for power in the green zone. When you take out GTX 560 Ti power connectors and place inside 690 GTX you need to add additional power connectors 2-pin.

    PS, you might be able to find 8 connectors there though.

    Good luck
