As you can tell from the photos, Alienware adopted a very modular design. Access to the internals couldn't be easier, it's incredibly simple. The Alienware Service channel on YouTube is also helpful, though many of their videos are older models, not this R9 specifically. The Fan noise issue I had was resolved via BIOS update end of October. I spoke with Alienware / Dell Tech support yesterday in support of another commenter installing the Corasir H60 AIO water-cooled fan in place of stock air cooler, and learned that not all fans are replaceable, for example, the front ancillary fan (at least not easily) I hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The case itself is proprietary. While it's a good design there is not a lot of extra room inside to modify things (like add cooling etc.) The BestBuy units are aircooled. I've noticed the united sold by Dell are mostly liquid cooled. You might be able to install a liquid CPU cooler. The fans get pretty loud when putting a load on the system. I'm OK with it but it could be an issue for some.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.super easy and upgradeable. you can upgrade whatever you want. the case is easy to work with and lots of room. change motherboard, change processor, hdd, ssd, memory up to 4 slots, add PCie, change PSU, change GPU, change to liquid cooling by Corsair H60 or H75, anything you want really. i love this cpu.
