Aurora R16, part number of liquid CPU cooler?
Hi all,
I've recently bought a Dell Aurora R16. I'm not aware of the configuration of the Power and case from the website. So I've ended up with the dark side case which was with normal fan instead of liquid CPU cooler as most of the adv photos.
The normal CPU fan is quite loud and it doesn't perform well in some scenarios. I'm looking for upgrading now to the liquid CPU cooler. Anybody knows the part number of liquid CPU cooler for Dell Aurora R16 please? I asked Dell support team, they then asked me to ask Sales team, and the Sales team told me to ask Tech Support. I really don't know what to do next.
Thank you

If the system is less than 30 days from shipment, returning it for replacement is a better idea, since you will almost certainly void the warranty by replacing the CPU cooler. That said, there's a discussion of what's required including the part numbers here

First, I don't think replacing your CPU cooler with a Dell OEM unit would void your warranty, unless you fried something n the process.
Second, if you have trouble finding the OEM Dell unit, or if you want something different, some 3rd party coolers could be an option.
This is an R13, but the Chassis is nearly identical to R16.

@DELL-Chris M yes image upload works on and off recently. Is there a way or link I can access an album of all the images I uploaded to new forum i.e. current forum? sometimes I like to reuse it to help the next user. It is just so inconvenient to search for it on previous discussion. The old forum had a link under my profile to review all the pics uploaded (as well as all drafts).
