XPS 8920 Liquid Cooling Possibility
I have been debating experimenting with liquid cooling my XPS 8920 tower. The Aurora Setup from dell looks like it would mount factory right into the case? Has anyone one attempted this or liquid cooling their XPS towers at all? If so what setups did you use and how was the experience over all?

ALL water cooler that have the right dimensions should fit on XPS 8920 such as a corsair H80i water cooler. But why though? Skylake CPU's don't need this much cooling the stock dell heatsink shall do fine.

This model does have the option of liquid cooling -- you're likely better off contacting Dell for the XPS parts than guessing or trying to retrofit the Alienware parts to the XPS chassis (they may or may not be identical).

I couldn't find anyway it stated it had an option? And it doesn't show up in parts and accessories. So I guess I will contact them and get back with an answer

Well that's good to know, I was looking at the H80i. The only real reason I have is... because I can. Its like swapping a belt driven fan out on a car for an all electric system just to gain 5 HP. Although I do realize that computers and cars differ significantly. But thank you for the feed back.
