Apr 19, 2023 · Hi all. My wife and I currently have matching Aurora R12 setups, and while we've loved them, we're running in to issues with the VRAM for some of our favorite titles on the 3070.

Sep 10, 2023 · I have Air-Cooled type AW AURORA R12 and does this work as well? The "OEM Fan" you mentioned in the steps is from the Dell Original AIO cooler? Plan to replace my air-cooled to water cool now cause the fan noise really loud

Thinking about getting a new Alienware Aurora R12. Had some questions about configuration. Question 1- RAM Speed: I've read some previous reddit posts about the 11th gen intel Rocket Lake chipsets/motherboard limiting RAM speed to either 3200Mhz in Gear 1 for i9 (less than 3000Mhz in Gear 1 for i7) and Gear 2 cuts the speed in half.
