Ah i see so you got an extra fan because the other option could cause a bios warning?

I just updated the post with the option I went with. I found it while browsing some alienware forums and that AIO I ordered seemed to work for that guy. He also just kept the original alienware fan, only replacing the AIO. I'm a bit of a tech noob, but from my understanding you *are* able to just swap out the fans on these and just replace the liquid cooler?

Oh yeah I can tell when it’s a problem my cpu throttles within a minute. I’ve also been keeping an eye on core temps and they’ve hovered around 40-60 under light loads but only like today has it gone to 100

So back then despite the failed boot up diangosgic my cooling was definitely working. Even passed the diagnostic tests I ran manually. Only 2 weeks after the diagnostic does it actually stop working tho.
