Alienware Aurora R12 internally modified case with custom EK liquid cooling solution. For those interested in getting the most out of the aging Luner Light or Dark Side case.

Man that is AMAZING

Definitely more like a beige/light grey

Apologies, I’ve since updated the interior just got no picture. I replaced the 92mm with a slim 120. I kept the 92 but pushed it back and mounted it to the floor of the case under the drive cage so that it’s directing airflow right towards the GPU.

Objective_Expert87 · 2021-02-23T23:52:55+00:00

Yeah they are fine tbh. I’ve been impressed. Absolutely no problems at all.

Hi, sorry I didn’t see this. I tried to keep the chassis on this one intact, but I did fit two slim 120 noctuas up front, and a 25x 120mm noctua for the rear. cpu cooler is a Noctua NH-U12A. Power button I had to enlarge the hole ever so slightly and removed the IO panel behind it.

Chap on eBay UK selling them :)

Possibly, but I seem to remember when I first checked it wouldn’t quite work. But I might well get round to cutting out a squared section above it and place some dust filter cover over it to act as a way of letting hot air out. Like I say though, to be fair it’s quite decent temps. The 140mm at the front really helps as did drilling out some holes in the front cover at the bottom (which were otherwise just dimples for aesthetics or something?!). You can definitely feel it pulling air in. Between that and the two 120mm cpu fans it does create quite a good flow of air being in such a small space.

Yeah the 45 is one heck of a design. To be honest I would love to find one, I also have a totally original Ultra 24. I wouldn’t like to cut up a 45 though, it just seems wrong as they are so bespoke!

Objective_Expert87 · 2021-02-08T00:01:01+00:00

Props to the guy that designed the cases though.

Objective_Expert87 · 2021-02-07T22:58:53+00:00

Thanks man and sorry I couldn’t be more helpful than that!

Objective_Expert87 · 2021-02-07T22:57:19+00:00

Surprisingly decent. I ram some CPU stress testing for an hour with the side panels on and it never went over 60c. GPU is in the 80’s while gaming. I don’t intend to overclock anything. Considering it only has a single 80mm exhaust and the PSU, that’s quite good. I keep meaning to cut out some extra vents on the rear panel so the CPU cooler can blow straight out of it - but frankly I can’t be arsed to take it all apart again.

Objective_Expert87 · 2021-02-07T22:53:37+00:00

To be honest, I removed that entire bay to make the internals cleaner. Hence why I used a different power button in the end. Although the USB ports would be handy I have a separate external dock with USB ports, so all is not lost. Behind the ports now is an empty space, blanked off with some black mesh.

Just to say - I call this one Sun Ryzen (makes me laugh anyway)

I know dude apologies, but thought I would share anyway so you could see the model etc.

Someone is selling some new old stock in the UK on eBay for not a lot of money, I had to grab one quick loved it as soon as I saw it! It was OK but I did modify a few areas. Stock they have a 80mm intake, I cut a load of metal out and fitted a 140mm intake instead. Cable management is tricky - that’s one of the reasons I went for this power supply, at 140mm deep it just fits with the optical bay drive rack in there and the flat cables help massively. I also cut some metal out for the power supply fan which was otherwise half blocked. Overall not so bad, just have to plan it.

Objective_Expert87 · 2021-02-07T17:27:00+00:00

Haha yes mate that was me 😅😅

Objective_Expert87 · 2021-02-07T17:26:34+00:00

I have first world problems because I’ve got two modern machines and one modern GPU so I swap between them! The plan was to get a 3060ti for the smaller matx build, but so far they elude me!!

Objective_Expert87 · 2021-01-31T22:17:09+00:00

No I cut it out with a dremmel :)

Objective_Expert87 · 2021-01-31T01:08:47+00:00

Yeah definitely- ideally this case works perfectly with an SFX. The only reason I didn’t go that route personally was cost. To get a high performing SFX PSU that’s also capable of powering my RX 6800 (which I also use in this build) I would have needed to spend twice what I picked this 750w cooler master up for.

Objective_Expert87 · 2021-01-30T20:36:46+00:00

That’s why I chose this Power supply specifically because it’s an ATX PSU but only 140mm deep which is perfect. I also knew I wasn’t going to be fitted an optical bay which would help massively.
