For the dvd drive you can buy an adapter, that’s what I did. Also for the mobo port that says “GPU_PWR, ” it’s recommended to use a an 8 pin CPU connector, as it is an EPS connector. For the GPU itself, ALWAYS use PCI-E of course.

Hi, not sure if you are still checking comments for this video anymore.. but I could use some assistance hooking up my Corsair TX650M up in my alienware R7. I had thought I figured out how to hook it up originally by watching your video, but wasn't 100% sure on the GPU_PWR and CPU_PWR hookups. I need confirmation on that part - the 8 pin (4+4) is split and part goes into CPU_PWR & we should be using a PCIe cord (6+2) and splitting to use the 6 portion of it for the GPU_PWR correct? I tried this and there was no response when all was connected & turned on PC. So I returned the product because I think it was a defective unit & I got Corsair to send me a new one.

"If everything is good, then your PC should turn on and boots up the system normally. But if it's not, you're doomed. Nevermind. Just kidding." CLASSIC

Awesome tutorial and just did the exact same build. When I boot up, I get 'check media my hd in plugged in. Not sure what to do

You think it is possible to take out everything out and put in a new case?

I'm upgrading my power supply to an EVGA 750 BP. Connected everything but getting zero power. Not sure why that is. Any suggestions?

So, the Alienware motherboard wont trip? I have my R11 crapping out just by swapping the front fan.

Hi, was your old PSU fans spinning when you turned on PC? I am having problems with my R8, when i turn on, i dont have signal to my monitor and no connection to the keyboard and mouse.

Do you know if a corsair CV550 will fit in the alienware aurora R7?.. half the price and all the wattage i need.

Thanks for the video. My son has an Alienware Aurora R7 with a 460W PSU and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 video card. He wants to upgrade the video card to something better. We were looking at the ASUS GeForce RTX 2070 Super Overclocked card. Do you recommend it and what PSU do we need? Dell suggested at least 850W to be safe. Thanks.

Hello there, thx a lot for your video. I have a quick question, you said you have upgraded your RAM, which brand or type of RAM did you use in order to upgrade? I would like to upgrade mine too, but I have read that not all the RAMs would work on this PC.

im having game freezes during game play with a 450watt gtx1080 in the r7 right now. im thinking it might be because 450watt isn't enough, what do u think?

[PhaverX]

I have the lowest end r7 i just got a rtx 2060 can i run it with the stock power supply pls answer please!!

[mm-qvgb]

Did you install the 650 GQ in the Aurora R7 also to see if it works?

[raulmarti]

But the original power supply only has 6 pin pci, the rtx 2060 needs a 8 pin. How do you handle that?

[Toebro]

Is 650 watts enough to upgrade the GPU to a 2070 or 3060? Also does the mother support such upgrade?
