Alienware 17 R4 Cooling Fans Replacement | Gaming Laptop

[@jonathanhall7453]

I couldn’t see exactly what you did for the LEDs other than undoing the screws. All of my screws are undone but it still sticks to the sides where the LEDs are located.

After the screws are removed the small PCBs with the LED comes out (unless it's held down by the tape). There is a translucent tube connected to each LED but it's not a permanent connection

fery helpfull, can i know your camera type to record the video

[@YvonSmart]

I'm glad it helped. It's a Lumix S1H

Alienware didn't make it easy to make such a minor fix.

[@YvonSmart]

Yeah, that's a complete tear down for just a fan replacement

[@eddiebreen9389]

Hi any chance u can post a link for where u bought the replacement fans please

[@YvonSmart]

A link to the same exact set of fans is in the video description. Make sure it's compatible with your laptop (this is an Alienware 17 R4)

[@eddiebreen9389]

Thank you, yes i have the same model, great vid

I wonder where the heat concentrates the most

[@YvonSmart]

The major heat generators are the CPU and GPU, but a few chips always get hot so there are also in contact with the heat-sink. It isn't that bad

This thing with all its driver updates is a piece of junk I wish I built my own computer as well as built my own motherboard
