repair Alienware Area-51 R2 - Replace Video Card

My latch is missing is there still anyway I can take it out?

Does the Alienware area 51 r2 support the i9 9900k?

Hey there, can I put a Rtx 2070 super in a alienware aurora r7 ?

Would be good to mention that you need to remove the screw between the latches first or they won't pop the sides open!

Hey guys! I, too, I am looking to upgrade an Area 51 R2 (nvgtx 980ti/i75930K/ 32GB, DDR4/128GB, ssd/1500w, ps) and I see a lot of REALLY great questions, however, the answers seem to be missing/private?? It would be really super if other people could also have access to the answers to these questions! Some of them (the ?’s) I didn’t even really realize that I wanted to ask- until I saw someone else already had - and that, likewise, ‘Alienware Support’ ( or, someone knowledgeable) had already answered… Seems a waste for you guys to duplicate( or even more!) your efforts ... thx!

Hi I'm having trouble putting the side panel back on, could you help me?

Do​ the new 2080Ti fits in the R2 chassis?

Hey alienware, the 2080ti fe is compatible with the alienware Area 51?

Can it hold 4 gpu's ?

Hey alienware, do you know if the new 2080ti will be compatible with my Alienware Area-51 R2?

Thanks

Dear Alienware Services,
I have the Area51 R2 with one GTX 1080 Founder Edition and i would like to add a second GTX 1080 configured in SLI

Am i to buy the exact GTX 1080 Founder Edition from nVidia or i can buy a Founder Edition from another reseller like Gigabit, MSI, etc.?
Is there some specific stuffs to do to configure a SLI in the Area51 R2 or just install it and use the SLI cable?

Thank You!

Dear Alienware Services,

My Area 51 R2 is about 4 years old, came with a Amd R9 370 graphic card. Now i bought a MSI GTX 1080 X Gaming 8Gb graphic card.

Worked fine in game etc. But it had one weird side-effect. It caused the PSU (850W) to get a "coil-whine" ish noise, buzzing for as long as a game was running (except light games like Kerbal Space Program, then it remains silent like outside a game). With a minimal required supply of 500W i doubt it is overloading the PSU. Nothing is overclocked either.

ePSA and system assistance test indicated everything was all right and during the Stresstests it also didnt make noise, only does so when in game like PUBG / WoW etc.

Support did send a technician to replace the PSU. Same result on the new one. I swap it out for my old Amd R9 370 => Buzzing is gone... Sending the MSI back to get my money back for now.

Is this card not compatible for a Area 51 R2? or is there something wrong in the GPU, even when all tests say it has passed. The R9 370 is quite in need for a upgrade and im a bit at a loss which card propely fits with this pc.

Regards

(P.S: i know this is a video of 4 years ago, but i cant get any solid advice anywhere. Best shot is Alienware themselves)

There is a small screw found in between the two panel release levers that needs to come out, or the levers will be locked.

I’ve had my system 3 years and clothe case will not open!

How do I connect a third gpu in the lower slot ? I tried but the card doesn't fit due to the pci power connector that is plugged on the mobo ...I'm really confused !

Would a evea 1080ti dual slot fit in this pc?

What do you mean remove video card covers on 0.36 seconds ? I’m confused those hole for heat dissapation and shouldn’t be covered in the first place 🥇 when your pc is in use . Why u show that ? This video is unacceptable

Looking to add a 2nd and possible third gpu for crypto mining. Going in an Area 51 R2 with GTX 1070 and 850w power supply. Not needing SLI. Will this work say with one or two more 1070's, 1080's, 1060's or a combination of them? I should be able to just pop them in the empty slots, connect the power and be good to go? Windows 10? Thanks!
