Looking for Aurora R7 cpu fan replacement

I am also curious about a replacement. I haven't had my R7 very long but I am noticing my CPU is usually in the 65-75*C range and the CPU fan will spin upwards of 2000 RPM once its near 70*C. So it is basically almost always spinning at 2000 RPM, which is when it get very noticeable sound wise.

I have updated all the drivers and what not, but it doesn't seem to help. #This machine has to be one of the loudest I have ever owned. Not sure if this is normal or what, but definitely not a quiet machine at all. 

I think it's a travesty that they can go out and sell an air cooled cpu knowing full well of the sound problems that it emits when under load. Like jeesus this is beyond loud. My cpu stays in that range if I haven't restarted in several days. But when I restart and not a lot of functions in the background then it doesn't usually crack 60C. I've talked to tech a few times and they keep telling me that this is normal and I'm like uh no it isn't, unless you're deaf. Either way support has been absolutely not helpful in any way. Worst part is I tried asking for a liquid cooler for purchase and they tell me that they don't sell it as a part. So your only options are return it or buy a liquid cooled cpu.

you can buy the liquid coolers directly off of dell';s website so i can't i imagine they'd tell you they don't sell them...

look into Cryorig C7, may or may not work, small investment candidate part

This should be the liquid cooler, also known as MH0HN as a spare part

That'd be nice if they actually shipped it outside of the US for people not living in the USA. I have no idea why they would limit selling that to just America.

Do you think a NH-L9x65 will fit into a R7?

Alternatively I was thinking also the NH-L9i, which is like the Cryorig C7 size wise.

You have to be creative in finding a way to measure what distance you have between the motherboard socket and the power supply when it is fully closed, then pick a heatsink that could reasonably fit in that space. Next, find the TDP of your CPU & buy a cooler rated up to that TDP (example, 65watt TDP CPU needs cooler rated for 65w or higher)(a 91w TDP CPU should not pair to 65w heatsink etc)

CPU specs are found online, wikipedia for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_Lake#List_of_Coffee_Lake_processors

***measure the heatsink / fan combo you have now, then define the remaining distance to the PSU when it's closed > add together & that is the approximate size cooler you can add (minus a few millimeters)

***slim Noctua cooler not rated for 91w / 95w K processors
