If my current rig can support Nvidia GTX 590, can I replace my graphic card with a GTX 680/780 without changing anything on my rig?

Not x51, my rig is the aurora r4. Regret buying it, after having this rig taught me a lesson not to buy any rigs from Dell anymore.

My monitor always go into "Power Saving Mode" and then pc restart. When back in windows, tell me that system unexpectedly shutdown bcoz of BSOD. Have to open casing, take out the battery on mobo to do hard reset. Problem will go away for 1-2 months then come back again. Must do hard reset again.

Bought this rig last time bcoz I didn't know how to set up own rig back then. Now I learn the hard way. Will ownself set up rig after this one die completely.

Come to think of it, is your pc alienware x51 or something?

At least you can reuse certain parts, like ODD, CPU, GPU, HDD, Monitor...

It comes with their stock liquid cooler. Not sure what brand but I managed to dig it's size and specs out:

The size of the fan is 120x120x38, 12Vdc, 8" long.
The part number for the Liquid Cooling system in Alienware Aurora R4 is “5560W”.

Are you using a CPU cooler or AIO cooler for your overclocking? Or they giv u the crappy intel stock cooler?


The PSU standard all same size? or can buy any PSU off the market?

all can reuse
change the crappy psu. its most likely the problem .
