#400C CUSTOM PSU SHROUD HOW TO#

The case I used is an NZXT S340 which two of the fans hook up directly to the power supply via a molex cable. Because of this, I needed to buy a new PSU with longer cables to support the new case While you could use the Dell power supply, the case I used is much larger so the cables don’t have enough length. If you bought any custom fans or coolers, you may swap them too. Motherboard, data drives, CPU w/ cooler are the main parts that are swapped. What are the essential components that are swapped? The Wifi module, while transferrable, is not needed if you plan to use a wired connection. The only downside is that the power button won’t light up and that holding down the button to shut down your system doesn’t work. This will allow you to use the power button that comes with the case. Thanks to ZwoukLeBleu, the optional way is to use the power SWITCH lead that comes with the case and to place them in the 4th and 5th slot starting from the left (skip the first three). This isn’t required (read below) and if needed, you may skip this in favor of getting just the main components.ĭo you need the wifi module and power led connector?

Once all the panels are off, you can grab both the wifi module and the proprietary power LED connector (requires unscrewing for some). This includes taking off the top panel (two pieces), side panels (left side and right side), and optionally the front panel.

The challenges include knowing how to gain access to the hidden departments not documented by Dell. What do you need to know about the case swap? Shoutout to Reddit member ZwoukLeBleu and Imgur user xVELGADx, PM me if you want the link to the source Many components from the R8 are reusable with a few exceptions. For starters, a new case gives you more access to future upgrades such as a better graphics card as well as better airflow. I just wanted to make a forum post on a success story in swapping the Aurora R8 into a new case.
