Would this fan work with the alienware x51 case?

I own this Zalman cooler and I'm using it in a Silverstone ML05 mini itx case belive it or not. I had to remove the top multi-bracket from that case because it was a tiny bit too tall but that is such a small case to begin with that if and it fits in there it then will fit just about everywhere else. This newer version of Zalman cooler even has side grooves to accommodate ram with basic heatsinks on them. None of the fancy inch high RAM heatsinks though like corsair dominator or anything like that. The coolers only overhangs into the first RAM slot. Its pretty amazing how big it is yet able to fit nicely even in a super low profile case like the ML05. I swapped my Zalman fan out for an earlier model Zalman cooler fan so I could have the blue led on mine. I was surprised that at how easy it was to do. In short I would say yes it will fit. Its big but small in all the right places and is pretty short height wise. It is also an awesomely effective cooler. Mounting can be tricky just be sure to think it through and put the RAM in before mounting it.

According to the Alienware x51 wiki page it is a confirmed fit, so i bought it because of that. It works great. It is considerably louder than the stock unit, but its also twice as big. Everything Nova said it not true. Its a perfect fit and took maybe 5 minutes to install.

Sorry for the delay in response. So my local Best Buy didn't have a demo of the Alienware X51. I'm going strictly by Web images. I think the Zalman is too high for the case. There maybe a slim chance it will fit if the stock CPU fan shroud can be removed. This guy on youtube seems to have modded his X51. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zd0rx-p0p7I Link is for his first video. Good Luck. Hope this was helpful.

Noooooooo, maybe if the side panel was exposed. This things height would be nearly the height of the x51 case if it was sitting flat. Its not super tall, but it is wide. Wide enough that I had to take empty out the nearest RAM slot closest to the CPU just to install it. I have a Thermaltake A30, and it doesn't fit with the Power Supply directly above the CPU. There was about half an inch of a gap I couldn't clear. I ended up punching out a window on the side and got a Corsair H60 instead.

Correct me if I am wrong - Xeon Quad Core needs Socket 775 - This particular Fan/heatsink is for Socket 1155. It will not fit.

Yes. I have the big Alienware laptop. I use this inside of a more substantial case.

Not 100 % but it should, I'm using mine on a 6x ECC RAM slots. So thats 6 slots wide and about 1 inch height, and I still have another inch of available space between the top of the RAM to the bottom of the cooling fan unit. Therefor you should be ok. NOTE: This unit fits over each RAMS retention tabs which my need a little modification (bending the units sides a little for for better holding/gripping power). Overall, I am very happy with this buy it keeps my hot running RAM mods cool. I am considering purchasing 1 or 2 more for other computers I have.

It appears so. On the newegg website for the case (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119240) there is a specifications tab, it says that the front fan is a 200 mm, so the fan is compatible.

I'm using this on a Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4 with 16GB of RipJaw X, and it fits fine. They sit under the fan with no issue. I know this question is a bit old, but just as a FYI.

It works great in my Antech 300 case. Make sure you measure from the back of the case into the case to make sure you have room. Its a thick fan/radiator/fan setup. Mine is freakin awesome on 8 core AMD and playing MW3 or Blackops2...with no noise. The AMD fan sounded like a jet taking off when It would spin up from the CPU getting hot.

Yes. It will. I have had awhile and my computer is 19 diagonal x 17.5 there is nothing to stop the Alienware laptop u r asking about from working fine on this. I bought awhile back and is still working great. It's very quiet as well!

Unfortunately I am not able to answer your question. I bought the fan for my grandson's X-Box and it did not fit.

I'm sorry, but I don't have the knowledge on your existing fan model to see if it will work. You may want to contact the vendor SupplyEdge. Take care

Should work fine. The horizontal fans in my various cases haven't had issues.

Yup, it should work fine. So long as it is the same size, should be 120mm. Might double check though. If you check out the picture, you can put any fan on there so long as it's the same size. It just holds on with the little metal brackets.

Yes, but you should not use a CPU fan connection. Use one of the other motherboard fan connections. There are usually three of these available to power case fans. Piggyback if you run out.

It should, especially if you do not mount a side fan. The case has a particularly wide clearance because its side panels flare out. It probably has more clearance than most.I installed a Hyper 212 EVO in one.

I have a Cooler Master 200 mm fan in the top of the case. The COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO is 6.25 inches tall the Fan is about an inch deep. Its about 6.75 inches from motherboard to case roof. It might work and its worth a try as the fan really cools everything.

I would think so. I don't remember where I put this on mine but I use various versions of this fan for all the fans in my computer. Should work just fine.

In most cases that I have seen they are fairly universal. I would think the board would fit as well as the video card. I would also recommend using the 120 mm fan and pull the air out of the case.
