I need 2 parts to fix my R3, Having issues finding them.

Ok so, My lovely lovely R3 was involved in an accident, And i must repair her, She must liiiiive on, I have found a new mobo and that is on it's way, However i still need the following

The 6pin to 6pin power cable that goes from the mobo to the on button, One of the wires is severed and i cannot fix it, AS such i require a new cable, or cable + switch

Slot load bluray drive.


Now i would like help also tracking down a GTX 770m and m17x r3 compatible cooling bracket/fansink for it.

Please NBR, You are my only hope in finding that must need 6pin cable.

Doesnt have the parts i need.. Replying with a link isn't very helpful.

 

Call alienware tech support and speak to them and take pictures of the parts you need, they may ask for the pictures and they can give you part numbers of what to buy.

 

For the heatsink the normal 580m one should be compatible I think, Nvidia heatsinks are the same as ATI from what I know, the xbracket is different between the companies. Try calling dell for one, they actually give decent prices for a heatsink. 770m best to get from ebay, a clevo/sager one should be compatible.

6 pin cable might be worth asking dell too, only some parts (ram hdd, graphics cards) are expensive the heatsinks and maybe others may be a reasonable price (heatsink around less than £30 i think)

The 580m one is compatible indeed.

Thanks man, Got the drive and cable on it's way here, You guys are awesome, Now if I could find a cheap 770m, Don't care if refurb or used, That'd be awesome (cheap as in pref 300ish or less, but can go 350 Australian)

 

If you wanna go higher, I might be able to sort out a 780m for you. I am in Melb

 

780M sounds lovely.
