Aurora - How can I find out what Mobo I have?

[Mattskiii]

Hey all! I've got a 2010 Aurora that I want to see if is SLI compatible. How can I find out what the Mobo is in my Aurora? Thanks!

It will be compatible. Except for the X51 pretty much every Alienware has been SLI compatible. Not sure about the really old ones though.

Not really sure how to check the particular model of the mobo though sorry.

Thanks! I want to replace my old Radeon 5970 with two GTX 760's in SLI. Hope my Aurora MOBO will support! Thanks!

You shouldn't have a problem. You will need to get yourself an SLI bridge though. They usually come with new mobos. Pretty cheap off eBay.

Also, when you get them installed and try to switch on SLI in your NVidia Control Panel, It may say you need to shut down the thermal controller. Just press Control-Alt-Delete, go into Processes and scroll down till you find the Thermal Controller process and end it from there. Disregard any warnings it gives you.
