Hi all, I’ve been looking to upgrade my 2012 bought Aurora R4 ALX and would appreciate if anyone has any advice or what parts I should be looking for.
Currently it’s all stock (i7-3820, 16gb DDR3 1600mhz) with the exception of the original 560ti GPU replaced with an ASUS 980, and the 5400rpm drive replaced with an SSD. Ideally I’d like to continue using the R4 ALX case but replace the old hardware with something like an i7-10700k and an RTX 3080.
I’m having trouble determining if I can just go out and buy any recent (LGA1200 socket) m-ATX mobo, or if there are specific boards that are recommended for best compatibility with AlienFX? Has anybody done an R4 build recently that can confirm a recent motherboard as working correctly with the case fans/lights? I’m also not sure in regards to liquid coolers, will any AIO cooler work?
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks
