Hello,
I purchased a dead Alienware Aurora ALX with the intention of using the case and all its fancy extras (lighting, active venting, ect) in my own build.
What I didnt realize is that there is what appears to be two boards in the typical Alienware Aurora ALX setup. One is obviously the Micro ATX motherboard and the other is a smaller board that appears to be used for all the extras.
Does anyone have any experience upgrading a system like this? I have the following motherboard for the new build.
ASUS Maximus V Gene LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
I am concerned that this other (smaller board) wont work with my new Asus motherboard and therefor non of the extras will either.
I would be greatful for any help. Also I am far from an expert on computers so pretend like your talking to a noob.
