They have 240 mm liquid cooling. I don't think they offer a specific 'RGB' configuration.

@redxps630​ Thanks. Does this work on the R16? I assume I need to install after since none of the R16s come with it.

redxps630 · Answer

you are right.  It was one of the option for R15 but does not seem to come with standard config of R16.  quite strange.  but if so can certainly get a R15 cryotech LC and swap with R16 stock LC.

Yes I find Dell disingenuous in sales config not to spell out exact LC cooler.  makes me wonder they want to hoodwink unsavvy customers.  it is like buying a new car, if we do not do good research, we are fooled by sales.

I just installed the Corsair h100i LCD liquid cpu cooler on my r16. If works perfectly with the newest bios. Only problem I had was I have a 4080 Super and I didn’t have any 6 pin connectors to power the cpu cooler. I installed a 1350 cpu from the older r15 Alienware and it had extra 8 pin connectors and an extra 4 pin. My computer boots with no errors on startup.
