R12 supported processors: R12 tech specs    All technical data is in that document.     
Hello, I have an Alienware Aurora R12 and was wondering about what CPU's I could use with it. I don't really understand how they work or the internals of computers yet. But anyways, the reason I want a new CPU is because of my switch to water cooling, and a new graphics card. Specifically  this one. But the CPU I was wondering would work was This . I did some research to no luck so sorry for asking you guys. I will be using thermal paste. If you have any better ideas or recommendation for a CPU, I will gladly listen as I am trying to get the best one for me budget. (No where over 400 since I'm broke). Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. Here are my specs: Ram:  32 gigs (4 slots x 8 gigs) Graphics card: RTX 3080 TI PSU: 850 watts (Fully modular) CPU: 11th Gen Intel Core i5 11400F (6-Core, 12MB Cache, 2.6Ghz to 4.4GHz)   If you have any questions, I will be answering.
Aurora R12, what CPU's are compatible?
