CPU GPU Secondary Fan Kit for Alienware M18

This new three-fan kit replaces the main CPU cooler, the main GPU cooler and the secondary small fan in Dell Alienware M18 R1 2023 and M18 R2 2024 laptops. Each unit is a direct-current 12 V or 5 V part with a 4-pin wire-to-board connector that attaches to the existing heatsink. The pack also includes three tubes of thermal grease for installation.

Suits owners confirming exact part numbers before

Buyers who cannot match their laptop's current fans to the listed part numbers NS8CC25-22F22, NS8CC26-22F23 or NS55C15-22F26 should look elsewhere. The M18 series uses multiple fan variants and this kit covers only the specific main and secondary models identified by those codes.

4-pin 4-wire power connector

Every fan in the kit uses a 4-pin 4-wire wire-to-board connection, so the laptop motherboard must provide matching headers. If the original fans use a different pin count or connector style, this kit will not fit.

Questions about this item

How often should I replace the thermal grease on the CPU and GPU fans?

The kit includes three thermal grease packets for the initial install; plan to re-paste the CPU and GPU fans every 12 to 18 months under heavy gaming loads.

Which fan reaches its airflow limit first during extended gaming?

The secondary small fan moves only 4.60 CFM at 5 V, so it saturates well before the 17.46 CFM CPU fan or 17.59 CFM GPU fan.

How loud and hot does the 4-pin fan kit get when the laptop runs all day?

All three fans draw 0.5 A — CPU and GPU at 12 V, small fan at 5 V — so total power stays modest and noise scales with the laptop’s own fan curve.
