Can I reuse The alienware x51 r2 motherboard?

CoffeeStoreGuy · May 7, 2017

I'm building a new pc and I'm on a bit of a budget so i'm just reusing parts from a x51 r2. I want to know if I can reuse the motherboard because I can't afford one and I just bought a gpu, psu, case, and cpu cooler please help me. Also take a look at this video to get idea for the motherboard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RQ-IW8fIqs&feature=youtu.be&t=7m45s

It looks like that's a Shark bay (H87/Q87) mini ITX board you have. You can absolutely re-use it as long as it is functional and you plug in a 4th Gen Intel CPU. And a good thing that you got the components and not the motherboard as more than the motherboard, those are required for extra performance.

is there any way I can get more fan headers because there only looks to be one in there or would I have to buy a new motherboard

You cant add extra fan headers on the motherboard itself, but you can add 2-3 pin converters, like splitter below:
