grr so whats the huge difference between the 1200 and 1000, only the length??? I am some tempted to throw down some for my rig...

Correct, the 1200 series is roughly 4 inches deeper/longer then the 1000 series. This gives the chassis a much roomier feel, but also gives the buyer eATX support in a midtower case. Previously the fulltower 2000 series cases were the main option for an eATX case based on Lian-Li's most recent design, but the 1200's give you the same flexibility in a slightly smaller package.

[aburgard]

There an easier way to do this? There wasn't any way getting my finger nails around it.

Hmm, I could have sworn I almost had my LiLi case badge removed via my finger nails and decided to leave it on, can't remember using anything else.

I agree...that's why I ended up leaving mine on.

haha, thx for the drama though, i needed a good laugh. :p

is there a removable tray for this Lian Li PC-V1200B Aluminum Tower Case

No.

I know they're nice to have...but I can't see why you'd actually NEED one in the 1000/2000 series cases, they look very spacious.

[chinked|out]

No.

dammit. it sucks to not have a removable motherboard trays. which lianli cases have removable motherboard trays?

[aburgard]

Yeah, I decided to leave mine on too.

[dnottis]

Not quite done yet, Directron forgot to ship the mounting hardware for the Maze4 so it's in the loop but not attached till Monday. It killed me to cut the V2000 but with the notch cut on the tray divider from the top to the bottom of the case I can remove the whole water cooling system intact! Any problems and I can remove the whole system in about 10 minutes, still connected. Made bleeding the system outside the case so much easier for a water n00b.

Wow, that is one hell of a sexy gaming rig. Why arn't you water cooling? Those parts deserve the best cooling and overclocking you can provide.

[dworley]

I had enough of water cooling to last me for a while.....besides this setup is extremely quiet for an air-cooled rig! :D

Damn thats weird that you post that now, considering my case just got back from the powdercoaters :) I got the idea from your old case :P

i'm interested to hear how it turns out fit wise as well... i powdercoated my Sonota just over 2 years ago, and really don't want to give that up when i do my new build in the v2000b i have comming... it's just something so subtle that not many people realize untill the take a REALLY close look at it beside my gf's sonota at a lan...

my experience with my Sonota was just like cornelious'... everything was tighter than... well.. ya... it was tight when i put it back together... HD rack was the hardest because they got a shot of powder as well...

but man... sure did look good all glossy black in and out... :( too bad it's too small...

Yeah I find it quieter to go air cooling nowadays. Just as good.

lone gunman, do you have any internal shots of the system or at least the specs? I was looking at the 800 awhile ago, I was pretty sure I had it worked out so that most hardware I was looking at would fit, but it'd be nice to see an actual system setup in one of those.

I didn't see any actual internet pics of the case, just a few angle shots of the chassis itself. If you could take the top panel off and give me a look inside I'd appreciate it, I haven't seen a system assembled in one of these things in quite awhile and I'm curious to see how yours turned out/what hardware you managed to squeeze in there.

[Mcklain]

Here is my new Lian-Li v1100 B Plus wich I received yesterday.

I wanted ot build a silent pc and I must tell you that I am impressed with the quietness and cooling of this case. I coupled this a Liberty 620 wich is inaudible. (notice the reflection of the sleeving with the flash of my camera, makes the sleeving white!!)

Oh and for all the myth surrounding a a8n-32 about the chipset being not compatible with reverse cases is completly false. I benched my machine for the last 2 weeks on top of my motherboard box without any case and with dual prime without any active cooling(blower fan) on the chipset I was getting 44c. Now inside the case and being upside down the chipset is under 38 full load.

That case is so pimp. I wish I'd gone with the Lian-Li v1100B in stead of the v1000B. I'm running 2 undervolted 120mm fans and a WC setup and it's still WAY louder than I care for.

Mcklain, what HSF are you using on your CPU and what videocard/cooler is that? Looks pretty pimp.

[the lone gunman]

dude you didnt make a mistake with the v1000B case, its still an awsome case ...very unique :D

I just ordered 2 Nexus fans and a Nexus PSW. It's finding a way to silence that water pump that'll be a problem.

Very nice bro. I personally would never touch that mobo, as it has one of the stupidest layouts I've ever seen, but that's just personal preference. What irks me about it is that if you want to make use of both of its 16x slots for SLI you have to sandwhich your PCI card(s) between the two video cards, or try and use the one available PCI slot at the bottom of the board. This one design "flaw" (as I see it) is what has helped me turn many people away from that board and towards the SLI-DR Expert.

Sorry, off topic...but nice setup indeed. :cool:

Nice AC setup you're sportin' there Shoggy, but the wiring could use quite a bit of work. ;)

I dont know, His wire job looks effective as hell. No mods to the PSU (great for later resale) And everythign item in his case has one poweplug in it. (note there is no daisy chaining)

Looks clean on the parts you see and even orginized on thre back of the mobo tray.. messy but orginized.. I like it.

After six months in storage, I finally put together my rig last night:


With KO SLI, five low speed case fans, passive PSU and a Coolermaster LED fan on a TT Big Typhoon, this thing is impressively quiet. Cable routing (I love the reflex cable):

I really like the vented front on the lian-li. Is it louder with those than the solid fronts?

[c1001]

I really like the vented front on the lian-li. Is it louder with those than the solid fronts?

More noise and more dust. But they do run cooler because ventilation is better. If you run a quieter/ lower speed fan, the noise is less.

I have a P180 with a passive CPU cooler and I run Nexus fans. My Lian Li V1000 is just as quiet running Coolermaster fans at 600-1000rpm, and this is with SLI 780gtx KO cards.

[aburgard]

What have you done with your video card, or is that passive also? I have 2 Nexus fans, and another on my headsink. The CPU fan and CASE_1 fan are motherboard controlled and the other is on a 7V fan extension. Right now I keep the fan on my GeForce 6800 unhooked because it's so bloody loud. My Zalman VF700-CU from Newegg should be here tomorrow. We'll see how that goes. It's a pain hooking up the fan every time I want to play a game.

I even dropped the case on one of them Nexus Drive-A-Way HDD enclosures (I was in a spending mood). Makes the HDD near silent but there's no front fan on top in the V1000 so its temps aren't as low as they could be.

http://mendek.invokation.net/IMAGES/COMPUTER/athlon64_s.JPG

What do I do with those extra molex connectors on the Nexus fans?

I'm considering moving the HDD enclosure into the bottom compartment but I'm not sure how to hold it down yet. I'm thinking the 4 rubber feet that came with the case plus zip ties throught he bottom grating. Ideas?

[Hexus0]

Hey I have a question for all you V1200 owners, is there a window that you can buy for tthe v1200 like the one that comes with the v1000 (See here (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=280&products_id=1925) ) or would that panel work with the v1200?

Heh, I would hope he's not running his 7800GTX KO's passively...can't say they'd really last too long. Nice thing is that the coolers on those KO cards are actually very nice, so there isn't usually a HUGE reason to swap them out for something else.

I know that they're not the hottest running cards in the world, but I'm surprised that you haven't run into any issues with that card being passively cooled. The VF700 should serve you well...they're not loud at all (especially in comparison to the tiny fan on that 6800) and cool very well. There's actually a great number of people I've seen running the same cooler on their X1800XT's with fairly nice results...so you should be good to go.

I am running 7800gtx SLI with an Antec Phantom 500w completely PASSIVE. The video cards themselves have the stock fan/cooler on them.The 7800gtx stock fan is quieter than the one that came on my 6800gt. Quiet enough that I haven't considered throwing on an aftermarket cooler.

I once forgot to connect the fan power plug to my VF-700Cu on a 6800gt for several days and it ran fine (didn't do any heavy gaming). Almost had a heat attack, but the card is fine.

I have used a similar HDD holder. If you unscrew the exisiting HDD rack in the bottom you can attach rubber/silicone/neoprene strips and secure it pretty easily. If you don't kick your case around you don't even have to tie them down. They are pretty heavy and won't want to budge.

Can't you unplug the molex connectors on the Nexus and use the 3 pin mobo connector?

[cornelious0_0]

Can't you unplug the molex connectors on the Nexus and use the 3 pin mobo connector?

Agreed, I'd go as far as to cut the 4pin connection right off for wiring purposes if you're not worried about having to redo the wiring job or sell the fans.

That's me though, I chopped a bunch of lines off my 520W OCZ Powerstream to clean up wiring, cus that was more important to me at the time than selling the thing.

[aburgard]

Thanks for the help.

I do notice a small sqeak in the VF700-CU fan at 5v but it's definately more quiet than the stock cooler. The highest reading I've seen on the 6800 is about 52*C now. Still not as quiet as it could have been. I don't see why they don't have fan control on this card.

you can run it at 5v or 12v.

[aburgard]

You can run it at 12 volt. 12 volt is too loud.

[cornelious0_0]

you can run it at 5v or 12v.

Heh, thought so. :p

You can run it at 12 volt. 12 volt is too loud.

That's relative though...in my last watercooling setup I had a 120x38mm Delta. At 12v that fan would push about 230cfm, and even on 7v it was well over 100cfm...noisewise most people would deem it too loud to use, but some people (myself included) just have a higher tolerance when it comes to fan noise.

A bit off topic people, lets have some more pics. :D

Any inverted case. PC-V1000.

Alright, but what do you mean you can't heatpipe for nothin?

I've seen multiple people using different kinds of heatpipe coolers both on their processors and graphics cards, and they work fine...don't really get what you mean.

[aburgard]

My CPU HSF is heat piped and that works fine, but I don't think video card heatpipes will work because the heat spreader would be on the bottom of the card. Vapor would be trapped up top where the GPU is and the liquid portion would be in the bottom with the heat spreader. I asked Thermalright about their V1-Ultra they said it wouldn't work in an inverted case. Motherboards with heatpipes that aren't straight across would be the same way being they rely on gravity as well.

Edit:

I just saw word from ASUS. Nope, it's not going to work:
"With the card being upside down it wont be able to disperse the heat away from the card properly that way and can cause the card to overheat and can damage it."

Your ram really shouldn't need that, definately not.

[cornelious0_0]

Your ram really shouldn't need that, definately not.

I agree completely, at those timings you couldn't be pumping much voltage into those sticks, even for 280MHz...you could probly ditch the fan bro, things'd look a lot nicer for sure.

It kind of looks like where Voodoo puts an extra 120mm to cool RAM in their extravagant Voodoo Omen pc's...

You think you could make that second pic any larger? With how washed out it is I can't exactly tell what the pic is of. ;)

[aldy402]

I agree completely, at those timings you couldn't be pumping much voltage into those sticks, even for 280MHz...you could probly ditch the fan bro, things'd look a lot nicer for sure.


lol thanks cornelious. I want to get rid of the fan real bad but because im running BALLISTIX, im sure you know how it is. Until I can get another 2gb set that can do in excess of 280, im gonna stick with it for now.

What voltage are you actually running through them? I've heard all kinds of stories about Ballistix memory...but the point still stands that if you're not clearing 3.0vdimm I really don't think you need that fan. Granted it's not the same stuff, but I previously had a pair of OCZ PC4000 EL doing 278MHz 1:1 2.5-4-3-5 with 2.9v or so. I can't imagine you'd be putting a lot more voltage into your ram then I was, and my OCZ did perfectly well without any extra cooling, and didn't benefit from it either when I tried.

im only running them on 2.8 but if its not actively cooled, they will die within a month
im already on my 4th RMA, i love them to death but they BURNNN. Once i get my hands on some CRONUS ram, im selling them and then off with the 120mm fan

Hey all you guys with V1200's (plus) How long are your SATA and IDE cables?? HDD, and Optical Drive. (also....can you still close the case if you dont have a right angled sata cable or do you need the 90degree ones?) I have 2 IDE Drives, 2 Sata HDD, and 1 Sata DVDWriter
What would you guys recommend for lengths on all the drives? I'll be routing and hiding cables, so the longer the better; im just wondering what all you guys are using?

I have a PC-V1000, but the cases are pretty much the same, yours will just be taller. I used an 18" IDE cable, su you'll want 24" cables to reach the bottom of the HDD rack if need be, same for SATA cables. You don't need 90 degree SATA cables, there's plenty of room on the door side for your connectors, power connectors, etc. If you want to mount your HDDs backwards to make it look good, the molex connector is still longer than a SATA connector, so you still don't need 90 degree connections.

[TheSandman2236]

alright thanks aburgard; i was curious cause the way the mobo is mounted; i was worried about the location of the sata ports. The IDE's arent that big of problem, but with the sata im sure it would be hassle. 24inches is enough? Have any pictures of how you have yours routed? thanks man! ::mounting from the rear, the rear panel off::

I have a question for the V1000 owners, is the floppy drive bezel removeable - for example if I wanted to install a 3.5" internal card reader in the converter instead?

[TheSandman2236]

I was curious...do any of you guys have a v1000 and v1200? 'both' So you can stand them side by side and show the size differences? Performance-pcs.com has them both at the same exact price pretty much. I was curious if anyone had both so i could see a side-by-side comparison...Or what do you guys recommend?? v1000...or v1200(Plus)?

Yeah I got my PC-7B from them as well. Excellent service, they even informed me that the 120mm blowhole mod I ordered wouldn't fit and helped me find a solution. They put in a Radgrill and now mine has 3 120's for ventilation :cool: I need to get a window for mine soon, I didn't want one when I first got it but the insides are just too good looking to ignore.

Well I've never thought of using it like that before since it comes out grey when you spray it. It rubs off then? I might have to try this and get that 'like new' finish back on my pc-7.

[cornelious0_0]

I think I'd end up making use of Latex gloves instead. Weather I went with the autobody gloss black/clear coat paint job or the powder coat, both of them are gonna show fingerprints like mad...so I'll have to do something.

Some nice suggestions here, just need some more pics now. ;)

It'll make your Lian-li shine like new. Just rub it down good afterward so it isn't oily.

Seriously, I don't think aircooling gets any better than what I have here... with the fan controller I can run everything at full when I'm gaming or it's a hot day, or I can make it dead silent. The only thing you can hear is a tiny hum from the idle noise of the hard drive, and that's only if you're really close to it.

Installation was pretty easy for the most part. Hardest thing was unscrewing the front bezel off to get an optical drive in there, and doing that was barely a chore. A little awkward to get my screwdrivers in it.
Easiest power supply install ever, thats for sure! As far as cooling, the fans it came with are a little weak and fairly noisy for their CFM. I'll be replacing them soon. The rear fan is on but i cant even feel the airflow on either side.

Well, even though things seem fairly straight forward...I still think that the PC-777 carries with it one of the most ridiculous looking chassis designs I've ever seen. Kudos to Lian-Li for sticking their necks out and making something different, but I think there might be a reason as to why you don't see many of these things around. I know I'd never own one for one main reason, the wiring would be horrid in that case, no matter how talented you were...and that alone is more than enough to turn me away from a case.

[robberbaron]

One thing I like about the case is that it's so outlandish that anyone that sees it has to have an opinion of it. I have it at my work, a computer store, and about 20 people saw it. I'd say about 70% of the people that saw it loved it, and the other 30% hated it. It's just a great case that way. Plus the air flow iis pretty good. Not the best I'm sure, but its definately enough to chill my opteron 165 and 7900gtx under full load.

Other than that, it looks good. I love what you did with the cold cathodes, that looks sweet. If it were me, I'd put them back a little bit farther away from the front so you can still get the cool glow, but you can't see the tubes themselves. Does that make any sense? I don't know.

NICE!!! (soon to add some hawt pix w/ my V900's added on my cards!

[I(illa Bee]

that really nice and all, but it seems all the water cooler Lain-lis look the same no?

[Ìzi rÀjDeR]

[cornelious0_0]

Nice pics you guys...I'm lovin' the LiLi shots here lately.

It looks like the next time I post a pic of a Lian-Li case of my own it's gonna be with the case sitting ontop of a bada$$ single-stage phase change system that's being built for the system in my sig. I can't wait...it's gonna be so nice. This way the X850XT-PE will have it's own h2O loop, so it'll be quite interesting.

Thx for all the pics ideas guys, keep 'em comin. :D

oks system specs are in my sig, list of mods are: i cut a window, used a chunk of the side panel i cut to cover the drive bay and hold my newegg sticker and case badges(no flames I like them) covered 99% of the visable silver parts with black sounddeading foam left the mirror like PCI covers oon to reflect the lighting effects, cant really hide the modstreams cables so im showing them off with full UV lighting(all effecting the UV parts of the board) covered my mis matched IDE cables with yellow split wire covering ill cover the front sound cable with black split wire cover and try to find some UV reactive covering for the front USB, fan(added a fan to my drivebays, added a dual 4" light kit one is housed on top of the case the other in teh bottem of the drive bays, added a dual 12" UV kit one is housed ot the top of the case the other next to the mobo both kits can be turned on and off via the red switches you will see the the 3.5 cover-waste of space pos that souldnt cusre the fron of any case let alone a v1000b, oh ya i have a shitty cam so heres the semi shitty pics i have:

tyty i thought about alot of different colors but went with white cause i thought it would be the best for the case and a really good contrast from the black out effect ive managed to pull off(case, mobo, vid card, sound deading) and to the UV lights. im really happy with the overall lightning effects

The tight-fitting heatsink!

holy crap no kidding and thats a damn nice looking case, thou it looks like it to has the useless floppy cover :(

ty for the good comment too, i didnt expect the white cathodes to turn out as well as they have, but all the forums ive spamed... err posted these pics on have loved them

only reason i got them is because i couldnt find purple 4" ones anywhere, blue is so over played it aint funny, red didnt fit my style this time around and ive never liked how the green ones look *shrug* tis rather funny how some things turn out aint it

yeah man...but it turned out fairly well for you. it's still not quite my taste...but if you like it then that's what most important.

Argg...the more I think about what I wanna do in terms of cooling with my upcoming system, the more and more I'm starting to seriously consider a V1000...never thought I'd say that...but it's the truth. :)

What phone is that aldy402? The pics aren't even that bad, and are a fair bit nicer than a lot of shots that I've seen with "real" digital cameras. The placement of the UV ccfl's and the UV reactive fan itself are too gaudy for me, but it's all person preference. The ccfl's to highlight the boards components very nicely...and it still looks nice. Good stuff. :)

[cornelious0_0]

I hope the PC-61 had a good run...I loved my first two I had. :p

Don't worry about the hardware...personally...I'd much rather have a very nicely modded/wired case with mediocre hardware inside then a more up-to-date machine in a crappy case that wasn't modded one bit.

[oakfox]

I'm order the PC-S80 and attempting to make a top end silent rig.. will post pics when it happens :)

[cornelious0_0]

I'll look forward to it, it's a unique case and hopefully it does have some nice potential.

[HRslammR]

i'm so annoyed with lian-li. well, lemme clarify that, i love lian-li, but i just wish they'd make a case that's got everything finally. it seems like they've gotten closer with the s80, but imo, they could do some more. i honestly think they got extremely close with the pc61, but were only a few changes from being (imho) the first "uber case"

example: the dual 120mm intake are AWESOME. they're not slightly seperated like in the v1000 example (http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/productimage/11-112-086-08.JPG) with the 120mm only really cooling the harddrives. here's a good pic for what i mean what i like in the s80: example of the awesome intake (http://www.boxgods.com/global/images/articles/A195-14.jpg) adding to that, the 120mm exhaust is also, AWESOME. so glad to finally see a case maker say "gg floppy drives"

except, i'm not a huge fan of that particular layout for the harddrives, i'm always still incredibly partial to the way that the pc61 did it. simply and effective. example of the pc61 harddrive layout (http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/productimage/11-112-025-29.JPG)

adding to that, why don't more cases have removable motherboard trays? it sort of seems like once you get a case with a removable tray, why ever go to something different

now maybe this all just makes sense in my head, but would this not be a kick ass case?
-2x 120mm intakes,
-1x 120mm exhaust,
-removable motherboard tray,
-removable hard drive holder (which i'm sure they could further design to be quieter), -elegantly clean edges and smooth sides (go go brushed aluminum),
-WTX for increased cooling,
-removable front (aka pc61)
-lots of room for people that like to water-cool.
-no floppy!

in theory all the hot air that would be generated (but not already moved out by the CPU fan) would float to the top (aka video cards, but i know i'd get some artic cooling fans so it'd be exhausted out) , and be moved out by the PSU (or roof fan, whatever) not to mention, no floppy!

or maybe i'm just a wild-brained geek.

[cornelious0_0]

No, you're not crazy...it sux that there's a compilation of cases that would make up the perfect Lian-Li...ah well.

[noobtech]

I hate my V1000 case... it rattles and vibrates like crazy!! Everything is tight.. but the sliders that lock the side panels in place vibrate from the hard drive spinning or the fans. Doh!

when is a lian-li rep gonna contact me about this brilliant idea, throw a gazillion bucks at me since it's now technically copyrighted (hehe suckers) so i don't sell it to their competition? :(

[aburgard]

I think the PC-V1100B plusII would be the perfect case if the mobo wasn't inverted. Heat pipes just aren't made for inverted chasis, and heat pipes are the epitome of quiet operation! Doesn't make any sense! Any heat pipe mobo + Thermalright High Rise or XP-120, and V1-Ultra makes for an ultra silent computer.

I love my V1000, but that inverted thing is more annoying than good.

I personally don't care for it much at all either...and it's the one main thing keeping me more in favor of the older PC-60 and PC-70 style chassis'.

[thomas_markle]

looks good

[cornelious0_0]

I can't wait to have the cash to grab a new case.

The "body" for my single stage phase change system is gonna be built to match the base dimmensions of a PC-70 perfectly. I wanna pickup a PC-7077 and go to town modding the thing. There's so much I know I could do with such a monster of a case...and think of how massive it'll look sitting ontop of the phase change case...another 6-8" of height added to the nearly 2' tall Lian-Li. :D

[phoderpants]

Here's the inside:

The computer was actually on when I took this. The fans were spinning.

[cornelious0_0]

Not bad man, but you could have easily run the case headers along the back side of the case and stuffed them under the mobo or something...and some of that cable slack just makes it look lazy. ;) :p

Don't worry about explaining the fan thing...anyone with a decent digicam knows how it works...I thought it was pretty cool when I took similar pics myself.

[TheSandman2236]

Alright...i fixed my cable problem...sorta? The PSU as UBER long cables..i couldnt do much with them; im sorry. But heres was i did a few nights ago!!

I've had that problem with the rattling side panel too; all you need to do is stick on a couple squares of duct tape between the holes where the door hooks slide in, that should offer enough padding to quiet the side down.

what do you guys think?

Can you tell me which way you have the coolant flowing in teh last picture there?

It looks to me that you have the outlet of the water pump going to a 'Y' fitting then in to the RBX water block... if so... that is completely wrong... the center single fitting on the RBX is the inlet, the 2 outer ones are the outlets.

If that is actually coming back to the pump... then you are pumping in to the reservoir first? well... definitely not the way I would be putting it together... my reason is... those fill caps on acrylic reservoirs are horribly prone to leaking... and if you are pumping *in* to the reservoir... it will be somewhat under pressure, compared to sucking out of it, and will be completely filled and could push coolant past that seal on the fill cap and start to leak... I, and most people's systems I have ever seen, draw coolant from the reservoir and then pump to either a water block or the rad first - not that it really affects the cooling at all, although a lot of people seem to think it does.

but it is one heck of a nice looking system... great job on it!!! Love the case and looks of everything... and I am sure it is a real powerhouse.

I can't wait for my V1000 so I can slap my peltier system in to it.

i gotta get a resistor added to the leds. i think they have been disallowing me from entering deep sleep. heh, so i been VERY tired for like all of 2006. but once i move the radiator fans over to the aquaero, and the psu fan, i should be able to turn the knobs off at night for sleep/idle mode where the inside case fans wont need to be on.

still is the best manual fan controller out there! you wont regret the purchase

[aburgard]

I took some model paint and painted the LEDs down to tiny pin prick lights. They stopped lighting up the room then. The black paint looked like it belonged there.

If that is actually coming back to the pump... then you are pumping in to the reservoir first? well... definitely not the way I would be putting it together... my reason is... those fill caps on acrylic reservoirs are horribly prone to leaking... and if you are pumping *in* to the reservoir... it will be somewhat under pressure, compared to sucking out of it, and will be completely filled and could push coolant past that seal on the fill cap and start to leak... I, and most people's systems I have ever seen, draw coolant from the reservoir and then pump to either a water block or the rad first - not that it really affects the cooling at all, although a lot of people seem to think it does.

but it is one heck of a nice looking system... great job on it!!! Love the case and looks of everything... and I am sure it is a real powerhouse.

I can't wait for my V1000 so I can slap my peltier system in to it.

No... the water comes form the tank to the pump and then to the CPU to the VGA to and etc.

[NortHWizarD]

then you are definitely using that RBX block WAY wrong then.

you have a 'Y' fitting at teh outlet of the water pump... splitting into 2 lines... and then those 2 lines are flowing *in to* the outlets of the RBX water block... you are supposed to have the coolant flowing in to the center nozzle/inelt - underneath that barbed fitting is a nozzle for directing the coolant flow - and depending on which nozzle you have in there, it can be like the storm... so... you really should switch that and fix it... make it right... I am betting you will see a nice difference in temps... that block was designed specifically to only flow one way... and that is *in through the center fitting and out through the 2 outer fittings*

if the picture is correct, and you say that you are sucking from the res and pushing out to the CPU block... then is is for sure installed 100% wrong.

this is copied right from the pdf on Danger Den's site for installing the Danger Den RBX Water Block...

4. The center fitting is the water inlet. Attach the water inlet tubing to the barb. Use a hose clamp to secure it.
5. The outer fittings are the water outlets. Use an appropriate length of hose (~ 6 inches or 15cm) and attach to the included “Y” fitting. This “Y” fitting is used to convert the outlet streams back to one line.

that should clear it up... and I would bet you get better temps with the water flowing the correct way, since they were designed specifically to perform with water coming through the center inlet and spraying directly over top if the CPU die.

Thx for clearing that up...as I couldn't remember 100% myself. :)

cornelious lets see your pc; im curious to see what yours looks like! XD Is yours watercooled?

Honeslty, the system in my sig isn't here yet...it's being sent to me as a gift from a good friend here at [H] and he's waiting on his buddy to send him the memory.

Until that hardware gets here I'm still running a pathetic 1800+ AXP...so don't worry about any pics. :p

EDIT: It will be watercooled...but only for the X850XT-PE...there's gonna be a phase change unit running to keep the 560es nice and chilly. ;) With the space and ability to devote a watercooling loop solely to the video card...I'm thinking about saving up to drop the cash on a Meanwell PSU and a nice size Pelt to slap on the X850XT-PE...it may be an older card, but if I was able to get 'er up around 800MHz on the GPU it'd still be turnin some heads. :)

[FullMetal]

Upgraded from my smaller LL case to the bigger one. Have 2 Raptor drives and a storage drive in the bottom. Replaced fans with blue fans....and upgraded to the new CPU fan and a second video card. LL is still my fav case :) I still need to add the case handles but have been busy at work :(

I tried to keep my wires under control, used a SATA DVD drive to have less "big" cables....

And I must say...the 4 sticks of Corsair Pro do look really cool side by side...might increase temps a bit...but I bet it's slick when they all start workin'. :)

TY I had to order those long Sata cables too :) When I made it I realized that .. um, there is no way that the standard cables were going to reach all the way to the bottom of the case....the long cables are cool anyways, they are sleeved black in stead of those red or orange ones :)

EDIT: as far as heat - no issues, this is on 24/7 and I game alot. When not working....but nah those ram sticks are not having any trouble. The new MSI MB is much nicer too, having the heat pipes ect. Only thing to really get hot is the bottom video card, but solved that issue by putting in a fan to blow directly onto the video cards......

Nice stuff....those'd also come in handy for my next Lian-Li project...where'd you get the black/sleeved SATA cables from? I don't need long ones...it's gonna be another PC-60 style chassis...but the red cables always seemed a little gawdy to me.

[scrawnypaleguy]

Slick man, VERY nice... is that black electrical tape? I love that stuff!

I never thought like that before...but once you realise how much black electrical tape can do you good...it's hard to say no. ;)

[FullMetal]

I got the SATA cables from Voyermods.com

Everything else from New Egg :)

The cables are wrapped in cable sleeving from the local automotive store. Not tape - it is plastic.

tho...have used tape before :) but this plastic sleeve stuff is cheap and looks good IMO.

Well that's good to know that the heat pipes work upside down in the LL cases. I was worried about that myself. Care to provide temps?

I'd also be interested in seeing some temps with the heatpipes on the inverted motherboard...as there have been countless people stating that it will or won't work at all.

actually its ballistix, which i like better cuz they are FAR less bulky than the corsairs. ALSO, electrical tape and platic loom REALLY can help where heatshrink cant work, like the end off your ATX power cable for instance.
and lastly, a VERY good place for long cables like SATA and new fans is performance-pcs.com simply cuz you choose whatever sleeving and heatshrink combination you want. FOR ANYTHING.

I thank you for your help. BUT.. at first i did what you have told me. I then swiched it to this way and my pump now flows in the correct direction. Believe me man... it fooled me. I even tested it like this and the water flows the right path.

mine is special :l

What are/were your before and after temps before and after switching it around...still seems strange to me.

Sorry for not commenting before el rolio, but nice setup...I'm lovin' the Aquario...got a writeup of your build/watercooling loop anywhere on [H]?

Hello all, I've decided to lose my [H]ard virginity. How better to do so than with my first Lian Li build. It's not as exciting as some of the amazing work I've seen on here, but it gets the job done for me. It is still not functional as you can tell be the absense of a video card, I haven't decided on whether to go the single 7900gtx route or see whats up with crossfire, I will probably go with a single 7900gtx.

What are the 2 40mm blue fans for?

[spint3]

This was my first water cooled build and i was concerned about the voltage caps and regulators around the cpu socket. They hover over the board and direct a little air flow, I'm sure the rear mount 120 would do just fine, but i thought it was kinda neat.

why not go with a single x1900xt?

yeah.. another reason why i still have no card. that may be the best option, allowing me to go crossfire in the future. hmmm...
