    Lian-Li PC-Q25

    minor and probably last update for a while: added a 140mm to 120mm fan converter so that the Corsair H50 radiator and 120mm fans are properly mounted without massive air gaps. Also sandwiched in a really slim fan filter (Silverstone FF143). The fan size converter definitely increased...

    Lian-Li PC-Q25

    But my CPU isn't producing most of the heat, it's my GPU. I think the last thing I want is to blow hot GPU air at my radiator. My top fan is actually quite effective as an exhaust. I think this is a more effective configuration given the case design. There is simply no other logical way I can...

    Lian-Li PC-Q25

    Yes, I know it isn't ideal, but the front grills on the side of the case are not designed to exhaust and it's the only location where you can intake on the case, and where you can put a radiator if you want one. I still think my CPU and setup runs cooler with this config than it would without...

    Lian-Li PC-Q25

    I never understood the popularity of black metal cases. They are just all around less attractive to me - more noticeable finger prints, dust, not to mention that the metal is not naturally black. But to each their own. Mobo is Gigabyte GA-H67N-USB3-B3 and cpu is i7-2600K. As far as the ACX...

    Lian-Li PC-Q25

    More pics: You can see the front push/pull radiator set up is held together by zip-ties and supported by rubber vibration grommets. Not the cleanest, but I worked with what I had and it's very silent. I need to get an air filter in front of that otherwise the radiator will likely...

    Lian-Li PC-Q25

    made a few modest improvements to the build. mainly just set up the radiator in push pull with some SP120s and finally slotted the case fan exhaust at the top in. Temps are looking much better now, especially for the video card at load.

    How many hdd or ssd? There is a website where you can put components in and it tells you what the ideal PSU wattage should be. Don't know the link offhand but should be easy to google.

    Lian-Li PC-Q25

    Once I removed the HDD cage this case is so roomy compared to my previous PC-Q11 build! Lots of room for the water cooler, which was insanely tight to cram into the Q11. The only downside to this build is that there are only 2 fan headers on my motherboard (both need to be used for the cpu...

    New Lian Li PC- Q11 itx case : Specification & Feature

    This was explored/resolved earlier in the thread - a bit easy to have missed though. Look at post #598 for some closure, lol. It's not going to fit, unless you want to void your warranty and shave/cut some of the metal casing down, then it probably will.

    New Lian Li PC- Q11 itx case : Specification & Feature

    Yup, it was quite the squeeze! I followed Tweakzz very thorough post (on pg 19 of this thread) showing how to get an H50 to fit with a non modular psu. It wasn't too bad once I planned out the right sequence to put it all together. My 570 is getting some pretty high temps when gaming to be...

    New Lian Li PC- Q11 itx case : Specification & Feature

    A few somewhat banal pics of my set up I've been meaning to post. Not really helpful I know. I didn't do the greatest documentation when building it unfortunately.

    New Lian Li PC- Q11 itx case : Specification & Feature

    Really nice! So much open space it's unbelievable. What kind of temps are you getting in there? Also, good choice with the Zotac 560ti amp. I'd definitly like to see how it looks from behind.

    New Lian Li PC- Q11 itx case : Specification & Feature

    Well, I was kind of being serious about filing down the twin frozr III metal case. It looks as though the actual card itself is probably the 243mm that MSI says, it's just the metal cover that goes a bit beyond that dimension. If you had a Dremel or equivalent then maybe you could.. But alas, if...

    New Lian Li PC- Q11 itx case : Specification & Feature

    That's pretty similar to mine actually. I don't see any major issues other than you may want to consider a cpu cooler - the 2600k may be fine with the stock one given the extra airflow you'll have with the smaller psu? Also, 50 or so more dollars to get a 570 which is a pretty decent jump in...

    New Lian Li PC- Q11 itx case : Specification & Feature

    I'd be interested to see if it actually fits. I have seen some pics and it looks more like 10" (254mm) and not 243mm (9.6"). Take a look at the measured one on this forum: http://www.overclock.net/nvidia/989946-msi-gtx-570-twin-frozr-iii.html Might be a squeeze! maybe need to file down some of...

    New Lian Li PC- Q11 itx case : Specification & Feature

    ... I actually have to agree 100%. I love the case, but the buttons have always bothered me. Would have been nice if they were a subtle white light and not red and blue as well imo. I have not changed them but I'd love to see if someone has.

    New Lian Li PC- Q11 itx case : Specification & Feature

    I have an EVGA GTX 570 HD in mine as well as a HDD and SSD below the video card (drives side by side on the drive bays and not on top of one another). I get idle temps on the 570 at about 40-45 degrees. On full load, the highest I've seen it at is about 88-90 degrees after a few hours of intense...

    New Lian Li PC- Q11 itx case : Specification & Feature

    I used a gigabyte H67N mobo and actually cut off the middle power LED header myself. I used an OLFA blade to do the cutting. The end ones are the necessary plugs so I just cut out the middle and plugged them on the board - didn't tape or glue them together even.

    Same here! Pics please. That might not be a bad idea for a future mod. My gpu temps get quite high when stressed - high 80s!

    New Lian Li PC- Q11 itx case : Specification & Feature

    My pc-q11a case came with an adapter for those internal usb cables. The adapter has 2 female USB ports to a 7 or 9 pin or whatever output that attaches to your motherboard. I know, it seems a bit odd though. Why wouldn't they just make this a cable that plus directly into the motherboard. The...

    New Lian Li PC- Q11 itx case : Specification & Feature

    How are GPU temps for everyone? My GTX570 HD is running idle at about 40-45 degrees and under stress at about 88 degrees ( after 30 minutes or so playing Witcher 2 with almost everything maxed)! I should tweak the fan speeds but it starts getting pretty loud sitting beside me. The H50 makes sure...

    New Lian Li PC- Q11 itx case : Specification & Feature

    I have used the Gigabyte H67N in my Q11 build. A few people have noted on this thread that it has recieved somepoor reviews, but all of the reviews I have found of it seem quite positive. Could you point me in the direction of those reviews you speak of?

    New Lian Li PC- Q11 itx case : Specification & Feature

    So browsing another forum, I came across someone with the exact same issue, down to every detail, posted about a year ago. I messaged him and he promptly replied saying it turned out to be the connection of his video card to the pci-e port. I opened up my case and saw that the video card was...

    New Lian Li PC- Q11 itx case : Specification & Feature

    Yeah and it still loses video signal in bios! I thought it didn't before but I guess I didn't wait long enough. Took about 5 minutes to happen, though time it happens is pretty random. bah.. I guess I'll open it up and tinker a bit. I'll check all the power connections, though I don't know if...

    New Lian Li PC- Q11 itx case : Specification & Feature

    So I ended up putting the thing together.. I went with a corsair TX650W instead for the PSU. It was quite a pain seeing how this was really my first PC build ever, but I managed. It was frustrating at times though.. The case barely shuts and the EVGA GTX570HD BARELY fit in the case. with the...

    New Lian Li PC- Q11 itx case : Specification & Feature

    Oh CRAP! I'm an idiot.. bad PSU choice.. should not have gone modular.. don't know what I was thinking - now it won't fit with the H50. Looks like I should go Corsair TX650W?

    New Lian Li PC- Q11 itx case : Specification & Feature

    I have been reading this thread pretty thoroughly (at least I hope so!) as I have been eying the Q11 for a while. Finally bought one but it is taking forever to ship (got the silver one so it's shipping from Taiwan). I have in the meantime bought the components and would like to hear what...
