Case Mod - In Progress Dual Loop Phase Cooled Lian Li By RetroGamer1990 - **UPDATE 04/02/2010 Video**

Have only just looked back at this since it was still on 1 page. It is looking great. Will keep an eye on this to see how it goes.

Good work

 

hey,
pathetic micro update so i wont bother changing the main title today....

I've been onto Duniek (im sure most of you know him, if you dont he's the guy that makes custom waterblocks) about a NB/Chipset/Mosfet waterblock for the board, as it seems unlikely that any retail ones will be made. To do this i had to remove the stock heatsinks and take some pics so he could gauge how to do it, so heres some naked board pr0n.... and i replaced the stock thermal paste with some MX-2, dropped nb heatsink temps about 5 degrees

Also thinking about the front, What do we reckon to this? 2 Alphacool displays, the custom fan controller and a Drive Bezel, and four Lian Li intake thingys. all white obv. opinions please I know its a poor photoshop but im in a rush!


Phase cooler complete, just gotta pay tomorrow and wait for it to be shipped praying to all the Gods i can think of that it fits the case without too much modding! I have a backup plan if it dosent.

 

I like your front panel idea, looks very clean.

 

the screens are right..

cool..

Oh man, phase is awesome.

That LiLi case is absolutely gorgeous as well, white exterior and powder coated black interior... Mmm...

Definitely go for the 2 displays and grilled bays, that is a classy look.

 

thanks guys. looking at that hypnotoad is making me want to get 2 screens....all hail hypnotoad.....

 

Looking good... i'm obviously a big fan of the case

 

upgraded to 6gb of hyperX just waiting on shipping of unit...cant wait! and I reckon it will fit no problem looking at it a little more

 

okay I got one of the alphacool LCD's to try out. I only got one becuase they are pretty expensive and I didnt want to buy them just to figure out they were garbage. (however they really are not!) they look excellent and are really easy to set up. plus the front fascia comes off easy so i can mod it.
anyways, I have done a video to demonstrate how I have set it up - Its on a retro theme. The audio was supposed to be Can't Stop By RHCP but they have disabled it

enjoy! EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vVil51fUYg

p.s still waiting on the slovenian postman to arrive with the phase unit

 

just watched the vid how did you set it up to show the temp and stability

 

Hey guys, just a quick status update on the project. and a couple of plans:

Natwest are muppets so they didnt send my payment to LittleDevil so there are further delays there >: ( So i have to go re-do it.

I'm going to send the motherboard to Duniek (he has his own CNC setup) so he can fit it with custom waterblocks I'd do it myself and send him the measurements but I dont want to screw up, and he says if he gets it he can maybe do a full cover block

I'm going to be replacing all the fans with black and white Fractal Design fans from QuietPC.


and @ LT BEECH: There are everest plugins for the temperature, and I cheated and just set up a screen that said "system stable" for that bit

 

Sending the mobo away for custom blocks ey, sounds really sweet dude.

I dont have my camera ATM, but I'll show you the photos LittleDevil Sent me of the unit
