Looking good I can see that you went for the trippel radiator in the bottom instead of the doubble. Have you test fittited it yet? I am currently workning on installing watercooling in my own Lian Li v1200 plus, and my doubble radiator fits, but I can not seem to fit a bigger one. But none the less the modd looks great and I just migth steel your idear about putting mesh in front of the buttom radiator. Best regards Stubkier
The triple will fit but it will be very tight. the psu will also have to go out the back a litle I think.
Ok, it is also pretty easy to that in the v1200, due to the way the psu is mountet. Looking forward to some more updates.
Excellant job your doing there. Those cuts are fantastic, but I'm not digging the grill you have used. The perforated front are the barbecue grill just dont look right, there is no flow and I think you should try to find some perforated steel or aluminium so that it has a similar diameter to the front.
Hmmm thanks for your input. If I can find something locally I might give it a shot. The only place I can find it at wants 20 bucks for it which is way to expensive.
UPDATE: I finished the res mounting so here are some pics. Test Fitting Useing the mounts for marking the cuts Mounting holes drilled Lines drawn Rough cut with a dremel After some filing From the backside. Frontside Mounted From the inside The progress shot with the window. another shot
Wow - So thats why your having a case window on the other side aswell!!! What did you use to file the cuts with to get the perfect circles - just the dremel? Anyway - keep on going, can't wait till next update!! Edit: Did you have the hard drive in when you did the cuts - but unsafe if you did, i'd check if its still working.
I started the rough filing with a dremel cutoff disk and a steady hand. I sanded up to the line. Then I slapped on one of the plates and finished filing by hand. (It did ruin the one plate I used) Also the HD is a spare/dead HD already. My real HD is safely tucked in my ther case.
If you put two reserviors into one watercooling loop, it would hamper on the flow rates and temps, and in the first post he said it will have two loops. I wouldn't recommend two reserviors in one loop although it is possible, it may render the watercooling useless. Hope that helps.
A single res will only hamper performance if the pumps are unequal or the res simply can't feed them. I'm looking at feeding two loops off one res, but I'm also going with a low-flow system. With something like that, a lot of the normal problems get negated and different, more interesting configurations become available. Back to the thread, it's a little early, but it looks interesting...
The color them of HG:L (The game) is Black, Red, and Blue. I was thinking red for the internals, Black for the case, and Blue for the reserviors. But nothing is final. ILL HAVE AN UPDATE ON LIGHTING LATER TODAY> oops caps lol>
I'm running two seperate loops like Oldy mentioned. One for the video card and one for the cpu. Yes I could use one res but I think two looks better and it also means that I can fill and bleed the cpu and the gpu seperately if say I got a new socket motherboard or a new rention styled videocard. Another reason for useing to reserviors is the fact that after a period of time the temperature of the water equalizes to a certan temp. This temp is based on the load and unfortunately heats up the coolest chip in the loop while somewhat dropping the temps of the hottest chip. If I were to have a 226w pelt and an 80w pelt it would raise the temps of my gpu even though it has it's own radiator. Another reason yet is that th res is very small and even on one pump, on an even more restricive system, there were bubbles in the loop. I have a feeling they will cease when useing a system with all of the same barb sizes but It still needed to be considered.
MCP350's the problem is that the pumps are waaaay powerful. In fact I have no doubt in my mind that one pump could run both radiators and both blocks out of one res without any problem at all......but 2 pumps is more badass.
Look at a pair of DD MAG2 LEs. Smaller,slightly less powerful, but far less likely to do stuff like outrun your reservoirs. And they're easier to place.
You'll see soon that in my case it's easier with the MCP350's. Plus I'm mounting the barbs differently too.
