Bloody - Lian Li V2120X Liquid Cooling by pociej

Hey!

Today I want to start share my work on LC build in Lian Li V2120X which I started around 1,5 year ago...
Earlier it was simple build but with time I start to want more...

So, let's start quick journey through previous revisions and what's goin' on now...

Picasa album (all photos):

Revision 3 gallery:
https://picasaweb.google.com/1034304...eat=directlink
https://picasaweb.google.com/1034304...eat=directlink









And now is time for revision 4!!

My obsession of quiet forced me to modernize LC system to keep low temps after OC Core i7 and GTX580 under heavy load, quietly of course.​Thus born idea for new revision.
Revision of system which should cool Core i7 and SLI, which should look nice and clean.

Project and parts list is ready, all parts are on the way to me.
Part of it is already delivered.

I know you like pictures so no more talking...

Hardware:
Intel Core i7 2600K @4,7Ghz
Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z
Corsair Dominator GT 16GB 2133mhz
2x EVGA GeForce GTX 680+ 4GB Backplate
OCZ Vertex 2 180GB
Samsung HD103SJ
4x ST2000DL003 in Lian Li EX-503
Seasonic Platinum SS-1000XP
Lian Li PC-V2120X
Dell AW2310 & nVidia 3D Vision

LC parts:
EK-Supreme HF
EK-FB ASUS Max4 Extreme
Bitspower Galaxy Freezer DIMM4
2x Koolance VID-NX680
MO-RA3 4x180 LT
2x Swiftech MCP35X
Koolance TNK-200 Reservoir
Bitspower Black Matt Fittings
Koolance Quick Disconnects
Aquaero 5 XT + Poweradjust 2












And the best part:

Subbed too... nice.

Funny, one part peaked my curiosity - the articulating Koolance fitting.

It's external radiator.
But later I will think about case for it or how to mount it to current PC case...

Hey!

The work began.

Came rest of parts, cables (except a few powering ones) so there is no reason to wait ...

Among other things,



Until then I started with one GPU,





and installation of a new reservoir in the housing.
Photos of this soon, because I have to drill through the midplate ... :]

What did you used to coat the bridge with? It looks fantastic.


Great work so far... looking forward to the completed product.
