Lian Li PC-A77 mod: Project[Thessa] Dual Loop Madness

[knet370]

Ok..A little introduction if i may..Basically, the goal is to watercool the case all internal without ruining the case's simple and minimalistic design. Yet maintaining a cool and quite system. The system will be overclocked to its highest stable clock(3.4ghz) on stock vcore.

So i present Project[Thessa] < named after my significant other as a tribute for financing this whole project. LOLZ! ;-D

Loop 1: Ek Res 250> MCP655>TC PA120.3> Q6600> NB> SB (EVGA 680i)
Loop 2: Ek Res 150> MCP655> BIX II 240 > 2 x EVGA 8800gts 512mb (Will Be changed later to BIX II 360)

Pics!
Top Mounted PA120.3

Powdercoat done..mounted the res and top rad

tubes will be replaced to a tygon 3400 1/2id 3/4od on compression fittings on the cpu block. the rest of the fitting will be the dangerden fatboyz

That looks really nice, I can't wait to see the final results.

NICE! Wish I could have afforded WC & powder coating for my A70B. Looking forrward to some more pics.

 

[neo1231]

wow that is VERY nice, keep us posted on pics!

 

[Fitseries3]

more pics man. that looks great so far. im looking forward to seeing the loop up and running.

 

[knet370]

just a trial run of the tubes. not yet final. i will be using tygon 3400 black tubes.

nevermind the ghost on the right side of the case. hehehe

 

[Fitseries3]

LOL @ the ghost!

that looks sick man. i'd keep the clear tubing. i like the look of it.

 

[intel igent]

nice build!

have any pix of the front mounted RAD?

 

[Gam'ster]

Nice build looking very tidy and well thought out, It will look sweet with black tubing only seen that once and i liked it a lot. Good luck with the rest of it.

 

[knet370]

nice build!

have any pix of the front mounted RAD?

it is just mounted on the front hardrive cage..simple yet effect. no mods necessary...

thank you for the kind words sir. i will try my best to make it look good. i live in the philippines and watercooling parts are non existent here. i have to order in the us and shipping rates are killing me..

I have faith that it will rival some of TPU's best W/C systems and keep Fit and intel on there toes , Sorry to hear about the shipping but it will be worth it in the end .

some minor tube layout revisions...

 

[knet370]

some sample shots..just trying out how to take good pics coz i suck at it

 

[neo1231]

that is a very clean set up, what psu are you using?

 

[knet370]

pc power and cooling silencer 750

 

[Darknova]

*jaw drops* Wow....I love it. I think you should leave the clear tubing tbh. It looks amazing.

 

[knet370]

ithink this is the best tubing layout for now..

 

[wtf8269]

Let me know how you like that 750w. I had a Turbo-Cool 1200w and it was way too loud for my taste. Are you planning to ghost that DVD drive? Tube layout looks awesome.

 

[knet370]

the silencer is quite. i would've like if they had a 1k watts version. the dvd drive will be covered by a lian li cd rom bezel. the top most 2 bays will house a Alphacool Graphical LCD-Display

 

[wtf8269]

Okay I was hoping you'd be ghosting it lol. It's so easy to do (especially with the Lian Li drive bay covers) that there's basically no reason to do it.

 

[knet370]

bad news..the mobo is dead. the project will be delayed til i get my 780i and a ek nb block for the 780i.

 

[EnergyFX]

knet... this is looking gorgeous! Sorry to hear about the MB. I went through the same thing.

It looks like you are going for maximum coolant flow.

 

[knet370]

got the mobo today. still waiting for the nb block. after that, everything will be completed.
