Man! Love the Lian-Li V series casings! Very classy and inverted ATX!

[Embrace]

now this would be an awesome build.. the black compliments the red themed watercooled system you have going =X

[Philip]

MCR220 is here...

BTW, what are the chances of having a brand new leaking rad?

rather low I suppose?

[Philip]

It sure is tight to install 3 rads inside a mid tower ATX casing. Going to stick to Asus Rampage II Gene M-ATX M/B to make space.


Prob 1: Rad too high, blocking the primary PCI-E slot!! Read the Asus user manual and mentioned reduced performance if I use the secondary slot. Can anyone confirm pls?


Prob 2: Not enough clearance. First top two 5.25" bays cannot be used for ODDs.


Prob 3: Same clearance issue, but this time routing the tubing down to the BI GTS120 at the front/lower compartment.

Simulation test. Flow rate is quite respectable even for 3 x W/Bs + 3 x rads + 2 x 90deg elbows. Can see the bubbles flowing pretty fast inside the loop.

At least 8 layers of RJ Silver Red without any clear coat.


Matches the Black Ice Ferrari red nicely.

Corsair HX850 on the way, too.

Philip, black tubes would match your system perfectly, unless of course you are using red coolant

Would have loved to see red or black fans though.

Very nice looking build.

Thanks.

Using Feser One UV red just like my Ah Lian Act 1.

All rads will be using pinkish Noctua NF-P12. Don't think I'm going to mod them for now.
