Wanted to build my first WC rig and wanted it all in one case so I turned to one of my Aussie friends (olnorton) to help with design. Desided on the Lian Li 343. Here it is without skin and I am adding fans.
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/p...2189/PC004.jpg Put in the Alphacool repack at the top, drives and the Lian Li 4HD rack..Just waiting for GTX 360 http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/p...2189/PC007.jpg The Lian Li 343B is a roomy devil. Just put in the P6T7 and Livingstone CPU Block. OLNorton was spot on with his design. http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/p...2189/PC011.jpg Put the GTX 360 in. As you can see the 343b has plenty of room for the 360 and more rads if needed in the future..It also has a great railing system for the drives and filter covers.. http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/p...2189/PC023.jpg Put the tygon lines in..My first time at this..I have been a TRUE guy forever..Norton had to get me to shorten them up several times... http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/p...2189/PC026.jpg Got the coolermaster fluid going..... http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/p...2189/PC028.jpg Didn't have the Lian Li filter covers at first so just hooked up the fans right to the rad.. http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/p...de2189/005.jpg |
Looking good buddy but :picmonster: is hungry for mor pics :D
edit- oops spoke too soon |
Put in Feser shrouds and changed to the sunbeam extreme 30 watt per fan controller.
I love the case and temps dropped big.. about 4-6 idle and more on load...I can run 3d03 and 05 at 4.625 now.. Never could before...Still have trouble getting over 4.500-4.525 running 3d06 but that is probably me....I just started OCing a year ago and have aways to go..... Hope you enjoy the build as much as i did.... http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/p...de2189/007.jpg |
Thanks Kal!! It was a fun labor of love..Sorry about my spelling.. I am bad.. Wish we had spell check....:blush:
|
Nice build, Buddy.
Now I want to see it with quad 4890's in there. |
:picmonster: is happy :D
Those cube builds are always a treat and all that room in there is insane. Nice work buddy, now crank up the overclocks and rip past 32k 3d06!!! :happy1: |
I really came close but you will see it with 3 5870's or 2 5870x2's..Should be anyday now..Thanks Goat!!!!
|
Ahhh. Then it's a race to have the first 5870 Quad-Fire rig. Gane On !!
|
question, what normally goes there where the rad is?
Anyhow, great job at your first WC experience :D |
The 343b has 18 5.25 bays. 9 on each side...Lian Li makes 120mm fan holders that take up 3 bays and extra HD holders with fan that take up 3 bays...It comes with 18 Blanks...I took one blank as you can see on the right bottom and drilled out the holes and put the fan controls for the coolermaster 110cfm fans in it so i could control them. They are on the rad.
A 360 (3 x 120 fan rad fits perfect on either side)....Or you can use your imagination. Lian Li sells all kinds of stuff for those 18 Blanks:Hi: |

Your Welcome..Heres the link
http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=20821 Performance PC is one of the better case and WC parts places...They have a large inventory of alot of stuff you won't find on the Egg although i do shop there alot... |
Forgot to mention, Lian Li is pricey as you can see but i think there stuff is almost worth it....I see you have a CPU WC now..If you run a 240 lets say that would take 6 blanks which would leave 3 for a 120mm fan and filter for more intake air...same goes for a single 120 rad..That would leave 6 blanks,,,,It is a cool design that you can work with...The 9 blanks on each side was a great design..

No Problem....Keep that site..They have been around along time...I see alot of people are using this case with 2 240 rads..One on each side..Which leaves 6 blanks for drives or whatever..This is probably a cool idea if you want to WC CPU, GPU...
The top is also a place for another 240 if you need it.... At one time when I first saw it Frozen CPU had it modded out with 3 rads... take care..Good luck on the MB... |

I don't see how CP...The case is pretty much built around the 360 height...Then again, I could be wrong. What are you cooling with the 480?
I had been using Silverstone for a few years...Just went to this when i decided to venture into WCing.. |

Looks like you have a nice rig man!!! I run 3.9 24/7 mostly because I can do anything or play anything at that speed...Probably could go lower with the I7..They are amazing!!! What do you run 24/7 and what kind of temps ..idle and load???
Also do you have a hydro version MB??? I live in Florida as i think you do..We need the cooling here...Thats why I built the Lian Li.... |

BTW, temps at 4.2 GHz idle are mid 30's, load is mid 60's. |
Clearwater, That is really good cpu voltage....I can stay pretty low until i bench and get around 4.5 Then it wants the juice.. hence is where the Lian Li came in.....
Good Luck with the new loop.... |

Look at the Ellet utility, CPUz is wrong, it detects only the clock at boot up. As far as my new loop, it'll remain the same. Only I switching from Barbs to Compression fittings and putting some quick disconnects for when I have to take the PC outside for dusting. http://forums.techpowerup.com/showpo...postcount=2016 |
Finished LED Lights
Finished putting in the LED lights in the repack and each feser shroud..Can't see the LEDs in front of the 360gtx through the camera's eye but they look cool if your into that sort of thing.

I have 2 English Bulldogs...If i get ready to bench they both stand in front of it even those late nights and wait for it to move..They know something is up if i turn the fans up and sit right there...:scared:
