Lian li pc q30

[PaddieMayne]

I thought id post this build here as Tom mentioned the case on his latest video.

Its A Media/Gaming Rig built for my wife by me to go in the lounge with full watercooling..

And the Following Components...

Samsung 256GB SSD 840 PRO SATA 6Gb/s
EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Superclocked 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
ASRock Z77E-ITX Intel Z77 (Socket 1155)
Intel Core i3-3220 3.30GHz (Ivybridge)
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
XSPC RayStorm GPU XSPC RayStorm GPU
XSPC RayStorm CPU WaterBlock (Intel) XSPC RayStorm CPU WaterBlock (Intel)
XSPC Memory WaterBlock + Side Plate Set XSPC Memory WaterBlock + Side Plate Set
Hardware Labs Black ICE Radiator GT Stealth 140 Hardware Labs Black ICE Radiator GT Stealth 140
BitFenix Spectre PWM 140mm Fan Blue LED - Black BitFenix Spectre PWM 140mm Fan Blue LED - Black
450W Silverstone SST-ST45SF-G, Strider PSU, SFX, Modular, 80 PLUS Gold

I was very concerned that a single 140mm rad would not be enough to cool both cpu and gpu but the gpu does not exceed 55c and the cpu does not exceed 52c under load.

All the external workings can not be seen from the front so it still looks nice and tidy in its position in the lounge like below...

Saw one of these cases at iseries and I actually really like it.

Seeing yours watercooled looks good dude

Thanks Tom, the wife loves it and it stands up to the 2 year sons finger print test, there very easy to wipe off.

You should be proud - I'm pretty sure that's the first time ever Tom's said something positive about a system with an externally mounted rad!

I'm really surprised at those temps to be honest!

It does look good though!

 

[PaddieMayne]

I was suprised to but then again its only a 65w cpu and a low end gpu just a normal gtx660 not even the ti version.

Wow, a Lian Li impressive

See Tom, the Li-li's aren't all bad I miss mine

(p.s. could you kindly reduce the size of your sig image a bit please, it's a little tall, perhaps to about 1/2 the height is it now)

looks nice and swoopy. kinda like a room decoration like one of those cool fake fires rather than a pc

 

[failwheeldrive]

Love these little cases. And wow, a cpu and gpu both running off a 140mm rad? I didn't think that was possible while achieving decent temps. Nice build!
