Lian Li Q10
Quote from *Tom´s Harware*:
Hands down the PC-Q10 is a premium product. The case itself is constructed almost entirely of brushed aluminum and acrylic, except for a few occasional pieces. Additionally, both the side window and aluminum panels are made out of thick, quality material and everything on the outside of the chassis lines up perfectly.
Since acrylic is very soft and scratches easily, the window panel ships with a lining on both sides to keep it clean and protected during shipping (and during the build). The panel itself is secured to the case using four plastic thumbscrews. In addition to the thumbscrews, the part of the frame that the window attaches to, as well as the case's top/front and left panel all attach to the case via a pushpin style mount, which are easily removed to access the interior of the case. Finally, the PC-Q10 supports the use of a slim, slot-loading optical drive and several water- and air-cooling configurations.
Its dimentions are:
(W) 207mm
(H) 277mm
(D) 335mm
This time around then I opted for more High End System
Mobo: Asus Strix z370i
CPU: i7 8700k
GPU: 1080ti FTW3
PSU: Corsair SF 600
SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 500gb + 1TB WD Black + M.2 960 Evo 500gb
CPU Cooler: Be Quiet Dark Pump + EK XTX 120
Fans: Corsair HD RGB 120 x 2
I first did a Full Air cooled system with the same Dark Rock TF cooler. The thing was that the Corsair PSU was only using the INSIDE the case and expelling it, making the 90mm PSU fan spin ALL the time. This making up ALL of the noise.
I did not take into account that LAST time then I used a Founders Style blower card that expelled all the hot air outside and even though the Dark Rock TF blew hot air around the case - then the exaust fan was enough to keep the case cool.
Also what made things worse was that the 1080ti FTW3 dumps all the hot air inside + that the case is quite small.
SO... I changed the cooler for a custom AIO that I made and temps have been quite decent for a 120mm.
8700k - 5.0 @ 1.34v @ 65c after long long sessions of gaming.
Coming from only water cooled systems then I was not used to the noise but its not all that bad.
I think that I have made quite a good job with the cables as there is next to NO space to hid the cables at the back. In the end I opted to hid them the best I could behind the PSU it self.
Currently I am waiting for the Loque GHOST S1 - and there I will try a water cooled version with the CPU and GPU being cooled by a single 240 rad.
I have been doing testing before and the temps I got were not great by water cooling standards but quite - very quiet.
I leave you with some pics:
