[Project] LL v1000+2 WC - Overclock.net

This probably won't be much of a log because I plan (key word) on getting her done this weekend (hopefully.. knock on wood and all that). I waited a good long time to get all my components in and will start some system tests tomorrow. Leak testing now.

Here's the grocery list:

Swiftech MCP355 3.2 (18w)
XSPC reservoir top
Thermochill PA120.2
D-Tek Fuzion v2
D-Tek GFX 2
4-YL 88cfm fans (push/pull)
Tygon hoses
D-Tek high flow fittings
Pentosin G11 and PT nuke

Hardware (sig)...

Phenom x4 9950
ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe 790FX/SB750
VisionTek HD 4870
LG Blu-Ray Opt.
500 and 640 WD AAKS
mushkin XP Ascent 1066 (4GB)

...All in a V1000 plus II Lian Li. I really like the case but it's very limited for WC configurations. That's why I had to go with a 120.2 radiator. Just couldn't fit anything bigger and keep it internal. I know the biggest gripe is going to be that I'm running a AMD quad that I plan to OC AND have a 4870 in the same loop with that rad. I'm hoping the massive amount of air I will be pushing will help. I figure even with the overclock, I'm in the 350watts/heat area. I remember reading something Martin wrote about a 120mm of a good radiator should be able to dissipate 180W of heat with a good fan. I guess I will be putting that theory to the test. Like I said. I would love to use a 3x120mm radiator but just can't without ditching my stealthy goals.

Will be going out for the night so hopefully I will be able to update tomorrow as I get her going... Here are some early snapshots of the leak testing. The lazy mutts are my two weenie dogs (father and son). About the only thing they are good for is sitting on my lap and any laps that come over, barking at the mailman and doing tricks for cookies (dog biscuits). Gotta love em though.

whoo! that ddc3.2 looks nice with clear fluid! and nice dogs!

Nice to see more internally water cooled Lian Li's. Make sure you check the Lian Li thread in my sig and post the finished pics

where do you plan on putting that rad? you could check out my valkyrie build log to do something similar with your rad. you would actually have more room that i did.

thr33niL · 09-13-08

Actually with the v1000 I have less room to work with. From what I understand the v1200 is a stretched version of the 1000. A 360 rad is about as long as my entire case give or take a 1/2" or so. So an internal 360 was pretty much out of the question.

That is one hell of a log you did. Nice job on that!

Mine is going to be more simplistic. Probably will get started here soon after I back some stuff up. I should be posting up plenty of pictures then.

Will do for sure. I plan on making it a clean, stealthy type build. No massive amounts of LEDs or anything like that. I have a couple CC UV lights on hand that I am debating on using. Couldn't hurt to toggle them in I guess.

I started with no lights in my V2000, but had a couple of AC Ryan 12" cathodes lying around that I stuck in....lasted all of a week before I grew tired of them and got rid of them.

lol.. even though i have lights in my rig, they are usually off. kind of kills the point of the 2 way mirror acrylic.

and thanks for the comment th33nil!

Here are some more pictures. Most of my planning, figuring and cutting is out of the way. Just have to wait for my dremel to recharge before I clean things up a little more.

A shot of most of my components.
