I finaly got my pictures off my camera.
This is a LianLi 343B Cube with the 9x120 Magicool 1080 RAD, this is the 18 front bay, 9+7=16 fans total. I have 2 HDD 5 1/4 bay fan modules, had 2 just fan modules, only using one. Right side has all my pumps, PSU and wires. Side windows and lights on both sides, though the right side is a mess still. The Mobo side, left side, has, well, computer components!
Its bigger then I thought it was going to be, thats the only thing and the price I paid! I have big hands and fat stubby fingers so I need the room to play, and I do alot of switching parts so all this space helps me.
I like the RAD, It runs very low temps and my 3 pumps have very high flow rates. I only run the 950gph pump during gaming or overclocking. Its loud, well it has a buzz to it. Plus I dont get that much decrease at Idle with it on, it lowers my load temps up to 5c.
I bypass the loop right before the CPU with a swiftech F fittins, these lines go to the Flex ram, then to the F fitting right before the SB back into the main loop. 1/3rd of the water entering the SB and GPUS is cooler water from the Ramm, instead of it normaly going through the CPU NB then SB and GPUs. Anyhow due to all that I get great temps on my 3870s too! I have Mcw60s on them in Crossfire right now. Im awaiting my EK full blocks, but for now they run 32-33c idle and 38-40c load! At 836 core/1352 Mem.(2.7Ghz) CF Enabled!
Cpu has an Apogee GTX and I run 19-21c Idle/26-32c load, all these are Bios and SG temps. Its at 32c Idle/46c load in Core temp. CPU at 3600mhz (400x9). NB I changed to an Sapphire Block, I get 34c/46c load, SB I have an EK that fit, SB wasnt an issue, NB was hard to find the one that fit right! I took off the Volt reg block, it really didnt need it, and that cut the heat down in the loop! I al;so have cleaned up the tubes a bit, not so bulky around the GPUs. Ill get nUpdated pics soon.
Anyhow, two things I would have done diffrent: #1 Taken pictures from opening the Box till today, now Im done, I have no record of what it looked like while I built it!! #2 Painted the inside a gloss black, have to strip it down to the bone to do it now, no way!
All in all, I spent way too much, well thats my wife telling me every dam day of my life " you spent too much"! An it was bigger then I thought! Yet this is my masterpiece build, I havent spent this much time and effort ever! I researched about this case and the H2O modds for months and looked for all the right parts over a 3 month time line! I normaly throw a rig together so fast its a mess and takes a full overhaul to manage all the cables and make it nice.
This was a nice slow build that I threw my blood, sweat and fun into, but thats what its all about right??
