Lian-Li WC Case Mod - Install New Hardware! *PICS*

[OverclockTHIS!]

I'm currently running a Koolance EXOS 2 Dual 120mm, Aluminum Radi. attached to a Black Aluminum Lian-Li case w/ DD blocks and I wanted to do some switching up :D ..

I wanted to basically take out the current WC setup (Res, pump, Radi. etc.) and replace it with something more efficient (I know WC kits are NOT the way to go) but would generally fill the area..

It seems easy to remove..just some major bolts which shouldn't be difficult..

What could I put in it's place?..Price no issue :clap:

Although most kits are terrible, Petra's kits (http://www.petrastechshop.com/wacoki.html) are top of the line and use brand name parts. Have a look see.

That's a V1000 case. They're not easy to fit rads inside.
You can put a rad outside at the rear, in a side panel or extending out the top.
How interested in modding the top are you?
Its possible to fit a Swiftech rad in the exos lid.
Once you sort the rad placement the other components are easy.

I was planning on totally removing the current Exos system and starting from scratch just using the excisting left empty space.

I can put the Raditor anywhere..the back or the top, the Top is my best bet now I think w/ a Thermochill 120.2..I'm thinkin the Res. in a Bay possibly if not screwed into the bottom shelf

I'll be reduing all the tubing to make it more efficient..i'm still deciding on what Pump and Res. and Fans to go with though :confused:

PA120.2 + 25mm fans is 85mm thick + the gasket if you use it and a grill if you want one. There's about 15mm above the motherboard. So its either blocking off the board slots or standing proud of the case by a fair bit.
Pretty much your choice what you think looks good.
I'd probably put a pair of fans and a grill in to fill the hole left by theexos and hang the rad off the back, but thats just my taste fwiw.
A bay res works ok with these. I use t-lines and no res, but again its up to you. Its really only pumps and blocks where things start getting to be tight choices.
D5 vario for reliability, DDC3.2 for compact placement and performance. Really only those two.

fans cheap Petra's Yate Loon SMs are always good vertical orientation...
horizontal orientation, try some SFlex-F...

Good advice... :up:

Awesome advice..I was thinkin the Rad was gonna be big for the case..So I don't mind it standing higher than my case I'm willing to do some adjusting..

If i can fit the Rad. to the back without blocking the slots I will do so and add some fans/grill to the top where the Exos went

No specific UV Dye..it's the coolant pack that came with the Exos
