Calling all Lian Li PC-V354B Owners. Need some help in Watercooling

[xxh1tm4nxx]

Hey guys so im about to purchase this casing. Have a SFF build in the works....i was also planning on water cooling my processor and wanted to know if i can fit the XSPC EX240 RAD in the front. The casing does come installed with 2x120mm fans....so i was wondering if it will be possible for this rad to fit in as well. If not can you guys please let me know which rad to go for that would fit? I want a 240 radiator. Thanks in advance.

How about 200mm phobya rad? It is much more powerful than a 240, and shorter.



Problem with 240mm rad is, it is not just the fans, but radiator is taller than two fans, and that part of it would cover that single 5,25'' bay you have in this case.

You can fit a 360 on top or the bottom of the case.no 240 in the front. the bottom requires top mounted fans, the bottom basically requires a mini itx motherboard.

im not gonna be housing a very top end hardware in this case. Its basically gonna be used to stream content in my bed room from my server that is located elsewhere. Since i would only be streaming, i was thinking of putting the ASRock H61-HVGS motherboard paired with a Core i3 2100 Processor. I know that the processor doesnt need WC'ing but im just doing it for the hell of it. So basically having a 240 rad at the bottom or 360 on top wont be required. Im actually now thinking of just using a 120 rad.

120 will fit. give us a few pics when you're done.

Or you can do this:



But tbh, 200mm seems to be best for this case, fits perfectly, no modding, powerful, and you can get away with ONE fan. THis will cool cpu and gpu quite easily, performance is similar to 360 rad. Unless you already own some rads, and you just don't want to buy extra.

where does the psu go ?

You need to improvise, IIRC owner of that case put it above rad (instead of that 120mm fan on rear), his goal was to keep as much space at the front, one drivebay and he used multiple hdds.

I think you can actually fit 2 240 rads in front, one next to the other, maybe you need a bit of mods such as custom holders but it should fit

FYI yes a Phobya 200mm rad will fit perfect in the front intake area.. You can still use a 2 x 120mm fans for it but will have to mod a aluminum plate for it to mount to the radiator, or you can use 4 x 80mm or 92mm fans like pictured on the Phobya 480 radiator..
I just bought this case myself and planning on modding it with the Phobya 480 at the top and the Phobya 200 as the intake rad..

Have you considered the Bitfenix Prodigy case?

It can fit a 240 radiator in the top with no modification required.

Guys, do you think 200mm rad would be enough for cpu and gpu?
Like i5@4GHz and GTX680? I know it wouldn't give perfect temps, but would it be easily enough?

[Edited]

My guess is that is OK. I am going i5 2500K @ 4.2 atm with a 6970 hooked up on a TFC 240, and it works just fine, allways sub 55C.
