Lian-Li PC-V354 Project Log

[Ced-G60]

Thanks for you comments and update Chris, but I would rather like to keep this on topic, which is my worklog.

Maybe you can just put your photo as link ?

Ced-G60, do you not have the same issue as I do with the fan wires?

Anyway regardless, great build. Really clean and neat.

Sorry, I forgot about your question

The front fan cable do seem little short for a proper cable management on the back fan controller yes.

I personally don't have this problem as I made custom length cables for all my fan

Nice Worklog!

One question, how do you fix the Scythe Himuro HD Cooler at the bottom?

I used the supplied rubber side mounting, I fixed them under the same way.

Why are you posting your pictures in someone else's work log? Very uncool.

Also, why would you put paper over your heatsink, you do realize this is detrimental to it's performance.

I do realize that but I feel my configuration with this case may yield best results. Sharing this sheds light on many others who are encountering temperature related issues. In regards to the paper over the heatsink. I wouldn't have done it if it would have yielded poor results. In a suction only configuration, it is ideal. I saw a 10C load drop from a bare heatsink, again in a suction configuration.

Thanks,

I got my cables from PPCS. and the ATX plug's from MDPC-X. I just make my cable to the size I want to crimp.

[Johnny87au]

So its just as easy as that , you dont need 2 specific cables ??? I've sleeved heaps of rigs before but never crimped and made my own cables, Really want to do so for my future rig that way i have the ultimate cable management MESS FREE..

[Crazy V]

Very nice work so far!!! I am currently building a rig using this same case and love it.

[Ced-G60]

Been awhile since I posted some news, but didn't have much else to show.

Today, I received my fan sticker. Hope you like it !





Will need to wait till next week till get my powder-coating parts back...

[Ced-G60]

Did a couple more fan. Am going to remove the front sticker on the fan, I think it look weird after all.

Crazy V got it right

For the red sleeve it's Color-X yes. The blue is the news B-magic.

[Crazy V]

LOL, Very nice work can't wait for the finished product!!!

[lowfat]

Crazy V got it right

For the red sleeve it's Color-X yes. The blue is the news B-magic.

That B-Magic must be brand new. It wasn't on their site a week or two ago. Either way it looks great.

I ordered quite a bit of sleeving before xmas and it was there then, that and the dark-blue greund..

[Ced-G60]

Not is was not, B-Magic been out since a week only

You are likely referring to the aquamarine coloured stuff. Which matches the Asus light blue they use on their boards. This stuff is more like the colour of MSI blue.

[Ced-G60]

News time, finally got my parts back !

The parts done.



i did both the HDD cage, even if I won't be using them, I'll have them ready if needed in the future.



As you may know or not, Lian-Li use smaller rivet. MDPC-X countersunk don't go in flush.


So I made the hole bigger.


Old rivet with new one.


Finished !


I did more work but no photo yet. I'll have some ready tomorrow, big update coming

[lowfat]

I never knew the rivets on MDPC-X were a bit bigger. I noticed that they didn't sit flush on my PC-V352 but I used them anyways.

[Ced-G60]

They work fine on most tower, but Lian-li is an exception. They never make standard stuff (even their M3 screw have smaller head diameter then standard M3...)
