lian li v352 measurements

[barfastic]

hello all!

i was wondering if anyone with this case cold measure the distance indicated in red!



Any help would be largly appreciated.

Thanks!

How long can be the psu in this case?

255mm, give or take a mm.

Edward, the case can support 180mm long PSUs without cutting into the drive bays, but it will be a very tight fit. Didn't you ask this question last week.

38mm x 270mm. If you are looking to fit a radiator, an XSPC RS240 will work.

Yep i ask but it was about the v351, im looking between this two.



Would a 5870 with an ek waterblock enter ?

Im concern about the height more than the length

Nope. It will fit in the v351, but because the PSU is on the GPU side of the 352 you cannot cut into the drive bay to give the clearance you need. You can cut the bottom of the 351's drivebay and fit a koolance block (which are tall) and two hard drives no issues.

Do you have any pics?

I cant find one

if you are planning to watercool your system using a v352, i strongly suggest get the v351 instead. its so much easier compared to the 352.

just to give you an idea..





you can put a longer videocard or a thicker rad(minus the long video card) if you put the fans on push(on the front of the case).

Can you measure the total length for a vga without the rad? i need to fit a 5870 there :p

[NFC]

The total length, without the rad, is 282mm. You will be able to fit a 2.6mm to spare.

thanks everyone.... i went with the v351 afterall... build log wills oon start in the liquid cooling thread.

Went with an EK 240coolrad (had it spare)

[Hannibal Lecter]

This is interesting, @NFC do you have the exact max height (from the M/B) for a videocard with a waterblock, or the measurement from the top of the card PCB to the top of the waterblock? I can't find the info.

Apologies to barfastic for the thread hijack

no worries...

It will be too thick unless you go w/ a tiny motherboard.

[barfastic]

im going to remount the fans and radiator closer to the front panel... no worries...

Not all waterblocks are created equal, but the VID-428 sticks out exactly 32.05mm from the PCB--and I think its the same with the VID-285 and VID-275.

I don't have the exact measurements for the motherboard PCIE slot (at sunk depth) to the HDD bay, but maybe lowfat or knet370 has it. Roughly, it sticks out through the cage about 5mm. Getting it in is the real pain though.

knet370 has one of the best V-35X rigs I have seen--his solution for modifying the HDD bay allows you to easily install a blocked card (and looks killer), however you will lose one drive doing that.

Thanks a lot, that's very helpful. I never realised the full waterblocks were sticking so much above the pcb. GPU only waterblocks are usually no problem.

you can remedy this problem( if you need more hdd/sdd ) by buying one of this:




which will allow you to mount 4 2.5inch hdd( such as the momentus xt ) or ssd and at the same will look and fit nicely on the 351.

[Edward88]

Nice solution but, i dont think that the 1tb 2.5 hdds fits that.

Beside that, those 4 hdds so close will generate tons of heat

1TB drives definitely will fit. And 4 2.5" HDD's will put almost no heat out. They don't run all that hot.

One of my notebooks have a hdd that puts out lots of heat



About the 1tb disk, remember that the are a bit taller than the smaller ones. I dont know if it will fit really, the picture seems a bit tight

[knet370]

on my configuration, i have a 2tb WD black 3.5in hdd, then on that 2.5hdd converter kit i have 2 ocz vertex 2 ssd's. you dont want in to put alot of hdd there since it will add up to the cable clutter.
