[ Project ] : Altair | A Lian-Li PC-P80, dual loop, all internal build

[eponymous]

So here it is; after waiting many months for the stuff to arrive.

This project has been in the planning stage since Christmas so it's nice to be able to finally get round to making a project log

The hardware is as follows:

• Core i7 920 D0
• 12 GB Corsair Dominator 1600MHz CL8 RAM
• 2x EVGA GTX 285 SLI
• ASUS P6T Deluxe V2
• ASUS Xonar D2X
• 2x Intel X-25M SSD with backplane
• WD RE3 1TB (WD1002FBYS)
• Corsair HX-1000W
• Lian-Li PC-P80
• Dell 3008WFP 30"

There will be two loops: one for the GPU's + NB/SB and the MOSFETS and one for the CPU.

EDIT: I decided to go with motherboard cooling in the end I didn't want to have to put whiney 40mm fans in the case.

Watercooling gear:

• Koolance 350AT
• 2x Koolance VID-NX-285
• Bitspower Black Freezer AIX58NS NB/SB
• Black Freezer MOS AMOSII POM Version (MOSFET 1)
• Bitspower Black Freezer MOS AMOSIII POM Version (MOSFET 2)
• 2x Laing DDC 3.2 / XSPC Acrylic top Rev. 3
• 2x EK Multioption 150 Res Ver. 2
• 2x Thermochill PA 120.3
• 6x Scythe S-Flex 1200 RPM Fans
• 7/16" Primochill Pro Green LRT
• 7/16" Primochill Pro Blue LRT
• B.P. Silver Shiny 1\2" Barbs,
• B.P. 'T' / Alphacool Ball Valve
• B.P. M-M Rotary drain

This will be an all internal build with one of the radiators on the bottom of the case and one of the radiators in the front drive bay area. Please ignore the radbox in the case photos below - this was an initial idea but I've since decided not to bother using it.


So, here are a few photos of stuff so far:

NOTE: (I'm not actually going to be using a steel radbox - this was just an initial idea)






















The backplane I bought for the SSDs:









Heatshrink anyone? (Yes, some of those are 150m rolls )



The watercooling stuff:















I'll add more stuff soon!
