Lian Li A71B, Dual Loop (i7, 4870X2, Bloodrage)

[Paxi]

First of all i have to say, that this build isn´t about look at all. I got a second pump for cheap and i decided to split my loop to a seperate GPU/NB and CPU Loop. I also want to get everything inside the case this time. The Case will be completly closed with no window and i will put some noise-absorbent mat inside.

Hardware used (as in my sig):
Core i7 920
Foxconn Bloodrage
4870X2
Corsair HX1000W
6GB Corsair Dominator PC1600CL8

Loop1:
Thermochill PA120.3
D-Tek Fuzion rev1
Laing Ultra /w Alphacool Top and RES (i hope i can bleed this out, otherwise i´ll get me an XSPC Top)

Loop2:
Thermochill PA120.2
XSPC 4870X2 Acetal
Bloodrage NB Block
Laing DDC-1T (non Pro/Ultra) /w Zern Top
EK Multioption RES 150ml

Here is a former Pic of my build:



What I´ve done so far:
Mostly cleaned up some parts and the case. Had a hard time mounting the PA120.2 in the front, but then a i had an idea about using cable ties and it works perfecty Also mounted the Res with some cable ties.




Next things to do: Cleaning my PA120.3, putting the noise-absorbent mat in my case, put together the case again.
I hope i´ll be able to finish this within ~1 Week, i got some stuff to learn and mabye i need to order some more parts (XSPC Top, Fittings) but i don´t think so.

And i was thinking about adding a T-Line for drain on Loop 1, maybe i´ll ask you guys later where to put it, but first of all i need to do some other things

Enjoy

Reserved for next update (coming tommorow or Tuesday)
And i just decided to get me a XSPC for one pump for sure because i can´t stand the look of one Top in Acetal and one in Plastic (didn´t i say it´s not about the look ?). I also changed to Res Mount because my plan to get my drives into the 5,25" drive bay didn´t came up

Never seen that pump top before . . .but then again, don't see any of their cpu blocks either lol.

Well i got 2 Zern PQ+, one for socket 939 and another one for socket 775. To be honest i didn´t noticed much difference in temps from moving to my Fuzion (regarding the fact that the Fuzion costs almost 3x more as the Zern).
And i also haven´t seen the top before, i got the pump with the top, the top will be removed tommorow anyway.

Update for today:
Cutted the HDD Expansion Cage, that came with the case and mounted it. Painted some things. Bought XSPC Top..
I haven´t decided yet to put the EK Res on Top of my Laing or mounting it on the Motherboard Tray.
Pics:
(don´t ask me why i drilled so much holes, i was a bit confused today :P)
(i couldn´t resist to paint something red^^)

Last update for today:


Will move on, on Wednesday. I know the T-Line for drain on the GPU/NB Loop isn´t placed very well but better than none.

System first time running after some issues and the temps are really amazing



But still many things to do (some cable managment, bleeding out, finishing case and some more little things)
Will do a fresh Vista Install afterwards and some benches

Looks nice! I am contemplating trying to fit my 3/8 tubing over the barbs to get some water on my chipset(my poor fingers will hurt). Have you noticed any appreciable difference in your running temps with the block on?

[Paxi]

Not really. I ran it with the passive Cooler + Fan before. But i´m gonna push the IOH Core Voltage a bit, so maybe after that there is a little difference.

Looks like one O-Ring on my PA120.3 CPU Loop isn´t sealing right. I got a minimal leak (~1drop in 5mins), already put some duct tape over it but it´s still not 100% leakproof. I´ll have to refill my CPU Loop but not today, some kitchen roll under it will do the job for now^^
