Project BSG Scorpion Fleet Shipyards (Lian Li PC-A77B)

[luke997]

Good news:
1) Controlling all 21 fans via ASUS Fan Xpert through mobo CPU PWM fan connector works perfectly

2) New GPUs are fine. I was a tad bit worried about DOA since I didn't test but Palit's QA is good

Stock vid on both is 1.013v and after couple hours I got rock solid stable stock voltage OC at:
865mhz core
2260 memory

I was shocked with the memory OC, this 256MB Elpida chips are awesome!
I couldn't get much past 2000mhz on my 480s!

Temps are:
21C idle
35C stock speed load
38C OC speed load
all this with fans 50C, 18C ambient

3) What's best, at roughly similar settings I get >400W less off the wall than with 3x480s!

Bad News:

Aquaero is dead.
No USB device neither so I'm going to order 5.0, hopefully will get one for tomorrow.

@luke997 Your project makes me want to buy a Lian Li A77B But sadly it was discontinued
BTW, why do you hide all that awesomeness behind the side panel ? Why not make a window and add some lights inside ?

Thanks

There is A77F available, similar case, dimensions are just a little bit different.

Epic build all around! I truly appreciate your attention to detail and you get a blue ribbon.
One question for you; how did you mount the acrylic to the 3-way SLI bridge? I am building a Tri-SLI rig and will be doing something similar.
Good luck with the upgrades.

Thanks!
I used regular UHU glue.

Im following this build! Very high quality, and BSG is awsome too

A couple thoughts:
The tubing between the gpu and cpu, i think it would be better to ditch the 45s and just use normal straight fittings.
Also, on the left pwm block. Move the connection to the mb block from the top to the bottom. then connect the rad on the top one without any 45s

This should, in my opinion, straighten/smoothen the flow by cutting down 45s without introducing the same with the tubing. It would also look abit cleaner.

Thanks, appreciate!

I see what you mean and it certainly would look better.
Unfortunately with the current components it's the only sensible way it could work - that's due to how the Primochill LRT tubing stiff is.
Even using more force than I really should I couldn't fit shorter/tighter bends so it'll have to stay that way.
Shame that there's no full cover block, it would make everything much easier and look better.

On a positive side, the 45s don't affect flow much so I'm not concerned about the efficiency.
