Watercooled Lian li V600

[jadawgis732]

You say in the first post "more on that later" referring to the frosted CCFL behind the bottom piece of perspex but you never spoke on it, other than to show beautiful photos. Can we get some close ups of the inner workings or could you give a brief overview of what thickness perspex, color, translucence, whether or not you sanded it, and how far the CCFLs are underneath it, and what size and how many are the CCFLs?

Farmerbrown, beautiful V600.

...also thanks for making me further regret not getting 2 when I had the chance when I thought about doing what Jedda did to his V1000's.

Hi

Sorry about that I should of explained more behind how I went about the build this coming weekend I will be taking the rig apart to change the CPU waterblock as I just got a new ek HF full nickel block to go with my other nickel waterblock, might wait tell I get ether another gpu or waterblock for the motherboard itself as I am having trouble overclocking this rig for some reason need more voltage which as you know will produce more heat, looking also to change the rad for something a bit thicker so i.e. more heat I can get rid of.

Well I can tell you that the Perspex is 5mm cast frosted Perspex, the reason for this is because of the grill which has been cut in the Perspex by the laser cutter, because in the past I have tried doing the same with normal Perspex but this resulted in the Perspex bonding together because of the heat that is produced when cutting. Cast Perspex costs more but the material properties are much better.

I have a total of four CCFF in the rig, two 4inch and two 12 inch, the two four inch once are positioned at the top of the rig and the two 12 inch under the Perspex. the Perspex is 25mm high (Thickness of the fans) the fans I used where clear so that all the light from the CCFF would be seen, I had used normal no clear fans there would have been a dark outline of the fans as no light would be in that area because of the fans.

I will take more photos in the coming week with a better explanation of how the rig has been put together.

Other than this I trust that you like me rig, I am looking to sell this off and build another one again

Wanting to start building and selling rigs like this for a living

HI

Thanks for the feedback was beginning to think people don’t like my rig.

Ya took some time but really am pleased with the results.

I have been looking for this case for over three years and was luck and for someone on eBay (God bless eBay) selling 4 of them brand new in the box was going to buy two but when i asked he had sold 3 and I got the last One.

The one thing i love about this case is that it has four 5 1/4 inch bays which is always a plus.

As I said above I am going to be doing an update and will give a more in depth looking into how the rig has been build.

It looks good, except I wouldn't put the pump right above the PSU. I would be worried that if anything happened with the pump top, like say it cracked or something, that it would leak into the PSU and have a great potential to kill it. Otherwise nice build.

[Creekin]

+1 ^ ive always thought putting a res or pump over the psu was mad!

even if it doesnt leak there, a leak anywhere can run down the outside of tubes and straight in...

[Farmerbrown]

Hello

Took some more photos of the rig at night so that the CCFL lights can be seen

I will be some time in the furture adding somethings to the rig, or might sell it and build another rig (At the moment second option seems better )

Well hope you like

Very clean build

[Farmerbrown]

Very clean build

Thanks

I am currently rebuilding the system, going to be changing some of the watercooling parts, also looking into watercooling the motherboard, might be getting one of EK waterblocks but looking into the problems they had with the waterblock.

In the next month or so i will be posting photos of V2 of the case

Its kind of an endless cycle, isnt it?

[Farmerbrown]

Its kind of an endless cycle, isnt it?

LOL ya thats true, but thats what its all about lol

Think this is going to be the last update i will be doing to this build after this i will be selling it on.

I am planning another build as we speak going to be something a little more bigger and again very different

[disruptfam]

Nice tidy lil build you have there.

Not usually a fan of the coils on the tubes but it doesn't look to bad here.

Good job.

[blazarcher]

WOW amazing build, A+ work. I'm looking to build a small PC for me to take overseas, gonna go with the Lian Li V600FB. I was just curious what is that panel you have covering the 5.25" bay area and part of your radiator?

[Furball Zen]

Just a piece of acrylic, something i could whip you up in no time with my laser cutter.

[Farmerbrown]

Ya its a piece of white acrylic

[paulbagz]

Genes are so coot.

lol @ snow pics too, epic cooling

How did you find sleeving the Silverstone? I cut my capacitors out but love the PSU.

Ya loved the gene up untill the point I blew it up ha ha ha

but got a new one about 2 weeks ago so going to do some mods to the rig

lol ya like the snow pics gose well with the rig

so keep and eye on the thread because I have some things planned

[Farmerbrown]

OK so its been a year that I have and this rig now, so I think its time that I do some mods to it.

Have had some new waterblock tops cut out (see Photos)

Might be looking at getting a better rad mabe a xspc RX360

and mabe a new SSD and some other lighting mods

SO watch this space

Special thanks to Tom and Chilled PC fot cutting the Tops out for me, and also to Gregor at EK for Providing me with the CAD data need to cut the tops out

[Farmerbrown]

Well Boys and Girls been working on the fitting of the new Waterblock Tops.

When it came to fitting the waterblock to the Rampage Gene III I had to mod the Motherboard yes that’s right kids the motherboard which was one of the most palm sweating things I have ever had to do.

The reason for the Motherboard modding was because of the new rev of the board one of the capacitor (Will Post Image At Some Point) on the board has move so this resulted in me having to mod the holes on the board so that they line up with the waterblock, so out came the drills and files

This took me a good 2 hours to do but in the end got all the holes to line up

Then fitted the waterblock with its new White Top on the board

Then came the moment of truth the power up.....ready....steady....go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I can confirm that the motherboard works

So now I breathe for the first time in like 2 hours.

OK now that that’s all done I will be reassembly the case again, might be fitting a new rad if it fits in the case

SO tune in next time kids

What my pc is running at

You got that result on a 120.3 rad with a GPU in the loop? Thats one cool running chip

[Farmerbrown]

Ok so guys and girls I need your help

The front panel of the case I am going to change, I am going to fit a Aquaero and a Aquatube and also some switches.

In the images below you will see three different types of the front panel, the first is of just the Aquaero, Aquatube & the switches, the second is the same plus some Temperature LCD displace which would display watertemps in and out of the rad, and the last is the same again but with the tube off centre.

So I am not quite sure which one of the three I should go for so am looking to you guess for some help

So let me know which one please

The red square in the last image will give you a better understanding as to where the plate is going to be used.
