Lian-Li PC-X2000F Case

[krickster]

Will appreciate thoughts on the build I'm working on.

I'm putting together a system with the i7 3930k processor. I'd like to use the Corsair H80 liquid cooler. I purchased the PNY GTX 580 video card with liquid cooling.

Any thoughts on making these two 120 mm mounts work in the Lian-Li PC-X2000F case?

Thanks for your help.

It uses 140mm fans, if you can get mounts for the H80 or if it has mounts for 120mm fans it should fit. To be honest there are cheaper alternatives. Are you OCing?

So the pny 580 has its own radiator as well? To get them to fit onto the 140mm fans u can use an adapter like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811995076 They're meant to mount 140 on 120 but u should be able to get them to work. If there are two radiators i dont know if your cpu one will reach the top 140mm as i dont see a place close enough to your vid card to use.

You could also manage it with these fans, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233092, as they have things to mount on 140mm fan mounts.

Should work, just make sure the cooling tubes are long enough or you'll end up with some very expensive unmountable gear.

Nice case selection . If one is going to spend $500 dollars + with shipping for a case . That case deserves more than what your doing. Never know a new product could show up any day now just for that case. That case should have a 2 circuit AquaComputer 360 modularity radiator. Along with any 2 bay reservoir/pump setup . NV580 watercooled fits fine . Use the 70% loop on GPU the 30% loop on cpu. Just saying. If you can afford that case . Than you can't afford not to do it right!

Yea but you could get a big ass water cooling setup going or you could buy a couple of cheap pre-made coolers and be done with it.

I know setting up WC is fun and I've done it but these days I also understand people don't have the time for it anymore.
