Hi guys, first time poster here (not first time modder though ) I just wanted to share with you all my current work. I am open to any and all feedback, suggestion, praise, and scoff. I hope you all enjoy it, and maybe get an idea or two.
I have been wanting to do something different with my pc for some time now. Upgrades, as far as, mobo/proc/ram/gpu have crossed my mind, but, I don't feel the need to do that, as I am running everything I play/do, just fine. So, this is where I stand, Lets give my Lian Li a Makeover!
This makeover will entail new tubing, barbs, blocks, pump, rad, res, All EKWB brand. Also an automotive grade paint job on the internal part of the case. Possibly a few minor hardware upgrades. I'm aiming for class, and elegance, not flashy and flamboyant. I plan on putting my utmost concentration in this build. I hope it turns out well.
Current Hardware:
Case : Lian Li PC-A05B
CPU : Intel Core i7 950
Mobo : Asus Rampage GeneII
RAM : 3x2GB Gskill Trident (subject to change)
HDD : WD Black 1Tb (most likely going to add an SSD to the mix 128/256gb)
GPU : Gigabyte GTX480
Future H20 Items:
Rad: EK Cool Streams 240 & 120
Pump: EK DCP 4.0 w/4.0 Res
CPU Block: EK Supreme HF White Top
Mobo Block: EK NB/SB 5 (hopefully it fits)
Res: EK Black Bay Spin
Enough with that, here is what we are working with:
Case disassembly, and putting the components on my tech bench, as this PC is used daily.
Here is how it went:
Fast forward |>>|>>|
Thats all for now, MUCH more to come. I hope I have not missed anything..
