Lian Li V354b Build :)

After some time debating over this case I took the plunge and ordered one from OCUK yesterday, it arrived on time today and have spent a few hours building it tonight, main aim was to get the cabling as tidy as possible not an easy task in such a small case.

Ive got quite a few pics which im in the process of uploading so will update it asap

Specs (basically as my sig) are

Asus Maximus Gene III
I7 860
8gb Patriot Sector 5 1600mhz cas8
120gb OCZ Vertex 2e
2x1tb F3 Samsung in Raid 0
Gigabyte GTX 460 oc 1gb SLI
Corsair h50-1
4 x coolermaster 120mm white led fans
1 x coolermaster 140mm white led fan
Corsair HX650W PSU
Pioneer DVDRW

Have fun Brad!

It's a great case - should work well with those components.

Particularly liking the 460 SLi goodness - v jealous!!!

Looking forward to pics.

Cheers, i didnt resize them from 12mp so ive cancelled the uploads and resized them, should be ready in a few mins

Ah ready heres a few

Overall pretty happy one thing im going to try and do is get a spare set of pci-e leads from corsair (if they sell them?) and make them much shorter. The loudest thing is the F3's rotating but other than that im pretty happy, just running it at stock atm, was a little concerned that the cards would run hot sandwiched together but so far top one is idling at 34C and the bottom at 45C, cpu cores 26-30

That is a great looking build Bradmax57, be interested in some OC'ed temps. My next major upgrade will probably be to a smaller case. Good job with the cabling, I built a Sugo SG05 media pc for a friend and found that a small case makes for some tough cable management.

clocked at 4.2ghz now 1.288v, cpu is idling at 39-42c just ran 3dmark06 a few times and its not gone over 64C, not too bad?

Had a little fiddle around with the pci-e leads this morning, managed to router them in front of and under the psu, much better

If you need spare leads matey drop me an email.. I have hundereds of them.. Will be away for a week on holiday from today but can sort you when i get back..

holy cow, thats very nice just goes to show you dont need these huge cases?

The psu ones? im quite happy the way its worked out tucked away now, but it could be good to mod a set shorter to fit directly

Yup.. i have both the PCIe and the Molex/SATA ones..

I dont know much about clocking i7 chips, but at that speed with those temps... pretty awesome mate

Very nice build.
Very nice case, how much did it cost, if i may ask?
Very nice overclock and temps

Looks great, I've been waiting for someone to put a V354 build up before I bite the bullet and buy one.

Think I'll be buying a V354 and 6850/70 in the next 2 weeks.

Is the CPU placement on that board lower than it normally would be on a 775? I'm planning to get a TRUE120 in there facing upwards, but it looks like your PSU is overlapping your H50?

*Edit*Just got some pics out, and it looks like it is, can you foresee any problems with a TRUE120 in there?

nice one - looks good.

How loud is it with all the fans running?

Nice powerful little build mate.
