Lian Li PC-7FW build

Credit to Helios1234 who helped me build it and overclocked it.

Running @ 3.8 Ghz, idling at 50deg and peaking at 91deg when stressed. I think the case airflow starts being a problem now. The stock fans (900/1000rpm), whilst VERY quiet aren't fast. I think upgrading them to around 1500rpm will help. As will upgrading the CPU cooler with maybe 2 more and similarly faster fans. I'd like to eventually push it to 4.0Ghz and idling under 50deg/peaking under 90deg.

Maybe even investigate into putting an 80/100 mm fan at the top if there is space.
 
Replaced the front fan to a Xigmatek 14cm 1000rpm (stock @ 900) and rear 12cm fan to Arctic F12 pro 1500rpm (stock @ 1000). Had the latter spare. Used cable ties to fix the stock (blue) front fan behind the hard drive cage to help airflow - not sure how effective that is and colour doesn't coordiate. Wanting Xigmateks all round though I think. Possibly a new cpu cooler too.

GPU idle temp down from 67 to 63
GPU peak temp down from 92 to 87

CPU idle temp down from 54 to 47
CPU idle temp down from 90 to 82

All temps approx and as far as I remember. General 5 deg C drop all round at least.

so far, I've narrowed down to this case. I really like the Lian Li PC-P50R Armoursuit but is out of budget range.
 
Revival!

I think I'm picking this case up later this morning for £89 - I fancied a change from the P182 (which is in MM now :D) and wanted a case that supports bigger intake fans for more quietness (more quiet than a P182? crazytalk ;-))

Will post a thread after rebuild :)
 
Hey, is there any chance (seems a bit strange I know) but of the inside room and the 5.25" bays with your rig in there? Thanks
