mCubed Borg in Lian Li V600B

[WJA96]

Hi,

I posted some time ago that I was having cooling problems in a Lian Li V600B. I thought I had solved them with some VERY big YS-Tech 120mm fans, but with the hot weather the Intel chip in there is just throttling itself.

Can anyone see any reason why, if I bolt the heatpipes of an mCubed Borg to the Lian-Li V600 chassis, I won't get good cooling?

And I have an Eclipse 62 with AC Freezer 7 Pro on standby just in case you think it won't work.

No, it's the fact that you cannot use a full-height cooler in the Lian-li. With an AC Freezer 7 Pro fitted to the Lian-li and the PSU fed through the hole in the back there is no cooling problem. The stock intel cooler, a Thermaltake Golden Orb and a Nitrogon NT-03 have all failed to adequately cool the processor with the side panels on and the PSU in place.

As it happens, the Borg turned up in rather more parts than it's supposed to, so that experiment has been put on hold for a few days. I'm going to see if I can get hold of a Reserator instead.
