The Offical Lian Li PC-A05 Owners Discussion/Modding Thread!

I figured that might the the case, at first glance though I thought he had managed to wedge some kind of blower fan in there, and I was trying to figure out what it was attached to. The cable management makes mine look like a complete mess.

You no better photos conan? Quite intrested in that triple in the roof but the focus in those pics is a bit... wierd lol. Nice work though!

I'll try to get some in the next couple of days....

The triple rad fits up top quite nicely, you could still run XFire/SLI if you wanted, depending on how thick your rad is... Although you do lose the top 5.25 bay... It would likely fit a fan controller in it though!
 
Hi All

Well my last cables came in so I was able to finish the build today.

I overclocked it to 2.99 GHz and the temp's look pretty good at that setting when running Prime95 combined.

It was a fun build but it sure takes a lot of time and almost 2K to get to what I have now.

Thanks for all the compliments but most of the ideas came from others on the forum so I want to thank everyone that helped with the build.

Here is the final result.

Prime95 Combined after 1/2 hour Temp's were stable.

The power switch fit ok but I had to enlarge the reset switch hole from about 3/8" to 5/8" hole.

Then I had to make a harness with two three pin connectors so I could remove the front panel quickly if needed.

Making everything fit well without having the wiring in back showing took a while.

Wow thanks guys.

I changed the settings for my overclocking and redid Prime95 Combined.

How does everything look ? I am new to overclocking and this PC is on 24/7.

Well I have my PC running pretty good now. I ended up at 3.2 GHz and 1600 on the memory.
I got my Razer Mamba mouse and decided to get a pair of Audioengine A5 speakers to finish it off.
Thanks for all the help on this build.
 
Good job on the braiding there, I have the same power supply and wondering if it was worth it, but it looks good. Must have took a while. Nice build, well done.
 
Finally got my build finished, only had it running a couple of days now. Sorry for poor quality photos, taken with my phone.

Here's the A05 up next to my old V2010. Look at the size difference!!

I forgot to take some photos of the holes i cut, i'll try and remember at some point. I've done as much as i can be bothered to with regards to cable management. I customised one of the Corsair power cables by moving the sata power cables to the exact positions needed and soldering on a floppy connector (for the Xonar) and two fan conenctors at 7v. This meant that everything in the case is powered from the one cable coming from the power supply.
 
BS-03

Great news Richdog, can't wait to see some pics.:)


I've had my system built for about a month now and I am very happy with the case and new computer.

I added 2 new switches to the front of the case, a 22mm Delrin Vandal Resistant Illuminated Black - Blue Ring for the on/off and a 16mm Delrin Vandal Resistant Illuminated Black - Blue Dot for the reset/hdd activity.

I'm also thinking of putting in a load of Thermalright stuff in the case now, 2 chipset coolers and 2 mosfet coolers as my Asus Rampage Formula is running a bit hot.

Not surprising realy as i've got my Intel Q9450 overclocked to 3.6ghz and 4x1gb sticks of ram in it.

Also I've got a BFG GeForce 9800 GX2 in there and it kicks out loads of heat into the case as it is not a vented graphics card.

I've ordered a Lian Li BS-03 cooler to vent the hot air from the graphics card out the back of the case. It should help with the heat.

All 5 yate's @ 12V about 1400 RPM

Graphics card fan @ 1000 RPM

My current (idle) temps according to Everest Ultimate Edition are:

Motherboard = 35 C

CPU Core 1 = 47 C
CPU Core 2 = 44 C
CPU Core 3 = 44 C
CPU Core 4 = 44 C

Northbridge = 53 C
Southbridge = 43 C

GPU 1 = 51 C
GPU 2 = 49 C

I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow.

Hi k3v1n
I'm think of getting the BS-03 as my 4870 (stock) is running rather hot. Up to 80c. What do you think of the BS-03, did it lower your temps?

Thanks in advance
 
Nice feet

Where can I get feet like that?

Scythe Kaze Maru 140mm. Will they fit?

Hi guys
I've just bought my A05 and I'm thinking of upgrading the 2 x 120mm stock fans with Scythe Kaze Maru 140mm 1200RPM. The description says, "Can be installed using 120mm fan mounting holes". I'm just a little concerned about clearance around the exhaust fan at the front. Anyone tried this before? I'm also going to fit the Lian Li BS-03/06.

Edit: I've measured both fan spaces, I think it's going to be too tight, and as 10mm of the fan tips is going to be hidden, it might not be worth it anyway.
