Just looked it up...

This is your typical gay Lian Li case!

Look at the 'dissipating flow', so called... mobo mounted upside-down, intake in the rear (ahem), PSU exhaust in the front...

A Lian Li apologist recently explained this to me... these cases come from the other side of the world (China) and they think upside-down. Hello!?!?!

Gimme a break!

Vin -- you seem to like bashing every LL post in this forum. I think everyone already knows where you stand on their reverse-flow ideas.

swtethan ricing out his lianli

i have a similarly small lianli case and the temps kinda sux. mine has 2x120mm fans plus an 80mmtop but its so cramped with the PSU over (errr, in front of) the cpu and an 8800gts, pvr card, 3x hdd, etc. idle right now its exhausting 35c air from the side 120mm fan. it has been on for a couple days but hasn't gamed yet.?

 

[swtethan]

Should I buy a scythe ninja? I already have many 80+ cfm 120's laying around......

hmm, nvm... ill just see what its like when I get it

 

[swtethan]

Probably when it arrives I will lap my cpu and HS, I replaced the stock fan and all I gained was like 2-4c difference (43ish idle) :| could it be bad contact?

 

[rise]

i dunno, i kinda gave up worrying about temps on my c2d. on water, albeit a cheapo setup, i idle ~ 45 and load ~ 55c.

i couldn't fit tower hsf's with my psu placement but i did try 7700cu, 8800cu (?) and the stock, lol and i was in the mid-high 60c's. i lapped the zalmans to no avail.

could be conta ct, have you checked the flatess of the hsf base with a straightedge?

 

[swtethan]

I have not checked the flatness yet, once I remove my motherboard and everything I will go through it and see.

 

[rise]

matters well check the cpu ihs too

 

[swtethan]

I have two tubes of AS5 here..... Im so tempted to lap my stuff this weekend since i have some time...

 

[rise]

i did mine but it didn't help much, although it was clearly concave to start.

Um...

The OP's question was, "what do you think of this case?"

Am I supposed to Lie n' Lie about Lian Li?

 

[tylerdustin2008]

Yes i know. But still, make him feel good then bash him.... its funnier that way. LOL

 

[swtethan]

you guys and your big e-penis cases, always gotta look down on the guys with the smaller sexier ones

 

[tylerdustin2008]

hahahaha sexier ones? Maybe that was suppose to be directed to out cases?? I think so. I GOT MINE IN!!!!! It's sexy as hell and very light!

 

[swtethan]

Okay I just lapped my cpu tonight, seeing 7c improvement in temps. I better turn on the AC, its getting hot in here.

I'm sorry, but I don't want anyone to *feel* bad...

I didn't know this guy had already bought a (gak) Lian Li! How do you know this?!?!?!

Anyway, when I said *gay case* that's what I meant!

With Lian Li cases, right is left, up is down, in is out, back is front, girl is boy, boy is girl, yada, yada, yada!

If someone would have explained this years ago, maybe so many ppl wouldn't have AIDS, you know?

Anyway, Lian Li blows! Sorry, but that's just the way it is...

If you don't *feel* like hearing this, don't ask, don't tell, don't pursue!
