Water Cooled Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO Project Build

[A Computer Guy]

... a completed build.

I said that to myself once two years ago. ...2 yrs later... still tweaking and changing stuff.

Let me rephrase. "Completed"

So, I got the PC running last night. Some things I still have to do such as:

-tidy up 24 pin and PCI-E cables a bit more
-fan controller wiring can be better, I had some issues at first so I had to connect and disconnect wires a bunch and messed it up. Going to redo today now that it's all sorted

But so far here it is. Just got late and I had to work early today

Sweet system @Chicken Patty

And, as I've said before, it's so great to see you active on TPU again my friend!!!!!!!

Hell, you're the one that got me into crunching for TPU!

I did what I could for the team and the cause when I was able to. I'm glad I can still contribute even if not as much as before. Have you seen my daily post average? Haha and I've been inactive forever!

And as far as the rig. Thank you! I'm working on it right now, looking even better.

Alright, so did some more wiring touching up, just small things here and there and here is the finished result of phase 1. You all didn't think this was the end of this project right? hahahahah So easy....

Anyways, I think I did a rather good job while keeping functionality. Sure I could have not used any of the front I/O cables, I could have gone with custom length PSU cables to clean things up further but honestly, it's my everyday PC, I rather keep that functionality. Overall, I'm happy.

For now they are cell phone pics. Going to grab my buddies camera soon and snap some better pictures to do it more justice.

EDIT: just noticed that one of the wire combs on the PCI-E cables is higher up, fixed that already but already had taken the pics

...and of course, the back side. Even if you can't see it it bothers me if it's not organized.

If you guys have any suggestions and/or comments let me know. Sure things can be ikmproved on it.


Now if you're wondering, for the next phase I plan on upgrading the GPU when the next gen comes out. I am still rocking the 2080 Ti. Whichever GPU I go with next, I will water cool it and add a radiator in the bottom. So that'll be phase 2. Then god knows what Phase 3 will be, LN2?

Nice, needs a drain valve though.

Hi,
Need another shot of the front looks

I have one. I can't fit it in the loop but check it. It's super easy to drain. I take my rig over to the sink. I remove the drain plug and like two drops is all that comes out. Since I have my drain valve ready I screw it in, then I can drain it properly by removing the fill port so air gets in. Drains in seconds. Zero mess.

What do you mean looks? like dark?

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Dark ?
Cool

 

[Chicken Patty]

Oh haha. Yeah no RGB up there. Might add a strip, debating that still.

Hi,
The pump swirl on the front is what needs a better image of it's the cool part I originally referred to.

That's what we do man, that's what we do!

 

[Chicken Patty]

Hmmm, what could I possibly be doing?
Phase 2 may have arrived sooner than we thought perhaps?

Hey guys, I owe you all a picture with the last update. Got a Asus 1200W PSU and a 3090 Ti vertically mounted. Looks great but before I do I need to fix an issue I just can't get fixed.

Out of the blue, one RAM stick isn't reacting to any RGB software. Whether it be Asus Aura, Armory Crate, Trident Z Lighting, anything. One turns white or whatever I set it to, the other one is just stuck in default rainbow? Now here is the interesting thing.

If I remove one stick, the remaining stick stops reacting, regardless of the slot I put it in. Both sticks have to be in for one to work even if I swap them, that one slot is the one reacting to what I do. So it ain't the RAM sticks itself. Possible it's a motherboard issue? It started out of the blue. I was browsing and one switched from static white to rainbow and I caught it with my peripheral.

Any input fellas?

 

[JrRacinFan]

Any input fellas?

Tried a CMOS reset>?

 

[Chicken Patty]

Tried a CMOS reset>?

Yep No change.

 

[JrRacinFan]

Yep No change.

Cant think of anything else to attempt. All dimm slots work fine sans the ability to adjust lighting?

Correct, and it's not dependent on RAM stick either. If I put both in and swap them around it's that one slot that doesn't change which is B2 on my mother board. If I take one stick out, regardless which stick is in, neither slot reacts to the changes.
