Water Cooled Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO Project Build

[ThrashZone]

Oooo they're spicy all right, I have one

However in testing TechN Germany was apparently ever so slightly better performance wise. I suspect they might not be as nice aesthetically or pure build quality though.

Went with Optimus when I built my current system as Brexit was making imports from Germany into UK very difficult.

Hi,
Yep techN in the eu is a no brainer it's price point and performance is unmatched but yeah I've seen some whack cold plate milling for sure
USA optimus all the way always good quality.
Thought they had hard tubing to but nope not yet.

 

[ThrashZone]

I was going to get a techn block but no copper version so nope.

One thing to consider is if you will ever want to vertically mount your GPU. If you do, you should pick up the appropriate Lian Li vertical GPU bracket for your case sooner rather than later. At some point they will sell out and there's a good chance Lian Li won't manufacture another batch.

As you've already seen, third-party accessory makers aren't eagerly making more distribution plates for your Dynamic Evo. They're going to focus on the case models that sell the most.

I already grabbed a distro plate last night from Radikult. Arrives the 29th, hopefully that one does me good for a while. And as far as vertically mounting my GPU, don't see myself doing that anytime soon, if ever.

Can you post pics of the setup? Would like to check it out.

If you are getting the EK black tubing make sure you get the correct size fittings for it. When I did my first build I didn't realize that particular black tubing didn't come in the smaller size of fittings and clear tubing I was starting out with. So now instead of rebuying all my fittings I'm probably going to go with the cheaper option to compatible size black primochill tubes instead.

Thanks for the heads up. I usually do pay a lot of attention to that as I've made mistakes like that before.

Well, just to post a recap. I got the following parts on the way:

-Radikult Custom Evo S Distro Plate (https://www.radikult-custom.com/product-page/evo-s)
-D5 Pump from Titan Rig (https://www.titanrig.com/ekwb-ek-lo...D=42967&indexName=titan_live_default_products)


This will get the distro plate/pump taken care of. Once I get them I will fit it into the case and start plotting out what I'll need for fittings, tubing, rad, coolant, etc to finish the loop. While I have it apart I'll see what else I can get done with cable management, modifications, etc. Should start having updates Monday or Tuesday when parts start to arrive!

I'm using the same pump

Seems to be a really popular choice.

Can't complain, it is silent, though i don't run it full pelt, rather i think about 40% then ramping up with the temp. Maybe should run it higher all the time, not sure.

I use 30%, and 40% if the cpu hits 70c which is basically never.

Mine only goes high if i run stupid things like R23 etc, but gaming it's pretty amazing and GPU does not go over 50c

Woohoo, the part I'm most excited for, the distro plate

Which Evo S one did you get? I see they had a behind glass option for the EVO which is pretty sweet (and not available for the original 011D) if you wanted to keep your glass.
I can't wait to see the pictures of your installation.

I got the behind the glass one. I wanted the front to have the same finish. I think the one that replaces the whole panel has a slightly different finish to the rest of the case. I can't wait either buddy!

Hi,
I'd get some plastic dip to add to all mounting places so you don't get any vibration issues
A computer guy stated the use of plastic washers isn't an easy if possible task.

Thank you for the heads up. I will check that out during install. Definitely don't want that rattling in there

If you can get some close up pictures of the mounting system. I didn't see any videos showing behind the glass mounting so that will be interesting to see how he designed that. I expect the mounting in the EVO to probably be better than the original 011D where I had to actually drill out rivets from the case.

He has a video on YouTube where he briefly explains it. He said you remove some clips or something and then install the bracket. Don't think it involves removing any rivets this time. Fingers crossed! ...and yes, I'll get those pics for ya!

got a link to the vid please?

I believe he mentions it in this video. I'm at work now so I can't watch the whole thing but it might be this one. It's also possible I misinterpreted it hahaha.

Got the Distro plate in today. Lighting in my house sucks, so I ordered a light so tomorrow I can grab some pictures. Plate is nice though, can't wait to install it and show it to you folks

I build 2 PCs with Lian Li 011D + Bitspower Sedna 011D distro plate in 2018

Thank you for sharing! Those are two very nice builds, great job! I will have pics to post tonight. Hopefully you guys like the direction this project is headed.

I also ordered some 120 SL Infinity fans. Love the wireless uni design and how the RGB and power is all in one cable if you use the controller which I did get. Should keep wiring to a minimum for RGB and PWM which was my least favorite part about this whole RGB shenanigans. Can't wait!

120 SL Infinity fan

Got 3 of these running off 1 fan header which is pretty neat.
