Has anyone actually bought one of these yet? I'm going to be revamping my watercooling loop soon with an A64 and was wondering if one of these silent rads would be sufficient for an OC'd A64, 6800GT and NF4 chipset. I'd love to see some pictures of full systems using this rad just for ideas of fitting it.

Thanks to both Marci and Cathar for all the hard work on this one.

Lian Li PC-6077, has 5 1/4 bays all the way down the front so I had to cut a little & install with fan pushing through rad, a normal LL case should be fine without cuts though & let you install rad either way round.

couple more here..

We've made a minor modification to the manufacturing process to make the rads slightly easier to mount... on the side opposite to the barbs (where mcmad currently has his shroud) we've added 4x tapped fixing points into the lips of the sidewalls, so that the rad can be attached direct to the case with the shroud on the opposing (side with the barbs on) face. This allows the full core area to be mounted flat against the front of the case (with a simple rectangular opening needed) with shroud on the inside so that cold air can be pulled in thru the front of the case, thru the core, thru the shroud....

Once the first modified batch turns up I'll do a photoshoot of fitting the rad in any LianLi PC6x case, and any other cases I happen to lay my hands on.

Nice one Marci

If one of those cases happens to be a Lian Li V1100 I'd be most interested if the PA160 would fit in;

1) the front in place of the HDD Racks
2) along the bottom, again in place of the HDD Racks, mounted side on so you could perhaps fit two PA160s.

Along the bottom, literally, would work. IE: Cut 160x160 hole in base of case, mount radiator flat against hole. Shroud on top of radiator, with fan pulling air in thru the base... the wheels of the V series give it enough standoff to allow sufficient airflow.

Sounds ideal.
I'm personally a bit bling-averse, but have you thought of matching grills? Hoiles in the grills match up with the tapped holes in the rad, maybe include spacers and/or "roll" the grill edges a bit to stand the grill off from the rad - center part is whatever bling you think might sell (wonder if there's a way to make it look like an old MG rad - probably would only appeal to old fogies, so maybe not such a great idea...)

Now if I can get one or 2 of these and mount my 150mm papst (draw, 5-7V)on a 1" shroud....

I'm thinking about cases for this rad. I wonder if it would fit in the lower section of a Stacker with an intake underneath (would have to add castors). I'm being obsessive about not loosing drivebays.

Yes to the stacker question above, and it defo fits peachy in a LianLi PC60 with VERY minor modifications required (3 lines to cut with a jigsaw / dremel / hacksaw, 6 holes to drill).

However, in a PC60 it leaves you with only 5.25" bays (ie: 2x optical drives, 2x HDDs in 3.5 > 5.25 adapters, 1x Matrix Orbital in front of one HDD, 1x FanBus in front of the other...)

Will post modification guide and parts required etc within next few days...

That would be much appreciated Marci. Please post a link to the thread in here. Thanks

In response to the remarks on plastic tanks in the DDC failure thread. Personally, I wouldn't care if the tanks were plastic if the price fell at or below a BIX. I wouldn't expect most people to care either since it would be a better product at the same or better price.

Just bought one of these - great construction quality, very nice rad.
I am currently looking at a new case too so will eagerly await any pics of other guys installs...

I have thought both about a new Lian Li with a 120mm front intake. OR a V-1100 and having the rad on the base as Marci described. I am slightly worried about dust buildup though in that setup.

Any comments on that?

Just get some decent opencell foam and place it between rad and case to act as a dustfilter... or a pair of old tights / stockings...

Have done the PC60 install now that I've bought a new dremel (burnt the last one out after many years of use), just waiting for digicam batteries to charge and I'll post up the worklog(ish)

Excellent, can't wait. I've just purchased a £4.99 case to dump my hardware in temporarily aircooled so I can clean out the old cooling loop and get some new parts for it.
