Lian-Li Places a 240 mm Radiator on Top of Motherboard

[N.Broekhuijsen]

Lian-Li has built a case that uses a very creative solution for accommodating a 240 mm radiator without making the enclosure any bigger.

micro atx? uh cool thanks but nah

 

[DRosencraft]

Not a terrible idea, but a larger case would certainly be nice.

LOoks good ill take it

 

[balister]

Only issue I see is you can't do push-pull from the demo.

mine micro atx get an i5 3470 at 4.0ghz/ and another one with 3770k 4.6ghz. micro atx is good to lan party... i don´t need 15kg setup to say mine computer have balls

I like the clean look.

 

[ubercake]

Good solution for a smaller case.

Lian-Li may want to thank Necere on HardForum for this design idea and the other ideas they're borrowing from the NCASE M1

 

[tinmann]

It would be a good solution for a full tower with an adequate lower compartment. Maybe even one on each side.

Ooh, I like that - and putting it in a small form factor is exactly where it should be - that's where space matters.

I'd like to see this proof-of-concept go further and become standard in fancier cases.

Like daveg points out, this feature has been "inspired" by the NCASE M1, which Lian-Li are OEM'ing.

They need to catch up to others who make cases that can take big rads. I would love to own a Lian Li case that can take 360-420-480 mm radiator up top and another 280-360 mm radiator at the bottom with 2x140 mm fans for intake up front. It seems that they are more focused on mATX/ITX and aircooled ATX cases.

I did almost the exact same thing to my LianLi PC60 way back in the day. Loctite, and a small Piano Hinge. LOL

I guess if you are okay to buy RAM without a heatsink, this will work out for you.

Heatsinks for ram are purely aesthetic anyways, so all it takes is knowing that.

+1, With the exception to rather extreme memory overclocking, tall heat spreaders are not actually needed on memory.

I do not know if that thing gets THAT close anyway, most if not all g-skill would still fit under it(tall heat spreaders, but not ridiculous).
