While this was a short run, this is quite typical even after several hours of testing (OCCT Linpack, Prime 95, Orthos, gaming): Temps at load - max temp was 55 degrees C. Temps at idle - all stock/auto settings - memory timings input manually: Note that ambient temps were between 23-24 degrees C during the following runs. Just saying it performs better than I expected, and meets my needs. Please realize I am not saying this case is perfect for an overclocking maniac or hardcore 24/7 gamer. Here's some data I've collected since I've been running this system. Video Cards are EVGA GTX 260 Core 216, 55nm x 2įan Controller is a Scythe Kaze Master AceĪnd, in case you're wondering why I didn't remove the QC sticker, it just happens to be my husband's birthday, so I kept it for luck I did use an extender for my 8-pin power connector to get a little more flexibility with hiding the cable. The top and sides are lined with noise dampening material.Īnother view of the innards.

There are two 140mm fans for front intake. īasic Silver Box - lightly brushed anodized finish, typical Lian Li quality This case has exceeded my expectations with respect to noise control, air flow, and appearance. But, my conscience got the better of me, and I did some work on the cables last night - at least enough so I'm not embarrassed to share some photos. Originally I just sort of threw everything together and closed the door. I didn't take pics of the bare case, as I wasn't planning on posting a work log - they are available in the link above if you're interested. which is probably why it's not too popular - and many people don't want a door. It's from Lian Li's Silent Series and is marketed as a midtower, but it's plenty large. I came across the Lian Li PC-A20, but could find little info on it. Was looking for a case to air cool an i7 / 920 build with the main criteria being noise control, decent air flow, potential room for future water cooling, and it needed to be 'mature' (as in, rather boring - no bright lights, no fancy windows).
