Lian Li O11D EVO with EKWB Reflection2 PC Build - AMD 5900x - RTX 3080

[@log1cal_]

What a build. Love seeing o11 water builds.

[@BrazenBob]

Same case and distro combo I'm planning on getting... can't wait

[@KayBot.]

Can i have the link to the distro panel plz i am looking for it for so long and cant find it

[@rickbarker4467]

Room for a rad in the bottom and on the side, save the top for exhaust.

[@maconebk]

Thats looks amazing!

[@kenrosenberg6778]

fire build

[@FULLxTIMExHITMAN]

Nicely done

[@javierc4683]

he only used 1 radiator on the top ? or did he use more than 1 ?

[@pavelist1985]

Perfect job

[@gymandmusic3]

perfect!!!!!!!

[@scorpius1827]

Hey mate, I assume you used some sort of RGB hub for all the EKWB rbg cables? or did you have enough rgb headers on your motherboard?

[@ShiftdModz]

I used a EKWB rbg splitter cable for the EK parts and the Lian Li uni fans all run off 1 uni fan controller

[@Bondy2010]

Can I ask what this cost to build? I know prices can vary for parts, but just roughly or even a range. Thanks.

[@ShiftdModz]

It was around $6.5k aud at the time. PC parts are a little cheaper now I think

[@jeffstrains4014]

I notice you have a collar around that Distro plate, Is that something custom? I am debating on just drilling a hole in the glass on my build. Thanks

[@ShiftdModz]

Collar? The distro is stock from EKWB, no drilling required.

[@jeffstrains4014]

I looked at that wrong, I thought you had a custom gromet if you will around that distro block to use in place of glass. I have that same block and am getting a company cut me a piece of glass drill a hole and temper it so I can leave the the drain in @@ShiftdModz

[@ShiftdModz]

@@jeffstrains4014 ah right, im not using the front panel glass where the distro is as I'm using one of the external ports on the distro for the drain valve as its way easier to use than the one on the inside

[@gerardomoreno8832]

Nice build

[@the9prince]

Lian Li fans dont have reverse blade models?. i think the intake should be reverse blades to look cleaner.

[@ilikegamesandtech6712]

EKWB system configurator says my ASUS RTX4090 TUF won't fit in my Lian Li Dynamic Evo Case... I've seen them installed out of the box, let alone the size reduction you get from pulling that phat cooler off and strapping it into a EK Quantum Vector block..

[@ShiftdModz]

If you are going to put a block on the 4090 then it will fit in anything. But I will say, the regular 011d evo case is smaller and tighter than I thought. Would go the XL case if I could do it again.

[@expert8665]

I have a 4080 strix which is the biggest there is along with the 4090. It fit in my lian li 011.

[@troyhunter4740]

looks good, any chance of a parts list? .. im interested in the size of the extender fittings from the CPU block to match up with the distro plate.

[@ShiftdModz]

I'm using EK quantum 28 extenders and EK quantum 90s on the CPU block. The GPU I used some offset rotary fittings to make them line up.

[@ilikegamesandtech6712]

Did you use 2 Coolstream PE 360 Radiators? I can see 2 rads in there.

[@ShiftdModz]

Nope, I only use 1 PE 360 radiator mounted in the top. I was actually going to install a slim 360 radiator in the bottom as well but my flow indicator is in the way. GPU temp is 45-50c and CPU is 50-55c under gaming load so it works fine.

[@xThree65x]

I am currently working on a build like this myself. And when I got my FTW 3080 in I noticed that there was no way I could run a straight line to the inlet and outlet. What fittings are you using to get yours lined up? Also did you use push in fittings for the top radiator? If so how in the world did you get them in?

[@ShiftdModz]

@@xThree65x I used a combination of angled and offset EK fittings to get the gpu pipes lined up with the distro. I could only use one push in fitting for the top rad as it was the only one that lined up. FTW 3080? RIP evga :( and probably RIP EK

[@anupamkumar1478]

Can we connect or join Ekwb reflection2 distro plate and Ekwb d5 tube(circle) reservoir??

[@donsterlai]

I am just about to build one, for the side, is there any space to mount another radiator on the back ? I am thinking of a 360mm rad. Or 3 fans is enough?

[@ShiftdModz]

Yes, you can fit a 360 rad on that side mount. But if you mount a rad and fans to the top then it will be a bit tight but can work.

[@chrisvfit]

I'm looking forward to buy the same fans, but I see that the center of the fans is wobbly 3:52, 3:59. It appears like that only on video, or is it real?

[@ShiftdModz]

When the fans are running low speed like sub 1000rpm then they wobble a bit but they don't wobble when they speed up.

[@BlackDoGTv]

Very cool bro ❤❤

[@MarcosRodrigues-hg3nj]

what is the pad you use bellow the case? very nice build

[@ShiftdModz]

Cheers mate. Gamers Nexus anti-static modmat.

[@Lauropaistech]

Good job amazing

[@danilostopic1366]

hey, really cool build ! could you maybe explain how you connect all that EKWB with argb on your motherboard? or are you using something like corsair commander? Thank you

[@ShiftdModz]

I use a EKWB drgb splitter cable to connect the all EK parts to one argb header. All the Lian Li fans connect to one controller box and that connects to another argb header. Hope that helps.

[@danilostopic1366]

@@ShiftdModz thank you!

[@andrewbako9494]

building a 4090 13900k water cooled with the fog coolant - looks SO good!!

[@KlassexGaming]

Sick build bro! I have an o11 evo also and looking to do a similar build. What all fittings did you use to get this beast up and running? This will be my 1st custom loop and just trying to learn everything. Thanks. :)

[@ShiftdModz]

Cheers mate. All the fittings are EK quantum torque and if you don't want to do any bends then generally each port will require a 90 degree fitting. I tried to use just push-in adapters for the radiator but the old coolstream rad doesn't line up exactly with the reflection2 distro. I also had to use some offset fittings for the vector1 gpu block for the same reason. Spend the time to research out what fittings you think you need and get spares is all I can say 👍

[@jerryb19531953]

Nice build. First time seeing a water build in action. How often do you have to change it?

[@ShiftdModz]

EK recommends to replace the coolant every 6 months.

[@quantino1611]

hey, I just ordered the exact same case i have asus rog strix z790-f motherboard and was wondering weather it will fit nzxt z73 on top with all of the rest fans in total of 10fans including nzxt z73 being on top or my motherboard is going to block 1 fan thats on the right side? i would be very happy to know.

[@ShiftdModz]

Not really sure but high probability it will be fine. I'm using a EK 360 PE rad at the top with fans which is the thick 40mm rad and it clears the MB. There is space to install a single 120 exhaust fan but I just chose not to install it

[@quantino1611]

@@ShiftdModz thanks!

[@BravoSix09]

Quick question; How many degrees of temperature difference between this open loop and an aio?

[@ShiftdModz]

A CPU 360 aio will keep the CPU a couple of degrees cooler than this loop as it's only cooling the CPU whereas this loop is cooling both the CPU and GPU.

[@BravoSix09]

@@ShiftdModz thank you

[@napssleeps]

what fittings did you use to connect the top radiator directly to the distro plate?

[@ShiftdModz]

I used the EK quantum torque push in fitting... It's the old radiator model so it didn't exactly line up with the distro so I only used one push in fitting

[@KayBot.]

Will this work for a: zotac gaming geforce rtx 3070 ti? And can i have the link for the waterblock

[@ShiftdModz]

Not sure mate. If you mean a zotac 3070 water block then I guess so. All the EK parts were sourced directly from EK online shop.

[@Дикунець]

What is the point of water cooling if there is only one radiator for both the processor and the video card. The main thing is to be beautiful and don't care about the temperature

[@jwilsnach]

Is this the o11 evo xl or just the evo dynamic?

[@ShiftdModz]

Just the regular 011d evo

[@zalim9413]

Что врать, жидкостная система охлаждения на трубках выглядит красиво. Но есть недостаток. Вот захочешь поменять термопасту и всю эту красоту необходимо сливать и раскручивать, а потом обратно скручивать и заливать жидкость, да так чтобы ни где не протекало. Очень не практично!

[@sirdrp6982]

What is the purpose of that bridge you made on the distro plate ? Planning a similar build and am just curious. Thanks

[@ShiftdModz]

I'm not using a bottom radiator so I bypassed one of the outlets. A bottom radiator was a little tight and this build only needs one radiator anyway. Both CPU and GPU run around 50c when gaming

[@sirdrp6982]

@@ShiftdModz makes sense! thanks for answering!
