To test the thermal performance of the Lian Li PC-Q30 we loaded our test system for 15 minutes using Prime95 and Furmark and recorded the maximum temperatures reached using CPUID Hardware Monitor. We then restarted the system and left it for 15 minutes before recording idle temperatures.
Room temperature was maintained at 20 degrees C for the duration of our tests.
We are fairly impressed with the cooling performance of the system, considering it actually only features one fan. It would be difficult to improve it by adding further fans, though, as none of the vents feature mounting points.
Absolutely beautiful, but I would be concerned about the discrete graphics card space. what is the maximum room in there for a GPU?
This or Bitfenix Prodigy? decisions, decisions. what do you guys think?
Funky! I’ve just ordered one, I’ll see if it fits in the living room :)… The drawback is the ports backplate facing upward the chassis. When all is wired it will have an different look, a somewhat “techno-sculpture” : with phosphorescent Water cooling tubing it could get that ugly… Maybe I’ll try to put an aluminum cover on top, perpendicular to the front panel’s curvature at that point (parallel to the ports backplate), maybe also on the sides so as to somewhat enclose and hide the backport (which would also protect the ports and wire headers). Bah I’ll see, It ‘l be as it goes!
