Hey all
Two days ago I bought a new SSD for my games and storage for my main system
it's a Micron Crucial MX500 2TB SSD, and the Corsair Force 3 240GB is my C Drive and that was the SSD I used for the past 6 years, since games are getting bigger as well as Simulations and other things I Needed something beefy, and I know 1TB units are cheaper things is I only have space for 2 extra SSD's and 2TB was the minimum of space I wanted so I gave out some little extra and went for the best 2TB SSD I could get for my budget of 2250 euros, I paid 219 Eur incl shipping and yea Netherlands is never cheap but the service of Megekko is damn good that be true
So here is what I had to do to get this 2TB SSD in to my system:
It was kind of a pain to get in so I used a 5,25 to 3.5 incl convertor tray and in there a SSD tray that converts from 3.5 to 2.5 inches and voila it fits
Cable management in this Lian Li TYR PC-X2000B is a nightmare since it's a design case and around 200were made it has some flaws here and there but for us tweakers all have our ways around such things right :tomodel: As for the 2nd picture that shows the covers I placed to coverup the cable mess and yea I did remove that dust at the bottom
It's that I just made the shot before that lmao
After placing them covers back to place I cleaned this side as well and then applied the side panel to secure this part of the system:
Then I Decided to clean the front filter and the three 140mil fans , yes their blades from both sides of course
As the left image shows, you can slide in the filter in and out from top side, it's really a handy thought that Lian put to mind with this.
So even being a design case, Lian Li did do some helpful idea's with this case, the Lian Li TYR PC_X2000F was the actual production model of this case it has lots of fixes but one thing the F model lacks over the B model is no triple heatzone design, also cleaned the PC side of the case, the second image also shows the three heatzones this case has.
Zone 1 is for IO & PSU
Zone 2 is Mainboard & Cards
Zone 3 is for HDD's & Storage
After doing this I also cleaned the VGA card, the
Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX Vega 64 PCI-E 8GB 2048Bit HBM2 from 2017:

Display Port & HDMI outputs & angled side view
