The chimney effect causes warm air to rise to the top, where it escapes through the roof, which is also fitted with a dust filter. That’s still extremely good, again thanks to the bottom intake fans, just slightly above the HAF X and SL600M. For the vertical installation of a second graphics card a second riser cable is required, which is also available from Lian Li (GELI-822).

Still, the O11 Dynamic made an actually good air-cooled case thanks to the bottom intake and side intake options, so even though it looks best as an aquarium, it didn’t have to be one.The novelty of power supply shrouds is beginning to wear off for us: cases like the O11 and Dark Base Pro 900 v1 have so much more room to work with, and modular power supplies with good-looking cables that don’t need to be hidden are only becoming more common.

The Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL (ROG Certified) Midi Tower offers plenty of room for powerful gaming hardware. The front lighting effect can be controlled through the M|C buttons on the front; switch to the 8th mode you’ll be able to sync it with the motherboard.degrees, since the side fans move air more directly through the top of the case and the CPU cooler than the bottom fans can, especially with a large GPU blocking them. It ends up the best in GPU thermals for this reason, so what we really learn from all of this is that you should balance fan placement between the bottom and side. When it comes to installing AiO- or custom water cooling, the case has got you covered - up to three 360 mm radiators can be installed simultaneously: one in the roof, one in the bottom and one next to the motherboard.

Even the huge ROG Dominus Extreme EEB motherboard from Asus can be installed with the help of an additional accessory from Lian Li. The side panels and front panel all lift upwards and are held in place by the top panel, which must be taken off first.By accepting all cookies, you agree to our use of cookies to deliver and maintain our services and site, improve the quality of Reddit, personalize Reddit content and advertising, and measure the effectiveness of advertising. The three-fan test is more comparable to our old O11 results since they utilized the same type of fans, and 50. Details about the extent of our regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority are available from us on request.

Fractal and Lian Li are some of the first companies to really take advantage of not including space for 5. Putting the three Noctua fans in and setting them to 100% for our baseline and standardized fan testing put the noise level at 47. But the 4090 is a whole new beast in the size of case it requires, I have no doubt a lot of larger options will start appearing over the coming months.For clean cable management there are several partly rubberised cable bushings available, which are placed alongside other things on the middle plate next to the motherboard. For clean and tidy cable management, multiple rubberised cable pass-throughs are available in places such as along the edges of where the motherboard will be seated. WCUK Online Ltd is authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 824034) and acts as a credit intermediary. The toolless snaps found throughout the case are a less well-implemented quality of life improvement, but the idea behind them is good and we hope that Lian Li can work out a better solution (forget the latch on the top panel, engineer more durable snaps for the fan tray).
