15 Tips for PC Builds with Lian Li PC O11 Dynamic XL

[@dtog33]

One of the best trending water-cooling PCs ever is the Lian Li 011 dynamic series. Really great case.

[@STechV]

Agreed.

[@stetson999]

I’m starting a build with this case tomorrow night. Extremely helpful info - thanks!

[@STechV]

Glad it was helpful!

[@wolphin732]

The EK-Quantum Torque Drain Valve would work without needing the extender at all and is much shorter and doesn't need the pump to be moved.

[@AMF1]

Just purchased this case and distro plate, so video was very useful Thank you, Ady

[@STechV]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kandyrew]

great video. The problem with ek’s front distro plate is that it does not allow enough clearance for fans to be mounted in front of the side mount. If you want fans in that position you’ll need to install them in the back side of the chamber, which will work fine but imo doesn’t look as good

[@STechV]

Absolutely correct. I completely forgot to mention that in the video. Thanks a lot for highlighting it. When you mount the fans in the backside, you won't be able to get the max out of the ARGB effects. But, no effect on the airflow.

[@Zzafari7]

holy shit i found your channel again after 2 years, i used to watch you back during season 2 of apex

[@JackilusMaximus]

@@STechV So, I guess if you are running the front distro plate you can run three intake fans on the bottom, one intake on the back, and three exhaust on the top?

[@synnair]

@@JackilusMaximus thats correct. But I would actually use the fan on the back for exhaust aswell...

[@devadavey]

@@STechV Would the front mounted distro plate be big enough to hide some brown Noctua fans?

[@cabincontrol]

I've build in the same case. Loving it. Just air cooled for now, but will design a custom loop later down the road. A couple of things to point out from your build. Some are just nit-picking. 1. I know you addressed this a little, but the air you have coming into the case from the bottom is still going to be heated by the radiator a bit and then being pumped into the case. Not the best start for air flow. I'd have installed the front distribution plate you talked about and had the second rad also pushing out but from the back. Then just have 3 fans on the bottom pulling cold air in. 2. You should also remove the dust filter from the top as it restricts the air being pushed through the top radiator and isn't needed as the air is being push out, not pulled in. 3. Great tip in removing one of the drive bays. I've done this too. For as much room as there is in the back, having more space for cables is always good. I have 10 rgb fans, so 20 cables, 2 controllers and one hub needed to go somewhere. 4. Regarding the front rgb strip. I have an Asus Strix mb and at first couldn't get it controlled through that. I have most of my fans controlled through Corsair icue. To get the front strip to work in icue, I had to get a customs cable adapter and program it as 3x10 rgb strips. Works like a charm. Great video.

[@STechV]

Thank you for watching and the comment too. Really appreciate. 1. I already purchases my G1 distro plate before knowing about the front distro plate. And, it's not that easy to setup side back radiator. It has very limited space and very low headroom for tubing. But, it's be nice. And, the bottom radiator doesn't generate much heat. So, I'm still OK with pulling air through it for now. Worst case, I can add the back case fan for extra fresh air. 2. That I can agree. I let it be there as my temps were still OK. 3. Yeah. I also have two fan hubs and two ARGB hubs. Both are stick to the back cable concealing ( and extra HDD ) panel. It's pretty good and organized, but I've to remove all the cables if I wanna remove that panel 4. Yeah. casing's RGB controller circuit has extra port for ARGB connection. If you can get the adapter sorted, you can easily use it. Cheers,

[@file1man]

what, specifically, custom cable adapter did you use fpr the asus strix mobo did you use in the lian li 011 xl case to work its from rgb strip thru the corsair icue

[@cabincontrol]

@@file1man don't know if I'm allowed to share links, so I'll just tell you. Search ebay for "Corsair RGB to Standard ARGB 3-pin 5V Adapter (MALE)", for lighting node Pro and commander Pro. Connect it from the cable coming off the control box inside the case, to (in my case) the commander Pro. In ique, set it up as 3 x 10 led strip. Then set the profile up to be something easily distinguishable and press the cycle profiles button on the from of the case until you see the profile you set up. Job done.

[@STechV]

Thank you Ben for the help and support. Yeah. That would work with your iCue. But I'm using a simple "Cooler Master ARGB splitter (passive)" to connect all my ARGB devices with two ARGB headers I've in the motherboard ( Since I don't have iCue )

[@Walhor]

Thanks for the ARGB hint. I had no idea how to control it until now

[@STechV]

Glad I could help.

[@WH7.]

how can i control it ? i have msi z490 gaming plus motherboard

[@Walhor]

@@WH7. you put the 3 pin argb cable into your motherboard and then cycle until you get to the one you can select with software and then use msi rgb software to do so

[@bennyboy68695]

If you use the front distro plate can you still mount the GPU vertical and have a bottom rad ? I assume not

[@STechV]

Yes you can. Thickness of rads may, the "pipe work" little more complicated. But still it's possible. There a plenty of builds I've seen with that same setup.

[@WRSTxPumbaa]

Very nice video. The air bubble in the distro plate bugged the hell out of me every time I saw a build of the o11dxl.

[@STechV]

Thank you and same here. Problem is, in first few weeks, no matter how many times you top up, micro bubbles will be collected on top of the reservoir and create a small bubble.

[@dirtvalle]

I think the Bottom radiator can be bigger if you just move up your mounting bracket up two more slots

[@STechV]

We cannot move the vertical GPU bracket up without making it unstable. It fits to the exact same place, not anywhere else.

[@dirtvalle]

So I bought a 60mm Radiator do you think it will work? I mean the gpu mount has holes in it (the bracket slots) and it only cover 1,5 fans

[@STechV]

you meant to mount the vertical GPU mount to on the fans ? You can try, but it won't be stable. Best option is, you can go for the EKWB's vertical GPU mount. You can move it little more further up. Or you can mount your GPU horizontally.

[@benta00]

If you install distro plate on the front you won't have space for radiator and fans on the side because of the distro plate pump. So you can install only fans in the internal part of the side

[@STechV]

Thank you for the correction. Just wondering, since internal side has 55mm, can't we install a EKWB SE 360 (slim triple) which has 28mm thickness with fans (25mm) all inside ?

[@benta00]

@@STechVI don't know. I only know the distro plate pump takes the place of the central side fan.

Oh. That's too bad. I also cannot guarantee how easy to fit the rad and fans ( in the internal chamber part ) with front distro plate. Technically it should be possible to do.

[@ZoneProduction448]

Great tips. will the Vertical mount fit into the Lian Li Dynamic?

[@STechV]

Yes it is. But careful on the gap it'll leave in the bottom. There won't be much space for a bottom radiator.

[@ZoneProduction448]

@@STechV Thanks. Also, can the mount be vertically moved up to allow clearance for the radiator?

[@STechV]

LianLi vertical mount is not possible to move up or down. If you want a vertical mount with better clearance, you can go for EKWB's vertical GPU holder.

[@heeku_]

I think you are wrong about the E-ATX extra support item, it's not a must, prbably only for the specific rog dominus extreme, I have seen many z390 maximus xi extreme users without the support bracket. Consider checking it so people who watch this will understand it. Thanks for the nice video of course : )

[@STechV]

You're correct. This was highlighted by another viewer as well. So, I've already mentioned it in the video description. That extension panel is just for EEB motherboards. Thank you for highlighting it.

[@rajeshkannan_s]

Quick question - can you install the vertical mount in the top 5 slots instead of bottom 5 slots?

[@STechV]

Unfortunately you cannot install this GPU vertical mount anywhere else that this place. But, if you go for a EKWB's vertical GPU holder, you'll get that freedom.

[@johncena5162]

One Question It Has Two USB 3.0 connector but most motherboarfs have one usb3.0 headers is there a way we can connect the second USB 3.0 connection to the motherboard by using some sort of adapters help will be appreciated

[@STechV]

There are USB 3.0 Y splitter cables are available to purchase. But, I kept it disconnected as splitters shares the data channel and USB ports I had ( front and back ) were more than enough for me.

[@Galactic-Bulge]

Need the same thing with lian li o11 dynamic (not xl)

[@STechV]

It's also a great casing. But mind the dimensions when picking radiators.

[@BadGamerLP]

Cool build, I actually want to copy it. But won't the overall heat in the case warm up the water to much for the CPU in the top radiator?

[@AJ-bi6ns]

It’s a complete loop, both rads cool the loop. With the top fans pushing out it’s safe to say there’s good air turnover in the tank, minimal impact on heat of loop.

[@STechV]

If you have a good airflow inside the casing. It actually not an issue.

[@revolutionaries007]

Hi I loved you video's . I am making a build with thi full tower from li -lian exact case ... I was wondering how much did that water cooling kit cost as I am trying a very similiar build with a 3080 ... I never did water cooling from scratch. (would buy them sealed) I been building PC's for 26 yrs now and I am ready to water cool the whole thing like you did... that was such a great video ... I just need to see how much that water cooling kit you installed will set me back financially. thank you for answering me. Cheers P.S.I didnt order the case yet, do you think this full Tower is a great case for water cooling as I have a strict budget. cheers again

[@STechV]

Hi Danny, Thank you. For watercooling parts for this system has listed in this video ( description ) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWSTk6Cvg5hoj5Y For this setup, it was cost around USD1000-1250 for me. But, prices may vary depending on the shipping cost and the tax. with regards to the casing, it's good to choose a case that is watercooling friendly. So, it won't be much complicated and save some budget when routing pipes and placing radiators.

[@andreasdinnebier4808]

Hey there - cool Insider-Video! A question regarding the vertical gpu Adapter. By using this are the hdmi/Displayport-Connections without any Problems possible?

[@STechV]

Thanks. Yes, all ports can access from outside without any issue. And it's neat and clean too. No open holes or anything.

[@creativestarfox]

I wonder what your thoughts are on the new Lian Li Uni Fans.

[@STechV]

I think they are pretty awesome and easier with fan/argb cable management. Air pressure also good so they'll work better with radiators too. But, as the disadvantage, it need their software to manage.

[@samihamouri]

15:15 , how is warm water coming out of your gpu if its not waterblocked ?

[@STechV]

My apologies. The question is not quite clear to me. You need to know the temperature of the water going to the top radiator if GPU is not watercooled ? If yes, It'll be +2 to +5 degrees than the room temperature.

[@cuneytrozdemir]

if you are doing exhaust from the top, do you still need radiators?

[@STechV]

Yes, It's always better to have a radiator on top. Specially, it looks nice with distro plate. Since my GPU is also watercooled, top radiator doesn't get that much of warmer airflow.

[@gotcha2343]

Great video! If you later integrate your graphics card into the system, do you have to empty the whole system beforehand?

Yes, exactly. But, since I'm going to use the same coolant variant, just draining the coolant and re-fill is sufficient.

You can go for shorter extenders like EK-Quantum Torque Extender Static MF 28. It's not a must to have, if you can bend the tube directly to the CPU block. ) EK-Quantum Torque Extender Rotary MF 14 : 1 unit ( for drain port valve ) If you're going to use PETG tubes, don't forget to buy, EK-HD PETG Insert 12/16mm (10pcs) : 1 packs And you'll need a ball valve for the drain port, EK-AF Ball Valve (10mm) G1/4 : 1 unit Nice to have items : Filling Bottle (1000mL) : 1 unit EK-Leak Tester : 1 unit EK-CSQ Plug G1/4 with EK-Badge : 1 unit ( for extra safety of the ball valve ) EK-HDC Fitting 16mm O-Ring (6pcs) & Outer G1/4 Fitting O-Ring (6pcs) (extra O-Ring packs) Clear soft tubes + 2 x matching barbed fittings ( to drain the system )

You're exactly correct. This motherboard has only one USB 3.2 G1 header. So, the bottom 2 USB ports aren't connected. Since the motherboard has 4 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports in the back, for me two front ports ware more than enough.

[@STechV]

For Lian Li O11D XL version, there are only limited front distro plate options to go. Among them, EKWB is the only distro plate I can recommend. If you really want to mount fans on side, you can install them from behind of the side fan panel. But it won't look nice as installing them on front.

Is there enough clearance to do push/pull on top with 25mm(fan)+38mm(PE rad)+15mm(slim fan)? Would adding a 25mm(fan)+60mm(XE rad)+25mm(fan) on the bottom be good or overkill for a 3090+5950x (light to medium OC)? Thanks! Subbed

[@STechV]

Yes you can. But it'll be too close to CPU power connectors. But,with good static pressure fans (e.g. EK Vardar), you can opt out from the push-pull setup. 3090+5950x will generate around 600W heat with medium OC. So, 2 x PE360 (500W) are more than sufficient for you setup. XE360 itself can provide up to 668W cooling power which is a overkill for your setup.

[@codhruv839]

which radiator is on the bottom? pe or se

[@STechV]

At the end SE360 (classic) is on the bottom.

Just a tip as you said you are waiting for a 3000 series GPU that have PCIe 4.0, just check your riser cable is suitable for PCIe 4.0, as i have seen some youtube videos off problems with vertical GPU 4.0 riser cables working and not working, just something that can be easily overlooked. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gajJcnlrjc-LmK8

There are PCIe 4.0 riser cables available in the market now. But, It's not mandatory as my motherboard still supports only PCIe 3. So, it doesn't matter even my riser cable supports only PCIe 3.

Apologies for the bad voice quality. I'm not an Indian btw. I'm in a middle of creating the subtitles for this video for more clarity.

Removing the pump from the distro plate will void the pump seal warranty.

[@STechV]

I think it's same as for waterblocks. Breaking the seal will void the leak-free guarantee. "The warranty is not rendered void on dis-assembly of the water block, but the customer loses the EK leak-free guarantee which comes with a factory tested water block"
