[@Cryemoar]

Own 2 of the original compact O11s, they’re great cases, but I’m glad it finally got a refresh. It was starting to feel dated when I bought the second one for my last build, especially with all the newer dual chambers that come out due the popularity of the O11. The changes they’ve made are all done well & thankfully it’s no longer limited to SFX PSU’s. Can’t wait to pick this one up. Great vid & build as always 🤌

[@chrismcmurray3074]

I love your videos! I'm not in a place yet where I'm ready to build my PC but, I find your videos both informative and soothing. I love to have your videos on while I work. It helps me to learn about different cases and set-ups and when I finally get ready to build my PC, you can bet I will revisit your videos so I do it "the right way 'round'! hahaha. Thanks so much for all you do!

[@epicurus8431]

Question: I'm thinking of using the Lian Li Galahad II LCD AIO and adding the LCD Uni fans on top of the rad (buying the triple pack). I will also be using normal Uni fans around the case (at least 5). Will I need to use both Lian Li controllers (AIO & Triple pack) when building to link these all up to L connect?

[@doubleoog8181]

WoW, it looks fantastic; great job. How are the temperatures? I almost went with the Vison in July but opted for the NZXT H9 Elite for the top-mount fans.

[@UKMadMike]

Was looking at doing this for my next build. However don't aio manufactures recommend the pump hoses not to be installed the way you did it to stop air locks. (Damaging pump) better to be installed top mount ?

[@Chasing835]

Thanks for the video. That case looks really nice, but I have a RM1000X Shift PSU, and with the way the PSU is installed, I'm not sure it would fit since the connectors would be at the top.

[@rippraise2254]

I’m torn on these fans vs the newer slv2. I know the Slv2 is a little bit stronger when it comes to cooling the radiator but is it by a noticeable margin? I’m going with reverse blades and I’ll have 3 cooling my galahad 2 AIO. How are these in terms of reliability months later as well? Also, thanks for all of your help. Your in depth build video gave me the confidence to actually try to build my first rig. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

The SLs are technically superior I think but I personally find the Infinity fans nicer looking and quieter. Also, in terms of longevity, most of the fans you see in the video are harvested out of my main build that I use daily and have been using since they launched. So they're fine!

[@f0rmula0ne1]

Hello! Recently came across your channel and has become one of my favourite KZbin channels. I'm building a PC for the first time using this case. I'm looking at buying the Lian Li Galahad II LCD AIO cooler. I'm trying to find out whether I need to replace the fans that come with that with reverse fans, or whether those that come with the AIO will suffice? Your video here has 6 reverse fans but not sure what I need to purchase. Can you assist please?

[@since2]

I'm new to pc building as well, but this is what I understand. For this vision case, the optimal airflow seems to be side&bottom intake air, and back exhaust. And to set the fans to intake air, you can either use normal fans but make them face the reverse direction (this wouldn't look as nice since you would be looking at the back sides of the fans), or use reverse fans as you mentioned. So for optimal airflow AND a nice looking fan setup, you would need 3 reverse fans on the side, 3 reverse fans on the bottom, and 2 normal exhaust fans on the back. AFAIK, the fans that come attached to the radiator for Galahad are normal exhaust fans, so you can either install the fans so that their back sides are facing front, or just replace them with 3 reverse fans. Personally, I plan on replacing the default fans with the reverse fans, and then install 2 of these 3 default fans on the back of the case, for exhaust. So my total purchase is 1 Galahad lcd 360, 6 reverse fans (leaving 1 exhaust fan as a spare). Hope this helps! If someone else can verify this it would be very helpful for me also :)

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

You can just flip the fans over on the rad so you see the back and that'll be intake. I only used reverse blade because it looks nicer.

@@TheProvokedPrawn Excellent, thank you. I mean now you say its down to aesthetics, I'm obviously going to replace them with reverse fans!
