Lian Li O11 Vision Review - the good and the bad and the beautiful?

Prawn here with my review of the Lian Li O11 Vision. This is another great case from Lian Li that includes more glass than usual and some of the same flexibility that we've seen before with previous cases. It's not quite as modular but that certainly doesn't mean it's not good.
In this video I'm talking about my experiences building in the Lian Li O11 Vision and the things to keep in mind if you're planning on getting it and building in it. The build options are a bit more limited than other cases. For example, if you want a 360mm radiator then you can only really side mount it. If you want a 240mm radiator, then you need the motherboard in low mode, which leads to messier cables and other things. You'll see what I mean. Subscribe for the full build guide.

[@delsere7095]

I don't quite understand the prawn costume but you have an unmatched talent for showcasing PC products and builds. Its so difficult to capture the lighting effects of RGB with video and yet your videos literally look as though I'm in your room, viewing your build in person. Kudos to Lian Li for continuing their leading edge attention to detail, no one in the industry quite does it like they do either.

[@sto_yt]

The channel name is "The Provoked Prawn" …what’s not to understand?

[@Omega-EP]

@@sto_ytThe provoked what now?

[@HarrisonSiegel]

Thank you, Mr. Prawn. I have learned a lot by watching your videos. Just built an O11 Dynamic Evo after watching your many guides. Fantastic case, I would have gotten the Vision but I ordered the case before this came out.

[@ankursharma1461]

Your reviews and builds are unmatched.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

You are too kind.

[@MrVoayer]

Despite lacking space for fans Lian Li Vision Case has its appeal. Removable motherboard tray, separata HDD trays, easier way to mount power supply.... are just a few of them. And See Through from the top makes it all especially attractive ! Great new case for those who steer away from cooking high temperatures !

[@normanosland8693]

great informative video as always..... after the Computex reveal of this case I wanted one, I would have killed for one (not really ;) ), despite having just purchased the NV7, however... Lian-Li took far too long bringing this to market and in the time it took them, I have decided to stay with the NV7 (have put in the internal screen etc), but this informative review has confirmed to me that I made the right choice, thank you as always.....

[@iHaveTheDocuments]

I've been waiting for this case. I'll be getting one.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

👍🏼 what do you think you'll build in it specs wise?

[@iHaveTheDocuments]

​@@TheProvokedPrawn NZXT motherboard, N7 b550 7900XT 5600x CPU "good enough until I update to AM5" 850W psu 16 gigs ram.

[@iHaveTheDocuments]

I'm thinking the black version with slightly tinted glass looks best here. It's what they used on the promo tour and I think that's for a reason. It just looks great in that spec

[@a.m.g.r7804]

Love the overview and attention to detail. Your costume was the cherry on the top. First time watching because I was looking into getting the vision but wanted to checkout more Reviews. Subbed. Perhaps you can reposition your channel as The Provoked Tech Prawn.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it

[@fallenlegion1828]

Losing top mounting is pretty major and only gaining a glass top? I guess it might be cool if your the kind of person that puts your case under your desk or something. I prefer my pc sitting on my desk in full view though. Either way, another great review Prawn. Not many people give us such detailed reviews. Thank you for all your hard work 😁

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks. I must admit I prefer Lian Li's other cases. But this actually might be more user friendly because it has less options 😂

[@fallenlegion1828]

@TheProvokedPrawn after watching your video on the xl I bought it and im super happy with it. Though I have a pretty standard layout. I just lowered the mobo tray so I could fit 2 exhaust fans. It's a great case though

[@kevinbridle1831]

I'm sure if it sells well they will add a bigger one which would be far more practical, lovely case, looks good in Black as well but maybe a little bit of style over substance.

[@RollingTaro]

the lcd showing the temps is very convenient

[@simple.chan2006]

Shipping these could be a nightmare haha

[@flflam]

@TheProvokedPrawn, for a mid-range CPU & GPU system like the one here with the fan configuration (3x120 bottom intake, 3x120 side intake, 2x120 rear exhaust which doubles as the AIO radiator) , how are the temps and airflow? Would the hot air from the GPU blowing into the radiator be small enough of an issue?

[@flflam]

Awesome video, thank you! 9:45 great tip about the 240 radiator at the rear needing to flip the top PCIe bracket. In the "low" mobo position, would the graphics card use the top two PCIe brackets (which would include the one that's flipped over to accommodate the 240 radiator), or the 2nd and 3rd?

[@TheSjuris]

2nd and 3rd or 4th depending on how big the graphic card.

[@martintheiner5779]

First of all i wanna thank you for all the guides and videos you have on your channel since im planning to build my first pc soon. im torn between the evo and vision case and since its not avalaible here yet i still have some time to choose :) i wanted to ask you about your opinion which case might be better for a first timer (im not planning on using super high end stuff so the cooling with a 2x120 rad and the other fans should be still plenty enough i guess also in the smaller vision case. also i was wondering if you can move around the front panel i/o of the vision case aswell similiar to the evo where you can put the i/o on the side of the case.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

The Evo is more flexible and would be my choice. Though the Vision is easy to build in as you can see from my guide.

[@vanzahn]

Definitely considering this beaut for my new build but I'm concerned about cooling due to the solid glass top panel, even though I'm planing aio liquid cooling and fans in the exact same config you've built here , however I'm slapping a 4080 super in too. How is yours performing, temp-wise and could you give your opinion on how this case would perform with slightly higher overall GPU temps?

[@Maradiaga23]

I just got this case and have a 4080 in it, with 3 140mm Noctua fans blowing fresh air from the bottom to cool it down. Temps aren't amazing tbh, it sits at around 70°C while playing Helldivers and Cyberpunk (tbf I'm not running any fans over 60% to keep things relatively quiet)

[@BADcharacter303]

I have a question? can i fit a gigabyte aorus master x670e 30.5mm in the Lian Li o11 vision case (28mm) case. Is over lap bad?! Any help would be great!

[@HarrisonSiegel]

Do you think a 4090 can fit in this case, Mr. Prawn?

[@theprince6590]

Can you tell me the temperature while playing in ultra settings ?

[@PhenomenalNFT]

Good review! However, I couldn't find any build with push-pull AIO setup. Could you recommend some guide to me?

[@PhenomenalNFT]

360mm side AIO*

[@m7sn638]

simple question can you mount the gpu vertically in low mode ?

[@KingKxizen]

Im stuck between getting this or the o11 RGB. I think this looks better but I'm planning to get a 4090 and 7950x3d, and im worried about the potential temp issues I could get if I picked the Vision over the RGB. Is it worth the risk? Would you recommend I go for the o11 RGB instead? The lack of top mount scares me even though it looks good...

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

I'd personally pick the Evo RGB. The cooling performance will be better kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ2wpmSIr6yNarc

[@cemsengul16]

Is this case nice and quiet since it has 3 glass panels? I have a Lancool 3 now but find it really loud.

[@vanillacube8159]

is there only one dust filter (at the bottom?)

[@jarchuleta03]

Does the lian vertical gpu kit fit in this case can’t seem to see which one does

[@theprince6590]

Can I use the MSI motherboard God like max ?

[@Philautia_]

Is there enough space for 140 fans in low mode? I only need 3 more fans but I am not sure if 140 will still fit down there

[@mrysl926]

Yes

[@JackTotGaming]

hmm, about to do a new build and now torn between this or the Phanteks NV5, any thoughts?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

I've not seen a Phanteks case yet so can't comment. Sorry.

[@stokedGSXR]

h6 flow baby!

[@MrJrboss1]

I'd do xl over vision but that's just personal preference as I'm not liking the look of the phantek nv5

[@AphillyatedYT]

the little silicone grey things that hides the wires if you want to lower the board where are they i cant find mine

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

They are an additional purchase apparently

[@lazyturfbattler]

can be a alternative to the h9 or y60, but the airflow dosent look nearly as good which is why ill be choosing the y60 over this for my build. the inability to mount the rad at the top is also a shame

[@stokedGSXR]

forget the y60 now that the h6 flow is out!

[@lazyturfbattler]

@@stokedGSXR I prefer the side panel of the y60 and the vertical gpu mount included. I bought a spectral white 7800xt with $60 shipping and $50 taxes for a reason

[@TheSjuris]

@@lazyturfbattler that’s about all the gpu you can fit in that case without having heat issues. Get better temps with the vision case over the y70.

[@lazyturfbattler]

@@TheSjuris the new y70 without the touch screen is out, it can fit a 4090, which is why I’ll be upgrading soon

[@TheSjuris]

@@lazyturfbattler yes it is out and yes the vision has lower temps.

[@shawn3595]

Not sure if i like a white or a black build

[@raynathanielcaparas8064]

I dont think temps are too bad. Sff builds fet away with just a couple of fans...

[@Luckynapoletano]

I would like to know about the airflow with that case please with config -asus rog strix 4090 -i9 14900k Etc..im hesitating between the o11 vision and the o11d evo rgb and the nzxt h9 elite if someone can advice me about thank you guys 🙏🏼

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

If I was you with that setup I wouldn't go for the Vision. The airflow isn't as good. If you really want to. I'd suggest a 360mm rad on the side, with fans set to intake and the bottom fans as intake, then two 120mm fans on the rear as exhaust. Not ideal but better than the setup I used, because an i9 runs really hot.

[@user-hl7lx8ds7t]

NICE

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks

[@4dchessplayer516]

How long until your pump dies? taking bets

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

It's not the highest point. That's where the problem lies ...

[@spayrex_]

But why is it not invertable 😭😭

[@RailgunNZ]

I assume the Evo RGB case will be when it gets released.

[@jsmagamer2987]

the rad is upside down ! mmm

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

The pump is not the highest point, so it doesn't matter.

[@mypowerchannel3872]

Evo xl look better

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

yes

[@user-hm9ui9lq2k]

リアに排気ラジエーター置くのは、冷却能力落ちそう。私なら、側面に吸気360mmラジエーター、ボトムに吸気ファン140mm*3、リアに排気ファン120mm*2付けるけどね。トップにファンつけられないだけ、普通のケースより通気悪そう。まあ見た目重視のケースですね。

[@druout1944]

Lian li has the worst case directions in the history of pc cases

I dont like it :(
