This case is TOO EXTRA for a basic build. Don't make the mistake I did! NEW Lian Li O11D EVO

[@Bitwit]

Forgot to mention the case is fully reversible, so you can flip the motherboard tray around and have the mobo on the right side, PSU on the left, etc. Kinda cool, but hardly unique. IMO you'll still need to run a custom loop & leverage more of this case's features for it to be worth the $179.99 US MSRP. Feel free to share your thoughts.

[@ChrisBrett2]

I mean you're paying for a high-end case. It feels like the design was rushed with oversight, it is still a good-looking case nonetheless.

[@zaphod4245]

It also seems as tho you couldn't use the upright mount for a watercooled gpu, as the inlet/outlet ports that protrude from the card wouldn't fit with the front panel on. I guess the EK 30 series FE blocks would be ok, but other than that, the block wouldn't fit

[@2000impalalsx]

So you can mount your GPU with the upright kit and the rad on "top" in the reverse setup. Then remove the plate for the back and 120mm on the side or the mesh front panel

[@CTTechGaming]

This may have been mentioned but in case you didn't know. the removeable plate on the case behind the GPU can be reversed which will give you much more room when mounting the GPU in the upright position

[@PitboyHarmony1]

The rear plate for the upright GPU, not the bracket but the plate itself ... is reversible. If you inverted that plate it would set over an inch further back in the chassis. That means that the bracket would also be set back, which means you wouldnt have had a problem with the rad up top, or fans, or be too close to a rad or fans on the bottom, and/or you could put a 240 rad on the front panel. The reversibility of that panel is key to the design ... I guess you missed that.

The problem is you didn't turn around the mounting plate that the GPU holder can bolt to. The front right side mounting plate not only can be changed but is reversable an moves it closer to the right outside panel giving you more room on the inside of the case to mount the top rad an fans. Looks like you rushed this build a little to get the review out.

Yeah and his assessment is just bafflingly dumb. "The average builder can't use this! It'd be a waste!" Why? It's not much more and if you have a GPU mounted normally, it'll be just as good as the tens of thousands of builds using other Lian Li 011's? Not onlt that but these cases as we know can even work with vertical GPU's too etc etc. There's no NEED to custom loop this at all, and he simply built this terrible. Liek this is a garbage build, if you showed me pictures of this and went "The verge built another terrible computer!" I'd believe it was the verge lol.

I've just received this case and it's an absolute gem. I've done a couple of builds in the past so no expert but this case can be utilised for a basic or advanced builders. It lets you customize in so many ways, including reverse, which if like me you need to switch the viewing side of your rig is a big deal - how was this an after thought?! Yes, inverting a case is not unique but to be done this well actually is. The negativity in this review is dumbfounding for a case this good - cable management, modularity, aesthetics all bang on the money. I was totally opened minded about choosing a case for my new build but after reading countless reviews I knew this was the one, I wasn't disappointed! This case was made for the community from listening and implementing their ideas. Great job Lian Li & Der8auer. Do yourself a favour & read/watch some other reviews before being put off by this one.

in a normal case with fans in the front, having a video card facing forwars (1 90* turn from original position) would be really optimal, this is why I like cases with fans on the bottom such as this one, pretty sure they snuck into my room and took my design though since I also put fans on the side....

[@PhilPhysix]

well to be honest this review seems rushed and not thought through. a lot of wrong explanations and the critics you took on the case all seemed like you did not have a clear thought on how to do things. GPU power for example: you could easily run the cables below/behind the gpu through the gromit directly to the psu. do you really complain about the temps when not even fitting the case with fans? why not put a 360 rad at the top and 3 fans at the bottom? it's like you actually try to make the case look bad. i hope you remake this review with a bit more thought behind it. yeah just feels like a not well made video. actually even a badly made video.

I can't really figure out why you were so set on mounting a 280mm AIO or 140mm fans at the top or bottom. Why not install a 360mm AIO at the top and some triple 120mm fans at the bottom? Then you wouldn't have clearance issues with the side mounted GPU. Furthermore, I'm pretty sure there is a way to mount the other side panel behind the GPU to mount fans. You just have to get creative. P.S. - PCIe 4.0 extension cables do exist on the market and would allow you to run that cable behind the motherboard for a much cleaner look

[@kasper_429]

3 things. #1: I'm pretty sure you're meant to use the fan bracket with the upright GPU mount so you'd have big, wide-open spaces (yeah!) to route the PCIe cables through. I could be wrong, idk. #2: IMO, the upright GPU bracket is just a gimmick and was clearly not thought through that well. It would look a lot cleaner if the riser cable was just a bit longer, so you could run it through the cable grommet right beside the GPU and then up through the bottom hole (if it were wide enough) where front panel connectors and fan/RGB cables would normally go. #3: I feel like 99% of people would just use the regular GPU/PCIe slots or the normally-vertical GPU mount that attaches where the PCIe slots are. The "upright" mount is just for show, IMO. Besides the things mentioned above, I love this case. They really improved on the design and the modularity is amazing.

[@playeronthebeat]

length of the riser cable is absolutely my biggest down side for this case as well. The rest is managable. This, however, is pure garbage. You could fit it easily through the grommets and below the motherboard. It just needs to have the appropriate length. Sadly, though, they didn't do that for the final version. :/ But still, I guess I'm gonna buy that case and that accessory... The case is just too much perfect for me and my use case. Maybe I'll find another riser cable or something that'd make this thing work like a charm!

[@normustafa87]

I recommend a 600 mm PCIe gen 4 riser cable.

You can use the fan bracket on the side to mount the upright GPU as well. So you'd have 3 exhaust or intake fans behind the GPU moving air. Lian Li advertises them to be exhaust fans.

[@timf2533]

If you did a custom loop in this case, could you fit a 240 rad with fans up top with the GPU in the upright configuration? Another thought would be with the GPU taking up the normal Pump/Res area you would almost need to go with a distro plate on the front, so you don't end up blocking the view of the GPU which again is kind of a main reason for going with this case.

[@JasonTaylor-po5xc]

I did a build with this case. I got a good deal at Micro Center in my area, so I got it over the XL (which was full price). Not a bad little build. I mounted the AIO Radiator (GA 2 Trinity 360) on top. Single fan set (not push/pull) blowing out. I mounted the GPU (2.5 slot) in the traditional location - no riser cables or other nonsense. 1 120 fan in the back blowing out (traditional). Bottom set of 3 fans intake. Side set of 3 fans intake. This is a 14700K with the RTX 4070 Ti build with the Avermedia PCIe capture card. All works really well. Looks pretty good to since I went with the Lian Li Uni v2 fans. System will be mainly recording, streaming, and light video editing. Specs are a bit overkill but got a nicer system because of BF specials and the PCIe capture card requires NVIDIA GPUs for 60fps capture - otherwise, I would have opted for the Intel Arc A770 and a lower end chip. I do agree, this case goes on a desk not the floor - which I true for any "showcase" PC case like the O11D series.

[@kevin1337ninja]

Just a quick question, isn't that AIO going to die quicker the way it's installed? Seems like air is going to be trapped in the pump.

The only way I see the riser cable working is if it was longer and you could route it behind the case. Problem is that if you could route it behind the case, you would be potentially blocking off PCIE slots. (if you go down) I honestly don't see a situation that the riser cable wouldn't look bad.

That vertical GPU mounting setup is yikes tho takes away almost all of your radiator, fan support

[@Matt-gf4gd]

I get where you're coming from, but I think it can be done to make it even more cooling efficient in vertical upright position given you get a much more efficient air stream in the unobstructed "chimney" cooling format where fresh air sucks in the bottom and straight up through the exhaust. Also you can get a slim 20mm radiator and slim fans and fit a 3rd radiator behind the vertical GPU. Just food for thought.

[@MoparMooser]

@@Matt-gf4gd there is some other dude on here that did a break down of thermals for different fan configurations, and no matter how you do it, mounting the GPU upright causes higher temps for the GPU and the entire case. The main reasoning is that those side mounts provide great airflow for a radiator and the gpu is blocking all of that space and pushing hot air off of the GPU into the center of the case. Obviously its normal for a gpu to do this, but this issue lies with the gpu covering a massive vent allowing air to only come in from the bottom and out the top. If the side is used as an intake radiator, then you’ll be pulling in air from the side and the bottom allowing for a bigger surface area for the air to flow. All that being said: if you like the upright design and your temps don’t get out of control, by all means go for it. I just don’t see very many people buying a case like this to NOT attempt to take advantage of the airflow

[@Matt-gf4gd]

@@MoparMooser I actually didn't notice much worse temps in the upright. You can still probably mount a radiator there as well.... There's plenty of space leftover, depending on your card... I'd say about 40-60mm behind the GPU. I tried different orientations and found that the upright position lowered my CPU temps and increased my GPU temps slightly, but not by much. I found an odd orientation seemed to work pretty well where I mounted a 140mm fan as intake behind the GPU in upright at the bottom and an exhaust 140mm at the top behind the GPU. Thermals seemed pretty good with that setup, though I could see using the whole side as intake unobstructed probably gives slightly better thermals. I'm intending to go custom loop water cooled though with a bottom and top 360 radiator, so it wouldn't be an issue. If you're doing all air cooled, then probably a few % less optimal, but for the trade off of aesthetics I still kinda like it personally.

Knowing what I know now, having barely finished a 4090 build with a vertical mount from coolermaster, I would not have gotten this case. The bottom mount fan mount especially being on a rail instead of it letting you screw it directly to the case has made the vertical mount installation barely feasible because it’s touching the fans due to the slightly elevated height. Then there’s the fact that online videos have had the old version being demonstrated, providing an inaccurate presentation, notably when taking out the case with just a pull whereas the new version actually has screws attached BEFORE you can pull it off. Ridiculously annoying build.

Good video, wrong build idea on that GPU. Traditional mount works best in this case and of course I always buy the mesh panels for the front if they offer it. I might splurge and get the newer EVO XL which fixes all these issues and is a nice step up from my lancool II mesh.

[@iSEKaiSG]

Heyy! Can you wall mount the LianLi O11D Evo? Or do u need a shelf?

[@YouDoneDidIt]

The plate the gpu is attached to did you flip it around so it's closer to the back panel? The gpu would go deeper into the case instead of sticking so far out. From what I also seen you can put 3 fans behind the gpu if mounted properly. I'd give it a go again with the gpu in that spot again.

[@Killshot15]

This case is going for about $200 bucks brand new and I just built my first pc but I only paid.$140 for a open box one and it was still perfect and still had all the stickers, didn’t even look touched well worth it.

[@FriedDoggy]

I think a cool theme for a custom loop build would be a a full black build in that case with clear red coolant.

[@daviniarobbins9298]

Radiator shouldn't be at the bottom of the case with the pump above it. You will have all the air in the pump which is bad. Better to fit the radiator to the roof or the side. Rookie mistake there. Hope you corrected that. Edit: Turn the case upside down. Not ideal but at least then the air will be in the radiator not the pump.

[@Garrettdx1988]

Kyle's ad spot almost convinced me my Barbosol, disposable razor, and Gold Bond combo aren't good enough.

[@WorldReserveCurrency]

Basically this was the worst build ever due to user error.

[@hadoukenocx4746]

Ah…Bitwit … Kyle ah bro...best setup on this case: bot 3x fans intake, Front mesh 3x fans intake, Top CLC exhaust, Side 3x Fans intake, Back 1xfan exhaust.

[@Gladicuss]

@BITWIT, Hello and nice to meet you. I just came across your channel and love it. You got your self a new subscriber! Excellent work my friend. I have one question I only trust you with the answer. What AIO water cooling kit would you recommend as being excellent build quality, what all you get with the kit, and how it performs with cooling. I have the same case and another one on the way. Can you please tell me which water cooling complete kit is all around the best kit you came across. Thank you and cheers from Missouri, U.S!

[@rory-red]

the PCIe riser is so black it blends so well with your motherboard i really didnt see it till you pointed it out.

[@dabneyoffermein595]

so if this case has its shortcomings, what newer state-of-the-art case can you recommend for me that is a snow white case that is at least a mid-tower (it can be a full tower if necessary for being great build quality). What about the new MASTER COOLER HAF-500? Looks good but cable management might be a bit interesting in the rear area. I'd like something that not loud as hell either. Money is not an issue , I'll pay whatever i have to pay for a case.

[@Hangar-zu8xg]

Theres shortcomings on the user end more than the case in this instance.

[@tylerm.9408]

When I first saw your completed build I thought you put an ITX motherboard in there, when you pointed out all the empty space at the top I realized that was why!

[@shootymcshootjr9338]

it would be great if you could vertically mount the GPU and still have fans mounted behind it for extra cooling, maybe a bottom mounted bracket instead to stop the GPU from wobbling?

[@Matt-gf4gd]

You can. At least with water-cooled cards I've seen guys mount a full radiator and fans (slim ones) behind the GPU.

[@JoeLeasure]

Definitely do a crazy custom build. Maybe try attacking another pcie riser cable to the existing one so you can hide it better somehow.

[@F41LZZz]

do we really want to see him do one? he's shown an insane amount of incompetence here

[@JoeLeasure]

@@F41LZZz Ooo, harsh. Yeah, this one was kinda sloppy, but I think he could do a decent custom loop if he spent some time with it.

[@F41LZZz]

@@JoeLeasure had a look through his builds. the pink and teal one is decent. he is certainly one of the tech youtubers that is where he is now (sub count) because he was one of the first. like jays2cents. they can't be taken seriously

[@JoeLeasure]

@@F41LZZz Different levels of ability displayed helps people with different levels of ability. I like seeing a whole range myself.

[@F41LZZz]

​@@JoeLeasure hey he's a character, and yeah im with you. he's created a brand, a image for himself and at the end of the day its 'entertainment.' but this was a review. a journlistic bit of material advising customers on a product. a review. his incompetence has shown this case in a unjust light. he has failed his viewers that trust him. why be ok with mediocrity? why defend him? this review was phoned in. it isn't even the bar minimum... testament to that is his pinned top comment

[@garyloader1416]

You're pump which needs to have liquid on it is the highest point in your AIO, When, over time your AIO coolant evaporates your pump will stop working. Fit your rad at the top of the case and you'll not have that problem.

[@loots_alots]

It might look better with the riser cable coming from the lower card slot, which some MB's run the same speed as the top slot. I guess it's not long enough to route through the back and down to the bottom slot. That said, this still looks like it's in the prototype stage. The space above the MB is big enough for a push and pull radiator setup or a fat radiator, which is a little strange. Just invert it for proper AIO orientation... Duh hehehehe

[@Snafu2346]

So just curious. But I don't even run the side clear panel on my PC's anymore. I just run a open side case. Its a bit more noise but it allows the air to vent out. Also, I often blow out the dust pretty often and I hate taking on and taking off the panel all the time, its not much work, but I just vacuum/blow it out.

[@barmanvarn]

I'm 5 minutes into this video and had to hit pause as UPS just showed up w/ my Lian Li O11D Dynamic that I ordered a week ago. I'd better not see something in the video that makes me want the EVO more. LOL

[@sonbroku1638]

I have an idea for a watercooled version. Phanteks makes an exhaust distribution plate, mate that with the front glass distro plate replacement, push on a regular 360 rad on side, beefy push pull on bottom rad, standard pull on topside. That being said, with the bottom and sides being push pull with larger rads, do you recommend keeping the tip exhaust as both other rads would be pushpulling intake or would you make side push pull exhaust, with top and bottom intake since I'm making the exhaust fan side a distro plate?

[@Bignasty41187]

I just got my Lian Li and it had no front panel cables attached to it and nothing coming from the power button...we're off to a good start with this build 🤣

[@frederickpolk]

Let's do an all Lian Li Redemption build with every possible Lian Li product you can throw into it. Except for AIO because it would have to be a custom liquid cooled. Also inverted layout too! Thanks for the video!

[@rayndooma5624]

That Bob Ross comment about my "junk" made me feel like I was personally attacked. Dayum Kyle, why you gotta do me like that LoL

[@sparkplugbarrens]

GFF Events used 2 thick 360 radiators at the top and bottom and a grafics card with water block in this configuration. Feels like there is some other less stressful way to mount it...

[@studog858585]

Some good planning and anything is possible

[@solusquinto]

Just a suggestion ... due to the fact that you can install an 240mm or 360mm Radiator on top in your setup, you shouldn't say "you can't install an Radiator while using the upright GPU bracket" (at min. 21:46). It's only true for the 280mm Radiator but not in general. It's a false claim.

[@brianng213]

This Evo and the Dynamic. Which is one is better looking? I don't need those extra features. Thank you guys.

[@TheSjuris]

They are going to look the same. This one is just a little bigger.

[@Dugoth]

Surprised they didn't let the upright GPU mount also be attached at the bottom instead of the top of the case. That would free up radiator clearance on the top a bit and allow the GPU power to come straight out of the slots at the MB. Would need to create a slot near the front for the PCI-E extension cable though

[@SuperHornetX]

How would you plug displays into it? You'd need to turn over the case every time.

[@Dugoth]

@@SuperHornetX The same way they do with the upright mount, it's not mounted flush to the top of the case but using an internal sort of pass through for the monitor cables
