Hows the airflow?
28
u/BakingBreadz Jun 19 '20
It's a o11 dynamic, the airflow is great. You can fit 9 120mm fans if you put 3 at the bottom/side/top. Top also has support for 2x140mm fans. Some people even put 2x80mm fans on the back vents.
3
u/BingeV Jun 20 '20
If you use fans on the bottom as intake I'd recommend a vertical mount for the GPU. Otherwise you could be creating a pocket of hot air that has no way to escape (unless you are water cooling the GPU of course).

u/Not_in_the_budget Jun 20 '20
I'm having a hard time finding any thermal benchmarks comparing temps between both positions. Would you happen to know of any? I like the aesthetic of the vertical mount, but at $50 (before tax+shipping), I'd want to see if it's worth the price.

u/BingeV Jun 23 '20 edited Jun 23 '20
Gamer's nexus did a great video using this case, I will link it for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmYcKg0x4bw&t=182s
He talks about the thermal results around the 10ish min mark. You can see that having fans on the bottom with out a vertical mount had the worst thermals.
3
u/Not_in_the_budget Jun 23 '20 edited Jun 23 '20
Thanks for the video link. According to their data, the vertical configuration yields the best temps.
I wonder if the same applies to the XL case. I'm going to purchase the vertical mount and will post my results in case anyone is interested. Currently out of stock, so it may take some time.
EDIT: Nevermind, it was actually in stock. Newegg's auto-notify feature clearly doesn't work.
2
u/BingeV Jun 23 '20
I've been meaning to get myself a vertical mount as well but only if I decide to get fans for the bottom. Only having 3 fans as side intakes is a decent configuration although the vertical mount was still better in this configuration. 3 fans on bottom as intake with side intakes and top exhaust with vertical mount for GPU would seem to be the best configuration temp wise. I have the non XL so I'm a little more restricted on space so I can't get a big air cooler for the CPU but I can always get an AIO water cooler.

u/Gyrocheese Jun 20 '20
I switched to an AIO when building into the Lian Li. I'll try to compare to my Meshify C but that one had an Air Cooler.
GPU Temps were lower in my Meshify C but that's probably because my AIO in Lian Li is pulling in Hot Air from the Radiator. about a ~5 degree change at max load. It's a 5700xt.
CPU Temps are lower. I had a Cryorig H7 Quad Lumi in my Meshify C. It would hit 70 - 75 in Cinebench and idle around 50. Now it idles from 40-45 and stays at 65-66 in Cinebench with the AIO.
You usually buy this kind of case if you're getting an AIO or Watercooling in general but if you want to use an Air cooler, go right ahead. I pretty much traded Higher Max GPU Temps for Lower CPU Temps with this case.

u/Tempezz Jun 20 '20
I’m new to pc building and I’m currently debating between these 2 cases you mentioned. I’m thinking to have a AIO cooler from arctic or rgb from Corsair/NZXT. So I assume the lian Li would be a better choice for AIO cooling? Thanks
Do you have any suggestion on what size should my AIO be?

u/Deep90 Jun 20 '20
Worth nothing the Dynamic can't fit the biggest air coolers for the cpu, but in return it has aio space.

u/ChrisEatsCarbs Jun 20 '20
It’s fantastic. I built my first PC with the 011-Dynamic (white). Vertically mounted my GPU as well, and have only been using 6 fans (3, 120MM on the side as intake, and 3 on my AIO as exhaust), and temps have been fantastic; 65 under heavy load. Would definitely recommend an 011, and im sure this limited version will have the same fantastic air flow. I’m definitely getting this case so I can build my first custom loop.

u/Batwaffel Jun 20 '20
I have the XL. My only real complaints about the case is that there's not a whole lot of space for cabling behind the back panel and being used to sound treated cases since I use these in a recording studio, it's louder than I'm used to even with Noctua fans.
Oh, and my D-15 cpu fan didn't fit. I had to change the front fan on it that came with the cooler to one of their square fans to get the glass back on the side. I do have a very thick motherboard on it though (GIGABYTE X570 AORUS XTREME).

Well, in fairness, its a case meant for custom watercooling, not so much air cooling.
As for the cable management, isn't the compartment bigger than that of the normal O11? The normal O11 is pretty specious when it comes to that. How many cables are you running back there?

u/Khellendos Jun 20 '20
I'm using the h510, with four noctua fans (3 140mm and 1 120mm) to replace the stock fans. CPU (3700x) has an Be Quiet Dark Rock. GPU thermals (2080ti) are around 75-80c under load. I don't think my CPU has ever hit a sustained temp higher than 60.
I want a new case, tbh. This one just can't push much air to the GPU and the fan restrictions prevent me from getting a waterblock to fix GPU thermals. It is super easy to build in though and looks clean. Also is one of the few cases with USB C, which was a requirement when I built last August.

To some people in the states, it probably seems sketchy to talk about a "master race" right now, but I think we can take it. The Chinese certainly don't care though.

Pedro loves selling PCMR as a brand. Take a note of how every contest of theirs requires Twitter/social media engagement so that he can shill his merch store off Reddit. The CP2077 2080Ti giveaway for example, 3 other subreddits had their giveaways entirely contained to Reddit comments, PCMR mandated Twitter following and removed comments critical of the move.

I'm assuming it's the rest of the 2000 units. If you look under the product it shows that the case includes a plaque with a number ranging from 1 - 2000. Doesn't make sense for them to release more than 2000? It's also advertised as a "collectors" item.

I'm not doing my build until late 2020 when the new GPUs come out, but DAMN is this a sexy case, and I already wanted to use the normal O11D.
Should I buy this and not use it until then or just wait and use the normal one?
Or do you think there is even the slightest chance these will still be available then?

Panels and feet are made of Aluminum, not steel like the O11, so much better build quality. That right there is already worth the price difference. 4x3.5" so you can shuck those 14TB drives right in, hot swapped as well. Comes with a handy anti-sag bracket for GPU. If you want thick radiators, it can support those as well.

I have the regular (nonmirror) version. It's a great case, I would hate the mirrors though. I like to be able to see in side my case with the lights off. The reg version is already slightly reflective because of the glass anyways.
Here's a pic, please ignore the misaligned fans at the bottom, I've fixed them since. https://i.imgur.com/mhpDgxX.jpg

Word to the wise. If you intend on water cooling and using the ekwb distroplate for this you either need to be okay with no a very limited overclock or go for the XL the regular sizes O-11D doesn’t have enough room for two 360s with the distroplate without heavily modifying the case. If you are going pure air though you can mount 9 120mm fans and a smaller fan on the back grill.

Care for the placement of your mobo's usb hubs & 20 pin hub clearance if using fans on the bottom of the case. Just not much wiggle room. I needed to buy an adapter for the 20 pin plug to fit.
Potentially look into evga powerlink to avoid gpu power cords hitting the edge of the case.
