What I really appreciate about you, you stick the camera in the case so I can see the clearance and stuff properly. No one else has done that. Under-rated review right here. Thank you.
I think you disconnect the cables from the back of the I/O panel assembly and route them in between the top and bottom fan and through the gap in the mounting rail. Reconnect them and then bolt it down.
Just bought mine :) Nice review, I love the fact that you get up close and show as the case. many big reviewers are focused on their big production and presentation but forget that people want to see them up close.
If you look at page 12 of the manual for this case you can see how to install the I/O panel on the side. Great review video. You have convinced me to get it.
I love the austism on full display here, as well as all of your follow-up videos. Underrated and soon-to-blow-up channel.. congrats on finding your niche in an oversaturated market. Keep going.
At the end, to change the USB position Yeah, it feels weird, but you just have to take each wire individually, find a good way to angle it directly downward. Layer them on top of each other, and they will fit in that lower left corner against the fan If the fan was slightly higher or usb hub slightly lower it wouldn’t be so cramped, but once you get the wires bent (they are pretty sturdy and are initially stuck in their bend for the top configuration), and lay them over each other it goes in just fine Yeah the case is great imo, very smooth and easy
this was done very well, as iv watched a lot of people do this case and u have done it justice, i like how u get up close unlike others. cheers for that you have confirmed my buy
got this case a year ago and it's literally the best case i've ever seen. Built a good bunch of PCs over the last 20 years and i can't think of anything better on the market. it's soooo good
Awesome review! After debating for days on which case to choose I’m 100% sold after this video. Building for the first time in this is gonna be great. Also HUGE props for explaining the whole fan hub and ARGB stuff, it was by FAR the most confusing aspect about pc building when I first heard about it and was scared I couldn’t figure it out once I had to do it myself, but your explanation made it so much clearer. Also love the fan hub the case has, will make it so much easier to manage everything all at once!
@@Renegade_Rabryn Phanteks G360A, H5 Flow and this one. Mostly because of the price (They’re both 20-10 euros cheaper here in Italy compared to the 216) but I don’t mind paying slightly more for a better quality case
th-cam.com/video/DT1Hus_Bc_M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=unpbeVjkO3xXRBOq&t=1742 Can't you just port the wires through this bottom hole in the fan side or will it tug too much after installation? Right below their thumb is a big hole for cable routing possibly.
You are trying to squeeze the cabling through the side of the fan. You need to route the cables down to the bottom left hand corner of the fan and then head across the bottom of the fan and then run the cabling through the bottom of the fan where the gap is a lot bigger. It's a lot easier if you remove the front fan assembly first.
I have the same case I dont know if anyone mentioned but in the case box there is a plate you can attached to the top if you run a 240mm aio...move the aio back a little and attach the plate witch blocks the other large hole... I love this case i have build a few pc's in this for me and friends...keep them coming...
Why no side screw on the non glass panel? Lian Li real nice price etc for all that gives but man... one little screw would be needed there for security.
This is the case I am going to build in which will be white and the only thing I don't like is the Non RGB rear fan which will have to be replaced if you want RGB throughout the case. I will have a 360 AIO in top with RGB, 2 x 120 RGB in the bottom and 1 x 120 RGB in the rear. Wish the rear panel had the tab like the glass panel did that a thumb screw would lock it in to reduce the chance of it falling off when moving the case.
I can't agree with you more, although realistically for the price that rgb controller wouldn't be included even a decade ago. Regardless, a year later show me a case that offers a glass panel, 160mm fans a gpu bracket and the front I/O it does, and actually can compete when it comes to airflow at that price?
Thank you, my case didn't have the manual. I think the fan header is a 4 pin sys fan connection on the mobo. Found it. sys fan1-3 are headers. Lian li didn't think to post a link to the manual under its 34 sec video either.
I have done the front io to the sides, all you have to do is cram every thing on the side of the fans, a bit hard though. At first I was scared on the cables of the io but it has been 3 months since and no problem what so ever.
@@Renegade_Rabryn Building in this case now and its basically this. There are 2 tabs on the I/O that fit into holes on the case. I pushed the I/O first and got it the tabs into the holes. This allowed it to sit until I reinstalled the screws. Really did have to push a little hard though. Was a little scary haha.
I've just got one of these cases too and they definitely advertise the front I/O as being relocatable to the side but you would need to really jam the cables in for it to work. It's the one poorly designed piece of this case. If you notice at the top of the case they have notched the metal frame so that the cables can go through but they didn't do the same for the side mounting position. I also gave up and just decided to leave the I/O on the top of the case.
I'm in the US and I got the bracket, but I couldn't get it to fit my 3060. Got a good one for $10 on amazon and it works great. nkomax Graphics Card GPU Brace Support, Video Card Sag Holder Bracket, GPU Stand, Anodized Aerospace Aluminum (Black)
Good job with explaining the case over all. But didnt see close up some of the cable connections like for the rgb. Finally figured it out and the video helped a bunch. So far no one has done a detailed MB installation in this case showing ALL the cable connections to the MB in slow detail.
29:00 I was able to do it. I moved the fans up until the upper front fan covers the thumb screws. The cable fits but it's tight. You can force it but if you feel like you're trying to fight it, then it isn't enough. Also the frame for the fans can be moved up like just a couple of millimeters. Hope this helps!
This video made me return a brand new, unopened case that just got delivered so I could order this instead. Thanks for the heads up at the begining of this video. I am so glad I got this one instead. Everyone keeps saying it's the nicest case they've owned and it's true. This is the nicest case that I've owned. It's not thin cheap metal panels, but it's not heavy either. Absolutely fucking smitten with this case.
Thank you for the detailed guidance! I'm still troubleshooting; my AsRock Z690 board lights stopped working - RAM and GPU rgb works and the fans run - and ASRock Polychrome software refuses to install, but I am checking for connection mistakes, and you CLEARLY show the RGB hub connections. Subbed!
I just bought this case and love the build quality and the massive improvement in air flow/Space. This is my second case from Lian Li (My first being the LanCool 205 Mesh) Upgraded my current Rig from small cramped corsair Red shift 5 case with side bulges to this Beauty of a beast! Enjoyed your video Rabryn and thanks! Peace!
I also bought this case. I am building in it next week. Can you help me? I have a lian li 360mm liquid cooler. There are two wires coming from the pump. 1 goes to the aio pump header on the motherboard, i am not sure where the other one goes. The other one goes to the psu sata connection with a connector?
@@rahuldasila2230bit late on the reply but the actual pump connector needs to go into SYS_FAN_PUMP and the fans connected to the radiator should go into the CPU fan slots
Just built my new PC in this case with a 7800x3D and a 4070 ti with a thermal take 360rad AIO I have low 30's at idle and mid 60's while gaming got it on sale at microcenter for only 100 bucks. The only thing I don't like about it is, it's kinda loud but that it is to be expected with an airflow oriented case.
Edit/Advice for People building : Don't bother trying to change the front fans pre-installed positions on the Fan hub, cables are too short and second fan RGB won't reach much further. Put the Front I/O Panel type C connector inside the plastic corner of the front fan and assemble both together otherwise it will not fit to change the I/O to the side position. Only con I have found so far is the HDD bracket has no anti vibration rubbers, when HDD starts spinning it can be quite noisy, mind you it is a 10 year old HDD, I am aware it is not the quietest at this point but barely noticeable on my old case. Godly AIRFLOW!!! I ordered mine last week, waiting for it to arrive, should be any day now. I saw lots of reviews about it but it is nice to see a more recent one still having the same opinion. Can't wait to be able to build in it, considering that I have the exact set up as you (mobo+PSU) does clarifies a lot of my doubts. I was screaaaming bend the cables at the end as I have seen others do it but hey still a good job and well thought out video with some good quality shots. Thanks for the review! P.S Pros - I learned it may or may not come with a GPU bracket (first review to ever show that but it is also the most recent one, maybe Lian Li decided to include it as the Lancool III brings it). Cons - I was hoping you would test the mounting bracket on the motherboard to see if it would fit or have any issues since I have the WIFI II version of the same board but you didn't and left me hanging with my doubts 😂😂 Great video nonetheless, I will find out in person until the end of the week either way. Turns out I got a call after writing this comment and already got the case, tomorrow I am waking up early! 😃
@@Renegade_Rabryn So I did build it already, AMAZING case to build on, just freaking great and you weren't kidding about the air it moves o.O. I can confirm it does comes with the GPU support bracket and it fits on the motherboard albeit very close to the sata ports it still fits, what didn't fit was my GPU 😑 glad I am upgrading soon. I understood what you meant with the front I/O not fitting, the fan plastic mold hits the USB C connector and it won't let it sit properly, I fixed it by putting both thing at the same time, so that the connector stays in between the fan bracket already.
sort of new to building... this case comes with the front fans already controlled with the fan hub, right? i have it plugged into the ARGB header on my mobo but it's not letting me control it with anything? not popping up on L connect or other software. idk if i'm missing anything
About to buy one. Sure someone already pointed out, but the "extra fan bracket" for the back is for you to be able to set up a vertical gpu mount. Which I am going to do, and which is one of the main reasons I am picking this case. No need for a vertical mount set, just a pcie riser cable.
Someone pls help me: i have this case but I don't have the ARGB connector on the motherboard so that is the only cable that is not connected, fans are spinning but the 2 frontal panel's fans have no LED, I do think that they should light on but correct me if I am wrong
My HAF XB EVO is starting to show it’s age with the maximum GPU compatibility, so I was looking for a new case. Wanted the be quiet Silent Base 802 because you can invert it (PC is on the left side) but this video singlehandedly convinced me to save $80 and get the Lancool 216. I’m rocking a Noctua NH-U14S so the 216’s airflow will be great. Thanks man!
I got this case along with the GA II Trinity 360 AIO and I'm having a bit off difficulty, I was hoping you could help me. I have everything setup, but for some reason the RGB on my AIO aren't working. The fans are spinning, but it's not detecting it in L-Connect. Which part of the ARGB hub on the case plugs into the motherboard? This argb wiring is so new to me.
@@Renegade_Rabryn I manhandled the cables a little bit, it felt awkward and it looked like it wouldnt work, but as I tightened the 2 screws - it worked. Now it sits flush.
@@Renegade_Rabryn right below the fan there is space between the front io screw holes, you can direct the cables there. you have done it correctly at the start (27:09), just need to "right-angle" the power and reset cables downwards.
I have also done it on mine you first need to place the case with front facing up.Then you take the front fan tray out and route it through the gap below the fan and then screw down front i/o and fan tray.
does it come with the bracket to side mount a video card , my new video card has 3 slots ,, i bought the pny 4080 16gb super video card which i bought it for 999 dollars, which is the first part i bought ,, next trying to find a good case
all you had to do was to take the reset and power cable, separate them from the bunch and reroute them upwards. That's how I installed the panel on the side.
Hey can anyone give me a helping tip, so my front fans have the rgb on but my back one doesnt…. Im pretty sure all the wires are plugged in and the rgb cable is the only 5 watt one right for everything rgb?
I would swap AIO fans as intake and have 4 intake 1 exhaust BUT reduce the front panel intakes speed to a very low RPM so that air inside the case won't flow too fast. This way I consistently get lowest temperatures in various builds. Anyways, I found out 5 fans is simply too much so I'd reduce rpm regardless of setup.
29:14 I see the cables go between the front cover of the fans and that little L shape at the bottom , so when you close it , wont be any interference with the cables
Man that tackle box makes me want to get it just for that. All the extra crap being stored in a baggy that is either ripped permanently or is in one of those shitty ones that don't snap closed properly. Probably (definitely) bugs me more than it should.
Hey, this is the most detailed video on this case to date, and I appreciate you uploading it. The front area, it can support a radiator? Would it be able to house 3 fans on a radiator attached at the front of the case?
Great review! You're really entertaining to watch, and it helped me pick the perfect case. I was thinking about the NZXT H5 RGB, but I had some concerns about the fans and RGB cables. It seems like Lian Li has given more attention to these aspects.
I love the aesthetics of the nzxt h5 flow case. I reviewed the non rgb version so I don't want to say much about the rgb version, but if I'd have to guess I'd say the lancool is the better case. More support for fans, radiators, adding extra rgb...the rgb hub in the lancool is awesome.
Not sure if you're still trying to get the I/O module to the side of the case, but this guy does it at the 18:31 mark th-cam.com/video/V-TZ42TjPM4/w-d-xo.html

I love your no nonsense style of review. Keep it up! 🥰
Exactly. I just built a system using the non-RGB version and it was the best case I have ever used.
I want a case with a vertical mount
This was perfect! I just finished my first build in this case and couldn’t figure out how to get the fans working, thank you so much

Thank you for explaining this. I've seen multiple other videos where they swap this usb panel around no problem. So i knew it was totally possible.
Great video. Should I get the one with the rgb controller ?
Thanks! Your detail on the RGB/Fan Header provided with the case was clutch in helping me not overthink the wiring. Success... thanks again!!

Best review on this case on the 'net. Have done three builds in the last month using the 216 and absolutely love it. Nice job.
Well you convinced me just bought it!
Great Detailed video and like that you explain what all cables do. I learned a lot

My HAF XB EVO is starting to show it’s age with the maximum GPU compatibility, so I was looking for a new case. Wanted the be quiet Silent Base 802 because you can invert it (PC is on the left side) but this video singlehandedly convinced me to save $80 and get the Lancool 216. I’m rocking a Noctua NH-U14S so the 216’s airflow will be great. Thanks man!
I got this case along with the GA II Trinity 360 AIO and I'm having a bit off difficulty, I was hoping you could help me. I have everything setup, but for some reason the RGB on my AIO aren't working. The fans are spinning, but it's not detecting it in L-Connect. Which part of the ARGB hub on the case plugs into the motherboard? This argb wiring is so new to me.
Amazing review bro
Yooo thank you bro. It’s been days couldnt get my shit to light up !
28:15 it is meant to go down there, I have installed it down there.
How did you get it down there? Did you change or adjust the front fans?
@@Renegade_Rabryn I manhandled the cables a little bit, it felt awkward and it looked like it wouldnt work, but as I tightened the 2 screws - it worked. Now it sits flush.
@@Renegade_Rabryn Yep you gotta manhandle the cables, I also could not fit those cables "comfortably".
@@Renegade_Rabryn right below the fan there is space between the front io screw holes, you can direct the cables there. you have done it correctly at the start (27:09), just need to "right-angle" the power and reset cables downwards.
I have also done it on mine you first need to place the case with front facing up.Then you take the front fan tray out and route it through the gap below the fan and then screw down front i/o and fan tray.
Good review 👍
This or nzxt h7 flow?
What camera do you use for this video?

all you had to do was to take the reset and power cable, separate them from the bunch and reroute them upwards. That's how I installed the panel on the side.
Pretty sure they give you a plate to cover the gap if you use a 240 rad in the top.
Hey can anyone give me a helping tip, so my front fans have the rgb on but my back one doesnt…. Im pretty sure all the wires are plugged in and the rgb cable is the only 5 watt one right for everything rgb?
Got deeper in the video and i seen that he said the back one isnt rgb
I would swap AIO fans as intake and have 4 intake 1 exhaust BUT reduce the front panel intakes speed to a very low RPM so that air inside the case won't flow too fast. This way I consistently get lowest temperatures in various builds. Anyways, I found out 5 fans is simply too much so I'd reduce rpm regardless of setup.
Is that a Canadian I hear? :O Great review, by the way. Looking forward to building in this case tomorrow.
Sure is
29:14 I see the cables go between the front cover of the fans and that little L shape at the bottom , so when you close it , wont be any interference with the cables
Man that tackle box makes me want to get it just for that. All the extra crap being stored in a baggy that is either ripped permanently or is in one of those shitty ones that don't snap closed properly. Probably (definitely) bugs me more than it should.
Bru for the side panel you have to buy separate the top one doesnt fit ... 😂
Does it come with the vertical mount?
Yes. You rotate the back panel, but you NEED to buy the riser cable (LIAN LI PW-PCI-420)
I got this case haven't built in it but from the many reviews I've watched no case comes close to this for the price
I think lianli indeed care about me 😂
Hey, this is the most detailed video on this case to date, and I appreciate you uploading it. The front area, it can support a radiator? Would it be able to house 3 fans on a radiator attached at the front of the case?
Great review! You're really entertaining to watch, and it helped me pick the perfect case. I was thinking about the NZXT H5 RGB, but I had some concerns about the fans and RGB cables. It seems like Lian Li has given more attention to these aspects.
I love the aesthetics of the nzxt h5 flow case. I reviewed the non rgb version so I don't want to say much about the rgb version, but if I'd have to guess I'd say the lancool is the better case. More support for fans, radiators, adding extra rgb...the rgb hub in the lancool is awesome.
Not sure if you're still trying to get the I/O module to the side of the case, but this guy does it at the 18:31 mark th-cam.com/video/V-TZ42TjPM4/w-d-xo.html
