HardwareCanucks I wish this case come in India but I only hope
Dude mix and match intake and output.
See those PCIE expansion metal pieces on the case?
REMOVE THEM AND PUT AN OUTTAKE Fan THERE!
Then the fan on the very left bottom make an outtake then put the other 2 bottom ones as intake.
Watch those GPU temps go down...
always positive pressure... or temps will go up.
that means you will always need more airflow on the intake than on the exhaust.
Francesco Corriga A neutral fan config never managed to hurt any of my systems.
Francesco Corriga issue is with that form of GPU pushing heat into the case is relying entirely on positive pressure to reduce the temp of the air in the case. Give the GPU it's own output and I bet you will have a temp difference of at least 5 to 10.
True story here. My 8 year daughter just walked in and saw me watching this video, saw your face and asked
"Why are you watching this movie again?"
and I replied
"What movie?"
and she said
"Guardians of the Galaxy"......
hahaha :) #prattprattpratt

He does look a lil bit like chris pratt :D And thats a compliment :D chris pratt is one handsome bastard :D
That case reminds me of the Guardian's of the Galaxy, it's pretty colorful
Hahaha
a mix of Peter Quill and Danny Rand!
Human eye can see only 2 fans

Warning *Pun Intended*
Just keep in mind, that the results for the version "AiO in Top, exhaust" might be very different if you use an open shroud GPU instead of the Blower Style one. (More GPU Heat inside the Case)
I loved this experiment!!! I'm building a pc in an O11 case in the coming days and this really helped me with the fans. I was wondering how double-stacking the rad would affect temps though. And where to put the double-stacked rad, on top or on the side. Thank you very much!
This video has seriously saved me soo much time. Thank you for going through all of the hard work and testing to find the optimal results! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
man i love your work Dmitry.
If this is the best case, isn't it always a best case scenario?
Frank Concemi when a genius mind formulates a meme.
Take my like and please stop your shower thoughts
lol
Take my like pls
Jesus. I got 7 Fans inside my case and every time i start a good optimized game, my PC sounds like it tries to fly away.
Lmao , so funny :D
Don’t put wings on it! Is it still super loud a year later or did you change things up ? 😂
@@Scuba_Bro its still loud af
@@NoobyEditsHD maybe get some fans that are below 40dB lol. also, a shitty airflow/fan setup can cause that noise because the fans run at high speed.
fix airflow, buy high-end fans that run below 2000rpm and below 25dB. bequiet silentwings 3 are 1500rpm 16dB I believe, if you are ready to sacrifice RGB for less noise.
@@madlad847 low end fans won't go anywhere near 2000rpm. I bought some fractal R3 case fans for 5 bucks they are 600-1200rpm max noise 27db
Interesting results. One configuration I've seen that works really good and gets similar if not better results than the best configuration tested here is aio on the top as intake, intake on the bottom, and then the side being exhaust.
thank you for this comment, was planning on doing this for my build
@@Brickbuilder0506 Yeah I was going to ask about this. Whats the best way for an AIO to go, are yo trying to se the fans to cool the radiator or as an exhaust for heat to escape?
@@rhysclarke3339 im top mounting rad and planning to use a push pull intak
My pc with this case has the radiator on
top as intake
Bottom as intake
And side and exhausts.
GPU is 3080
And when playing heavy games I can get 60c to 79c and that’s it .
On idle it is 28c
Doesn't heat rise though?
Dimitri, "Best Case" Scenario - 10 / 10!
Wouldnt it make more sense to use a third party GPU that uses more than one fan and that is not a blower style card as they could use more of that air supplied by the bottom fans?
YESSS!!!!!
Im also wondering what would happen with Gpu that has open-air cooler.
Or, a Hybrid cooler GPU, *OR* even better, one that's mixed into the 360mm loop (Do-able easily with Alphacool Eisbaer for example)
Why does it make any difference? The blower style can't utilise all that air, but it also runs cooler and puts hot air out the back. Normal gpu's might utilise the air, but they run hotter and send their exhaust through the case.
Aren't 3rd party GPUs incompatible because of their width? I thought you needed a founders/blower style gpu because of the glass side panel?
"The O11 is the case of my dreams"
*Shows NZXT H700i*
ugly af
Nope
lol you are kidding right?
Thats the Lian Li
Hahhaa. I was like wtff that ad so out of place.
Great video, I just bought the Lian Li Razer case. I watched another video where he had 3 bottom intake, the AIO was at the top as an intake with 3 fans, and the 3 fans on the side were exhaust, he said that gave him the best temps.
I really want this case for my watercooling setup, but it's not available in my country just yet. Ugh
Barteg Get the view 71 and done!
I have the gen 1 version and love it
It's technically not available anywhere. I'm also hesitating between that and the View 71. The main difference for me right now is that technical information for the 011 is barely available... So I don't even know if my loop would fit in there...
Xælias AL I use 2 360mm rads and a vertical gpu so mines pretty tight
yeah not available in my country too
I saw a prebuilt system in this case on caseking. I did like they did and was suprised how great temps were, both CPU and GPU. Setup is: 3 bottom-fans intake, 3 side-fans outtake, radiator top with 3 fans for INTAKE cooling the CPU perfectly fine and the GPU still get its fresh air. Also installed a 80mm bequiet fan back above the lian li / der 8auer logo like they did. Case and rad-fans are TT Pure Plus. I also run a 6700k @ 4.5 GHz but a RTX 2080, which produces serious heat. Still Temps are amazing. GPU max 70°C w/ fans @ 60 %, CPU max 68°C with fans @ 20%. CPU been delided but w/o liquid metal. CPU cooler is an Eisbear 360 L with modded tubes and reservoir. Just adding that details to be fair.
nice links to your setup would be nice
This was incredibly helpful! I purchased the Lian-Li PC-011 and I was unsure about my fan configuration and this completely set me straight! I am going with the 9 fan configuration since I am not skilled enough to tackle water cooling just yet (beyond that cool radiator you used which seems simple enough). Many thanks!
This video is great but as noted by several users the results set is incomplete because Dimitri completely missed one scenario for non blower horizontal GPU setup which probably is the most common scenario. I have tested further and can confirm
1) if regular horizontal GPU setup non blower style
- best temperature hands down with: bottom intake, top AIO intake and side exhaust
- even better if you push/pull your AIO with a 12 fan overkill config using the configuration above (yes you can do it with this case on top!).
both GPU and CPU received fresh air which is evacuated by the size. My cpu is crazy cold in that config
2) if vertical GPU setup or blower style GPU , then Dimitri settings are the best
This is probably the best case ever made. It has a perfect balance between aesthetics and performance.
I spent like a month trying to convince me to get the XL one because for some reason, I didn't like how it looked that much . Then, I decided to finally get it and oh man, the case is amazing!
@@Noltar Why the XL ?
M12 I like big cases and still, the XL is smaller than my last case.
I can’t figure how to cable management it
@@JellyGlows it sucked..... but as long as I keep it clean, I don’t have to bother taking the PC apart again.
4:10 I like how the power supply is separate from the rest of the enclosure to minimize heat transfer.
Well its called dual chamber :p nothing to be fancy 😂😂 also worth to mention is that o11 back panel has 2 vents with filter so the psu and side fans blow or intake
@@HeLrAiSiNg1 would you recommend this bad boy?
@@abstraktimus5856 I have the case myself, personally yeah it’s cool but i’d rather get something else
@@GangsterDolphins how does it compare to the XL / what other case would you recommend please? Ty btw
@@abstraktimus5856 I was thinking about getting corsair 4000X
7:27 best case scenario for fan placement and direction of airflow.
This is a great explanation, especially for rookies like me. Thank you for sharing!
@@christopherc1976 radiator's use cold air intake to transfer heat from the coolant to the fins to the air. The lower the pressure difference(cooler the air coming over the fins) the better heat transfer. Thus Your "CPU" stays very chill. But does bring heat into the system which can add to the mobo/gpu heat lvls.
The other thing is pressure differential.
Which is kinda like concentration gradient if you remember any chemistry from highschool/college. The higher the pressure in the box and the lower the pressure out of the box the more it will will move. This is also effected by how fast air flow is moving. Faster/More is some times very bad.
Its a shame they didnt test Top air exhaust with side AIO intake. Reducing cold air intake from the bottom while having the hot air from the radiator would have more pressure thus forcing air upward into cooling/lower pressure air with the exhaust fans helping create a boost.
Which probably would of had better results than with the 3 intakes at the bottom.
Lower pressure air natural goes down it also WONT try to enter a higher pressure area thus the cool air in the bottom is causing pockets around the GPU which is most likely why it has the heat spike.
You got a lot of fans man 😆
seewardone Get out!
so funny, totally not a 2013 joke at all
A for effort
;) Two way joke
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS :D
I'm loving the editing dude really nice work!! subscribed!!
Welcome 😎
It's such a shame you have to reverse RGB and don't get the full lightning effect on intake.s 6/9 of your fans are not displayed as they are "intended"
Wdym exactly they are RGB fans that are intended to show color displays, and unique color mixes and patterns within the Corsair iCue, his choice is a solid blue but he can change them to whatever he likes, although the fans are displayed as intended and that is RGB lol
@@TheQuarreler I explained it in the comment. When these fans are used in reverse IE; moving air inside the case, you get half the RGB, an ugly side of the fan and you dont get a complete RGB fan as it was intended. Buy one and view it in reverse to understand.
I know what You mean and i have heard that you can change the Way the fans spin but i cant find it anywhere
@@wholeshow oh yea yea yea yea i see what you mean now he has the cross guard side facing, i got the ll120s and ll140s by corsair and getting the full RGB side looks great
This is my problem..I have nzxt AER rgb fans which only have one sided rgb rings...so I'm pretty much stuck with mostly exhausts and 2-3 non RGB intakes, 6 RGB exhausts....:\
I use 3 top intake, 3 bottom intake, AIO side exhaust. Fresh air for gpu. (MSI 2080ti gaming x trio)
And fresh air for the AIO from bottom and top front fans blowing down/up on the AIO fans.
This for me was the best setup.
Thank you for a great video as always.
I'm getting this case tomorrow and I'm gonna try your setup
Thank you so much for this. I was doubting putting my AIO on top as the exhaust.
When I place fans I usually follow 4 case airflow rules:
1. From the bottom and up, because hot air is naturally rising.
2. Front to back, because cases are usually configured like this.
3. Positive air pressure, as to prevent dust from getting sucked in via empty expansion slots etc.
4. Test every option possible because your system deserves a complete analysis! Who knows what complicated situations your case/room/desk/components can cause?
nice
When I'm thinking about airflow I like to imagine the air as water in a tank that's being heated up, and then I imagine the best way to get water in and out of the tank quickly so that it doesn't get a chance to get hot.
I find this helps me to clarify things because it's easier to visualise water because you can see it, while air is kind of invisible..
For example, if you have water flowing in from 6 holes, and it only has 2 holes to flow out then it will be hanging around in there for a while.
Also if the only exhaust is via a rad it's not going to escape cleanly and you get positive pressure build up.
I am interested in how much passive exhaust the open mesh rear provides though.
@@chrisogrady28 Some positive pressure is a good thing though, because it means that all the air coming in is coming from the fans, and hence the air moves through your dust filters and blocks the dust.
Negative pressure means that the air will be coming in through these unfiltered "open meshes" and any other holes in the case, and bringing dust and hair with it.
But obviously too much positive pressure isn't great either.
I think something like 4 intake and 3 exhaust would be just fine, or even 5 in and 3 out, and you just make the exhaust fans run a little faster to balance it.
This setup is what I have, so 3 bottom intake, 3 side intake and top AIO exaust, plus I bought 2 80mm ARGB fans and brutforce mounted them in the rear also for exaust. :D
Love this case.
I’m super late but can you get explain how put a fan on the rear grill please
The best case review channel on the internet !
Two years ago lol
@@axrura152 and i still watch
Olisse Lol
There's a one big PROBLEM in this result. Canucks used Blower-style GPU, so hot air from the GPU directly goes out of the case. It means intaked cool air goes directly to the AIO's top radiator and it makes CPU cooler. BUT most of us use Open-air GPU. If we set up AIO Top exhaust, intaked cool air goes to GPU and becomes hot air. It means hot air from GPU goes to the AIO'S radiator, and it decreases AIO's cooling. So I think the Best solution with Open-air GPU is . If you want to use only 6 fans, is the best.
Where do you reckon you would put an AIO GPU like the Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 2080 Xtreme Waterforce AIO 8GB in the setup? I have the H150i as side intake for now.
@@akira_infty Gpu aio for exhaust/Cpu aio for exhaust
With the 6 fans configuration you'd also have room on the bottom for a vertical GPU which is the best solution for this case since you don't have much room for wider GPUs
@@iKavinon cheers
The problem with that setup is warm ram and motherboard components.
I use 3fan top intake, 3 fan bottom intake, AIO side exhaust. Fresh air for GPU. Fresh air for the AIO from the front bottom and top fans blowing up/down on the AIO fans.
Fresh air for the mb with top fans blowing down.
This was the best setup atleast for my build.
I use a 2080 ti gaming x trio. And a corsair h150i pro.
Cheers
Ivan doesn't need laptop, ivan puts 9 fans into desktop so it flys next to ivan
I've been looking for a tower to build my own gaming PC. This one has come up a lot in my research and I think I will be getting this one. I'm a first-time computer builder I'm excited to start this project. Thanks for the info
@@chigga25 what kind of fan setup did you use? Did you do the 3 bottom intake, 3 side intake, and aio top exhaust?
chigga25 where did you place your AIO fans?
chigga25 I’m probably going to do the same thing except I have a 2080 ftw3 and a 9700k.. anyway thank you for the response :)
@@trueo2259 Aio would work better on the side. Exhaust on top.
I could listen to Dmitry say "fans" for hours. This video made me happy.
Your intros are always so sick dude
Agreed 😎
-D.
Keep in mind that if you do the side AIO setup, you can do a 6 fan push-pull configuration with a 360mm radiator setup which significantly drops the CPU temperatures down. Mine dropped 10 degrees C at 100% load from my previous 3 fan intake AIO setup on the side.
Could you describe your optimal setup? 3 fan intake bottom, 3 fan exhaust top and 3 fan radiator exhaust side?
Same conclusion as Gamers Nexus, 3 intake on bottom and side, 3 exhaust top= best thermals.
Dmitry, I have been admiring your work for a while Sir.
As a fellow interested in learning. What are your preparation habits? How much time do you spend preparing for the video production? If you feel like answering in a percentages or time frames style answers that'd be highly appreciated.
Thank you and keep up the great works.
Thanks :) time frame for videos really depends if there are longer voice-over section (that need scripting) or more vlog-sections. For this one, turn around was maybe 40 hours for the whole thing. Only had two days to complete it so it was crammed. Otherwise i would spread it over 3 days.
-D.
WOW! I am shocked. My apologies. I really thought you guys punched out videos in 10-14 hour time frame. This is great insight to give ourselves some space to allow for the development of videos. 40 hours is quite a bit of work, and it definitely shows in your videos.
Have a great weekend.
Intake on bottom and side exclusively. All of top should be exhaust. this config makes the most sense to me
ThaddeusSM agree
ThaddeusSM I see your logic but the "hot air rises" thing really doesn't matter AT ALL if you have some kind of airflow. If the airflow is down, the hot air WILL go down.
But that is probably (close to) the best config since the GPU gets fresh air, the rad gets nice and fresh air and the VRM has airflow on it
ThaddeusSM Get the view 71 and done!
MrPigglet is right. Normal physics normally do not apply as much as air pressure and current are considerably larger factors. I have a case where I do top intake and it's actually a better setup than side/bottom intake and top exhaust because of the physics of my case
To all of those who replied: I realize airflow matters more than “hot air rises”, I guess i said that because it was the first thing that comes to mind.
Sir do you have a cable management of this set up about the 9 fan and commander pro?
^this
one reason why I stuck with the white led ml 120 fans, its already a mess with nine fan cables and a hub.
Wish you would've tested AIO on top, with all bottom and top as intake and side as exhaust.
You have a lot of FANS
@Cemil don't you get the joke
Ardel lmao
How did you control the fan speed of the radiator if you could only plug your 6 fans into the Commander Pro?
Fan splitters probably
Maybe I missed something but I feel like the obvious solution is to have AIO intake on top to get the best CPU cooling, bottom fans intake to get best GPU cooling and side fans exhaust to remove all the air that's been pushed through, and heated by the radiator and GPU. Is there some reason you wouldn't test this? Everything else pushes warm air through the AIO.
you really should have tried with top rad intake, side exhaust and bottom intake, i have got really good results with this setup
Top and Bottom both as intake with side as exhaust, creating positive pressure as the case has plenty of unfiltered areas to exhaust all that filtered air. Surprised that that wasn't tried...
I like this setup. If vertical GPU is mounted, then bottom intake is not blocked that much.
@@karltbui question is, is there enough room to fit 3 fans as bottom intake with a vertical GPU in the way?
I'm actually thinking of that. But with only 2 fans on the top and bottom where 3 are on the side. Does it make sense? 4 fan intake, 3 fan exhausting through radiator
I would have liked to see side exhaust, top+bottom intake
exactly what i was looking for. Thanks for not clickbaiting and delivering what the title promised!
Uh oh. I put 11 in mine. GPU 360mm radiator intake with push/pull on side (yes, you can fit CERTAIN fans back there if you put the radiator in the front), CPU 360mm radiator up top in a push only config (the fans were white, so I wanted them to show more than the black radiator to match the case) and 2 bottom intake fans to basically bring in some fresh air to mix with the hot exhaust of the GPU intake and to help cool the VRMS of the GPU.
Using an i9 9900k @ 5ghz and RTX 2080ti with a slight overclock the max temps I see on the CPU are in the upper 70s (temps spikes are weird, seems like latency in the cooling chain rather than not enough cooling capacity) and the GPU maxes out at 57c. All fans run @ ~700 RPM. I use Argus Monitor software to set fan speeds (set the fans to peg at max if temps hit 85c on either CPU or GPU that way I'll know something's gone bad, since I don't have an internal speaker) and honestly, people should really look into that software. Dmitry would probably get a big use out of it. Not only can you monitor temps across EVERYTHING, you can set fan speeds based on temps of anything. Want a case fan to increase as your GPU heats up? You can. When your RAM heats up? You can. Want to use an average temps over time so your fans aren't constantly revving? Yup. You can honestly do an incredible amount for such an incredibly low amount, it's probably one of the best upgrades I've made to my computer. Oops, now I sound like a shill.
I just found the Lian Li case and it is now on my build list. I started looking at fan configurations, including with the Corsair H150i 3 fan AIO cooler..... and here I am at the perfect video to reassure my build design! Thank you!
and after 4 months what was your choice of the AIO? Top or Side? Intake or Exhaust? i'm not sure how to build my setup.. (case arrive next week) my cpu is overclocked and i would like to get as much fresh air as i could :D
3:00 You call that simple? Having two controllers and two cables for each fan? Thermaltake does it best at the moment with a single hub and single cable per fan. Now we just need someone to make daisy chain-able/connectable fans to eliminate all but one cable.
I know I’m late but the Lian Li uni fans have more or less solved that issue
The outtakes at the end made me subscribe. Brilliant! LOL! I also have this case, and im in the middle of a build, you have just given me my fan set up. Only my build will house 14 fans. I'll leave you to ponder that, Keep it up good sir, good work.
9 fans are awesome
Dust: thanks for reviving me
Havnt fully watched the video yet... but I suspect that 6x Intake (3x bottom, 3x side) and 3x exhaust at the top is the best config.
Edit: Nailed it :)

@@EpicxEvolution i liked yours :)

1:14 to skip the built in ad.
This has more fans than a celebrity.
I liked your video. Great photography and great energy!
Preface: Server hardware design optimizes air flow by placing intake on one side and exhaust on the other. Component placement and orientation should be considered to avoid air restriction where possible.
In the PC-O11 dynamic the GPU clearly creates a division between the top and bottom of the front side of the case. All the cables on the back side would create somewhat of a restrictions, unless you have them tidy. The dust screens all create a quantitative airflow restriction and so if you can maximize the filtered input area, you clearly create a better flow scenario.
If you are still experimenting with flow options please consider this:
1. How about leaving the dust screens on the top (exhaust) to restrict exhausting heavily on the top. Optionally this vent can be partially blocked near the front of the case with a sheet of paper sandwiched between the case and the screen.
2. Cover the front 2/5th to half of the bottom vents with a sheet of paper; leave the rear portion of the bottom vents completely open. Perhaps a couple of magnets to hold the paper in place?
3. Place all 6 fans configured as intakes through side. 3 in front of the radiator pulling air into the case through the sided mounted radiator, and 3 in the back pushing air through the radiator.
4. You may experiment with the rear side dust screens in place or removed.
5. Optionally a single fan can be placed to exhaust air from the bottom rear of the case to help move more air beneath the GPU.
This configuration will create a "U" shaped airflow pattern where air is introduced in the rear through HD area and also through the openings in the back side cover (optionally without the screens), then the air is all forced through the radiator and into the front side of the case. Then it is divided into two regions, above and below the GPU.
The removal of the dust screen on the bottom will enhance airflow velocity beneath the GPU but not until the paper blockage channeled all air further to the rear displacing hot GPU air. The optional fan (#5 above) will enhance the air mass flowing in this region.
Air is also flowing over the top of the GPU will exit partially from the top, and also through the openings in the rear. The liquids cooled CPU is effectively chilled by the entire air mass flowing through the case as the radiator is the focus of all 6 fans.
Inefficiencies in this configuration would be openings between the front side (motherboard side) and rear side (PSU side) where air doesn't fully exit the case before getting forced back into circulation; the rubber grommets help reduce these inefficiencies but other large openings may present an opportunity to further enhance the configuration.
31 seconds into the video and I already gave it a 👍. You guys are awesome! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
BAM :)
-D.
The music was horrible when the boot sequence came in...
Vorphyrion not horrible, just way too loud, easy fix
reminded me of vsauce
Only needs 3 fans in total.
1. Air cooler for CPU with a 140mm fan
2. Bottom intake fan 140mm
3. Top exhaust fan 140mm
Great video, would love to see results with my config as above!
*i have the same case and also have 9 fans by lian li. i have a Nzxt Z73 liquid cooler on top with 3 fans as exhaust and other 6 as intake. tempatures stay low when gaming and noise of fans is set on silent at 1020 rpm. i love this set up
I'd like to see a test with no AIO - 3 top exhaust, 3 side intake, 3 bottom intake!
That's how I think I'm planning to do my build... Just bought this case
Check the clearance if you plan on using an air-cooled CPU in this case.
@@lucvaillancourt8580 yep only 155mm

Man 9 fans! That’s cool......
Thanks for the clear answer. I am building a system with this case and water cooling (my first time for that) and didn't know whether to suck things in or out and where. I like your comment about intakes on the sides and bottom and outtake (for the water cooler) on the top.
The "humor" I could do without, but most of these channels seem to think that is a requirement.
Just started building my XL, you answered all my questions, and it was good to confirm the options I had been considering, thanks
9:08 My OCD is triggered...
yes
Meanwhile, my pc has been running for 6 years with just one exhaust fan 😂
Oof, u sure your temps are ok
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I literally have the exact same set up and this was extremely helpful and saved me hours of testing time. Def subscribing
is it a good case for begginers?
"...best CASE scenario..." at 7:28... LOL
have you thought about picking up a smoke wand to see how air moves through cases?
I'm really surprised the gpu suffered so much when the AIO was side intake. Crazy that it benefits by 4 degrees simply because the side intake fans are unobstructed. I would have thought having unobstructed top exhaust fans would allow more heat to be dissipated, thus supporting the gpu's cooling. Very interested in how an open air gpu cooler would impact these scores.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been wanting to do an all fan build in this case and this helped a lot.
For me overkill fans just seems to allow less fan speed per fan to keep you from having to run a fan all out but that's just my experience once you start putting alot of fans in it
Bottom and top intake, side exhaust makes the most sence imo
Hot air rises, so makes sense for Radiator to exhaust the air on top
@@mrchills23 i do this with AIR version The 2 80mm rear fans are very important unless your doing AIO gpu and cpu but if your doing gpu on air 80mm are very important. The best setup is 2 80mm rear either noctua A8 PWM or bequiet PWM. 3 bot as intake, 3 front as intake, 2-3 fan radiator on side in push/pull(2-3 fans front rad, 2-3 fans back of rad) method all as exhaust next on the top you want the very front top fan as intake this is so your not exhaust front intake fans out of your case before they get into the radiator the last 2 top fans back/middle need to be exhaust this will give you lowest possible temps.
would have love to have seen smoke to see the air flow but still great work like always!
Using a computer as a plant stand must be exciting when it's plant watering time.
It’s small enough to just put an ice cube on the soil and let it melt.
talk about liquid cooling
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for doing this.
Nice intro
This video and the original review are what is driving me to get the case. Thank you so much!
Heat rises, move it up as much as possible, not sideways. You have space not doing anything to help on that rear panel. I would flip that top side intake to exhaust and add another exhaust to the rear panel at the top. 5 in 5 out.
On my own case I have added an intake where the unused slot covers are directly beneath the 3080. I've got 8 fans and a front mount 240 aio in a mid size Neo Air.
Mid 60's under load on silent mode. Room is about 25c.
Thank you for this video. I just bought this case for my new PC. Been trying to decide how I wanted to mount my AIO cpu cooler when I get it. Great data!
I was thinking of doing exactly this. Should I? 😂🤔 I'll be getting the Ryzen 5 3600(maybe x) and the Navi 3080 (or 2070 if Navi doesn't perform). Mainly concerned about the noise, the system looks gorgeous!
It's always important to keep the components inside cool...especially with all that many fans to spare.
I just ordered this case and parts to build a completely new system yesterday and was wondering how to run my fans. Thanks!
Do you have any tips for the fans ?
Thought this was an LTT vid when I was scrolling through uploads
At this point, you should have a hovering pc.
There are endless amounts of variations. For example, i run 3 intake fans at the bottom, the other 6 are exhaust fans. My system is 100% air cooled so my cpu also has a Noctua cooler on it. I run my intake fans at a higher RPM than the exhaust. Great cooling and keeps negative pressure.
Thank you! This was just what I needed.
When I read the title for some reason i thought that he would have a giant case and let nine subscribers go into it.(idk why)
Would you perfer the ML RGB fans or LL RGB fans from Corsair
Didn't test the one configuration I was looking for: all intake with side AIO.
Logic being that the big open mesh rear will be a large passive exhaust. This setup is relevant becuase I'm building an inverted O11 EVO and the GPU needs fresh air from above, so I want to see if it works better with top exhaust or intake, aio top or side.
The concept of all intake and passive rear mesh works well on the Fractal Torrent which is the next airflow case on the market and has zero exhaust fans.
That rookie AIO placement lmfaoooo
No vertical gpu tested?
This. Watched the first video looking for the vertical GPU testing, noted it was mentioned for this video. Very disappointed that it wasn't in this one.
GamersNexus tested it. It's actually not a bad mount in this case, no pun intended, because it is not right against the glass like in every other case.
Vert GPU in this case is a HUGE help as it does not obstruct the heat rising or airflow from the bottom. This case also does it right as the GPU is not against the glass/side. I have the O11WX ROG (the pre-runner to this case) and it is bad ass as long as you don't mind giving basically all your PCI slots. At $130 plus the $60 for the vertical riser the case is easily worth it and still inline with the cost of an Evolv ATX
Gamers Nexus found the Lian Li vert kit had best temps for gpu AND air cooled gpu with 3x front input fans- however there is no room for bottom fans so maybe 3x side fans and top mount rad would work best in a watercooled gpu setup in that case.
"Is this too much", he asks...
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TOO MUCH RGB, MY FRIEND
Max Bongers yes there is rgb sucks
@@nilen you must love having fun
*need help*
Got that case and a MSI B450 Carbon pro + AIO and 6 Corsair ll120
Now I can’t connect the USB 3.0 from the case with the motherboard because the fans on the bottom are blocking it.
Any ideas?
I'm dealing with the same problem. I'm looking for a replacement cable with a 90 degree connector. Pain.
Thomas Gibilisco today I used a rasp to file the fan and it worked pretty well even though I had to get a lot of plastic away.
I think the fan should still work. I preferred that way because as I red some of these adapters are way to tight so that you pull out the whole USB header when you want to change it. A fan is not as expensive as a motherboard and in my case you don’t even notice it when you look at it.
Cheers and sry if I made any mistakes english is not my first language.
@@danyking660 Nice, glad you got it done. Only other thing I can think of is do two bigger fans on bottom with a space between them. I use those front usb's a lot. I think I will try your idea first. Thanks.
I've bought this case and love it!
I have the aio on the top.
3 of the ll120 on the side exhaust.
And now saving up for another 3 plus the commander pro. But after some thought, i''ll be trying 2 at the bottom directly under the GPU. The 3rd, i feel is wasted right next the the side exhaust, as you'll be pulling in fresh air, and straight out again. So my 3rd one, i'll be using as an exhaust at the back to pull out some of the rising heat from the GPU.
Hi there, planning in getting this case and doing this setup. For the aio do you have your fans above or below the radiator? I think it should go on the bottom but I'm not sure...
@@saul6275 have a look on my channel. Got a video of mine
I've got the fans above the radiator, pulling air through, and exhaust out of the top.
I have 12 in mine 😂 3 Corsair LL120 RGB on bottom intake, 3 Corsair LL120 RGB front/side exaust, and 6 corsair SP120’s on a 360 Rad at the top in push/pull config.
I want to put 9 rgb fans, what controller can manage all?
