UPDATE 14/08/2023: The replacement Motherboard tray for the O11D EVO XL is on its' way. You no longer need a screwdriver or a hammer to release the GPU! yay But in all seriousness, good on Lian Li for introducing such a quick fix and everyone who pre-orders the case will get a fixed version. Cheers :)
-D.
So the case is definitely coming out now? :)
I'm so sad we didn't get Magniumgear Neo Qube 2 Infinity Mirror... :D
King 95 pro, H6 flow should be included in the next update as well as the nv5 although like the y40 isn't a dual chamber, but still a good looking panoramic case
Miss my O11 Dynamic fish tank! Passing it on to my wife for her build, so at least I can continue to admire it :)
What did you move into?
Love my 011 Dynamic
@@archief1 I got a Fractal Torrent with my new build! It's great but not as pleasing to the the eye lol
So how did you even miss it?
@@adonromadhon3630 because it's in a box in a closet and not on my desk with all my components in it?
I just moved my rig into an NV7 and I couldn't be happier. It is simply stunning.
I've been watching your case reviews for many years, and they are universally excellent. This is a great topic for a case discussion. This issue I have with dual chamber cases is that they tend to have really large volumes compared to standard mid-towers - all that space in the PSU section makes for easy cable routing, but with the move to M.2 drives located on MBs, there is a diminishing requirement to find space for either older physical hard drives or even 2.5" SSDs. The smallest dual chamber case that I can recall was the Riotoro CR1088 at 33 litres. Keep up the great work Dmitry.
How convenient, I was looking for a new dual chamber case and yah already made a video to help me. Thanks
I've been on the Phanteks Evolv Shift Air for like 2 years now because I've been on itx for a couple of years now but I REALLY want to redo my setup with a new desk and the NV7 is such an absolutely stunning case!
Got an O11 Air mini and I love it. I wanted a small-iss case that would fit full size components and keep them cool, and it has delivered wonderfully.
The O11 Air mini is awesome for sure. How are you cooling it?
-D.
@@HardwareCanucks I went 100% air cooling: 4x140mm noctua fans between the front and bottom for intake, 4xLian li unifans on the top and back for exhaust, and a Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 for the CPU. With that my 12700k and 4080 stay nice and cool without much noise while gaming.
Me too! Needed a system unit that would fit under the table (short but large internal volume),
While being something that could handle full size parts (ATX mobo, full size power supply).
I had a 280mm rad AIO and we thankfully fit it in front mounted.
🙈😆 (Lian Li’s O11 Air Mini can only fit a 280mm rad top mounted IF the Mobo is ITX or mATX in 5-slot mode.)
Same here too, full air cooling but with p12 max fans instead and a NH-D15. Had to dial them down the p12max a bit since when it reaches 2400 rpm, it gets kinda noisy lol.
My favorite is O11 air mini, with combination with AK620 that case looks super neat.
You can fit 140x2 in the front, 240 on the side, 120x3 on bottom and the top, 120 in the rear.
It's pretty small but very mighty for its size. It cools very well too.
It's great to see dual chamber case increas, I really love this trend.
Love my air mini too.... 😊
I'm currently using the Corsair 740, and I absolutely love it! It provides just about all the space I need for everything. While it doesn't feature tempered glass and might not have enough room for a larger custom card like the 4080 Strix, it fits founders and AMD reference cards nicely. I'm considering getting another dual chamber case in the future to have even more space, but for now, I'm satisfied with what I have.
did a build for a friend a while back and he wanted the lian li white evo , got so hooked on that case that i did a new build for myself , love the white lian li evo build with 9 infinity fans. only thing left to really finish my build are the strimer v2 cables
switched to the O11l Mini. No regrets. Such a great looking case. Love the size and look.
The Corsair Air 540 was also an amazing dual chamber case. I just retired mine as I'm going for a smaller footprint with my Jonsbo D41. Now I have room for a larger monitor 😜
Yup, that was one of my favorite cases too - massive but ahead of its time in 2012 or so when they first came out (black and white as well) ❤
I have 2 systems currently. One in an Air 540 and the other in an O11 Dynamic. Love me some dual chamber cases!
The Air 540 was really cool for sure. Back in the time when Corsair was experimenting with chapes and layouts. Hope they come back with something inspired by the last few years.
-D.
I upgraded to an air 540 in 2021, I love it and it's so much better looking than the fish tanks.
@@HardwareCanucksChapes???
I built several systems now. But once I went 011D I never wanna go any other case. The combo between aesthetics, space, and functionality as well as build quality just kept me hooked.
I'm using the Phanteks NV7 full watercooled with three 360 rads, including a thick one in the top, and I also got the mega bundle to fill it up with the D30 fans and it's great.
I’m so glad I watched this. Smart comments section. I found value here. Wish me luck!!
I have lian li o11 snow white edition , definatrly first time getting a fancy case that show case the build , seeing it make my build feel like premium
Never thought I would buy a full tower again in my life, but the NV7 stole my heart, I love it!
I plan to pick up the Phanteks NV7 for my next build and have fallen in love with it ever since I first saw it. The price point is a little high but I think it’s worth it for what the case offers and will be great for my plans with a water cooled build.
Currently have the original O11 dynamic. (I had got it for the cheaper pre-oder price before the case exploded in popularity).I have a full custom loop in the O11, but I'm looking for the NV7 for my next build after seeing your review on it.
I've got that too, then the rog version, then the dynamic, then the xl, now I'm at a toss up between sff, the evo xl or nv7.
Just completed a gaming build in the H6 Flow and absolutely love it. I think if I do another build I would go to the H9 just for the added height and space.
O11 Dynamic Evo XL.... Recently bought. 100%
I’m still using the Lian-li PC-O9, and gonna use it again in my next build. Amazing case.
Recently upgraded from the Phanteks Evolv X to the NV7, and wow... no regrets.
I do wish there was just 2 or 3 cm more space behind the motherboard tray as trying to manage cables for 10 or more ARGB fans can be an issue.
I have the nv7 as well and I didn't even do cable management just for that reason.. could get shit to feel right I had to just squeeze the back panel on...
@@coreywagner8998 I had to end up doing that as well. I'm not diving back into that mess in a hurry. 🤣
@@JeremyArchie lol right! Other than that the case is beautiful! I got a 8.8 inch screen to put at the top where that big gap above the motherboard is.
@@coreywagner8998can you link the screen? I also have the phanteks nv7 and would like to fill in the space.
I'm still using the original O11-Dynamic, which I bought based of your Video back in the days. Besides of one broken USB Port at the front it works fine since then.
Loves the O11 dynamic razer until the 4090 came out and I upgraded to the EVO…absolutely perfect case to build in. Didn’t think they could improve this much but boy oh boy was I wrong. The EVO is perfect for my custom loop
Thank you... title itself is what im searching for
Ive been looking for a good reverse style case and i think i found one. o11 dynamic evo. you know sometimes, some people put their computers on the left side of their table(like me). lol i was planning to get the segotep phoenix t1 but no one really has reviewed it. so thank you HC for this video and other ones! it helped me!
I'm personally running the Phanteks 719 (Enthoo Lux 2) dual chamber case and love it.
Speaking of Dual Chamber, I think eGPU style enclosures for our Graphics Cards will be the way to go when 5000 series comes out with even higher power requirements and higher heat output.
Put our motherboard+drives etc in a small case and have an x16 ribbon ran out to another case containing our graphics card and a 2nd power supply. Would be great to see companies like InWin make pairings for their smaller cases (eg a1 plus) that you can stack your existing case ontop of your gpu case.
It would be nice to have a Midtower that basically separates into 2 matx sized cases with handles for moving around.
Tried 3 of them. Evo all samples had issues: misaligned panels, short stand-offs or twisted frame. H9 good, but bottom fans too close to bottom of the case. Will be noisy. Spacer required. NZXT should’ve included a mounting bracket that would solve that issue and make a breeze to install fans. NV7, amazing case. Tried quite a few cases during the past two years (15ish) and settled with the NV7.
Love the video! Would it be possible for you to look into the DIYPC dual chamber cases? they seem like a decent case, except for the lack of reviews on the case/ series.
Lian Li O11 Mini Air is my favorite dual-chamber case as it allows me to place it horizontally in a 19" 4-post shelf. The computer case can hide inside a 25U, 32U, or even a 45U enclosure. I prefer a 32U, which is more to my liking as it can fit through the door easily.
I run the o-11 mini, love it. My son's build is a white o-11 evo
I'm happy to see there's more dual-chamber cases. They're easier to build in, more versatile, generally have better airflow, and hide everything you don't want to see: PSU, HDDs, excess cables, etc. I STILL don't feel the need to upgrade from my original Lian Li O11-Air.
I had a Cooler Master EVO XB in 2017. Was a great case!
Great video! Last year I made a big purchase mistake. I kept having my eye on the Lian Li 011 Air Chassis because for its small size it could house an atx mobo and psu. The Micro Center guy told me it would be a little smaller in width because I had a place in mind to put it but it didn't fit and I never returned the case. So I've kept on using my Fractal Design Define R6. My thought originally was to make more space on my desk without having to spend more money on a whole new system. Not sure what I will do with the Lian Li now.
I wish this video had come out two weeks ago. There wasn't really a good comparison of this style of cases until now. I just bought an O-11 Dynamic, and this video would've changed my decision on which one to buy had it been available at the time.
I had my eyes on the NV7 but i really dont want such a massive case. unfortunately the NV5 changed some of the best parts of the NV7 (specifically the back door). Right now, I've got my eyes on the O11D Mini.
I have the NV7, the footprint is similar to the 011 evo, it's just taller to accommodate the top rear mounted PSU.
Ha I’m in a similar situation. Coming from a Phanteks evolv case I loved the nv7 for the back door but it was massive. Saw the nv5 and I thought this is the one. Then found out it did not include the back door. Leaning towards the O11d mini as well
The Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2 is also a nice case. Wish it was a tiny bit taller to allow more clearance on the top ports of the motherboard.
A couple of weeks late for this: Lian Li O11 Air Mini. It's the goldilocks size for my use. It's custom water-cooled (CPU and GPU) with multiple quick-disconnect fittings (I like being able to swap parts easily) and all power cables are cut to length and sleeved.
I just built in the o11d evo for myself and the 011 air mini. The air mini was fairly robust and overall good. The o11d evo took a while to understand, but in the end is absolutely amazing and deserves all the praise it's gotten. 11/10 case.
Picked up an NZXT H9 flow a couple months ago. Easiest case I have ever built in
I been building PCs for 25years and Lian Li cases are great. Especially all of the O11 series.
Installing the phanteks display in the NV7 when released. Its like the space above motherboard was made for it.
I have Lian LI O11 air mini case. Put small extra bracket on top of case, and I fitted 360mm radiator. It's pretty good case for a start. Price was around 150€ ( that includes 25% tax ). I will be building custom case soon enough that can fit 420mm radiator, and those oversized gpu's.
I love my O11 air mini. It fits a simple air cooled system with no extra space. My favorite dual chamber case. That NZXT looks cool tho. So does the Phanteks.
My HTPC is the 011 Dynamic mini and my main rig is the 011 Dynamic Evo. It's definitely a marquee case FTW!!
My old Corsair cases (I have the big and small ones) are excellent.
The only way I'd changed is for one with space in the back for an extra motherboard.
Currently running a Lian Li o11 Air Mini. I was close to getting the Asus TUF GT502 but went against it because of the slightly higher price and glass front though the carry handles would have been nice. My old case, Corsair C70, had carry handles and they were great to have when cleaning day rolled around.
I have the H9 and I love it.
I have an H9 flow and Nv7 build here, Nv7 for looks and H9 for ease of build
Switched from Lian Li O11DXL-X O11 Dynamic XL ROG Certified to Phanteks NV7, couldn't be more happier.
We built my wife's PC in the O11D Evo, so she could invert her build (it sits on the left side of her desk). I like that it came with no fans, as she wanted all Corsair. After having built my PC in the ASUS Helios, I was jealous how much easier hers was to cable manage xD
I just got a Hyte Y40 and after seeing more of the O11 Dynamic, I regret not getting that instead... The included PCIE extension is great tho and I still love my Y40
O11 dynamic Mini..takes everything! Compact and smart. And you still can fit a dual rad custom water-cooling system
i love my lian li dynamic, and i won't change it out for anything other then the evo, tho i have to admit i would love to see corsair do an evo style dual chamber. even more so with the storage tray door, that is sleek.
I like my O11D mini case because of its small size. With offset bracket I can combine ATX motherboard, 360AIO, long GPU together in this case. The only problem is the case only support SFX or SFX-L PSU but I bought a ROG loki 1000w SFX-L PSU and now there is no problem at all
NZXT H9 Elite is sick with the glass on top !
We need more compact cases in the market for sure. Like the montech sky two, Lian li air mini, Y40….
Im still using the In-win 303 case done me well but my next build i think the Lian Li looks the one ill go with
O11 Air Mini is my favorite....I had an Evo but downsized and it's perfect...5800x3d with 3090ti
Relocating the I/O to the front bottom Is my favorite part so I can put it on my desk or set it on the floor which I would like to see on a lot more cases. I like the larger holes over the fine mesh holes but think they are to far apart for better air flow.
Cannot wait for the Lian li XL Evo
The interesting thing is Coolermaster haf 700 evo also dual chamber and also excellent airflow system.
Would you recommend the h9 flow or lian li 011d evo rgb
Good list for big dual-chamber cases... but I'm sure some more compact ones should make any 'top/best/favourite' list.
What are everyone’s thought on the o11 dynamic razer edition? That’s what I’ve been eyeing for my new build. I love my razer huntsman elite keyboard and mouse pad I feel like it would be a great add
@HardwareCanucks miss the old scoring system you used to use, green pros and red cons. would love to see it come back.
The prices aren't bad for tempered glass and metal. In the old days we use to pay just as much or more for plexiglass and plastic. I love my o11d xl and can't wait for the Evo release.
With the 011 dynamic a certain GPU was difficult to install I previously had the MSI SUPREME X 3090ti (RIP my gpu died and got stolen in the mail) getting the card to install on the case was difficult u had to pay extra close attention it was a tight fit from the IO or pci slot on case to the pci slot on motherboard I had no issues with my new Zotac 4090 amp extreme card the case I have zero regrets buying it I can just unplug one plug per fan bracket with 3 fans dust it off and put it back in most easiest to clean case I ever own
My red Hyte Y40 isn't dual chamber.. but it sure as hell looks good with a ROG Strix 4090 vertically mounted. So that's the black and red part of the theme. Red cablemod cables. 12900k with a white ROG Apex z790. Black deepcool LS720 360mm rad up top with the new white phanteks d30 fans shown in the video in the white nv7. Two white lian li uni infinity 140mm fans on the side for intake as well as one in the bottom just because I had an extra. LOL. If they had 140mm versions of the Phanteks D30 fans I would have went with those just because you don't have to flip the fan around to and use the back. But one could argue the infinity backs already look incredible. It's crazy how well the two different fans compliment eachother.
I just ordered a white phanteks aio though and I actually might switch to either the H9 flow or the NV7 but I really dig the compact size of the y40 and I get great thermals. I love the primary red and white theme with the black background. It just looks so good to me! I wish there were some dual chamber cases in red..
I'm running the OG O11 since launch and I haven't changed cases since !
I have the hyte y40 and it's very nice. Looks like a dual chamber and still is very compact. But two downsides that you have to keep in mind is that the airflow is not the best. I think Nexus tested it. You have to put all fans which you will probably do anyway.
And the second thing is that my 280 Arctic freezer aio can't be mounted with the tubes oriented upside at the side panel because the fans block it. When you want to mount an aio sideways you need to look for flexible tubes so that they don't press against the gpu
I wish they made a dual chamber case specifically for vertical gpu builds so the foot print didn't have to be so darn big. Cases with the typical PSU shroud are INCHES thinner than my OG Lian Li 011 dynamic, while still fitting a 420mm front radiator into most full towers and even some mid towers now.
I wanted the Lian Li Li011 *_so bad_* but it's impossible to get in white without going through some shady reseller and paying $39.99 in "shipping." I ended up getting the Antec Performance 1 FT W, with a vertical GPU mount. The case was only $120 with Black Friday but I did have to shell out another ridiculous $40 for the GPU mount though, and that was on sale from $50!
Hi brother i am planning to buy a PC case. should i get nzxt h9 flow or o11 dynamic Evo
Awesome comparison . Was that a glacier one 360 t30 v2 in the h9? I would love to watch a review of it😁
Its the D30 AIO variant. But a T30 is coming :)
-D.
Not sure if this one fits the dual chamber thing, but, I love the Thermaltake The Tower 900, despite the price, but that is more like a humongus and somewhat permanent case due to its size and heft. But due to that size, it also fits dual loop watercooling with dual 480/560mm rad support and up to 14 140mm fans. *And* it still has a 5.25" front bay for a USB hub, BD drive/burner, floppy drive, multi-card reader or whateve else you'd want in a 5.25" bay. Personally I love that 5.25" bay, as I also use my gaming rig as my media rig too, and cant be bothered to waste money on a overpriced BD (tv)player or home cinema set with low tier Hi-Fi when I have my audiophile Hi-Fi setup, complete with DAC for gaming and dedicated soundcard for movies and music, which is also the only way a dedicated (internal)soundcard(not including DACs/external soundcards, they're fine and practical comparatively) is reasonable and justifiable nowadays IMO, as on-board audio is overkill for most people nowadays both in quality and amount of input/output ports and a cheap DAC/External is more reasibable abd practical anyhow, due to the on the fly precise audio control and good/high audio quality for the price.
I am a new builder, can I place a Corsair iCUE Link QX120 at the top? I will use an air cooler to cool the CPU Peerless Assassin 120 SE?
you can also check the Asus GT502, that case is super easy to build with
My setup is in a Dynamic XL and ranks Top 10 on TS. You can fit 19+ fans so it makes sense 😆.
Have the o11 air mini, don't know if iy counts but its a brilliant case
I wish there was a similar video for cases that can fit 180mm fans. :D The Fractal Torrent cannot fit a 360 radiator on the top and looking for alternatives has been a nightmare. Also supporting 200mm =/= support for 180mm as I found out the hard way with Cooler Master H500m.
I orered a montecht Kind 95, wonder where that would place on this list. I had my pc built by a friend of mine, but I have been upgrading it. Now I have a 3090, and with the memory running hot I decided to go hard or go home, and ordered a case with more airflow (I have a fractal design Define 7 compact now) and I ordered a AIO watercooler and new thermal pads an paste. Never done anything like this in my life so I'm excited to see how it ends up. Is there anyone with advice for how to do placement for a set-up with 2 AIO's in one case?
I am very curious about the 750. It can hold some HDDs too it seems. But the urge to make a wooden box myself to just put two systems on motherboard trays in, is very strong too. Not so strong that I get it done, but strong enough to stop me from buying new cases..
I was going for the NZXT H9, but I've seen other reviews saying that the GPU cable are touching /bending/forcing when closing the glass panel, not good. I want a case that has more width.
any compact micro-atx dual chamber chasis in 2023?
like crystal 280x before.
Can you guys recommend case that can fit atx motherboard and trindetz ram with 280 radiator on top .
Hi Dimitri I want to buy Corsair HS80 USB but people say it doesnt have good audio. Since i never used headset before i dont know how bad it is. Its for 74 dollar. Im on PC, Casual gamer dont know how to eq. The Headsets like arctis and Logitech G Pro x probably has better sound quality but i really dont know how much i will miss out in terms of sound? Im not audiophile but dont want to regret it later since i cant return the product (i dont live in usa).
out of 10 how much do you rate hs80 wired's sound performance? Is it really bad no matter what you do or it is not noticable for me compared to SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 something. Can you please tell me when compared to other headphones, how much does the HS80 USB fall behind in terms of sound quality? Will I be satisfied with footsteps, music, and movies cause its good enough for casual gamer or i should look for other headsets?
MagniumGear Qube Infinity should be part of this. Solid case and Phanteks lineage
Any of these able to support arctic freezer ii 420 aio top mounted?
For those on a budget and looking for dual chamber case, I recommend the Tecware VX models ranging from VXC,VXN,VXR,VXM. all are dual chamber cases with different dimensions to suit your needs.
Talking about these more "budget cases", these dual chamber ones are only for water cooling/aio or I can use them with air cooling only too? I'll probably get an i5-12600, but AIOs on my budget are only the very cheap ones, and I don't trust water on top of a lot of money, so I'm leaning towards air cooling. That being said, I love the visual of these cases with glass on both sides and the budget ones are the same price as the regular cases, but I don't know the thermals, air flow and everyone seems to use AIOs with these ones. Also, my room is very hot and not well ventilated, can this pose a problem?
@@fll42 I was using a budget AIO too from Aigo(before i changed to a new AIO from Cooler Master 360ML). It was Aigo Darkflash Symphony 240 (2x120mm fans on the radiator) mounted at the top and paired with Tecware VXR case with 6 fans ( 3 sides and 3 bottom) set for intake. Mind you this was also budget fans from Aigo all set for intake as the AIO was only for exhaust. Would say a relatively budget build overall paired with an i5-10400F. I live in Malaysia, a hot tropical country. The temperature i had on idle range from 35-40 degree Celsius. And while gaming it would only reach up to 50-60 degree Celsius. I believe the same too as water cooling is expensive and water should not be inside a pc. My room is not well ventilated too and i have a ceiling fan to regulate the temperature in the room but overall temps are not really that high or anything that astronomically a threat.
The darkflash c285 series are also good options. I got the tecware vxn evo and it's a great budget case.
All I wanted is a good mATX case with good thermal and nice design. But dang those are expensive 😂
I love the thermaltake core p6 snow..amazing case..still.havetm taken the plastic off!!
Are there cases where the motherboard sits horizontally and the case is compact and supports full atc
can you remove that cable bar near the 24pin header?
Where would you rate the NZXT H6 Flow on this list?
What Motherboard is in the nv7 build?
The nzxt h6 flow takes things a step further then the 9? Have you seen it?
Does the nzxt h9 flow come with rgb fans?
