I just started receiving all these parts; question: if you mount the mobo tray at the highest point in the case is there still room at the top for a push pull radiator??
I feel like Lian Li missed an opportunity with their new XL case to make a 420 aio to properly fill the case. I think the highlight of the case being upright gpu mount and 140mm fans with a 420mm radiator capacity...
Absolutely. I quintuple checked there was no 420 galahad before going with the thermaltake th420. Still cool, but i will likely replace the fans with uni infinities to match the rest of the case fans in the future.
I am building my PC with this case right now, thank you for the video, I shall use it as a guide. Maybe with a little better cable management though ;-)
Hi. I have this case with lian li vertical gpu, i mounted the kit and the little metal thing i didnt put anywhere.. should i put it ? i can t find any tutorial on yt for this specific case.. only for o11 evo non xl.
Thanks so much for this in depth explanation. Did my build this weekend. Your video was critical in building this. Not getting thermal throttling. Case is clean and looks amazing with all the great infinity fans along with this very cool LCD AIO Cooler from Lian Li. Also did it in reverse mode.
I always find it interesting when people mount the GPU anyt way other than just the classic Horizontal way Because I wanted to have the nice big back plate showing where I could make an acrylic cover for it with custom art on it. But I also do see some of the appeal of other ways.
What did you end up plugging into that Corsair 2.0 USB HUB? I'm building a relatively similar build soon and I can't figure out if I need one or not, I know you connected the LCD Galahad, but besides that?
few days before i do my new build in the mini, in preparation of that i found your video for sl v2 fans setup earlier and now this one even if it's not for the mini ! You'll definitely be my virtual assistant for that build 😅
I installed this aio 2 days ago and the pump is making a strange noise. Is this normal? It's cooling well and my temperatures haven't gone over 68 degrees in game but I'm really worried about the sound

I have a few questions. I’ve based my build on most of what you’ve used in this build. The z690 formula motherboard in the evo xl. I’m having an issue getting the gpu bracket top slot to fit into that space. It’s a very tight area and I can’t seem to get it in there but I see you somehow managed it. Also, I’m not sure which cable to use to plug into the 8 pin plug under the 24 pin plug on the motherboard. I’m using the lian li streamers and the hxi 1500 corsair psu. In addition, my gtx 3060 only has 1 (8 pin) plug for power yet the streamer has 2. Will plugging in one and not the other cause any issue?
@@jonnybravo5285 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xT36IDSQBX4.html as for the strimmers I haven't tried with just one connector but in theory it should be fine
you thanks man i have already built a pc like 3 years ago and im building a new one soon. i have worked and now i can build a god pc if you want to know the specs then i will tell you but i really appreciate this video bc it does help me when im building one again.
Beautiful build! I'm working on a parts list and I've been racking my brain for days now to figure out a better option for the GPU anti-sag. The bracket in the video doesn't seem as if it would help much. The sag is going to be from the front right corner... not the rear corner. There's gotta be a better method, even if it means a little DIY/Modding to possibly configure a support that would run a narrow arm/shelf under the card and be supported from the side part of the case between the MOBO and the side fan area.
Hello everyone.. I started building a computer but ran into a problem, if you can call it that... I have a Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO RGB CASE and Lian Li UNI FAN SL-INF 140mm I have a technical question regarding the installation of 3 X 140mm fans which are on the front, i.e. to the right of the motherboard...I can't screw more than 8 screws there because the upright bracket is a bit short. ..On the first and last fan, the upper screws, which are 2 each, have nowhere to screw....The fans I watched a video in which 3 fans of 120 mm fit perfectly and all 12 screws are screwed to them... But for 3 fans of 140 mm something is not right... Does anyone know where I'm going wrong?
i find connecting ssd's to the panel impossible on any lian li case when its flushed up on the side panel like that, most cables don't come in the angle needed, especially the sata power cable
Extremely helpful and authentic, thank you a lot! But I dont understand: how do some builders/builds avoid to have some single cables visible while here I can still see many cables going from/to motherboard? This here seems more realistic! So how is it that so many other builds can hide their cables but fans i.e. still work?! So confused
Wish I'd gotten the same motherboard as you haha 😂 Struggling to find the right cables into correct slots, even while consulting manuals upon manuals upon google searches... Not to mention rewinding and rewatching your video! It's an extremely helpful resource. Thank you
Would the placement of the Liquid Cooler, not be the best solution horizontal in the top? And 3x120 fans exhaust in the side. There will be less “stress” on the pump circulation?
One thing I wonder. The cables for pass through mode that connect to the motherboard. Are they truly optional? Meaning you can not even connect them in the first place (instead of connecting the cable but not using pass through mode). Wouldn't the pc maybe complain that no cpu/aio fan is connected if you chose to run everything through the lian li boxes and leave those cables off entirely? Because how would the Motherboard know you actually have a cpu fan or aio connected but you're running it through a separate device? Or does the motherboard not even care if nothing is plugged into those plugs?
so if u use usb connection for the controller you dont need to connect the small and thin cable to motherboard headers? , im building a pc and i hate that cable
Dou you think we can mount rog strix 4090 on the side? Kinda doubt it because galax 4070 ti already cram the side, and strix a bit bigger and longer. 🤔
35:54 I Bought the same splitter but somehow my front panel not working… I cabled everything correctly, every usb device I connect it’s said unknown devices windows can’t do shit bla bla bla so idk. If I only connect one of the white cable directly to the mobo it’s working but with splitter it’s not
I installed this aio 2 days ago and the pump is making a strange noise. Is this normal? It's cooling well and my temperatures haven't gone over 68 degrees in game but I'm really worried about the sound
Very nice. I just ordered the Galahad II LCD cooler, but didn't notice that it wasn't the Infinite version. I'm assuming I can just swap the three RGB fans on it and replace them with 3 infinite fans to match the rest of my fans.
Agreed. I have 17 Total Fans in this Case with 14 SL UNI V2 Fans, but I’m gonna swap to Infinity. You could Top 3 Reversed 120mm (Intake) or 6 if you do a Push/Pull Config (Intake) Side 3 140mm (Exhaust) Bottom 3 Reversed 120mm (Intake) Rear 1 or 2 120mm (Exhaust)
Thank you very much for this. I want to upgrade my PC, and currently I have a z490 motherboard with an i7-11700kF CPU and Rog Strix RTX 3080 GPU. I want to upgrade with all the PC parts you have used, Do you think it will still be compatible with my RTX 3080 GPU? I am not really a PC builder but I am learning heaps from you videos. Thank you!
I plan on using the TL fans on the AIO instead of the fans that come with it. Its already daisy chained to the other 7 I have in my system. Can I just plug in the USB-C and the pump AIO header into the motherboard? Or do I need to use the fans that come with it and the controller? All my PC fans are TL fans btw
I personally would recommend connecting the ones on the rad to their own port on the controller and then setting those ones particularly to respond to the CPU temp in L Connect. Otherwise yes, that's fine.
So I purchased the NZXT splitter because my strimmer cables were not showing up in L-connect and couldn't change the RGB. I thought this may be a fix but it wasn't has anyone got any idea on why its not showing up. I have a msi mag B550 tomahawk motherboard please help.
Do i need a NZXT usb hub, or any USB hub if i have a Hyte Y70 Touch, ROG STRIX B650-A GAMING WIFI, Galahad 2 LCD SL-INF, 3 reverse SL-INF, 1 normal SL-INF, LL Strimer V2 for 24 pin and two 8 pin? One technician told me to plug all fans to the AIO controller which eats one USB 2.0, the case will eat another USB 2.0, and the Strimer can just connect to the mobo. Will the strimer perform as normal if connected to mobo directly instead of controller?
Is the pre-applied thermal paste enough for 13 - 14 gen Intel? Cause they are not square like anymore and they are larger CPUs. Is there enough paste so that when you screw the pump to the Motherboard it expands to cover the whole cpu?
Very cool build. The explanation is very good but i have one question. I have 360 GA II inf AIO with controller and i have plug in x6 reverse inf (ch1 and Ch2), x3 AIO fans (ch3), x1 inf back fan (ch4) but for the front rgb stip is no other port for. I know that i could plug it to mobo 5v argb but how to sync all the light's including front rgb from L-software?
Hi, first love your channel. Would like to know if you can plug in the splitter for the PWM and the RGB from the radiator fans to the LCD pump connector, and then the header of the pump to the AIO Pump header on the M/B? Will the board throw a fit if it doesn’t detect the PWM if there are no connection to the CPU fan header? Hope this makes sense.
Hey. I plugged in my aio inf fans power cable into the cpu fan header on the motherboard. I then plugged my other inf fans in the chassi to my hub controller and plugged that into a chassi fan header on the motherboard. When I look in bios there is only 1 fan recognition at that is “cpu fan”. All my fans are running at the same speed as the cpu fans even tho I plugged the hub into a chassi fan, they don’t come up under “chassi fan 1” in bios. What do I need to do? I want the motherboard to change the rpm of the aio fans depending on the cpu temps but I want the chassi fans to not change rpm depending on the cpu temp.
I'm buying this case in a few days and saw the upright GPU config in a pre-release video but when I read the online case docs I didn't see anything about that option. Does it come with the case or do I have to buy it?
hello im using Lian Li Dynamic Evo o11 i think... and i already attached my ssd on the back panel but i can't find the sata and power cable to attach on my ssd :
Just finished almost this exact same build and everything basically works, but I have no control over any of the RGB in the case (except for the AIO pumphead) or fan speeds.
This is definitely looking to be my next case but prefer it in black, been a fan of corsair cases for a while current owner of the 500D SE, but the case has no room for cable management, this is a full tower case but seems quite small for a full tower, its closer to a mid tower case.
Are the only Intakes the bottom fans? Isnt that too much negative pressure? Im about to do my build and wondering how your temps are with this current setup. Should I make the rear and bottom intakes and the side and top exhausts with the AIO being on the side?
@@TheProvokedPrawn Okay thanks man! I got my LCD fans today that i was going to put on the AIO as exhaust, and was poking around and saw this video saying you changed it, so I'm going to return them and get the Reverse LCD fans that way I can use the screens haha. Would you say its okay to use only 3 reversed fans on the inside of the case and then 3 non reversed 120's on the backside of the AIO? They'd all be set to intake but the LEDS would be visible from the outside of the case.
You connected everything correctly? Checked l connect for firmware updates? One fan spinning is odd, very odd. It suggests the fans aren't connected properly but you say the RGB is
What a video Prawn. Thank you. This video inspired me to ditch my new build with a Y70 non-touch (within the 30 day return policy) and put it all inside this beautiful EVO XL case. Also ordered the 140mm Infinity fans as well. I do have a H150i Link LCD 360mm I was going to keep and top mount the radiator where I can't see those fans but may end up getting the same AIO from Lian Li. I'll have to see if it's noticeable enough to bother me but I do like the H150i link setup with no wires coming out of it (i don't think it performs as well as the lian li aio though). Anyway, awesome video and thanks again.
Awesome build mate! Thank you for the extensive guide. I actually have the same case but instead I would like to put in 10 LCD fans and 3 infinity ones. 3 LCD reverse at bottom case, 3 non LCD on top (with liquid cooler), 3 LCD on side case, 1 LCD on rear case and 3 on the bottom section of the water cooler. May I ask if this will work? I believe I need two controllers because only 7 LCD per controller correct?
Correct. You'd need two controllers and PCIe power for both which might be a possible problem ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l7-6d3w8_ic.html
Hi PP, Great video btw, I have just finished the same build, might have used you great ideas and it looks fantastic.. I have looked at the Lian Li website for RGB lighting on the case and it worked perfectly except when I try and sync it with my system setting. I can't get to stay synced, every time I start PC it will not sync with Lian Li or MB software. (its says to push 'M' button to the 8th cycle and hold for 3 seconds) It does sync but reverts after restart. I would appreciate if you could tell me what I am doing wrong. 🐡
Why wouldn't you set the AIO fans up reverse where it's sucking in cool air from outside and then pulling it through and exhausting it out the top? Never understood why people, including when doing top mounts would want to suck the air inside the case which is going to be hotter than the air outside of the case through their rad? Almost like if a car was sitting idle and you had your radiator fans sucking air from inside the engine bay and exhausting it through the front of the car. Also is it just me or do they need to reverse the cooling tubes? That way they wouldn't be crossed and would run parallel? I love your videos though man. You do great work and share tons of knowledge. Thanks
I feel lian li have missed an opportunity here with the lcd Galahad by not including the lcd option with the performance Galahad. I’m going to be doing a similar build but with a 7950x3d and all black with the performance Galahad in a push pull config.
What was the best setup for airflow mr prawn?im looking for a case that can cool my mid build ASUS ROG Strix X670E E Gaming WiFi with 7900X3D with V-Cache,stil not sure about what ram im going to get as it gets expensive the lower the CL,any tips or links appreciated,Lian Li O11 Dynamic Evo XL and the ASUS TUF Gaming GT502 builds ive seen have caught my eye so far.
@@TheProvokedPrawn Hey cheers for the link,its important i get this build right and that she dosnt have over heating issues like my current setup,ive seen that towers are easier to keep cool.
I ordered this same white case today. The new gpu brackets are out of stock so need to get them later. This Lian Li Dynamic PC-011 PCMR is way too small for 4080, even with cooler master V3 Vertical bracket the GPU's fans are way too close to side glass. I want to change my corsair fans to Lian Li because the wireless daisychain. And switch to bigger 140mm fans too, but i have to wait for those 140mm Reverse fans...there is only 120mm available at the moment.😑 Only problem is that my CPU cooler (nzxt kraken z73) uses normal 120mm non-led fans, and if i change them to Lian Li's Infinity fans...can i daisychain just the RGB with other Lian li fans in the case and leave the fans rpm control to nzxt app?? It would look bad if rgb is not in sync.😬 Thanks for any tips or advice. Your channel is gold! 🤩
Top build!! Thanks for the tutorial, will save it for whenever I attempt my own build in the next few months. Question, is it worth it to add a dedicated SSD 250GB just for the OS? And then another 2TB one Gen 4 to run the games and programs? thank you!
I have a question. I bought the AIO, and the 2 of the 3 pack fan and one of the single fan one. Will I use both the AIO hub and one of the hubs that comes with the 3 fan pack one as they are both different.
@TheProvokedPrawn Ah, okay, thanks. And one more question can I connect the triple pack hub small wire to the Aio hub? If not, if I use two hubs, can they still sync? And thanks for answering my questions.
Can you fit 4x 120 at the bottom too? Were you not able to use one of the 2 supplied side tray covers at the bottom or the rad to fill the gap? so much help these builds, much appreciated
@@TheProvokedPrawn lol yeah you right that doesn't make sense if 4 can fit at the top, looks like we need to wait for the 140 SL INF reverse ones, really hope they will make them, on another question if you can help, I'm looking to do the 360 AIO on the side with push pull but feel it is a waste of money to also get SL120 INF reverse for the side-rear(behind the rad) of case as it wont be seen, what other Lian Li non RGB fans could i pair up(more or less same (rpm/cfm/mm-h20) with the SL120 INF reverse on the inside of case on the rad, and could these fans still connect to the same hub for RPM control? many thanks
