- Testing the best fan and cooling layout in the Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO allowing me to answer the important questions below on how you should build in this case.
IMPORTANT NEW INFORMATION - The high temperatures with the upright GPU shown in the video were caused by the GPU I used rather than the case or the upright GPU kit. In fact using the upright GPU kit gives some of the best temperatures in this case. For more details see - • Lian Li O11 Dynamic EV...

This channel is where I go when I want to know these kinds of *actually useful* things which bigger youtubers ignore entirely. Keep it up!
for real, this guy is the shit 👌
Total 👍
Thank you good sir for actually giving content, not just a regurgitation of product specs and what one can gleam using their eyes.
This is probably one of the most thorough and exhaustive fan/aio/gpu configuration case tests I have ever seen. Much appreciated.
he has a second video about the upright configuration where he shows its actually better sometimes. The card he used has a bug with being upright. Since your comment is only a day old I figured you'd like to know
This is brilliant, I’m just about to build my EVO case with the Lian-Li SL-INF fans and I’ve been so undecided how to have the layout until now. Thanks for taking the time to make this video, definitely earned a sub from me.
What did you decide? The infinity fans with the mirrors make the side fans set as exhaust matter a esthetically.
If I had not already purchased the Evo, you would have just sold it to me.
Thank you for providing the most and last comprehensive guide to cooling this build that we will ever need. Your testing methodology is meticulous and perfect. I cannot say enough how appreciative I am that you made this guide!
Just wanted to say, thank you for going through all the efforts of testing. Bought a Lian Li and this video is just a blessing... Thank you
It's fantastic to see how the different fan configurations perform. Thank you for putting in the work to let us know which options we should consider! Thumbs up.
I'm building my Evo in the next several weeks. Thank you for spending so much time and effort showing the different configs and results. Much appreciated.
and how is it going?
@@krokettekrokette5465 This was my son's computer that we built and he's extremely happy with the temps. I don't have the exact temp numbers but his is also completely water cooled and we set the fans up per the best config as Mr. Flannigan mentioned. His extensive testing was very helpful and well appreciated.
Excellent review. Covered all the questions I potentially had on every possible combinations of fans and cooling. Thank you for a great and thorough review.
Thanks for taking the time to do this video!! This is exactly what we need in terms of case reviews.
Great video, loved how thorough you were. Just ordered this case to help with heat soak issues I'm having with my current editing build and had no clue how I should configure my fans+AIO so this helped a ton!
I am building a pc after 8 years and was scratching my head with the right air setup! You have done my work for me thank you!
What an incredibly helpful video, you've just saved us all so much time experimenting with the fan configuration.
hands down the best video on this topic. You earned a sub.
Thanks for taking your time to go through all the cooling configurations! Much appreciated! Overall, one of the best videos in my CZcams history,
That's very kind of you, thanks for your support.
@@ChristopherFlannigan I like how you pronounce *cooler* as "killer". Combine that with that murderous death stare you give the camera and it makes me start to wonder about you. :P
Planning to build in the original o11 and there are soooo many configs to test and you covered them all! Good job sir you just earned yourself a like and subcribe!!
As I wait for my case to arrive I questioned what was the best way to set up the fans and you have answer that with a valid method.
Thank you!
Exactly the type of video I have been looking for before starting my build next week. Thank you for being so thorough.
I just bought this case and was heavily debating what configuration to use for my fans. This video was incredibly helpful, thank you for the thorough analysis!!
The level of work, attention to detail, knowledge, video editing.... 👏 👏 👏
I just went through a build and this was very helpful. I now appreciate how much time went into making this video.
A year later and this video still kicks butt. It's gonna be timeless.
Awesome video. Very informative. Also to add a note, now the Lian Li also offers REVERSED fans for those bottom intakes, so in that way you dont see them inverted and with those stripes in the way! Awesome.
Always love seeing your content. Very thorough coverage. Cant wait to order a case
I can’t wait to receive my setup. Your reviews are perfect!
Dude this video answered all of my questions perfectly. thank you for testing all these out.
was confused why this video had so few views then realized it was just released a month ago. I hope this continues to gain traction over time, it's a very well-made and informative resource
Thank you and kudos for your reviews and cooling configuration tests.
This channel is a real blessing - factual information, clear facts and no annoying babbling and click bait like in so many other tech CZcams videos.
As a Lian Li fan, I was really looking forward to the Evo and here I get all the information I need.
So I don't need to watch any other CZcams videos about this case.
Respect for the way you work, this is what some CZcamsrs could follow.
That's what I call "testing"....You saved me a lot of time doing the same thing as you. Thanks a lot :)
You've guided me through 2 builds now, you rock man
Thank you for producing this very thorough review on the case config!
Thanks you for taking the time to make this video! Help alot to get the best fan setup on day one 🙌🏼
I just recently purchased this case and this video answered all of the questions I had! Subscribed!
Thank you. That had to take forever to compile. The data is very beneficial. Appreciate how thorough your vids are.
What a great work ! You answered ALL my questions, thank you for this Chris !
This was absolutely extensive testing! Thanks for all the hard work.
The only question that I lacked here was how to set up two AIOs (GPU+GPU) in the case. This would have been the cherry on top. :)
Anyhow, excellent work, mate!
Bit late, but what I did was side mount my CPU AIO which is a 360, with the Lian-Li Infinity fans as intake, then with the mesh kit, front mounted my GPU AIO which is a 240 as intake....There is room to do this, as long as both radiators are the standard Asetek 30mm thickness....This way, both the CPU and GPU are getting cool, fresh air.
Thank you for doing this! Helped decide which fan configuration and layout for GPU
So informative! I decided to get the grey micro center exclusive version of this case with the slightly darker tinted glass and I'm excited to see how it looks and grateful that now I know exactly how to keep my new 7800x3d as cool as possible!
Thank you for the thorough and in depth comparison of these different layouts.
DUDE!!! Thank you so much for all the work on this setup and running through all the configurations, this was extremely helpful!
Thank you for investing so much time to make this video! It saved me a lot of trial and error to find out. 🎉
damn, this is exactly what i was looking for - very specific answers to a very specific question. thank you christopher!
Thanks Christopher. Just bought this case and will definitely use your findings.
Found your video on this subject to be very useful. I was going to go with a vertical gpu but after watching this video, i've decided to stick with the traditional mount for the gpu and just get 3 additional fans instead.
This video is amazing!! It answered every single question I had!! Thank you so much, as my first build I was hesitant on where I should put the fans and how many
An incredible comprehensive video there Christopher! I know what configuration I am going with now :)
As usual, thank you so much for all your hard work. Sharing the heck out of this vid!
This is a quality video. Great work. I LOVE my 011 dynamic & Lian Li keeps making amazing cases.
Christopher, thank you! Great help for me and others who dealing with fan plascement questions during pc bult.
THE go to fan placement video for this case.
After searching millions of review,this is the one I'm looking for. subs!
Could anyone tell me if I were to use a Noctua NH-D15S, and I want to mount the GPU with the vertical bracket under the cooler, will that cause any clearance issues?
Thanks for the thorough tests and the clear and concise results. Keep it up
just got an O11D evo as well, and was pondering really hard about if a side AiO set to exhaust with front intake fans would work or woul it just make it worse. this video answered all my questions. thanks a lot!
Thank you Christopher. Your videos about detail fan configurations are really helpful, are very awesome and detailed to look at. Lot's of good info on each video's.
Wow! That was an exhaustive (pun intended!) series of tests! Well done!
Perfect work. Very very useful review. All cases should be reviewed like this. Thanks.
Thank you for all the hard work testing so many configs. 🙂
This video is the best I have seen so far, you covered every scenario, and it was beneficial. Thank You
The detail and information here is amazing. Thank you.
This is totally sick! Thanks for taking the time to test ALL THESE configurations!
Brilliant video mate, thanks for taking the time to put this together.
This is exactly the video i needed to watch before my build. thanks!
This is the best explanation for this case I’ve ever seen thanks
Wow. What attention to detail and a lot of work to boot to make this. Cheers.
Such a great video with great info! Thank you so much!
this guy is so thorough. I now know exactly what to buy and set thanks!
Thank you for the comprehensive and thorough testing
Thank you!
You are so thorough on every video! Practical and to the point.
Perfect Video. Literally everything anyone would need to know answered thoroughly. Thanks a lot
Thank you do doing this, it helped me positioned my fans and radiator - keep up the good work.
Oh, wait! FOR REAL?! My NH-D15 will fit in the EVO?
Then I'll be getting this for sure!
Thanks, Chris!
Wow this video had to have required a substantial amount of time and work. 👍 I have been contemplating these questions for nearly a month waiting for my evo to arrive. And got the email from Newegg and I get 2 more weeks to think about it.
Thanks.. Watched a few and this one helped me out the best with which way to face my fans and where. Thanks for doing all the testing.
Great job!! And by the way, based on logic, I had set my fans and aio exactly as you suggested in the optimum configuration in the same case!!
Omg thank you! Please never stop doing this!
Used this and dropped my temps by over 10 degrees. Thanks!
Wow, a lot of work went into this vid, thanks!
very informative video thanks a lot Chris you just saved me almost 100 dollars in add ons for this case I was looking to figure out what the best configuration for cooling was and after i watched your video in the description like you mentioned you tested all the configurations thanks again! fantastic video
Absolutely excellent. Thank you for this detailed test!
Love the honesty i only came across your channel last night and subbed today, great reviews from what i've seen so far. Thanks buddy
Yay!! I can add 3 to 4 fans on my side of Enthoo Pro 2... looks more lovely and much cooler inside the casing. Thank you for the great info.😊
really appreciate the in depth work gonna help a lot with my pc build
Great video, no doubt you will be getting some hits on this vid when people start getting their cases for ideas. Good stuff!
Thanks a lot bro. You are perfect! You’ve answered all my questions just before I ask them.
I'm curious now if my EK elite 360 AIO is going to fit in my Lian li dynamic Evo with six fans ? Have you gotten a chance to put the elite AIO from EK into this build yet?
Great work Mr. Flannigan!
Watched a bunch of your videos when making my pc which helped a lot. Cheers!
Glad I could help!
As someone who obsesses over these things and used to test myself, this is really useful. I will follow the advice for best setup but I am not keen on the vertical GPU aesthetically, so I may have it 'normal'. Shame that setup wasn't tested but I appreciate there is only so much time!
Just a hunch, but I bet you'd get slightly better GPU temps with the bottom fans blowing directly on the GPU. So best configuration for lowest temps overall would be: Side AIO intake, bottom intake, top exhaust, rear exhaust, horizontal GPU, and no front mesh panel.
I love your no nonsense presentation. Some try too hard to be funny and soooo cool. Good job lad.
Thank you so much for confirming what i had planned out months ago as the best way to set them up. I currently have a very custom space build and on the bottom is a dark side of the moon 3d print painted landscape, front has a wall of phanteks t30 fans(intake), side has a push pull with 360rad with noctua a12x25sx6 (intake), top has x3 thermaltake toughfans (exhaust) and back has an externally mounted thermatake toughfan turbo (exhaust) along with a 5800x/custom wrapped 3080 strix vertically mounted. Your write up proves i have have best setup for what i have.
appreciate the time you put into this.
-Chris
Thank you, really.
This was absolutely what I needed.
Thank you so much for this video, you provided the exact info I was looking for.
I really appreciate your videos on the lian li evo. it was very helpful to me as i did my build in the reverse configuration. I've ordered the vertical bracket so i can mount my EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 FTW3 ULTRA GAMING so it can be shown off properly. All my RGB is setup static to Kelly Green why you might ask my eyes are green and its my favorite color.
What a great study! Thanks for this video!!!
Omg, ive looked through so many videos for this to see if i could have my aio on the side tysm for this video im planning on getting this case soon
Just the video I was looking for. Got my sub!
Very useful video, I'm about to do a 12 fan install into a Steampunk SP8 ( cheaper version of this case) and have never used bottom case fans before.
🙂 neat, thank you for testing the different configurations
thx dude! I am currently building for my son in the O11 evo. Going full on 'fanboy' (dj) with the LianLi fan configuration. TY for the help :)
Not all heroes wear capes. This totally helped my build. I can’t say thank you enough.
