So I finally selected the Lian Li GA-360B Galahad AIO 360 RGB cooler (this one) for my i9-13900K. Is this a good choice and is it a reliable AIO? It will be my fist AIO and my first RGB stuff so want to double check before I pull the trigger Thanks!

so basically I built my pc yesterday and unfortunately the third fan's rgb on my AIO, ARCTIC LIQUID FREEZER ii 360 ARB, doesn't work plus it has an open end 3 pin connector. When the fans were interchanged where the same fan was placed into second and the second to third, it occurred again, the new third positioned fan didn't light up the rgb while the older one did. Which means, any fan placed in the third position will not light up the RGB, yet the fans run. In addition, does LIAN LI offer new thumb screws for its case? I lost the screw which removes the top panel on the LANCOOL 3. It is just one thumb screw, I tried all the rest of the screws that came with the box but none of them worked. What should I do in these two situations?

I have the "itch" to build something new. But I do not like any of the case out there now, at least the ones I can find. They are all to flashy. I miss the good ole days were a case looked like a workstation and it was clean and professional. like lian-li older cases and fractal design. I still want a tg side panel but as long as its clean. The only thing I can find is fractal design define 7 but the tg version is out of stock or on back order everywhere I look. These are the type of builds I appreciate! I hope I am not the only one who misses these types of builds. Please help!!! *not my builds*

I am planning on my next build to be a SFF Gaming pc with a Ryzen 5 5600x and a RX 6700xt, unfortunately according to case i want to use, the Lian Li A4-H2O, only fits an 322mm long gpu. BUT, the variant of the rx 6700xt i have chosen for its performance and cooling does not fit. I was wondering if any people out there that own or have worked with this case know if the 322mm limit is super strict, or if it has even the smallest of space to fit one more millimeter.

In length and width, the EVGA 3060 fits into the Lian Li Liancool 215 case. However, when trying to install it into the PClE slots the side piece (which contains the HDMI connector) obstructs the GPU from sliding in. Is there a workaround or other option?

so i was putting my z77 sabertooth mb in the lian li 011 evo case and well its impossible to attach the power, rest button and led to it... this is bad lian li.! only way of doing it is pulling the pins out of the 9 pin and getting 2 pin dupont connectors... wtf...

Deciding on the cooler is hard, what's even harder when there's not much content online on what your looking for. I am looking to get a AIO CPU cooler and I have been recommended the Corsair H150i iCUE elite capilex. I can't find any good comparisons on how this cooler performs against the EK 360 Elite D-RGB or the Arctic freezer II 360. I have heard ML fans on the Corsair are loud. Basically I'm looking to cool a i7 - 12700K under normal workloads (gaming and ANSYS )

Greetings! My NZXT H440 Razer Edition case had some fans break some time ago, and I noticed that my components were heating up a lot because of it. I should have replaced the fans, but laziness and procrastination get the best of me. Or perhaps it is my addiction to play games. Who knows?! Either way! In order to fix the issue of the broken fans, I just opened the case and left it like that while I thought about what to do next. I could buy some new fans and call it a day, but honestly the cooling in that case sucks, and I want to take better care of my components. Current build CPU: Intel i7-8700K GPU: MSI RTX 2080TI Gaming Trio or something CPU FAN: Noctua nh-d15 RAM: G Skill 2x8gb F4-3600C15-8GTZ Monitors: 1 Asus PG348Q (3440x1440) with a random BenQ 1080p common monitor on the side. With my current build, I'm quite happy. The PC is powerful enough for me to play the games I currently play. I used to play more demanding games, but nowadays it's just Final Fantasy XIV and some other games casually. However, I know I will want to update my computer to a full new build of main components (Motherboard, CPU, and GPU) when the 4XXX series of Nvidia cards release, and their price is not astronomical. With that in mind, I can either wait with what I have, and then buy everything, or I can start now by purchasing a case, all of its fans, and transfer my current build to that new chassis so that it stays nice and cool, but keeping in mind that in the future I will replace all of the internals for new ones. MY IDEA My aim is to have something like this: Example 1 , Example 2 (These are just examples, and I don't want it to be EXACTLY that, but something that looks similar, clean and, pretty to look at.) My main concerns are the following: The new case, albeit giant, may not fit the Noctua CPU cooler, since I have one of the fans lifted because the RAM sticks are too bulky. You can see the fan lifted in the H440 case here, it fits PERFECTLY in that case, but there's 1 or 2 mm clearance with the cover on. I am not sure if this noctua cooler would fit. In case it does not, what should I do? Buy an AIO? In that case, which one? Fans. I am not really versed in 2022 PC builds or anything, last time I looked at it was almost 8 years ago, so I am really outdated and uninformed about all of the current ways of building sick computers like the ones in the pictures above. All I know, is that I want something like those pictures, and for that I think I need these new ARGB fans. Someone recommended that I got Lian Li's own UNI Fan AL, although they are expensive they would look nice. But then again, I don't know any better, that's why I come here in search of help and counsel. Case Air Flow. I don't know which directions all of the fans should be spinning to, what is the best configuration for air flow and cooling? Upgradability. It doesn't have to look 10/10 from the moment I put my current components in, for example, my current PSU cables probably are ugly, since the PSU is quite old. But I wouldn't care too much about now. All I want is to find a new home for my components, a home where they can be kept cold and functional, whilst also looking awesome behind that huge tempered glass under the light of way too many fans. Price is not a problem (I think, don't go too crazy or unnecessary). Thank you kindly for reading all of this, if you made it this far, and I look forward to your input! Kind regards, Layan.

Hey guys, I am really new to PC building so forgive me for being a noob and not knowing what to do. Does anyone know how to sync SL Fans & the Galahad 360 AIO (with AL fans) on an ASUS Z690 Maximus Hero motherboard? I want to be able to set the fans to automatically turn on when gaming and doing high temp tasks via the motherboard or Armoury Crate. The AL fans are at the top connected to the CPU fan header as exhaust fans. The SL fans (bottom and side) are connected to chassis fan headers 2 and 3 via the Lian Li controller as intake fans. I’ve tried setting all fans to PWM in the Bios and L-connect 2 then syncing with motherboard on L-Connect 2 but this makes all the fans run all maximum RPM. On a side note, does anyone know what mode the AIO Pump and W_Pump+ should be on (DC or PWM)?

Budget ($2500 USD approx 2L INR) Country: India Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Programming, Designing, Gaming + RGB Setup Other details: (preferred white setup) Requirements: 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700K GPU RTX 3000 series Z690 Chipset Motherboard (should support case front connectors... ASUS preferred) DDR5 M.2 NVMe SSD Gen 4 (1 for OS the other for gaming, size: 1tb) WiFi 6E PCIe 5.0 support Case: Lian Li PC-O11D-ROG Case fans: Lian Li AL fans (daisy fans) Radiator: 360mm Strimer Cables

This is my “first” build. I bough a ASUS motherboard that comes with a ROG Fan controller/hub, there’s also the Lian Li AL120 hub, along with universal fan hub in the Evolv X case. I am not sure which to use or to either connect in series. The goal is to use minimum software to control the fans along with my water pump. The case, fans, and mother board all have integrated D/ARGB. I would like to use the ASUS ARGB software. The mother board has ARGB installed on the waterblock. Using AL 120 also There will only be (3) fan, (1) pump and ARGB connections. (5) total ARGB connections with the case. The pump can connect directly to MoBo. I would like to use the case hub to connect to the MoBo. Thoughts on the best configuration to control both the fans and ARGB?

Hey guys! I'm currently working on a build in a lian li lancool 205 and everything seems to be in working order except the case fans. I've plugged the cables from the fan hub into their respective connections on the motherboard(ROG strix b550a) but the case fans are not spinning or lighting up. What should I do? I've tried plugging the fans in separately without the hub and they at least spin. Could it be a bad hub?

Hi! I have the Phanteks enthoo 719, in it I have two different systems. The one is my intel gaming pc and the other is an AMD based PLEX server. All the Case fans in my system are connected to a lian li fans hub. I want to be able to control the fans from the two systems, my gaming pc can be turned off while my server is always on, when that happens the server doesn't get enough airflow. How could I resolve this? I want the fans to react to the system that requires the most rpm.

Hey i recently bought the Lian Li o11 mini, but i just dont know which cpu cooler to pick, i found 2 but i dont know which one would be better, im kinda a guy that goes much for looks aswell First Option would be Be Quiet Pure Rock 2 And the Second would be Be Quiet Pure Rock LP I personally like the low profile more, and i could get a better Airflow in the o11 mini with it, but i dont know if it will cool my CPU (I5-11400f) enough (pure rock 2 has 150W TDP, LP has 100w TDP) I would really like some tips or hear your personal experiences or general thoughts, or answers to if the 100W TDP would be enough (im still kinda new to this whole stuff)

I know it's not really virus level but the picture is self explanatory! (In the end is when I closed down L-Connect)

Hi, I have a certain dilemma with my pc. All my fans and everything on the power/pwm side is working, but I have an issue on the RGB/ARGB side. I have 9 Lian li st-120W fans and a strimer v2 24 pins for motherboard power and strimer v2 2x8 pins for gpu power. My motherboard is a Rog strix B550-A Gaming. How do I wire everything to make every rgb parts work on the system? Thank you in advance

Hi i want to buy lian li lancool 216 an i wonder if i have good air flow for the specs i have on my pc rtx 3090 an ryzen 5800x and i have at the moment i have lian li dynamic o11 mini

Anyone have any cases that look similar to the Lian li o11 dynamic (preferably ones similar to the razer edtition)? I was originally going to buy an o11 back in november but now i go to buy one and its gone up way too much than im comfortable spending. Does anyone have any cases that look similar to the o11 for a reasonable price, Full ATX preferably but Mid is fine. I also need good case fans (included or separate) for a reasonable price. Or alternatively if you have any cases that look just nice in general that have tempered glass & good airflow then please send them here. Thanks

can the be quiet! Dark power 13 1000w 80+ titanium psu fit into the lian li O11 dynamic evo? i could not find an answer? pls help

So this is my first ever PC build I've ever been able to put together. Over the years I have owned various computers where i either installed a graphics card or I bought a laptop with gaming capability. I've been gaming since I was 10 or so my first real PC game I played was called G-NOME which was a Mechwarrior like game that came with my grandma's windows 95 PC. I've waited so many years to finally build my rig. I think i did alright for my First PC My build list is: PC: Lian Li Razer designed case Gigabyte X 570 Gaming X mobo Ryzen 7 3700X 8 core processor Power Color AMD Radeon Rx 5700 XT GPU 32 GB 3200 MHz Ram tiergrade 7 port USB 3.0 expansion card 6 thermaltake RGB Plus 12 Fans(razer chroma connect enabled of course) Peripherals: 1 LG 144hz HDR gaming monitor 2 25 inch ultra wide monitors(had these a number of years now) Razer Huntsman Elite Ultimate Razer Basilisk V2 wired Razer Naga Chroma Razer Orbweaver Chroma Razer Goliathus Chroma Razer Firefily Razer Wolverine Ultimate controller Razer Nari Elite Razer Base station Chroma

Hi guys, so i'm planning to build a gaming pc. The gaming pc's case is Lian Li 011D XL or 011D and with a motherboard Asus Tuf Gaming X570-plus (wifi). There are some ports at the front of the case and I'm just wondering if it fits or the motherboard can completely make use of the usb ports infront. As in are there enough usb ports in the motherboard for the Case to connect to? Wish to hear your response, thank you. Lian Li 011D: USB3.0 x2 , HD Audio USB3.1 Type-C x1 , HD Audio Lian Li 011D XL: 4 X USB 3.0 (2 on the front, 2 at the front case feet), 1 X USB 3.1 TYPE-C, 1 X HD AUDIO Motherboard: Idk how to read, sorry bought that. https://www.asus.com/sg/Motherboards/TUF-GAMING-X570-PLUS-WI-FI/specifications/ 1st question:) I'm wondering if my Asus tuf gaming x570-plus (wifi) motherboard has enough usb ports internal for the case to connect to? 2nd question:) Can someone teach me how do i read why are they writing USB Ports, Back I/O Ports and Internal I/O Ports? Thanks!

Hi guys, so i'm quite confused what is the difference between Lian Li O11D and Lian Li O11D XL. Other than the 2 extra usb 3.0 ports at the front for Lian li O11D XL, what more?

Budget (including currency): 1,500-2,000 Country: USA hey guys. I am building a new build, and I am having a hard time debating between fans or water cooling. I will be waiting till I get a 3080 and the new Ryzen 5000 series so who knows at this point when it will be complete, but for now I’m planning. I want to have RGB fans in the case if i do fans. They would be Corsair QL fans. However doing that the price is close to water cooling. The case is Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL Full Tower white. So 9 fans. I’ve never water cooled, and I’m purely doing both these to make the case look as beautiful as possible, I won’t be over clocking or anything. I’m not worried about getting the best temps etc. Realistically. The computer won’t be on all the time. How much maintenance is water cooling? Will I have to do anything to it monthly? Yearly? That’s my big concern. By keeping the pc off for long periods of time like a week or two does that affect anything if it’s water cooled? And If I were to water cool do you suggest just using a distro block that mounts on the side? I bought the case because I’ve always loved it, and I know it’s made to be water cooled. But I wanted it anyway. any other suggestions I am ok with! I don’t mind doing some maintenance to it, but these days when I build a pc I don’t mess with it too much after the build.

Hey everyone! Don't know how many of you need this, but I figured I'd post here in case someone out there runs into a similar situation as I did. I have the Corsair SF600 and a little over a year ago, the fan started to make a horrible grinding noise. I didn't want to take the fan apart to try to figure out the source because the fan noise was a little too much for me to begin with, even before the grinding sound. So as a temporary solution, because I didn't want to shell out money for a new SFX psu or replace the fan with a brown and ivory Noctua NF-A9x14, I removed the Corsair fan, popped a 92mm BeQuiet fan on top of the SF600, and connected it to the CPU fan header on my motherboard. In terms of noise and temps, this solution worked very well, but because the clearance between the tempered glass and the BeQuiet fan was so tight in the Lian Li PC-O5SX, I opted to do without the tempered glass until I found a more permanent solution... That permanent solution was the Noctua NF-A9x14 HS-PWM chromax.black.swap! Noctua sneakily released the chromax version of the NF-A9x14 back in November 2019 and I had no idea they were even a thing until I checked randomly late last Friday night. I was waiting forever for Noctua to release this exact fan so I immediately ordered it directly from Noctua's ebay page. They shipped from Austria to New York in just 3.5 business days, even with all the crazy shipping delays happening in New York because of the coronavirus, how awesome is that?! Anyways, I was finally able to ditch the BeQuiet fan and replaced it with the NF-A9x14 chromax fan and it fit inside the SF600 like a glove! I still plugged it into the CPU fan header though because I was not trying to splice and solder the SF600 fan connection to the Noctua fan...especially because I read on another forum that the Noctua fan may not spin up until the psu is under a heavier load, which I prefer not to happen...But now, after over a year of looking pretty janky, I was finally able to put the tempered glass side panel back on and my SF600 is cool and whisper quiet thanks to Noctua. Before and after pics below! TL;DR: You can replace your Corsair SF series power supply fan with the Noctua NF-A9x14 HS-PWM chromax.black.swap. You may want to do this even if the fan isn't broken for the aesthetic and wayyy quieter fan
