Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic: 3 Radiators possible?

[cluelessgenius]

soo theoretically the case has space for 3 x 360 rads but in terms of routing tubing and fittings im not so sure

if i put a 80mm in the bottom and a 60mm in the top i dont see how im gonna connect another 45 in the back. might be possible might not my question is if anyone knows of someone who has done it? all the builds i see in this case have only used 2 rads max.

Anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

gee thanks. still looks awefully tight though. with flexible tubing and not caring about the look might be but im also not sure how i would incoorpate it into a nice looking clean loop. and again i just have not found a single build where 3 rads have been used

In all seriousness, I think it might be possible even with hardlining. Would the bottom rad actually be that thick with the fans?

A few days ago I watched a YouTube video I think it was IFR... There was a radiator, but it wasn't connected to the loop. Not much of a help but...

as seen in the 3d modell ? yes roughly i tried my best to stick to real dimensions and having it put in there already just for measure it looks like im not that far off

Wow! I didn't know they made rads that big, that's actually huge.

well i believe the alphacool monsta line-up is the only series that thick. some come close but they are the only ones i know that thick.

not a problem in my case though since im using m-itx anyway it fits rather perfectly.

What I can't seem to puzzle in my head, is how you integrate the third rad into the build. I assume that's what you're having trouble coming up with. Is there fitting splitters, or something that exists for this?

well that my firend is exactly where im at right now and what im asking myself and the forum. not sure what you mean by fitting splitters

you can do it but the rubber gromits for cable routing will be mostly covered unless you put the fans in the rear chamber. I would recommend a 45mm rad for the standing one, thats what the 360mm i have is and that seemed to be a decent fit there but i put it in the bottom instead. 80mm + fans in the bottomg is going to be right up against the GPU if it fitts

well thats not what im worried about. most likely im not gonna use them anyway.

yes. 45 in the back chamber and fans in the front chamber theres no other way possible unless you find a 25mm rad and then you could fits the fans in the back too but thats a different story and not what i want.

fits. and since im using m-itx and therefore the topmost pcie slot in the case as to the second one like most atx boards theres no clearence issues with the gpu or the board.

i have no problem with the bottom or top rad choices . just trying to figure out the back rad and how to connect it .

really i was just hoping someone on the forum knew of a build that has proven that 3 rads work in the case. but nobody seems to actually have done it.

i ment the other way around with the rad and fans but that works too, probably even better. 

 

as for how to hook it up, id go from the reservoir(cant see what else that thing the tubes go to besides the mobo could be) to the side rad and from the side rad to the top rad and then keep the rest. dont see why that wouldnt work

well i thought if i aybe hooked it up in parallel with the top rad using some T-splitters that might work but im still thrown off by the fact that nobody seems to have done 3 rads in this case even though everyone praises it for its capability of doing so

the only think you should care about is the width of the side rad. got to be max 122 mm, EK-PE rads do not fit (without some mods to the rad, HWlabs GTS will fit with minor modifications to front IO. alpha cool might fit as it is 124mm wide (probably with extending the mounting holes away from front IO by 1-1.5mm). 

there is enough space between the top rad and the side rad to fit the 90 degrees fittings with some 5-7mm extentions.
