Lian Li 011 Dynamic Questions

[captain_cereal_hands]

So I bought the Lian Li 011 Dynamic and I have some questions. It's my first dual chamber case with the PSU and storage on the other side. When dealing with pressure for the case will the pressure be independent for each chamber or will it still all just act like one big box? I plan to put my H150i in the center panel. I have a big problem with dust so I really wanna go super positive on the pressure.

 

 

This seems extreme but I was thinking of going with dual 80mm out the back PSU side as intake (instead of the top PSU/HDD mount and I know I need to make my own mounting holes) and triple 120's on the side panel mesh opening near the back 80 mm ones as intake. Then do the rad in the middle side panel as intake into the Mobo side. Then do dual 800mm out the back Mobo side as exhaust. Then do triple 120's on the bottom as intake and triple 120's on top as exhaust. I know 4 80mm and 9 120's seems like a lot but I could set the RPM down to practically minimum with that many.

 

I have Noctua 80mm fans on the way for the back but for the 120's I would just buy more of what I already have which is Noctua NF-F12 industrialPPC-3000 I have 3 of them so cause I'm OCD I would use the same ones so 9 of those and 4 Noctua NF-A8 PWM

 

I figured the high static pressure of those fans would happen to work well for pulling more air through those mesh side panels. I'm moving these fans from the previous case.

 

Oh this is my full build

Any help or ideas on case fan layout would be much appreciated.

 

Edit: Also I know the 6800K isn't the best for OC'ing but once I get the new case setup I wanna OC it to like 4.2-4.5Ghz but I know the thermals on these CPU's isn't the best so that is why massive cooling too.

The case is not a "fully sealed / separated" dual chamber, so the pressure is still kind of like one big box.

The "structure" is dual chamber...but that's about it.

Mounting the H150i on the center panel is not a problem; top or center panel is to your liking.

 

I wouldn't try to mount 80 mm fans on the back PSU side.

BUT if you have them on order, doesn't hurt to experiment, and see if the noise-to-performance is worth it.

80mm on the mobo side is fine, but keep in mind, 80mm fans will have to spin FASTER, so are typically louder than 120 mm, and definitely louder than 140 mm fans.

 

Making your own PSU / SSD / HDD mounting holes might be more a pain in the @$$, and could be more effort than what it is worth.

 

How far have you tried pushing your i7-6800K?

I was only able to comfortablly do 4.2 GHz / 4.3 GHz on mine with an ASUS X99 Deluxe II mobo.

Already at ~1.32V Core Voltage for 4.0 GHz, with 125 MHz BCLK (was using DDR4-3000 MHz RAM, so needed to step BCLK up from 100 to 125).

So I care less about noise than I do performance. This case has mounts for 2 PSU's I would put the PSU in the bottom one and the dual 80mm fans in the top slot above it. As far as OC'ing CPU I've not really tried much I think I got 4.2 stable. Dust has become a problem so I wanna make sure pressure stays positive in the whole thing.
