Lian Li O11 Dynamic glass side panel spacer mod

[takedadshiro]

Ever since I upgraded my GPU to an ASUS TUF RTX 3080 the power cables that are connected to the GPU are pushing against the glass side panel pushing the GPU in the motherboard and slightly bending the motherboard in the process.

 

I asked around and people said it's fine but it is still bothering me

 

I found this 3D printed side panel spacer https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5173568 and tried it out.

 

Before the mod total width of the O11 Dynamic is around 270mm(265.5mm on their website) with an air cooler clearance of 155mm

 

After the mod the total width of the O11 Dynamic is now 286mm with a theoretical air cooler clearance of 171mm!(Noctua NH-D15 is 165mm)

 

And the power cables does not touch the glass side panel anymore

 

Plus you can print it to any color that you like.  Don't mind those rubber blocks at the bottom, I added those for extra airflow for the bottom intake

Just sharing this to anyone who owns a O11 Dynamic and is also bothered with the power cables pushing against the GPU.

For the record; an alternate solution is using a low profile extender for the cable. I had to do exactly that for my GF's most recent SFF case because of the exact same issue:

Thanks a lot for sharing this. Is it easy to remove the base stand, And did you need any extra screw for this? I'll print this soon
