E-ATX motherboard in a Lian Li pc-o11 dynamic

Hi all, wasn't sure whether this was a motherboard or case question so put it in here instead.

I currently have a mATX board in PC-o11 dynamic and have seen a great deal on a EATX board which I'm keen on.

I currently have a 360 rad mounted in the tray and am concerned given the extra width that it won't fit. Or if it does, it won't then have clearance behind to get the cables through.

Google is light on images or info so thought I'd check with you clever lot and see if anyone is or has done this?

Pic below shows the rad and the current clearance. I believe E-ATX is just over 3 in wider...

It will most likely fit but the cables will be very tight. You might need to move your rad to the top of the case. That's what I had to do with mine...

E-ATX fits in mine, your case is it's bigger brother. You will be fine.

Thanks chaps. Managed to find the dimensions of the Asus crosshair Extreme vi in the end and the width was 26.9cm. Can't easily measure inside the case with the tubes and whatnot but also managed to find the dimensions for the ek waterblock on the graphics card which is 28.6cm, the block literally touches the fans on the rad, maybe a mill or 2.

Should give me a centimetre and a half to curl the cables back under so hoping it will be all good. There's already a 240 rad on the top so am hoping to avoid moving the 360 rad for the moment. Ordered it so fingers crossed

I have the same case as you but I recently downsized to an ATX mobo...
