I am going to get a lian li pc-o11 dynamic case and would like to know if a 360mm 30mm thick radiator and 25mm fans in push pull will fit at the bottom of the case. Or could someone please tell me how much height there is at the bottom of the case for radiator and fans.
lian li pc-o11 dynamic rad?

Well the xl version might be to big for where I want to put it. So I will have to measure and see if it will fit.
The difference is negligible in push pull config, you're better off just doing push or pull.
Thanks that's good to know.

If your GPU is mounted horizontally on a standard ATX motherboard. (obviously motherboards are all very slightly different height top x16 slot but roughly....)
You roughly have 13.5cm from the PCB (top) of the gpu to the floor of the case. (I have just measured)
So for example if your GPU is a standard 2 slot 3cm. You would have 10.5cm from the bottom of the GPU to the case floor.
In your example 25+30+25= 80mm. It works easily.
You'd have to have a much thicker 3/4 slot card for it to hit.
(The above is on a Asus B550 Gaming F motherboard in a non-XL o11d)

Interesting as i am doing the same. Have an aio at the top for the cpu and was going to mount a cpu rad either at the bottom or preferable the side. Could you not Vertically mount the rad on one side of the mounting and the fans the other side?

I did message lian li to ask them how much room there was top and bottom for rad and fans and they said there is 65mm clearance for rad and fans. So I will probably go with 30mm rads and 25mm fans with bottom rad fans being pull and top rad fans being push.

I have just fitted a 55mm Corsair rad on the top, still clearance, so i would say 60mm top.
bottom i tried the 55 and it does fit

This. Much more flexibility. Also, for a thin rad, no point using push/pull, really. Been there, done that, never again.
The XL accommodates 3 360 XT45, not much of an issue running the tubing. Can be simpler if using a 30mm thick for the top, or XFlow.
Similar to mine.
Just loop order different. pump/reservoir bottom rad, GPU, top rad, Monoblock, side rad, pump/reservoir.
That video was really helpful. I would really like to vertically mount the GPU (once I can find a 3080 block I like) so top and side mounting the radiators plus the Phanteks mount would leave space for some fans at the bottom.
Now just to decide whether to stick with the trusty EK res/pump combo or go for a fancy front distro!
