Lian Li O11 EVO & Upright ASUS NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 TUF Gaming

Sure i read somewhere on here about this info but apologies i cannot find it now.


So im planning to install my new 4080 gpu upright in the 011 and am unsure about the fan setup - does the cards fans blow down on the card and therefore it would be sensible to use the three case fans as exhausts?


Aio in the top as an exhaust? - pull or push preferred

and three fans in the base as intakes?

Thanks, any advice welcomed.

@Mark Ware Bit late but...

Personally I'm not a fan of the upright gpu so I wouldn't go that way but the GPU will have the air blowing from the 'glass side' to the mesh rear panel, some air will pass through but most will blow into case via venting from the sides of the gpu cooler.

As to case... bottom to top airflow to take advantage of natural flow from 'heat rising'. Rad at top, fans at bottom, you could also add a fan on the rear going out if you want.
