Lian Li o11 mini aio mount + fans

[yoyo59]

Hi guys

got the o11 mini, im currently mounting my aio on the right side, with the tubes on top going slightly across and down to the cpu block, my question is, is this the best orientation and what about the fans?
I noticed a lot of people having the fans pulling air from outside the case to inside it, but I have mine blowing out, the fans look nicer than looking at the rear of them, any difference?

mine looks like this for example, orientation + fans blowing air out the case

Either is fine, I'd personally have it in the orientation you have it for aesthetic reasons.

thanks, thats good to hear, will keep it looking like that then, just wondered why so many people had it the other way when it looks naff

People want to make sure they either have balanced or positive pressure in the case.

The main downside of negative pressure (more exhaust than intake) can mean dust gets trapped in the case but in 2021 most cases have fully filtered intakes so it really isn’t an issue. You can of course clean your pc every now and then.

that GPU looks really beefy - might need to get a GPU support bracket to mitigate any sag.

i really like to have this case, but i want to mount AIO at the top and not sure if that will work with ATX board

I have a similar setup in my O11 Dynamic XL. 3 Exhaust on the top on a Galahad 360, 1 Exhaust at the back, 3 Intake at the bottom and the front right. I was also dissapointed with the look of the fans from the back but found a good solution. I found these metalic disks that look similar to the ones on the front of the fans but without the logo. they are magnetic but also have a peel of sticky back for permanent fixture. The only issue is the best ones are from Amaazon US. hope this helps.
