Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic - Demciflex Filters installed.. cat then sick on them !

orbitalwalsh · 21 Mar 2019 at 13:27

Was sorting out cables yesterday and having removed all filters and replacing only one with DemciFilter 360 at the top, dust was sitting everywhere from PC being idle or went in use ....

didnt want to spend £60 on 3 more 360 Rad filters that don't fit 100% then you've got the gap at the rear as well as 2nd PSU . I've seen most run Negative pressure - both top and side as exhaust for maximum bling and in theory, slightly lower temps - but would be a dust mine!

roll up DemciFilter and producing Dynamic AIR filters ...

https://www.demcifilter.com/lian-li-pc-011-air

Full air kit works out $54 or £40 plus $16/£12 postage .

Normal Dynamic owners don't need the extra filter for the front nor do anyone need 2x PSU rear filters as we all run one PSU with top slot blank..

3x top/side + 1x bottom + 1x rear PSU + 1x rear main chamber = $45.41/£35...

wondering if OCUK @ChugNorris can strike a deal with them for Air and Standard Dynamic versions ?

@MasterOC

Prob one of the best purchased you can do whilst having a drink or to !!!

240AIO will be fine ! Some people either beef the looks and cooling by doing Push and Pull, or still having 3 fans at the top with 2 on the AIO.

Temps will be better vertically but see how you get on. Large custom AIB should now be mounted vertically due to weight and size. Aorus had a support stand included but this is much better.

Temps are better due to cold air being blasted from bottom case for good airflow. The .In verticals position the airflow doesn't hit the GPU acting as a sail.. slip streams past and forces hot air up the top quicker. Also stops the issue of backplates being heat traps for GPUs !

Straight away you should notice temp drops at fault position. Even with just AIO fans installed !

how much is the verticle mount kit ... or link if you dont mind @orbitalwalsh

wont be a purchase anytime too soon , wife woke up this morning to find the account abit light , i wonder why that is hehe.

Ordered 3 fans ontop of that this morning too , god i just am looking to be murdered.

Looking forward to seeing this beauty in person. a big fan of dual chambered design's have had one for a while , following the air 540 ( cheap plastic though ) and HAF XB ( minimal config abilities ) and neither truelly gorgeous , this looking to be the best yet

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x CoolerMaster MasterCase Accessory Vertical GPU Holder + Riser Cable= £44.99
1 x Phanteks Vertical GPU Bracket & Flatline 220mm PCI-E x 16 Riser Cable Kit= £39.95

Total: £94.84 (includes shipping: £9.90)

cooler master is more solid! great for heavy 3 slot cards like my aorus BUT... you'll see the attachment of the GPU is closer to the mobo then the side of the case. so mine with a backplate as well as others have found out can touch/clash with tall ram

Filters have arrived !

Now here's the kicker.. Demciflex use FedEx to deliver , naturally ordering out side the EU you'll be charged VAT - in this case £7 but I had a bill of £20... £13 being to process the VAT... Please OCUK/ @ChugNorris get some Air/Dynamic filters imported for the masses .

Filter quality is high, as to be expected

Old verses new . Left pair is for Top/back panel and Right is for Underneath the case

Before (back)

After (please note I had a 360 rad filter so that's the smaller one on the left. As standard it's the larger one by default that is meant to go there, or another underneath filter would be in-between the two sizes)

Top before

Top after

PSU filter (Air pack comes with two.. pointless as once PSU is installed does really work..)

Rear Main chamber gap before

Now a lot of people run negative pressure in this case by having the size fans as exhaust to show the fancy side for RGB as well as having top for exhaust. This means air is pulled from every possible gap in the case !!!!

Meant to install on outside

But went inside and hides logo a bit

And I kid you not... After installing ... 20 mins later ... My cat is sick on the case !

(Bit of cleaning before pic)

Had this been standard filter, would have gone through rad installed at the top ! Full clean out would have been required . Rice under the tap and done !

You can contest the standard FedEx fee I think. I've successfully done it a couple of times.

Thanks for that, £13 for admin fee Vs the £7 for VAT... Jesus...

Safe to say though quality is excellent . After running water over the filter to cleaned, I tried it with the stock, really see how it breaks the flow of water yet the Demciflex it's llike it's not there !

Mine arrived from Demciflex 2 days ago and Fedex sent me a text message yesterday telling me i have to pay a UK Customs fee of £17! The original order was $34 ($22 for the filters and $12 for shipping).

Haha, and I'm sure I ordered before you, but Aberdeen based. Yep, same ! Had a text !!!
Hopefully OCUK staff having sold enough Razor, Dynamic and Air versions will realise they can make the £££ here and offer a quicker service

how you finding the airflow ?

Can feel a massive amount of difference with airflow , specially coming out the top ! think I might swap my side/mobo fans to Exhaust for better show

Go back to them again they should sort it.

I had an email from [email protected] that said this;

Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for your query regarding invoice <redacted>

Having reviewed the above mentioned invoice, we are pleased to advise that a Partial credit of 12.00GBP has been raised.
FedEx trust this concludes the matter, however should you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us.

sounds like you paid first, then raised it with them ?

looking good mate, seems money well spent

Sort out the outrageous charge from FedEx and should be good

orbitalwalsh · 4 Apr 2019 at 08:59

marco.da.man said:
that is very crafty, prob only cost them a few dollars too

yep!

but every time I see my cats Load on top of the case to feel some air fills me with joy.

I know I'm lucky to have 9 Silent Wing fans at 80% load , so pushes more are with high static pressure then most... couldn't feel air running through the top having to pass through a 45mm 16FPI rad in cladding and the stock air filter. But now.... and clearly put your hand a good 20cm above it and feel the airflow !

didn't realise this but sound is also lower, guessing less turbulence/ resistance to set fans to 90%

By the chance anyone else would be ordering demciflex filters for 011 dynamic? Probably worth to order a bulk. I want a top/bottom/two sides and rear one in white/white

I didnt even know you could get them in colour! haha

Again recommend one for the HDD/PSU cover - regardless of pressure

guessing it would be @ChugNorris would be best for bringing it into the UK , though I wonder if they'll be able to blag the fedex tax! haha

HKZonda said:
@orbitalwalsh May I ask did you get the PC-O11 Air Filter Kit from Demci? And they are perfect fit with the PC-O11 Dynamics?

Yep, but postage then vat and FedEx charge (if you can't get it off) adds up a cheap product .
And they fit fine , only thing the air has over the Dynamic is extra 3 fans at the front

orbitalwalsh · 12 Apr 2019 at 16:07

HKZonda said:
Thanks for the heads up!
I am shipping it outside EU first so there will be no VAT and Fedex chargers, some more I have spotted a pricing error and they have offered me a 10% off code. *LUCKY*

Nice!

@orbitalwalsh Question: Are the 3 bottom fans needed if you use the vertical mounting kit for the gpu?

loonyk said:
I have them, and GPU temps are few degrees lower

not needed but worth it, helps pump cool air to the GPU as well as remove the hot air quickly, since the card ins't on its belly and acting as a sail/air resistance

orbitalwalsh · 1 Jun 2019 at 16:48

RyanF said:
Excellent looking build, I'm guessing the vertical GPU mount blocks off access to the other PCIE ports on the mobo? I'd be tempted to try one if it wasn't for my need of a soundcard!

Yes, Lian Li have their own which should be able to mount GPU and another card vertically .

ubiquity said:
Am I right in thinking there is a Lian Li Vertical adapter, but also a Coolermaster or a Phantex one that would fit in the 011-D?

Yeah, if like me your using a non reference wider PCB card and tall ram then Go for Phanteks , if not Cooler master is the one I've got

orbitalwalsh · 9 Jun 2019 at 09:14

@BBThread

Cable seems to be fine, but Phanteks unit should be good , as well as having a further offset just incase. Trident are tall ram but not as tall as the Xtremes (44mm) !

AIO on the side would give clean air to the CPU, GPU shouldn't be effected too much by warm air as AIO is further away and then intake fans on the bottom .

orbitalwalsh · 10 Jun 2019 at 15:21

BBThread said:
@orbitalwalsh did you find you got much better intake from your fans with the demciflex filters on the O11 D?

I was watching the video about the Lian Li filters being a bit crap. I've already removed the top filter where I have the exhaust fans.

can feel the air exhausting a lot more with the demci filters on !!!!! thats for sure !

ubiquity said:
Am I right in thinking that for pressure optimised fans, the Lian-Li filters would have less of an impact than for standard case fans?

I have Bequiet Silent wings and stock filters are still naff . But have the option to run at 90% all the time and is silent compared to most systems

orbitalwalsh · 11 Jun 2019 at 17:45

ubiquity said:
Ah, thats pretty comprensive then, the Lian-Li filters and just terrible Is there a kit available for the 011-D or did you just by each filter panel seperately?

I went to their site direct. Have mentioned to OCUK to order a large batch.
Their is a kit of can buy the panels needed, as the kit is for the Air version and dual PSU filters .
Its Its extra charge FedEx use that is a rip off
