Looking to replace my case and do some upgrades.

[DEL 707]

I want to replace my PC case, because I'm looking at a bigger AIO cooler.

The case I'm looking at is the Lian LI Lancool III

A quick glance shows that the case will be able to take a 420mm radiator, but I want to double check before I go ordering anything.

I could upgrade the AIO to the XT version, I've heard it has better fans, but I'm not sure it's worth the extra price.

While I'm also moving stuff around, I was thinking of upgrading my RAM, using this.

I believe my system can take it. This is what I have currently.

A quick glance shows that the case will be able to take a 420mm radiator, but I want to double check before I go ordering anything.

The issues I'm aware of:

• The overall thickness of the rad+fans (height, in relation to the top of the case and the motherboard).
• The allowance for the measurements of the rad (length/width).
• Clearance of motherboard components (e.g. VRM 'sinks).
• Ram height.

Lian Li's website only gives one requirement, that I can see, which is 75mm max thickness.

Just the £90 would be an expensive kit, £190 seems way overpriced for 32GB of DDR4.

I found a youtube vid of a guy installing the AIO in the case.

Do you believe my motherboard will be the issue?

if you already have a half-decent cooler, i don't see the point of this unless you really have the money to burn
