Maybe if I was going to water cool, but I have the normal 011 dynamic Evo with a 4090 in it and everything else I need and it is never felt too small.
Plus I'm using 140 mm fans which officially do not fit.
I had the suprim 4090 mounted horizontally. No issues there. I don't think it would work up right though although I think some be on Reddit has done it.
Flexibility is definitely a plus and is why I chose that case. I don't change components enough to need to worry about some of the other stuff you mentioned however.
Yeah I get what you mean. I don't think the footprint of the case is that much bigger either but it does give you the extra flexibility. I'd probably have got it were it out when I built my PC.
Yeah would be nice to get the pre-orders in.When is OCUK likely to start Pre Orders on this? Chomping at the bit to order as I’m delaying my upgrade until it’s available.
Don't think they are allowed before Lian Li gives the go ahead. Also they would be guessing the price point which would naturally be a lot higher.
Lian Li have been quiet for a long time. It would be nice to have an update. Similar cases have been announced and come to market since Lian Li announced it last year.
Argh! Hope it's available this Summer.
I really don't like they have locked the PSU to the middle, since the December preview.
I was considering the XL myself until realised that I would have to replace my NH-15D Chromax HSF It would be the perfect case for me if it had a little more clearance for larger HSF coolers.
Only case I liked that would house it fine was the Lancool II Mesh Performance, so hopefully made the right choice as couldn't justify changing the HSF that I am 100% happy with as well.
Think he's made up his mind that it won't fit... I've told him it that I have an O11 Air Mini and that tt fits a NH-D15. Best leave him to it.You are looking at old o11 xl. O11 EVO xl will have no problems fitting noctua. Cooler fitting will probably be 175mm+ given it fits 140 radiators without any layout changes.
A mod on the Lian Li Reddit posted multiple times yesterday that it's been delayed to early September. Apparently it's not the first time it's been delayed. Think I'll grab one of the other similar designs like the Phanteks or NZXT options since I want to have my build done in 2 weeks or so.
Fingers cross there's actually availbility then!
With them saying it's due at the end of the week, and to check with suppliers for availability, you'd think suppliers would have the case available to preorder by now, but I can't find it anywhere yet.
