Cooling an extensive array of powerful gaming hardware with air alone is no easy task. Perhaps airflow is lacking, perhaps there’s too little space for fans. Teaming up with professional overclocker Roman “der8auer” Hartung, Lian Li has put together an extremely special case capable of solving both problems simultaneously. There is also so much space available in the Lian Li O11 Air for hardware, that you might just need all of those fourteen fan slots! Furthermore, the developers also paid a lot of attention to creating a truly stylish design – one that naturally includes a tempered glass side panel. In comparison to other versions in the O11 series, the Air offers a stylish mesh grid in the front to make absolutely sure that the case receives enough fresh air.
The Features of the Lian Li O11 Air Midi-Tower:
- Premium combination of tempered glass and steel
- Space for E-ATX-, ATX- or Micro-ATX motherboards
- Clever dual-chamber design
- 6x 2,5″-SSDs & 3x 3,5″-HDDs
- Front panel with 2x USB 3.0 Type-A & 1x USB 3.1 Type-C
- Graphics cards up to 42 cm long
- Four slots for 360 mm radiators
- Up to twelves 120 mm fans possible
- Space for two power supplies
Incredible Airflow in the Lian Li O11 Air
In total up to twelve 120 mm fans can be installed into the Lian Li O11 Air and the back of the case additionally offers two 80 mm fans. In addition to the usual slots for three 120 mm fans respectively on the top and in the front, Lian Li has also made space for three further 120 mm fans next to the motherboard tray. They help to ensure that the second chamber receives plenty of cooling, in which two power supplies can also be installed vertically. Those who would rather use water cooling are free to install up to four 360 mm radiators at once, although it is important to pay close attention to the dimensions of the radiators, especially if they are going to be installed next to one another near the front of the case. The Lian Li O11 Air represents the case of choice for modders, overclockers and water cooling enthusiasts.
In the Lian Li O11 Air, users are not just able to install all the high-end hardware they could ever want, they are also able to install said hardware safe in the knowledge that even if they require a second power supply, Lian Li have got their back. Thanks to the variety of cooling options, the hardware installed in this case will enjoy superb temperatures. Five dust filters also help to keep the graphics card, motherboard and other hardware clean and dust-free. In doing all this, however, Lian Li and Der8auer have also made sure not to neglect design. The tempered glass side panel allows users to admire their hardware from afar, and the RGB version of the O11 Air adds even more stylish lighting thanks to the three pre-installed RGB-LED fans. The mesh elements in the front and top of the case don’t only ensure the case receives optimal airflow, they also make the case look fantastic to boot.
