Brilliant start to a video.
You sir, are brilliant.
HAHAHA DAT intro was fucking good. 😂
Great review. I really appreciate you also build in the cases you review and that you use a massive air cooler when doing so. Keep up the good work!
Leo's reviews never disappoint. Keep up the good work
Leo my man, you do fucking crack me up, KitGuru is an underated channel imo, awesome video as always
🤩
Fantastic thorough overview, just what I was looking for 👍
US person but man my favorite reviews are Kit, just enough details no nonsense and they work out what questions builders will have ahead of time, great stuff.
9:26 - I hope the case didn't fall off the table XD. Awesome video with an exquisite eye for detail. I'm sure you're an engineer :)
love it when leo reviews anything...
Hahah Leo! That intro was badass!
I used the Lancool II Mesh for my girlfriend's budget build and I really enjoyed building into it for the airflow it allowed and the ease of it. You did mention the price jump of the newer version in your comments. Inflation aside, the inclusion of the USB C cable and additional fans right out of the box alone justify the price difference. I look forward to using this case for a future build. It looks as it can pretty much take every piece of hardware I can thown into it.
Well done Lian Li and, as usual, exceptional review Leo! I quite enjoy them. Keep them up!
By far the best review I have seen. Kudos!
Good Reviews I watched a few of yours tonight. Liked and Subbed. Thank You.
Stay cool Leo and company! We were in Brighton and Worthing over the weekend and missed the hottest part of the heat by a day. Then we moved on to Dublin where it was not just hot but humid. Thankfully it cooled off quick there though.
If it doesn't come with 2 sets of 90 ft of 6 gage wiring, 60 amp breakers, industrial outlets, and a 1500w next gen PSU with a built in sinewave UPS, as well as a window duct and built in AC unit to isolate the heat from the room it's in, it's not ready for the 4090.
hehehe, I have a 4090 TUF OC in a Lancool III, it's not THAT extreme ;) Also, a 3090 Ti actually draws more power ...usually. Definitely less watts "per frame", and _usually_ less watts a max load (though not always).
I have mine slightly undervolted, and backed slightly off the Asus OC numbers (mostly to keep power draw reasonable). Also have an undervolt applied to the cpu (7900X), cuz they are significantly over-juiced, and you actually get _better_ benchmarks with undervolt, unless you lost the silicon lottery badly.
It does put out some heat under load though, yeah. Better to have a 'warm' room than a 'hot' case though. Not sure how it will be in summer yet... I could always underclock for a couple months if necessary though.
Based on the draw I see, my system should work fine with an 850 watt PSU in full load, but I did go with 1000watt for stability & longevity (and a couple percent better efficiency). Went corsair, the better one with the japanese caps. PSU's with chinese caps fill store shelves with "refurbs", and every refurb on the shelf is someone's potential PC horror story. Never buy a critical component which has many refurb's for sale ;) Skimping on the PSU and running it at/near max isn't a good idea in the long run.
Lancool 3 does fit a 4090 with plenty of room to spare. It's a BIG mid-tower. Actually I have it sitting next to a 750D full tower (ye old win7 system), and they are exactly the same width, maybe an inch shorter and an inch less depth for the lancool. It's almost a small full-tower, almost.
I wasn't going to spend as big as a 4090 really, but at the time I could not find an XTX (figured i'd raster 4k, and upscale ray tracing with FSR). 4090 was just sitting there, all lonely... at retail price... and I really do like Asus's TUF series cards... and realistically, 4090 is probably good for an additional generation of future proofing. And it was only about 700 cup ramen lunches in price difference... hehe. I rarely splurge, but when I do, I try to do it in style.
@kathrynck that GPU is the 1080ti of the generation for sure. Sucker should last through 2 gpu launches before it even starts to lose relevance
I went with the MSI x3 Very satisfied with these things
Despite my meming comment, they're surprisingly efficient. I've been using my 850w Platinum Be Quiet Straight power 11 as a hold over while I wait for the PSU I want at a reasonable price. Will be breaking down and just getting one over-priced if I can't snag one by mid June
@@Justifiers I went straight from a 1080 Ti Strix OC to a 4090 TUF OC. hehe. And straignt from Win7 to an install of Win10 with it's telemetry & forced updating amputated.
1080 Ti Strix is _Still_ plenty for 1440p raster. It's comparable to a 3060 Ti. It couldn't do ray tracing, but really you wouldn't want to look at ray tracing until you're in 3080 territory at minimum. So it's legit competitive with 3060 Ti's.
From all the pre-release leaks I'm seeing, it'll be competitive with 4060 Ti's as well. No DLSS-3 on the 1080 ti, but for straight raster-1440, they look fairly even.
On the PSU, I had a 1000 HX on the old system (flawless in heavy abuse for 8 years, extremely efficient). Went with RM1000x on the new build (slightly cheaper, but still japanese caps).
I'd avoid Corsair's RM series though, the models without the lowercase "x" I mean. RM=bad, RMx=ok. The RM's have chinese caps, and the most numerous PSU's on the shelf at Microceter were refurbished RM (non-x) PSU's.
There are other good PSU's out there. Just sharing what I know of the corsair ones.
Also, give lots of 'padding' to your wattage. GPU's & CPU's have tiny spikes (by tiny i mean brief, not small) in power draw which can be dramatically higher than their rated draw. If you don't have lots of headroom, those spikes result in crashes. And in a way which is hard on the hardware. I'd try to get a PSU at least 30% above the "claimed" power draw of your components.
Even without power draw spikes, running a PSU at it's maximum burns it up much faster, and causes it to draw power from the wall less efficiently. A platinum rated PSU operating near it's max rating has an efficiency lower than a bronze rated PSU operating at about 60% of it's max.
It's a lot like speakers in a sound system. Run them at their max throughput, and they'll progressively lose volume and clarity. In a couple years they'll be junk. Fairly universal for electronics. I never even turn the fan in my car up to max, 3 (out of 4) is my hard limit hehe.
If you have a 7000 series or 13000 series cpu, I'd look at undervolting those as well. Both AMD & Intel went VERY aggressive on juicing their chips this generation. They run hotter than heII. Won't last long at factory settings. Some 7800X3D's are already burning up because there's no safety margin in factory spec power. High power (higher than a chip can actually use) means less silicon fails spec for sale. Allows the makers to push questionable silicon onto the shelf. Most of the CPU's & GPU's this gen run great on undervolt. Usually even 'better' on undervolt, due to less thermal throttling.
Always remember, the published factory power spec _could_ be the best, most accurate opinion of the engineers who build the hardware. But their bosses want to sell you new hardware in a couple years...
I'm keeping my 4790/1080ti/win7 machine intact, as a legacy computer for older software. It's still a beast in 1440p.
Although... I have found that MOST older software which ostensibly "doesn't work on Win10", actually _does_ work fine on Win10 if you manually block the software from talking to it's publisher before you install it. In a perfect world, that'd be grounds for a class action lawsuit. Imagine if letting a dealership maintain your car past a certain date would 'break' your car, and their solution was for you to buy a new car...
For example, if you have a $700 copy of Adobe CS5, and you install it on win7, validate it's full retail price legitimate key, then copy the 'happy' key-validation file, go to your win10 machine, block your W10 machine from speaking to any website with 'adobe' in the name. Install CS5, then slip the validated key-validation file into place... oh look at that, works fine on Win10. So long as it doesn't talk to adobe's website. And it actually had nothing to do with "can't afford to update the software indefinitely", ~surprised picachu face~
/end rant, sorry.
The 4090 is really bored with 1440p though. I think it briefly touched 75% usage ...once.
I still need a new monitor.
Not thrilled with the current large format 4k options though.
- PG42UQ looks amazing, but it's very pricey, and oled's _still_ get burn-in.
- Neo G7 is likely the best VA panel ever made, but it's smaller than i'd like, and WAY too curved.
Those are my two top pics of what's available now though. Kinda waiting on a larger, less curved Neo G7, or an extra-super burn-in resistant PG42UQ. Or anything similar. LG's WOLED panels (used in the pg42) do look to have the least burn-in among oled's... it's just still far from ideal.
@@kathrynck lol Jesus fuck
I agree with everything in that journal but damn 🤣
@@kathrynck
Here's what I'm planning to get for my PC:
1. Lian Li Lancool 3 RGB Black
2. Corsair RM1000x
(Doing more research about PSU's now because of your comment, probably going to swap to a different PSU)
3. ROG Strix Z790 ATX Mobo
4. G.Skill Trident Z5 64GB RAM
5. 20TB Seagate Ironwood HDD
6. 2x Inland 4TB SSD with Heatsink
7. I9-13900k
(May get the KS variant if they even get down to their listed MSRP, not paying 1k for a 600 CPU)
8. Artic Liquid II 360mm AIO Cooler
9. Kyronaut Thermal Paste
10. MSI Suprim X 4090
(Fan version, not the Liquid X)
Should end up as a pretty damned good build, I might need to get extra fans if it's too hot though.
I love the thoroughness! Subscribed.
Splendid, no nonsense review as usual, Leo. While I also think the case features and design is fantastic, it's rather too large to incorporate in my desk setup. Still given the flexibility of the case, it looks like an absolute joy to build in.
Great job, very thorough review one of a kind for this case thank you. I love this case and strongly debating grabbing it. 😊 After your review it's a no-brainer
Nice intro 🍻
thx Leo for showing us the rad fitment
Great review, I have pre ordered :)
Super Excellent review! I might consider this case in my next computer build! Great work!
In the scheme of case pricing, this isn't far out of line....
Great review! Thanks. Just the black for my son.
I am proud to inform you that you have gained a new subscriber, sir.
Great Video, Thank You!
Great review!
Great review as always Leo. After getting carried away and purchasing way too many upgrades recently for my not so old PC I am only a cooler and case away from a complete new system 😂 I might get a new 360mm AIO and build a new system in this case as it has some great features.
Your reviews seem so unbiased and detailed which is so hard to find these days. You are my best reviewer on YT. Thank you Leo
I appreciate that!
Perfect as always! ❤️
Spacious Case Good Job on the review.
I love Leo's reviews
Great work, Leo. I do enjoy your reviews. Did I see that it has 8 expansions slots rather than the normal 7? How useful is that for the workstation market? In that vein, how good is that case at cooling a GPU in the bottom slot? (Think of a Threadripper workstation with 2 or 3 GPUs.)
Thank you , I will buy this case in my nw build =)
I have this case since march. It drives me crazy. Buzzing as hell - either the slot blanks, the glass or disk trays vibrate. I forgot that the first Lancool PC-K60 I had also was buzzing like this. I like it's design but this totally takes away all the pleasure of using it.
A an owner of Lancoo II, which bought a "Mesh" kit for it, i can say this is the best chassis I ever used. My previous one was Fractal Design Meshify C, and it was a significant upgrade.
Especially with the mesh kit, from which I have not installed the mesh side as it is ueseless without bottom fan/rad.
I would hesitate however from recommending the standard Lancool II without mesh front on 40C temperatures XD
that 6800 looks some small in that case :) Excellent review! entertaining as usual. I like this case but I think I going to build in the 5000d air flow, its similar to this but much more expensive.
Have the lan cool II this fixes most the major issues I had with the last case
A refreshing case for those hot temperatures. The lancool 2 mesh is a great. Love the useful upgrades. Keep up the great work you guys and stay safe.
The EK cross-flow radiator has been a long time coming (was announced absolutely ages ago). Would be interested in seeing their implementation - not that I need any... now, I use the Alphacool versions.
Love my Lan cool 2 mesh performance, no RGB, just a fan speed switch which makes more sense given the case is for performance.
GPU temps can be really improved by putting fans on the lower tray, (low profile p12s work wonders) they don't need to spin very fast so can be quiet but bring temps down nicely on GPU.
The case looks like a pretty good improvement in places over the 2 mesh, but not enough to upgrade for me though, but that just shows how good these cases were already.
Will agree though they are a big case, I've actually modded a 5.25 bracket for a dampened 3.5 HDD (don't like the vibrations through hot swap bays) and still have loads of space even with the nhd15 and 3080ti.
This video was very useful, i have an MSI 360 AIO with the pump in the radiator, the pump needs to be run horizontally and with tubes down and my preferred push-pull fan setup this looks about the only case short of a full tower that will allow that comfortably.
Would easily have this case in my top 5 by the look of it.
Love moduler cases like the fractal design define 7 xl. Hands down my fav case.
Do you drill holes in the front of the define or you just never turn it on?
@@mick0matic lol just leave the door open if the room has a hot ambient temperature.
It has highend components but I rarely use it to it's full potential. It's just a glorified plex server and big box emulation rig. Though I have full access to my steam library running at 4k when I feel like couch gaming.
nice review
Haha love that intro 👍👍
if I didn't love my O11 XL so much, I might just consider moving to this. The hinged glass would certainly make routine maintenance faster.
i love your reviews bossman God bless
An entertaining, in depth review with Leo, combined with a good case. What you want more? I Really like, that Leo goes on, and shows all the different aspects and possibilities of the case, and points out situations where you can run into a problem. That is unique, and that is why i really like the case reviews. Well done.
just the info I needed I have an EVGA Z690 Classified. so I bought the case
Leo over here starting vids like CraftComputing, I like it.
I like the reviews but are you going to test temps with an AIO ?
intro 👌👍
Very nice review Kitguru. Can you also please review CoolerMaster Cosmos C700M 30th Anniversary Edition please ?
My Lancool II Mesh is awesome but it has very little room above the motherboard for radiator mounting in the top
Will the arctic liquid cooling 2 aio 360 or 420 aio fit when mounted on the top because the radiator is really thick? Will it have clearance issues?
Leo, you are the king of drôle humor... CHEERS!
Im sold on this. It took a while to find "the one" but as a first time builder... This is THE one!
Look at the Phanteks G500a, too.
Does this case still support the vertical GPU mount from the lancool 2? Any update on this ?
Which would you pick between this and lancool 2 mesh?
As always, thanks Leo for showing the case with E-ATX and ATX boards installed as well as showing radiator support. Do you have the height of the actual PSU shroud? I feel like it might be possible, with a custom mount, to install 120mm fans or radiators vertically against the outside of the shroud similar to something like a 900D, SMA8, V3000.
I doubt that would work - you have about 118mm to work with from the floor of the case to the top of the fan rack however it is not clear space. Perhaps do-able with small 92mm fans.
Leo
@@KitGuruTech I see, thanks for the information. Is that measurement from the bottom of the case inside the PSU shroud frame to the top inside of the PSU shroud frame? All the other obstructions under the shroud such as the HDD mounting would be removed. Either way, it sounds like it just needs to have the shroud removed, slightly extended, and reinstalled to make it work. That's not a difficult mod at all. If it's 118mm, they really should have just increased the size by a couple mm and made it a feature.
@@KitGuruTech Hey just wanted to say a huge thanks - showing the E-ATX board was exactly what I wanted - no other review did that!
remember show different in temps please between noctua and the upcoming water build please
Lian Li does not put the holes for the PSU to be placed in either orientation. I have a LanCool II white mesh RGB which is all black inside. I painted the fan grills and the other removable pieces. Totally sweet.
Okay, It looks like I finally have something to beat my Phanteks P600S. Thanks Leo for the top quality presentation. I'll grab one of these for when I jump to Zen 4. 👍
Zen 4 is a hot hot hot cpu. Definitely do experiment with undervolting. I think they juiced them extremely high to increase yield. So there's an excellent chance that any particular cpu will love an undervolt (actually perform better, at less power draw, due to reduced thermal throttling). Will last longer too.
Mine dropped 8-10C at idle, with benchmark numbers actually improved, just by going PBO -20 and moving max temp from 95 to 85.
Intel is similar, both are overjuiced for yield with these new, more pricey die nodes. Most of the chips need considerably less power to meet manufacturer's specs.
@@kathrynck Aye, I'm looking to move on from a 3900X, which I power limited to 99% to force it to stay at 3.7 ghz and not permanently attempt to boost while idle. That alone saved me 12 degrees!
@@Duvoncho On my 7900X I actually get _higher_ clocks with undervolt. Cuz with the over-juicing (as per factory spec), it thermal-throttles the cpu. Even with my 420mm radiator & thermal-grizzly paste.
I was getting 50-52C (delta of about +26C over ambient) just sitting in bios. With PBO -20, I gett 42C (delta of +16C) sitting in bios. And it benchmarks _higher_ scores, with _higher_ clocks, with the undervolt.
It depends on the silicon though. "Some" of the chips need all that juice to keep up. (the ones which would have been flunked at a more normal power level, and for which the high-power spec was used, to increase wafer yield). But "most" of the am4 chips can work well at -10 to -30 in PBO. And even if you got one of the chips which actually needs so much power (unfortunate, but could happen), you'll still want to set the max temp to 85C I think. better to have a long lasting chip and good stability. Plus 95C really bakes the moisture out of thermal paste, you'd have to re-paste it frequently at 95.
it is an excellent case. but I have a problem, the front usb ports do not work for me, it says that the window does not recognize the device when I connect something.
Is it possible to remove that tray where hdd trays sit on?
Excellent review as allways!
Hmm case fans at 8-900 rpm max and CPU fans at 1200 rpm is what I would do. Case fans at higher rpm than this creates a whining sound, same thing happens in my Phanteks P500A case.
I just want the record to state, that I defo put a 420mm radiator in the front of my lancool 3 and it works perfectly
Not easy to choose between this one and the Fractal Design Torrent for an aircool build.
i think this case is better if u'll use it i9 13900k, because u can use 420mm aio cooler on the top of the case.
cool case
Still no one showing off Lian LI front side vertical graphics card hope you would as there new cases all seem to be compatible with it.
What is the beer in this video?
lol gr8 1st sentence :D
Black or white? What I should choose from my room?
благодарю, отличный разбор!
I don't know its just expensive for a case was thinking of going with the II Mesh RGB.
I like the Fractal Riddick cases....
Top case, the only thing I am missing is the fan hub. That is why I bought the Lancool II Mesh Performance, instead of the RGB model. Price seems reasonable considering current times.
One of the points I did not make in the review is that the case fans can be daisy chained together. I had the rear fan on one header, the two Noctuas on CPU and CPU Opt and the three front fans on another SYS headers. Noctua supplies a Y cable so I could easily have built the PC using three fan headers.
Leo
i like to watch this guy. hes good.
Good review, but why is there 4090 in the title? I came here specifically to see a 4090 mounted in that case.
I wish they made it taller to really accommodate vertically mounting a 4090 Asus Rog Strix and future proof the case for those that do not have a big desk.
Those screws look a bit like torx to me. The case definitely lends itself to water cooling - a bit big for just air cooling imo. And who uses that many hdd or ssd's these days? Thanks for the review.
The screws are some variant of crosshead rather than Torx. If I owned this case I would seriously consider swapping them out.
Glad you enjoyed the video,
Leo
Excellent! Thank you for the nice review and all of the information, I definitely appreciate it. Very soon I'll be building my first pc (mainly for music production, graphic design work, and possibly video editing) after many years of using laptops. But still deciding between Lancool 3 vs Fractal Torrent for the case option.
In my eyes, Lancool 3 all day long. If Fractal had offered a couple cm more at the back, it would be my top choice.
@@espi8997 @ESPI Very true, I noticed that too and seen some Torrent versions had a solid metal back available instead of glass. The base price for the non-rgb Torrent dropped about $30 also recently so it made it a bit more tempting(since those stock fans included are pretty expensive alone). If choosing the Lancool 3 the extra storage/modularity options are great. In addition would be considering adding 3 more fans above the PSU shroud.
Just got this case, I have 17 fans in it lol! I love it.
How well are the 3.5 Hdds cooled?
@@vlefteris direct fan placement always have good exhaust all leading one direction for maximum cooling.
@@GRIM_MOD Thank you
Have this case. It's excellent. And while not "cheap", it's not "expensive" either. It's at a very good price-point for what you get.
Don't attempt to use a 420mm rad in it though, unless you really know what you're doing. It can take a 420, but there are asterisks attached, and your build time will go way up.
But it does look sick with 420mm worth of fans up front, and a 420 rad & fans venting out the top.
Installing 2-3 120mm fans in bottom does help your gpu stay cooler as well, and improves gpu-fan life. They go on the shelf above the psu. It's worth adding to the build.
I'm in the US too, I did a lot of switching back and forth on what case I wanted .. I'm sold on this! Especially as a first time builder
@@thatstreaminbdoee.7985 Jayz2cents reviewed a really interesting $75 case just recently (like a week ago?). I forget the brand, but very impressive for $75. But it's really hard to regret getting a lancool III :)
my icue rad+fans, the lian li case fans, and the mobo & gpu all disagree with each other on how to handle rgb... but I skipped the rainbow and just set them all to what looks like the same hue, pulsating, but not changing color. Looks pretty legit :)
I think you could have more clearance for 3 radiators if you mounted fans and rad on opposite sides of the front bracket. I've done this with an AIO on the Lancool II and it works just fine. Since the front of the Lancool III is meant to support 3 140s, I would be surprised if having 120s on the "outside" of the front bracket would cause any interference with the front panel.
Thanks for the review! If am correct this case will not fit a mobo with : Height 305 mm (12.0 in) * Width 330 mm (13.0 in) ? Any good case that you can suggest? The board is a Asus Z10 PE D16 WS. I thought the adjustable bar would go far enough.
You are quite correct, maximum motherboard width is 280mm. You might want to look at the Phanteks Enthoo 719
Leo
@@KitGuruTech Hello, thank you for the reply. I did have a look at all the enthoo series and they are a little too big for my place, I guess i could wait for something to show up or look for similar sized ones. Thanks a lot though.
"It's a belter" a great accolade. Personally it has replaced the Lancool II Mesh as my Most wanted case.
This PC case would have been perfect if they put 3.2 USB Type A ports instead of 3.0 on it's I/O panel. It's 2023 already and they still put 3.0 on the front I/O panel. I went with the Be Quiet Shadow Base 800FX instead.
Thorough review.
I don't find the interior to be very pleasing to look at.
thats a cracking case ! quite surprised as most lian li stuff has been pretty feeble in recent years
I have the Lancool Mesh II and it is truly a fantastic case. This looks like it has some improvements over the II but not worth upgrading of course.
👍
Do you feel the Lancool mesh 2 is relevant in 2022 as well.. i am eyeing for my upcoming pc build with only aircooling with 12th gen or 13th gen intel
@@aprann9012 Personally I am very happy with my Lancool Mesh II performance. it really is a great case with very good airflow and easy to build in.
@@KitGuruTech do you think the lancool mesh ll would fit a 4090
With that intro.. liked the video immediately. I see LianLi copied the Phanteks P600S' removable side panels on hinges.
Love to see this old nerd/geek get his shine!!!!!
This case works excellent on air cooling, now you start adding radiators and it just restricts the flow of air through it.
Great stuff as always, Leo. I can't help but feel a bit uneasy about the magnets in such proximity to the HDD caddies.
'The case that destroys 100TB of storage' would be one heck of a title (Editor's note: meant as a joke and not to be taken seriously)
Leo
HDD have magnetics, strong ones too.
@@KitGuruTech 2 mil clicks garanteed.
They are small magnets. Don't worry 😂
@@KitGuruTechHow well are the 3.5 HDDs cooled? I worry they will run hot.
That top bracket look really stupid to me. It is quite avoiding the airflow. It should be like the front braket/frame
One thing that gets me confused is this. If there are 3 140 lian li fans in front, can I install 360 with pull push and leave 140 in front? I currently have lian li mash 12900k / 3090ti but my aio is only 240. I do get great thermals OC but I just got 360 aio.
Not really, no. The problem is that say you remove the 140mm fans and install the 360mm cooler and fans inside the frame you will struggle to reach the screws for the 140mm fans as they are effectively covered. It might be possible to leave the centre 140mm fan installed, then install the 360mm cooler and then install the top and bottom 140mm fans using just two screws on each fan but it's not a great solution.

the lancool3 price tho kinda puts me off tbh ide prefer to get the evo case at the same price point also kinda wish could put fans in the bottom section since there's mesh there
You still would need to add lots of money for fans for the Evo case.
Should come with a vacuum cleaner as standard to collect the tons of dust...
I was tempted by this case, but there's quite a few things that have now put me off. I don't like the bottom being lit up by rgb fans, showing a nasty mess of cables. Having one cut out on the right hand panel is poor. In a lot of set ups with rgb controllers, there's no way you'll get cables all around that area to a controller that is in place of one of the ssd mounts. 120mm fans on the front look silly, as there's too much empty space around the outside. £170 for the white RGB case? No way it's worthy of that price tag! Disappointing case for me, personally.
The obvious thought is that if you install fans on the PSU shroud go for non-RGB models. Regarding 120mm units at the front, the sensible move is to leave the stock fans in place.
What does radiators do? Sorry I’m still learning everything before I build a pc
