The only channel which shows the complete dismantle of cases and the full possibilities! Keep it up!
Awesome review loads of info simple yet straight to the point excellent video, dont normally comment and give such praise but I was impressed with your video got yourself a new sub
So many people are hating on this case when they do not even look at what you actually get for the price
Yes the Lian Li PC O11 may look better for less BUT if you want the front tempered glass version you can't have front intake as there is no space for intake and that case also has no 120mm rear fan mount it only has like two small fan mounts for 80mm fans and a last thing is that the Corsair has tempered glass *DOORS* which that case doesn't have. Then there is the fact that you are getting the Lighting Node Pro and 3 Corsair LL120 RGB fans which themselves are worth over £60 altogether and those fans are premium corsair fans (they are the 2nd best performing fans from Corsair and have the best lighting for an RGB fan) and the Lighting Node Pro which controls lighting and so on has onboard storage and is a controller for LED's and RGB fans which costs around £40-£50 with four RGB strips (you can buy the RGB strips on their own for like £15-£20) considering the LL fans and the Lighting Node Pro are an RGB controller and premium RGB fans which no case as cheap as the Lian Li PC-O11 come with unless you get some cheap case with cheap fans that only connect to an RGB header on the motherboard.
IMO this case is totally worth it though I wish they sold a version without the LL fans and the Lighting Node Pro as I have SIX Corsair LL120 fans and a Lighting Node Pro as well as a Corsair Commander Pro (I got the Commander Pro first and was using it for RGB strips and a fan hub until I got the Corsair LL120 RGB triple fan pack which comes with a Lighting Node Pro). This is gonna be my next case as the airflow is the best for a dual chamber case that I have seen that has a front tempered glass panel and it has a DOOR which I prefer over having to reach over to the back and unscrewing the top to be able to slide out the side and front panels
Why would you want gamery looking fans?
Ok got it corsair fanboy, give them your money fanboy
Do you realize that the O11-D takes a steaming dump on this RGB gamer oven with one less fan and purely passive exhaust? Temps are like 10 Celsius less with just three side intakes (did you not realize front exhaust just got moved to the side?) and cable management isn't just a spaghetti box in the other chamber. Corsair made the O11, but shit. Look up any review for this turd that has measurements for the O11-D, like the Gamers Nexus one. It gets utterly slaughtered by the non-filtered O11-A, too, but then you get dust unless you spend a few bucks on Silverstone ot Demciflex filters. But, then, you can get an O11-A for around $100. This miscarriage has no place in the market unless you've got a boner for RGB and are too dumb to buy the Corsair kit for a better case.
All you guys don't even realise what I am trying to say I do prefer the looks and the fan/radiator support on the Lian Li PC O11 Dynamic but for front intake airflow that case sucks (Corsair Crystal 680x is better for airflow from the front) and IMO aesthetically the front intake looks better especially if you choose RGB fans and also I mentioned the fact that having a TG door is better than having to unscrew the top panel just to access the side panel which slides out
I am no corsair fanboy but I agree.
Great review, thank you Tiny Tom! Nice interesting case to see get reviewed.
In my opinion, they should offer up an option(or version) of the case with their White RGB LL20 Case Fans, in case you prefer them over the Black ones. Briony of KitGuruTech replaced the black ones that come with this case with the white version of them, and I agree with her, they look even better. Much like you thought static white for the RGB lighting looked the best.
Cheers!
I’m building in this case right now and I swapped all the fans out for 8 LL120’s. That brings the cost of this case up significantly (I still love the case). The other problem is because it is so big you can spend a lot of money filling it up with nice cables etc.. The review on this cases thermals are pretty much for geeks who literally use their PCs for benchmarking and wouldn’t know what to do with their pc’s if benchmarking software didn’t exist. My only complaint is that Corsair is extremely greedy.
Case is very wide, but just not deep/long enough for good full gpu/cpu water cooling....the Li Lian 011 Dynamic XL is what I bought and so much better for present and future full water cooling, has 4 accessible hot swapping hd/ssd drive cages and room for (3) 360mm radiators.
Most informative review I've seen for this case. Thank you for this.
Sorry Corsair but my Obsidian 750d is still the best case they ever made and will more than likely be the only case i will ever need. Thanks for the time and effort put in TTL and team to bring yet again another decent in depth review.
To me the point of this is if you want the LL fans and the look of the LL fans.. The case looks -really- good with the LL fans installed. Without them i dont think it would look as nice.. I am seriously considering this since once you start buying the 011 Dynamic with any RGB fans you quickly erode the price difference. I do really get the complaints however, and i dont think a non-RGB version of the case would be as economically viable for the company as some people wanna think (Even if you swap the tempered glass off for say, an aircool focused mesh for raw performance)
Two reviews in a row? Yes, please, thank you. Note to Corsair and other manufacturers: Please, no tinted glass on white cases. Let the white be white.
This is such an excellent review I appreciate all of the practical information.
i wonder if anyone has thought of taking the front glass off and replacing it with a modified acrylic panel to increase airflow
Actually corsair originally made a case like this about 10 years ago with mesh and stuff, and now has taken replaced the mesh with glass. The old case is called the carbide air 540 :)
Should have made that front panel held on by adjustable stand offs like the top.
Was thinking about doing my first hardline water cooled rig in this. Now I will not. Thanks for the in-depth review!!
It should be pretty easy with Corsairs newly announced Hydro X series all in one hardline cooling solution.
@@calvinspires1220 the problem with hardline water cooling in this case is that the radiators/fans has to move to clean the filter... kind of an issue with hardlining
Thanks Tom for once more an amazing and to the point review.
Now, Sorry Corsair, but your filter design and how to maintain it is poor for such an expensive case in 2019...
My only complaint about this video is that you are using red cable extensions on white
Otherwise great vid
A full cover gpu water block works great vertically mounted in this case
When you add the 2 bottom fans in blowing up the vertical mount GPU does not suffer.
Just clicked purchase 2 more days cant wait
What a shame they made the filters so awkward to get at just for a quick clean, i wish they'd make romm for them to slide in and out. Thanks for another good review.
Tom, had you had some wobbly juices before doing this?! Lol sounds like you done this 2am sunday morning!
Was about to go for the praised o11 dynamic but realised how much the bloody fans and fan controllers would be. Leaning on this now but have only one day to decide as it’s down to 150 from 220.
From design standpoint ..something is not right when i look at big empty side of frontpanel. So many ways how small venting holes could be placed there.
what needs to be vented on the second chamber? do your hdds need cooling?
I went with the non RGB 460x. Just enough space for all my components and fits neatly under the desk too. I just don't dig the glass top either...
If the watercooler rad is in the top isn't it cooling the CPU using warm air already or does it not matter? Surely in the front drawing in cool air would be better? I like the way you can easily remove the fans from the case like that makes dust cleaning easier.
So you can't go rigid tubing with this if you want to keep dust filters... what is wrong with Corsair in 2019? And the 678C is even worse...
I agree with the 678C being worse as IMO it is a good case BUT it is just too overpriced EVEN Corsair has better cases for less such as the Corsair Obsidian 500D (the one with the Aluminium front panel costs a whole lot less and looks better and is only missing the sound dampening foam stuff but at least the front intake is better)
but as for the dust filter thing the reason which Tom game I do kinda understand but it doesn't seem like they put much effort in to functionality and practicality such as how they could make the dust filters visually look better without forcing you to take apart the fan bracket they could have just had a small gap in between the fan bracket and the front which would have a border that would conceal the edges of the dust filter and allow you to remove the dust filter from the side without taking apart the fan bracket (if you understand what I mean basically like sandwiching the dust filter in between the fan bracket and case)
You can push/pull at the top if you remove the filter. Saw it set up like that at microcenter
But Sorry.....the top filter how much Is leght?
Thank you for the nice Review! First time somebody said you could fit 92mm Fans at the back where the Disk sit. Would it also be possible to mount 3 140mm fans in the front rather than the 3 120mm fans? And could you mount a 120mm or 140mm fan on the side of the PSU as well?
Really in deepth review, thanks!
Gotta say, WTF where Corsair thinking...absolute God awful looking case.
Thanks for showing it us though mate and reviewing it.
Still prefer my Carbide 540 Air. More versatile for watercooling loops and no stupid bloody glass panels over the fans.
@@BassLegendYT instantly bought it
Mine arrived yesterday. Early Xmas for me. Moving my gaming rig into the 540 tonight 😊
Looking at a few cases, i have a 900D but i'm looking to downside and get some better modern features into my case.
Been comparing this to the H710i and i really love the looks for the 680x, love the idea of the PSU's and drives at the back of the case, but the interior just doesn't look right.
You did an excellent job with your cable management, you actually made the bottom of the rear IO look really good, but you just have an open empty space that irks me (issue with the case nothing that you have done) the spacing at the top of the case and side of the case looks so constrictive too. I would be fitting a 360mm in the front of whatever case i get so that space would be nice to have and this just seems so restrictive, but am i been overzealous because i'm coming from a 900D? The H710i seems about the same size but has the great shroud and cable plate to keep things tidy, doesn't look as nice or have hinged doors however. I did see the Fractal Define S2, that case looks great too if only it had that arm in the middle, sadly it has just one less HDD bay than what i need at the moment (I need 4, i think this 680x also lacks it).
Shopping for the right PC case is dam hard.
Surely the tempered glass blocks airflow? Top one blocking output and the front one blocking input.
Thanks for this talk.
I have this same case from October 2021(it's almost March 2022 now).
Just the other week I noticed the amount of heat buildup on the backplate. With a thermal-camera you can clearly see that heat.
It showed during gaming by the amount of FPS that fluctuated very weirdly. Maybe thermal throttling / I did have it all on very quiet.
Sooo... How to extra cool that?
So, I was thinking about a vertical mount for more air alongside the back. The GPU processor is not the problem, it's the V-Ram that gets very hot. On the back. More youtubers have talked about this problem. The 3070, 3080, 3090 and the FE of them.
Now today I mounted that aftermarket vertical GPU holder.
Only, that vertical GPU is a problem. The RTX 3090 with that aftermarket vertical holder, does not fit in this case. :-(
So, this vertical mount will be sent back and the GPU will be mounted on the front vertical holder.
Yesterday I ordered a Perspex plate (38 by 47 cm) of 6 mm to exchange the door. In that door an opening for the GPU in the front will be made / same size as the GPU..
The back-fan and the lower fans are 120mm. Actually all the fans are 120, but the front fans cannot be replaced by 140, it does not fit. Although there are screw-holes for 140.
140 mm corsair fans are ordered for better airflow. One for the back and two for the bottom.
Hope it works and sorry if my talk is too long :-)
Your reviews are tops but no more Corsair products for me, and before someone asks then why are you watching it then, simple to support TTL & OC3D!
How to remove the front dust filter, cause if I remove the right corsair thing, I can't just take it out, and idk how to clean it now...
I have the lian li razer edition but now I’m looking at this one. Which one looks better ?
Awesome case , i just wish they would make those grommets in white it really adds too much extra black in the case! Great work Tom!! Cow}:-o)
I love the cable management and clean look of those split up cases, but damn, those glas panels are good for nothing, i had the 540 a few years ago, and i think its better in overall performance
have the Corsair 640 Cube case which is very similar, have 2 fans in the bottom and 3 at the front with a Corsair 280 rad at the top.....temps are great :-)
great video thank you for info
Shorts question where is the corsair RGB Fan Hub connected in the Mainboard ? :) and will it works with an Asus Mainboard ?
Sorry but "push and pull" fan radiator Is possibile in the top?
Great review man 👍
Not great fan filters if using hard line tubing .
"Sorry, I didn't go down far enough"
That's what he said! :D
Do you know if you could mount a NZXT kraken x72 cooler in the case. Bc it’s 360mm
im torn between getting the Crysta 680X or the Obsidian 750d
I think the dimensions look strange. It's too tall. As tall as a normal case. Doesn't make any sense. There's quite a lot of wasted space below the motherboard. The whole point with cube/dual chamber cases, is to have a more compact case. This is just overly and unnecessarily large. And it's a real shame, because i think the 280x is the perfect size for an mATX cube case.
i have the 280x and love it ! got 6 fans in there with a liquid aio mounted on top, the only thing i hate about this case is the side glass pannel that is a pain to get on and off
looks nice but i don't want to take it to bits to clean the filter
Will this fit a 323mm GPU (3070) with a 360mm rad and fans installed up front?
So a push pull radiator setup is not possible in this case?
Why would anybody buy this over the 011 dynamic
Yes corsair fans and people who don't know of the 011 dynamic.
Not every one looks at reviews for a case, system builders will use it, so will be used via channel as well.
Not everyone looks for reviews or comes to UA-cam to know about what is the best case out there for a price point.
The Lian li, which I admittedly haven't seen in person, looks uglier to me in pics and video. The 680x looks to be of extremely high quality, and made specifically for people who want to bolt in some shiny parts and get to gaming instead of tinkering with this and that. This isn't for the benchmarkers, or for people looking to brag about having stupid low temps, this is for people that want to flex the look of their PC while getting -sufficient enough- cooling to not have to stress. That's my take on it anyway.
because im stuck in the corsair eco system and am too stubborn to change
Was going to go for that but realised just how much the fans and fan controller go for alone. Also for the o11 dynamic quite a few of the fans would have to face away from where you are looking at the computer.
I wish corsair had an option to take the fans and hub out so it would be priced at around £125
rather have better air flow than dust worry, takes 2 mins to blow the durst out, just open the front pannel and off you go with a compressor
can you turn the lights completely off? or massively dimmed?
What is the width of the desk on the video ? Hopefully it’s 140cm like mine
I've ordered a configured build from scan with this case with a evga 3080ti ultra ftw (300mm long) & corsair 360mm h150i rgb pro (52mm thick)
Dont think thats gonna fit eek!
no push pull? wth! great review as always
Can the pc handle GTA Fortnite and Minecraft?
That’s how much I paid for my evolv x which I think is a better case overall and looks nicer but good review/video none the less
Thumbs up for the review(s), thumbs down for the case(s). That THicc black borders on the window is uglyyy. Thanks, Guv.
It's now £198 on Amazon UK thinks it's worth it?
One of the best case and review of it. Cheers.
Doing a build with it rn
can it fit a 160mm air cooler? unlike the lian li o11
how the bloody hell do you easily clean fuzz off the front screen?
Window cleaner
Is this a good case to have for watercooling
I had this case in mind for my New build, but seeing that 275mm graphics card in there taking up so much space. Its probably not going to take the New Asus 3080 TUF.
Does anyone think ill have trouble sticking a Corsair HX 1200i in the back of that thing?
Why are you using filter at top? The air should push out not in
..
It is going out - I only left it there to keep the lines clean and to show the issues in the video (you can tell about airflow by fan orientation)
How does it compare to the Air 740?
I have one and the worst thing about it is cleaning the front screen.
doesn't look like much room for long gpu's if 360mm rad is fitted
Steffi Thompson u can put the gpu to vertical.
That dust filter is no good for people doing hard line tubing for water cooling as you cant just take it off to clean it. You have to drain the loop which makes this case pointless for non AIO water cooling. Even flex tube wont be that easy. Also shame they are not white filters as well.
The monitor features an IPS panel, no VA. Otherwise great video :)
They didn't have to make it so big to accommodate atx. Overkill size jus like the air 740
Really do not understand the insane overprice of this product, especially when viewed against similar products in their line up.
I am doing a nice white build like this
The price is so insane
Can you out 3 x 140 front?
I'm quite glad I went for the Lian li pco11 dynamic. this doesn't impress me at all.
Oh on a side note TTL love that chair my man thats one i would love to get under my bum.
im happy with my h500m
that's not a usb switch. it's a reset switch.
Т. е. вообще плевать, что харды на восьмой минуте вскипят, так как их вообще ничего не охлаждает?!
Silenced tech?
Cm500m vs c680x ?
Over price case and False High Air Flow Case cant even beat Cooler Master H500p Mesh and it cost $1K+ in my country.
What Max size Rad can i fit in the roof?
280mm
This video convinced me NOT to buy this case and to stick with my Air 540 Carbide.
will this case be big enough for a rtx 3080?
I Think it is
As I remember the case can fit graphics cards up to 330 mm and the lenght of a 3080 forundres edition is 285
10:53 maybe it's just for weight reduction?
Did they confuse this with a race car?
@@OC3D I don't know, It's the best Idea I could come up with. it's for SOMETHING so might as well be this.
A garbage case from corsair, in 2019 and it cannot fit a 360 radiator on top
Has the option in the front so it can keep a smaller desk footprint
17:21
doo doo lol
It's not hatred for vertical GPUs, it's just logically concluding that they're a bad idea. As I've said before, they're for when you want a system with all of the expansion options of an ITX system, but the footprint of a full ATX system. Keeping the GPU on the board where it belongs gives you more options and reduces cost and complexity. It's a no-brainer to get rid of vertical GPUs for anyone who stops to think about it, but case manufacturers need to push something as "the next big thing" to stop you from keeping your five year old case and reusing it.
Or maybe, just hear me out now, people have different opinions than you. Not everyone cares about the most efficient packing of components in a system, and even then a lot of cases still allow for multiple PCIe devices to be plugged in along with vertical GPUs. In the end, aesthetics are a huge part of PC building for a lot of people and case manufacturers giving me options is a good thing, kind of like RGB lighting.
Where did you get the Lazy Susan, for this computer case? LOL 😆
I just bought one to build in this case. so worth it.
Useless glass on the top and front. Hopefully they make a mesh version. The black border on the side reminds me of thick bezels from HD TV’s ten years ago. Wtf are these people thinking.
BossBrownsugar the mesh version of this is the Air 540 hehe
Southeastern777 according to Gamers Nexus the reviewers guide said it was a high airflow case... Everyone knows air passes real easy through glass...
trés bonne vidéo
wow how stupid to make cleaning the dust filters so hard how long they been building cases lol
I'd rather have the Lian Li the original than this, it is overdone & looks cheesy. They should've left this segment alone & focused on a new 850 or 950D
i like it , havent watched the review yet, it better hold 10 hard drives, im a hard drive guy
Hey TTL, I really like your content. Good stuff, especially on those pesky Z370 VRM temps. However, can I offer some constructive feedback? Could you please, in addition to the GBP price, maybe mention the USD or EUR price for reference. We, the rest of the world, will be grateful until the end of the days, or the British Empire. ;)
Not sure there is an empire left tbh. I always try to get both prices but when its an NDA launch sometimes I only get the GBP price the day of the launch let alone being told over seas prices sadly :(
@@OC3D Got ya! Thanks anyway. Keep up the good work!
@@OC3D
Hello, do not tell me whether to fit in 680X NZXT Kraken X62 , thank you in advance for the answer
Few pieces look like my air 740
