Interested to hear our thoughts? We've experimented with a little write-up on our build experiences with some key information. Have a read, let us know if this is something you'd enjoy more often alongside the videos 🙃 Link below: www.mrmattlee.com/post/lianlisup01
You better put a layer of air filter sheet/foam on the casing walls that have input flows. And also if you have time to dremmel the back of your casing so your fan can stay inside.
I started planning my own PC build a year ago. Then I found this channel. I subscribed after 3 minutes. The work put into the content is incredibly enjoying. I simply love and appreciate the work behind it. always and always new and new ideas are born. It's art. Thanks for the content and work. You are the goat of PC building Matt. Keep it up.
At fist i didnt like the look of the case but the air flow is top tier. Lian li really on its case game this year. Few months ago the dan a3 and now this. Another great build mr matt!
My Lancool 216 has this. I have a Noctua A12x25 fan pulling air from the 4090 FE's rear exhaust. I don't really have any statistics for myself, but from what I've read/watched and feeling the heat behind it, it works pretty well!
@@zZTrungZzon a regular case; Yes, it won't work. But, with this case; it works well. Didn't you watch the airflow visualization on this video? Did any of those smoke go back in the rear fan? The fan on the side of the case made sure those heat/smoke does not go back in the case.
@@zZTrungZz Hot air out the backside (lol) 90 degree turn to the rear fan which is a total of about a foot distance, don't think the air will mix unless the pc is in a box.
I was originally conflicted about the fan mounted to the rear of the case but the USB drive sticking out helped rationalize that it really doesn't stick out any more than the normal periphery. thanks for that detail!
Great video and build, but I don't agree about the choice to use this particular motherboard only. This case is specifically designed to be used with a mobo that has back connectors, and would have been very interesting to see a build process like that...
7:03 - 3x outtake fans next to the water cooling steal all the air. 8:03 - The cool air goes through the front and turns into hot air right away from the GPU, then gets drawn out. 8:14 - Draw air from the side panel... we should have a window there, right? Major issue: Only 1 cool air intake from the rear (or the 3 fans from the water cooling may also draw from the rear but very weakly... I don't think the video shows much on that part). I really don't see how the water cooling draws air (and it's useless for an RGB water cooling system because it's all hidden). Also, the PCI-E extended cable is just too long... when the motherboard is designed, it should be as close to the CPU socket as possible. I would never go for this kind of build.
Lian Li seems to dominate the PC case market. These videos never get old, and I didn't know that the RTX 4080 Super would just as big as the RTX 4080. Great job, @Mr_Matt_Lee greetings from India!
Interesting airflow... intakes through the GPU and a single fan externally mounted on the back... exhaust through the AIO and an additional 3 fans mounted behind the MB. I mean, I can see by the visualization that it is indeed exhausting the air, but I don't know... can't wrap my head around it. Definitely an interesting concept, though.
Great video,like allways. Interesting concept...probably the direct fresh air in the Gpu is a great thing....the case seams compact , what i personaly like. Myb the only small thing i dont like is the exteranl exhaust fan. Thx Matt,continue like this👍👍
Don't your think it would be a better idea to do intake for AIO so radiator gets cool air directly from outside instead warm air from inside and GPU. For 7800x3d it probably doesn't matter cuz it's a super cool CPU anyways but for monsters like 14900 I think it would make sense. Thanks 🙏
@Mr_Matt_Lee, thank you for all of the comp build videos you do. I have a question, do you ever do giveaways with these builds or are these builds for friends, family, and or fans of your channel?
It looks kinda.... wierd. Nonthless it looks awesome. It reminds me a bit of the SSUPD Meshlicious S. Both are more vertical than horizontal, both have their GPU "standing" and both have a tempered glas panel. Especially when you put back the front and top cover.
Are there any issues with motherboard cooling on this board? The airflow visual almost made it seem like barely any air even with the rear intake passed over the board. Just immediately got sucked to the back. Also does that rear fan bracket fit a 30mm fan like the T30? I'd also love to know if the Lian Li Hydroshift could be adjusted to work with this design since it's default out of the box config might not be long enough. Maybe undo one management bracket.
I was waiting for this one! There is so much potential in this case meta, and I can’t wait for them to make a V2. The airflow pattern is weird to say the least, and I can see some problems occurring if it’s parked too close to a wall. But is it worth it for the high mid tower design aesthetic? Time will tell.
@mr_matt_lee Your projects have always inspire some of us on how to approach new PC builds, and I am one of your admirers. Unfortunately, some of us (Me) will never be able to construct a budget gaming pc owing to unavoidable circumstances. Now, I was so intrigued by your budget pc build using Montech Air 903 max pc case, that I purchased it through your link, and it was cheap and I love it. The downside was that when shipping from my US warehouse to my country, the shipping payment alone could allow me to buy four more Extra max Air 903 cases, and since that day, I have never recovered enough to even pull myself up to buy accessories to build a pc. I just have an empty computer case in my store trying to figure out how to go about it because its accessories are either 8x pricey or not locally available.
Excellent video. I'm considering this case to move into a little more compact set up. I'm a little concerned about fitment of multiple cables to my GPU, though. I run 3 displayport cables with my set up - do you think there is enough room to make that happen?
In case anyone in the future is wondering it is totally feasible to run 3 or 4 cables through this case to your GPU, it's just a little bit fiddly to do.
I have a question, did you turn up the speed on the fans on the GPU to get it to work better as an intake? And I like the write up on the build. Would be cool if you could do this "ASMR" and one where you maybe do a voiceover explaining things.
I dont get it... so when im NOT gaming, the fans on the GPU is NOT spinning... how will the case cool the other components if there is NO spinning intake fans?
That's what I'm think, a 4080s you really have to ramp it up before the fans start anyway. And also there isnt much overall airflow over the motherboard
@@ItsTharvas I double checked, just the front 3 and 1 rear, the exhaust is instantly pulling the fresh air out of the case shown by the smoke illustration. I'm not an expert by any means but I feel like it's just bad fan placement, although a cool concept. It probably doesn't even matter with how overdone cooling is these days
Wow this is such a clean build! Another banger from Matt as always. Never though the gpu is used as the intake, another unique thing comes from Lian li! But what about the thermal of the cpu? It feels a little... out of place for me seeing that only one fan acts as the intake toward the motherboard 😳
Hello i have a ch560 case 3 intake 1 exhaust i addes 2 bottom intake 2x120mm and top exhaust 2x140mm fans my cpu runs 1-3 degrees hotter why is this...
You have 5 intake vs 3 exhaust. You created a dead spot of hot air in your case where it's not circulating properly. Also mixing and matching fans in either CFM or size isn't optimal. You tend to normally want equal amounts of the same fan for intake and exhaust. If your intakes are pulling in air faster than your exhaust can help.. exhaust, then you get the above mentioned pockets of hot air sitting inside the case, raising the ambient temps inside by a few degrees which you're seeing in CPU and probably also GPU temps.
@@NyteStalker89 my exhaust fans runs around 800 rpm My intake is much faster I also going to upgrade my single cpu cooler fan to a double one.. hope that wil decrease 1-3 degrees. My last step is to undervolt my Cpu in bios its an 7600x amd 3x140mm intake front 2x120mm intake bottom 2x140mm exhaust top 1x120mm exhaust back
I'm wondering what you do with all the rigs you build. And do you have a certain thing with some brands like Kinston and Asus? Because you use a lot of those parts. Just interested :)
Kinda on the fence with this case nice build though I think I would like this case with a project zero or other back connect motherboard since theres no graphics card in front of mobo to hide cables with this setup
Stupid question but how is the airflow when not gaming? The GPU Fans in my current build are mostly not running bc it doesn't need to when i'm not playing. I love this case but one fan on the back and 3 where you don't see them is kinda boring.

Wow... I really enjoy reading your article with the video. It's a more complete review. Thanks
Have you seen the testing done on this case's airflow? It's pretty crazy
The article was interesting and answered a lot of the questions people are asking in the comments! I'd love to see more of these.

This. At first I had the same feelings about the case, but done properly it's really an aesthetic beast! Have an awesome week buddy :D
@@Mr_Matt_Lee how does this compare to the liancool 216 in cooling performance
GPU temperatures are terrible according to two tests I read.
@@Nikolai94 Reading is by no means information.
@@Nikolai94 jayz two cents tested it and gpu temp around 55c - 60c. I think its a decent temp.
That back fan being on the exterior is just weird, but the case in it's self is pretty sick!
My Lancool 216 has this. I have a Noctua A12x25 fan pulling air from the 4090 FE's rear exhaust. I don't really have any statistics for myself, but from what I've read/watched and feeling the heat behind it, it works pretty well!
looks like its barely doing anything other than making noise looking at the smoke
Rear fan being intake doesn't work well. The heat exhausted above the fan will be sucked back into the case.
@@zZTrungZzon a regular case; Yes, it won't work. But, with this case; it works well. Didn't you watch the airflow visualization on this video? Did any of those smoke go back in the rear fan? The fan on the side of the case made sure those heat/smoke does not go back in the case.

That screwdriver spin. Had to watch it 5 times 🤩
when you think the bar is set to maximum, Matt Lee uploads a new build.
Earliest I've been on a video but the production quality and editing are always surprising!!
Great to have you here :D Glad you enjoyed the video!
This channel seriously deserves more subs and views for the sheer production quality and creativity. Amazing stuff Matt 🙌🙌
This is my dream machine right here!! Looks great! Glad they tried something a little different with the GPU placement and it just works well!
This is one of the most cleanest PC Build Videos i have seen so far. Love it 👍
loved this video, I actually used your videos to guide my first PC build I did on my channel! So big thank you to you !!
This style of editing is the best ive ever seen.

Awesome build as always you never disappoint ❤
Just got my case (in white) today! This video got me excited to put my all-white build together.
These videos are truly a work of art, you gotta be an artist to make these
Love how it somewhat removes a hotspot that develops if the gpu and cpu are close together.
This may have been one of the cleanest builds I've ever seen it's awesome 😎
Just bought a Corsair 3500X, but this was on my radar. Currently have my 2021 build in a iCue 5000X. Thanks for the content Matt!

I noticed that too, not enough air for the radiator,, don't get me wrong it's look sick, but I don't think the temps are that good.
@@runspenstinski Not sick at all .... people just want to keep change from regular build.
All these gimmick won't last long .....
Good to see Kingston kc3000 still doing fine in todays's builds! 👍
The quality of your productions keeps going up. Good work!
Great video and even better computer. The best channel about building computers.

Ohaaa Matt, nice build! I love this case, this is finally something else.
Awesome, once again! 🔥
Thank you 😘

Wow, this changed the norm of the Cases.
This is going to be a dust buildup nightmare. Aesthetically it's also not for me , but each to their own :) Great content , as always !
Rear fan as intake results in a positive pressure setup. Fan curve of exhaust can be adjusted if required.
Lian Li is on one right now. Just banger after banger
I love your choice of music. I can look to your video's without seeing them. ☺
Thank You Matt again!
Wow , GPU Intake😮
Very creative , I congratulate you for your talent !! The best indeed🎉

Thanks for the video!!! Special thanks for the music!!!!!
Thanks!
Thanks so much for the support 😄🙌
Epic vids - keep up the good work! 😎
wow GPU intake? Mild boggling and revolutionary.
gone are the day of a cup of Joe and a relaxing build, now is the time installed strobe lights and dance shirtless to the build " I feel dirty"
I really wish we could see how you connect cables to the graphics card. Thats the only thing giving me pause before making this my next PC build.
where can i buy that coffee cup matt? keep it up, your videos bring peace and serenity to us gamers!
Im here for the good tunes, I feel 26 again and out all night
lian li keep comin with a weird but interesting design!
Thank you so much. Interesting PC case :D
UR simply an artist
Yo, this case looks really intersting. Wanna see build w/ this case and Back-to-front motherboard and gpu
unique brand, unique builder
@Mr_Matt_Lee, thank you for all of the comp build videos you do. I have a question, do you ever do giveaways with these builds or are these builds for friends, family, and or fans of your channel?

That outtake cracked me up 😂
Blessed by God, coffee in hand. Let’s go Mr. Matt ❤
Cringe 😬
Coffee in hand too!!☕️
that case is lit 🔥🔥
One problem fans on GPU are hardly on so there's a crap load of negative pressure = dust AKA HOT MESS
it has intake from the back, that back fan goes front and back of the motherboard

Super cool case and lovely visuals as always Matt! What's the name of the first song you used btw? Can't get enough of it
