The VGA-Vertical Top Mode gives more clearance for fan installation in the bottom, with 60mm total clearance. With an ATX motherboard only 240mm radiators can be installed in the bottom.
I'm planning on booting my NZXT H510 hotbox in August with the release of the Lian Li O11 Air Mini. I've been on the hunt for an ATX case that isn't much bigger than what I have and will give me drastically better thermals at a whisper quiet. I am currently running a 280mm AIO as intake, with a 120mm Noctua for rear exhaust, and 140mm Noctua for top exhaust. I had some great temps on my ASUS TUF 3080 in quiet mode, but needed to add the 280mm AIO to calm my 5600X. I'm planning on transitioning all components and will decide on either going cheap with Arctic P14/P12 fans, or drop some cash on RGB. I've attached an image of what I'm planning to do with the O11 Air Mini. The 280mm AIO will only fit on front or bottom (which won't work). Looking at this, this is going to be a real pressure positive case. Should I look to not do the side intake to make things as neutral as possible? Any experience with the other O11 cases I would think could help me here. Thanks! You will have noted the floor of the case is completely empty and could easily accommodate a second radiator so our key message is that Lian Li and Der8auer have come up with a clever design that gives you plenty of options. Optimized Dust Management The mesh panels of O11 Air Mini are designed as dust filters and intake sufficient air into the chassis.
Clearance for High-Performance CPU Cooler and ATX PSU Although O11 Air Mini is a compact case, it provides up to 167mm height CPU clearance, allowing users to mount their performance CPU cooler in the system. Furthermore, the Lian Li O11 Air Mini rear panel is modular. It is possible to reduce the 7-slot rear to 5 slots and to move the mainboard opening downwards. A matching bezel is included in the scope of delivery. Thus, the possibility for a radiator in the lid can be created. It should be noted, however, that this does not work with an ATX mainboard, as this requires the full height. However, if you have a Micro-ATX mainboard, you have all options open here. Undeniably, the Lian Li O11 Air MINI has become an airy case. It accommodates a lot of fans and absolutely does not get in the way of airflow. The mesh structure allows the air to flow well and looks really good to boot in our eyes. It gives the case an absolutely clean look. This is also rounded off by the glass panel on the side, which provides a view into the interior.
The VGA-Vertical Bottom Mode gives only 20mm clearance and does not allow for fan or radiator installation. With any motherboard it does not allow fan or radiator support in the bottom. Dual Chamber Design for Cable Management The dual-chamber design behind the motherboard tray made cable management a simple job.The power supply is mounted in the Lian Li O11 Air Mini as usual with four screws. Well thought-out by Lian Li: The power supply is slightly elevated and does not rest on the floor. This gives you the opportunity to neatly run cables underneath and thus reach the lower slots on the motherboard. Similar openings are also found on the upper edge. In the HDD/SSD case, the disks can be stored in two holders with the included screws. Once screwed tight, they can be put into the case. Practical test The O11 AIR MINI is ideal for air cooling builds, as it has enough clearance for up to 170mm for larger tower coolers. Lian Li O11 Air Mini supports a motherboard up to E-ATX, however it is much more interesting when you work with a smaller Micro-ATX as that allows you to open up the top of the case for cooling hardware. To test the functionality of the case, we installed some hardware components. We used the following components for this purpose:
