im using the hyte y60 case. i have the cpu 360 rad in the top and the 3080ti hybrid rad in the side, seems to work perfectly, everything is set for exhaust. in the basement of the case i have 2 140 fans blowing cool air into the chamber . if u havent seen this case yet, ck it out. 




Hey thanks, saw the Jayz video on that the other day, glad to hear you like it.

A nice bay window looking case but one review put the thermals as a con which tells me the airflow isn't so great.

The Lian Li O11 has decent airflow and aesthetics but not the best of both.  Depending how the airflow is set via case/rad fans, you'll either get decent thermals with a good looking rig or higher than optimal thermals that I've seen over the few years from other system builders who ended up going full custom H20.

The more fresh cooler air entering the case the better, especially for rads.

thats one review and that doesnt change my opinion at all. if u use aio for cpu and gpu hybrid which im doing and u have the basement fans blowing cool air into the chamber it works great. 
one review doesnt mean anything, here is a review of mine, thermals are great and it looks great, easy to build in.

Been waiting for one of these to come available but its pushed my case choices into limbo again. Id really like to mount it to the rear but not many cases will take a 240 rad there.
 I have a o-11 evo in my cart but now i am rethinking things.. I also was loking at the 1000D but while it looks like i could mount it there, the bloody thing is massive and i dont want to go broke filling it with rgb fans.
 
any other recommendations? I have a feeling i will need to mount it either on the side of the o-11 which i guess could work, or grab that house they call a computer case.



I would personally recommend the O11 XL. It is larger than the evo, I think the evo is just a tad bit larger than the original dynamic but still similar in size (don't quote me on that). However, the XL is the largest of the cases. It fits my hybrid pretty well. I have both of my hybrid and cpu set as an exhaust, and I installed a custom front panel for intake. My bottom fans are intake as well. I would personally buy the XL over the evo for the size alone, but to each its own preference!
 
Below is how my set up currently looks. My apologies for just posting the links as I do not know how to post a picture on here!

i was looking at the XL as well but I think it still will only take 1 120mm fan in the back so a 240 rad there wont work



 
I'm trying to figure out why you are so concerned with mounting a 240 AIO in the rear or a case.  So many cases have plenty of room for a pair of 240mm or 360mm AIOs.  You aren't required to mount an AIO on the rear of a case.

Mid cases are starting to grow on me being used to having large to supersize cases (900D).  I just don't enjoy carrying the load around when it's time to move it for whatever reason.




Agreed.  Went out of my way, and spent a lot of money to pick up a new Thermaltake Core X9 for my rig.
And my aging back ain't quite what it used to be (and I put the damn thing on casters!)
The weight is only part of the problem.
The sheer, ungainly volume is the real issue.
Simply lifting it isn't the problem.
Trying to shimmy up a narrow flight of stairs and/or through a narrow doorway is ALMOST as fun as having your teeth removed, using an 8 inch hole saw and no anesthetic.  THROUGH YOUR POOP CHUTE!

I'm torn about getting a that can handle a 360mm top mount, I've got my Kingpin front exhausting in my Lancool II, temps are OK for now but it's just wrong.  Wish I had bought a O11 air when they were still available, might have to get a Lancool 3 when they become available.

Performance PCs and some other companies sell replacement front panels for the Lian Li O11 and Lian Li O11 XL that add three 120mm fans.

Hey thanks!  I'd probably just get a 5000D airflow and call it good.

I would go with a 5000d or 011 evo.  I'm not sure why you're attached to having the rad exhaust out the rear.  It would be fine to have it exhaust out the top instead, and you'll have plenty of airflow with either of those cases.  But that's just me.  If for whatever reason you're glued to having it exhaust out the back, then yes your options will be very limited, and you'll end up making major concessions (such as the the gigantic size and weight of the 1000D).  Just my two cents, though.  Go with whatever feels best for you.

I bought my front panel for the o11 xl from coldzero. I love it 👌. I like the Lian Li's look of no shroud on the bottom.

I believe it is more that many of us believe having a GPU exhausting out the front of the case is a crime against nature. Side exhaust is woke, man.

You know, I might try a peg leg fan config with the Kingpin on my Lancool - mount the 360mm rad top with 2x 120mm fans pulling and 3x pushing.  It may clear the front power switch box area.

I had the 5000d and now the 7000d with the hybrid cooler, both great cases. My thermals were best with the hybrid radiator mounted on the side as exhaust. I also placed the cpu aio on top as exhaust, and fans on the front as intake.

Some people would probably have a fit if they saw my case.  The intake is on the bottom, top, and side.  The exhaust is mostly out of the front.
