The LIAN LI O11 Dynamic EVO XL is a thermal powerhouse, engineered to keep even the most power-hungry components running optimally.

• Triple 420mm Radiator Support: A standout feature, this case can simultaneously support up to three 420mm radiators (or 360mm/280mm/240mm equivalents). This means you can install a 420mm radiator at the top, another at the bottom, and a third on the side. This unparalleled liquid cooling capacity is ideal for complex custom loops cooling multiple GPUs and overclocked CPUs.
• Massive Fan Support: The case supports an astounding maximum of 11 fans (120mm or 140mm configurations):
  • Top: Up to 3 x 120mm or 3 x 140mm fans.
  • Side: Up to 3 x 120mm or 3 x 140mm fans.
  • Bottom: Up to 3 x 120mm or 3 x 140mm fans.
  • Rear: Up to 2 x 120mm fans. This extensive fan support allows for highly optimized airflow configurations, catering to both air-cooled and liquid-cooled systems for maximum thermal efficiency.
• Optimized Airflow Paths: The design ensures uncompromised airflow. The bottom panel is fully open for intake, complementing the top and side panels that feature fine mesh behind aluminum, providing both high-end aesthetics and superior ventilation.

3. Unmatched Modularity: Build Your Way:

The LIAN LI O11 Dynamic EVO XL inherits and expands upon the highly modular design of the O11D EVO.

• Reversible Chassis: The entire chassis can be easily reversed to switch between a standard or inverted motherboard layout. This allows for left-side or right-side display of your components, adapting to your specific desk setup or viewing preference.
• Adjustable Motherboard Tray: The motherboard tray offers three adjustable height levels. This flexibility allows builders to optimize clearance for top or bottom radiators, customize rear fan placement, and better accommodate various component thicknesses.
• Multi-Mode GPU Mounting: Offers exceptional versatility for graphics card installation:
  • Standard Horizontal: Eight expansion slots provide ample room for even the thickest GPUs, with a generous 460mm GPU length clearance. An included anti-sag bracket provides essential support for heavy cards.
  • Vertical Mounting (Optional Kit): Showcase your GPU’s front-facing fans with an optional vertical mounting kit.
  • Upright Mounting (Optional Kit): A unique upright position (with an optional accessory) allows for a “chimney-style” airflow path directly to the GPU and CPU. An optional Front Mesh Kit can be used in conjunction with the upright GPU mount for direct front intake.

4. Comprehensive Component Compatibility:

The vast interior of the LIAN LI O11 Dynamic EVO XL ensures compatibility with virtually any high-end PC component on the market.

• Motherboard Support: Accommodates a wide range of motherboard form factors, including E-ATX (up to 280mm width), ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX. It also supports “back-connect” motherboards (e.g., ASUS BTF, MSI Project Zero) for the ultimate clean aesthetic.
• CPU Cooler Clearance: Supports CPU air coolers up to 167mm tall, allowing for powerful tower coolers.
• PSU Compatibility: Fits standard ATX power supplies up to 220mm in length in the rear chamber.
