Lian Li Air Mini Build
by Trung H Posted on: 9/13/2022
Build Description
Built for engineering work and gaming.
Parts were bought from Microcenter, Amazon, Ebay, and r/hardwareswap.
Temps:
CPU 45 idle, 65 gaming
GPU 39 idle, 55 gaming
The fan setup is front & bottom intake - side, top, rear exhaust. It's not ideal but it's for the aesthetics. The GPU holder is also for aesthetics. The Lian Li O11 Air Mini is super nice to build in, and it offers a ton of flexibility. However, I did have difficulty fitting 2 140mm fans on top due to tight clearances of the motherboard, CPU EPS cables and a mobo heatsink up there. So for now there is just a single 1 140mm that's not screwed in and hanging in there. Will look into adding Artic P12 Slim 120mm's, but I don't really see that part and I personally think I have too much exhaust fans already.
