Any RTX 4090 vs Lian Li O11 Dynamic?

Looking to upgrade from a 3090 to a 4090 and trying to figure what will fit in my case.

Just wondering if anyone had any experience with stuffing an RTX 4090 in a Lian Li O11 Dynamic Case? (The original O11 Dynamic, not the EVO or Mini or any of the other offshoots). On PCPartsPicker I see a few with the EVO and the Mini, but none with the original O11 Dynamic. I don't want to swap my case out.

If so, which brand/model of RTX 4090 exactly is it that you found to fit?

I currently have an EVGA RTX 3090 Ultra FTW3 in there and it JUST fits with the cables touching the glass (But not providing much pressure to prevent seating of the cables). I've been running this for a year and a half without issue. The length isn't the issue, its the height of the card. Any taller than my 3090 and the 4090 cables won't fit behind the glass. Based on the published specs from various 4090 AIB cards and the 4090 FE, it looks like the 4090 FE should fit. It also looks like the MSI SUPRIM might fit. For either case I'd probably be better off if I can get ahold of some of those new CableMod adapters that are hopefully coming soon.

I have been looking at the published dimensions for various cards and comparing that to the published max GPU heights for this case but published specs are one thing, and actual first hand experience of someone here who has actually put one in this case is another.

I found a few reddit posts of someone who apparently got a zotac 4090 (the spaceship looking one) to fit without issue, but I checked the published specs for that card vs. my case and it still doesn't look like it would fit so I'm leery to consider that one.

At this point, its looking like my best option is just the FE....but I figured I'd ask and see if anyone else used this case with a 4090.

Thanks!
 
Have you measured it? That's about all you can do. Every card shows the mm in length - take what you measured and see what fits. It is one reason the FE is most popular - it's the shortest, by far.
 
MSI RTX 4090 Suprim Liquid fits in a lot of cases I would start by looking there.
 
I vertical mount mine with the Cooler Master V3 mount and it fits perfectly no worries about bending the 16 pin adapter, without the vertical mount it would definitely put some harsh bending on it. I'm currently using the stock adapter that came with my FE card until Corsair restocks their new 2x8 pin to 16 pin adapter. Highly recommend going this route as it's cheaper and easier than buying a new case. They also addressed the issue of sagging with the older versions, this one has zero sag even with the heavy FE sitting on it.

Looks like you may be missing a cpu power connector.
 
I have the 4090 TUF in an EVO case. I cannot close my side panel unless I want to put constant pressure on the cable. I cannot close the back panel because of all the cables I have at the back including need for 4 independent PCIe cables to run for a 4090.

This is by far one of the worst cases I have worked with. I can probably close it if I use Lian Li fans but I am in no mood of ordering 10 fans for this crappy case.

Right now I leave both my side and back panel open and am presently in a IGAF state.

Given EVO suffers from this my assumption would be that original 011 will be worse off.

Here is a photo with panel off.
Also added comparison of 4090 with my 3090 Ti fwiw. 3090 Ti power connector is towards the edge so it didn’t bother with the glass of 011 EVO. Most 4090s are taller than their 3090/Ti counterparts.

Gigabyte 4090 Waterforce. Hoses come out the end of the card. Power cable will touch the glass but fit.
 
I just ordered a prebuildt PC with that case (Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO White Kabinet) and a Asus TUF 4090, so that SKU has to fit or they would not make that option for sale.

These pictures just highlight the ridiculousness of the size of these 4090's.... lol.

He's specifically asking about the NON EVO version of the O11 which has less clearance.
 
Yeah so probably 10mm less clearance than EVO so max is around 140mm for non EVO (need around 20-22mm spacing at minimum) for horizontal gpu so probably needs to go vertical if going anything beyond the 138mm height cards.
 
Just get a vertical mount. Buying a new case is going to cost you a lot more than $70 for something actually good, plus the hassle of transferring all your parts.

EDIT: Did not realize I had already mentioned vertical mounting earlier in the thread lol.
 
Hey all - Stumbled across this thread as Im a Razer O11D (so Orginal size) owner with the same question.

As a few of you have suggested getting a vertical mount is the way forward. One option is to get the Coolermaster v3 vertical mount (which has a PCIe 4.0 riser) but only Im running a PCIe 3.0 motherboard for now. I know that riser cable/GPU/mobo PCIe versions have all sorts of foibles but I think that this will work as its the cable being less than the other components thats the problem. Any thoughts on this?

Im still in hope that I might get something horizontally mounted and for those who really want to go that way then I found this link:
https://lian-li.com/lian-li-pc-case-4090-compatible-list/

Selecting the OG O11D says for all the brands listed "Cards fit without NVIDIA adaptor cable (Slimmer power cable required)" Not sure if that means a 90/180 degree adaptor is used or that if you use an direct to PSU 12vHPWR cable, which are a bit less rigid, then it will be ok. Again clear as mud for us all trying to make an actual decision.

Those that did go vertical mount with anything other than a FE, did you find your temps ok, or massively impacted in this narrow case?

I bought the lian li vertical kit which comes with pci-e 3.0 cable. I ordered a cable from link up for a pcie 4.0 cable. You can run a 4090 in pcie 3.0 mode and may see at most 1-2 fps difference. Running a pcie-3.0 cable in 4.0 mode will cause the card to act unstable in windows.
