Lian Li again manages to improve an already extremely functional and chic case. The Lian Li O11Dynamic XL Midi-Tower combines brushed aluminum with tempered glass elements. The dimensions of the case have been adjusted so that even huge SSI-EEB motherboards ASUS ROG Dominus Extreme with Intel's C621 chipset and socket 3647 for Xeon processors can be comfortably accommodated in the case with the help of an optional expansion rail. What has remained is the wide two-chamber design of the Midi-Tower, which offers plenty of space for further sophisticated gaming components with excellent cable management and enables the installation of extensive air or custom water cooling.
The features of the Lian Li O11Dynamic XL (ROG Certified) Midi-Tower:
Noble combination of aluminum, tempered glass and steel
Space for motherboards with E-ATX, ATX, Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX form factor
6x 2.5 "SSDs & 4x 3.5" HDDs including HDD hot swap function
Front panel with 4x USB 3.0 Type-A & 1x USB 3.1 Type-C
Graphics cards up to 44.6 cm in length
Three installation slots for 360 mm radiators
Up to ten 120 mm fans possible
E-ATX case with elegant design: brushed aluminum meets tempered glass
With the modular Lian Li O11Dynamic XL (ROG Certified) Midi-Tower, steel is skillfully combined with a side part made of tinted tempered glass. Lian Li goes one step further and equips the right side part and the lid with 1 millimeter thick aluminum. The front is also made of tempered glass and, together with the side part, allows an almost unobstructed view of the inside of the housing.
The right part of the front houses the I / O panel with a USB 3.1 Type-C port, two USB 3.0 ports and the two mandatory audio connections. Two further USB 3.0 ports are located on the right foot end of the front. There is a subtle RGB LED strip between the I / O panel and tempered glass pane, which extends from top to bottom and whose lighting can be controlled via two switches on the panel. Optionally, the RGB LED strip can also be connected to a conventional 5VDG slot on an appropriately equipped mainboard.
Plenty of room for gaming hardware
The Lian Li O11Dynamic XL (ROG Certified) Midi Tower offers plenty of space for powerful gaming hardware. Even the huge SSI EEB mainboard ROG Dominus Extreme from Asus can be installed with the help of an optional expansion rail from Lian Li. Graphics cards can be up to 446 millimeters long, CPU coolers can have a height of 167 millimeters. An ATX power supply is installed upright at the bottom left and can be 210 millimeters long.
For the installation of AiO or custom water cooling, the case offers the option of accommodating up to three 360 mm radiators at the same time: one in the lid, one on the bottom and one next to the mainboard. In the right side part there are also ventilation slots to dissipate the heat accordingly. If you want to install three 360 mm radiators at the same time, narrow specimens should be used in the lid and a slim radiator next to the mainboard. In general, the installation of three triple radiators is possible, but this requires some attention when choosing the components for the custom water cooling. In the lid there is also the option of installing a 280 mm radiator.
Excellent airflow for fantastic cooling
The radiator slots can of course also be filled with fans. On the side behind the front, on the lid and on the bottom there can be up to three 120s, on the lid and on the bottom there are two 140s instead of three 120s. For a clean cable management, there are several partially rubberized cable bushings, which are placed on the middle plate next to the mainboard. The right chamber houses the hardware that hardly radiates heat and does not need to be cooled, such as the power supply and the HDD drives.
The Lian Li O11Dynamic XL (ROG Certified) Midi-Tower stands slightly elevated on rubberized steel feet, so that cool air gets into the case through the bottom provided with a dust filter. Due to the chimney effect, the warm air rises, where it escapes through the lid, which is also equipped with a dust filter. Two additional dust filters cover the two perforated grilles in the right side section. The elegant Lian Li O11Dynamic XL (ROG Certified) Midi-Tower is not only definitely a real eye-catcher and can easily accommodate gaming hardware, but is also particularly suitable for PC enthusiasts who want to cool their hardware using a custom loop.
There are two HDD cages for mounting the data storage, in which four 3.5-inch HDDs or four 2.5-inch HDDs / SSDs can be accommodated. The four slots can be reached from the back of the housing, they are covered by a perforated cover. Three 2.5-inch drives can also be found on the back of the mainboard tray

Intel itself speaks of the fastest desktop processor in the world with the new top model, the Core i9-13900K. To achieve this goal, Intel has increased clock rates up to 5.8 GHz, doubled the number of E-Cores and revised the cache system.
The Core i7-13700K(F) and the Core i5-13600K(F) are located under the Core i9-13900K(F), although Intel has doubled the number of built-in E-Cores here as well. Accordingly, the i7 has 16 cores with 24 threads and clock rates of up to 5.4 GHz (+400 MHz). The small i5 has 14 cores with 20 threads with clock rates of up to 5.1 GHz (+200 MHz). But not only the clock rates of the P cores but also the E cores have increased significantly: specifically by 400 MHz for the i9 and i7 and by 200 MHz for the i5.
Intel states that the above changes should increase single-thread performance by up to 15 percent and multi-core performance by up to 41 percent. According to the test values, the 13900K calculates up to 24 percent faster than its predecessor in 32 selected games and in more than half the increase should be at least five percent.
The upcoming Raptor Lake processors are fully compatible with all socket 1700 mainboards with a 600 chipset. Compared to its predecessor, the new Z790 socket offers eight additional PCIe Gen4 lanes, with the chipset itself now being connected to the CPU with DMI Gen 4.0. In addition, the chipset can provide more USB 3.2 ports with fast 20 Gbps.
Liquid cooling system, consisting of: • Processor Cooler • Graphics Card Cooler • Radiator • 12V Pump (s) • Coolant (in different colors possible) • Hard tube piping • Expansion tank • Accessories (connections, fans, etc.)
Water cooling in a PC is a powerful active technique to dissipate power dissipation into heat.
In computers, electrical energy taken from the mains is converted into heat. As the power density of modern computers increases, so does the heating of individual components. In previous computers, the surrounding air was enough to dissipate low specific power dissipation in relation to the surface due to radiation and natural convection without any additional heat sinks. Today, passively cooled PCs generally only have heatsinked; used in actively cooled by fan assistive acting heat sink.
The aim of water cooling in a PC is to dissipate the heat generated in the PC, in particular, as efficiently and as quietly as possible, especially from the semiconductors that heat up during operation, such as the main processor or graphics processor. Also, a possible increase in performance of the computer by operating on the officially approved specifications (overclocking) is a field of application of water cooling.
The comparatively high heat capacity of the cooling medium water favors the heat absorption of small-area heat sources, as they are typical in a computer.
In addition to the improved heat dissipation, the water cooling often allows a considerably quieter operation compared to other cooling concepts.
The heat flow between the semiconductor and the heat transfer surface is ultimately limited by the finite thermal conductivity of the internal, intermediate materials. These materials thus represent a solid and unchangeable thermal resistance as a sum.

SAMSUNG SSD PM9A1 1TB, M.2, design Solid State Module (SSM), form factor M.2 2280, interface M.2 / M-Key (PCIe 4.0 x4), read 7000MB / s, write 5100MB / s SLC-Cached IOPS 4K read / write 1000k / 850k, memory modules 3D-NAND TLC, Samsung, 136 layers (V-NAND v6), reliability prognosis 1.5 million hours (MTBF), Samsung Elpis (S4LV003) controller, 8 channels, 1GB cache (LPDDR4), SLC cache, NVMe 1.3c protocol, data protection functions 256bit AES, TCG Opal 2.0, power consumption 0.035W (idle), 0.005W (sleep mode), special features L1.2 low-power standby.
The Samsung OEM SSD PM9A1 is made entirely of semiconductor components and uses NAND flash memory, which has high reliability and advanced technology in a small form factor. Thanks to the support of the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) 4.0 interface standard, performance is much faster than that of SATA SSDs. A comparison of the speed makes it clear that the PM9A1 version is definitely ahead. In contrast to the 6,000 MB / s, the two previous models only offered 3,500 MB / s. This is no wonder. After all, both OEMs were equipped with PCIe 3.0 and not the latest PCIe 4.0 standard.
The Samsung PM9A1 is an M.2 SSD with PCIe 4.0 and practically the OEM counterpart to the 980 Pro.
SEAGATE BarraCuda Compute 4TB, 3.5", 256MB, SATA 6Gb/s, form factor 3.5", 20mm, cache 256MB, power consumption 3.7W (operation), 2.5W (idle), noise level 24dB(A) (operation), 22dB(A) (idle), recording method Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR), Drive Managed SMR, sectors 4KB with emulation (512e).
After Hitachi and Western Digital, Seagate is now also offering a 4 terabyte model for desktop PCs. On the other hand, the manufacturer has the edge in terms of data density with 1000 GB per magnetic disk.
The rotational speed of the is only 5400 instead of 7200 revolutions per minute, as was previously the case with the Barracudas. This ensures lower power consumption, but at the expense of the transfer rates. However, Seagate compensates for this slowdown with the high data density and packs a whole terabyte onto a magnetic disk. According to the manufacturer, this corresponds to up to 340,000 data tracks on a width of around 25 millimeters. Converted, the track width is only 75 nanometers.
This requires extremely precise control of the read/write heads. To do this, Seagate uses AcuTrac technology, which constantly determines the flying height of the heads via two sensors and compensates for it with the finest temperature changes in the carrier material. In addition, Seagate uses Advanced Format technology to increase the sector size from 512 bytes to 4 kilobytes - this reduces the additional memory requirements for address and check bits, which are then available for user data.
The sequential transfer performance of the 4 TB drive from Seagate is impressive: the 3.5-inch hard drive achieves a maximum of almost 175 MB/s. In the particularly fast burst mode, in which the hard disk transfers data directly via the 64 MB buffer memory, the transfer rate even climbed to almost 250 MB/s.

Microsoft Windows 10 Professional 64Bit, pre-installed with all necessary device drivers. Switch on and get started!
The launch of Windows 10 and the associated developments are among the most important market launches in Microsoft's corporate history. Windows 10 not only brings a new version of the operating system onto the market, Windows 10 enables a new platform generation:
"We want to ensure that we offer developers the largest and most vibrant user base for their applications," said Satya Nadella in his opening keynote at BUILD 2015 in San Francisco. Windows 10 is now available in 190 countries and 111 languages.
The browser is really new in Windows 10: Edge replaces Internet Explorer. The new browser doesn't just have the cooler name. It is also much faster. In almost all browser benchmarks, Edge depends on IE 11 from Windows 8.1. It can almost double its pace in Mozilla's Kraken benchmark. It looks the same in Google's Octane 2.0 test. Its pace remains roughly the same in the Sunspider test and the Peacekeeper benchmark. Conclusion: When it comes to the browser speed, Windows 10 with Edge catches up a lot. In Kraken and Octane, Edge overtakes the competition, in the Sunspider he stays ahead. The old conditions are only preserved in the Peacekeeper test.
Windows start
Microsoft already shortened the start times of Windows extremely with Windows 8. If the computer is switched off using "Shut down", it does not switch itself off, but only goes into hibernation - from which it can wake up more quickly. Even with a real Katlstart or restart, Windows 8.1 is slightly slower: However, over time, Windows remembers the files that it needs for the start: The start time is shortened with repeated starts. After ten starts, the two operating systems were almost on par with 20 seconds (Windows 10) and 22 seconds (Windows 8.1).
System performance
Windows is actually getting faster and faster the older it gets: For most components, manufacturers are releasing ever more up-to-date drivers that accelerate the hardware. Windows feels like it is getting slower and slower: This is mostly due to the fact that the autostart folder is filling up with more and more entries, more and more tools are running in the background and more and more programs that are no longer used are littering the memory. The performance tests show hardly any difference between Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. Sometimes one system is faster, sometimes the other. But all the results are so closely related - with less than three percent difference - that no difference is noticeable in practice. This also applies to tests such as Cinebench R15, which primarily check the processor performance. Even if we repeated the tests several times, nothing changed: When saving and buffering frequently used files, nothing seems to have changed between Windows 8.1 and 10. Conclusion: When it comes to hardware performance, Windows 10 is as fast as Windows 8.1 - or vice versa. So that Windows 10 stays fast, the same rules apply as always with Windows: Install the latest drivers and keep the system clean.
3D performance
Windows 10 comes with the new Direct X12 3D interface. DX12 is designed to allow game programmers to use the capabilities of the GPU more efficiently. Computers with less powerful graphics cards can also benefit from this and display graphically complex games more smoothly. At the moment, the potential of DX12 can only be demonstrated using synthetic benchmarks such as the API overhead test. Conclusion: Windows 10 has the potential to accelerate games on weaker systems thanks to the DX12. But the concrete results will only show games that use DX12. The first should appear at the end of the year.
Windows 10 lays a good foundation: the hardware manufacturers have to use this to tease out a performance plus with improved drivers. Or in the case of Direct X12 game programmers who use the capabilities of the new interface in games.
