Lian Li Strimer
Lian Li has also provided us with the Strimer, which is an RGB add-on for your 24-pin power cable from the PSU. It ships in a compact black cardboard box and includes a white PSU extension cable along with the lighting elements and installation equipment.
To add the Strimer to your system, first connect the extension to your existing PSU cable tree. This in turn plugs straight into your motherboard. Next, apply the clear RGB-equipped element to then route the whole thing like you would a traditional 24-pin cable.
Lian Li allows you to control the Strimer via a provided PCB that fills up an expansion slot of the motherboard. Alternatively, you may connect the unit straight to your motherboard to sync the color and animations with the rest of the system
I have to say that I was not sure what to expect as I am not a big fan of the "RGB everything" movement. But after turning the system on and cycling through the possible animations and color choices, the Strimer is pretty amazing.
Lian Li RGB Fans
On top of that, Lian Li has also included a set of three RGB fans which are meant to be controlled via a PCB splitter through the motherboard's 4-pin header.
The fans themselves utilize a sturdy aluminium and plastic material mix with semi-clear fan blades. The splitter PCB allows you to connect up to six fans to a single header, which means you are easily able to expand any chassis and load it up nicely.
I installed the three units in the ceiling of the chassis with the air being pushed out through the top of the case. This would also be the setup if you happen to have a 360 mm radiator in this part of the PC-O11 Air.
Finished Looks
Having everything back in place reveals all the necessary parts—you can see the motherboard, GPU, and any cool SSDs you may want to show off. You could also install up to nine fans and three radiators to light everything up. Unlike the PC-O11 Dynamic, which comes with no fans out of the box, you will find the two included units within the Air quite helpful even without any additional units. The power button lights up white once turned on, which is the only source of lighting the PC-O11 Air comes with.
You can clearly see the motherboard, GPU, and RGB memory within the case when everything is turned on, while the opposing metal panel reveals nothing due to the metal mesh dust filters. In the rear, the primary PSU bay is filled, while all the motherboard components are where you would expect them to be. Lian Li offers additional accessories to install a vertical GPU to show that off as well, should you want to do so.
