Question Understanding the airflow in this Lian Li case ?

[Assaf Patishi]

Hi,
I wanna get the Lian Li O11D EVO XL case, mainly because of it's ability to accommodate 420mm AIO in the top without any compromises + bottom fans for best air intake for the GPU. And it also looks good
Until now I only had cases with a "normal" airflow pattern (front to back). But with the O11D side fans, isn't the air just going straight to the glass? How can it reach the components?
I am planning to put AIO on top as exhaust and 3 fans at the bottom for the GPU and another 3 fans at the side for main intake. Also another fan at the rear for some extra exhaust.

Can anyone comment on the airflow in this case?

It's not like those fans on the cpu and gpu coolers are there for show. They're going to draw the air that's brought in towards them.

You can pretty much copy what many did with their O11s: in the side+bottom, out the top+rear, and not miss anything.

Love the Lian li quality.

What do you have that requires 420 size aio cooling?
What is your graphics card?
