  • Hi, I have a PC-K62 and i need help removing the front 140mm fan to do a replacement.

    Can anyone here help?

  • I'm uh really gonna haft....to uh subscribe!

  • which one is better for ventelation/dusts resistant. this one or CM storm trooper?

  • K63 broooo

  • Good work!

  • 4:23 I wonder how many times they had to shoot that scene.

  • Would be sweet if Lian Li/Lancool releases an updated version with USB 3. =)

  • I would have a question: can be mounted the Corsair H100 cooler in it?

  • @dylancakes yes, i now have a gtx580 in this case :)

  • love these reviews, dont know why they dont have more views :DDDD ILL ALWAYS WATCH THEM SO DONT WORRY!!!!!

  • What song is playing in the beginning ? It's incredible

  • Looks like a great case. It's a pick between this and the CoolerMaster CM690 II Advanced for me.

  • I bought this case about a month ago. If anyone is looking for a very nice mid tower case with a good price, this is a great buy. Has great space, and good airflow (although I would recommend upgrading the stock fans for better cooling). Has plenty of room, and my large Corsair A70 cooler fits just fine. Cable management is very doable, you just have to be patient and route the cables the right way. I give the case a solid 9/10.

  • I'm getting this soon also then i have many functions on inside building.

    I was thinking on the basis of...

    I7 SB

    2X Nvidia GTX 560TI SLI

    Memory 16gb either 1333 or 1600 mhz

    650W Corsair PSU

    MSI Military Motherboard

    Akasa cpu cooler

    :) any suggestions on a better build ?

  • @KompanyCommands Unless you do have a tendency to run over 20 apps at a time, there is absolutely NO reason to get 16GB of RAM. Get 4-8GB. I can't think of any apps that can really use all that. Even the CS5.5 suite can only use like 6GB of it. And that's still 2GB left for other apps. Use that extra money to either get a better motherboard, like a Gigabyte or an ASUS, or upgrade your CPU cooler to a Noctua or a Megahalems. You really can't go wrong with the other stuff though.

  • @KompanyCommands i would definitively go with an 800watt power supply, 650watts is marginal for a dual graphics card setup, even if they are not high end thirsty GPU's. the build looks great, just get a higher wattage psu (preferably corsair, coolermaster, thermaltake :P)

  • where do you buy this case it's not on newegg or amazon

  • @neilsabo It is on newegg, just not under the Dragonlord name. It's just the Lian Li Lancool PC-K62. :)

  • @elegancewasmurdered ah ok... thanks!

  • How loud are the fans?

  • @babbersabber

    The fans ain't amazingly quiet, but i bought a scythe Kaze Master Ace and leave the fans at about 50-60% That way you can barely hear them, and you still get a nice amount of air passing through ;)

    Best case i have ever had in my life! it's a beast!!

  • Amazing Case for an amazing price! GET IT NAO!

  • I wanted to buy this case but since i couldn't find it anywhere on stock (and no word of availability either) i settled with a CM 690 II. I'm not sad but i'm regreting a bit, this case had way more style, better features and 4 stock fans....

  • I bought this case for my i5 2500k /GTX 570 set up

    ITS A FUCKING BEAST CASE.

  • wub wub wub

  • I got it (:

  • Anyone who has this case help me? The 8 PIN CPU cable doesnt fit through the hole because the hole is blocked by the ridge at the top.

  • @cheesefarts1

    You need some common sense above all, i don't have this case but i suggest 2 solutions: 1. Take the mobo off, route the cable through the hole and keep it out of the way with ducktape or something, install mobo back and be happy. 2. Buy a 8 pin CPU cable extension and route the cable through the upper hole on the far right of the motherboard tray..

  • @kalimul Dont worry I have common sense and Ive tried everything except the extension which im going to get next week. BTW the motherboard isnt blocking the hole at all its the metal coming off the top that the side panel latches onto

  • @cheesefarts1

    If the case itself is blocking the 8 pin plug, just buy a 8 pin CPU cable extension that has a breakable 8 pin (4+4 pin) male plug. I'm pretty sure it will fit splitted in 2 x 4 pin and you can reattach them after it goes through the hole. Good luck.

  • @kalimul ive tried that too with no luck :(

  • best case review, EVER

  • Can I off the LED light of the fan? Anyone mind helping me by answering this. :)

  • @oozzDES Yeah you can cut cable leading to the LEDs. Thats what I did

  • Shouldnt there be more intake then exhaust?

  • FYI everyone, if you think you need a full-size tower for cooling + space, you don't. I've got a full size ATX mobo, two 11 inch long Ati 5870's in crossfire, a HUGE 120mm CPU heatsink, 1000watt PSU and 4hdd's. Stock fans (included) keep everything running cool (AMD 1090t @ 3.8ghz under 50c!!!). Its a great case, and looks fab!

  • @heffyg101

    What mobo u running?

  • @MrDJHappyFace gigabyte 890fxa-ud5p

  • @heffyg101 while i dont have this case i have to say that 50c is not a good temp. if its ur full load temp then its ok but not good or excellent. and if thats ur idle temp then thats a horrible temp to run and i would suggest u get a better cpu fan or case. my 1100t running at 4.0ghz is around 35-40c full load and i have a simple apviea old style case with 4 120mm fans and a corsair v8 cpu fan. temperatures 50 and 50c+ will seriously reduce the lifetime of the cpu.

  • does it fit 11" gpu ?

  • @wendigorgc yes,i have two ati 5870's in this case. top card could be even longer, and use some of the dvd drive space. second card would hit the HDD cage after 11".

  • In the end of this Vid the HDD drops out of it's cage. I have same problem, it just won't sit tight. Same is true when i've inserted the cage into the whole unit (the WHOLE case).  Can anyone help me or even put up a Vid how to do it properly?

  • @olafreinhardweyer just use screws or cable tie it in place. I have 4 drives in the cage, you need to put a fair bit of pressure on them to snap the plastic tabs in place. give it one more go, then try an alternative method.

  • @heffyg101 HI HAD IT! Enough is enough. The moment in snap the HD Cages into the case, the HD sits no longer tight in it's indivdual cage (the one you can take out). Using the screw or sliding that slide on the left side of the whole Lancool HD Unit has now effect whatsoever, hell i can't screw that screw in. I give it one more try tomorrow. After that i will take big fat hammer and smash that damned thing because i certainly won't inflict this stupid thing on someone else

  • could a 140mm fan be put in the space of three 5.1/4" bays ?

  • @zpolukuchka yes - but you will have to cable tie it in place.

  • Fits the Corsair H50?????????????

  • @TechAmazingness I was able to fit a CM V-8 on the mobo, it fits quite well with the case.. The only thing taking space in the H50 is the rad

  • "but you'll soon get the idea." Get the idea of what? That line made literally zero sense.

  • @cyrix522 It's the idea that the many small useful things about this case make it stand out.

  • @Doobadoobas That is a piss poor explanation for what they said. What they said makes literally zero sense. They either missed a few words for that sentence or they have no idea what they're talking about. And given their history, I'd go with the former.

  • @cyrix522 That is what they meant .____.

  • @Doobadoobas I know what they meant. The way they worded it however was terrible. *facepalm*

  • @cyrix522 Lolyea I totally agree it took me an hour after watching it to finally realize it XD

  • @cyrix522 Looking back, I think it actaully meant because the whole thing was tool-less..

  • @str8maks Me too, it came to me today...

  • THIS OR ANTEC 902 v3! PLEASE REPLY :D

  • @ziianHD this

  • @ziianHD Definitely the K62. Lancool is owned by Lian Li who has pwned the case market for years. Personally, I think Lian Li makes the highest quality cases on the market and always presents a premium quality for their premium price.

  • is dragonlord k62 the same as Lian Li Lancool PC-K62? and are the fans on top defeault?

  • the tooless design is what made me buy this beauty

  • Excellent video! Very well put together and highly informative.

    Thanks.

  • And will I be able to fit a h70 cpu watercooler into the case?

  • This the HAF 922 or the CM Sniper or the NZXT tempest evo or Antec 902 ??

  • @beddowNbedford not the antec or nzxt.

  • @deathflyer10 I was gonna go for the NZXT since lots of people told me its bigger, and better build and has great air flow

  • @beddowNbedford The haf 922 has better airflow and looks much butter tbh.

  • @deathflyer10 the looks are your personal preference.

  • @deathflyer10 You got to be kidding...HAF- 922 has good airflow but its just damn ugly/crap design(thats why I never bought)...My K62 pretty much has almost the same airflow

  • specialtech.co.uk/spshop/custo­mer/Lian-Li-Case-Accessories-c­id-862.html all about accessories

  • Can you do a showcase for the PC-K63? =)

  • um, is this MN12BIRD??

  • Comment removed

  • Better cable management, more fans to start off with, side window, rotatable HDD cage, hands-down the best toolless implementation, better build quality.

    If you're planning to watercool however, go with CM 690.

  • the Magicool 280 D radiator will fit underneath the top panel

  • the Magicool 280 D radiator wil fit under the top panel

  • Cm 690 ii advanced or this case? Tell me why!

  • if i have a bottom mounted power supply and my pc is on carpet, will this cause a problem?

  • nenopc2011/education

  • i wish it had an option for two fans in the front, doesn't seem like that front fan can cut it for that many exhausts

  • this or the tempest evo? what about the fractal design define r3?

  • I love the part where you actually show yourself throwing the screw driver into the trash. Really emphasizes the tooless design thing lol.

  • Will this Case fit a HD Radeon 6950 (2GB)?

  • @Nico20610 yes, absolutely.

  • This will fit a D14 cooler easily.

  • how about the Corsair Cooling Hydro H70 will it work in this case?

  • Will this one fit the Noctua NH-D14???

  • @HardwareCanucks could this case possibly be able to fit in a Noctua NH-D14 cpu cooler?

  • Can't you just buy and use a 140mm to 120mm fan adapter to install a dual rad on the top of the case?

  • LOL! the harddrive fell off the bracket :) What happen?

    Is the harddrive still usable after that incident ?

  • @ljcayie He didn't lock the side-flaps properly.

  • whats the largest video card can this case hold max?

  • how about the corair H70?

  • @124Z312 yes it fits

  • @GamingTechTips thank you

  • Will this case fit a HD Radeon 5870?

  • @Nico20610 yes it leaves an inch left

  • Are you able to turn the LEDs off?

  • Where can I ground myself on this case?

  • I plan on transferring my computer to this case. How hard will it be?

  • can it fit 3 nvidia gtx 480 cards???

  • Is it possible to use screws for the psu instead of that bar?

  • Throwing the screwdriver in the trash bin had quite the dramatic effect.

  • You need to take of the "tool less expansion clips" if you plan to put in a Radeon HD 5850.

    I've tried it and had to take it off.

  • Comment removed

  • Silverstone has released a 140mm version of the air penetrator fans so this case has just become even more awesome!

  • HardwareCanucks which case is better. K62 or 902. I'm soo torn between the two.

  • @HardwareCanucks

    Slightly hard to tell with the vid, but does the 8 pin go through the cpu cutout and underneath the mobo or does it have its own hole up top?

  • I have read that all 4 of the case fans use a 3 pin connector. The motherboard I'm purchasing with the case only has 2 of those (ASUS Sabertooth). Did you have to use adapters or splitters to power all the fans? What approach would you recommend for powering all 4 fans? I am new to the concept and a recommendation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • @HardwareCanucks

    Will it hold an H50, In that case where do you place the fan from it ?

  • HardwareCanucks just to let you know a dual 140mm radiator will fit were the blue 140 fans are posistioned just remove the fans fit the 140s between the gap of the mobo and top the rad im using is a HW Labs stealth 280.i can link you to a picture if you need it :D great video btw its wat made me buy the case ages ago.

  • Will a ASUS Crosshair IV Formula Motherboard fit in this case?

  • It's relatively new

  • can it fit a 5970?

  • Just 1 140mm intake Fan but 3 exhaust Fans with 2x 140mm? Um ok that will definitly lead to "underpressure" in the case, means that the exhaust fans will suck more air through every rift and hole that is in the case then the intake fan will shove in. In my case I got almost the same thing. If I turn the rpm's of the exhaust on full the air gets sucked through the the mesh near the pci brackets (wich is covered on this case?) and thats not how it should work

  • @dharkbizkit There's very inexpensive ways to seal off the unfiltered openings in the back of the case so it's not really a problem.

  • @Scott97169 For sure.. but is that the way how it should be?^^

  • @dharkbizkit Could always get the optional side panel with 2x 140mm and mount an additional 120mm in the front drive bays with a simple HDD/fan combo.

  • @Scott97169 Which lian-li window will fit on the k62? Mind telling me the model number?

  • @diablolrm90 W-KM2AB

    Look on the official Lancool website, there's other optional windows available for the PC_k62.

  • @Scott97169 know any online store with international shipping which sells it?

  • @diablolrm90 W-KM2AB-8 sold by Performance-Pcs

  • @Scott97169 Thanks for the info

  • can i install 2 x 120mm fans at the top?

  • Such an awesome case.

    Because of this video review, I go out and buy one from IT market.

    Thank you H/Wcanucks.

    

  • Wish they had a full tower.

  • i bought one after reading your review! cool reviews.. keep it up!

  • @sprig9an007 i just read that you have bought it. I am thinking of buying this case. If i buy a 140x280 radiator, could it fit on the top inside the case? Or is there not enough room because of the motherboard?

  • @UpYoursNightmare hi.. i don't know cause' i don't use watercooling system for my rig.. sorry not much of a help..

  • @sprig9an007 oke, thanks for your quick reaction though...

    However, could you discribe how much room there is between the motherboard and the top op the case? about 3 centimeters? or less?

  • Are these fans loud?  It looks easy to change the top fans so I am thinking about putting silent 140's in there

  • Wow that is an awesome case, and the cable clutter is beause its a corsair psu

  • hi can you mount a second dvd drive coz i cant see another slot for it in the bezel,just the top one

    thanks

  • @Jellytotz27 You can remove(push out) that portion of the bezel. Notice that there is 2... 5 1/2 drive bay clips.

  • This or the Sniper Black Edition?

  • @treead1 Best cases on the market, gotta roll dices to choose which.

  • Great review as always but I know plenty of people who water cool with the k62. I plan to myself with mine by mounting it on the back with a rad box from swiftech, something you guys left out. I myself am going to use the swiftech mcr320-drive which has the rad, res, and pump built into one to save myself space, but it is also possible to take out the hard drive cage and use that area for a pump.

    Overall, very nice review though. I love hwc for reviews, you guys always do an excellent job.

  • How you put the motherboard 8 pin through the hole? i got a problem doing so.

  • what about installing that dual radiator undercover top side of case ?

  • @piterkub Unless you have a super thin rad, I don't think it will fit, the cover is pretty much flush with the fans, so it would need to be thinner than a standard 120mm fan and you would have to find some way of mounting the barbs :)

  • @HardwareCanucks and if you have a 2x140 mm radiator and want to mount it inside the case on top on the other side of where the ventilaters are? Would that fit or would that give trouble with the motherboard/cpu/whatever?

  • @HardwareCanucks You couldn't do it like the 600T?

  • @HardwareCanucks and what about using a radbox or similar solution? my swifi H20 Apex Ultima kit came with it and i'ts really a life saver. btw, very nice review :)

  • thanks for the vid mate, this summary really convinced me to go out and buy the case! thanks again!

  • This case looks almost exactly like Lian Li PC-7FN wich also have a window but the Lian Li PC 7FN don´t have a black interior, no fans at the top and is made of aluminum instead of steel.

    But I have heard many complaints about Lian Li and their aluminum cases, the aluminum is very thin, (1mm) easily vibrates becuse of the low weight and aluminum doesn´t isolate noise as good as steel. Wich one should I choose? And I´m not interested in watercooling.

  • By the way, how much does a case like this one cost? I know that the CM Storm Sniper costs about $130. Anyhow, thanks.

  • looks like an awesome case

  • Is there enough room to fit a 2x140mm rad on the TOP, INSIDE of the case? Thanks!

  • I love your review:)

    I like the music too, were can i buy/download it? (Or the name)

    I be happy for answer:)

    ESS

  • Does any of these manufacturer's cases have a slide-out mobo tray? Could I fit a CM V6 GT cpu cooler?

  • @orestesdd Very few manufacturer's still use removable motherboard trays; look for a few cases from Lian-Li or NZXT to include this though. As far as the V6 goes, the K-62 fits similar sized coolers like the NH-D14 (160mm H) with plently of room to spare, so the V6 GT won't be a problem

  • @HardwareCanucks Thanks. However, I am undecided if I should buy this case or the cooler master storm sniper black edition. Do you have any comments about these two cases?

  • what is the maximum number of fans that can it be installed?

  • @xkill3rx There's only space for four fans. One 140mm on the front, two 140mm fans on the top, and one 120mm on the rear.

  • will it fit 5970

  • Water cooling wasn't forgotten... there is nothing stopping you from getting a 2x140 rad, they do exist and have done for years. Forget about being limited to 120, 240 and 360 rads please. You are meant to be a reviewer of hardware, so get up to date.

  • doesnt this include 4pin to molex adapters? because i dont think my mother board has enough 4 pins and 3 pins

    i also use a h50 with a 4pin and a 3pin

  • Willl this case fit a m4n68t-m le and a hd5670?

  • Would you recommend this case over the cm 692 advanced? I'm stuck between the two and I would really like to know since you've reviewed both.

  • Where can I find the version without a side window?

  • Where can I find the version without a side window?

  • Will this case fit a GTX 480 at 10.5"?

  • @steveo7575 Won't be a problem

  • @HardwareCanucks Do u think it is about to fit the 5870 about 11 inch? around 28cm?

  • what music is at the start?

  • As always very professional review/vid. This vid made me take a look at the Lancool side of LL cases. Probably will go with a PC-K60B in my next build; very much like the cable guide for PSU cables - it IS the the "little things like that", which make the Lancool cases appealing..

  • can this fit a gtx 470?

  • What motherboard are you using in this video ? thanks.

  • Does it supports extended psu? like antec1000w modular? Anyone?

  • not much of a Mid tower fan but damn this case is nice :D

    PS: Why can't u guys at least use a black DVD Rom ? x(

  • this or the coolermaster 690 II?

  • @EddieLolz3r i would go with this for looks, but thats a personal thing. go with the 690 II if u care about features
