Lian Li Lancool 216 Mid-Tower Airflow Case-3 PWM Fans-Black-LANCOOL 216-X

I bought the Lian Li Lancool 216 (non-RGB version) for a new gaming PC build, and I’m extremely happy with it. The minimalist look is perfect if you prefer a clean setup without flashy lighting. The two large 160mm front fans and the 140mm rear fan provide outstanding airflow while staying surprisingly quiet. Building inside the case was very easy thanks to the spacious interior and excellent cable management options. There’s plenty of room for large GPUs and CPU coolers, and the removable panels make installation hassle-free. The build quality feels premium, and the airflow keeps my components running cool even during long gaming sessions. If you want a high-quality case focused on performance rather than RGB effects, the Lancool 216 is an excellent choice and offers fantastic value for the price. Highly recommended!

I brought this case as a replacement for a Corsair 200R case that I had built my first PC in. This is a well thought out case, easy to build in, stock fans are very quiet at idle, and for my air focused build, on par with the same build in a Fractal Torrent XL as far as thermals go (actually better by a few degrees). Gamers Nexus is 100% spot on as far as thermals go. The good: Easy to build in. Descent cable management. Front, sides, window are all easy to open/access and secure with thumb screws (except front which is snap fit). Included PWM 160mm front fans are quiet and move air well thru the case, same with the rear 140 PWM. Fans don't feel cheap. Completely stock config this case is worthy. No real need to add any additional fans, unless you want to add a lower fan (front position) for your GPU or try other configs. I went with the default fan config as it's just working, well, really well. 32deg c at idle. Case looks nicer then I expected. It's a dark case, no power LED. It has a reset switch which is nice. Combo headphone/mic jack feels solid, no issues with either headphones or headset functionality or insert (unlike the Torrent). Window looks good and feels solid, although I generally avoid presentation cases in general, so this is a big departure for me. I like the look. The case has no other LEDs to tell if it's on (it's that quiet). Looks nice as a presentation case. The Meh: The MB "air cooling mode" config standoffs leave an awkward GPU placement. Recommend using the standard position. Again Gamers Nexus spot on on this. The PSU shroud has removable plates to add fans, install SSDs, etc. The screw holes are small, so removing them is required to add fans, and they must be installed on top, not below the shroud. I am sure one could add some long screws and bolts, but the kit does not include hardware to do this, at least with standard size fan screw patterns. Lian Li fans may get you around this, but I am a dedicated Noctua guy. No biggie. I may look more into a below shroud fan position mod and update the review. The anti-sag bracket uses MB standoffs to support the bracket fyi. Note that the standard 216 case does NOT have a fan hub, but is the same price, yet has PWM front 160mm fans instead of the ARGB fans on the RGB version. Note that the rear GPU 120mm fan cage is kinda weird, sticks out, and feels like an afterthought. Best guess is it is included for folks who do not like the PSU shroud top mounted fan look. Who knows. Overall I like the case. The thermals are excellent with my build, better or on par with the Torrent XL at a much smaller footprint, price, and noticeably quieter/near silent at idle. Was a breeze to build in, plenty of space to navigate. Good manual available online and included screw accessory box is a nice perk. Looks great and feels premium. Unsure about fan compatibility if the front 160mm fans need replacement, as Lian Li is kinda known for proprietary fans, but once you go over 140mm, this is an issue with most manufacturers. Would build in a 216 again for sure. Footprint, thermals, looks, and ease of install is spot on. Hats off to Lian Li for this model.

I have built many systems over the years but at the moment the Lancool 216 is my go to choice. Solid construction, wonderful air flow, roomy that allows some customization; Paired this with an ATX size Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX and a Ryzen 7600X cpu with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black heatsink. Well worth the money.

The case is great. Well designed, roomy and good cable management, while still maintaining fairly compact dimensions. The removable top is a big plus for installing a radiator. The fans are quiet and there are no rattles. I would have given it 5 stars but a few of the PCI expansion slot screws were overtightened at the factory and ended up being stripped. It took quite a bit of work to get them out. I would have returned it for a replacement but, by the time I discovered it, I had too much time invested in the build.

This case is large, weighs about 25 lbs. It’s extremely well made and the panels come off easily and quickly. I haven’t seen another case accommodate all the various components without making contact with each other. I have a liquid cooler that was a little more than 3 inches thick and it barely makes contact on the ddr4 memory on my msi B660m motherboard. My install went very smooth largely in part to the quality of this case. The fans supplied are large and cools my machine excellent - running an overclocked i5 12400f cpu

I'm surprised whenever I buy a mid-tower case how much bigger it is than I anticipated. But it's so nice to build in a big box; there's so much room. And this Lancool 216 is a pleasure to build in. It's so nicely and conveniently designed. And it has great, cool airflow! I stuck this in an Ikea desk (see picture) and I've had no heating issues (with an intel i7-12700k and RTX 4060). I did have to take the front door off for a couple reasons, and the fan noise is audible, but neither of those things bother me. Great case. Highly recommend. Would buy again.

One of the few cases i've built in that was very easy to cable manage. Bought this because of the dedicated GPU fan location. I had noticed my aging 7900xt was getting too hot in the old case so I bought this to give it a try and the temps have dropped by at least 10 degrees with the noctua fans i'm using. The pre installed front and rear fans a very quiet and move a decent amount of air around. The case is very sturdy when moving around and looks great if your not a fan of those fish tank cases. The included screw case was a nice touch. I'll consider Lian Li for my next project.

Case per tutti, predisposto per montare qualsiasi componente; modulare in tutte le sue parti; predisposto per il montaggio gpu verticale; compreso kit supporto gpu in orizzontale. Perfetto in ogni dettaglio, ingegnerizzato alla perfezione, finiture impeccabili! Per poco più di 100€ compratelo subito!!

Exccelente

Muy buena caja, con muy buen cable management. Le faltaría un filtro anti polvo superior y otro frontal (que es opcional y se vende aparte) para ser perfecta. Por este precio, me parece la mejor caja que he visto hasta la fecha. Importante leerse bien las instrucciones, que no son todo lo claras que deberían, para entender cómo se desmontan las tapas y otras partes.

Very good case ,I got it with discount. Case have plenty of room (any RTX 40 series) will fit. Also it's a transformer case you can install AO cooling or standard Fan for CPU. It includes bunch of screws, and other parts(covers, extra mount for GPU fan, zips etc). By the temperature, my i7 14700 drops 5-10° ,. compare to the old case. It includes 160mm *2 fans Nd 140mm *1 fan. You can install extra 5 fans if needed )) One minus is ,the aluminum is very thin. U can bend some part if you are not careful. Highly recommended,price is great. And it's heavy )))))

كيس بي سي ممتاز يعتبر كبير نسبه للاكياس الاخرى مناسب لتطوير القطع فيه مساحه تسمح لك باضافه مبرد معالج اكبر او كرت شاشه 👍🏻
