The new internal layout has the motherboard on top of the power supply unit, which allows for easier access to the motherboard as well as more room above, thus larger CPU coolers can be used. The power supply unit at the button of the case is cooled with fresh cool air directly from the outside of the case, instead of pre-heated air from within. This will bring down the core temperatures and extend the lifespan of the PSU significantly.

The PC-8FI is a Mid-tower case, which is ideal for the latest graphics cards in combination with the best thermal dynamics. All the internal installation can be done without tools, and is easily adjustable to optimize your hardware setup. Especially in the advent of adding in new graphics cards, equipped with 8 PCI slots, can hold three or more graphics cards, supports CrossfireX™ and 3-way SLI.

The hardware installation with PC-8FI is very easy and simple. The front panel is detachable and they can be removed without tools.

To install hardware require no tools, all new tool-less design, user can easily and quickly upgrade the hardware.

Silent Performance

Lian Li uses the best “Made in Taiwan” high quality aluminum panel for all Lian Li chassis. The solid main chassis was folded with 1.5mm thick aluminum sheeting to make a more sturdy structure which has less vibration. The removable front panel is joined with specialized plastic kits that prevent the metal parts from touching each other, ultimately reducing noise created by fans and HDD vibration.

The new 5.25" bay tool-less mounting incorporates a mounting bar equipped with rubber padding. After closing the mounting bar, the rubber pad pushes and holds the 5.25" device in position to both secure and absorb vibration from the device.

Lian Li designers spent months to upgrade Lian Li’s HDD cage; the new HDD cage using special Thumb Screws with rubber suspension. no tool required, simply secure the anti-vibration rubber ring to the HDD, and slide the HDD into the cage and there is a gate to secure the HDDs

The aluminum PCI tool-less mounting module is equipped with a rubber pad which can hold the graphics card firmly while closing the gap found in the PCI bracket and PCI slot to reduce noise from escaping air and furthermore reduce vibrations.

The Power Supply has rubber pads for both insulation and support. The mounting clip is also aligned with rubber to reduce vibrations but also and also secure the PSU without scratching the painted surface.

Thermal Solution

The PC-8FI is equipped with large cooling fans, with low RPM, which still provide enough air flow to cool down the hardware adequately. The front two 120mm intakes Blue LED fan runs at 1200RPM.

The rear 120mm exhaust fan just next to the CPU, it can remove the hot air out fast and silently.

There are vents on the PCI slots, provids extra cooling to graphics card.

The power supply unit is at the bottom of the case. It can draw in cold air directly through the vent below the power supply unit. This cooler, fresh air will keep your PSU components more cool and stable and thus extend the PSU lifecycle.

PC-8FI supports liquid cooling system, the two holes at the rear of the case allows water tubes to pass through, and the rubber cover can protect the tubes away from cutting.

There is a special quadrate opening of motherboard tray, user can easily switch the cpu's radiator without remove motherboard.
