I have found Demciflex for Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic XL ROG Certified.
Full set cost me almost $150. Is it worth it?
Any cheaper alternative?

1) Use an Open Air Casing
2) Use Leaf Blower to Blow it for 30 seconds monthly
:s12:

Right now I am using an open case. Do not like.
I don't have Leaf Blower nor do I want to clean it monthly. Maybe annually.

I have but didn't buy the full set. I bought the back cover which I find useful cause it wasn't provided out of the box. The bottom I was hoping will work better than stock cause the stock one kept dropping due to the lack of grip from the raised fan screws but tbh it was the same.

Honestly I don't find demciflex much better than the stock ones so its unnecessary but can consider getting the back one though.

Thank you for your valuable share of knowledge. Can't find it on online website/amazon though. Shipping from the original website will be costly.

the stock filters not good ah?

Not fully covered. Lian Li should provide the full set + spare set.

Before I went open air and leaf blower, I use the demciflex filters,
but they catch a lot of dust and cleaning them monthly takes alot of time.
That's why I upgrade to open air casing and cleaning by leaf blower.

Catch a lot of dust is good. Takes a lot of time?
I thought just unscrew, take off the filters, wash it, dry it, put it back.

There are risk of using Leaf Blower as well. Like too strong, will damage PC components, too weak, 10~20% of the dust will remain stuck. Also the cost of purchase, and space to store such equipment.

How much time you think you need?
Imagine having to do it monthly.

Didn't know that. But aircon filter holes are bigger right? My aircon blower dusty like heck while the filter is relatively clean.

Then u should really clean up your filter diligently

Monthly clean up ... That will improve your PC lifespan

Don't buy those accessories... Use your mother stocking or coffee filter or whatever u can find free


Frankly those components are soldered on.. if it can fly off....Your board also will break very soon without blowing

Possible, I blew off the fan blades of an old graphics card when blowing off the dust. I guess the pressure too for industrial compressed air.

My 2 fans from GPU stopped working by themselves. Haven't clean them for 3+ years.
Can imagine if I use strong blower, probably fly off within 1~2 years of usage.
Anyway I will prefer to stick to using dust filter, compared to any form of blower, hence the thread title.

Unless those with blower, don't mind me borrowing it. Lol.
