Lian LI is definitely my go to fans for my rigs, the reverse fans are a game changer when it comes to aesthetics.

Lian Li needs to get their act together with their software. This is ridiculous that you gotta manually download the new version and uninstall the old version. Corsair's Icue is light years ahead in terms of how easy it is to update the firmware and app, all on the app.

This is a great video. And very important. Especially because the SL-Inf and the TL now have different controllers as well, not to mention the LCD AIO is different as well.

Thank you for the great breakdown of the controller and what ports need to be used. I was about to go order a new USB Hub and discovered I dont need it at all.

[moonsable]

Thank you! I have watched so many of your videos and this one finally cleared up all my questions about using Infinity fans on a Kraken AIO.

Good Advice. I recently built a new system with (4) Lian Li SL fans and (3) Lian Li TL LCD fans. They are working great now, but were problematic to get working properly. The main issue that I ran into was that both of the Lian Li controller boxes would not be recognized by the Lian Li software unless they were plugged directly into the motherboard USB fan header (no splitter) or into the 1st USB port in a USB hub. Hopefully this problem has been fixed with the latest firmware update. Keep in mind that the TL fans do not include additional cables to separate the fans into 2 differnt areas of your PC and that you cannot daisy chain TL and SL fans. The only other issue that I encountered was with the triangular rubber pieces that push into the corners of the SL fans began to curl outward slightly with less than 24 hours of use. This is strictly a cosmetic issue, but is annoying on a premium product.

You could also mention that it helps if you go to "Quick/Sync Lighting" and on the top right corner there`s the Export Import tabs so you can save your fan speed settings, light settings etc instead of reapplying them if you had to re-install the software.

One of my issues with L-connect is it causes stuttering in games. I still use it and close it within task manager. I think it is a problem unique to 7800x3d chips. But if you have a better work around, I would love to hear it!

You have a beautiful deep narrator’s voice Mr Prawn. 🍤

[supremeboy]

Thank you so much doing video about this. You wont believe how many including me looking YT videos like that and testings are done with many fans and groups together. Also reverse blade is more important than ever due to wanting mirror or LCD facing correct way.

Also the push pull is what i looked for with these fans and AIO configuration and 95% YT videos never try that.
Thanks to your previous videos i orderd correct amount of Lian Li Uni reverse fans. I would have ordered wrong ones if i didnt see your videos.

[materialsky]

Extremely helpful video. New to all of this and there was a lot of confusion. I found building the PC itself to be easier than configuring the fans lmao

[timothyjones]

Hay I was wondering if there was a way to have the fans change color baised on either fan speed or gpu temperature. I've watched a couple videos and I don't think the lian li L connect has what I'm looking for

[unknownperson]

Hello I have a question since I have the 3 pack of lian li uni fan sl inf 120 and the 2 of the reverse uni fans sl inf but both of them came with different cables can you use the the 3 pack cables on the reverse?

Another quick question since I have aswell the lian li Galahad II lcd-sl infinity can’t I use the same cable of the 3 pack and connect it with the rgb controller?

[brehidk]

how can I connect the rgb for single pack SL Infinity fans to the lian li galahad aio controller because the cable the single pack comes with has the rgb cable for motherboard and not the one the aio controller uses.
EDIT: I found out the cooler comes with the adapter for it if so how many?

[pangeranrio]

NZXT Kraken Elite 360 with Lian Li SL120 Infinity unifan are the most used combo ngl

[jamesdriver]

Thank you so much for your helpful videos. Very clear and easy to follow!

[DarrellRiddle]

Thank you for all these detailed videos!

12:18 - I have the hydraTL and I dont see anything in myFan/Pump Profile

[coolissimo]

Mate so you can add a single fan to the controller hug using a flat connector? Do the flat connector that comes with the 3x pack infinity fans, can be use in a single infinity

[Eden-vmsb]

So if i plug the fans on the radiator to the controller, I do not need the cpu_fan header at all, and just need to adjust the fan speeds in the software? Also the one cable that connects a set of 3 fans to the controller does both the rgb and power?
