How to connect and setup Lian Li SL120 V2 fans (including on an all-in-one cooler)

In this video I'm showing how to install the Lian Li SL120 V2 fans, including how to set them up on a radiator, where to connect them to your motherboard and more. I'm showing how to install these Lian Li fans with the wiring of individual fans and the logic of both single and triple packs, so that you can combine a whole lot of fans in your favourite case.

Lian Li SL120 V2 fans ( • Lian Li SL120 V2 fans ... )
These fans offer improvements on the aesthetic, functionality, and performance from the original UNI FAN. These improvements include:
New and improved daisy chaining (connect 3 and 3 fans together)
Thicker design for improved airflow
Enhanced airflow and static pressure
Straighter edge design for improved lighting
Smaller gap between the fans
Enhanced specs include:
Airflow - 64.5 CFM
Static Pressure - 2.59 mmH2O
Noise - 29.2 dBA
Speed - 0 RPM mode and 250-2000 RPM
"With the UNI FAN SL V2, users have the ability to bridge two clusters of fans to create a 3+3 daisy-chained cluster. These 6 fans can then be connected to a single port on the SL V2 UNI HUB controller. The new daisy-chaining solution reduces the number of cables needing to be managed at the back of the case and enables new lighting effects which can be continuous between the two bridged clusters. Please note that while each port of the SL V2 UNI HUB can support a 3+3 cluster, the maximum number of fans supported by the controller is 16. "
The fans now have 4 new effects: RENDER, TUNNEL, VOICE, and Groove.
Also as you'll see at the end there are various different synced lighting effects that you can pair with the Strimers (for example).
Other fan specs include:
Dimensions 120x120x28mm
Material PBT / PC / Aluminum
Rated Voltage 12V (FAN) / 5V (LED)
Fan Speed 0, 250 - 2000 RPM
Air Pressure 2.59 mmH2O (Maximum)
Airflow 64.5 CFM (Maximum)
Acoustic Noise 29.2 dBA (Maximum)
Locked Current 0 (Automatic Protection)
Bearing Type Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB)

Mr Prawn I was wondering if you could help me. I am currently trying to attach the galahad radiator to the bracket of the lian li O11D Evo and the screws were really hard to screw in when attaching the fans, but seem impossibly bigger than the holes when attaching the bracket to the radiator with the screws provided. Is this normal and will I need to really.force those screws in or has something gone wrong with the manufacture of my product? Feels like I'm breaking it if I try to force them in and I'm not even sure they'll go in, but every video I see they just screw them in like normal screws and I'm losing my mind 😅.

[@Joe-ts4xj]

So sorry if you mentioned it in the video, but is the hub ok with fans of different sizes? Ill have mostly 140s with two 120s. Thanks for all the great lian li-specific content! Fwiw, your videos pushed me over the edge in buying their case and fans. Not because it was an "ad", but because i knew there were such detailed videos available to explain how they work.

Very well explained thank you. Glad I found this channel before I'm gonna start my first build I'm thinking about getting these fans the infinity versions. I heard they can get quiet loud though which is a big no for me. The other option I hear is good is the Arctic p12's but for airflow and minimal acoustics but wouldn't I have to get a butt load of controllers for 10 fans? :/ Decisions decisions.

I would not call the Infinity fans loud. In fact in my experience all Lian Li fans are quieter than other I've used.

[@Qu4dav]

Thank you!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

You're welcome!

[@EagleRiverElectronics]

One important note regarding connecting the Lian Li connector the the breakout connection on the NZXT Kraken (at approx 18:50): You do not want to connect to the last connection in the daisy chain (as you did), you instead want to connect to the first one. If you look at the breakout connection on the NZXT Kraken, only the first of the three has all four pins. The tach pin is missing from the other two headers. If you hook up the connection as shown in this video, your Kraken controller will never get an accurate report on the speed of the fans. It is set to automatically assume all 3 fans are the same and have the same (or close enough) tach readings, but without that first fan plugged into the first plug with the tach pin you will get improper fan speeds that can cause heat transfer issues or even potential fan damage from spinning beyond their rated RPM.

@justincastle7276 I am planning to keep the 3 fans from NZXT and 3 from Lian li on that rad. Can I connect the fan speed controller to the CPU fan header in the montherboard ? So for Lian li fans, rgb goes to hub and power connection to CPU fan header on montherboard. For NZXT fans, the rgb goes to montherboard header and the power as well to Optional CPU fan header on montherboard.

@@_robyn_ did you find a answer for this I plan on doing the same …

[@_robyn_]

@@ADraised Yes I have already built the system. Initially I connected the Lian li fans RGB to Hub and Power to Montherboard. That allowed montherboard (Asus) software to control the Lian li fans. Although Asus software rarely bother to spin up the Lian li fans so I connected them back to Hub. So both Rgb and power goes to the hub. I control them with the L-Connect and keep them in quiet profile. As for the NZXT fans, you can connect them on the connectors provided on the pump unit and control them with NZXT Cam. Again I have kept them in quiet profile. Temps on 13900k while gaming stays in 50-65*C range while keeping the system quiet.

yep that is exactly what i did and spun 2 fans out before realising the cause :)

This is a great explanation! I’m actually gonna do the same thing however I’m going to use a push pull configuration on the top, I was wondering do I just attach the second set of three fans to the second splitter for the pump power or I think it’s called a fan control? Also on a previous video you recommended using a XSPC Radiator Fan screw 30mm, would this work for the top of the case? (Because you utilise it for the side of the case)

[@johnnguyen1374]

Great video! The 3 pack does not come with a cable with 2 connections on the end of it to connect to theIs there anyway to connect the 3pack of uni fans to be controlled by the AIO pump if you never got the one pack?

[@canucktheory3271]

Loved the video. The only problem I'm having is that I've swapped my AIO fans for the SL-INF 120 fans but the rgb connector doesn't fit in the sync portion of the controller. I'm trying to come up with a solution.

[@Markus_BW]

Thanks for explaining it. Very frustrating is that there are no Reverse Blade Tripple Pack...

[@allgamestotal6773]

if you buy a Lian li AIO Galahad, do you still need to follow this rad configs here shown in the video? thanks heaps. you are the best. a great teacher.

[@rudymaldonado667]

This video is underrated as @#$!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks

[@iamFreddyP_]

Thank you for this video! One question, does the direction or set up matter for RGB direction lighting? Can the software set it up so that the direction is consistent and does not skip around like the older SL fans?

[@Robin2win14]

Thank god for this video. Your soothing voice actually helped me a lot and prevented me from ripping out my hair. Just one question. I am doing the setup with the triple pack Lian LI SL120V2 fans and the NZXT Kraken Z73 AIO. I do not have the two pronged cable that connects with the SL120V2 fan and on the other end to RGB and PWM. So I need to purchase a single SL120V2 fan in order to do this? Lol.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

You don't necessarily have to. You could just plug them into the control box still. But speed won't be determined by the motherboard. It'll work still.

[@Robin2win14]

@@TheProvokedPrawn Last quick quick question. Fans will then be controlled by the hub, ok. Then the PUMP will be controlled by the 3 pin cable that plugs into the MB? ILY ❤️

[@notmenowhere]

Thanks for the video. Super informative. If I have an AIO GPU with radiator, after plugging in the rgb into sync slot, where do I plug the fan control? Thanks in advance

Thanks.

[@tekkzu7496]

Good Video. 😇

[@bernieanderson2045]

Thank you! I have been slowly putting together my build and am doing this exact set up with the Evo and the infinity fans. I was curious about how to go about the AIO fans since I picked up the X73 (don't care for the Lcd) but thinking the Lian li fans would be an upgrade, so this is incredibly helpful. I like the idea of going full SL120's to have the single control box but makes sense to have the AIO control the set of fans attached. Do you think it would be wise for me to keep the nzxt fans as well and set up a push/pull configuration (exhausting top)? Also getting 13900 so I know it will run hot. Thanks again for the great videos.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Probably not because they will run are different speeds with different airflow capabilities. It works but it's not ideal

[@Alex335i]

…and this was already tested by Jay2C and had not a single degree impact

[@zooromain]

except the V2 fans dont come with that V2 connector into the two seperate plug ins for the AIO? You have to buy a single fan to get that cable or what?
