HOW TO Lian Li UNIFAN SL120 INFINITY Easy Installation & Setup Guide

[@iKayorei]

This gotta be the best video I've seen for installation of these fans, you take the time to break down all the connections and it really goes a long way.

[@declanleigh2618]

If there was a tutorial like this for every part in my PC, I would be an expert. Thank you for such a clear, comprehensive video.

[@Curios_Cat]

A BIG KUDOS TO YOU! You're the only one who explained the installation perfectly for us newbies.

[@GearSeekers]

Thanks :)

[@moocher9935]

Yep... I was struggling with connections as I'm not great with PC's but after watching this video got it all working with NO issues... Can't thank Gear Seekers enough

[@RobinsBusyWorld]

Truth…I was struggling…

[@ramymounir6946]

The only video on KZbin that explains the wiring

[@chriswegner4915]

ive looked up probably 20 videos and you are the best 100% everyone needs to be this clear and show everything you are awsome!!!!

[@Moto_Rid3r]

nice Tutorial. I got confused on the connecting the usb and the rgb/pwm connector based on Track 7:36. if I go to this route, Do I need to connect the usb and the rgb/pwm cable at the same time if I use the L-connect3 software? This is where I got lost on your video. thanks

[@dylanhunter8965]

@@Moto_Rid3r a response to this would be great I have a similar question. I only have one usb slot on my motherboard and it is occupied. If I plug in the rgb/pwm cable do I need to have the usb cable?

[@JohnnyThunFilms]

your guides are so clutch and production quality is loads better than any other guide i have watched on any lian li products. appreciate the in depth guide thank you for the service!

[@kevin123211]

4:10 Regarding the 2 sata power connectors, there’s a main one and a sub one. The main one should be connected in all circumstances and the sub one should be connected when there are +12 fans OR if they’re often set on white static color.

[@mrlorddoom3948]

That's what I heard also before buying them.

[@blackjack19811]

I have the original SL’s and love the fans but mother of god the L-Connect software is absolute garbage.

[@maricantshoot8657]

facts i just upgraded to these and was looking at how nice the new software is 😭

[@Anna-senpai]

@@maricantshoot8657 what are you talking about? the new software is literal bullshit. garbage. trash. whatever you wanna call it.

[@iHaveTheDocuments]

I'm so glad I dumped the corsair software and fans for the objectively great L connect 3.

[@calling.4.shleepy995]

Better than nzxt or Corsair

[@AstoriaSSC]

Hands Down/Up all around. This is simply the best video EVER !!!! YOu should get triple the click value for it. I saved soooo much time and thjis nailed it. My rig is a hand-me-down I tweaked that included the SL120 . The mb didn't have Argb header so this Lian-Li controller w/ ur video is Nirvana extra!!! Kudos man

[@renyarhoj4154]

Quick question: My case can have up to 20 fans, any single lian li controller can have up to 16 fans with full control. Is it possible / feasible to use two separate lian li controllers or some other solution so that I can use PWM and RGB on all 20 fans?

[@doziertech]

I'm a corsair fan boy but I promised myself for my next build I'm going with Lian li when you have 9 QLs in a 5000D its cool but the Lian's have just a more elegant look to them. Also the cable management is much smother to implement. With Corsair OMG cabling is a nightmare 2 cords per fan 9 QL's and 3 ML's for a push pull at the top so you do the math and don't open my back panel its madness lol. Lian Li hear I come...keep up the good work Seekers.

[@GearSeekers]

Thats why I use Unifans in a lot of our builds now because it saves me time

[@dida3510]

My Corsair 1000D is nightmare with fans...

[@j.a.3138]

@@ronniekregar3482 ICUE is a memory hog and sucks. My old build was all Corsair and ROG. I went with Lian Li this time. Don't regret it one bit

[@Ranger_Dog311]

@@ronniekregar3482 corsair fans are terrible ! i got the new lcd cooler and it comes with their premium fans and they feel cheaply built with a mess of wires ,yes their software is pretty good but the fans and hot spot lighting sucks ! i got 9 v2 unifans and they are the best built fans i've ever seen and they are cheaper then corsairs premium fans ,corsair is living in the dark ages with their outdated mess of wires .

[@tradeka4206]

@@doziertech the one thing Corsair has over lian li is the software. The lian li software is terrible. Love their products, but I wish they had a better interface

[@unknownstuntman3224]

These look pretty sweet actually. I like the simplicity of instillation and the RGB is top tier in my opinion.

[@Mapantz1]

Mine are arriving tomorrow, from Overclockers! Nice video, Nick. An excellent rundown.

[@MJgoated2323]

I had absolutely no clue what to do and now I finished my pc. Thank you

[@Daniel.ÎîîîÎ]

With this fans you can change airflow direction and keep the same face pannel orientation ?

[@Phalaxis83]

Great video fams! Love how it's now a single cable from the fan. Not fully sold on the look but we both know I'll get them eventually 😂

[@moocher9935]

Absolute Legends... Decided to upgrade my fans & was having a few issues but after watching your video... I smashed it... Thank you Thank You Thank You

[@icrystal1231]

God, they're beautiful! Loving the design so far. I'll definitely get some of these when I build my White/Black PC.

[@VLOneWay]

07:09 genoius move to show the whole setup while explaning. very nice!

[@bazzcom2218]

I bought these fans for my son. I got dizzy because they don't run on first setup. Now I have an idea what went wrong. Thanks for this video.😊

[@BigStank5483]

How do you hook up these fans on an AIO??

[@intracate117]

This is the best setup video I've ever seen. Bravo!

[@nazibkhan775]

You have saved me so much time with this video!! Thank you. Can't wait to do the fan upgrade for myself

[@spIette]

I love how you explain all the details so well. Really helpful for decision making.

[@lk5388]

didn't explain fan direction🤣🤣🤣

[@jaimemoreno7713]

Can someone explain the use case for the optional connections? In what scenario would i want to connect those RGB and fan connectors from the controller to the motherboard?

[@RathalosEmperor]

So you can have your motherboard software control the lighting and fan speed. When you power on your pc your settings will be on immediately vs if you don't it will take a few seconds and until you log into windows for your settings to kick in.

[@rodnustortellini4521]

Does the controller work with a Galahad II Trinity SL-INF 360 ARGB AIO as well? If so would you connect the fans into the controller as well?

[@naokmoon1487]

I did make it work pretty simply. From memory I did plug my galahad II trinity PWM (power) directly on motherboard to be able to monitor CPU temp, then for ARGB I did plug into the main 3-pack controller in the SYNC Port (not the same port of the 3-pack cable, but he other to sync with my 3-pack fans). =). I dont think I've used the controller that cames with the Galahad, I think I have throwed it sinces the 3-pack controller is plenty!

[@DannysTechChannel]

Love the RGB puke. GS never disappoints! Especially with the B-Roll

[@nikhilkellore8914]

For the software option, after you change it, does it stay whatever color you make it? Or does it reset the next time you boot up your PC?

[@sbcroix]

Im pretty good at building pc's as I have been doing it for the last 30 years, however these fans were giving me trouble. Thanks for the good explanation

[@Erumachi]

dang LIAN LI new uni fans look legit 👀

[@Rick-m3c]

Using the L connect software can you set individual fan curves for each individually fan?

[@GamingRaptor]

Thank h u so much!! I'm building my first pc and none of the instructions or tutorials were helpful except for this one thx!

[@icylayteno]

so the optional motherboard cord, is it better to plug it into the motherboard? whats the benefits of doing it?

[@dozilla77]

Thank you so much for the video, this is hands down the best demonstration I've seen with these beauties.

[@richardmurphy3401]

Question: The amazon page is not very descriptive, do these fans suck from the face and the reverse blow from the face? Question: I know this video does not address the lian li aio, but it uses the exact same fans, do those suck or blow from the face? Thank you!

[@mprz81]

I like these fans but my motherboard has a 4 pin RGB connector. Is there an adapter I could use ?

[@alanw737]

This video was FANtastic.

[@LetsKrug]

Today i got my sl 120 inf, they are beautiful.

[@soulsmarker]

Dude thank you so much! You helped me with every single thing I needed, and made it so comprehensive and simple 10/10.

[@spiderpig4046]

And do you connect other 3 packs just to the controller?

[@theuselessteammate2097]

I really love that they support older fans with their controller since you can only get the galahad with normal sl120s

[@Chansanity]

This is the kind of guide that others should be doing. Very detailed. Very helpful guide! Thank you!

[@Deadman327]

I think I figured out why the connector is in the middle. Had a rough time trying to mount the sl120's to a rad. Where the connector is on the side and was in the way of the tubes coming from the rad. Was going to do a push/pull configuration but it couldn't be done.

[@GearSeekers]

Yeah I figured as much. Also ran into this problem a few times.

[@maxwellrichter5125]

I’ve plugged everything in and have the rgb working but the fans aren’t spinning

[@amel2517]

can i use this fans without 3 pin connector on motherboard?

[@MrBeeMeR320D]

I guess the TL's are the same for installation and setup?

[@perrydavis115]

Awesome explanations! How can you install 3 Lian Li SL-INF 120 fans in the bottom of a Hyte Y70 case?

[@mysticqro950]

What do the 3 pin ports on the controller do? The ones labeled as Sync 2 and Sync 4? Can you connect RGB led strips into those by converting 5v 3pin to JST 3 pin SM? Would you be able to control the led strip through L-connect?

[@sebastiancalcagno8071]

what if you have no more ports on your motherboard for the usb2.0 headers would i be unable to make it work

[@TPA_JW]

To secure the fans to the case, do you remove the rubber corner pieces to secure to the case mounting plate? I suspect you do, but I want to make sure before I start peeling off the corner fan rubber pieces.

[@shinmopi]

Pretty sure you don't as rubber is here to prevent any vibration.

[@TPA_JW]

@@shinmopi I figured it out. There are inside rubber covers that cover the holes to allow the screws to pass through. Thank you for the reply.

[@simpledanman]

Can I connect the l connect hub to a aRGB hub via the included cable?

[@elsanchetto6972]

Question, if you have the unnecessary cable with the fan connection and RGB connection to the motherboard plugged in can you still control the lighting in the fan speed with L connect or is it only in your motherboard’s software? and if you don’t have that extra cable plugged in can you still think it to the lighting on your motherboard?

[@Jiltix]

How would you connect these with the z73 aio so that the pump has control over the fans?

What's the purpose of the motherboard pass through cable

[@DoomsDay117x]

[@Franki3683]

Not sure if it me but I have brought the controller and 3x Uni Fan Sl-Inf 140mm. The fan connectors have a 1x 4 pin PWM and 1x RGB. Not their new connection which only compatible with the controller...

[@miltona891]

If you hook them to a rad for the cpu I’m assuming you going to have to plug it in to the cpu header on the mother board to get the right speeds but then the lights won’t sync

[@SK_30241]

I’m confused about the “optional” connectors. Why are they optional and do they have a purpose important enough to just go ahead and plug it in?

[@AssasinZac]

I want to buy 10 of them should i buy 3 x3 package and a single or 1 x3 and 7 single?

[@glowwurm9365]

Dumb question, was gonna run 6 fans in the following config 3.2.1 in a fractal north case. Now am i right in thinking the controller could hand three different cables? Or would i end up needing two controllers?

[@DanEncore]

great video! Had some questions about how these things connect and your video had all the information in it.

[@TexasBulldog74]

What do you mean the PWM plug and 5v ARGB cable is optional? Does it need to be connected? Isn't it getting the control from the USB 2.0? Thanks

[@fussnote1758]

Hi, thx for the informational vid. For me, your impression of the niveau of noise, the fans emit, would be helpful, because the "normal" sls, that I have in my case, can be heard clearly in a silent room, event at "quiet"-mode...

[@GTR87xD]

I have just bought the triple pack and it's comes with a controller. I also bought the aio version but that comes with a different controller. But the single fans come with a lead that connects to the aio controller...but the triple pack leads are different. Could I use 1 of the reverse fans lead and connect my triple pack so it connects with the aio controller?

[@johnfraser6013]

They do have them. I just ordered 6 single fans (white) from Amazon. They appear to have shipped from Canada. They are called “reverse blade” fans, and allow the the inf mirror to be on the other side of the fan. Warning: they were very expensive …

On your video it says locate a PMW header but it doesn’t say that anywhere on my motherboard or the instruction sheet

[@GearSeekers]

PWM header is a fan header. The point of this video is to be the instructions

[@rodhester2166]

wonder when they will have one cable from fans to mobo to control the programing and power.. that would take the mobo manufacturers to be on board also..

[@StevenCreyelman]

Quick question. (Or at least I hope it's a quick.) Can I use these to replace the fans on my radiator? I can be me, but I don't see any connection I can plug into the 4 pin cpu-fan-header on my MB. Thank you for reacting to what might be a silly question.
