The LianLi ecosystem inside the case is really flourishing. My current build is ROG GPU and Mobo, everything else LL. Can't wait for LL to get into RAM and other components, best lighting solutions out there. Thanks for the video!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

That'd be crazy

[@larrycampbell6133]

I appreciate the thoroughness of your videos. I recently did a build and debated heavily between the Corsair iCUE link fans and these Lian LANs because I wanted to get rid of the hundreds of cables LoL I wound up going with the Corsair fans, mainly because they had higher CFM ( I got the RX series fans, while their RGB isn’t spectacular, I wanted the airflow performance); plus my AIO and Case were Corsair - so why not stick with one brand while I could. I love the look of the Lian Li fans, particularly with that LCD, seen some really great aesthetic builds! I’m happy with the Corsair, but I still appreciate seeing the various types of builds and thorough reviews that you do

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

@@larrycampbell6133 and I really appreciate the comment. iCue Link is excellent. I personally prefer the aesthetic of Lian Li's fans but they're both great for different reasons

[@jnthn.x]

Same here. Struggling which brand to choose. I want corsair for their high CFM and but on the other hand Lian Li offers reverse blade and now this wireless fan.

[@larrycampbell6133]

@@jnthn.x it’s great to have options, but making a decision can sometimes be overwhelming LOL! I really only wound up going Corsair because I already have a ton of Corsair products, might as well have the fans too! But the really high CFM has been a game changer for my build - the RX series is fantastic, even if their RGB is like a B- on the report card, the airflow and cooling temps more than make up for that in my eyes

[@defaul_tm4886]

this video saved me some money and a headache, thanks for showing how they work and get plugged in. I think i'll stick with my infinity mirror TL 120's until they work out how to not have multiple motherboard plug ins

[@Doc_Hollladay]

Man Lian Li you have a lot of wires for wireless lol. Thanks for the video!!!😊

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

You’re welcome 😊

[@gunslingorgunslingorsadf8150]

@Doc_Hollladay it is crazy, insaine really... I mean, the entire point of wifi is to eliminate the usb connections and use a normal psu instead of mobo power. It appears they did that, then removed pwm as well, which pissed me off and fan power and then realized, "Oh crap we need power." Let's add the usb cable back for some reason... how is it an improvement to prefer power from a usb instead of fan, when psu is literally there for the purpose... why drive more power thru the mobo when you do not have to, because your not using signal headers. Lian Li has proven themselves incapable of not regressing hardware and software, this is but one example of cyclical break fix approach... release at all costs basically, not actually taking care of the customer. They have proven themselves to be untrustworthy in software development. Another example, they just update l connect for these new fans, they broken older ones. Lian li fans are knightmares due to software incompetence and over release of every possible permutation of hardware instead of 1 good long lasting product... they want us to buy every little half finished experiment they complete every 6 months, instead of anticipating what we want and providing it. There is no evolution at lian li, only lateral moves, break fix, and abandonment when the costs of maintenance get to high for their marketing lead engineering processes and results. It's very sad to watch, a company that made such great cases. I'll be returning 15 tl lcd screens today... wasted 2 weeks screwing with them.

I’ll just order some SL Infinity 120 fans instead, and save myself a bunch of cash in the process. Thanks!

I have really appreciated your videos on all these different setups, thanks. I think I'm going to go with SL wireless 140s in a Lian Li 011DE XL. 3 then 6 on top for 420 CPU rad(just going to rely on the fans that come with the rad for a little while.) Then 3 on the side, 3 on the bottom and 2 at the back. I've watched so many videos I've lost my clarity on recommendation for which should intake and which should exhaust so i can pick the normal or reverse blade. Thanks if you have the time.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

This is my preference - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYeoiZdjjNVrfLs Intake on the bottom and side, exhaust top and rear. I find side mounted intake rad with push pull is best for cooling the CPU and case.

[@ismaelkfernandez]

I still can see same amount of wires from the previous UNI FAN SL-INF. and fan borders looking cheap plastic .. I honestly dont like these new ones .. THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO Provoked Prawn! :D

[@999kostuch]

I've invested in Lian Li ecosystem recently but I regret it and I'm getting rid of it. Apart from O11 Dynamic Evo RGB case, everything else is just awful. Software to control it is probably one of the worst I ever encountered. Hydroshift AIO is probably has one of the loudest AIO pumps even on lowest RPM and the temperatures are worse than some of the slimmer AIO's I had and that's with high quality thermal paste and good mounting. My idle on 13700k was around 37 C, I had 29 C on Deepcool LT 720. Same fan speed set for both. The LCD screen does not work half of the time no matter the updates they roll out to L connect. I had to replace LT LCD fans several times as they arrived dead in the box and those that were not broken, the fluid dynamic bearing on those fans are actually audible even on the low RPM. Design wise, great and great ideas but their quality control is non existent.

[@Mister_JJS]

Hugely informative video. Preparing for an early 2025 build, this is helpful. I spend 50x more time planning and contemplating the right parts than I do building. It's likely going to be an AMD 9000 X3D build with a Nvidia 5080 or 5090. So, these component build breakdowns are great for preparation. Alas, I await CES January 2025 for all the things

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Great to hear!

[@gunslingorgunslingorsadf8150]

@Mister_JJS be careful, I'll never buy a lian li fan again after the TL LCD continuous stream of debacle. Strongly advise staying away from any lian li LCD and seeking guarantees that, if for example your wifi router were to go out, or if you boot to cli instead of windows, or anything like that... that your computer will not overheat since the fan control software is now so entirely dependant on ultra high level protocols like usb and wifi (instead of pwm firmware, low level).

[@gunslingorgunslingorsadf8150]

@Mister_JJS keep in mind, each lian li fan can consume up to 3% of your CPU on a 9950x. AND LCD fan is gauranteed to... a wifi lcd fan, I'm just going to assume 30% OF MY CPU will be used since they don't tell me.

[@Mister_JJS]

One point: you talk about Lian Li L connect 3 software but I was wondering if this would also work with SignalRGB, which is the software I use now. The advantage of SignalRGB is that I can sync my entire setup (keyboard, mouse, fans, motherboard, even external components such as LED strips on my desk) in one smooth way. I would love to see you do a video on SignalRGB and how it works with these fans.

[@JajaBall-g2k]

As always, nice clear guide! I have a few questions though. Hoping you can answer before I buy these fans for my upcoming build. 1. Does the LConnect software control the fan speed too? You said we can plug the fans directly to the PSU via Sata, so that means the motherboard has no control over them. 2. Will this work with SignalRGB or other software for syncing? I don't want my Rams to get left out. 3. Lastly, if I buy 3 sets of 3-packs, I will get 3 controllers but I only need one right?

[@acethemechanic2653]

Hmm I’d say if these new fans aren’t on par performance per noise the Corsair link set up might still be cleaner, when iCue works.

[@nighteyeswolf]

Concept: A+, Execution: D The amount of cable mess you have to contend with seems to be the same if not made worse by lack of hub. This time though you get the added benefit of a gigantic suppository sized dongle sticking out from the back of your computer like an engorged mutant tick lol. Again, the concept is neat, but really....it ends up looking to be more of a headache if you're mixing and matching LCD and non LCD fans....

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

The controller is the same for both fans, so you only need one. You can wire it internally (I showed that), so that's ok. It's actually less crazy cable wise, than previous ones. unless you tried to mix in other fans of course.

[@MrDosArcade]

The controller can be installed internally with the included adapter cable, so it's still hidden away. The single wire from the non-LCD fans to "somewhere else", which previously was a thicker cable with a 7-pin proprietary plug, is now a standard PWM connector with a thinner overall wire. And you can either connect these PWM cables to your motherboard headers, or to a single SATA connector that has three PWM ports, included with the controller. For LCD fans, yes, at first glance, it seems there are more wires involved, because you have a separate power and USB data cable for each group of fans... it's a tradeoff, to add the ability to be able to mix and match LCD with non-LCD fans, which has been a feature request since the TL LCD fans were first released.

[@NocTH336]

Guy didn't watch the video

[@Terran343]

Call me crazy but, wireless means no cables. I think i missed the point of this new product. When i saw the USB dongle i was hoping we are going to control the fans with that only, thinking fans were bluetooth (or something like that) connected to the dongle while using batteries as power. PS: i love your unboxing knife

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

wireless means the transmitter is wireless

[@Rave.-]

@@TheProvokedPrawn which is, sadly, pretty pointless.

[@MrDosArcade]

@@Rave.- No more pointless than WiFi is wireless, by communicating with your router without connecting a network cable to your PC (and most people don't consider WiFi to be wireless). At the end of the day, one of the points of this controller is to start unifying multiple devices to a single controller (e.g. both SL V3 fans and V3 Strimer cables), instead of having a separate controller for each device.

[@Rave.-]

@MrDosArcade I understand the intent. For now though, I'll have to echo another comment's sentiment: A+ idea, D execution

[@gunslingorgunslingorsadf8150]

It is 95% bad and older models are better. Biggest issues: Lian li fans are dependant on windows/lconnect/usb, now wifi... 4 added points of failure and integration complexity not oresent in non proprietary standards. Each lcd will consume 3% cpu on a 9950x in my experience... 15 fans, 50% on my cpu was used... I have to assume wifi would be more. Why design a wifi dongle for this, when my mobo already has wifi? Why use wifi, for 2 foot comes, that's what blue tooth is for? How will having 15 wifi transmitters 6 inches from my audio circuits affect the mobo? Why are they getting power from a usb port still.... why was does it jeep changing with every product... a fundamental principle of wifi design, if your already running a big power cable to the data source, you don't need wifi, just run a tiny single cable too, wifi becomes added costs and points of failure. Why did they break the TL LCDs when they release to support wifi, how much regression and missing QAQC can we expected with the added point of failure, wifi... why the hell do I need a dongle, and why not create a real daisy chained power bus from the psu directly... wifi and power designs should be good, or they should use or extend a standard, not random walk over every possibility guaranteeing incompatibility across everything. Had to return my TL LCDs, had hopes for the wifi line, not impressed... TL without lcds, functionally should be more adequate.

[@chrisrojeski5722]

If using a set of SL wireless LCD 120mm fans with, say, two sets of SL140v2 fans(since you want them to look the same, and Lian Li hasnt released a 140mm version yet), how would that wire up to the motherboard? I'm assuming SL wireless hub and possibly the standard SL hub for the non-wireless fans, but does that cause any issue in L-Connect, or with management? Would it be better to plug the non-wireless fans directly into the mobo or a hub?

[@diogopadrao4118]

I always like to see new things, it is a good option but not sold on these. Still more interested in Zero cable format. Trying to talk to Asus to add the 600 power port of the btf Mobos to all motherboards and not only the BTF ones.

[@HoLDoN4Sec]

for fans i found icue link to probably be the cleanest and most cable clutter less solution right now in the market. lian li always LOVES complicating their products

[@RAMBOLOGY]

The amount of fan headers that are unused on my motherboard, i can see standard fans working out but once you start adding groups of rgb lcd fans then this honestly just starts falling apart especially when motherboards have like 2 usb headers at a time and even more so if the standard fans aren't getting enough power. An extra investment will have to be to buy extra usb headers to compensate for those lcd fans.

[@astroeclipse5392]

I am feeling a hard pass for these fans, I initially considered this as an option to clean my cables and neaten things up because I have in total 10 Lian Li LCD fans with 2 its controllers + the corsair hub controller and because of this I have frequent issues where the LCD's fan RPM stat is bugged out and sticks to 0RPM(fans still spin though). I am assuming this is because too many USBs and the PC is getting somehow "confused". But it looks like this wireless fans have the same number of cables connected to the original LCD fans so I don't see much difference in terms of using less cables and being tidy.

[@pistol27pete]

I’ve also invested a lot in Lian Li fans and AIO. I have two pretty much new AIOs the Galahad LCD II taken out of the system because their horrible software had terrible memory leaks with it. The LConnect software is so bad it causes major stuttering in games. I also had to have the pump header replaced by LL bc it started flickering like a strobe light. Have spent so much money on their fans - which I now connect directly to a non Lian li hub which plugs into Mobo and controlled by Signal RGB. My PC had 10 AL120v2 as well The biggest problem is that they don’t care or don’t do anything about it. They sell the expensive products that are slick with barely any support. I would steer well clear of them

How much cpu % does an lcd fan use?

[@gabiballetje]

How many fans can you control with one of those things though ? I mean, i will need to control 11. 3 bottom, 3 front, 3 top, 2 back. Maybe even one more. Frankly, having them powered by a SATA plug and daisy chain them just for power but control them wirelessly would be awesome. No cables visible anywhere. Though that might not be a problem if you go "back connect", you will still need to route FAR LESS cables. Using several USB headers might be a problem, though there are a bunch of splitters for those to find, use one header, attach more to those, but, will that work. If you need to draw too much data for one, which i don't expect to be the case, might ruin your plans, or if it doesn't recognise them all. We really need more info on this. Guessing these will be pricey.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

You can control upto 8 channels (I.e. groups of devices) with as many as four fans per group. They said it will be 10 channels in future. So the number isn't a problem. Usb can be fixed with a hub, as I showed and used.

[@gabiballetje]

@@TheProvokedPrawn Yeah, wasn't really concerned for the hub, the works with most things, if it doesn't it's usually because of the hardware and or software and how that was designed, not because of what the header can handle data wise. And later in the video i did indeed see it could handle quite a bit, so that is indeed very cool.

i don't see the point in even calling this wireless if it uses more wires than their competitor's wired option lol Lian-Li's uni fans have always been a mixed bag when it came to "simplifying" things. i think their fans are better than Corsair for the most part, but their execution is just piss poor when it comes to avoiding cable clutter. also their LCD fans are pretty pointless tbh, why would to need to put an LCD on a cooling fan? this honestly has no practical use whatsoever and its just for bragging rights at this point. Corsair really nailed it with their icue link system, their pricing is just a bit steep and their fan portfolio is just kinda weird, you would expect the QX fans to be the best performing ones being the top of their lineup, but it is the RX fans which are at the bottom of their lineup that are actually their best fans in terms of performance lol

Ive just bought all the icue link system and i can safely say unless your spending big bucks and using the QX version fans (£125 for x3 but worse than rx120s) the rest of the icue link fans are kinda crappy RGB (eg. rx120) for the money, the lian li sl-inf are soo much better for value and also look better and perform as good...just a shame theres a few more wires... Im kind of tempted to send all this icue link stuff back and go with lian li sl-infinity 120 instead as these rx120s Purley for looks 😅

@@BlazedReefer when i reconfigured my case with new fans (i was using Noctua's A14-IndustrialPPC fans) i initially wanted to go with Lian-Li's Uni Infinity mirror sl140's because i thought they looked cool and their performance was also pretty good, but then after some research my biggest issue with the Lian-Li stuff is that if you're going with 120mm then you're pretty much set because they provide anything you need in the box (the controller and wires etc.), but if you're going with the 140mm version you are SOL and have to buy additional equipment separately (the multiple controllers and wires etc.) since they only sell the 140mm versions individually and not in special packs. another issue i had with Lian-Li's Uni equipment is that its a big bunch of wires for what they claim to be "seamless single cable" approach, i think Corsair really nailed it with their ICUE LINK ecosystem tbh. as for the fans performance, yes the Lian-Li fans do perform quite a bit better than the corsair QX's, in both RGB modes and visual aesthetics in general, but when it comes to performance, in the end the biggest difference you would see between fans is at most a 3c degree difference, which for all of the additional cable clutter that Lian-Li's approach brings i'd just stick with ICUE LINK if i already have it. in the end these are just fans, and if you have a good case with ample airflow then it doesn't really make you HAVE to get the best performing fans. in my case, right now i've been using only QX140 fans instead of the older Noctua fans i had (i have 3 140mm's in the front for intake, 3 140mm's in the top for my AIO rad set as exhaust and a single 140mm in the back for exhaust) and from my own personal experience after running this configuration with QX140's in the past 4 months i honestly only see a marginal 2-3 degrees c difference (as in the QX fans make my PC run a little bit hotter). but this can accumulate to multiple reasons, such as it was actually a little bit chillier before i switched to the QX140 fans, now its a little bit warmer etc. either way, for a 2-3 degrees difference? it honestly really does not matter what types of fans you use lol so in that regard, at least with my case (C700M) and in my opinion for aesthetics the QX140 are much cleaner looking than the UNI INF SL140's, and of course ICUE LINK is a far superior system to Lian-Li's UNI system. in the end tbh (and as long as you have a GOOD performing case), it all really comes down to which fans you think look better, and which sacrifices you are willing to make to use them (PRICE vs Cable and controller Clutter etc.)

@@HoLDoN4Sec for the price id still say lian li wins, lian li are cheaper the the RX and twice as cheap as the QX so that alone is a huge factor, it's a no brainer if buying a new pc build go with lian over Corsair and get visually better and performance matched for half the price... worth having an extra 2/3 wires (that you dont see) for half the price and better quality,, and the sl inf 120/140 v1s look sooooo much better than the rx or QX infact they look better than ANY Corsair fans! ...i cant even be debating that lol it just does... They run cooler, look visually better, have more RGB, have backwards versions available, are cheaper to buy, and perform better.. win win in my opinion.. only thing corsair icue link has going for it is less wires...but at double the cost and worse performance.

​@@BlazedReefer you are forgetting something, Lian Li is definitely the best option for 120mm, and they even have special starter packs for their 120mm fans to get you easy going into their UNI ecosystem. but their 140mm fans are a completely different story, since they don't have starter packs for their 140mm fans you have to get your fan controller from somewhere else which sucks. if you also want to use their striker wires you need another completely different controller for that as well. Lian Li's UNI offerings, especially for 140mm is a mess. also keep in mind that most people that opt for Corsair's QX fans don't really care about the cost (i mean, these are 50$ fans) and just favor looks over performance. as for build quality, i will have to disagree with you, Lian Li's fans are kinda cheaply made and hollow compared to any other fan i'm aware of, and the RX fans do have superior build quality to Lian Li's fan, at least that is what i noticed from my experience comparing the SLIN140 to the RX140's, the SLIN140's felt kinda cheaply made while the RX140 felt solid. neither of which by the way get even remotely to as well made as any Noctua fan i have here, in comparison both of them feel like shit in terms of build quality but i digress

Yup. 2.4Ghz

[@68WCombatMedic702]

Why couldn't they just make them infinity fans like everyone really wanted. I'll not be buying these for that very reason.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Infinity are the best
