You content it's a life save ,congratulations... I have a question I have 3 sl140 v2 fans connect with the controller and just 1 fan shows thr rbg the other 2 spin but no rgb ,why you think this happened? Thanks

[@KleoYan]

Hi MC84, welcome to my channel. In L-Connect 3 app, go to settings under devices at the top right. Click on it, do you see fans that are highlighted on the port you have plug your fans too. Make sure sure they are highlighted if not the fans will not light up.

[@MC84_]

Hey thank for the response Yes they showing all 3 fans but the rib come in out in just one I have another 7 fans and all working fine just this 2 don’t show the rgb I swap the fans and all working fine the rgb but when all 3 are connected only one lights out the rgb

[@KleoYan]

@@MC84_ hmm. this is so strange. Now aside from the 2 fans not able to light up, have you try the effects, does the rest of your fans react when you toggle the argb effects? if it does. maybe try reinstalling the L-Connect 3 app, remove the applicaiton using Revo uninstaller. ( www.revouninstaller.com/ ). Revo uninstaller will remove all unwanted files / folder / registry in your system. Illustration to use revo uninstaller kzbin.info/www/bejne/q37KhoyfltCjrq8 once done, reboot your system and re-insall L-Connect 3 app. If all the above does not work. I would advise you to reach out to Lian Li support lian-li.com/contact-us/

dude...where did u even get sl140 v2?! I can't seem to find it anywhere without having to ship them from the US😱 also, are we able to connect the fan pwm to the motherboard without connecting the argb? this is to sync the fans with non uni fans and how many fans can we daisy chain with the daisy chain cable? for example, can we get that continual light effect for more than 4 fans? can we also daisy chain sl140 with sl120 either via the fans themselves or via the daisy chain cable?

[@KleoYan]

Hi Kamui Shiro, welcome to my channel, these are provided by Lian Li, you can purchase them off from their official aliexpress shop www.aliexpress.com/store/911265363?spm=a2g0s.8937474.0.0.6a402e0ezOyLbw . if you do not want to use the uni-controller from lian li, you can purchase the single pack and to daisy chain max up to 4 fans to a motherboard fan header or argb header. it's not advisable to mix different uni fans and to daisy chain them. hope these answer your questions. for ARGB effects from your motherboard argb app. it greatly depends on the pattern to do continual light effects.

[@VaticanTop]

I connected a set of 4 fans together for a total of 16, however I don’t get rgb lights for the 4th fan on each group…only 3 out of 4 fans light up for EACH group. Any idea why??

[@KleoYan]

Hi Vatican Tops, welcome to my channel. In L-Connect 3 application, tap on Settings and tap on device, you should be able to see those fans appearing, make sure they are highlighted and not gray out. this is where you set the 4th fan which did not react.

I replaced 3 fans sl120 v2 on my aio pump and wanted to know how do I run cables to my motherboard to control my cpu on its own. I dont want my cpu to get messed up. In addition to this, I also got one sl120 v2 for the back, 3 more on the front, and 3 more on the side. How would you connect them all to sync. My motherboard is asus z790 dark hero, cpu is intel i9 14900k, GPU is geforce asus rtx 3060 12gb tuf gaming and cooler is lian li GA 2 LCD 360 and rgb dimms corsair dominator titanium. I want it all to sync and also prevent cpu from overheating.

[@KleoYan]

Hi Danny K, welcome to my channel, I will do this A) GA II LCD block Type C to motherboard usb 2.0 B) Radiator fans - 3 x SL120 V2 use the single cable where you have 3pin and 4pin, 4pin goes directly to CPU_FAN and 3pin goes to uni controller sync 2 C) Rear fan - 1 x SL120 V2 use the bridging cable (7pin) to bridge to your radiator fans at B) D) Side fans - 3 x SL120 V2 use the 7pin cable to connect directly to your uni controller port 2 as port sync 2 at B) argb follows port 2 E) Front fans - 3 x SL120 V2 3 x SL120 V2 use the 7pin cable to connect directly to your uni controller port 1/3/4 as why doing this way. control your radiator directly from your motherboard but the argb, leave it to the L-connect 3app, so in the event if your uni contorller is faulty, only the argb is affected and your fans will continue to spin to cool the radiator (safety precaution) as for the rest from C) to E) these are your case fans, you can just use L-Connect to controll both fan RPM and ARGB effects.

[@DejanKota]

@KleoYan Thank you for your quick response. I appreciate your help. However, I got a little stuck here. At the very beginning, A) says to plug my cooler fan into the CPU fan, but that's where my AIO is plugged in. Unless I did it wrong?

[@KleoYan]

@@DejanKotaoh I forgot. The AIO pump, you will need to plug to the AIO_PUMP on your Asus dark hero board.

The AIO pump connection is 1A 12w, and the other connection is W_PUMP +, which is 3A 36w. Your videos showed to plug it into a water pump connection only. So which one would you recommend now.

@@ronswanson1410 put the fan on a flat ground or mat, put screws straight to the hole and screw them clockwise. For each 2 turns unscrew it 1 turn and repeat the process.

[@DD-sw1dd]

I always install a fluid temp sensor on the temp sensor port on my Asus motherboard. Will that temp source also be available in the L-connect software when the coolant sensor is attached? The fluid temp is what I base my radiator fan’s RPM on. PS. Also notice their is no VRM option whereas in the bios you can set temp profiles for individual fans based on every major temp sensor on the motherboard. Ideally I have coolant sensor controlling rad fans and every other fan controlled by the VRM temp.

Hi Solaris72 M, welcome to my channel. V2 have a deeper channel and it does produce better airflow, it does bring down temperature of a full build by 2 to 3 degrees in my case (Lancool II) but I would advise you to stay on with your SL Infinity as they are good fans too. If you choose to upgrade to V2, I am discouring you, unless you feel the 2 to 3 degrees is necessary. This my true opinion and advise to you.

[@SuubUWU]

The only annoying thing about the three pack is how it doesn't have the splitter cable that the single fan has. I bought these specifically to switch out the two stock fans of my DeepCool AK620, so I bought a 3pack of SL 120s only to realize I had no method of connecting them to the CPU fan on the mobo.... The included connectors literally only go to the controller. I had to order a single fan in order to get the cable I needed (4-pin PW and 3-PIN SM-type ARGB) to connect to the controller's additional ports and cpu fans seperately. This is because the CPU cooler fans tend to run at faster speeds than typical case fans. These cables should come included in the three pack IMHO. Other than that, fantastic fans and the daisy chaining is ridiculously convenience!

[@KleoYan]

Now as for your second question. is either you use the hub or to use the motherboard argb utility. You can't split to have fans plug to the motherboard and to plug only the argb connector to the hub to use L-Connect 3 to control the argb. Unless you know how to do cable crimping.

Hi, shelby arndts, welcome to my channel, yes you can do that. I've explained in this video, I guess you have miss the part. maybe rewatch this video again as there is a profile you can set between 120 or 140mm on the same controller.

Hey, can you use the V1 and V2 together on one controller or is that not possible?

[@KleoYan]

hello Johnny. welcome to my channel, you can do that but only on the argb side. you can plug the V1 SL 3pin JST connector to either Sync 02 or Sync 03 port. these port follows the pattern this way.. for sync 02 it will follow port 2 and for sync 04 it will follow port 4. then for the fan connector of your V1 SL, you have to plug to your motherboard fan header. now please make sure total of fans plug to this SL V2 controller is up to 16 fans (4 fans on each port) if you use sync 02 or 04, it's also included within the 16 fans capability.

Hi Kleo, question for ya! I have 10 uni fans. Can i use the SL120 controller to power 6 SL120'S and 4 SL140'S? Appreciate all you do and thank you!!! 😊

[@KleoYan]

Hi Evil Bane. Welcome to my channel, yes you can. Just make sure each port of the uni controller do not go beyond 4 fans. Also make sure for those 140mm fans are set to their size at the rpm section.

Hello! I have one question Im going to build a pc with 10 lian li inf fans and 3 aditional lian li fans to do a push and pull in the radiator Is it possible to use 2 controllers in the pc, since its not possible 13 fans in one controller? Thank you!

[@KleoYan]

Hi Douglas Borges, welcome to my channel. Maybe list down for me as follow 1) Which motherboard are you using (Brand and Model) ?? 2) Which case are you using ?? 3) How are you arranging your fan position in the case?? example below Top - 3 x SL120 Inf Bottom - 3 x SL120 Inf Side - 3 x SL120 Inf Rear - 3 x SL120 Inf AIO placement (example top or side or front)

[@DouglasBorgez]

Hello! 1 - Asus Z690F 2 - NZXT H9 Flow 3 - I’m thinking in arranging this way the fans: Top - 3 Fans exhaust Rear - 1 Fan exhaust Bottom - 3 Fans intake Side - 3 Fans intake, radiator, 3 More fans intake, doing a push and pull Do you think its ok putting all 13 fans in 1 controller? And you like this arranging? Or would you put the radiator on the top like most people do? I think this way makes more sense because I want fresh cool air coming to my radiator from outside, better than taking the hot air inside the case and throwing in the radiator? Thank you!

[@KleoYan]

@@DouglasBorgez ok thank you for your reply, you can make use of one controller and this is my suggestion on how to connect your SL120V2 fans. I assume you did purchase mixture of triple pack (with controller) and single pack. Case Fans using 7pin connector from the triple pack =========================================== 1) Top fans - 3 x fan, connect to the uni controller at PORT 2 2) Rear fan - 1 x fan, connect to the uni controller at PORT 1 3) Bottom fan - 3 x fan, connect the uni controller at PORT 4 from 1) to 3) All argb and pwm are controlled by L-Connect 3 app. AIO Radiator fans, push pull configuration using split connector (3pin and 4pin) from the single pack ================================================================================= 4) Push fans - 3 x fan, connect the 3pin (Argb) to uni controller at SYNC PORT 2 and connect the 4pin (PWM) to motherboard CPU_FAN 5) Pull fans - 3 x fan, connect the 3pin (Argb) to uni controller at SYNC PORT 4 and connect the 4pin (PWM) to motherboard CPU_OPT from 4) and 5) only the argb is controlled by L-Connect 3 app, else the fan pwm is controlled by your motherboard utlity or via UEFI Now the reason I've suggested this way, if your uni controller is down, at least your radiator fans will continue to spin and to cool down your processor. Only imparct is the argb. else for the rest of your fans, if uni controller is down. yes both argb and fan pwm will be down but it's less important compared to your Radiator fans.

[@DouglasBorgez]

@@KleoYan great idea. I will do exactly as you said I went to lian li website and it says one controller can support 16 fans But as you said, for safety I will put the PWM of the fans of radiator directly in Motherboard power. And I probably wont conect the RGB leds of the fans in the back of the radiator, since it will not be exposed in the case Thank you very much for your support! Just found your channel yesterday and Im enjoying it you are a great reviewer.

[@DouglasBorgez]

@@KleoYan ok one more question I took a look at the boxes of the fans, I have 3 kits of triple pack and 4 single pack The problem is, I cant connect the ARBG 3 pins to the SYNC port of controller because the cable doesnt fit. I suppose I need an adaptor for that, and I cant find anywhere selling this adaptor here in Brazil My question is, since I cant plug it to the sync port, should I just connect all fans in a single controller, or should I use a second controller? Will it work if I use two controllers? Or I can simply connect the just PWM of the 3 fans in the back of the radiator on the Motherboard CPU FAN, because I dont need LED in these three, it wont be shown Thank you once again

Hi, I need some advice. I want to buy CPU cooler Lian Li GALAHAD 360 SL V2 AiO ARGB black, 4x Lian Li UNI FAN SL140 V2 RGB PWM black and 4x or 1x Lian Li UNI FAN SL120 V2 RGB PWM black. My questions are: 1. Is it necessary to replace the 3x UNI FAN SL120 V1 from the Galahad 360 SL V2 AiO ARGB CPU cooler, replace the 3x UNI FAN SL120 V2 for compatibility in the controller to work? When I want to have all SL120/140 V2 fans? 2. If it is not necessary to replace, it is important that the rear fan 1x SL120 V2 is connected to Sync 4, the top 3x SL120 V1 from Galahad 360 is connected to Sync 3, the side 2x SL140 V2 is connected to Sync 2, the bottom 2x SL140 V2 is connected to Sync 1 (or merge Sync 1 + Sync 2). Will it work like this without problems via L-Connect 3? RGB and FAN speed regulation will be working? 3. If I had only one controller from Galahad 360 SL V2 AiO ARGB, will all FANs (1x UNI FAN SL120 V2 + 4x UNI FAN SL140 V2 + 3x UNI FAN SL120 V1) be compatible with the controller? Will it be necessary to purchase a cable or converter? 4. Lian Li Strimer Plus V2 24-pin/8-pin controller into MB and GPU are different from Lian Li UNI FAN SL120/140 V2 controller, they should not be compatible. So that's two devices, right? 5. I'm looking at an Asus TUF X790 AM5 motherboard. I don't know if it has all the hubs/inputs that the controller needs, RGB_HEADER1 3-pin (ARGB) + PWM 4-pin CHA_FAN2/WP (FAN) + USB 8-pin cable into USB_3_4 or USB_1_2. I have to analyze it later. 6. When I want to connect all Lian Li FANs, can I use the USB cable from the primary controller to USB_3_4 and the Lian Li Strimer Plus V2 from the secondary controller to USB_1_2? Am I writing it right? 7. I would buy a Hyte Y60 PC case. I was looking at how many and what kind of FANs can be put there. Everything fits what I described above. 8. I want to plan everything when I assemble a new PC for the first time in my life, I want to have as few problems as possible. 9. Thank you very much for reading this far and thank you for this informative video! I look forward to your answers :D

Hi Laddos, welcome to my channel. 1. Is it necessary to replace the 3x UNI FAN SL120 V1 from the Galahad 360 SL V2 AiO ARGB CPU cooler, replace the 3x UNI FAN SL120 V2 for compatibility in the controller to work? When I want to have all SL120/140 V2 fans? A1) The SL120 V2 is using it’s Uni controller, you can’t use it on the SL120 V1 controller 2. If it is not necessary to replace, it is important that the rear fan 1x SL120 V2 is connected to Sync 4, the top 3x SL120 V1 from Galahad 360 is connected to Sync 3, the side 2x SL140 V2 is connected to Sync 2, the bottom 2x SL140 V2 is connected to Sync 1 (or merge Sync 1 + Sync 2). Will it work like this without problems via L-Connect 3? RGB and FAN speed regulation will be working? 2A) First of all, you need to get the CPU and GPU readings in L-Connect 3 app when using the SL120 V2 controller. Without that working properly, you can control ARGB but not PWM. Now if you are using SL120 V2, please plug them at port 1 to port 4 and not sync 2 or 4. Sync 2 and 4 are for your Galahad ARGB connector or older uni fans like the SL120 V1 or AL120 3. If I had only one controller from Galahad 360 SL V2 AiO ARGB, will all FANs (1x UNI FAN SL120 V2 + 4x UNI FAN SL140 V2 + 3x UNI FAN SL120 V1) be compatible with the controller? Will it be necessary to purchase a cable or converter? 3A) Connect all your SL120 V2 to port 1 to 4 as for those old version, SL120 V1, you will need to control the Fan RPM in your motherboard and argb controlled by L-Connect 3 in sync 2 or sync 4 pot. 4. Lian Li Strimer Plus V2 24-pin/8-pin controller into MB and GPU are different from Lian Li UNI FAN SL120/140 V2 controller, they should not be compatible. So that's two devices, right? 4A) Kindly watch this kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZjZpoh8msuZbrc 5. I'm looking at an Asus TUF X790 AM5 motherboard. I don't know if it has all the hubs/inputs that the controller needs, RGB_HEADER1 3-pin (ARGB) + PWM 4-pin CHA_FAN2/WP (FAN) + USB 8-pin cable into USB_3_4 or USB_1_2. I have to analyze it later. 5A) This you have to do your own research. Thank you 6. When I want to connect all Lian Li FANs, can I use the USB cable from the primary controller to USB_3_4 and the Lian Li Strimer Plus V2 from the secondary controller to USB_1_2? Am I writing it right? 6A) That’s the correct connection, you can watch this kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZjZpoh8msuZbrc 7. I would buy a Hyte Y60 PC case. I was looking at how many and what kind of FANs can be put there. Everything fits what I described above. 7A) Again please do your own research 8. I want to plan everything when I assemble a new PC for the first time in my life, I want to have as few problems as possible. 8A) In life, nothing is smooth sailing, there will be issues along the way. So take up the challenge. If you find it tedious, get someone who have the knowledge to help you with your build, learn from him or her. 9. Thank you very much for reading this far and thank you for this informative video! I look forward to your answers :D 9A) You are most welcome. As said, everyone learn along their way, that’s how you improve yourself. This might be just PC building but it relates to your way of handling stuff. So don’t be discourage. All the best with your build.

Hey man I've been following you for a while I was wondering if there is any good reason to upgrade? I have 6 fans version V1 that I paid 200 dollars.

[@KleoYan]

Hi ya Bruno Soares, welcome back. If you are having the v1 and they are working fine, stay with it till end of time. In this video it did tell you what are the changes and I have two more videos with are the add on lighting effects and the performance of the two SL fans (V1 and V2)

[@denzscizs]

Hi there, can you explain what are the drawbacks of using this SL V2 fans with SL V1 controller hub? Is argb light still functioning? And fans speed control still also functioning? Thanks

[@KleoYan]

Hi Si6SENSE, welcome to my channel. the difference is. If you are using the SL V2 controller, it's similar to the SL Infinity controller where you have a 7 pin plug on the fans to the controller. all controls are done using L-Connect 3 app. The draw back is, you cant control the RPM via your motherboard directly, unless you set bypass mode in your L-Connect 3 app and make sure the PWM cable is plug between the controller to the motherboard.

[@denzscizs]

@@KleoYan meaning, SL V2 fans is still working with SL V1 controller hub but cannot control the RPM only? The argb light and light effect still can work right?

[@KleoYan]

@@denzscizs if your SL V2 fans are bought as individual pack, you can do so no issue but do not plug the fan load to the V1 controller as the V1 controller RPM is different from V2 controller.

[@denzscizs]

@@KleoYan I see, much appreciate for the answer bro. Thanks

[@KleoYan]

[@Pyriel2]

Can you get them to reverse flow somehow or are you stuck looking at the ugly end of the fan if you want to draw air in?

[@KleoYan]

Hi Tom, welcome to my channel, nope these are not design that way. You might want to look at other fans as Lian Li have not come out with the reserve airflow style.

[@Pyriel2]

@@KleoYan auch thats to bad, the fans look fantastic and its a shame they dont come in 2 different directions.

[@KleoYan]

@@Pyriel2 hmm something you might not know. Reverse fans have it’s flaws. The full potential of airflow is being compromised. Unless you are only going for aesthetic.

[@Pyriel2]

@@KleoYan Yeah aesthetics. Thermaltake will have fans with reversable blades for example. Wonder who makes the first infinity mirror fans that sell for both flow-ways.

[@KleoYan]

@@Pyriel2 I see. Hmm I only know phanteks and as what you’ve mentioned Thermaltake.

[@johncra8982]

Good Lord why is Lconnect so awful on windows 11? 😫 Literally never works, never responds to clicks, all you can do is move the window around, and even then, the infinity page on the window showing the fans doesn't even pop up half the time. I've tried maybe twenty different versions and I've been able to get it to work a grand total of like 3 times, and even those times, I had to quickly try what I wanted to try, before it froze up again. What a disaster of a software.
