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 😅.
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.
I think Lian Li should pay you for making this all-in-one complete guide about all possible ways to connect their fans. The is definitely the best demonstration for Lian Li fans on youtube hands down.
@@TheProvokedPrawn Yes i been watching your builds this whole week to make sure I do not screw up. Very informative stuff, thank you for taking the time to explain everything. Thanks to you I ordered the Lian Li SL120 V2 fans
For real. I am just waiting on my mobo and cpu to come in for my first ever build and went with lian li fans and i am so much more confident after watching this. Great info
I just bought three tripple packs of these fans from microcenter yesterday and MY GOD this is so much BETTER! Way less cable clutter and it was so quick and easy to install!
I found it the hard way the controller is for same type of fan. I couldn't mix different variations of the fans ie the white sl fans with the black non rgb. The fan pins was different
This video was exactly the guide that showcased and explained all my questions regarding combining nzxt radiator with Lian Li fans and how t set it up! In other words you nailed it! Cheers and good job 🎉
This has to be one of the best explanations/tutorials that I’ve seen, I think if you were my teacher many years ago I’d be a lot more successful today. 😀
In preparing for my first PC build, with that is a lot of TH-cam videos and research. Your channel has been my favorite in this process. This video solidified my choice in fans for my build 👍🏻
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.
@@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.
Thank You so much I bought a 120 triple pack and 2x140 fans to Go in a Hyte y40 Snow White and I had no clue how to install these but this video provided an amazing explanation!

Just amazing. c) You get to the point and the video contains only useful information. Please make more videos like that. God bless you!
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?
Lian Li recommends using 2 separate sata lines from psu for powering controller. Read that yesterday in researching my new rig. Btw I want to thank you and all thew channels like yours showing step by step info. I get really into this shit every 6ish years, finish a build and then im out of the loop. When it comes to build time again I feel like im cluelessly starting over from scratch with all that ive forgotten coupled with the tech catch up.
Thank you so much for making this video. I am just prepping to build my first computer since 2013 and never used any RGB components before. This was such a big help.
Thank you for this. I have zero excperience in computers but i live gaming, coming from a ps5 i bought a year ago i’m currently waiting for parts for my first pc. Went with an 4080 and 7800x3d. What scares me the most are for shure are the cables and stuff, but your videos have really helped my nerved hahah.
i'm currently planning out a my second pc build sinc eit's been 5 years since my first. decided to go the lian li route, but was scared i'd lack connectivity, but this video perfectly explained everything i was concerned about and now i'm all set. this was the perfect video on this topic 🖤🖤

Thank you. Building my first pc at 38 years old and literally understanding nothing is very stressful. I don’t know how I’m ever gonna build this thing haha I’m too picky
Thanks for making this so clear. You answered my question i left in a comment in another video. With the kraken you can power the fans with the breakout fan cable so the aio software can control the rad fans. So with the kraken you don't have to power the rad fans with the cpu fan header. Thanks!
Really appreciate your videos. You do a good job of covering topics thoroughly and it is a valuable resource. It really helped me to install the Lian Li controller properly to my motherboard connections.
Já procurei vários videos aqui no brasil com essa explicação aí não encontrei em nenhum video, até que fim encontrei a melhor explicação muito bem organizado esse vídeo meus parabéns.❤
I start my first build today when my AIO [last piece] arrives! I have these fans [in black] so this is VERY helpful! My laptop's browsers is filled with instruction guides. XD Very excited to begin!
Bro this video was fucking amazing. You explained everything really well in detail and all the different combinations. Instant follow! Thank you!..Thank you!...Thank you!!
Great video. Really helpful. I do wish you included a tutorial section on what to do if you were to use the NZXT AIO fans too for a Push-Pull config with these fans. That's what I was planning on doing with my planned build so I was actually wondering how that would work with 10 unifans.
yup, same doubt. If someone has lian li fans for top and bottom row that he can control with the lian li hub, then what if someone also wants to use the NZXT rgb fans comes with the AIO?? Do u need NZXT hub for that or directly control it through motherboard?
Do you have any suggestions for oc/uv ? I have a 7800x3d and a 7900xtx on a msi b650 edge. I play warzone on 1440p settings for higher fps. I played on steam for a week and I recently switched to battlenet. I had constant issues with steam. No problems so far with battlenet. I tried implementing some oc/uv from some youtubers I watched. My computer crashed again and again. I set it all back to default. It was disappointing.
Can you change the direction of rotation of the fans or do you simply have to turn the fans? And which fans should blow in which direction if I use the NZXT H9 Flow Case? Im a beginner and don't know much about PCs Thank you for the helpful video!
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?
Purchased it and got the cable but even then I cant seem to figure out how to let the AIO control my array of 3 Lian li fans I see near the end of the video it asks me the plug it into the 3 fan splitter but I cant see where that plugs into
F**king awesome! F**king, f**king, f**king GREAT! I'm getting ready for my next build and I have ten AL 120s, three of which are going on a Kraken Z73! This is perfect. I get it. Super easy to follow. You're the man! Thank you!
Hey there. Great series of Vid on these. I have a couple of questions. 1) It looks like your case it the lian li dynamic? Can I plug the RGB for the front LED strip built into the case into the Lian Li controller? 2) If I plug the controller into the RGB header on the motherboard, in this case Asus, I assume I won't have the ability to control the RGB of each fan individually through amory crate? Its basically what it says, Aura Sync? Everything is th one color, you can't have waves going throughthe case where each individual fan lights up one after the other? 3) If I plug the controller into the PWM fan header on the motherboard, in thise case the Asus, I assume I won't have the ability to control the speed of each fan individually through the Asus Software? 3) I assume the Lian Li software can't control the RGB on the Asus mobo like icue can? I am trying to cut down on the amount of RGB/Fan control apps. I already have Synapse running and would prefer to just have one more, eg Armor Crate or Lian Li's.
I'm using this same Asus Rog strix X670E motherboard and I'm confused about rather or not Lconnect 3 can sync with the RGB lighting built into the motherboard. Did you cover that, and I may have missed it?
holy smokes dude, thank you for this video! I'm doing my first build since 2017 and the fan situation is more complex than it was 6 years ago, especially with controllers and rgb and AIO coolers on the scene. I've got the lianli infinitys and trying figure out the best solution for hooking these all up, including replacing the kraken 360 stock fans with the infinitys. YOu've cleared it all up for me. Much appreciated! btw are you sure you're not the internet historians brother?
Glad I could help! Hope you have seen my Trinity content too :) And no, but I have heard I sound similar to them, Mr Bean, Cyrosan, and a bunch of other TH-camrs.
Think I will do a full set of AL V2 fans for the next build, case and 2x AIO and the new hub makes hooking up fans really easy, but then once you want to ensure CPU/GPU AIO has the right control it gets sketchy. The software can drive them from the hub based on CPU/GPU temp and that might be great, but then you have to trust that hub and software to run the fans, and I wonder what happens in bios, or with an OS that doesnt run the software. So you might want to run those fans off the headers on the motherboard for hardware control instead. But then you lose all that easy setup of the hub by having to split/break everything up. So with the pass-thru from the hub to the motherboard that goes to a fan header and RGB header if using the single cable connection, do those work full time in passing thru motherboard info in those situations that the software is not running? Else I will just do what you did in the last example and use the break out cable to the AIO fan control and a Sync port. The loss here is a Sync port is not a group that can be individually controlled in the RGB software.
Dear Prawn 🦐, Thank you for this amazing video you created. I have one question. At 14:30 what is that kabel’s name or number that you just to connect the fan to the control box and the pump header on the motherboard. because I did not get it with my uni fan SL-INF 120 triple pack or the single pack. Is this cable for sale separately? I hope you can help. Thanks for all you great work👍🏻
True hero, incredible job! You got a new subscriber! In the last set up. Kraken with LL, I assume you can control the LCD of the AIO from the Kraken proprietary software and the Fans RGB through the Lian Li respectively. Am I right?
thank you so much for making this video its amazing so helpful you explained this so well and perfect im fixen to order 6 of these fans to replace my stock NZXT fans and this is amazing so thank you so much
@@TheProvokedPrawn no worries!! I have seen a few of your videos now and I enjoyed the work you put in and since im building a new pc I've just been lurking haha, I have an evga 3070 and plan to upgrade my cpu to an i5 13600k from i5 11400f
your guides are always great to watch and a big help building up a new system. i have a 011 dynamic evo xl case with an additional led lightstrip on the front of case. i will mount 10 lian li tl 120 fans. which is the maximum number of fans the lian li controller can handle. will the controller still work when connecting the led lightstrip from the case to port 4 of the controller or is it better to connect that on the motherboard directly?
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.
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.
@@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 ❤️
your video helped immensely! thank you! IDK why your SL infinity fans different than mine.. my fans only have the connection that you can slide over the top and only go directly to the 4 ports, they can't connect into the other fans other than through connecting them together as a single unit, I don't seem to be able to connect two, and a third with a different cable. Nor do I seem to have any of the cables to use the sync 2/4 ports..
Correct me if i am wrong but if you want to use these fans on a aio cooler thats not a lian li cooler, you need to purchase atleast 1 fan on its own to get the cable for the rgb and the Cpu fan?
Super informative definite subscribe. One question, I bought a single fan that did not come with that splitter cable to link to AIO and control box. I can’t find it online. Do you have a link or a workaround for that? Thanks.

Thankyou very much for this video youve made my life alot easier this weekend when im installing these to my new build
This video at least gave me an idea of how it works. Gotta rewatch a thousands times to get it completely.

Thanks for making this so clear. You answered my question i left in a comment in another video. With the kraken you can power the fans with the breakout fan cable so the aio software can control the rad fans. So with the kraken you don't have to power the rad fans with the cpu fan header. Thanks!
Really appreciate your videos. You do a good job of covering topics thoroughly and it is a valuable resource. It really helped me to install the Lian Li controller properly to my motherboard connections.
Glad to help. Thanks for watching and for leaving a nice comment
Very helpful and well done video above all considering that in the box of fans you don't have very explicit instructions. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Já procurei vários videos aqui no brasil com essa explicação aí não encontrei em nenhum video, até que fim encontrei a melhor explicação muito bem organizado esse vídeo meus parabéns.❤
Rr😮t😅
I start my first build today when my AIO [last piece] arrives! I have these fans [in black] so this is VERY helpful! My laptop's browsers is filled with instruction guides. XD Very excited to begin!
Building a new PC soon and this setup is exactly what I needed thanks.

I just watched your video on NZXT f120s. Their setup is so much more confusing. These LIAN Li fans are way more logical and straightforward.
Yes. Lian Li makes life much easier with wiring.
u answered all the question i asked myself about this topic, thanks alot!
Happy to help!
Thorough and easy to understand.
Bro this video was fucking amazing. You explained everything really well in detail and all the different combinations. Instant follow! Thank you!..Thank you!...Thank you!!
I have a question, can I connect sl120 v2 and sl140 v2 in the same controller at the same time?
thanks so much for all of this, sub earned
Thank you. Glad you found it useful!
So I got the 360 Galahad and I'm swapping those for V2s which are in my case already. Glad you had this video. It let me know it was possible!
Glad I could help!
Thank you!
I was so confused about how to use the SM port
Great video. Really helpful. I do wish you included a tutorial section on what to do if you were to use the NZXT AIO fans too for a Push-Pull config with these fans. That's what I was planning on doing with my planned build so I was actually wondering how that would work with 10 unifans.
yup, same doubt. If someone has lian li fans for top and bottom row that he can control with the lian li hub, then what if someone also wants to use the NZXT rgb fans comes with the AIO?? Do u need NZXT hub for that or directly control it through motherboard?
Yea what he said answer that question
Thanks for the video. I just now got my mobo synced with all my lian li fans. Works perfectly!

Do you have any suggestions for oc/uv ? I have a 7800x3d and a 7900xtx on a msi b650 edge. I play warzone on 1440p settings for higher fps. I played on steam for a week and I recently switched to battlenet. I had constant issues with steam. No problems so far with battlenet. I tried implementing some oc/uv from some youtubers I watched. My computer crashed again and again. I set it all back to default. It was disappointing.
Lian li is best in argb fans and case 🔥
Great video, easy to understand and it was super helpful.
Thanks Michael. Glad to help. Hope you enjoyed enough to subscribe
The 2 connect cable for aio fan did you have to buy that sperate
I’ve watched the same concept video like 4-5 times now and this is the first video that made sense.😭😭 thank you .
That's how I do things 👍🏼
if u buy the 3 pack can i disconnect and use the other 1 another place
Can you change the direction of rotation of the fans or do you simply have to turn the fans?
And which fans should blow in which direction if I use the NZXT H9 Flow Case?
Im a beginner and don't know much about PCs
Thank you for the helpful video!

Thank you!
The video helped me a lot
I needed this video for my AIO thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
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?
I didnt get the cable you showed for the AIO cooler option, the cable with 2 connections on it. Does that come only with a single fan ?
Yes
Purchased it and got the cable but even then I cant seem to figure out how to let the AIO control my array of 3 Lian li fans I see near the end of the video it asks me the plug it into the 3 fan splitter but I cant see where that plugs into
F**king awesome! F**king, f**king, f**king GREAT! I'm getting ready for my next build and I have ten AL 120s, three of which are going on a Kraken Z73! This is perfect. I get it. Super easy to follow. You're the man! Thank you!
Glad to help!
Thanks for explaining it. Very frustrating is that there are no Reverse Blade Tripple Pack...
Hey there. Great series of Vid on these. I have a couple of questions.
1) It looks like your case it the lian li dynamic? Can I plug the RGB for the front LED strip built into the case into the Lian Li controller?
2) If I plug the controller into the RGB header on the motherboard, in this case Asus, I assume I won't have the ability to control the RGB of each fan individually through amory crate? Its basically what it says, Aura Sync? Everything is th one color, you can't have waves going throughthe case where each individual fan lights up one after the other?
3) If I plug the controller into the PWM fan header on the motherboard, in thise case the Asus, I assume I won't have the ability to control the speed of each fan individually through the Asus Software?
3) I assume the Lian Li software can't control the RGB on the Asus mobo like icue can?
I am trying to cut down on the amount of RGB/Fan control apps. I already have Synapse running and would prefer to just have one more, eg Armor Crate or Lian Li's.
I'm using this same Asus Rog strix X670E motherboard and I'm confused about rather or not Lconnect 3 can sync with the RGB lighting built into the motherboard. Did you cover that, and I may have missed it?
holy smokes dude, thank you for this video! I'm doing my first build since 2017 and the fan situation is more complex than it was 6 years ago, especially with controllers and rgb and AIO coolers on the scene. I've got the lianli infinitys and trying figure out the best solution for hooking these all up, including replacing the kraken 360 stock fans with the infinitys. YOu've cleared it all up for me. Much appreciated! btw are you sure you're not the internet historians brother?
Glad I could help! Hope you have seen my Trinity content too :) And no, but I have heard I sound similar to them, Mr Bean, Cyrosan, and a bunch of other TH-camrs.
Help. Where i can find the cable at 16:36 of the video? I have the pack with 3 but this one is not there 😢. Great video!!
Think I will do a full set of AL V2 fans for the next build, case and 2x AIO and the new hub makes hooking up fans really easy, but then once you want to ensure CPU/GPU AIO has the right control it gets sketchy.
The software can drive them from the hub based on CPU/GPU temp and that might be great, but then you have to trust that hub and software to run the fans, and I wonder what happens in bios, or with an OS that doesnt run the software.
So you might want to run those fans off the headers on the motherboard for hardware control instead. But then you lose all that easy setup of the hub by having to split/break everything up.
So with the pass-thru from the hub to the motherboard that goes to a fan header and RGB header if using the single cable connection, do those work full time in passing thru motherboard info in those situations that the software is not running? Else I will just do what you did in the last example and use the break out cable to the AIO fan control and a Sync port.
The loss here is a Sync port is not a group that can be individually controlled in the RGB software.
Thank you very much, your video helped me to make my own PC!
This was my first time, it was difficult to make LED fan system.
But I did it!
Glad I could help!
Thank you, best "how to" explanations I have found out there
👍
very thx for your help , now i know how to connect my fan to my NZXT Z73,thx so much
Dear Prawn 🦐,
Thank you for this amazing video you created.
I have one question. At 14:30 what is that kabel’s name or number that you just to connect the fan to the control box and the pump header on the motherboard. because I did not get it with my uni fan SL-INF 120 triple pack or the single pack. Is this cable for sale separately? I hope you can help.
Thanks for all you great work👍🏻
True hero, incredible job! You got a new subscriber!
In the last set up. Kraken with LL, I assume you can control the LCD of the AIO from the Kraken proprietary software and the Fans RGB through the Lian Li respectively. Am I right?
That is correct
VERY INFORMATIVE Video & VERY much appreciated! The Lian Li Manual is LACKING instruction!! + + + + + GREAT JOB + + + + +
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this video
Glad to help!
Is the controller the same thing as a fan hub?
Eine wunderbare erklärung,DANKE
Danke fürs zuschauen!
thank you so much for making this video its amazing so helpful you explained this so well and perfect im fixen to order 6 of these fans to replace my stock NZXT fans and this is amazing so thank you so much
Glad to help Jesse! Glad you found it useful.
Fantastic video! Just what I was looking for!
Glad it was helpful! Hope you appreciated enough to sub!
Awesome explanation, all I need is the ability to afford these fans.
oh my God, thank you so much it is so easy to assemble after your video
👍🏼❤️👍🏼
Excellent demonstration of linking the fans up. Can I ask how you would/could use the RGB hub with the controller on the back of a 216 case? Thanks
this was so well explained, thank you for the guide :)
You're very welcome! Hope you enjoyed enough to sub
@@TheProvokedPrawn no worries!! I have seen a few of your videos now and I enjoyed the work you put in and since im building a new pc I've just been lurking haha, I have an evga 3070 and plan to upgrade my cpu to an i5 13600k from i5 11400f

your guides are always great to watch and a big help building up a new system. i have a 011 dynamic evo xl case with an additional led lightstrip on the front of case. i will mount 10 lian li tl 120 fans. which is the maximum number of fans the lian li controller can handle. will the controller still work when connecting the led lightstrip from the case to port 4 of the controller or is it better to connect that on the motherboard directly?
Is the fan Liam controller and 4 pin or 3 pin?
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.
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.
@@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 ❤️
your video helped immensely! thank you! IDK why your SL infinity fans different than mine.. my fans only have the connection that you can slide over the top and only go directly to the 4 ports, they can't connect into the other fans other than through connecting them together as a single unit, I don't seem to be able to connect two, and a third with a different cable. Nor do I seem to have any of the cables to use the sync 2/4 ports..
Can you Daisey chain these with the reverse infinity fan?
Can you use a different controller for the AIO? My other lian lo fans have a different controller. That way one controller to rule them all.
Could you do a more in-depth walkthrough of the connection and setup for a push/pull configuration with the 120v2?
Correct me if i am wrong but if you want to use these fans on a aio cooler thats not a lian li cooler, you need to purchase atleast 1 fan on its own to get the cable for the rgb and the Cpu fan?
What case is this? Awesome video by the way 😀
th-cam.com/video/4vc2P-nnY5E/w-d-xo.html
Super informative definite subscribe. One question, I bought a single fan that did not come with that splitter cable to link to AIO and control box. I can’t find it online. Do you have a link or a workaround for that? Thanks.
Lian Li should hopefully have paid you for doing the tutorial that their marketing should have posted.
They did not🤣 though I'll accept your sub as payment 👍🦐
@@TheProvokedPrawn OK - fair deal, for meh anyway lol
