#howtoinstall #lianli #sl120V2 #SL140V2 - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Thank you so much, I felt so dumb watching all the other videos of fab installation, and I just didn’t understand what they were saying. This made my first Dan installation very easy. Thanks!
Just what I was looking for. Thanks!
Man, the video was really helpful to me. Thank you. Greetings from Turkey
Perfect! Thanks
You have no idea how useful this video was as soon as i got this LianLi Fans!! I was having the hardest of the times trying to find the GDV port, For real, thank you so much for existing!!!
Glad I could help 🙌 Thanks so much 🙏
very helpful
this is by far the most beautiful case ive seen in years, nice colore!! where can i get these cables from?
I just went anti RGB and getting to remove all those hubs was so satisfying 😊
Lian Li is nice but the price o.o
Not sure if you're still active, but quick question:
First, I was happy to see your AIO mounted vertically on the side of the case, instead of top. I also noticed you're pulling air through the rad from the three fans inside.
So, how are you filtering air on the outside that's entering the rad? (I couldn't see back side) And more importantly, do you think there's any benefit doing push/pull there?
I have Corsair AR120s and the AL120V2s, BUT I have room to install three static TL-B12Ws onto the rad side facing out (and ofc the reg flow fans on the other side that you see inside case).
It's a roomy case, the 5000D RGB airflow, and well I guess I wanna move a lot of air :)
Thank you for video and reading.
p.s. Just noticed your AIO is NZXT just like mine lol. Guess il experiment with NZXT's controller, the Corsair fans and Lian Li controller, hah.
Thanks bro. First time building a pc and couldn't get my fans to go. I forgot to plug then in lol.
I’m glad I could help 🙌 thanks for watching ✌️
Thanks for posting this. Just placed a huge order with NewEgg yesterday, and I have to upgrade my case and power supply for the new video card. I just happened to get the exact same case and fans as you. My new AIO will be the Lian Li one though. I got 6 fans and planned to setup airflow exactly as you have yours. Since I'm using a Lian Li AIO, should I plug that into the Lian Li hub as well? Or should I plug that into the motherboard for CPU cooling control? This is my first AIO and I have some stuff to figure out. Your build looks great.
For the aio, plug that into your cpu fan header. The fans can be plugged into the hub.
Thank you 🙏
Hi, I am new to PC stuff, so i was wondering where the NZXT USB hub connects to, and do i need it if im using 2 sl140 fans, and a lian li radiator?
Just a quick question do u not need to plug in the 5v argb header and the fan header when you have the fan hub with the 3 pack ?
question.
with the 3-pack, does this methode only gives argb control through L-Connect? or also through for exemple Asus Armory Crate? because i don't see you plug in to the argb headers on the top of the motherboard. is this controlled by the usb 2.0 port?
Is it possible to connect them in opposite directions? E.g for top maybe front 2 as intake 1 at the back for exhaust?
Now is there a way to daisy chain single packs with the nifty connector or does it only come with the 3 packs. I'm ordering 6 fans and wanted to plug all 6 into the hub so I only really need to order 1 3 pack
Absolute life saver bro but my issue now is I need that usb2 splitter 😭so no fans till then
So you just need to plug the controller to use spot and psu? How about 2 thin wires ( speed control and rgb control I think) ?
i have a question, on 1:23 my fans dont have the pins to have anything connected to. I dont know why they arent there but i cant get rgb because of it im pretty sure
Dope build. I’d love to see how to get colors using lian li’s software
Thank you 🙏 here’s something I just uploaded using lian li l connect 3: th-cam.com/users/shortsFU22qHV3GBY?si=hAEKabnIFRioIUwX
Hello brother, what is the replacement for controller hub sl120 for single lian li sl120 fans, because in my country this controller is not available
Can you run the Fans and rgb cabels over one com box?
how did you mod the glass for this case?
1 fan is cheaper can few of these just be connected on stock lancool 216 controller?
finally a normal video without the shouting
thank you for explaining each, I'm sure many people would want to know if they work without the controller before buying something this expensive, good work, Also I have one question, are there any 140mm packs wich include a controller? or you can just buy them as single pack? wich controller should I buy if there are no packs with it included?
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
I have Lian li galahad UNI SL edition aio 360mm and there have 1 controller which i plug all my 3 SL fan in it. I want to know if i buy 3 set of UNI SL v2 can i plug this normal UNI SL 3 fan on that new v2 controller? is it work or do i need to separate controller to control UNI SL normal and UNI SL v2?? I only have 2 USB hub on my motherboard, One i connect Lian li strimmer v2 controller and galahad uni sl controller. All i want is to sync all light like yours please help.
“These fans save you from using too many wires” meanwhile the control box: 🌚🌚
Well they do. If they didn't interconnect, you'd have wires for every single fan. The multi hub connector is ubiquitous for all advanced computer fan packages. One way or another, the fans need to communicate. Also, when fans are interlinked, they act as one unit and only need a single comm and power.
So yes, the Lian Li design saves a lot of wires. And there's even a lawsuit on other companies using their design IP
Interlink… cells within cells..😂
@@deesteez4329 you showed emotion with that emoji....you weren't even close to baseline...
@@felixchien1664🤣🤣🤣good one!
SUUUPER UNDERRATED COMMENT
THESE FANS WILL NOOOT help with cable management
The control box only works for one type of fan so if you have SLs and INFs u need 2 boxes which is just dumb
I have misplaced my hub for the 3 fan pack. Can I buy a new one ?
How did you get the two tone the on the fans
Does this mean I don't need sata cable while installing 2 140 v2 fans
Can I control these fans with Aura Sync?
The screw holes on my fans aren’t threaded. They are oval and the screws don’t screw into them as they haven’t got any threads on them. Am I missing something or are the fans not right?
I have a 3 pack sl120 v2 can I connect it to a single pack sl140 v2?
what case are you using?
Hey Brother thanks for your build vids. I'm using the black dynamic evo. I really like halo style rgbs and went with 9 corsair ql120s. Now I'm starting to second guess myself and looking at the new lian li sl infinity. Why did you swap?!
Yeah I love halo style fans! I switched because the fans I had were cheap bitspower fans and they weren’t as good as these lian li fans in terms of cooling. I still prefer the halo style fans and might be switching to some new fans. I have a video coming out in a day or two with the new fans I might be using. Testing so we’ll see 😅
isn't the "back" of the fen the side the air blows out of?
Hi @BuildsWithV, I have a quick query. I've installed the V2 pack of 3 fans and connected them to the controller. However, I've connected the small cable for PWM and ARGB to the connector without the USB cable. The fans runs well but the RGB isn't working. The small wire from the connector hub is conenctoed to another hub on the Lancool 216 PC case. Does the ARGB wire need to be connected to an individual 5V ARGB port on the motherboard? Please help.
I don’t remember exactly but I believe the usb cable needs to be plugged in as well. I might be wrong
Love the way how you routed your USB/SATA cables for the AIO! Looks really clean! Were the cables long enough to route them to the bottom or did you need extensions for that?
Thank you 🙏 They were long enough to route them to the bottom and even enough to plug them into the back of the pc case.
Love your videos can you help me with my setup 😭🙏🏾
@BuildsWithV
I've got these fans, is there no way really no way to mount the fan control hub.
i ran out of rgb headers. I cant plug it in. everything else is plugged in but the app doesn't recognize devices. What should I do
Which case is that one?
Would you know if the (single) SLV2 fans can be connected to the SLV1 hub? since the single fans use the 4pin pwm and 3pin argb similar to the SLV1
yeah they do work on the slv1 hub. I tried it
Wait does the front have the logo or not?
just thank
Hi, where can I find that Aorus GPU in white color? Is there a link somewhere? The link you provided leads to black version only ..
I custom painted it
Hey thanks, quick question what’s the difference between v1 and v2 ? I will buy white fans and the only difference I saw is the white is more « pure » white on v2 than v1
The V2 fans are 28mm thick instead of 25mm so pull a little more air. Plus the connector on the side is flatter.
I really like your work, but I'm wondering .. what kind of CPU cables you are using? I've never seen an RGB CPU cable.
those are the Lian Li Strimer plus V2
@@sinfiltro4858 And do they work as a CPU cables? Because I ever never seen anyone using it this way!
I still don’t understand where the Sata Cable plugs into
Did you plug the lian li fans on your Z73 aio into the rear box?
I did not, I plugged them into a fan header to have separate control of the fan speed
This is awesome but like what are all those hubs in the back of your PC and what are they controlling? Like I wanna do exactly what you did here but I'm so confused as to the power output of these things. Like I don't wanna overload one hub or something. Why are there so many hubs in the back of your PC? I noticed you have the nzxt splitter one and another Lian Li one already mounted in the back on top of the one you just installed... what the hell is all that controlling? LOL
I want to put a 3 fan AIO on the top mounted but also want 3 intake fans on the bottom like you did here as well as have 3 in the front along with the 2 strimers how many hubs would I need to do this and how do they even attach to the mobo? Thanks for your time. These are some of the best explained videos on youtube for this kind of thing, keep up the good work.
So the nzxt hub is just a splitter for all the other hubs. One of the lian li hubs is for the lian li Strimer plus cables and the other hub is for the 3 fans on the side which were the v1 of these fans. I have removed them after this video to install these new fans so that hub is gone. Currently have 2 lian li hubs (one for Strimer cables and one for these new fans). My aio plugs into the nzxt usb splitter along with the other usb 2.0 devices.
@@BuildsWithV hey man i love your videos and the fact that you're actually replying to comments. I saw somewhere that you could connect the strimmer hub to the unifan hub using a lian li rgb key cable or something like that. Is there any advantage in doing that? I was hoping to sync all light effects from the l connect program. Will that require me to connect the strimmer hub to the unifan hub? Or will connecting the strimmer hub separately to a usb header also allow me to sync light effects with my fans from a single program? Thanks man it'd really help me out a bunch
@@sweetbiscuits91231 I’m not sure if you can connect the hub to the unifan hub however it might be possible. I think that was more for the older Strimer plus but not too sure. Back then, those strimers couldn’t be controlled by lian li software so you have to physically change it via the buttons or plug it into your motherboard for control which meant it was limited. Connecting the new ones to the unifan hub would be pretty much useless since the unifan and the Strimer v2 is now controlled by lian li l connect. You can control all the lian li lights within l connect at the same time and to the same color but I like to control everything separately to make my own styles.
@@BuildsWithV got it. Thanks for taking the time to reply ma dude. Really helped me out a lot. I can finally move on to ordering and finishing up my new build 🙏
where were you 2 years ago lol. currently having a mare with the software. stcuk on max, or not responding at all.
Hey bro can you mix the slack and white ones together ? Thinking about getting white ones and putting them inbetween the black ones
Black*
Yes you can
would you be able to buy a 3 pack then use two on top of the case and one of the back? or would you need to buy 3 single packs
Yeah, the 3-pack comes with 3 individual cables as well.
If you hover your hand above the top of your case with your fans being mounted this way, does the exhaust air feel hot or cold (around room temperature)?
If I’m gaming, it’s hot air from the gpu.
@@BuildsWithV Okay, thanks!
When I connect the fans via 4 pin cable for aio to the motherboard, will Lconnect3 still able to detect the fans?
nope
If I chose not to use the Lian Li controller and plugged the fans directly into the motherboard PWM and 3-pin ARGB, how many of those fans could I safely daisy chain on one sich connection?
only about 3-4 can be plugged into 1 header.
Usually a System header are 1A, so look at how at much the fans draw and don’t exceed that, but it’s usually 3 fans is the most
Hi .. do I need sata cable when installing single pack to motherboard, say two sl 140 fans joined together ...
Nope, just use the included cables from the single pack to connect to your motherboard
@@BuildsWithV thanks , easy install 👍
Hello sir, could you tell me how to install single fan 120mm at the behind case? I can not install it due to it is not fix for my h9 case 😢
th-cam.com/video/sigBwq_ypro/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7eNkKuJ5s15vDiGS
I've accidentally made all my fans exhaust, since the logos are all facing inside the case
Would like to know how you connected the new fans to the AIO as the three pack has a unique plug to Lian li controller from the new fans. Or do you just use the Lian li controller software to control radiator fans and not the AIO software ?
I used the cable that comes with the single pack. Connected the pwm cable to the aio header and the rgb cable to the sync 1 on the controller
@@BuildsWithV makes sense now I guess I have to get a single fan pack to get this pwm cable I’m missing. Thanks for your reply
Did you have to disable the cpu fan connection in bios for motherboard?
@@bobes919 I did not disable it, I actually plugged the pump pwm cable into it which allows my MB to read the speed as well even tho NZXT software shows me all the info I need
@@bobes919 you can technically just use the lian li software to control the pwm if you want. I just did it this way because I had the spare cables from my single pack fans. If you absolutely need the cable I can send you it for free as long as you pay shipping. Let me know, I have several left over
@@BuildsWithV So i have a Asus Stix AIO and doesn't have the PWM connection so I got a little confused as the Strix AIO says to plug into the MB.
Appreciate the offer but I still need another fan for exhaust so the cable will be supplied in box for me or alternately like you advised to use the Lian Li software ill play around and see what works best, I think the MB software but will have to experiment with it.
Thanks again much appreciated.
i noticed with the hub you didn't connect the fan header cable, is that because you just use the usb port/l connect 3 to manage it all?
with perhaps the radiator fans you let it manage via radiator apps
Yeah that’s correct, I just use l connect to control the top, bottom and rear fans. The 3 fans in the radiator is plugged into the nzxt pump to control those separately from l connect in case I have issues with l connect at least those 3 cpu fans will continue to work.
Air from inside the radiator will travel up. Right into that CPU pump. It's going to get pretty hot in there. ALWAYS make sure the radiator hose ports are ABOVE the CPU pump.
Yeah except everyone forgets one very important fact… the air can never make it to the pipes. This is one of the best ways to mount your AIO.
@BuildsWithV Wrong. Over time, water evaporates. Even in a sealed radiator. Air rises. Right through the same tubes the water ran through. Strait to the pump. Your asking for trouble.
@@SuicideRisk yes the water evaporates but the air stays inside the radiator. If you’re telling me that the air can come all the way down through the radiator and into the pump then the air will have no issue making it down the tubes and back into the radiator. The logic doesn’t make sense. I’ve had my rads mounted like this for a long time. Not one single time have I had to hear air bubbles. When I had it mounted with tubes at top or even radiator on top of my case, heard air bubbles constantly hitting the pump.
@BuildsWithV If water can travel through those tubes, guess what, so can air. And air rises. Never mount a pump above the radiator, dude. You know what they say..F around and find out. Go check your "facts".
I've been building computer systems for almost 25 years. I've replaced 100's of CPU's and AIO's due to pump failures because the AIO was mounted incorrectly. Enjoy!
Is it okay to plug my aio fans (SL120 on aio from diff brand) into the controller and control them through l connect? I don't have the cable from the single fan pack
Yeah you can.
@@BuildsWithV thanks for the fast reply! Really good vid wish u the best
@@oxorade979 No problem at all. Thanks for watching 🙏
how do u connect 5 set of fans to 1 controller? sl 120 infinity uni and 2 140 sl140 uni
You’ll have to use the included piggy back cable and basically just make a set of 6 instead of just 3
Savior
Kinda late but need help. Got the 3 fans hooked up and connected to the hub. Huh connected to SATA and USB2. Still no spin or rgb. Help please
Have you installed the software? If not, try that. If you have and still not working, try updating the firmware inside the software
@@BuildsWithV thank u
Hey what's the pink case in the back
Same case as mine. It’s the 011D evo that I painted and modified
do you need the controller to intall the fans?
The 3 pack comes with the controller which is what you’ll need to install the fans. The single packs some with standard connectors which means you technically can plug them in without the controller
Do you know when the 3 pack will go on sale?
Unfortunately I do not. Not really sure if they’ll go on sale at all but check around for sure during this month.
@@BuildsWithV alright thank you! I love the vids btw :D
@@baileyyp thanks so much 🙏
Can you daisy chain 3 triple pack and 1 single one together?
The most you can daisy chain is 6. So 2 triple packs
@@BuildsWithV thx
@@BuildsWithV so if I get one of those nzxt connectors would it work?
@@Andrew-ky7nj oh I thought you meant in a single row. One controller will support all you fans no problem.
Hi, is "SYS_FAN" Same as "CHA_FAN" In prime z790-a wifi?
Yeah it’s the same
Why are you pluggin it into usb 2 on the usb stands "usb" not "usb 2"?
USB and USB 2.0 is the same port. USB 3 is different
Nice video and PC but RIP to your cooler 😭 the AIO should never be installed higher than the tubing port to minimize air in the cooling system
Thank you 🙏 the pump should never be mounted as the highest point in the system. The pump is lower than the highest part of the radiator. All air stays trapped in that part of the radiator. Have been running like this for 2 years without a single issue.
The problem with these fans is the cable for the controller hub is too short. There are no longer cables available that I’ve found. I’ve emailed Lian Li multiple times asking about longer cables and they won’t respond.
😂
😂😂 they sending your emails to the spam folder
i dont understand why i got a pack of three fans and a bunch of one pack for a total of ten fans, are the three pack fan are different then the solo fan because i cant plugs them together. i got two freakin different controller, so i can only plug one controller to my motherboard. im freaking out spending all that money for nothing
Just use the extra cables from the 3 pack to connect them all to one controller. For the 10th fan you can plug it separately or buy another v2 cable from the 3 pack.
oh man
This is breaking my heart...
from what i understand the absolute best way to install the AIO is to have it at the top..
YOu always want the pump lower than the rad hoses...
You’re misunderstanding, you always want the pump lower than the highest point of the radiator. Your heart is fixed 😉
hurts to see that radiator upside down.................
You never showed how to screw it up I am struggling so much:(
it works like: 1 cable with max 4 fans in a row. not more :/ if u want more fans connected, u need a second cable. for example 3 fans 1 cable and 2 other fans with one more cable
You can daisy chain up to 6 fans with these fans.
Is it just me or the lian li cables comes out very easily! :((
Those cables are way too short
Your AOI is installed the worst way possible, with the tubes in the bottom.
You've spent big bucks on your computers, now you should spend some money on a microphone and some sound dampening for recording.
That AIO is upside down. The cables from the radiator need to be higher than the CPU. You’re creating air bubbles which could cause damages.
That’s not correct. Air bubble can’t make it to the pump with this setup
@@BuildsWithV I mean all the testing is there to prove it. But I’m just letting everyone know.
@@OkayGonzo_ what testing? Did you do any research because you’ll find very quickly that this is actually one of the best ways to install it to avoid any air getting in the pump.

Clean your mobo bro lmao
Yeah I noticed that while editing. Doesn’t look dirty at all in person. Close up it looks filthy 😅
@BuildsWithV hahaha like a desert. Good video though 💪
Honestly Lian-li fumbled this design. The daisy chain cables can only really go in one direction, it really should have been reversible.
It goes in just one direction but you can take the cover off the connector and flip the cable to be facing a different direction
Would you be able to explain how you would flip the connector end of the daisy cable to make it go in the same direction you did? I have been trying to figure out what you mean, and I honestly can't. I really appreciate it as I'm working on my build today.
Cant fking stand these fans like my power supply box and cords dont already take up the whole back side of my case now I have this crap 😂
