Wow, I recently found you on TH-cam and was really looking for more info on this because I just bought all these fans and it was still a bit confusing to me why I would use the USB headers on the mobo at all and not just use the SATA breakout. This video was PERFECT. Thank you!!
@@TheProvokedPrawnThat's completely fine, I'm looking towards building a pc using all black parts and I thought it'd help to showcase more black components since every showcase I see nowadays uses all white parts 😂 Great wiring guides btw, makes it very easy to understand
One question I still have is regarding installing the wireless hub inside the case. What is the purpose of the pwm header on the wireless dongle? Isn't it just getting USB power same as if it was plugged into a regular USB 2.0 port outside of the case? I suspect the PWM header is only if you want to sync PWM fan control and NOT use L-Connect. I assume I could bypass and not use the pwm header?
Great guide. I wish they'd come out with a Hydroshift LCD with three of these wireless TL fans on it. The version with the regular TL fans is around $250, and if you buy the version without any fans at all, it's $200, so if you want to buy the Hydroshift LCD with three wireless TL fans, it's around $300, a $50 premium. But it doesn't make sense to me to mix and match their fan tech. I wouldn't want to have three regular TL fans and 7 wireless ones for the rest of the build. I'd want to go all wireless or all wired. I'm also baffled that there are apparently no 140mm version of these. Do you happen to know if that's coming down the pipe? Do you know if L-Connect kind of saves configuration to device memory or something? With the fans plugged into the PWM headers on the motherboard, I'm sure that controlling the fans would work fine if you dual-booted into Linux or something, but the RGB and LCD screens, I'm guessing they would either rely on saved config if the fans / Hydroshift LCD have a bit of onboard memory, or more likely, they'd probably default to rainbow puke and either nothing or the Lian Li logo on the LCDs, but I haven't seen anyone talk about what happens if you aren't running Windows (and thus wouldn't be able to use L-Connect).

Glad to be of assistance! And that you found it useful. Hope you enjoyed enough to subscribe
please do more showcases using black parts
Yeah? I have lately though I personally prefer white and it's easier to film 🤣🫣

@hmddo if only I knew what the majority of people wanted.
I am also getting burned out on white builds....lol. None the less, I do enjoy this channels content.

Thank you my friend.
Thank you too
Great video PP! Come on Lian Li, where is the 140 reverse fans that most of your cases are built to accommodate?
I guess 120 is just more popular/in demand

I wish I could’ve bought this three months ago before I got my SL ones including the new PSU from Liam li
the whole point of the fans is that they dont need the fan hub... i have 7 fan ports in my mb
Universal connectivity
More WiFi radiation crap
