This was super helpful! Just swapped out my Corsair LL120 fans for Uni SL120 Infinity fans yesterday. Night & day difference in quality! And the amount of wiring is about a fourth of what it was. Very happy about that! But this video gave me some tips that I didn't think about or was unsure about, so thank you!
Hi TravD23, welcome to my channel and am glad you like the content of this video. I have a series of these Lian Li argb stuff which might interest you th-cam.com/play/PLEW-b-2vYDdPo0NzHyeksx012c-nkDapm.html once again thank you for the visit and all the best with your PC build 👍
Is it worth to change ? i have LL120 and been considering to change to the SL120 infinity for a while
@@NoOne-qc5fn Definitely worth it for me. As stated above, it cut my wiring down to only a handful of cables. They also perform well (temps have been solid) and look amazing. So for me, it is absolutely worth the change.
@NoOne-qc5fn not as easy at it seems. It's a pain the ass and wish I didn't undo all my good cable managing I had with my QLs I plugged everything up and the l connect 3 doesn't even detect my fans
Another excellent video, I do have an issue with L-connect 3. I've tried different methods but failed. Your tip on even power distribution have solved the problem. Thank you Kleo, you are awesome as usual.
Hi Nox Mu, welcome back, I am gald you have fixed your issue and thank you for the compliment.
Thanks for putting in the work of troubleshooting, updating, and configuring these devices. The video is a huge help.
Hi Mannie, welcome to my channel and thank you too for leaving your valuable feedback. All the best with your build too 😉
Important, helpful and quite valuable instructions ! Yet another generous share of knowledge and experience. Great job !!!
Hi Mr Voayer, welcome back and thank you for your valuable feedback, greatly appreciated it. 👍
great video. I was having problems but followed your directions and it's all working perfectly now. thank you for making this.
Hello roozster, welcome to my channel and am glad this aid you out. Have fun now 🙂
So dumb to need so many controllers to do some led lighting. It's like mixing 20th and 21st century tech. Should be 1 controller, and 1 software to control everything. Esp for the price.
Hi Nick G, welcome to my channel and thank you for your feedback, just a suggestion, you might want to write in to Lian Li to suggest it.
I won’t lie, I definitely agree to this. Should be much, much more simple this day and age.
@@micspamgod2324 welcome to my channel. Thank you for your feedback, I have sent this feedback to Lian Li and it will be great if you can highlight this at Lian Li's Reddit forum. www.reddit.com/r/lianli/
I am really irritated that I have spent soo much money and it took us hours searching on web how to connect, AIO and fans. And then you find out you need hub. Which is not shown on any manual.
Was very nice working with you Yan ! Thank you :)
Hi Gokhan Sevindi, welcome to my channel and thank you for your valuable feedback. All the best with your build too. 😉
Power supply is probably only relevant to those people using lots of controllers and fans. BUT the suggestions regarding the USB hub is genius. Most of us have far too many USB devices, connected externally, but we don't know which internal USB line they are running from, and if it has enough power.
Hi Julie Fisher, welcome back. Yup, I have tried using usb splitters which does not have sufficient power and due to the fact that most PC users uses too many usb devices. This will cause intermittence or even unable to recognise the device. That’s why I choose to use an internal usb hub which is powered by the psu sata directly. Btw am using the NXZT internal hub.
Very informative instructional video Kleo. I own 6 Lian Li UNI Fan AL120 , 3 Lian Li UNI Fan SL-INF 120 RGB Infinity Mirror Fans , 2 LIAN LI Strimer Plus V2 ,and the Lian Li Galahad AIO 360 RGB UNI Fan SL120 with 3 Lian-Li controllers in my ROG MAXIMUS Z690 HERO and now I understand how to connect every component together with the NZXT Internal USB Hub 3. The only problem is I own Corsair Dominator platinum RGB ddr5 ram that doesn't sync with the L-connect 3 software so I use the Asus motheroard plug to bypass L-connect 3 and every component syns with Asus Amory Crate. Thanks for a great channel !!!
Hi Jim Hamilton, welcome back, yup there are still other argb stuff which I am not able to resolve as I have tried writing in to Corsair and NZXT for sponsorship. But none replied, that’s why this vid title is meant for all pc builders using lian li products. Nevertheless thank you for your support👍
I fusing the L-Connect 3 software to control your CPU & GPU fans (AIO Coolers) rather than connecting those fans headers to the motherboard.
In the software you can say "This group is controlled by CPU/GPU temps" but what happens in BIOS, or even a dual boot system with an OS that doesnt run the software?
Will those fans run automatically from the signal from the pass-thru connection of the controller, run at full speed, or not run at all?
Hi Vicious Computers, welcome to my channel. For your case, it will run at silent mode and does not pickup from your bios even if you did plug the cable between the controller to your motherboard PWM fan header.
@@KleoYan Ok, good to know. I'll need a few single fan cables that break out to the separate aRGB and PWM Fan connection then will put them on the controller in a sync port and plug the fans into the motherboard directly most likely.
I do not dual boot linux anymore I just use WSL or use a VM and in bios silent mode would be good enough due to the low demand on the system, but kinda still "better safe than sorry"
Just would be nice to control everything from one place and not need another software for those fans.
Your videos have been very helpful and greatly appreciated! I have just built a system using several Lian Li products, and initially I couldn't get the SL V2 controller to show up in my device manager, and following your instructions I was able to get it to work perfectly. I also have a Strimer V2 cable, and that has worked great from the start with L-Connect 3. My last issue, is that I have purchased the Lian Li Lancool 216 RGB version case. I have 6 SL V2 Uni fans - 3 of which are on a Lian Li Galahad 360 AIO. I hooked up the PWM header from the SL UNI fan controller to my CPU_FAN header. I'm not sure if this is optimal, but everything seems to be working fine, and I can control all 6 of the UNI fans with L-Connect 3 (both PWM and RGB). The issue I have now remaining, is the two 160 mm RGB case fans that came with the 216 case. I opted for the AGRB controller accessory, which is just another USB 3.0 port hub, and has some mode and color buttons to control the RGB on these fans. I thought this would be fine, but I've found every time i power off and on the PC, these fans revert back to rainbow RGB - which is really annoying. The case came with a fan controller for the case fans, but to my surprise (and dismay) Lian Li didn't integrate this hub for use with L-Connect 3. What is up with that?? My goal would be to have all the fans and RGB controlled by the L-Connect software. The PWM control of the case fans is working fine using the ASUS armoury crate fan xpert software, so I'm fine with that. But is there a way to get the RGB of the two front case fans to sync with the rest of the RGB fans using L-Connect 3? I asked the question to Lian Li tech support, and they didn't give me any instructions but sent a link to a ARGB cable kit. The only thing I can think of is to use an adapter from the 5 V ARGB connector from the case hub to connect to the sync port on the UNI SLV2 controller. I just am not sure if this is what they meant. I did use the RGB cable from the Galahad AIO RGB to one of the sync ports and that does seem to work with L-conect 3. What do you think?
Hello Kinegos, welcome to my channel, I will get back to you on this as it's pretty late at my end, need to catch some sleep, but will reply you in my morning. Thank you!
Hi Kinegos, what your have mentioned about the Lancool 216 case fans. You are absolutely correct. Here is a diagram which will aid you imgur.com/PrPqFBt (download the picture if it's too small), btw, the converter is part of the lian li argb kit which you have bought.
@@KleoYan Hey Kleo! I wanted to follow up as I finally got the Lian Li ARGB Device Cable Kit which had the adapter cable I needed as in the picture you kindly linked in your comment. I'm happy to say it is working great now with the only small annoyance that every time I reboot I have to press the mode button on the 216 accessory RGB interface for 3 seconds to hand control over to the L-Connect app. It's still better than what I had before, but Lian Li really is puzzling that they make this new case with RGB controls but don't integrate it seemlessly into their own RGB software right out of the box. But really appreciate your help! Now I have about 10 cables I don't need as I just used the one cable out of this kit. 😂
@@Kinegos Hi, welcome back and am gald you got everything sorted out. That's one of the down side not only in Lian Li 216 argb controller. it happens to most physical controller which has a remote control. If it's software based, then you won't have this issue. This physical controller on the case do not remember the Mobo settles, you have to toggle it.
2024 and this solved a huge headache for me trying to mix SL v2 and SL infinity fans. Thanks
Hi forcedcobra, welcome to my channel. I would say yes it's a big headache but I believe Lian Li is going to come out with a controller that will enable you to plug all the different type of uni fans to a controller. Will have to wait for them to implement it.
If anyone of you have the issues with L-Connect 3 app, below are some troubleshooting steps
Basic Troubleshooting steps
Disclaimer : Though the chances are very low to brick firmware updates on motherboard and to any controllers. I will not be responsible if you have brick your motherboard or controller.
1) Make sure your motherboard bios is up to date, please check on your motherboard manufacture website, under support > bios and drivers. See if there are issues with USB and do they have a fix. If there are, kindly update those bios firmware version.
2) Make sure your chipset driver for your motherboard is up to date! For AMD will be at www.amd.com/en/support for Intel will be Intel Driver & Support Assistant Intel DSA www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html
3) Remove all argb apps (Asus Armory Crate / MSI Dragon Center / Giga Fusion / Asrock Polychrome). If the brands which I have mentioned, do have a uninstall tool like the Asus Armory Crate, use that, else use Revo uninstaller ( www.revouninstaller.com/ ). Revo uninstaller will remove all unwanted files / folder / registry in your system. Illustration to use revo uninstaller th-cam.com/video/uMgUYiakpxM/w-d-xo.html
4) Shutdown your PC, unplug the PSU cable from your AC outlet. Press the power switch twice to discharge all current that your motherboard is holding. Leave it for 45 second
5) While waiting, please do not use KVM switches. Disconnect all devices that are connected to your motherboard (front / back IO). Leave only your Keyboard, Mouse , Monitor and Ethernet (If you have) connected directly to your motherboard.
If your monitor has a KVM build-in, remove the USB cable from your monitor to your motherboard USB socket. If your mouse and keyboard are connected to your monitor, please remove them and plug them directly to your motherboard instead.
6) Plug only one Uni controller or Strimer Plus V2 controller. If its for Uni Fan (SL/AL) use only 3 fans to an output of the uni controller.
7) Plug the power cable and turn on your PC
8) Go to your Device Manager, look under Universal Serial Bus Devices, make sure you see the Lian Li uni / strimer plus V2 controller.
9) Install the L-Connect 3 app only lian-li.com/l-connect3/ (current version 1.3.16)
10) After installation, run L-Connect 3, check under Setting > General > make sure Auto-Run on Boot and Minimized L-Connect 3 to system tray at close are ON.
11) Reboot your system.
12) First thing you need, go to device manager and see if the Lian Li controller is listed, next open up the L-Connect 3 app. Check if there is a need to update firmware to your controller. Go to Settings > Update, under Device F/W version, click on Update Check, download and install the firmware. Make sure the firmware is completed. Do a check on device manager and make sure the Lian Li controller is listed.
13) On L-Connect 3 dashboard, check if the CPU and GPU readings are reacting, you might want to test it using some benchmark programs. If there are reaction, play with the PWM and argb functions. If it does not work, skip step 14) and proceed step 16)
14) If Single controller works, shutdown your pc, connect uni fan set of 3 to your output of your uni controller. Do it small steps at a time to hook up your sets of fans. do not do all in one go. If successful and you have a second controller, proceed small step at a time again.
15) Slowly plug back your USB devices (Headset, Microphone, Printer, USB Capture Card and etc). At any point of time as you add those devices one at a time, if L-Connect 3 become unresponsive. This tells you that there power is insufficient to power up more USB Devices. Whatever USB port on your motherboard, there is a limitation as the current are shared across the board, be it front or back I/O and the internal USB Header. You might need to get a Internal USB Hub that comes with a Sata Power source to the Internal USB Hub. (Disclaimer, buying a internal usb hub might or might not resolve this issue, purchase at your own expenses)
16) If it does not work, report your issues to Lian li Tech Support. There is a in build log ticketing system in L-Connect 3 app. this is what you need to do. Go to Settings > Support > Click on “Download log” place a filename and choose a destination drive to save the log file. Next click on “Report” it will take you to Lian Li Tech Support FAQ. Fill up the form and upload the log which is a zip file.
In what state is L connect 3 today? Do you know if it is running smooth now or is it unstable?
@@bergdk237 Hi, welcome to my channel. so long you do not over add too many argb devices, hubs, controllers, more fans more led strips and such.. it will be rock solid stable. If you asked me, there are only bugs, no instability issues. I get most of the PC builds for my friends or colleagues which works flawlessly without instablity issues. Most bugs are fixed anyway. For info on what are the fixes, kindly refer to the log lian-li.com/L3-changelog/. Also in most of my builds, I dont use motherboard argb utitlies, on top of this. I often make use of ASRock motherboard where you can turn off and on the argb effects within the UFEI / Bios without installing argb application in windows.
@@KleoYan Thanks, I got some AL120 fans(the 3 pack) Should I just go straight to installing L connect 3? Or would it be better to just Install L connect 2?
@@bergdk237 go straight L-Connect 3, follow this video guide, be patience and it will eventually work out for you. also take note on some important points which I've pointed out in this video. Rest will just rush it and rant about it and blaming L-Connect 3 is the cause of it. Infact it's not.. just that the argb IRQ in windows is shared, therefore all argb utilities are fighting for top piority to use the same IRQ which ended up instablity, crashes, delays and many more. Just keep argb application simple and to use suite devices. unlike some which add argb aio pump block, LCD display and such.
@@KleoYan ok thx, it is the only Argb fans ect. I got at the moment, only got RGB ram, rest is not RGB. so it will be very simple for now. I mainly got them to test them out in my current pc to see if I like Lian li Argb fans and software and controller, before I upgrade my system later this year.
Very useful. Thanks for putting together this video
Hello Solaris, welcome to my channel and thank you for the compliment.
Thanks this fixed my problems🙌🏽
Hi Eren Yeager, welcome to my channel and I am glad this content does aid you in some ways. 😉
PERFECT! love the new L-Connect 3 app , wish it worked for the damn Kraken water cooler . Tkx
Hi Crypto Johnny, welcome to my channel. Yes it will be perfect if you only use Lian Li's argb ego system. If you add on other argb devices, thats where things starts to get complicated.
This video it a lot of help, thank you so much. 😁
Hi Bill Felix, welcome to my channel, I am glad this content did aid you. You are most welcome. Thank you for your feedback and all the best with your build too. 😉
That video helped a lot or brought me to the solution based on issues i had with L-Connect 3....
So, i'm running an Asus Dark Hero VIII (X570), 5900x in an O11 XL Case.
When i built the pc, i was running Lian-LI SL Unifans (infinity were not released back then).
Controlling the Fans through L-Connect worked fine for L-Connect 1/2...
However, even after upgrading the FW of the Controller, L-Connect 3 was never working... while L-Connect 1/2 didn't cause issues.
I upgraded some parts 2 days ago, replaced the Galahad with a Kraken z73 and the SL Unifans with the newer Infinity ones (which also come with a newer controller).
However, L-Connect 3 still didn't seem to work - but to controll all the lightning options of the infinity fans you need L-Connect 3.
Was driving me mad after x amount of reboots, bios update to the newest versions, disconnecting the pwm and only running per USB etc.
My Windows Installation has some legacy, so i reset/fresh installed win11 to be sure no ghost driver stuff or whatever causes issues,
nothing really worked though...
In the End it was all about USB Power... I have a 4k Aorus Monitor which has a built in KVM connected via USB....
Seems this have drawn a loooot of power from the mainboard and was causing the un-resposivness of L-Connect 3...
As soon as i disconnected USB devices 1 by 1 and all of a sudden l-connect 3 started to work, I found out what devices have been causing the issue...
So again, thanks a lot for the hint in terms of usb power distribution and to look into that, which lead me to the solution :-)
I still find it funny, that i never had issues with l-connect 1/2 though compared to l-connect 3....
That's kinda strange that the issues were not present on prior versions... I can only imagine, that l-connect 3 draws a lot more power from the controller due to all the built in monitoring measurements l-connect 3 is doing from the controller which draws more power? At least this seems the case...
Hello Tino Burkhalter, welcome to my channel. yes one of the issue is with KVM switch or the build in KVM on a monitor.. I had your issues back then and did talk about it. However there are still issues for some peeps as they did not do the primary test or check. I know L-Connect 3 is fussy but once you narrow down the issue. it will work swiftly.I am gald you have solve your issue. once again thank you for your visit and your valuable feedback. 😉
This video is awesome ! one question though with the new lian li infinity hub and the new strimmer v2 hub can we do the same method of linking them with the arbg cable kit? I have all the cable just need to know if it is ok to do still? So I can control both with L Connect 3? Or is a usb hub needed?
Hi Anthony Lowe, welcome to my channel. Both has a controller. You will need additional USB header will do. If you choose to plug the strimer plus together with the uni controller, it might not work as in, the strimer plus will not reflect on the L-Connect 3 dashboard, therefore you lose the argb patter effects.
Thanks this video sorted thing out for me straight away
Hello eliteaky, welcome to my channel and am glad this content did aid you. All the best with your build.
Super helpful. Thanks for this.
Hello Doc Brody, welcome to my channel. Thank you for your valuable feedback and all the best with your build.😉
I've just installed 9 Infinity fans to a new build. On boot 3 connected fans are running full blast which i cant slow down. I have tried everything i can think of, from software to physical connections, but cant slow these 3 fans down. If anyone has any ideas then id be very grateful. This video is so informative for someone inexperienced like me. It feels good to watch a video and learn something for a change. Well done sir.
Hi weaselinjeans, welcome to my channel. If you just plug everything in and can't get it to work. try the steps I have shown you in this video. do one thing at a time. first thing is to get your L-Connect 3 to be able to response with the CPU and GPU temperature. run the benchmark. you see, if you do it step by step, this ensure on the connection and the communication between your motherboard to the controller. Alot which I have aidded, all told me did my steps but when I find out.. it's not exactly the steps they follow. Ended up I have resolve their issues via conference call. telling them exactly what to do. my method as in step by step is to first, ensure the controller is communicating with your motherboard first. then next will be the update firmare. Anyway I hope you will resolve your issue soon. thank you for the visit and to have leave your valuable comments.
@@KleoYan thank you very much once again. When I get home this evening I will work through your tutorial, step by step, and let you know how I get on. Thanks again for the rapid response to my question. Keep up the great work 😊

Great video. All of your videos have explained the entire Lian Li fan ecosystem. As a recommendation, it would be nice to see how to integrate it with the Lian Li Lancool iii. For example, how to tie in the front ARGB fans, motherboard integration, etc.
Hello Iron Condor Simulation, welcome back, let me see what I can do about your request later as currently am waiting for Arctic's 420 liquid freezer to reach me. once again thank you for your suggestion and to have visit my channel.
did yall figure out if the front 3 argb's on the lancool iii are controllable by Lconnect?
@@mariopro519 hello and welcome to my channel. The lancool III fans have the similar argb 3pin Jst03 plug where you can plug to any argb port or fans in a SL or AL controller. But for the SL infinity controller. You can only plug the argb to sync 2 or sync 4 port. The fans you need to plug directly to the motherboard fan header.
Hey, do you have a video on your channel showing how to wire properly the O11 Dynamic Evo, Strimer Plus V2 and Uni Fan SL-infinity? I have trouble with it. Do I have to plug the 5v RGB from each controller and case? If yes, do you plug it for example the case rgb 5v into the fan controller and then to the MoBo? Or does it have to go directly to the MoBo? What happenes, if I dont plug the 5v RGB? Thanks in advance! You do very good videos!
Hello SKY, welcome to my channel and sorry to say I do not have this case, therefore not able to advise you on the connection. You might want to ask others at lian li Reddit forum. www.reddit.com/r/lianli/
Great video, would have saved me some time when I started with the Lian-Li fans and software. Is there a way to control the RGB effects so they continue from one set of fans to another on the entire controller? I only manage to change it within one "bank" of 4 fans.
Hi Mikael Bäckström, welcome to my channel. For this you will be able to control the pattern within the Lian Li argb products as they are cater for only the uni fans and strimer plus in
L-Connect 3 (Quick Sync Lighting). If you are talking about having your rams and GPU, that's not possible. Once again thank you for your compliment and feedback.
Hello! I’m from Singapore too! Thank you so much for your hard work in making this video~ I would like to ask about the Lianli strimer plus. Can I use L connect or L connect 2 to control the strimers? I have a triple 8 pin and a 24 pin. Both are v1. I have the v1 controller, but it seems like a purely manual controller that I have to open up the case to change the lighting effects, also there are only 7 colours and no gradient rgb effect. If I want gradient rgb, I have to press m1 to pass the control to the motherboard software, in this case I have a asus motherboard that uses armoury crate and the lighting effects in armoury crate are the opposite. That means I can have gradient rgb but I am unable to achieve the lighting patterns of the controller. Is there a way that I can get more rgb lighting effects like by using another software without opening the case every time I want to change the strimer plus lighting effects? I do not have any lian li fans, I only have strimer plus v1 and the v1 controller. When Thank you!
Hi Imogen Infinity, welcome to my channel. You have two choices. 1 is to purchase a Strimer Plus V2 controller. you can refer to these video th-cam.com/video/J76Zyd1GzNA/w-d-xo.html or th-cam.com/video/uWNZO2HVgxE/w-d-xo.html. 2 is to try out Signal RGB, this is an application which others are talking about which you might want to search from google or youtube about this app. I myself have not tried this but you can do some reasearch about it.
Kleo, I got 10x 120mm Infinity fans from Lian Li. Im covering up my Lancool III with them (replacing the stock case fans aswell) and Im not sure if I get the RGB version of the case. 3 of 10 fans I got with the controller. If I get the RGB case version, will I be able to change the colors from all fans directly from the front of the case as well in the Lian Li software ?
Hi, Daniel Caparroz, welcome back. you can connect all fans to the Uni controller, just make sure the argb cable that is connecting between the uni controller to the motherboard, instead of pluging to the motherboard argb, plug it to the case argb header, not the cable that goes to the motherboard ok. If you want to controll the argb from your case argb button, you will need to set bypass mode in L-Connect 3, then you will be able to use your case argb button to control all the argb effects.
Chipset update helped, thank you
Hello SweetDralinHoneyLove, welcome to my channel. That's good to hear and thank you for your feedback.
Does anybody know if there is a way to use hex codes to manually input a specific colour using L connect 3, I have the infinity fans and I would like to have a halo themed colour scheme
Hey, what would you recommend my RPM to be at? I built a PC and just noticed my quiet RPM was 1200 so my fans were always loud. So I changed my base RPM to 800 now, but not sure if it automatically speeds up when the GPU / CPU hit higher temps.
What would be a good RPM for certain temps? Just don't want my computer getting too unnecessary loud. I have 9 SL V2 vans in at the moment. Also which line is better curved or straight to change the RPM?
Thanks!
Hi Jesse, welcome to my channel. In general from temperature 30 to 55. I will run 900 to 1k rpm. From 55 to 70 I will run 1k to 1.2k rpm. From 70 to 85 I will run 1.2k to 1.5 k rpm and from 85 to 100 will be at 1.5 to 1.8k rpm.
Hi Kleo, thank you for these informative videos. Not sure why my original comment was deleted but hopefully this one won't be.
Just a few questions that I wanted to ask -
If I'm using a NZXT Z73 AIO to cool the CPU (10 total SL120 fans, 3x 3 daisy chained & 1 non daisy chained), would it be better to connect all 4 of the "separate" fans to the Uni Fan Hub and control everything via L Connect 3? If I were to do this method, the USB 2.0 header from the Uni Fan hub would control all of the fan speeds & RGB via L Connect right?
Or should I connect 1x 3 daisy chained SL120s for the AIO/rad cooler to the NZXT AIO itself to control it via the NZXT software and the rest of the 7 fans via the L Connect 3?
The PWM cables to control via motherboard is optional but will be connected just in case.
Orientation & case - Lian Li 011 Evo
Top Exhaust: w/ Z73 AIO 3x SL120
Rear Exhaust: 1x SL120

@@wonyoungsflag hi, it's kind of hard to explain here, I believe this will aid you imgur.com/gallery/wxrKnQd (if picture too small, please download it) read Part I then follow by Part II.
hello, thanks for your tutorial. do you know why the yellow and green digits don't show on my unigine heaven benchmark test run?
HEllo Shane Tan, welcome to my channel. those are OSD which you will need HWinfo64 and Riva Tuner to show those stats..
Thank you very much for your video. I bought the denier lian li galahad ii 360 trinity sl-inf. I am in Full Corsair. But I wanted to change brand.
So I took out my Corsair AIO and put in a Lian li AIO. But I've kept my Corsair QL series for the time being. So I have L connect and ICUE at the same time. No problem for the moment.
I'm waiting for my Uny fan revers :)
I was wondering why my Lian li peripherals were appearing in my taskbar. But when I saw your video, apparently everything's fine because you've got it too. With Corsair nothing appeared. I also use the NZXT.
On the other hand, I don't know why I get a little loading in the background every 5 minutes. If I cut L connect I don't get it anymore.
Hi Protect_Dreams, welcome to my channel, thank you for your valuable feedback. Now as for your background process, this I am not able to answer you but I do know that all argb programs make use of one common shared IRQ, which ended up applications might just grabbing for permission grant, this could be one of the cause.
Hi man I had a question about the sl120 v2 fans. I’m planning on not using lian Li controllers but razer chroma controller so I can control 10 of these fans from my motherboard and other software. If I daisy chained 3 fans by sliding them together x3 (3 at top, 3 at bottom and 3 at side then one fan at the rear), can I plug the 4 ARGB headers into one razer chroma controller and then the PWM cables to the motherboard sys fan header (cpu fan header for the fans on a radiator)?
Also, if I daisy chain 3 at a time by sliding them together will I be able to control each fans RGB individually through my motherboard or will my mobo only see the 3 daisy chained fans as one group(e.g. can I make one fan red, one blue, one green or can I only make all three one colour if they’re daisy chained).
Hi Power, welcome to my channel. I am only able to answer what I know. If you purchase the SL120 V2 fans as single pack. you can plus the fan's argb to the motherboard (covertor included) and the fan load to your motherboard fan header. AS for the Chroma controller, I have no experience on that but if it takes in normal argb 3pin 5volt standard argb connectors, then it should not be an issue. The only thing you need to take note is the load capacity. please check the specs of the Chroma controller, see how much ampere it can cater for and to check the SL120 V2 ampere too. As for the effects you are asking, this greatly depends on how Chroma design the argb effects and same applies your motherboard argb utility.
Quick question. I'm using this program for my strimer cables but I have a different brand of fans in my case. Is that why I don't have the options to change fan settings?
Hi Kirk Russell, welcome to my channel. you will only get to use the L-Connect 3 application when you have the uni controller, it does not work when other brand fans are just connected directly to the motherboard via the fan header or the argb header.
i am using galahad aio 360, i have connected the fan and rgb wires to the mobo. do i use the controller connection method before i can use the software to control?
hi DX Liu, welcome to my channel. if you are having uni fans on your galahad, it's good to have fan connectors to your motherboard and plus the fans to the uni controller, use L-Connect 3 app to control the argb effects.
So I just finished a build in the 011 d Evo. I've got 3 sl 120's that came with the Galahad 360 Aio, and I had some other fans in there that ran off their own controller with a remote. Just got 10 of the infinity fans in today, installed them, and then installed lconnect 3 but I don't seem to have very good control over the rgb. The new SL Infiniti controller has slots for the older style lights and the Galahad which I plugged in. I'm not sure exactly what I'm supposed to do. Do I need to unplug the Galahad and the sl120s from the new controller, install the L connect 3 software for the Infiniti fans and then try to plug in the older sl120s and galahad? Or am I gonna have to reinstall the sl120 controller that came with the Galahad fans and run with 2 controllers? I'll probably end up emailing you if that's okay. I'm notoriously bad at replying to comments on TH-cam.
Hello Elliott, welcome to my channel, I am fine with either, through here or through email. You have two chioces infact. 1st choice is to use both controllers using L-connect 3 or 2nd choice is to use the SL Infinity controller to control the ARGB of your galahad and the SL Fans, but your SL fan connector will have to go directly to the motther board (which is a good thing)
be it 1st or 2nd choice. you need to remove your old L-Connect app that support your SL120 fans. just make use of L-Connect 3. more details are explain in this video you are watching.
Hey sorry if you mention this in the video and I missed it but Id like to ask if I need the lconnect3 software running at all times for rgb lighting only. Im going to use something else for fans so can I open lconnect3 and choose my lights color and pattern and then close the lconnect3 and leave it closed forever?
Hello jeo leeman, welcome to my channel. You will need the L-Connect 3 to run at the background else your argb effect will be gone once you reboot or shut down the PC. what you can do is to minimize to your system tray.
Could you do a video or answer if you can connect additional rgb products to the Lian Li controllers? If someone has a non-lian li aio with 2 or 3 rgb fans (which means up to 4 possible rgb cables because older systems don't daisy chain), for instance, can you make Lian Li L-connect control them? What is the capacity, if able, of Lian Li controllers to control other rgb products? Thanks for this immensely helpful video. Every other video I looked for only talked about individual products and didn't really touch on combining multiple products.
Hi Christopher Chapman, welcome to my channel. As for non lian li argb products, you can plug but with a limitation. 1st the argb effects might not react the way you want it. 2nd you will need a coverter for it. same applies to argb strips you need the converter. I have a playlist of these lian li argb products which you might want to watch. th-cam.com/play/PLEW-b-2vYDdPo0NzHyeksx012c-nkDapm.html kindly note of the Dos and Donts video.
I have 10 SL-INF fans. 3 top fans for AIO, 3 in front, 3 side and 1 in the back. Now if I connect all of them to 1 controller... do I have plug the controller into SYS_FAN? I understand that top AIO fans will not turn on until I'm booted into Windows. I kind of wish them to turn on when PC is turned on. What are my options?
Hello Ivo Kurzemnieks, welcome to my channel. as what you've mentioned, you can choose to use the L-Connect 3 to control the RPM and argb, you need not have to plug anything to the motherboard fan header, unless you wanted to control the RPM via your motherboard UEFI or it's utility software. as for the boot up, there are no other options, you will have to load to windows inoder to kick start L-Connect 3.
Is this work with ST120 too because I have one but it only has a fan hub nad L-Connect 3 doesn't recognize the fans.
Hi David, welcome to my channel, if you have the argb kit from lian li, you can plus the ST120 to the uni hub. Just for your info, ST120 does not have a build in chip like the SL120. Therefore the effects triggered in L-Connect 3, your ST120
Might not perform the patterns you have expected.
Is it best to use L connect when all the rgb fans are connected to the 216 case controller? Or do I stick to motherboard rgb control?
Hi Steven Cooley, welcome to my channel, you are not able to use the L-Connect 3 without a controller or hub (Uni fan controller or Strimer Plus V2 controller), which specifically taking instructions from L-Connect 3 app. The case argb controller does not pick up the instructions from L-Connect 3 app, therefore you will have to connect it to your motherboard and to use the motherboard utlity to control the argb effects.
Hello Kleo, I recently updated my L-connect 3 together with my SL120 Infinity fans firmware. But ever since the updates everytime my pc restarts or turn on the L-connect doesn't save my rgb settings and it keeps reverting to rainbow effect each start up. Any clue?
Hi Grizworth, welcome to my channel. everytime you update the L-Connect 3 app, it will first remove the necessary settings and bring back to default. Best way to counter this is to export what you have set, so once you lose your profile, you can import it in. There is an import or export button at your SL Inifinity dash board in L-Connect when you set the argb effects lian-li.com/l-connect3/l3-manual_backup/#elementor-toc__heading-anchor-3
Great video👍! I do have one question if you can help me: can I connect 2 L-connect-3 hubs (3 fans in each controler) and a strimer v2 hub (24-pin cable and 8-pin gpu cable) into a single ARGB header on the motherboard with a splitter? Or would that be to much for the header?
Hi Sebastian Oana, welcome to my channel. Yes you can do that as all the argb devices are drawing current from it's controller. Just make sure that the sata source are plug to your various lian li controllers.
Awesome, thanks!!😊
@@seb9925 most welcome. All the best with your build too 😉
Nice Video first of all :) I still got problems tho with my uni fans sl infinity. They work fine and rgb is working but i cant use the blue rgb modes (heart beat, heart beat runaway, disco,...) in the l-connect 3 software. You got any Idea to fix that? Its all Updated aswell.
hi Nico, welcome to my channel. you might want to try turn off your PC, remove the PSU plug for 45 seconds, plug back the plug and turn on your PC. see if that works. if not, have you try reseat the cable between the fans and the uni controller and also the USB connector between the uni controller to your motherboard? if still does not work, do you have another USB Header on your motherboard, try swaping it.
Hi Kleo Yan, I have the old strimmers types (Qty 2) and wonder if I can plug them into a new UNI fan SL-INF 120 controller which has no fans plugged into it, as I want to try and control all my lighting through Connect 3. I already have the Galahad II pump AIO controller in my system but all the ports are full with fans and the pump. Can I use a second controller to run my strimmers? I am stuck with this problem on how to add my strimmers. I hope you can help. or should I purchase the new Lian Li Strimer Plus V2 24-Pin ARGB Motherboard Extension Cable and Lian Li Strimer Plus V2 Triple 8-pin ARGB GPU Extension Cable which come with a controller?
Hi Mal Anderson, welcome to my channel. for your case, you will need a strimer plus V2 controller (www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004239607087.html?) and does your motherboard have another USB 2.0 header? normally a board is equip with 2. if both are used up, you will need a USB Splitter (www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005121350909.html)
thank you so much, one question please, i connected the strimer controller to an usb3 to usb2 adapter and the adapter is connected to my usb3 on the motherboard, and i can't see the controller under l-connect 3... it's because of the usb3 to usb2 adapter?
Hello my stuff, welcome to my channel, I have a few question have you tried to plug your strimer plus controller directly to the USB 2.0 header of your motherboard? and btw which adaptor are you using? it could be insufficient power on the adaptor.
Hi again Kleo, I had a question on how to connect the lian li uni fans sl infinity to my motherboard, I’m using an MSI Mag b550 wifi max motherboard and it only has 2 argb headers. One at the bottom of the mobo and 1 at the top i plan on using the galahad 2 trinity on the side of the case which is the lian li o11 vision, 3 fans at the bottom and 2 on the rear as exhaust, i need help as to how im going to connect these fans into the argb headers on the motherboard and have no clue. Would there be an option of not plugging these in at all and still having the fans rgb with the lian li l-connect 3 or is it mandatory to plug all of these fans in. Sorry if this is long im just very very confused and this is also my first build.
Hi Fisnik Hoxha, welcome back. Your Uni fans on the Uni controller, you do not need to plug it to your motherboard ARGB header. You can use the L-Connect 3 app to control the Uni fans. So that will save your issue.
Can I connect my stimmers to my SL hub? And just use one hub instead of two? Also I have the lian li 216 case how do I get my front fans to sync?
Hi cookiecook1000, welcome to my channel. It’s good that you asked. Kindly do not do that. Strimer plus draws a lot of ampere, that’s why it has its own controller / hub.
As for the 216 fan ARGB. There are no dedicated dash board in l-connect 3 app but you can plug to any Uni controller that has a sync 2 and 4 port.
I have “3” 3 pack infinity fans so 9 total. I use only one hub instead of 3 hubs. Would that be why l connect isn’t recognizing my fans ? I have the strimmer v2 on its on hub as well but nothing pops up in the l connect 3. Everything does light up and work but not recognizing in the software. I’m running gigabyte x570 master
Hi TheLop3z, welcome to my channel, did your OS detact the uni controller? that will be the first part. maybe go through these steps and kindly do not miss any of the steps.
1) Make sure your motherboard bios is up to date, please check on your motherboard manufacture website, under support > bios and drivers. See if there are issues with USB and do they have a fix. If there are, kindly update those bios firmware version.
2) Make sure your chipset driver for your motherboard is up to date! For AMD will be at www.amd.com/en/support for Intel will be Intel Driver & Support Assistant Intel DSA www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html
3) Remove all argb apps as for your case is Gigabyte fushion, use Revo uninstaller ( www.revouninstaller.com/ ). Revo uninstaller will remove all unwanted files / folder / registry in your system. Illustration to use revo uninstaller th-cam.com/video/uMgUYiakpxM/w-d-xo.html
4) Shutdown your PC, unplug the PSU cable from your AC outlet. Press the power switch twice to discharge all current that your motherboard is holding. Leave it for 45 second
5) While waiting, disconnect all devices that are connected to your motherboard (front / back IO). Leave only your Keyboard, Mouse , Monitor and Ethernet (If you have) connected directly to your motherboard.
If your monitor has a KVM build-in, remove the USB cable from your monitor to your motherboard USB socket. If your mouse and keyboard are connected to your monitor, please remove them and plug them directly to your motherboard instead.
6) Plug only one Uni controller or Strimer Plus V2 controller. If its for Uni Fan (SL/AL) use only 3 fans to an output of the uni controller.
7) Plug the power cable and turn on your PC
8) Go to your Device Manager, look under Universal Serial Bus Devices, make sure you see the Lian Li uni / strimer plus V2 controller.
9) Install the L-Connect 3 app only lian-li.com/l-connect3/ (current version 1.3.16)
10) After installation, run L-Connect 3, check under Setting > General > make sure Auto-Run on Boot and Minimized L-Connect 3 to system tray at close are ON.
11) Reboot your system.
12) First thing you need, go to device manager and see if the Lian Li controller is listed, next open up the L-Connect 3 app. Check if there is a need to update firmware to your controller. Go to Settings > Update, under Device F/W version, click on Update Check, download and install the firmware. Make sure the firmware is completed. Do a check on device manager and make sure the Lian Li controller is listed.
13) On L-Connect 3 dashboard, check if the CPU and GPU readings are reacting, you might want to test it using some benchmark programs. If there are reaction, play with the PWM and argb functions. If it does not work, skip step 14) and proceed step 16)
14) If Single controller works, shutdown your pc, connect uni fan set of 3 to your output of your uni controller. Do it small steps at a time to hook up your sets of fans. do not do all in one go. If successful and you have a second controller, proceed small step at a time again.
15) Slowly plug back your USB devices (Headset, Microphone, Printer, USB Capture Card and etc). At any point of time as you add those devices one at a time, if L-Connect 3 become unresponsive. This tells you that there power is insufficient to power up more USB Devices. Whatever USB port on your motherboard, there is a limitation as the current are shared across the board, be it front or back I/O and the internal USB Header. You might need to get a Internal USB Hub that comes with a Sata Power source to the Internal USB Hub. (Disclaimer, buying a internal usb hub might or might not resolve this issue, purchase at your own expenses)
16) If it does not work, report your issues to Lian li Tech Support. There is a in build log ticketing system in L-Connect 3 app. this is what you need to do. Go to Settings > Support > Click on “Download log” place a filename and choose a destination drive to save the log file. Next click on “Report” it will take you to Lian Li Tech Support FAQ. Fill up the form and upload the log which is a zip file.
Hey i really enjoyed the detailed explanation, I just finished my new build and have installed 9 Tl fans on my pc, 3 lcd on the side 3 tl led at the bottom and 3 tl led at the top, so i replaced the standard fans that came with the lian li galahad lcd aio with 3 tl fans instead and connected them into the controller, so i am using 3 ports, however the three top fans are not lighting up or showing as connected in the software but they are spinning and working, on the l3 connect software it shows port 2 and 3 fans which are the ones at the bottom and the lcd fans on the side and it also shows the aio too. i been trying to find out why this is and i have checked everywhere but im not sure why this is the case, any information or help would be appreciated so much 🙏🏻
Hi adz_khr, welcome to my channel. I would advise you to do this.
- Uninstall L-Connect 3 app, using revo uninstaller, ( www.revouninstaller.com/ ). Revo uninstaller will remove all unwanted files / folder / registry in your system. Illustration to use revo uninstaller th-cam.com/video/uMgUYiakpxM/w-d-xo.html
- Next turn off your pc and do the connection as listed below.
a) Connect your daisy chained 3 x TL LED fans (Radiator Top) to port 1
b) Connect your daisy chained 3 x TL LCD fans (Side) to port 2 (TL LCD fans will only work from port 2 to port 4, it does not work with port 1)
c) Connect your daisy chained 3 x TL LED fans (bottom) to port 3
Once you have done the connection above. Boot up your pc, check on device manager to see if you are able to see the TL Controller listed under Universal Serial Bus Devices. Next install L-Connect 3 app, check for firmware updates. Test your fans and TL LCD again.
Hi Kleo, I'm about to start building my PC using an ASUS Z790-Pro MB, with all Lian Li fans and an AIO cooler. My question is about Aura Sync and enabling the Lian Li fans to use Aura sync, rather than L-Connect 3. Is that possible through the L-connect 3 settings? Thanks, Mark.
Hi Mark Howell, welcome to my channel. Yes you can do that, you will still need the Uni control and L-Connect-3 though. Also make sure to connect the 3pin 5V ARGB cable between the Uni controller to your motherboard ARGB header. Once you did these, in l-connect you have to set sync to motherboard under Quick/Sync lighting menu and enable sync to motherboard.
That is exactly what I need to know. In my case, I will have 2 controllers, 1 for a 3 pack of fans, and 1 for the AIO, so as long as both of those are connected to an ARGB header, I should be good? Thank you for the quick reply, I appreciate it.@@KleoYan
@@markhowell183 my pleasure and you are most welcome. Yes that’s correct. All the best with your build too. 😉
do you use an argb splitter for the 4 different controllers? or do you not need to plug in the argb connector?
Hello Nick Swan, welcome to my channel. If you want to control the argb through your motherboard software, then the argb connector should be in place, else if you want full control by L-Connect 3 app. You do not need to plug the argb connector between the uni controller to your motherboard argb header.

Hello Deadpoolisdead, welcome to my channel. You can give it a try as my experience are with multiple controllers.
Hello, can i just directly plug my SL-INF fans into the motherboard without the UNI controller? Will L-Connect still be able to control the RGB?
Hello Forested. Welcome to my channel. L-Connect 3 app will not be able to control your SL INF fans with the Uni controller. Unless you don’t use L-Connect 3 app and to make use of motherboard ARGB app, then connect them directly to your motherboard and please take note of the ampere when you do that. Check your motherboard menu what’s the max load for ARGB and Fan load of each header.
@@KleoYan Hello, thanks for your reply. My motherboard is the Gigabyte Z790 Aero G. Will it be able to control the RGB simultaneously with it as well? Also, is it okay to buy ARGB splitter extension cables for my fans? (3+3+1+3 cooler)?
@@forested I would advise you to use the Uni controller but if you do not want to. Get a ARGB hub with power supplied from your PSU. Getting an ARGB splitter for the quantity of fans plus your other ARGB devices. The motherboard ARGB header will not be able to provide the ARGB load.

Only problem I’m having is the high CPU usage due to the L-Connect. Also is it normal for the fan to be shown as a removable device in the taskbar tray?
Hello Hanies, welcome to my channel. High useage of CPU can be caused by alot of resources sharing the same IRQ as the usb devices you have used or it could be other causes like background apps that make use shared program code that interfer with your L-Connect app. I am not able to tell you which, you will need to figure out yourself. for a start if you have alot USB connecting device, remove them all and slowly plug one at a time so see if it does take up the system resource which is shared with your L-Connect 3 app. (Excluding Keyboard and Mouse)
@@KleoYan Thanks for the reply, I’ll have to try that. I had to use a USB hub as I have the Corsair LCD pump and Commander Core inside the case too.
@@haies09 ok that might be the issue. you have two devices that runs argb program at the background, both are fighting for rigths as both make use of the same IRQ, therefore the conflict might start from there. so something which you will need to take note on... all the best with your troubleshooting.
Hey im having 1 issue, I have 2 uni hub sl v2 connected and everything is working but I cant get the moving light effects to sync properly. Each controller's fans moves separately, any way to have my fans moving rgb effects move as if they are all one units?
Hi joe leeman, welcome to my channel. If you are using SL V2, your fans can do bridging which you can use 1 controller instead of two. this way you can sync up all the argb effects. For two control unit, it will not be able to do so. you can view this video on bridging th-cam.com/video/SDXN4mfE6ro/w-d-xo.html
only one of my fan cables is being picked up in my device manager when i have three but i know the other two sets of fans are connected as the fan motor is warm when my pcs on but there is no rgb and there not spinning and they arnt being detected by anything, any ideas? also im using the infinity fans with the L connect 3 software
hello Slty, try one fan at a time to test all your fans out. once done, daisy chain 2 and test out the port. if ok add one more. then continue next set. it could be a connection issue. normally when I test uni fans, I always do my basics and not just plug everything in and expect it to work mircales and sometimes there are leakage somewhere. safest way is to test them individually and step by step move up. Take it slow and easy.
Really nice video! I will install soon several tl lcd + normal ones so if i understood everything (i am French :D) i dont need to use pwm and argb 5v ports because usb will do the job if i go through Lconnect3, right ? Thank you very much

Hi Mark A, thank you for your feedback. I will write to Lian Li and see what they can do about this.
@KleoYan Thanks for the awesome video, but I have one question. How do I connect more RGB cables ? The motherboards have mostly 3x 5vARGB connectors. So here is my situation.
O11D EVO RGB + GA II TRINITY with UNI FAN SL-INF + UNI FAN TL LCD
Total: 4x 5V ARGB and 3x USB
USB through the hub I get it, but RGB ? Thanks for any advice and help :)
Hi Milan Hron, welcome to my channel. If you do not need to use other ARGB software besides L-Connect 3, you dont need to plug the argb connector from the controllers to your motherboard argb headers. But if you need it.. you can always get a 3pin 5v ARGB splitter as the drawing ampere of all Lian Li ARGB products are through it's controllers.
So to power up the cables, use the argb, and the l connect software I just have to connect the usb 2.0 header to the motherboard? There is a cable that is optional for motherboard sync and I don’t have that plugged in because I am not sure what it does. Is it alright to leave it unplugged?
Hi Rain Drop Drop Top, welcome to my channel. This video might assist you though it’s old content but it’s the fundamental of how uni fan works th-cam.com/video/Rm2emeyMUAk/w-d-xo.html . You are not wrong when you’ve said just to connect these inorder for it to work that is to connect the sata cable from the psu to the uni controller, the usb cable between the motherboard to the uni controller and you don’t have to plug the cable that goes to your mother fan header and argb header.

Hello Alpha416 Game, welcome to my channel, pardon me. which NZXT Hub are you referring to? Is it the one shown in this video? the NZXT Internal USB 3.0 Hub. if it is.. no issue as power drawn from the uni fans are from it's uni controller and the Strimer Plus V2 from it's controller.
how did you connect the strimer plus lighting ? it doesn't show to me
Hi M52, welcome to my channel. I have connected the strimer plus V2 to it's controller which is connected via a USB cable to the motherboard. if you do this correctly, your device manager in windows will show the strimer plus controller.
When is Lian Li going to release a multi pack version with controllers of thr SLINF140 fans in the US, the product has been released for 3 months now, but doesn’t seem to be showing up on any websites, AliExpress, or even ebay.
Hello Marc West, welcome to my channel. I believe is due to shipment delays as due to holidays over at China and Taiwan (Lunar New Year).

just one quick issue I have, I'm unable to control my fans with L-Connect 3 at all - I only plugged in the standard USB cable + SATA and no response from when I make changes in L-Connect. It's able to acknowledge my controller and fans, so everything is connected. Just not sure why the settings aren't applying from L-Connect.
moreover, L-Connect 3 is up to date, and so is the firmware! Also checked Device Manager, and didn't see any exclamation marks or issues
@@dubchung hi welcome to my channel, did your temperature in l-connect 3 respond when u do some benchmark. If your temperature readings do not move that could be the issue.
same issue here. did you manage to fix this yet?
Have the sl fans and strimers V2 when i boot up my pc the fans rgb will stay the color that I wanted them to sync up to but my strimers will always revert to the default rainbow but once I login it the strimers will sync to what I want any fix for this
Hi Matthew Holland, welcome back, this I do notice too. But mine is slightly different as compared to yours. All my fans and strimer plus v2 will be in rainbow and will only change with windows is booted up with the l-Connect 3 auto loaded. Will seek lian li support on this. I lcd I do have a fit, will let you know.
Thanks for mentioning the different controllers. Me trying to plug an SL-INF reverse fan into a controller didn't work for me. Looks like my best bet is it is the wrong controller.
Lian Li has great products. Terrible in showing how to connect fans, and what is required.
Hi Scott Quayle, welcome to my channel and I am glad this content did aid you. Thank you for your feedback and all the best with your build too 😉
hey @kleo yan do u know why my pc won’t connect to wifi so i can update the bios ?
Hi Nicholas Him, do you happened to have another PC or smart phone devices? If those are able to connect to your wifi, you might want to forget the wifi on your troubled pc. If not, get the wifi driver from then motherboard manufacturer and install it. See if that helps.
If you’re using the usb connectors with controller, do you have to use the RGB and fan header connector as well?
Hi DpHo888, welcome to my channel. nope you dont have to connect the argb or pwm connector between the hub and motherboard headers. Unless you intend to make use of motherboard utlity to control the fan's pwm and argb effects.
Thank you. I plan on using the L connect 3 as you did in video. This is a relief! Thanks for your video, it’s very informative!
@@DpHo888 you are most welcome and all the best with your build. 😉
Hi! I'm kind of new on what pc building refers, i have builded a full ROG pc, but i installed a galahad 360 and 4 SL and 2 strimer plus. I'm having troubles to make the argb works on "mb lightning sync", could anyone give an advice to solve that issue?
Hi Eduardo Santos, welcome to my channel. does your SL Fan come with a uni controller? Also which strimer plus version did you purchase? As I need to know exactly which lian li products you are using, else can't give you a proper answer or help.
Hello man, great video bro. Can you tell me if I can control the argbs of the lian li infinity fans without connecting the controller to the usb connection, just with the argb connector on the motherboard?
Hi Lucas Duran, welcome to my channel. You can do that with a individual pack. If you get the tripple pack, it will not be possible. If you do get individual pack, make sure not to daisy chianed more than 3 fans to each of your motherboard fan header, as each of your motherboard fan headers have a load limitation.
@@KleoYan In this case, I will need a USB extender for the motherboard, right?
@@lucasduran6753 it greatly depends on how many controller you intend to plug to your motherboard, but if you do need a usb extender, I would advise you to get this instead of the NZXT internal hub. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005121350909.html
I have the 12vhpwr v2 strimer and the 24 pin v2 strimer. Problem is i cant even get them to light up or even show up in l-connect 3. Are they not compatible?
Hi JP Kix, welcome to my channel. Do a basic check, are you able to see the controller under device manager? if yes, you might want to do a manul firmware update. You might want to refer to this content th-cam.com/video/CgvuUFeff8U/w-d-xo.html I do understand is lenghtly but take your time to digest and to understand how it works.
@@KleoYan when i check under "device manager, the only things to show up are "6K7750"
"Aura LED Controller"
"NZXT Kraken Elite"
So if i connect 2 unifan hubs and 1 for the strimercables on the nzxt hub with all the sata cables correctly the Lian li software will detect the 3 controllers without any issues right?
Hi Michael Stark, welcome to my channel. That is correct., just a side note, do it in a way, one piece at a time and to test them on l-connect 3 applications. If you follow the steps in this video, you will get all running at no time.
Thank you so much for the answer, video really well done. So I'll add one controller at a time and do the derivative updates step by step. Hope to fit the controllers inside the Lian Li Dynamic EVO 😂😅
@@michealstark6091 you are most welcome and thank you for the compliment. All the best with your build. 😉
man the SL120 before got a cable connecting the other fan the newer unify one got none hey
Hi Deter Gilapay, welcome back. All uni fans in future will be in this way. Unless getting individual pack.
Doesn’t Windows 10 automatically download chipset drivers for you during updates?
Hello Haises 09. Welcome back. Both 10 and 11 does that but I prefer to check on AMD and Intel site as they are more uptodate.
I was having issues with getting Lconnect to see the fans. Turns out my NZXT mobo came with a USB splitter, and that was causing problems. Fans still worked at full speed, but no control until I got rid of that splitter.
Hi Qix, welcome to my channel and thank you for sharing your experience with us, greatly appreciated it. Are your uni fans working properly now?
can someone please help me with this i have everything plugged in to the psu the sata cables and downloaded l connect software and the fans turn on and spin but they dont light up and im not sure why
Hi OneBustedPimple, welcome to my channel, I like to ask if you did see the lian li controllers listed in your windows os, under device managment? and when you launch L-Connect 3 app, does it reflect all the temperature stats?
Hi, awesome video but I have a question, I got infinity fans and how can I control them using motherboard bios? As I see an argb port but not pwm port so I'm confused on how to do it, I got an asus motherboard.
Hi Vigilante, welcome to my channel. if you have the argb and fan cable connected between your uni fan controller / hub to your motherboard, in L-Connect 3 app, set to motherboard mode on at Quick Sync Lighting. as for your motherboard to control, you might need your motherboard utitlity, example Armory Crate for Asus, Mystic for MSI or Fushion for Gigabyte or Ploychrome for ASRock.
@Kleo Yan yes i already did that, thanks for the reply.
@@vigilante9259 you are most welcome.
Could you make a video on how to install these fans on an AIO of some other brand?
Hi Kid A, welcome to my channel, I am unsure what you are looking for. plus I do not have all the aios and such. if you are referring to Corsair and NXZT. do pardon me, I have tried asking but they have not reply on my request. the only stuff I have are here. imgur.com/gallery/zEKCkRf or imgur.com/gallery/wxrKnQd
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.
Hi I think I have answered your question. Nope they have to work with their own uni controller.
@@KleoYan do you have any discord i want to show you there is this USB hub extension for motherboard is it work or not.
@@CallMeFearS nope I dont use discord. sorry, you can send me to my email at godzylatech@gmail.com
Is the fan controller suitable Lian Li Uni Fan SL120 V2, to the fans LIAN LI UNI FAN SL-INF 120 REVERCE BLADE? Thank you.
Hi Сергей Киселёв, for the SL 120 V2 controller, there is a sync port 2 and 4 which you can use to plug the SL-Inf 120 reverse fans but the effect will not be ideal. It will be better to use the SL-Inf 120 Reverse with the SL-Inf controller.
Thank you@@KleoYan
@@sagittarius_rf you are most welcome and all the best for your build 😉
Very helpful great Chanel 👍, just one question pls, I build a pc for a week ago in a lian li 011 dynamic evo, I've got 3 uni fan sl120 on bottom for intake and 3 on the side for intake, I'm using the asus rog ryujin 2 360 AIO, now i ordered another 3 uni fan sl120 want to do a push/pull config with the ROG ryujin fans can you pls tell me where i should connect the fans?
Hi Sergey.Z, welcome to my channel. if it's SL fans and not SL infinity, I will do this. to plug SL fan's PWM directly to your motherboard and plus the argb to the uni controller. In the even if the uni controller fail, at least you know your fans are still running to cool the radiator. as for your ryujin, let it's own controller to control the argb effects.
@@KleoYan thank you very much for the reply, yes right now I've got nothing connected to my CPU FAN or AIO PUMP , should i connect the new sl120's directly to my CPU FAN or PUMP?
@@sergey.z8843 yes you should. As mentioned only leave the argb connector to the uni controller. The rest like aio pump or fans (rpm) directly to your motherboard fan or aio pump header. This is for safety reason. All the best with your build.
@@KleoYan thank you very much, and keep up this great work👍.
@@sergey.z8843 you are most welcome. All the best buddy 👍😉
Hey Kleo, I had a thought about Argb Fans aesthetics. While I was building a new pc project I thought what if I could buy Argb fans with reverse flow for aesthetics. I do understand about fan blade directional pitch. Just a thought. Maybe to difficult to manufacture.
Thanks, Keep up with your great video content
Hi Ya Jim Hamilton, welcome back 😉you have mentioned this before and yup. it will be real cool if it's possible to do that and you are absolutely right. If the coil allows reverse directly, the fan blade have to be altered too. Anyway, if you do come out with a method. do share with us. once again thank you for your support and to have vist my channel again.
i just installed the latest lian LI RGB fan inifinity the problem is the application after boot wont minimize by itself
Hello Dexter Gilapay, welcome back. On L-Connect 3, go to settings where you have the minimise when closing windows. Unchecked that and uncheck auto run. With the l-connect 3 app display still on. Shut down your pc. Boot it up again. Then launch l-connect 3 app. Enable back the two functions and still having the l-connect 3 on, shut down your pc again. Then turn it back on. I did have the same issue like yours and I did that. Give it a try.
i have a question about Lian li Galahad AIO LCD infinity. the L connect 3 is only allowing me to set rgb loop number to 50 max. and my 3rd fan in aio only lights 1/3 of the side rgb pannels. Do you know how to fix it?
Hi Axie 101, welcome to my channel. Just to check. Are you able to control the ARGB effects and to control the lcd? As for the Inf 120 fans where do you plug it?
@@KleoYan I did not build the pc. I am able to control argb effects and lcd.
@@axie1019 I see, reason I asked is. For the SL-INF version of the GA II LCD. It comes with the Uni controller. Therefore you need to have two usb cable plug to the motherboard usb 2.0 header. I would advise you to go back to the person who build your pc to troubleshoot for you. Or check on L-Connect 3 app. Under settings and devices. Are the fans connected to the controller all highlighted or?
I need your help., I was an early adopter to the SL fans, I can no longer control the fan colors. when I update the software to the L connect 3, it tells me to update but it fails every time and asks me to update, but then it tells me to manually update, it asks for a password which I do not know where to get. any thoughts? right now my fans are rainbow vomit
Hello Ryan Johnsen, welcome to my channel, kindly do the manual firmware update lian-li.com/l-connect3/L3_update_manually/ password lianli
My firmware won’t update on my SL120 fans I have v1.2 but it says v1.8 is available but says “unsuccessful”, then the device disappears and pops back up
Hi craigchrist360, welcome to my channel. Try update firmware manually lian-li.com/l-connect3/L3_update_manually/
Hi there, amazing video man. I have an enquiry tho, I am currently using the lian li GA (II) trinity. Under fan/pump profile (SL-Inf controller01), the stats seem to reflect that Fan: StdSP is at 0rpm but pump: pwm is working around 2500 rpm. All my fans seem to be spinning tho, so im wondering if the reflected 0rpm for fans is normal? or should i be doing something about it? I really appreciate any help I can get HAHAH.
Hi spicykimchi, welcome to my channel. If you have plug your radiator fans to the AIO pump, it should show the RPM. maybe this video will aid you. th-cam.com/video/57cxoeEvQKU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zbHewWJ8ScrGTWb8&t=2486
does having l-connect 3 affect pc fps performance like other rgb software?
Hello Box, welcome to my channel, best to optimise a pc is not to have argb, get performance case fans and cooler.. without any background running apps you will optimize more system performance. Which this is the truth. Once you start to use any software that uses background process. your FPS will slightly drop.
With L connect can you set fans to 0% when temps are low?
Hello MaxAltair, welcome to my channel. Yes you can.
Can I connect Deepcool Castle 360EX ARGB pump rgb cable to lian li uni hub and use L connect to control the pump rgb light?
Hi gan shengkai, welcome to my channel. If you have the convertor, I dont see why not. but do note if you plug your aio pump argb, dont expect to have a specific pattern to it. as what you are connected to on this uni controller are meant for the effects for the uni fans.
@@KleoYan Thanks for the reply!! Why need a convertor? Is it because not universal unless I use Galahad aio pump?
I decided to use DeepCool Castle 360EX A-RGB and change all the fans to Uni fans. I know some software can sync all the Uni fans and pump RGB but don't know whether the L-connect works or it only can control the Uni fans except the Deepcool pump RGB.
@@ganshengkai7060 for deepcool the argb is a standard connector, the uni controller is not. thats why you need a coverter. as for other application to controll, you can do that, but you will still need the L-Connect application installed and to set to by pass, in order for you to use other application to control the argb effects. kindly do not ask me how it's being done on other argb application or controller, as I only focus on Uni fans and it's controller, plus i do not have other controllers to explain. thank you!
What if you are running two GPU's? How does L connect detect that?
Hi Claus Bohm, welcome to my channel. If you are using 2 x GPU, you will need two strimer plus V2 controllers and yes L-Connect does detect both V2 controllers with separate controls on the L-Connect 3 application.
