@@TheProvokedPrawn I get that but everything 'wireless' literally has wires, it's a bit of a misnomer! And that massive dongle isn't exactly elegant, it potentially uses/blocks three ports with that footprint. Moan moan hah. Good content though
@@lancealex382 yeah agreed. It's a bit big. I'd personally put it internally and hide it away and then it's not wireless. They should have just called them the User Friendly Unifans or something. Much simpler than previous models.
I wish these had come out a year ago. These are legit competition for the icue link system imo and also have Lian Li's superior lighting and aesthetics.
I was wondering about where would the power come from if the fans were not directly connected to the motherboard in other words totally wireless. It’s actually the controller which is now connected to the motherboard via USB port instead of with SATA port inside the chassis, but the controller doesn’t only serves the purpose of controlling speed and lighting, it also simplifies the cable management where you connect all of the fans to it and a single wire running from your controller to the motherboard.
Would you please consider making a buyer’s guide / overview covering all of the different Lian Li RGB case fans as there are so many different models it’s hard to know what the actual difference is between a lot of them. Thank you for your consideration.
finally an actual competition to corsair's icue link.. i've been hearing people bragging about Lian-Li UNI for ages and bashing against Corsair's iCUE link, completely disregarding the fact that iCUE link was a far superior system to Lian-Li's original UNI fans, now with these UNI "Wireless" fans the comparison can be made, and in all regards only now Lian-Li actually offers a direct competitor to Corsair's iCUE Link... why didn't they went in this approach when they initially introduced their UNI ecosystem? its so much better than whatever the heck they were doing originally...
To each their own I guess, the amount of time I spend looking at my PC, I don't think it's worth spending almost £300 on 10 RGB fans, when I can get 10 P12's for just over £50. Not to mention you will have to have more background software running which will probably mean no Linux support. Although I will admit, the reverse fans being the same price as the standard ones is nice :)
i'm really not sure who these are for? both taking up a USB slot on your motherboard AND having MORE wires coming out the front of your motherboard than you would with a hub making it look arguably more messy? it seems backwards lol
Thinking of buying these fans and the vision compact seen online people are having issues with high CPU usage is this still an issue or has it been resolved
Lian Li products, and especially their software, has failed me almost every time. So much so that my next pc upgrade will be dark with no rgb. I am sick and tired of third party jankiness when it comes to trying to get it to work.
@@TheProvokedPrawn Trinity II 360 performance AIO pump failed and then the replacement failed, Oringial Galahad 360 AIO the fans crapped out 2 months after purchase, on first generation SL120 fans bearings went out on two of them, had to replace strimmer controller on the original strimmer because it stopped working, controller on the SL120 V2 fans I purchase to replace the original SL120's bricked itself after the software stopped working, the reversible fans I purchased had one of the fans frozen and it wouldn't spin, the OX11 D XL case I purchased had a manufacturing flaw and half the screw holes would not accept the screws, the software, while I have been able to get it to work sometimes, often would just decide to not work anymore - deleting, reinstalling, nothing made it better. At this point i still have the SL120 v2 fans in the case and my strimmers but I can't turn the lights on...the software just refuses to work and I have tried so many versions of it and nothing fixes it. I am now looking at just getting a dark case and putting in non-rgb support hardware.
I have never had issues with Lian li either their software or their fans. I am going with white fans on my next build here soon with the MSI project zero
Corsair's iCue Link is premium and the top end includes temp sensors which make them very smart. However I prefer the simple aesthetic of Lian Li's Infinity fans personally.
I noticed that when editing but it's because I hadn't fully slotted them together. When they're installed properly they do. It was just my incompetence
Could this work with windows dynamic lighting or signalrgb? I'll be getting a partner for my sl 120 on a 240mm gpu coller but want to maintain the rgb.
They have had linking fans for a long time now. The screens may be new... and these are certainly not wireless... There is a wire attached to the fan bank ffs.
No, the people writing that wireless needs to be redefined. We are talking power here. Wireless devices still need to be powered. The connectivity is wireless, not the power.
i just got the qx120 corsair fans to make a build in The lian li O11D EVO RGB Like You Did. should i return them and go with lian li wireless @The Provoked Prawn
@@TheProvokedPrawn alright yeah i spent the money on corsair fans i'll give them a shot they not cheap that's for sure $1000 AUD for 2 3packs + 1 single + Corsair iCUE LINK H150i LCD Liquid CPU Cooler

It's a wireless controller basically

So, they came out with a new Wire Tying Bracket for their new, Wireless Fans.. Cool, got it 😅.
Great video, as always, thank you!
Thanks for watching
Nice video. These fans are getting nuts!
Thanks for watching
Im pretty sure I saw wires. or im just seeing things?
Don't worry. If you ride a hoverboard, the wires will disappear.
It even has some sort of new wire holding bracket. I'm just as lost.

Both have their benefits for sure
I see the wires. They're not wireless. 2 wires ≠ wireless.
I bought SL inf for 12 fans and it's already outdated because I'm waiting for the Core Ultra 9 build... This is insane 🤣
Love how your channel logo goes on it 😂
Thanks 🤣

They need to stop using false advertising. “tubeless" aio, wireless fans 🤦♂️
What a sexy push pull setup you have there.
How kind of you to notice 🤣
@@TheProvokedPrawn I want to move my 14900k and 4090 into an 011d some day for push pull.
Wireless but makes you have multiple cords going to your fan headers on your motherboard. Way to go LIAN-Li 😂. I’ll wait for Corsair’s version.
Well, they can be connected to sata power instead. You can't have a truly wireless fan anyway
Why did they take them down off the stores? I saw them in Newegg and now they aren’t there
I bought a very nice wireless TV the other day. Its crazy. I can totally control everything with a remote. There are no buttons on the TV. Incredible
Thanks for sharing
How much air flow??? CFM & Static pressure??? The hub takes up a lot of fan blade, so they should reduce fan performance.
For LCD ones yeah, it's mostly show. Others are good.
MAX. AIR PRESSURE 2.4 mmH2O (Maximum)
MAX. AIRFLOW 50.08 CFM (Maximum)
ACOUSTIC NOISE 29.5 dBA (Maximum)

But where to buy them, cause im having issues with my current Lian Li fans, and I think this may just be the problem fixer I need.
i'm really not sure who these are for? both taking up a USB slot on your motherboard AND having MORE wires coming out the front of your motherboard than you would with a hub making it look arguably more messy? it seems backwards lol
You can just use the sata power splitter for power instead and a usb hub
Huh, if these work without needing a 5v RGB header just like Icue Link then I might grab these

Hmm thought they were top end was about to go all in, I'll have to research more.
I've never had a problem and run Lian Li Infinity fans in my daily driver with no issues. People have different experiences naturally.
Sounds like a personal problem.

ah i see so the power comes from starlink?
do you prefer corsair or lian li cooling options better?

A potential conflict could be two PCs in close proximity to each other. Good idea otherwise.
Maybe? Not tried that so it would be guesswork. I wonder how many people have them that close.
@@TheProvokedPrawn I have two PCs on my desk: one on each side. Granted their about 4 feet apart; but, I would hope the range is very small.
They also don’t line up when connected as showed clearly in this video

I haven't tried and need to test that as people keep asking.
are they the same fans design wise as the hydroshift TL ones or would I need to buy matching to fit the aestethics
You have watched the video right? You can physically see the difference between the two
They are launching a “fanless” hydroshift - which I presume is for the purpose of incorporating these new wireless fans 👍
We really do not need a distillery in every fan lol
Distillery?
How do they get power?
I assume you're being sarcastic, but in case you aren't it's from motherboard fan headers OR sata power from the psu
@@TheProvokedPrawn Oh I thought they were wireless 🤷♂
@@OGTH-camEnjoyer ah so it was sarcasm 🤣
They have had linking fans for a long time now. The screens may be new... and these are certainly not wireless... There is a wire attached to the fan bank ffs.
lol but you will always need power least they have cut down wires big time
PCs are becoming more about the hardware than what you actually use it for and don’t get me started how crap windows is
Any idea when we will get our hands on 140mm fans?? All I see are 120’s?
I'm afraid I don't know.
Overpriced af. Keep up the great work bro and stay safe.
Doesn’t a wireless speaker need to be plugged in for power? The RGB is wireless, you still need to power these. Don’t be dumb.
Me?
