I was told when doing PC research that the way you have the AIO is actually better then on top but not by a lot but still better that most people just put it on top for aesthetic looks.
First I'd like to say how much your vids have helped me in my Lian Li EVO XL build. Everything was coming together until I got the Lian LI LCD cooler installed, I have had a not so user friendly experience with this and L-Connect3 working the way it is supposed to. After two very frustrating weeks of trying everything that I read from other people having the same problem and watching a zillion TH-cam vids I finally got everything working the way it was supposed to, ( the LCD Block was the main culprit, not working with the software). Anyhow, I finally got almost everything working with the exception of one thing that I hope that you might be able to help me with. My setup is the LL Lcd cooler in a push pull configuration attached to top, three 120mm fans attached to side, three 140mm fans attached to bottom and two 120mm fans attached to back. I have the two series of fans from cooler attached to the controller that came with aio. I also have the three side fans and the 3 bottom fans connected to the same controller. This fills up the controller, so I used the other controller that came with the 3 pack to hook up the two back fans to it. My problem is when I go into L-Connect3 to set up the fans in a rgb lighting configuration all of the rgb lighting effect that I chose works on all of the fans except the two back fans that are hooked up to the controller that came with the 3 pack. I'm sure it is some sort of connection that I haven't done right, but at this point I'm so frustrated with this cooler and software I can't even think about what to connect or disconnect! If you have any suggestions or if you need more info from me about set up I would GREATLY appreciate it! I really enjoy your vids, it's the voice monotone and the Shrimp! We love our SHRUMMPS here in the Lowcountry!! Thanks again. Ciao
Assuming both controllers are connected via USB, can you see them separately in l connect? You should be able to cycle through them left to right. The lighting sync options in l connect should make all the fans automatically change even if they're on different controllers. The other thing to check is in the settings of l connect, look for a firmware update for the controller.
@@TheProvokedPrawn Thanks for a response, yes they are both connected via USB and I can see them separately. It lets me set a color combo, (I have orange and the light blue) for each fan set on runway, but the two fans in back stay dark blue and red on the strip of mirrors effect and the lighting around the two fans. I have the latest firmware installed, 0.9 I think it is. The 2 fans in back have the wide connection inserted in the controller that came with the 3 pack and the USB connection is hooked up, also the 2 sata connections coming off the controller are hooked up. Is there anything else that should be connected to or coming off of that controller? The only other thing is, since I had so many USB 2.0 connections to be made, (have strimmer too), I have the NZXT USB adapter for all of the USB connections from the controllers. Thanks again!
Dude, thanks for this video. And your others. Showing all these different scenarios, etc. I just ordered the long screws you linked. I have a similar build I’m attempting to do. Still waiting on more parts.
Thanks a million for that video mate, spot on! Just received the exact same product in white but didn’t get far with installing it. One thing that might turn out differently with an AM5 system is the standoff screws. My manual says LGA 1700 requires the screws without the dots. I’ll know for sure tomorrow 😎😅
Absolutely the best most detailed depiction of the install steps and potential headaches for the Lian Li Galahad 2 LCD AIO. This AIO (and the rest of your build) matches very closely what will be my first PC build. So it's VERY helpful. Thanks! I have a question about the cabling issue you mentioned when deciding to use 6 fans in a push/pull AIO arrangement: You said the supplied three fans come with a two header connector cable that fits the supplied controller. You mention that a three unit SL Infinity fan addition comes with a one header connector that must utilize a different controller (That Lian Li does this is enough to make you question their sanity.) Did you say that if three fans are bought individually rather than as a unit, the supplied cables wlll match the two header variety that comes with the AIO? Is there another work around that would be to purchase a separate two header cable for a three unit SL Infinity fan? This assumes that the connector at the end of the daisy chained 3 fan unit is the same as the connectors on individual fans. Just trying to write this down in an intelligible way makes me want to give up living and go shopping instead. But your reply would be greatly appreciated.
A life saver video !!! Well worth repeated viewing ! Great job !!! Just one more thing: please, show us how to manage two fan controllers through LianLi Connetct-3 software ! If it is possible, at all?
Best video ever for anyone who plans to build a computer😀 I am not a newbie but these tutorial videos are always welcome because new stuff come along all the time Thank you for the effort you put into this
Thank you so much for putting these videos together - it really helped a ton! There's one part that I'm confused about though because I bought the Gallahad-II SL-INF version and 3 more SL-INF-120's for push/pull - however, the cables that I got with my 3 pack to connect into the controller are the 6 pin version and not the one that splits out like yours and what comes with the AIO cooler. Where did you get the cables? I can't find them anywhere.
boy oh boy did I get lucky! I bought 6 single reverse blades because I couldnt find a 3 pack of them anywhere and i ordered those 6 with this aio not knowing the 3 packs wouldnt be able to hook up to the singles. But if im understanding this correctly I can have 4 groups of single fans hooked up to the specific controller? It would be 3 groups of 3 fans top, side, and bottom, and a single fan in the back as its own group.
I have bought this cooler and also three to lcd fans love the way this looks and thanks for the help setting it all up with an easy guide to follow. Small issue I have is after the pc sleeps or is powered off the screen never returns to what it was set to display. Would appreciate any hints you might have to sort this. Thanks again
Great description! Thank you,. Wish I would have found this before I spent about 45 mins trying to understand the wring, and the manual. That plug that is not needed for the Infinity version was baffling me. >
Great video. I am building a new PC with the GA II lcd sl-inf 360 and the sl-inf 120 gans for the case. What i need to know is which way the air flows through the fans. Last PC i built, my case fans all had an arrow on them to show air flow direction through the fan. On these fans, there is the mirror side and the side with the design.
I have a question on the fan setup. First off thank you so much for your videos, you have helped me tremendously in my first build. Cheers to you mate. Anyway, i have am building my first computer and have gotten everything else working correctly.. except my AIO and 3 vertical fan stack. I'm using the Lian Li Galahad 2 LCD Infinity + all Lian Li Infinity Fans. I have all of the fans connected to the AIO controller with the 2 power cords (compared to the thinner flat single power cord alternative). My fan sets are: 1. 2 140 fans daisychained on bottom of case 2. 3 120 fans daisychained vertically 3. AIO 3 120 fans mounted on the radiator (default) 4. 1 120 fan solo on back of case When all are plugged in, i get the AIO screen to turn on, but otherwise no power/RGB to the AIO fans. Also the 3 120 vertical fans are off and no RGB. But the 1 120 fan and the 2 140 fans turn on fine. First build so I'm not super experienced. The only thing i can think of from watching your videos is I'm potentially overloading the AIO controller? i need to use the 3 stack fan controller as well with most of the other system fans potentially with the single flat thin power cable feeding into it to lessen whats put into the AIO controller? Which that may fix my problem there, but i still havent been able to get the AIO fans on/RGB even when it's the only thing plugged into the AIO controller. Super confused on what my issue could be. Any further clarification needed please let me know. Thanks for all that you do!
Instructions that came with my Galahad II LCD S-INF 360 show the screws to mount the pump head for 1700 to be the screws that had no markings on top, The ones WITH the four dots are supposed to be for LGA115x, 1200 and AM4. They show the LGA 1700 and AM5 should use the four screw that had no markings. I thought you may want to know.
mine never came with a controller. It did have a SATA cable though, so I just plugged everything into my motherboard. Replaced the SL fans with TL and it all works fine. Galahad has dropped my CPU temp to a nice 40-60 degree range, even whilst playing games on max settings
Im guessing it’s possible to connect 3 reverse blade fans and the 3 pack infinity fans along with the Galahad 2 sl inf in the same connector? Preferably the one that coolers with the 3 pack?
uh, helpful on some of this especially hooking up my 3 seperate fan pack cables with the AIO hub. thanks for that. constructive critique, i'd probably plan that wiring out a little better prior to shooting the video. other than that, good work!
THANK YOU, so very much for showing the difference between the two L-Connect devices because I was very confused and still am a little bit… So if I have two extra reverse SL INF fans and one SL INF exhaust fan (all going in the (Lian Li 216) I would just have to plug them up separately and not with the daisy chain?? Also, does the L-Connect software not work when the fans aren’t connect to a L-Connect Hub???? First time builder and I’m so confused. All this stuff arrives on Wednesday and I won’t have the extra L-Connect hub if I will need it
Very informative video. Thank you for the effort. A quick question tho. In the video the controller was plugged to the CPU fan head. Does it means all the fans that connect to the controller will run at the same speed? (Faster when CPU get hotter). I have multiple fans that will connect to the controller and i can't imagine how noisy it will get. Thanks!
Just plug it into a normal fan head.. The L connect software lets u regulate seperate fan groups with speeds.. u can also set a curve seperately for the cpu fans.
I do appreciate your methods of teaching, I have learned a lot. I do wish you could show how to do this without "a dozen" fans and the controller. I have a matx case, one 360 aio, one in end and two on the bottom daisy-chained together. Now do I connect them to the board or the pump?
This Video is amazing first of all, helped me build my first pc perfectly. but i have an issue where all my fans spin and all the rbg works on all my fans spin, however only the Fans on my AIO cooler actually change color within L connect 3. would you happen to know why? i cant find anything on it
Prawn. You are an absolute legend. Been getting wound up all day at the idea of lian li 3 pack and aio connections being different. Ill be using these. So the way around using just 1 controller for lian li is use the aio one with a bunch of singles, not 3 packs?
Hello, I’ll start to congratulate for your excellent and explicit videos, so many info you provide but I still have i question if you have time to to respond. The cable which is coming out from the controller to a cpu fan header on the motherboard is a must or is optional ?? Thank you in advance PS : “great voice on the video”
I just purchased this unit, as well as 9 UNI Fans (7 120 TL's and 2 140 LCD TL's). I don't like to use my motherboard software to control any of this stuff, I just want to use L-Connect to control the RGB and fan speed. So do which cables do I need to plug in and which ones do I NOT need to worry about, if that's all I want to do? Thanks
Great video with awesome detail, i am planning a build similar to this, definitely would like to know what the best setup is for the AIO with regards to temps (At the top on exhaust push/pull 6 fans or side on intake push/pull 6 fans for cool air for AIO?) Also orientation of AIO on the side, tubes up or down for which is best for safety.
Ypur videos on lian li are awesome. But im in the situation where the connectors are differnt from the aio controler so i have 2 controllers but you mentioned you were going to cover that but i didnt see it or missed it. Im kind of stuck with differnt connectors and not sure what to do
I have a question and could really use some help. I’m planning to install 5 Lian Li Uni Fan TL LCD fans in a Lian Li case, and I’m looking to get the LIAN LI GALAHAD II LCD 360 White liquid cooler for my CPU. The issue is, the fans that come with the cooler use a different connector that won’t fit the TL series. Is it possible to connect two different Lian Li fan hubs in the same system? Or maybe there’s a way to link them together? My motherboard has 2 USB headers, 1 JRGB, 2 SYS_FAN, and 1 CPU_FAN.
So you said that all of your non radiator fans are controlled by a separate lian-li fan hub, but that you could plug case fans into the same hub used for the radiator fans. But you plugged the radiator fan controller into the cpu fan header on the motherboard, so if you plugged them into that controller, wouldnt the motherboard then control all of your case fans based on cpu temp? If you adjust the curve in the Lian-Li software, does it take precedence over the motherboard controlling the speed?
Hey prawn...you make really nice videos....can you suggest an alternative for Corsair 680x? O11 dynamic xl will do? And what's the latest lian li cpu cooler
@@TheProvokedPrawn thanks for the reply sir. Your videos are so high quality and they educate on almost all topics i wanna learn about these rgb fan control boxes. Keep rocking!!!
I’m just so confused, I have the GA trinity 2 with the SL-INF fans and all of my actual fan RGBs work but my top fan on that was with the AIO only the outer ring RGB won’t work. I bought a single fan to replace it thinking it was the fan and it’s still doing it. I have messed with the settings with the software and noticed when I’m clicking what I think was showing the positions of what fan was what, and the outer ring would light up blue; then it would go back to the setting I had it on and turn directly back off. So it shows the lights laughing up if that makes sense but they won’t stay on. Someone pls help 😭
please list links for amazon AUS as well if you can. seems strange to include Canada and uk but not aus considering we're all part of the same amazon supply line just helps to differentiate between stock
They're wrong. The only thing that you might want to consider is thermal throttling and whether the fans need flipping or if you have enough intake. th-cam.com/video/sVEXd-Wp8FY/w-d-xo.html
The video help me build my setup.... tks...very detail!!! On thing that I cant make work, is that setup of 360 aio lcd galaga 2 with new model device and setup with 3 x triple packs inf 120mm device... For some reason the wire ship it tougher with lcd aio wont conect half of the 2nd fan and dont light up the 3rd. in the radiator. Do you have any ideas? suggestion? this video has the cable at 0:25sec,
Hello! I have some questions about fan cabling. Did you use the controller that came with the 3-pack fans to connect the fans on the top and on the bottom? If yes, why not use the same controller that came with the AIO, since the 3 pack fans also come with a fan+rgb standard cable? If you were to connect the bottom and top fans along with the pump fans in the same AIO controller, would all of them be binded to the cpu fan speed curve? I am trying to figure out if I'll need to use another controller other than the one that comes the AIO, and what the drawbacks of using only that one would be. Thank you!
You could use the one that comes with the controller just fine. Though obviously only up to four groups. So you only have three spare when you've connected the fans from the rad. But that's fine
how can I connect the single pack sl inf fans to the controller the aio comes with since the rgb cable for single pack is for motherboard and I want to connect to the aio fan controller. (Im trying to connect three more groups of fans)
Very educational vid. Since the cable to the controller is different then the sl infinity triple pack can we switch the cable on the Galahad to the same as the triple pack to run on 1 controller instead of having 2 controllers
It’ll work fine if you use an extra cable from the 3 pack of infinity fans. The only difference is the controller. Since the controller doesn’t plug directly to the aio it doesn’t matter which controller you use.
Only issue im having is 3 of the 4 sets arent turning on. Everything is plugged correctly, software updated, bios done. 5v, cpu fan, pump fan all plugged in.
So if I buy the cooler and buy six infinity reversed blade fans and one standard infinityfan, does it bring the correct cables to daisy chain them to the aio controller ? @TheProvokedPrawn
I just ordered the non-Inf version of this AIO... is it worth adding the money for the inf version with the controller? is the SL-INF fans performance better? I dont care that much about the RGB effects but if fans performance is worth paying more I can switch to the INF version still...
Hey, really enjoying your videos Hey, really enjoying your videos. I have a question. Hey, really enjoying your videos. I have a question. I see that all of your RGB is sinking.

Do you have a video woth how to connect the case fans I have the starter pack for the SL120 infinity and 6x reverse blade fans and the galahad LCD SL 120 infinity. Do I need to run two controllers as well?
Do you connect the CASE fans on the aio controller as well? or just the aio fans? basically im asking is do you connect all fans to the aio controller...
I have the same AIO. My question is. Is that aio's controller enought for.the 7 reverse blade i bought? They dont have reverse.infinity pack in here. Please answer. ❤❤❤❤
Hello Provoked Prawn. Can you help me with how to setup the Lian Li GA II LCD 360 (non infinity fans version) with the Uni Fan SL 120 V2 fans. I want to use the controller that comes with the 3 Pack of the SL 120 V2's, but I cannot find how to properly wire the GA II LCD 360 with these fans and the controller that comes with them. If you good help me with a guide or point me to where I could find one for this combination I would really appreciate it.
Is there any way to switch the BLACK Cable of the single Fan on the backside to a White Color? I want to re-create this system but this cable color is ruining the whole build for me...
Prawn, question, what position in the EVO XL do you recommend installing the Motherboard when using this AIO with 420mm fans along the bottom and side panel of the case as well as 2 EA 120mm SL Uni's back? Should I go for the middle position (I see there are 3 choices?)? I'm assuming the cables will be long enough to route them behind the mobo and into the USB 2.0 header.
So hypothetically.. if I got this AIO.. 6 single packs of reverse fans.. and 1 single regular fan.. I could technically group them all onto the one controller that comes with the radiator right? 3 groups of 3 which includes top side and bottom.. and the the last port for the single rear exhaust fan. Is that right? Would be a total of ten fans but 9 of them grouped in 3 and 1 solo
@@JustAverageLarry I was also planning on doing this, got all my parts but i found out that the single fan adapter cables have 1 cable that doesnt fit into the controller. Did you also run into this issue? If so what did you do to make it work?
Is it possible to connect an AL 120 V2 (with the wire from the single pack) on the controller from the Gallahad? The plugs fit in but I’m not sure if it works.
This video should replace all the other or there should be a comment on the other regarding the wiring logic. -> Link the hub with the cpu fan header, and adjust the fan curve of the set connected to the cooler
Love your video! I have the concern that do unifan that come with this CPU cooler is the same with the lianli infinity V2 fan? Cause i heard that V2 and V1 of SL120 are different and using different controller. Or the V2 are actually a reversed blade of unifan ?
So the AIO Pump will run just by the PWM connector and the LCD/rgb stuff is controllable via L-connect by just plugging the USB cable to the motherboard?
Hey, love your videos! I got a quick question though: Just to clarify, you are using 2 separate controllers right? The one that comes with the AIO (which is only connected to the AIO?) as well as a controller which came with a pack of 3 fans (which have all other system-cooling fans connected to it?). I'm not very knowledgeable so I thought I'd ask just to make sure, as I'm planning on building my first PC soon and intend on having a very similar fan setup, just in a different case. Thanks, and sorry if its an obvious question!
I'm actually planning on heading to my local MicroCenter and picking up the remaining parts for my new build, and I *was* looking at the Lian Li Galahad II 360 for $189....and now I see this one. Worth the upgrade for $40 next week?
Jc is it $40 more there? 😂 I really wanted it, but it's double the price of the galahad 2 360 inf I got. $275 aud vs $505 aud. If it was 20% it would've been a no brainer ☠️
If I want to use TL fans I would just be connecting the pump header and USB for the screen on the cooler and then rolling with the TL fan installation as nornal right ? One controller that comes with the LCD 3 pack and then single fans daisy chained, correct ? This is the same AIO that comes with the INF or Regular fans right ? So since I'm planning on swapping out fans no sense in spending the extra for the INF fans.
Question, if i use the AIO controller, can i plug there also other case fans? and if from the controller i plug directly on the mobo do i still need to use the Usb connector?
Quick question. What is the default behavior of the LCD screen, if not using the L-connect software? Are all settings only in the software, or are any actually stored in the pump head head?
I'm confused at the step 4:48. I don't have the individual fan controller you have the tutorial with. My separate triple fan has the connection as shown before but how do you connect the AIO separate two pins to the standard controller that has four 7-pin inputs and two rgb connections?? I connected the RGB but the fan power has the ground on the opposite end of the power connections as the AIO Pump power does so I can't connect it to the normal CPU fan slots.
But if you sync fan power to motherboard solely through that bottom cable on the controller, you can't control speeds separately for each fan group-only altogether, right? The motherboard software won't be able to distinguish between the ports AFAIK, and treats them as a single fan group. So, I'm thinking that instead, I can give each fan group power directly from the motherboard CHA headers, and only plug in the RGB cables to the controller. This way, I can get full control over the speed of each fan group through FanXpert, and also full control of RGB through L-connect.
So I take it the infinity hub that comes in triple pack or as a kit is the best way to go for the wiring? (The ones with the flat connectors). My question is can you plug in the dynamic evo xl case rgb into those controllers? Like in the sync 1 and sync 2 ports?
@@TheProvokedPrawn btw for the record, I have used your videos exclusively to build my computer (always wanted to build a computer since the 00s but could never justify the expenditure). Your instruction in these videos has been instrumental in helping me. For what it’s worth, from a stranger on the internet, thanks for all the great content and help!

Superb guide. Can’t fault it at all. Really appreciate the detail you went to. Covered all the bases.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

I just spent 45 minutes tearing my room apart looking for that "missing cable". The relief when you said its not needed lmao
👍🏼
Absolutely the best most detailed depiction of the install steps and potential headaches for the Lian Li Galahad 2 LCD AIO. This AIO (and the rest of your build) matches very closely what will be my first PC build. So it's VERY helpful. Thanks! I have a question about the cabling issue you mentioned when deciding to use 6 fans in a push/pull AIO arrangement: You said the supplied three fans come with a two header connector cable that fits the supplied controller. You mention that a three unit SL Infinity fan addition comes with a one header connector that must utilize a different controller (That Lian Li does this is enough to make you question their sanity.) Did you say that if three fans are bought individually rather than as a unit, the supplied cables wlll match the two header variety that comes with the AIO? Is there another work around that would be to purchase a separate two header cable for a three unit SL Infinity fan? This assumes that the connector at the end of the daisy chained 3 fan unit is the same as the connectors on individual fans.
Just trying to write this down in an intelligible way makes me want to give up living and go shopping instead. But your reply would be greatly appreciated.
A life saver video !!! Well worth repeated viewing ! Great job !!! Just one more thing: please, show us how to manage two fan controllers through LianLi Connetct-3 software ! If it is possible, at all?
I would like to see this too. Curious.
Best video ever for anyone who plans to build a computer😀
I am not a newbie but these tutorial videos are always welcome because new stuff come along all the time
Thank you for the effort you put into this
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much for putting these videos together - it really helped a ton! There's one part that I'm confused about though because I bought the Gallahad-II SL-INF version and 3 more SL-INF-120's for push/pull - however, the cables that I got with my 3 pack to connect into the controller are the 6 pin version and not the one that splits out like yours and what comes with the AIO cooler. Where did you get the cables? I can't find them anywhere.
boy oh boy did I get lucky! I bought 6 single reverse blades because I couldnt find a 3 pack of them anywhere and i ordered those 6 with this aio not knowing the 3 packs wouldnt be able to hook up to the singles. But if im understanding this correctly I can have 4 groups of single fans hooked up to the specific controller? It would be 3 groups of 3 fans top, side, and bottom, and a single fan in the back as its own group.
I have bought this cooler and also three to lcd fans love the way this looks and thanks for the help setting it all up with an easy guide to follow. Small issue I have is after the pc sleeps or is powered off the screen never returns to what it was set to display. Would appreciate any hints you might have to sort this. Thanks again
Great description! Thank you,. Wish I would have found this before I spent about 45 mins trying to understand the wring, and the manual. That plug that is not needed for the Infinity version was baffling me. >
Great video. I am building a new PC with the GA II lcd sl-inf 360 and the sl-inf 120 gans for the case. What i need to know is which way the air flows through the fans. Last PC i built, my case fans all had an arrow on them to show air flow direction through the fan. On these fans, there is the mirror side and the side with the design.
The mirror side is the pull side (intake)
I have a question on the fan setup. First off thank you so much for your videos, you have helped me tremendously in my first build. Cheers to you mate. Anyway, i have am building my first computer and have gotten everything else working correctly.. except my AIO and 3 vertical fan stack. I'm using the Lian Li Galahad 2 LCD Infinity + all Lian Li Infinity Fans. I have all of the fans connected to the AIO controller with the 2 power cords (compared to the thinner flat single power cord alternative). My fan sets are:
1. 2 140 fans daisychained on bottom of case
2. 3 120 fans daisychained vertically
3. AIO 3 120 fans mounted on the radiator (default)
4. 1 120 fan solo on back of case
When all are plugged in, i get the AIO screen to turn on, but otherwise no power/RGB to the AIO fans. Also the 3 120 vertical fans are off and no RGB. But the 1 120 fan and the 2 140 fans turn on fine. First build so I'm not super experienced. The only thing i can think of from watching your videos is I'm potentially overloading the AIO controller? i need to use the 3 stack fan controller as well with most of the other system fans potentially with the single flat thin power cable feeding into it to lessen whats put into the AIO controller? Which that may fix my problem there, but i still havent been able to get the AIO fans on/RGB even when it's the only thing plugged into the AIO controller. Super confused on what my issue could be. Any further clarification needed please let me know. Thanks for all that you do!
Instructions that came with my Galahad II LCD S-INF 360 show the screws to mount the pump head for 1700 to be the screws that had no markings on top,
The ones WITH the four dots are supposed to be for LGA115x, 1200 and AM4. They show the LGA 1700 and AM5 should use the four screw that had no markings. I thought you may want to know.
Can you show the process on how to use these fans with the Galahad II infinity 360 LCD and the Strimer plus v2 etc. As this video is still confusing
Would love to see a video on how you connected multiple fan hubs!
th-cam.com/video/RjUwRy6FOs8/w-d-xo.html
mine never came with a controller. It did have a SATA cable though, so I just plugged everything into my motherboard. Replaced the SL fans with TL and it all works fine. Galahad has dropped my CPU temp to a nice 40-60 degree range, even whilst playing games on max settings
Finally. Been waiting on this and the Deepcool ls720 se digital to drop in the US.
I really wish I could buy that liquid cooler right now! So pretty.
You can just don't make the mistake like I did buying the Asus Rog Ryujin iii.
@@Israeli_Prince I actually did end up getting a black version of this one. Was able to trade mine in just in time. Sorry that the ROG disappointed ya
Im guessing it’s possible to connect 3 reverse blade fans and the 3 pack infinity fans along with the Galahad 2 sl inf in the same connector? Preferably the one that coolers with the 3 pack?
uh, helpful on some of this especially hooking up my 3 seperate fan pack cables with the AIO hub. thanks for that. constructive critique, i'd probably plan that wiring out a little better prior to shooting the video. other than that, good work!
no
THANK YOU, so very much for showing the difference between the two L-Connect devices because I was very confused and still am a little bit…
So if I have two extra reverse SL INF fans and one SL INF exhaust fan (all going in the (Lian Li 216) I would just have to plug them up separately and not with the daisy chain?? Also, does the L-Connect software not work when the fans aren’t connect to a L-Connect Hub????
First time builder and I’m so confused. All this stuff arrives on Wednesday and I won’t have the extra L-Connect hub if I will need it
Hi,
"after the screws with the dots" you use a LGA1700 then it should be exactly the other screws according to the instructions I am a bit confused
I'm a human that makes mistakes apparently
Very informative video. Thank you for the effort.
A quick question tho.
In the video the controller was plugged to the CPU fan head. Does it means all the fans that connect to the controller will run at the same speed? (Faster when CPU get hotter). I have multiple fans that will connect to the controller and i can't imagine how noisy it will get.
Thanks!
Just plug it into a normal fan head.. The L connect software lets u regulate seperate fan groups with speeds.. u can also set a curve seperately for the cpu fans.
I do appreciate your methods of teaching, I have learned a lot. I do wish you could show how to do this without "a dozen" fans and the controller. I have a matx case, one 360 aio, one in end and two on the bottom daisy-chained together. Now do I connect them to the board or the pump?
This Video is amazing first of all, helped me build my first pc perfectly. but i have an issue where all my fans spin and all the rbg works on all my fans spin, however only the Fans on my AIO cooler actually change color within L connect 3. would you happen to know why? i cant find anything on it
th-cam.com/video/ZRKWBuP0M2Y/w-d-xo.html
Prawn. You are an absolute legend.
Been getting wound up all day at the idea of lian li 3 pack and aio connections being different. Ill be using these.
So the way around using just 1 controller for lian li is use the aio one with a bunch of singles, not 3 packs?
my manual saying that using the wrong screws for the pumphead. LGA1700 is the screws without dots.
wait so does the Lian Li Galahad II Trinity 360 come with a fan controller ?
Hello, I’ll start to congratulate for your excellent and explicit videos, so many info you provide but I still have i question if you have time to to respond.
The cable which is coming out from the controller to a cpu fan header on the motherboard is a must or is optional ??
Thank you in advance
PS : “great voice on the video”
I just purchased this unit, as well as 9 UNI Fans (7 120 TL's and 2 140 LCD TL's). I don't like to use my motherboard software to control any of this stuff, I just want to use L-Connect to control the RGB and fan speed. So do which cables do I need to plug in and which ones do I NOT need to worry about, if that's all I want to do? Thanks
Don't need to worry about the 5v RGB connector but do use pcie power and usb connections
Great video with awesome detail, i am planning a build similar to this, definitely would like to know what the best setup is for the AIO with regards to temps (At the top on exhaust push/pull 6 fans or side on intake push/pull 6 fans for cool air for AIO?) Also orientation of AIO on the side, tubes up or down for which is best for safety.
th-cam.com/video/qQcyYHGtArs/w-d-xo.html
you chose the wrong thumb screws for the CPU mount. For LGA 1700 its the ones without the dots.
Aio is plugged in correct fan is plugged int fan header correct. Everything works. Bios doesn’t recognize cpu fan. What is the fix
Ypur videos on lian li are awesome. But im in the situation where the connectors are differnt from the aio controler so i have 2 controllers but you mentioned you were going to cover that but i didnt see it or missed it. Im kind of stuck with differnt connectors and not sure what to do
This is a silly question, but does the push pull config mean that the radiator fans are set to intake?
Hey you can put 2 fan on the rear
If you mean in the case, yes th-cam.com/video/E-t8mT-iW_A/w-d-xo.html
Hey I can’t find the part where you solve the problem of having the triple pack of fans work with the aio? Is there a time stamp?
I have a question and could really use some help. I’m planning to install 5 Lian Li Uni Fan TL LCD fans in a Lian Li case, and I’m looking to get the LIAN LI GALAHAD II LCD 360 White liquid cooler for my CPU. The issue is, the fans that come with the cooler use a different connector that won’t fit the TL series. Is it possible to connect two different Lian Li fan hubs in the same system? Or maybe there’s a way to link them together? My motherboard has 2 USB headers, 1 JRGB, 2 SYS_FAN, and 1 CPU_FAN.
So you said that all of your non radiator fans are controlled by a separate lian-li fan hub, but that you could plug case fans into the same hub used for the radiator fans.
But you plugged the radiator fan controller into the cpu fan header on the motherboard, so if you plugged them into that controller, wouldnt the motherboard then control all of your case fans based on cpu temp? If you adjust the curve in the Lian-Li software, does it take precedence over the motherboard controlling the speed?
Hey prawn...you make really nice videos....can you suggest an alternative for Corsair 680x?
O11 dynamic xl will do? And what's the latest lian li cpu cooler
Corsair has just released the 6500 which is meant to be the new 680x. I personally like the Evo XL and the Galahad 2 LCD
@@TheProvokedPrawn thanks for the reply sir. Your videos are so high quality and they educate on almost all topics i wanna learn about these rgb fan control boxes. Keep rocking!!!
If I have the galahad 2 lcd and two triple packs can I make it all work or do I need single packs?
Could you use the v2 controller to control the pump
I’m just so confused, I have the GA trinity 2 with the SL-INF fans and all of my actual fan RGBs work but my top fan on that was with the AIO only the outer ring RGB won’t work. I bought a single fan to replace it thinking it was the fan and it’s still doing it. I have messed with the settings with the software and noticed when I’m clicking what I think was showing the positions of what fan was what, and the outer ring would light up blue; then it would go back to the setting I had it on and turn directly back off. So it shows the lights laughing up if that makes sense but they won’t stay on. Someone pls help 😭
please list links for amazon AUS as well if you can. seems strange to include Canada and uk but not aus considering we're all part of the same amazon supply line just helps to differentiate between stock
So do I just need to use the usb c connection on the pump and not the other one that uses a sata connection too?
I have my cooler setup like yours but someone told me it’s wrong is that bad ? I don’t have fans on the back of my radiator
They're wrong. The only thing that you might want to consider is thermal throttling and whether the fans need flipping or if you have enough intake. th-cam.com/video/sVEXd-Wp8FY/w-d-xo.html
So I found out my lian li o11 evo has slight clearance issue for the bracket so you CAN'T just open the back and take the old and put the new in...
Can I know what software version you are on? I can’t get the LCD to display or show up in my L connect?
The video help me build my setup.... tks...very detail!!!
On thing that I cant make work, is that setup of 360 aio lcd galaga 2 with new model device and setup with 3 x triple packs inf 120mm device... For some reason the wire ship it tougher with lcd aio wont conect half of the 2nd fan and dont light up the 3rd. in the radiator.
Do you have any ideas? suggestion?
this video has the cable at 0:25sec,
Hello! I have some questions about fan cabling. Did you use the controller that came with the 3-pack fans to connect the fans on the top and on the bottom? If yes, why not use the same controller that came with the AIO, since the 3 pack fans also come with a fan+rgb standard cable? If you were to connect the bottom and top fans along with the pump fans in the same AIO controller, would all of them be binded to the cpu fan speed curve? I am trying to figure out if I'll need to use another controller other than the one that comes the AIO, and what the drawbacks of using only that one would be. Thank you!
You could use the one that comes with the controller just fine. Though obviously only up to four groups. So you only have three spare when you've connected the fans from the rad. But that's fine
Can I flip these fans and maintain rgb ? Or do I have to buy $300 worth of fans 🙃
Flip and you won't see the mirror in the middle but still have the blades
how can I connect the single pack sl inf fans to the controller the aio comes with since the rgb cable for single pack is for motherboard and I want to connect to the aio fan controller. (Im trying to connect three more groups of fans)
Can you make it display cpu temp?
Can i connect the fans directly to the mobo or i need the hub? I realy would prefere not to use the hub if possible....
Very educational vid. Since the cable to the controller is different then the sl infinity triple pack can we switch the cable on the Galahad to the same as the triple pack to run on 1 controller instead of having 2 controllers
I want to know this too
It’ll work fine if you use an extra cable from the 3 pack of infinity fans. The only difference is the controller. Since the controller doesn’t plug directly to the aio it doesn’t matter which controller you use.
NOTE!: SignalRGB will flip the LCD out and is will dc and reconnect every so many min. if the RGB is connected to the hub
Only issue im having is 3 of the 4 sets arent turning on. Everything is plugged correctly, software updated, bios done. 5v, cpu fan, pump fan all plugged in.
Sorry for the noob question. But can the lian li Hydroshift be set up the same way you did here? :)
th-cam.com/video/EhAJlQQMPfE/w-d-xo.html
So if I buy the cooler and buy six infinity reversed blade fans and one standard infinityfan, does it bring the correct cables to daisy chain them to the aio controller ? @TheProvokedPrawn
I can connect ARGB, fans directly to the motherboard?
I just ordered the non-Inf version of this AIO... is it worth adding the money for the inf version with the controller? is the SL-INF fans performance better? I dont care that much about the RGB effects but if fans performance is worth paying more I can switch to the INF version still...
Wait so im planning on getting this aio and more inf fans do i need the extra controller or should i use the one from the aio

Do you connect the CASE fans on the aio controller as well? or just the aio fans? basically im asking is do you connect all fans to the aio controller...
U can yes
I have the same AIO. My question is. Is that aio's controller enought for.the 7 reverse blade i bought? They dont have reverse.infinity pack in here. Please answer. ❤❤❤❤
Hello Provoked Prawn. Can you help me with how to setup the Lian Li GA II LCD 360 (non infinity fans version) with the Uni Fan SL 120 V2 fans. I want to use the controller that comes with the 3 Pack of the SL 120 V2's, but I cannot find how to properly wire the GA II LCD 360 with these fans and the controller that comes with them. If you good help me with a guide or point me to where I could find one for this combination I would really appreciate it.
Is there any way to switch the BLACK Cable of the single Fan on the backside to a White Color? I want to re-create this system but this cable color is ruining the whole build for me...
Do we have to use remoo fan control to make a fan curve based on Coolant Temp? I can't believe Lconnect 3 doesn't have coolant sensor as an option.
Prawn, question, what position in the EVO XL do you recommend installing the Motherboard when using this AIO with 420mm fans along the bottom and side panel of the case as well as 2 EA 120mm SL Uni's back? Should I go for the middle position (I see there are 3 choices?)? I'm assuming the cables will be long enough to route them behind the mobo and into the USB 2.0 header.
So hypothetically.. if I got this AIO.. 6 single packs of reverse fans.. and 1 single regular fan.. I could technically group them all onto the one controller that comes with the radiator right? 3 groups of 3 which includes top side and bottom.. and the the last port for the single rear exhaust fan. Is that right? Would be a total of ten fans but 9 of them grouped in 3 and 1 solo
Yes I think so
@@TheProvokedPrawn sweet!
@@JustAverageLarry I was also planning on doing this, got all my parts but i found out that the single fan adapter cables have 1 cable that doesnt fit into the controller. Did you also run into this issue? If so what did you do to make it work?
Is it possible to connect an AL 120 V2 (with the wire from the single pack) on the controller from the Gallahad? The plugs fit in but I’m not sure if it works.
Nope, it is an SL controller, unfortunately.
You should have used lian li reverse blade fans for bottom...it would look more attractive 🥰
I was waiting for 140mm th-cam.com/video/npUvXH95bp0/w-d-xo.html
This video should replace all the other or there should be a comment on the other regarding the wiring logic.
-> Link the hub with the cpu fan header, and adjust the fan curve of the set connected to the cooler
Love your video!
I have the concern that do unifan that come with this CPU cooler is the same with the lianli infinity V2 fan? Cause i heard that V2 and V1 of SL120 are different and using different controller. Or the V2 are actually a reversed blade of unifan ?
Aio include controller?
1:12 Are the fans actually set up as an exhaust? Just wanna make sure I heard it right because they look like intake setup to me…
So the AIO Pump will run just by the PWM connector and the LCD/rgb stuff is controllable via L-connect by just plugging the USB cable to the motherboard?
Hey, love your videos!
I got a quick question though: Just to clarify, you are using 2 separate controllers right? The one that comes with the AIO (which is only connected to the AIO?) as well as a controller which came with a pack of 3 fans (which have all other system-cooling fans connected to it?).
I'm not very knowledgeable so I thought I'd ask just to make sure, as I'm planning on building my first PC soon and intend on having a very similar fan setup, just in a different case.
Thanks, and sorry if its an obvious question!
Yes
Thank you@@TheProvokedPrawn
So I have to buy a bunch of single fans and not the triple pack for it to work with the aio control box?
You can use the triple pack controller instead if you like
I'm actually planning on heading to my local MicroCenter and picking up the remaining parts for my new build, and I *was* looking at the Lian Li Galahad II 360 for $189....and now I see this one. Worth the upgrade for $40 next week?
Jc is it $40 more there? 😂
I really wanted it, but it's double the price of the galahad 2 360 inf I got. $275 aud vs $505 aud.
If it was 20% it would've been a no brainer ☠️
I somehow didn’t get a controller with my AIO 🤔 I just have one that came with my INF fans and one that came you my Strimer V2
If I want to use TL fans I would just be connecting the pump header and USB for the screen on the cooler and then rolling with the TL fan installation as nornal right ? One controller that comes with the LCD 3 pack and then single fans daisy chained, correct ? This is the same AIO that comes with the INF or Regular fans right ? So since I'm planning on swapping out fans no sense in spending the extra for the INF fans.
For the first part of your question the answer is yes. I didn't understand the second question.
Do I need the controller if I take the fans off and swap them out for something else?
I wonder if it fits a Lian Li Lancool II Mesh ATX Mid Tower Case
Question, if i use the AIO controller, can i plug there also other case fans? and if from the controller i plug directly on the mobo do i still need to use the Usb connector?
Is the Fan PWN control based on Water or CPU Temperature?
Quick question. What is the default behavior of the LCD screen, if not using the L-connect software? Are all settings only in the software, or are any actually stored in the pump head head?
I was wondering is it possible to switch out the fans with other fans?
You can remove them. I just swapped them for reverse fans
@@TheProvokedPrawn thanks so much and sorry for bothering you:)
@@XeqtrM1 no need to apologise
So my manual for MB said the CPU fan was on the right side and pump left however on the MB it’s pump left and cpu right
Which one is correct haha
I'm confused at the step 4:48. I don't have the individual fan controller you have the tutorial with.
My separate triple fan has the connection as shown before but how do you connect the AIO separate two pins to the standard controller that has four 7-pin inputs and two rgb connections?? I connected the RGB but the fan power has the ground on the opposite end of the power connections as the AIO Pump power does so I can't connect it to the normal CPU fan slots.
So we are forced to use the 2 cable versions... i think i might skipped this. Wish i would have waited and went with corsair with there new icue link
But if you sync fan power to motherboard solely through that bottom cable on the controller, you can't control speeds separately for each fan group-only altogether, right? The motherboard software won't be able to distinguish between the ports AFAIK, and treats them as a single fan group.
So, I'm thinking that instead, I can give each fan group power directly from the motherboard CHA headers, and only plug in the RGB cables to the controller.
This way, I can get full control over the speed of each fan group through FanXpert, and also full control of RGB through L-connect.
So I take it the infinity hub that comes in triple pack or as a kit is the best way to go for the wiring? (The ones with the flat connectors). My question is can you plug in the dynamic evo xl case rgb into those controllers? Like in the sync 1 and sync 2 ports?
yes and yes
@@TheProvokedPrawn btw for the record, I have used your videos exclusively to build my computer (always wanted to build a computer since the 00s but could never justify the expenditure). Your instruction in these videos has been instrumental in helping me. For what it’s worth, from a stranger on the internet, thanks for all the great content and help!
Can you use the old l-connect hub for the aio radiator fans, or is it incompatible?
