Features:
The infinity mirror integration to the SL INFINITY 120 creates a light effect that does not
compromise on brightness, creates a definite separation between the light layers, and adds an infinity RGB depth to the UNI FANs.
The circular-shaped infinity mirror at the center of the fan is visible and tuned to have multiple layers spacing 0.5mm between each, creating a clear multi-layer effect from any visible angle.
Inspired by the original UNI FAN SL, aluminum trims surround the side infinity mirrors that are located on both visible edges of the fan frame.
Each UNI FAN SL INFINITY 120 features a total of 40 fully addressable LEDs for maximum
brightness, the best infinity mirror look, and complete light effect customization.
Other highlights include the ability to change the direction of the fan cable so you can make it face the way you want. This makes cable tidying easy. You can also remove the interlocking mechanism to tidy things up in the case a bit more. Which helps!

best video ever. it took me 4-5 tries to find someone just hooking them up. everyone else's videos looked like Lian LI promotional videos and I just wanted to see how to properly hook them up. thank you for your service 💓
Thanks Gary. Glad to help, hope you enjoyed enough to subscribe 🦐
Same boat! This helped a lot since the 3 groups of 3 with a single in the rear was exactly the setup I’m looking at. Only question is if I get a single pack for the rear will that still connect to the controller or no?
omg same i could either only get the rgb to work or just the fans to spin not both it was frustrating
@@TheProvokedPrawn I’m confused, do I gotta connect the 3 pin 5v rgb header AND the usb to the motherboard or can I only have the 5v 3 pin connected?
@@TheRockford22 yes but using one of the (4) cable that comes with the 3 pack.
Dude thank you for this. Was going crazy trying to find more connections on my motherboard as the 2 were already full. Life saver for a newb on his first build!
I cannot describe how grateful I am to find this video and being able to enjoy this channel... Insanely helpful that you actually walked through each part of the fan package and how to set them up.
Glad to found it helpful. Hope you enjoyed enough to subscribe 🦐
Thank you for the very thorough video. I have made my own custom cables for the fans which involed new wires and soldering to the fan header connections. I tested my system but the fans were not spinning. In half panic that I have done something wrong and potentially fried my fans, I searched the internet if anyone else experienced this phenomenon. Your video came up and was able to answer my question and I could continue with the build.
Nice instructional btw, and probably will come in handy for many!
Fantastic! Glad to hear it. Hope you appreciated enough to sub.

@@TheProvokedPrawnHey, great video , but can I connect 3 × triple pack fans = 9 fans if I only have 1 argb headers on my motherboard. PLEASE REPLY
Yes you can, you can do up to 4 sets of 4 (16 fans) total on just 1 of the controller boxes and that controller box only needs 1 usb header (MB), 1 fan header (MB) 1 rgb header (MB) and 2 sata cables (power supply)@user-vo2wc4qk5b

i was confused on what i needed to have plugged in and you cleared it up. thx
lol thank you so much i was gonna give up on my first build bc i didn't know where tf the wires to the fans went and you just saved my life thank you so much
I recently got the V2 uni fans and the Galahad aio 360 and I love them. Your video was a big help.
Glad to help!
I’m setting these up in my new case tomorrow, thanks for the great video. Subbed
I got 12 fans in my case 😂 my wallet about to really hurt with these fans but thank you so much for being the only one to actually answer my question about the control and the amount i can plug into it
Can you help me i don't undersrand how to control the fans using l connect software and not using motherboard software
This video made me get the fans. Also, thank you for showing how they all work. This video saved me time. Thank you!
Glad to help Sir Randall 👍
Time to pull my case apart and redo EVERYTHING. I think I need this Lian Li controller

At this point, with all the reviews and tutorials, I might master how to setup the fans even though I don't have a single pack. Still waiting to be available in my country. Great vid though!
Hope you get them soon!
This helped a ton I was testing the fans on a makeshift rig out of old parts and was wondering why they weren’t spinning when I turned it on.
Glad to help. Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoyed enough to subscribe! :)
Bought two 3-packs and they came with splitters for the controller-to-fan plugs. Which means you can connect two sets of two into one of the controller plugs. Crazy how much thought they put into this product. Hands down the easiest fans to work with.
Yeah, I just bought 7(2 packs + single) and I m very impress with what came in the boxes, more cables then I will ever need. Thinking of buying another 3 pack and replacing my Galahad fans too now.
Does that mean you can have 5 sets of fans plugged into 1 controller? (with 2 sets of the fan using the splitter and only occupying 1 slot on the controller) Thanks!
Beware the power limits there are reports of burned splitters because of overloading it.
@@twinstars8812 i think the maximum amount of fans is 16. however , if running that many fans on one controller , I would plug in the second SATA cable for sure .
Did you buy the SL Infinity version? Or SL V2? For my infinity fans i don’t see a splitter cable …

im really grateful
Glad to help. You might find this playlist useful too - How to build a gaming PC: th-cam.com/play/PLlRFhsGPgCG9yKCHtL2_UnwSGitMqao5z.html
just saying: very thoughtful of lian li to create daisy chained fans because their cases need a lot of fans
worth noting, that you get the thick connector (from the triple box) 3 times total. so if you have a 3x3 + 1 setup you will be missing 1 cable for the single fan. so if you play on doing more than 3 groups, buy 2 triple boxes
they give 4 cables, not 3 :)
Thank you for explaining the rgb to mobo plugs
No problem 👍

The very first and educative video ever. In this case where did you connect the Galahad AIO Led? Big thumbs up for your work.
The Galahad was already installed to be honest (from when I did that video), so I didn't mess with the wiring or use the new control box as I probably could have.
@@TheProvokedPrawn I asked because I have 9 UniFans connected with one controller(with non space left) and I don't know how to connect the Galahad Led connector. Can you help me with?
@@musicsthearts7648 connect it to the RGB header on your motherboard?
The thing the AIO LED cable is made to be insert into the controller box. But there's no space left since the fans with rgb are connected in all 4 modules of the controller.
Helpful video! And believe it or not i did connect them wrong 😅
🙂 neat, thx for explaining the wiring
thanks this video was super useful, im trying to get my hands on 9 120s, and 3 140s, but its like the 140s dont exist i cant find then anywhere
can you use a y-splitter to connect a single fan to a row of 3 so back extract & the 3 fans on the top of the case & then connect it to the control box in the back ???
That was an extremely helpful video
Glad it was helpful!
hey, great video. Quick question. How many of this connection cables do you get with this? Enough to connect these 4 groups of fans?
Thanks for clarifying the fans not spinning on start up. I thought I bent a pin or something.
It was a panic for me too 🤣 apparently it's because of the fact the fans can go to zero rpm and so that's what they default to
Thank you for the great video. Regards the controller in theory if you have OL11 Dynamic XL, same 10x SL Infinity 120 arrangement as your video (3xfan group side, bottom, Galahad 360 top and single rear) both 24 & (3x8 gpu) strimer V2 cables. How do you connect the fans, strimers & Cooler controllers or would one of these triple fan pack controllers manage to link & control everything? Would it be the Galahad in sync 1 and the strimer controller in sync 2? Thanks again
The only disappointing thing about the 3 pack, was the manual, had to scrape up the info here and there to find out the controller's capabilities.
Wish I would of found this video an hour ago ;)
Wonderful explanation. Thanks !

Sure thing, I just realized I didn't but when I came back to vid cuz i wanted to ask u, i have galahad 2 trinity radiator and UNI SL fan and TL LCD fan, the question is can i use the controller of the uni sl fans with the tl lcd ?
Hey there! Thanks for the vid Iit will definitely help me a lot when I eventually build my pc. My question is is it possible to connect 9 fans like 3 3pack with 3 fans as an aio, 3 (connected together) as intake and the last 3 is separated into 1-2 fans. Is that possible to power since I will have 1 120 size fan space on the rear and 2 120 in the bottom. Is that possible? Case is hyte y60 researched how mount 3 fans on the side so there will be 3 on the side 3 on top with radiator(aio) and 2 in the basement 1 in rear
That knife.. is adorable.
No one is getting shanked by it. That's for sure.
Ty, now I know how to setup my 9x fans yyo my 011 d EVO Chassie 😍
I aim to please. Hope you enjoyed enough to sub.
i only watch 45 seconds of the video and i just had to comment, i want this little pocket knife lol that in itself made me like the video
Thanks for the video. This is super helpful. Quick question, if I replace an GPU AIO fan with these Liam li fans, where would I connect the fan control? I know just like cpu aio I can connect into the sync slot for rgb control.
Great vid, very informative. Hoping you or someone else can answer this: if I had the controller hub and wanted to forgo using L-Connect by connecting the PWM and RGB cables to separate controllers instead (in my case, an Aquacomputer Octo and Farbwerk), how exactly does control work for the fans? Would the controllers detect all the fans connected to the hub as one fan and thus mirror settings across all fans? Or will all the fans be recognized individually, allowing for individual speed and RGB control?
Great guide!
Does the triple pack of fans come with multiple of the 2in1 power and RGB connections? (the flat connector that connects to the box)
So for the 10 fan setup demo'd in the video, I would be able to buy a single triple pack, and 7 single fans, and have all I need to connect them all?
Thanks!
Thank you for this. I have 3 sets of fans like in this video, except my AIO cooler is the Galahad II LCD. I have the case fans on the SL controller, the AIO & it’s 3 fans on the AIO controller but the rgbs aren’t syncing with the other fans. In the L connect app it’s on its own and have to configure it separately from the case fans. Anyway to sync them all together?
Can these be used in a way, that one is exhaust and two are intakes?
Hey mate, awesome video, really helpful!
Is it possible to use the controller without the Micro USB cable? I have all fans plugged in, 3 groups of 3, one solo for exhaust, into the controller ports, the PWM and ARGB connectors plugged into my board, and ignored the Micro USB cable because I didn't want to use LConnect. However, when I turned on my system, no RGB came through for the fans, but they were all spinning. Is that the reason why, not using the Micro USB? Thanks in advance!!
Hey, great video , but can I connect 3 × triple pack fans = 9 fans if I only have 1 argb headers on my motherboard. PLEASE REPLY
Thanks ~ relevant info. 👍👍
Thanks for the video Prawn! I have 2 groups of 4 and after I downloaded L connect 3 the top fan in both strings quit lightning up, the fans still work and I can change the speed, but no RGB and just in the one fan on each..?
Hey bud - thankyou for this video, awesome stuff -subbed!!
Does anyone know how to connect these to an AIO? I have the three pack/ a bunch of individual fans - hoping I can get them onto my AIO without caussing grief (aka want the AIO to control the fan speed)
I just commented on the other video about the different contrillers
So i can use the triple pack controller with the lcd aio ?
Just got 10 infinity fans.. miss my corsair fans.. sooo much more adjustability in ICUE!!!!
I have the Lancool 216.
Will I need the extra ARGB cable kit to connect the front 160mm fans to the controller l box for RGB control?
How do you connect a single fan to the sync on the hub? The 3 pin layout on the fan and the hub is different.
Just curious with the single pack connector can you hook that up to the control box as well?
excellent video but in my uni fans lian li sl-inf 120 3 pack i dont have spliter cable only single cable coming ouut of the fans and should go only to the controler. Im trying to use with ryuujin 2 360 but fans must go only to lian li controler
do i need the sl infinity controller that comes with a x3 pack (cant buy it by itself) or can i also use the sl uni fan L-connect 3.0 controller?
If my cpu cooler non-lian li has a argb wire where would i plug it in this case? Because if i use the controller it wont have a argb head it will have the other head with many pins
Just got the salad 2 about and a set of three fans. Is there an adapter to connect one set of three fans to another set of three fans so I would only then have one set of wires to connect to a controller or mb
Hey! Thank for the video, as I see you are using ROG STRIX motherboard in the last part, so the LL hub will let you control these fans in the Armory Crate and will detect as separate chassis fans (groups) ? At the moment I have AL model of fans, and I had them plugged to the PWM motherboard header directly, as the motherboard could not detect them in the bios.
The wire of Lian li not lose in the hub you recommend? Cuz I tried other hub and it’s lose easy to take out in one move
Great video! Thanks.
Glad to help. Hope you enjoyed enough to subscribe 🦐
Sure did! :) @@TheProvokedPrawn
hi, i have the sl120 with the fan controller, id like to buy the infinity fans too but i dont want a second fan controler, what can i do? buy them in single boxes without the fan controller? i understand that in this case i have to connect them to the MB, can i use L-connect3 software on them? or can i connect them to the old sl120 fan controler?
How do you synchronize the RGB of one Infinity fan (connected to CPU fan header) to 3 other groups connected to the L controller? I am thinking of using one Infinity fan connected to the CPU fan header and 4 other Infinity fans connected to the controller (connected to the system fan header). But what do you do with the RGB connector of the CPU fan to sync with the fans connected to the controller?
Thanks a lot for this. This is one of the best tutorials I've come across. I have one tiny question. I went out yesterday and the infinity fans and did this setup you have here. Installed the fans and only one set of 3 light up and spin, all the others do not do anything. I tried switching the port on the controller but only the same 3 working. Any ideas what could be happening?

Hi. Where are the SYNC effects gone in I-Connect 3? I mean the Meteor Sync or Runaway Sync. Heaving one color startin from the upper left corner and ending on the left bottom corner, and back?
I have a corsair H150i elite, that came with a controller, my question is, if I use the SL Infinity fans, 9 x120 & 4 x 140, will I have to use the Lian li controller and what controller will I used for the AIO? Please advise
I attach lianlin infinity to the AIO. do i need to connect the fan to the respective header or i can just connect to the lian li controller hub and cool my cpu with the l connect 3
Im trying to hook up my fans but i found that i don't have enough SATA power connectors to connect the control box along with my lian li v1 strimmers to the power as well. Do i need to purchase a SATA splitter to have enough imputs for power?
So if I want to put 9 of the infinity fans in my case I have to buy one triple pack and 6 single packs? So i can connect all 9 of them on one controll-hub
Awesome video thank you 🙏
You're welcome Dave. Hope you enjoyed enough to sub!
Do I need to plug in the fan 4 pin in order for fan to work or just the 3.0 usb. I can get one or the other to work but not both. I have the INF fans. I have the control box but do need to plug in the 4 pin that’s what I want to know. I have the flat fan plug. Nevermind I figured it out.
So i am confused? The single fan does not have a way to plug into the control box by itself? How do i daisy chain into a group of three with one single fan. I want to run a three oack 120 and a rear 140 can this all plug into the controller?
Very informative video thank you, question, if I only wish to use the fans through L Connect and not the motherboard, do I still need to connect the ARGB cable? Or can I just connect the two cables that come with the fan into the hub? Thanks.
If you're just using L Connect then you just need to connect the power and USB connections.
So I have 4 different cables from 8 sl inf 120 fans, 2 individual fans and 2 sets of 3 fans daisy chained (one of which are the 3 fans for the radiator). I am also using the Galahad ii sl inf 360 aio. Can you please explain how I can connect all the cables to the L connect 3 controller to sync the rgb of the fans and the pump.
Can I use a splitter for the 9 pin usb? Motherboard only has 2 usb connections. What would be the solution? Need 3 usb connections, one for the SL fan controller, one for the TL LCD fan controller and one for my cpu air cooler with an lcd/digital readout.
Awesome video, detailed and high quality!
But since I'm not the brightest and may have missed this part, I'd just like to confirm:
1.A single pack fan, will work just off of the motherboard connectors and does not need the controller?
2.Can the RGB and fan speed be controlled via the motherboard headers and software, or do I need to install Lian Li's proprietary software?
Correct
@@TheProvokedPrawn the single can just be plug in cpu fan header? im planning to use it as a cpu fan
If I buy a pack of 3, can I have a group of 2 and a single one in different places?
Does the 3 pack come with the necessary cables for this?
Crazy how all u have to do for the connections is daisy chain the fans put the connector on the first fan then plug that connector to the controller then sata then I think u have to plug in a usb connection as well, love how smart and useful lian li’s fans are and even better they look the best, fr Lian li probably has the best fans for aesthetics and cable management
I have the Air Mini case as well! Trying to setup it up exactly as yours. So it's 5 sets of fans with 2 controllers. All fans are going to the controllers, and controllers to motherboard right? Is it possible to have all 5 sets of fan plugged into 1 controller (using a splitter for 2 of those sets), on Lian Li's manual it seems doable, have you tried? Thanks!!
Does the single fan connect to the controller as well? You showed it had a PWM/ARGB connector and those dont go into the control box you showed. Im hoping the single fan comes with some kind of adapter to let you route a single and groups into one controller.
Great video man. I love your voice lol Not that cringy typical youtube content creator wannabe news station fake speaking if you know what I mean. Kind of soothing.
Noob question: Do all current MBs have that USB header? Probably yes, right?
Yes they do. Most have two in my experience
I had to order 9x single fans instead of 3 packs due to shipping constraints. How can I solve the issue of not having the controller specific cables now?
I'm thinking about ordering the controller separately, but from your video I realized I need a different connector on the fans from the ones that are supplied by the single units (which ends in 1 argb + 1 pwm outputs)
Can I plug the two cables from the Galahad 360 into the uni sl controller?
