Hey Dan (and others having the settings issue), for your L-Connect settings to save you have to go into your BIOS and make sure constant USB power is on. The controller needs constant power even in sleep/shutdown. If it still doesn't work after that, try a different USB header for the controller. Some motherboards only hold power on certain headers so check your manual! Hope this helps :)
Thank you for the comment! I did read that there should be a settings adjustment in the BIOS that I can adjust but I find it a tad annoying that I we have to do this to retain settings. I will try the other USB header on my board first and see if it works. Going to pin your comment so other people see it. Thanks for the information!
@@DanKamYouKnow Did it work?
interesting, i never had this problem, and i just built my computer.
Don`t want to change a couple of settings in your bios (that would be set and forget), but you will adjust your fan speed and rgb lighting every time you boot up. Does not compute (pun intended) to me. ?
Another great review Dan, thanks for spending the time going thru the lighting presets and software controls rather than wasting it recording you physically taking the stuff out of the box. Concise, yet In-Depth. The tip about the controller losing its settings after re-boot is good to know. I will take that into account when choosing my future purchase.
Thanks for the comment, that’s really nice of you to say and I appreciate it.
So it appears the controller thing might have been resolved with a software update. Mine is loading up every time now and I didn’t change anything. Not sure what happened but glad it’s working now. Worst case scenario is you have to open and minimize the app on boot each time, which wasn’t that bad.
Thank you for this excellent review. I'm gonna get two of the 3 pack for my 7000D case. These look so damn good and after this review it's difficult to choose any other fan over these 😂
Thanks!!! Appreciate those kind words. I am still using these fans and they’re still great, no issues at all
They look so good!! I'm debating on upgrading to them from my Lian li ALs
I heard the bearings are much improved on these and obviously has way more RGB ( which would give you more FPS 😆😜 ).
Thanks for this review, so far the best... Keep it up!
Thank you so much!! Appreciate your comment.
Thanks so much for this! I was wondering how to play with the software and this was a huge help, total noob here when it comes to anything pc.
You’re welcome! I’m glad it was helpful for you 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Second and nice vid man! :) I am thinking of buying this chassi and the fans cuz they are sick!
Thanks Iceless! I highly recommend both the case and fans, you won’t be disappointed.
Nice vid. You must be stoked now that they brought out the reverse version so now you kan have intake fans with the infinity hub showing :)
Thanks! And that’s funny timing because I JUST bought the reverse blade fans for my current build ( NZXT H9 Flow ), and will be installing them soon 😎
This video helped me a lot! Ty for the tutorial bro
No worries 🤝
the 1-4 selection on each color scheme is for fans 1 through 4 of each daisy chain not each section of fans. so if you select only 2 of those for a 3 fan chain that is why one is dark. The chain for the radiator was fine since it was only 2 fans.
Appreciate the info 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
The timing on discovering your video review was helpful. I was looking into Lian Li fans to replace my Corsair fans because the white LED color has worn itself down to a yellowish opaque color for keeping it for 2 years. Knowing that the Lian Li doesn't save the color settings from their software tool and resets to default every time it boots up is a deal breaker. I hope there is a software fix to it, and would consider to buy it.
I am hoping they fix it too because the program auto boots, minimized to the task tray. It will only load my previous settings when I physically open the program up, but not when it auto boots to task tray. Seems like a software glitch and should be sorted out. When it is, these fans will be unmatched, except in the longevity department, that we shall see.
@@DanKamYouKnow that's interesting that it's not saved. My Lian li AL fans always boot in the profile and RGB settings.
The funny thing is that it technically is saved, but the settings aren’t being applied, until the program is physically open. Should of chosen my words more carefully
Great video Dan.
Appreciate you Justin
A great and informative video, Dan. Do you think these fans are higher quality than Noctua’s premium fans? Which is lower decibels at any given RPM?
Thanks Kanive! So far, these fans have been great. High RPM / low noise / good static pressure / incredible lighting. Wish I had the equipment to compare the 2 but couldn’t go wrong either way. They are on the completely opposite side of the spectrum as far as fan choice goes. Black and/or brown vs the most intense RGB lighting 🤣
Great video just got these and the new 140s to switch over into the hyte y60 actually haha so was happy to stumble across this. Plus the GOW figure in the case was a sick touch! Haha
Thanks!! I just bought the 140’s as well, for my new Hyte Y40 video I’m doing. Been using them for a few days and they’re great, work perfectly with the 120’s and the controller.
@@DanKamYouKnow awesome! The same connection cords for the control box work on the 140s also correct?
Yup! All cables are interchangeable and L-Connect 3 works perfectly with both of them 😎
I just bought 10 of these fans...two 3 packs and 4 singles...Lian Li really improved these fans. Can't wait to build my new AM5 rig.
Awesome! I am still using these fans, several months later and no issues. What case are you building in?
@@DanKamYouKnow I'm building in the Lian-Li 011 XL. It's going to be a full custom loop with three 360mm rads, custom front distro plate. I've been very anxious to start building but had to wait for some parts to become available. The Asus Crosshair Extreme motherboard took a little bit to get and 4090 arrives tomorrow. Only thing that's left now is the GPU waterblock. I want the wiring not to be a huge mess so the SL Infinity fans are really gonna help. Have you tried controlling them via controller and motherboard? The Asus Crosshair Extreme comes with its own ARGB/Fan controller that also uses a USB header so I'm thinking it would be best to stick to motherboard control.
Very nice, would love to see it once it’s done. I have personally only used the Lian Li software but I know a lot of people do not like the software and use their motherboard for fan speeds / RGB, and they have had no issues doing so. Would be much easier to only use your motherboard controller for sure
@@GSP-76 Does the improved version of the fans still have the memory issue which is one of the biggest cons in the video?
The memory problem has been fixed. I think a software update fixed it because the memory saves now
Dan, you've convinced me to buy those fans. Off-topic question: what are those little legs between the table and drawers? I want to raise my table higher, too.
Hey Richard, those are the IKEA CAPITA legs and boost the countertop ( desktop ) up to the right height. They are pretty much just furniture legs
I don’t even know how many times I watched this video because every time I learn something new, I will do exactly like you did Dan but if I may ask, do you think its the best to have radiator 360mm on top with exhaust fans ?
For this case, you can go either way. From multiple testing, it seems like a 280mm radiator on the side, with the fans set to intake, is the best for temps. BUT, a 360mm on top will work just fine. 👍🏻
Hey Dan nice video. I was wondering which LCD screen you used in the back and how you hooked it up.
Thanks, I documented everything in this video:
th-cam.com/video/vW-lqKMB6F4/w-d-xo.html
Links for the items I used are in the description
Thanks for going through every single RGB effect in L Connect! Thinking of getting these fans - how do you find the cooling performance?
Great! Had these fans for about a year now and they have been great for cooling.
Awesome review! Its what I was looking for since Im building in the exact same case. My question is if you had a chance to build with the SL120 V2 fans. It's either the V2's or these INF fans on a 280mm radiator on the side as intake. You mentioned the noise was fine @1600, but have been hearing different views on the sound, some saying it gets loud. So was wondering if you could do a push-pull with the Lian Li's at a low RPM on the inside and outer fans (Be quiet Silent Wings 4?) doing the heavy lifting.
The sound really depends on the case and that persons threshold for noise. Some people will say fans are loud if they’re audible at all, but I’m more acceptable and have a higher threshold for noise because I know PC’s aren’t quiet. Your push pull idea might work but I don’t like the push and pull fans to have too much of a varying fan speed
Hey Dan! Great video, how many intake & exhaust fans are you using? I’m thinking about getting the Hyte case
Thanks! 2 140mm intakes on the bottom / 2 120mm intakes on the side / 3 exhausts in the top. Works great.
Did you install the cover for mirror sides from smudge and scratches? I didn't see in the video. I bought them. Should I install them you think or unnecessary?
STOP!!! INCORRECT INFO!!!
In general, this video was fantastic. It was well edited, very informative, and extremely helpful in my new build with these Uni Fan SL-Infinity 120 fans. HOWEVER...
There's one fatal flaw here that I haven't seen addressed in the comments or spoken about in later videos and that's your incorrect info @1:57 on the airflow of the fans.
The side with the brackets is NOT the intake. It's the exhaust. The other side, sans brackets, is the intake.
This is demonstrated in JayzTwoCents' own video of the fans @16:10, when he shows a piece of paper being blown across the workbench by the BRACKET SIDE of the fans.
If you addressed this mistake in a later video and I missed it, my apologies. But, like I said, I looked at your video on the reverse blade version of these fans, plus went through all of the comments in this video, and didn't see anything to correct it, so I wanted to bring it up here.
Still a good video, but that piece of misinformation really needs to be corrected. Thanks.
I see what you mean but the fact is, if you see the spokes side of the fan in your case, they will be intake. In the case of my Y60, my side fans are intake and the top fans (showing the mirror), are exhaust.
sick fans, just bought 9 of them for my lian li 011 dynamic evo chassie, gonna be awesome to see em up and running, I see you got a screen at back inside of case, what screen is that? want one in same spot in my chassie instead of a fan
Nice! You won’t be disappointed with them, still love mine. It’s a 7” screen that’s unfortunately not available on Amazon anymore for some reason. Personally, I would measure your exact dimensions you’d need for the back and see what works for you. I took my measurements and then went to Amazon and found one that fit PERFECTLY.
Cool video, Dan. Finally went RGB. LOL
Thanks Fredo! Was waiting for super quality ones to come out, and I think these hit the mark 👌🏻😎
@@DanKamYouKnow yes they did.
How many fans can that controller provide power for? I’m looking to power a 3 fan daisy chain, 2 fan daisy chain, and a single. So 6 total. Awesome video by the way! I’m looking to build with the same case!
The controller can power up to 16 fans. You can power 4 fans with each port of the controller.
Your PC looks great 👍. Did you get your HP 45L case yet ? I wonder how many computers you need / have ? 😆😆
Thanks mate. HP actually just sent it to me and I will start building in it soon. I currently have 2 PC’s but also have a lot of spare parts. 😎
@@DanKamYouKnow Sounds great. I monitor my temps on my 30L. Its been reallhot weather here and temps than went up a bit. MSI afterburner did help though. If it stay high I will change the case. But the 45L is awesome. cool and nice design, the perfect PC and case for us 👍
Yeah, I’m exited to do a DIY build in the 45L case
I have Corsair H150i AIO, I want to change the fan from original corsair fan to SL120 fan. But if I don't use this PWM cable at 11:14, Is the SL120 fan will speed faster when my CPU temperature rises up?
If you are using the controller and the cable for the controller, then yes, you can use the Lian Li app
Hi Dan, I have a question about hooking up a AIO, Do you connect the fan controller to the CPU Fan Header? I asked Lian Li support but they couldn't answer me?
Also would a USB Splitter be able to see both controllers?
What AIO are you referring to? Also, what 2 controllers are you using? As far as the Lian Li fan controller, it doesn't have to be plugged into the motherboard. I explain it in the video but you can use the USB header that plugs into the controller, to plug into an available USB header on your motherboard. OR you can utilize the fan header connection that comes with the controller.
love your vids bro just got me the same case and fans but im a bit concerned does the case hide the top fans cant really see the infinity from, the side
Thank you!!! The top fans don’t sit far enough down to really see the sides of them. My desk is kind of taller so I can see them but they are a little hidden unfortunately 😩😑😞
The lighting features are nice, but I can't seem to find a way to save profile presets. It's kind of annoying to have to spend 15 minutes everytime I want to go from one look to another and then back to the previous look. Is there a preset feature?
I had this same issue, please see the pinned comment. Could be a BIOS setting that isn’t turned on because I also mentioned this in the video. Mine loads my specific profile every reboot now.
Would hooking the other cables to the motherboard help keep your settings??
I don’t believe so. The settings only kick when I open the program ( it auto starts to my task bar on boot ), so I assume it’s something to do with the software. You could be right though. Might have to experiment more.
Dan, thanks for the video and the demo for fan speeds. Regarding fan speeds, can you set individual fan curves for each separate fan? You showed that you could do that for each fan group (top, front, etc.) But can you do that for each individual fan in each grouping/cluster? Or does every fan connected to the L connect fan hub have to have the same custom curve? Thanks.
I don’t believe so, the fan curve control is only for groups of fans. I do not believe you can adjust each fan within a group/cluster
@@DanKamYouKnow Thanks.
What a beautiful beast!
Thanks!!
I know this is an older video but just curious if you had any issues with fans ramping up and down? Did you plug your controller up to SYS_FAN or CPU_FAN? I have my fans on an AIO and my case, but I want to plug my AIO fans on CPU fan and my case fans on sys fan to prevent full case ramp up. Just curious if you had any experience with that.
So, I still use these fans and controller, but the controller is only plugged into a USB 2.0 header on the motherboard and I have my AIO plugged into the CPU fan header. I control the pump speed thru the BIOS and control the fans with L-Connect 3. The controller is not plugged into any fan header, that may be your issue. I’ve never actually had an issue with fans ramping up and down
Happy I came across this video I have been torn between these Infinity fans with the L-connect 3 software and the new Corsair QX fans that look great and of course that apparently dominating Corsair Icue software. I am big on RGB but I also want good performance for what I am paying for. Is there any really good and beautiful option out there? I will be building in a Lian Li o11 Dynamic Razer Edition and I can't wait.
I’m not really sure what you’re asking but I’ve been using the Lian Li infinity fans for over a year and they’re great.
@@DanKamYouKnow haha, my apologies.. I’m basically asking Corsair QX fans or Lian Li infinity fans. I’m glad to hear they are going strong and you have answered my question!
Gotcha! I don’t think you can go wrong either way. Really depends on which one looks better to you, as that will be the main difference. 👍🏻
Hi Dan, question regarding HP Omens 25l.
Mine has the Hyper X Fury RGB 2x8gb 3200mhz, upon checking online Kingston is no longer making them since HP already bought the HyperX lineup.
Will it be okay to add Kingston FURY Beast RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory (New fury Rams from Kingston) to complete the 4 dims of RGB ram?
This video doesn’t have anything to do with Omens but I made a video on RAM for Omens. Usually mix matching RAM doesn’t work for Omens. They have to be all the same, Omen spec RAM doesn’t play nice with other RAM, even if it’s HyperX
Hey Dan. How did you set up your fans? how many exhaust fans and how many intake fans?
Hey Nicolas! I have the side fans set to intake, bottom fans set to intake, and the top fans set to exhaust.
considering you replaced your AIO fans with these, was there any difference in temps?
The Lian Li fans are actually higher RPM and quality than the ones included with the AIO. So while I did not do a side my side comparison, I didn’t want my rad fans to be all black and not match. My temps with these rad fans have been fantastic though.
Dan, could you please explain me how you control your fan speed on your aio, I have ryzen 5 7600x cpu and it keeps getting overheating with Lian Li fans.. I dont know which header to plug
All of my fans are plugged into the Lian Li fan controller but my AIO pump is plugged into my motherboard. So through my BIOS, I set the pump fan curve speed. Or I can use the NZXT CAM software to change the pump speed too
the fans are sold individually and also in kits of 3. Can I buy 1 kit of 3 fans, which comes with one controller, and then buy 7 individually, putting all of them on the controller that came with the 3 fans kit? or do i need to buy 3 kits of 3 fans, using one controller for every three fans
That is correct. The 3-packs come with the controller and the individual packs do not. One controller can power up to 16 fans ( 4 linked together x4 ).
What made you throw out the noctua performance and lower volume sound for rgb?
Hey Dan, great video I was looking over my fans, and the shiny sticker in the intake and the Lian li logo is the exhaust not sure if they fixed it I bought mine 2 days ago just wanted to share this with you
Are you positive? I just bought the new 140mm Lian Li Infinity fans and they’re still the same way
@@DanKamYouKnow yes am positive I used the toilet paper test just to confirm I wish I could post a video showing the results
I bought two of these as single units. No controller with them and did not buy it separately. I presume I can just connect them to my board and headers without the control and they will get power and RGB I just won't have any controller functionality. Is this correct?
Yes, the single packs come with connections for 4 pin fan and 5V ARGB. So they plug differently into your motherboard, and you’ll utilize the program for your motherboard
Just saw your new video did you change the cup fan sizes from 120mm to 140mm?
Lian Li came out with the 140mm version of their Infinity fans recently. They are used as the side intake fans on my build.
Tanks for this video
I just have a question: do you know if now the controller configuration is saved when you reboot your pc ?
Yes, that was resolved very quickly after I made the video.
hi i just found your channel well looking if the omen 25L if it is worth getting and i was just wondering what stock specs you got and if you have time what you did to upgrade it thank you.
Hey William, this video doesn’t have anything to do with Omens but I’ve made over a 30 video playlist on the Omen with modifications, reviews, and everything in between. Would be easier if you just join the Omen Discord group in my description.
@@DanKamYouKnow ok thank you
10:34
Hi! I bought such Lian Li fans. I would like to ask if it is normal for the fans to light up but not spin. I have not installed Lian Li or any OS. I was just wondering if they work. I connected it to the USB port of the motherboard.
When the fans are first installed, they may not spin or the lights might not work. You have to install L-Connect 3 and update the firmware for the fan controller, and they should work properly.
The split cable at 11:03, can I connect the PWM to another fan controller to let it control RPM while leaving the RGB unconnected?
The controller will still be plugged into my motherboard USB
I have no idea if that would work tbh.
So super weird i don't have all the settings you have in the software. I've only got system info, quick/sync lighting, and settings. It won't let me change colors or rpm fan speed. the software is up to date. any suggestions on how to fix this? sweet setup btw ive got the same case and fans in white.
Thanks! Do you have your controller hooked up with the micro USB cable that plugs into a USB header on your motherboard?
@@DanKamYouKnow That was it!! Thank you 😊 Thank you for replying
Nice! You’re welcome! 😎👌🏻
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.
Can we turn off the inside lights and keep the outter on only? Similar to the Warning setting in L connect
I do not believe so. I am looking at L-Connect 3 software and don't see a way to do that, unless I am missing it
@@DanKamYouKnow thanks for checking
What screws did you use for your aio because mine arnt long enough I need longer screws but don’t know which to get
I used the screws that came with my AIO, they’ve worked with multiple fans, including my Lian Li Infinity fans.
So I understand that if I connect the controller to SYS_FAN instead of CPU_FAN, the AIO fans will not turn on until I'm in windows. Can I connect to CPU_FAN header instead of SYS_FAN? Will that work?
That may be an issue with your BIOS because the fans should come on to whatever fan curve each fan header is set to. But to answer your question, sure, you can use an fan header. I personally just use the controller and plug it in to a USB 2.0 header and plug my AIO pump into my CPU_fan header. Control fan speeds with the software and the CPU_fan header with the BIOS
Hi Dan! I have been following your channel for a couples of weeks and your videos have been a great help. I am planning to move my 25l set up to the Hyte Y60 and set up couples of Lian Li RGB fans and the controller. As there isn't any RGB ports on my Omen motherboard, could the controller work without an RGB port? And could the controller work with non-Lian RGB fans? Thank you very much!
Hey Ben! So, there may be a few issues. The Lian Li controller requires an available USB 2.0 header to be able to “talk” to the motherboard and the Omen does not have any open USB 2.0 headers, so you would need a splitter. Secondly, from what I have seen with other manufacturers, the Omen motherboard may make it so the Lian Li software won’t recognize the controller. I’ve seen people try Corsair controllers with Omens and the software doesn’t recognize it.
Honestly, if you’re swapping cases, I’d consider swapping motherboards too. And no, the Lian Li controller only works with Lian Li fans
@@DanKamYouKnow Thank you very much for your advice! I have found a solution to a similar case which I will link below. This guy plugs a USB 2.0 splitter to the header which was originally powering the small light control module at the bottom of the case. He then plugs his light & fan control module to the splitter and the software recognizes the fans. I think I would buy the Lian Li first and test it on my Omen motherboard and switch to a now mother board if this doesn't work.
Let me know if it works out for you!!!
@@DanKamYouKnow Hi! I got my Lian Li stuffs today and the fans work pefectly well so I would probably keep the Omen motherboard. I can't wait to switch my 25L build to the new case!
That’s great to hear Ben! Have you already purchased the Y60?
Probably won't answer, but with the splitter at 12:40, do it only control the RGB or will the fan speed(s) adjust, too?
I'm looking to use the splitter on my GPU's AIO (2x 120mm) and a single 140mm above them (the on the side of an 011 Dynamic EVO XL). Is the splitter capable of that, or do I need to use a second controller? Thanks.
It will adjust fan speed too. For your 2nd question, why would you need a 2nd controller? Do you have more than 4 groups of fans?
Will these fans work with the kraken x72 cooler ? The kraken cooler has 3 fan connections would I even connect the one lian li connection to it or just not use it at all and use the lian li controller
The 3 pin connection from your pump will plug into your CPU_fan header on your motherboard, and you’ll control the pump speed with the BIOS fan curve settings. The Lian Li fans will plug into the controller
so I have a nzxt Kranken 360 mm Aio that im gonna be using with these fans and my question is if my cpu temps will be fine until I will be able to get the fans to spin because I'm gonna be using L connect
Yes, your CPU will be completely fine while you set up and update L-Connect 3
Planning to get this for my new build with td500 mesh
😎😎😎😎😎
@DanKamYouKnow how do you find out how much power supply you need?
Usually your GPU’s website is your best bet. What CPU / GPU you using?
Ryzen 7 5700x/5700g and either FTW3 Ultra 3070 or aorus master 3070 or Rog strix 3070
@@DanKamYouKnow also how do you get a Rog strix 3070 white for cheaper than $900
hi can i get usb cable as my son put it down the tolite
Hey there, so, I got a problem with mine, the software won't let me update my fans...
What do you mean? Does it say that there isn’t an update?
OK had to stop in and hopefully help others with Lconnect 3 being unresponsive. For me i had to unhook my monitor USB cable to computer. The Gigabyte FI32U has a hub with soundcard, i had the sound card disabled thinking that would help, nope.
I tried different versions of Lconnect and none would be responsive, always click on something then about 30 sec to minute later it would change. Now its working great.
Also i fixed Snowrunner being unresponsive when alt-tabbing out or clicking out of snowrunners window.
Win 11 22h2 all updated and also newest drivers for everything. 13900k, 4090, 32gb gskill 7200, 5 m.2 ssds, 1 sata ssd.... :)
Interesting, never had the program be unresponsive. Thanks for the comment about it
@@DanKamYouKnow Thx, yea never even thought about it since i disabled the onboard monitor sound and all drivers are newest
what do y'all think the longevity is on these? My 13 year old Antec blue LED fans still work
Almost a year with my fans since this video and no issues. Problem is, these fans aren’t old enough yet to really see how long they last. I have heard mixed reviews on these, but I heard Lian Li customer service is fantastic, if issues arise. Hope that helps
The fan max is where I'm confused because I have the sl inf 120 fans (infinity) and it says in manual when sync to mb and set 100% bright, it only supports up to 8 infinity fans on the controller. So does that mean I need two controllers for 9 fans (3 sets of 3 fans connected together)?
I have these on a rad for new build. Am I going to have cooling issues knowing they won't be running until I have windows installed?
Are you using L Connect 3 to control the fan speeds? Or do you have them plugged into motherboard headers? The controller can support up to 16 fans ( 4 per port and there is 4 ports total ).
No, I have had these fans in numerous rads in different configurations and they work really well against rads as static pressure fans.
@DanKamYouKnow thanks I got my Q answered in reddit.
So apparently when running white led, if more than 8 fans then it reduces brightness to 80%.
Regarding fans, they said they'll still run fine as long as plugged into mb, even before driver/sw install
Hi! Ur water cooling is 240mm? Can i put on it 120mm infinity fans?
Yes, the AIO I am using has a 240mm radiator and can fit two 120mm fans
Thanks Dan.. bought the same fan. However after installingm fans doesnt spin. But there is rgb.. do I need to install first iconnect software? So the fan can start spinning? Thanks a lot.
Yes! Make sure you install L-Connect 3 and update the firmware for the fans and controller. My fans didn’t spin at first either
@@DanKamYouKnow thanks a lot. Thought my fans are faulty.. 🙂
@@DanKamYouKnow I've 3x3. They're not spinning or showing RGB. The micro usb is plugged in but nothing else, so it should be getting powered by the software. The software and firmware have been updated (v1.4), and my MB bios too. In device manager I can see Lian Li Infinity v1.4 and L-Connect 3 shows 4 ports despite only 3 being plugged in. It shows them at zero RPM. I recognise this video is a year old, but nobody is replying on /r/buildapc or /r/lianli, and I'm on the verge of giving up and going back to Noctua.
Do the fans go lower than 25% RPM? making them dead silent?
They are extremely quiet under around 850RPM. Yes, you could set them to 500 RPM
Is it possible to turn off the rgb on the sides and only on the fans and the line thing?
No, I don’t believe so and I don’t see anything in L-connect 3
Hey Dan, I've heard the fans are much brighter when controlled directly from the motherboard. Is this true?
I honestly have not tried with the motherboard RGB headers, I’ve only used the controller an Lian Li software. I will have to try it with the fan / RGB headers one of these days.
@@DanKamYouKnow Thanks for the response! For your liking, are they bright enough straight from the software?
Oh yeah, no complaints on brightness at all! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@DanKamYouKnow Ok, thanks for the help!
Hi, did I overhear any hint of the volume of noise, these fans emit? No other review of this fans says anything about it... I'm afraid, I have to try by myself and send them back, if they are too loud, as the sl 120 definitely are. But neverthelesse, thx4 the vid.
Case plays a huge factor in acoustics but under about 900RPM, these fans are dead quiet. From 900-1400, you can hear a slight whir and anything over is definitely audible. With a less aggressive fan curve, these fans are barely audible. If you want dead quiet, go Noctua or lower your fan curves.
@@DanKamYouKnow Hi, thx a lot! 😀 The problem with the SL 120 is, they run min@800 rpm and then they are not without any noise, slightly silent, but audible... I have to look, but your review and this answer gave me a nice advice! 😀
Glad to hear. Good luck with your search
So when you first turn on the PC, the fans don't run right? You still have to install the L connect software. Will that damage the pc while the fans are not running while you're still installing Windows and then eventually L connect? Since the fans were not spinning yet.
Nope, you should be totally fine. Keep your side panels off if you are worried about it, but even with zero percent fan speed and the PC is not under load, it’ll be fine.
@@DanKamYouKnow Appreciate it sir. I was a bit worried about that. Thank you! :)
Are the AIO fans backwards? It seems like that would be pulling hot air from the radiator into the case, no?
I actually want them as intake because airflow was crippled when the side and top were exhaust. Temps were much better when I had the radiator fans as intake.
@@DanKamYouKnow Thanks! I just went and bought 2 3-packs and a single today. 1 more question... when you use the Splitter to connect a 3rd fan with the pair of AIO fans, does that third fan's speed adjust as well, or just RGB control?
It will control both since they’ll both be plugged into the controller
Sir do windows detect it as a threat while installing, heard it on reddit post
do they come with a set of screws for mounting to a rad
No, the AIO will come with those screws.
I want to know more about the screen in the back
I have a question on the omen 25L so I recently switched pc’s and I took the nvme m.2 ssd and gave the old pc to my wife it has a regular ssd in it with windows but for the life of me I can’t get it to get through the boot it gets stuck at windows then after restart it tells me my fan isn’t showing (not my cpu fan btw) does it need a m.2 to boot or something even though I have an ssd with windows already installed it won’t show I have windows on it so I have to use an usb any thoughts?
Can you boot into BIOS? Probably need to change boot priority
@@DanKamYouKnow I actually did the dumbest thing and didn’t check the ram so when I did check the ram I switched them around and it booted just fine I feel like a noob😂
Lol! At least you got it all squared away. 👌🏻
just ordered these 2 days ago very difficult to find lian li parts in canada , not sure why its one of the most popular cases in the world
While the stock is a little better in the USA, finding Lian Li (and NZXT for that matter) products can be really difficult. They are either extremely popular or their manufacturing process is really slow.
I think most people should plug the mobo sync cable in as well just in case they want to use that feature later.
That’s true. I don’t like how L-Connect 3 isn’t usable if motherboard sync is selected though. I won’t ever use it but it is a good idea to have that option if needed.
What Case are you in atm. I’m loving that setup.
Thanks! It’s the Hyte Y60 case. It normally comes with 3 glass panels but I left them off for the video ( easier to see the contents of the PC ). I made 2 videos on it if you want to check it out 🙏🏻
@@DanKamYouKnow I seen the video right after I commented. Maybe getting it this week.
Great case. Not the best airflow but it’s not bad by any means. Easy to build in and looks fantastic.
Is there a way to force the control to default to pass-through mode when it powers on?
What do you mean by pass-through mode?
@DanKamYouKnow the setting that allows the MB signal to be used a the ligh control. It's the "MB Sync Lighting" toggle. The default option for the controller is that i will display rainbow, even if the MB signal is red. If ypu start L-connect, Nd you have this toggle turned on then you fans will change to red. However if you allow this setting to be applied as default behavior the user wouldn't need to start extra software.
Oh gotcha, the motherboard sync toggle in L-Connect 3. I have always used the application for all of my lighting control and I’m not currently utilizing the 5v RGB cables that plug into the board ( everything goes to my controller ). So I unfortunately don’t know if it will default to MB upon reboot. You might want to check a Lian Li forum or the many Lian Li users Facebook groups there are.
Sorry I could be of more help
if you see this comment back i bought this prebuilt pc with a 1660 super amd am upgrading it to a 3060 is there anything i need to know?
Pretty much everything you need to know is explained in this video.
Make sure your psu can handle the 3060
Do i need more controllers if i have 2 140mm fans and 4 120mm fans in my pc?
I currently have all my Lian Li fans plugged into the Lian Li controller. Then I have my 2 140mm fans plugged into my motherboard with a y-split cable.
@@DanKamYouKnow ohhh ok thanks!
I bought 9 fans plus a Galahad 360 and the L-Connect 3 is almost non responsive on my system
Really? I haven’t had an issue yet with L-Connect 3. May want to try and reinstall
Dan im having issues with several things. Fans strimmers and nzxt z73. Idk what to do
And what are the issues?
@DanKamYouKnow ok so I have the whole lian li fan setup and the 2 strimmerv2 plus and nzxt kraken z73 I just need someone to tell me if it's wired right and if I can vid chat u on here or discord somewhere so I can show u the mess and prob I'm running into
what screen are you using for rear?
The screen I used isn’t available on Amazon anymore, but this one fits:
amzn.to/3PnZF8s
We’re those 140’s or 120’s on the back?
With the radiator? Mine are 120mm but you can fit 140mm fans too
When I downloaded the software the only options it gave me is system info and settings. I can access the fans for some reason, do you have any recommendations?
Did you update the controller firmware?
@@DanKamYouKnowhow do I do that?
Assuming the controller is hooked up through a USB 2.0 header on your motherboard, go to Settings and click on Update.
@@DanKamYouKnow yes it is connected to my usb 2. When I press update nothing seems to be happening.
Might want to talk to Lian Li support and see what they say. Not sure why your board isn’t recognizing it
good review on the fans buuuuut you have the air flow description reversed ma dude
Yeah, someone commented on this recently as well. I said it in a weird way but meant that when the spoke side of the fan is seen in the case, its intake and vice versa for the infinity mirror side. Thanks for not being super rude about it like the last guy! Lol
What would one do if i hypothetically got the one that plugs into the fan backwards, the one that was idiot proof. I guess I’m an idiot
I’m not sure I understand what you mean.
The piece you plug onto the fan is what I’m referring too. I got it in the wrong way. An update on the situation, it got stuck from being in the wrong way, it broke when I finally got it out, and now I need a new connection
lcd on back pannel please
th-cam.com/video/vW-lqKMB6F4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mfRqWwc-OtRT1egW
I made a video on it but availability for the monitor I used kind of sucks
How about 2 controllers, will there be any problems with Lconnect3?
I’m not sure. How many fans are you planning on running? I tried a Google search and I don’t really see any info on it either.
@@DanKamYouKnow I was going to use 6 groups of fans in my O11DE. 3 + 3 on top, 3 to the side, 3 in front, 3 from below, 1 from behind (16 in total). Therefore, I wanted to divide them between two controllers.
Gotcha, I honestly don’t know if L-Connect 3 can handle 2 controllers. Trying to find info online to see if people have done it but don’t see any. You can try Lian Li support before you spend the money for the fans. Please let me know what you find out so I know for future use.
@@DanKamYouKnow actually, I have already found the answer in similar reviews. On your video (th-cam.com/video/fQ6v85Z_4po/w-d-xo.html ) the tab "SL-inf Controller01" is highlighted, so when adding any controllers compatible with Lconnect 3, new tabs will appear (SL-inf Controller02... Controller SL-inf 03).
That’s great to know! Thank you
多謝！
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What are transparent stickers.?
Huh?
Ohh, the clear things that come with the fans? They are to protect the mirror finishes on the fans
I remove the ones that came when installing? And if have to storage again I reapply for protection tks for the info
Yes, remove the little film that come on them, then apply the protectors.
Give me fun toys with flashing lights and I'm a happy man.
😎😎😎👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
hey dan could you mabey post some gameplay videos every once in a while
What kind of games? I uploaded a Minecraft video a long time ago that was fun, but doesn’t really follow the theme of my channel.
@@DanKamYouKnow cod red dempt gta god of war etc
@@DanKamYouKnow u should create a gaming channel
I actually do have a DanKamGames channel already made, just haven't uploaded anything
@@DanKamYouKnow oh 👍
Hey nice Video🙃 ,one question ,wich Fans do you use at the bottom ? Thx
I used Noctua 140mm fans for the bottom:
amzn.to/3FsR941
I just put 10 in and no spinning just lights
Download and run the Lian Li software. They won’t work until the firmware for the controller is updated
@@DanKamYouKnow I had to manually update the firmware because they would not spin on restart or turning on from shut down. I had to allow permission every time I booted my pc. I am good now! :)
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
No ware as bad as I need for my Corsair 1000d 32 120mm fans I need
1000D is such a monster case
