I’m new to building a pc and just spent $3500 on a new build. This video saved me 200$ and helped me troubleshoot my problem of not booting properly. What do you know the most basic of basic but helped me get my rig going so thank you for the hard work. 🎉
Great review of the Lian Li Edge PSU. I'm doing a new ATX build and this is exactly what I'm looking for. Lian Li has even renovated PSU's. Products based on on the problems that real PC builders go through and quality innovation. I just bought the Edge PSU based on your video. Outstanding work.
Excellent video quality, very nice editing. It's a A+ tutorial Edit- You don't have nearly enough fans.......to run this rig on the surface of the sun.
I've got the bug, so I'm contemplating the same plan. I was going to get a be quiet Dark Power 13 Pro, but this PSU is tempting design wise. However, I severely doubt I'll be able to get my hands on a 5090, so I don't know if I'll end up doing the build at all. But I'm parting it out just in case.
The one complaint I have with my own build is cable management. I'm using an old EVGA 1300 Supernova G2 in a Lian Li O11 Dynamic Evo. While it does fit, the cable routing is just terrible. Looks nice and clean up front... just don't open up the back panel LOL. I really like the design of this PSU. It'll make the cable management considerably easier.
I have the white 1300w version of this I love it mainly for the USB hub on the psu and the connection can be made from the motherboard USB on the outside vs the USB header which has caused me issues with disconnecting. Can not wait to see the hydroshift review too
Hi... excellent video as always... just a couple notes: 1) You show the TL Controller connecting to the USB Hub, then the hub connecting to the internal USB 2.0 header on the motherboard... with this setup, you will only be able to connect two TL LCD fans to a port, due to USB specs. 2) When you show the 12VHPWR cable connected to the power supply, there is still blue showing... the reason for the blue on the end of the cable, is to show if it is plugged in all the way or not. If plugged in all the way, you should not see any blue between the base of the power supply and the cable (just that little bit, if you look through the "window" of the plug).
Regarding your first note, what is the optimal way to proceed? I personally have 10 TL fans on the way with 1 controller and the exact same PSU. Please advise.
@@JohanJohara If you are only using regular TL fans, then no issues connecting the TL Controller to the built-in hub of the Edge PSU... if you are using TL LCD fans at all, and there will be at least one group of three, then you just need to make sure that the TL Controller is connected directly to the internal USB 2.0 header on your motherboard
I currently have a white deepcool 850 PSU, and I'm strongly considering upgrading to this white Lian Li 1000 PSU to complete my Lian Li build. Wish this was out when I originally built my PC a month ago. It would have been my first choice. Same thing with the new Hydroshift AIO.
I have this PSU coming in a few days. Wasn't sure if it had the new GPU standard , great that it does. Now add strimers and wires from 9 fans and AIO for the real wire management challenge. RGB hook ups double the build time. 😅
it includes the 2x8 to 16 pin cable for the gpu cose on their website is showing this is only for the 1300w version but in this video you have the 1000w version
They're basically a powered expander for usb ports on your motherboard. Most motherboards only have one or two USB headers. Some things, like fans, LCD screens on coolers, etc. need usb.
Thanks for the video. Does the fan run silent or just quiet? I have an EVGA PSU that has done me well but unless I put it in eco mode I can hear the fan when the rest of my PC is at idle.
I don't understand the question. If you're asking if you need sata power for fan controllers (like Lian Li's) as well as the usb then the answer is yes
I just got the 1300 version for my new build and love it - it's white but have some purple tone even the cables The cable quality is great! However, I'm having issues connecting two TL LCD controllers to the PSU USB hub. It's not detecting all my LCDs fast enough (three 140mm fans linked per port on the controller, not using port 1). I've tried using the PSU internal MB 9-pin connector cable and the USB 2 to 9-pin adapter, but the issue persists. As a result, 1 LCD fans' screens are off on each fans set, and I'm not getting any RGB functionality. Additionally, I'm getting a message from Windows 11 saying 'too many USB hubs connected-5 max per hub.' When I connect two LCD fans per port (ports 2, 3, and 4), I don't have the issue with the LCDs not being detected. The Device Manager detects all six LCD fans and the controller unit. When I link 2 fans per port I don't' have the LCD or RGB issue it's only when I connect 3 fans. fast I've also updated the fans and controller to the latest firmware using L-Connect 3. However, L-Connect 3 is behaving strangely, grouping some LCDs together instead of organizing them by port. Sorry for this mixed Lian Li experience explanation! LOL... great videos, buddy!

Can you look at the 600W power cords? The guys at my tech shop are saying it should have a hook on them so the cords aren’t easily pulled out Both of mine don’t have the hook/tooth with ease they can just be pulled off my 4090 Are my cords duds??
The weird thing about this 12vhpwr cable is that Lian Li webpage calls it custom 12v 2x6 cable, but we have "12vhpwr" on the connector. I mean, if rtx 50 series will use 12v 2x6, this PSU could be a great option for new GPUs, but this 12v2x6/12vhpwr thing is confusing to me. Especially concidering all those troubles with 12vhpwr, melting connectors etc. Or maybe I'm not getting something.
why does that 4070 come with a 4 way and not a 3 way splitter? My 4080 Super pulls 380watts overclocked heavily in games and uses 3 8 pins into a new 12V high power connector. each of those connectors is capable of well over 150watts. That 4070 is not going to be pulling anywhere close to 600watts so it shouldn't have the 4 plug adapter version.
@TheProvokedPrawn right okay, makes more sense, those adapters are so ugly, no idea why nvidia ever thought they were a good idea. The adapter should be on the PSU I think. 3 or 4 8 pins straight into a 12VHPW cable

Thank you my friend.
that 24pin motherboard is a beast cable to tame if its not braded like the one on the video lol. Wish all PSU's offered cables that way
Thank God there is molex. For those of us that do water-cooling a lot of the components still need molex!
Excellent guide! Good work!

I'm considering this power supply for Phanteks NV5
it includes the 2x8 to 16 pin cable for the gpu cose on their website is showing this is only for the 1300w version but in this video you have the 1000w version
Great video! If I have a case with vented holes on top of the psu shroud, will this psu fit the more traditional cases too? Thanks!
It should
Oh, so the usb slots on the psu serves as a sort of alternative to power the controls for what rgb fans you're using?
They're basically a powered expander for usb ports on your motherboard. Most motherboards only have one or two USB headers. Some things, like fans, LCD screens on coolers, etc. need usb.
Best hx 1000i?
Does the single usb cable that you connect from the psu to the back of the motherboard come with the package, or do i need to buy it separately?
Does the power supply come with a molex cable?
I plan on getting this PSU (1300W) for my new build… However, can I use the new Seasonic native 12V-2X6 12VHPWR 90deg cable with this PSU & 4090?
Thanks for the video. Does the fan run silent or just quiet? I have an EVGA PSU that has done me well but unless I put it in eco mode I can hear the fan when the rest of my PC is at idle.
do you need the sata connectors when using the USB fan hubs?
I don't understand the question. If you're asking if you need sata power for fan controllers (like Lian Li's) as well as the usb then the answer is yes
@@TheProvokedPrawn oh I see, some1 else told me that if you use the USB from the PSU u don't need the SATA
