Just wanted to provide an update on a test i did with the uni controller in the cpu_fan header. The uni controller's pwm cable didn't work for me in the cpu header as my mobo said there was no fan connected (the uni pwm fan cable has only 1 cable coming from it). As such I used a 1 to 2 fan Y-splitter (1 to 2 being 2 fan connections to1 header) where i plugged my sl120 uni fans that are on my radiator into the y-splitters master fan header (the master fan header is 4 pins) and then i plugged the uni fan controllers pwm cable into the slave fan header on the Y-splitter. This means the motherboard detected a cpu fan which instructed the cpu fans to spin up more when it heated up thus allowing it to adjust it's PWMs. What this means is when the master fan adjusts it speed it then tells the uni fan controllers fans (if theyre in pwm) to adjust fan speed based on what the master fan connection is doing. I've seen a lot of people asking online if the above is possible and after testing i can confirm it is. The only thing i made sure of was that in my bios the cpu-fan was set to pwm and not auto or dc. Also adding the l-connect program can be set to auto run on windows boot by typing run and when the run program pops up typing shell:startup. Then you copy the lian li programs short cut to the shell:startups location and then windows will automatically boot it every time (again tested it by rebooting numerous times and it started every time without fail). Thanks.
Hi Aaron Portillo. Good finding, glad you find a way to resolve your issue. I have never face your issues and yes the cable that comes with the uni fan controller, has only one cable on the fan connector which is to change the rpm speed only. When set to pwm on the L-Connect app without triggering motherboard mode, the motherboard is doing the actual work as in temperature readings, then the unifan controller just pick up the rpm that was determined by the motherboard. This is where the uni fans reacts and changes speed. With this said, thank you for your detail write out. This will be useful to those who are facing a similar situation like yours. I have learn something new from you too. Thank you. Post pined 👍
@@KleoYan No worries. Not so much of an issue for me but more of a way that incorperates all the fans into one header. A lot of people seem to want the radiator fans and case fans (all uni fans) to adjust its speed based on what the cpu's temperature is doing (which is fair and its something that i wanted as well). By having the radiator fans as the pwm controller it fixed everything. I've also noted on the lian li 011 dynamic (thats the case ive now got) people report high temperatures - the temperatures go to about 60c for cpu and 68 for gpu but for me that is perfectly fine and acceptable.. theyre the same temperatures my massive pc case (corsair 780T) was doing so i consider it a win to half the size and keep the same temps or a bit better at times. The scary part is testing things but hopefully people wont have to now with the above answers. Thanks for your vote of confidence and kind words i appreciate it dude. Will watch more of your videos in the future. :)
@@JXP93 thanks to you... I've learned something new from you. like i said, there are things I do not know but through unselfish people like you to have share this knowledge, I get to learn. I greatly appreciated your time and efforts to explain so in-depth. Thank you for sharing this to the rest and with me especially. I like your style :) thank you again buddy.
Kleo Yan deserves to have 100k plus subs! Amazing content. I followed your instructions and set up my unifans, my AIO, and strimmer Plus and they are working amazingly. Keep the content coming brother, thanks for putting this out there!
Hey Bud! Just wanted to again say thank you. I followed the guide today to get mine working finally. Next step is to plug the galahad into the controller😁
I recently updated all my case fans to UniFans (3 groups in total) and got a really bitter taste after finding the L-Connect doesn't even register one of my grouped fans' rpms (just the rgb). Your videos are a Godsend, best ones on RUclips for these fans! Instant like and sub for me. Will try the fixes after work and hope to resolve this stupid issue on the otherwise best fans on the market.
Hi Nikola Mladenoff, welcome to my channel and thank you for the compliment. it actually depends on which motherboard you are using, sometimes it's the motherboard utility app that tooks over control over L-Connect app. in that case if you have updated the chipset and it does not work, I would advise you to remove your motherboard utility app and the L-Connect app using Revo uninstaller www.revouninstaller.com/ . once done, reboot your PC, install L-Connect as administrator mode. test out your fans. if it works then install your motherboard utility app.
@@KleoYan Hi, Kleo, thanks for the reply. I updated the bios and the chipset and then removed the mb utility app and l-connect with Revo, however L-Connect still cannot recognise group 1 of my fans. I set the fan header on the MB to PWM, but neither the MB nor the app receive rpm information about group 1. I thought about replacing the cable with one of the leftover ones, but since the RGB works and the fan is spinning, I rule out having a faulty or badly connected cable to the fans. I guess it might be just an uncompatible motherboard sadly :( I'm using MSI B450 Carbon Max Wi-Fi.
@@nikolamladenoff3516 Hi, thank you for your reply. Just a note, does your SL fan react when you connect only the USB and Sata cable to the uni controller? it should shows you the RPM on L-Connect. maybe you can give that a try first. I am not too sure if you have watch this video ruclips.net/video/Rm2emeyMUAk/видео.html it might aid you.
@@KleoYan Yes, the fans are spinning at the lowest speed(probably default) and the lighting goes to default mode also, but it works. The problem initially occurred when I installed L-Connect for the first time - Group 2 and 3 stayed as they were, Group 1 went to full blast and L-Connect does not register any rpms, but only for Group 1. The other 2 fan groups have rpm and react to changes in the mode. I watched all your videos, of course :D I believe I connect everything properly. Does it matter whether I have connected the usb connector to a usb 2.0 or 3.2 header on the MB ? Maybe you have mentioned that but I don't really remember.
@@nikolamladenoff3516 Try switching the non working fan group to another port on the controller. If they still don't work you may have a bad cable or a poor mate of the cable with the fan it's connected to. Try plugging it into a port you know works.
Hi Huy Vo, welcome to my channel and thank you for your compliment. I am glad some of my videos did aid you on your PC build. I wish you all the best in your build and thank you to have subscribe to my channel :)
@@KleoYan I am honestly having problems with mine and i feel like it'd be a great topic to bring up. I will message you all the details iiwhen i get a chance.
@@KleoYan No need to trouble shoot, i''ll eventually find the problem. Upgrading my GPU I had a short, leading to half RGB working. I also have the Z73 cam, and it works normally but no LCD display. With my 9 RGB unifans connected by your instruction multiple different times, new wires i'm not sure if this is what the end of them look like but as far as troubleshooting they work and are sensed fine, i just have no control over any of the color. The three fans ( daisy chained ) all show about 20 percent of the entire fan itself ( one corner or side ) I am not blaming you or anything but i love the videos, and want to know what you think or how you would trouble shoot. New vid idea!
You are awesome, thank you for this! Fixed my issue. However, I'm trying to use two of these controllers. The device manager detects both of them but once I bypass the manual controller (holding M1 down for 3 seconds) I lose lights. I notice in the software there are only spots for 4 ports. Do you know if there is a way to add the addtional 4 port from the other controller or am I screwed? To be clear, I'm trying to run two sets of strimer cables. First set works, second set not working. If this can't work, what about modifying the cable to hook straight up to an ARBG hub?
hi Kilgoran, at the moment, when you mentioned that you are using two controllers. Are you referring to use two strimer plus controller to a unifan controller? if you are using 2 strimers controllers without the uni controller. yes you can get a spliter which connects the 2 strimers controller to your motherboard. if you are using 2 strimer plus controller with a uni controller. you can just plug each strimer plus controller to indvidual output of the uni controller. this video will show you one ruclips.net/video/Y0ni_tfcX3g/видео.html you can repeat to plug another into another output.
Hi Kleo! Thank you for your time making this video. Unfortunately, I still have trouble with my lian li fans where the device manager won't recognize it. I have an ASUS motherboard and was wondering what I can possibly do to fix this? Is this a controller issue or something else? Thank you!
Hi Mingyu, welcome to my channel. Mind if I ask, which uni fans are you using? SL or AL and which L-Connect application you have installed? will need to know more info on what you are using before I can try to aid you out. also which Asus motherboard are you using? In generall these are some troubleshooting steps you might want to look into. 1) If you do have the Asus Armoury Crate installed before the L-Connect app, kindly uninstall both apps. for Asus Armoury Crate, kindly make use of their uninstaller, check your motherboard utlity page. As for L-Connect, uninstall it using revo uninstaller. This will remove all leftover files and registry in your system 2) Turn off your system, unplug the USB cable between then uni controller to your motherboard USB header. leave it for 30 to 45 seconds. replug the USB cable again, turn on your machine. once loaded into windows, go to device manager, look under Universal Serial Bus Devices. Do you see your uni controller in it? 3) Next if you are using SL fans and the controller does not have the SL marking on it. download L-Connect and install it. test it. 4) If you are using SL Fans and the controller that does have the SL Marking, download L-Connect 2 and install it, test again. This apply to AL fans too. 5) If you intend to use the L-Connect 2 but your SL Fans and the controller does not have the SL Marking, you will need to do a firmware. ruclips.net/video/hZpzR_4917c/видео.html hope all these will aid you.
@@KleoYan Hi Kleo, I'm currently using an ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero motherboard, L-Connect2, and have an SL fan. Hope this could help troubleshoot this issue :(
@@KleoYan My controller got SL on it and I disconnected the cord from the controller for 30 sec and tried to do what you told me, but it still does not show up on my device manager. :(
@@kuolGG ok one last go before I ask you to approach lian li tech or to request for a replacement control unit. Your mobo have a 2nd usb socket. Can you try changing the usb connection from mobo socket usb 1 to usb 2. If that does not work. Try clear cmos of your mobo. If it still does not work. I am afraid you need to contact lian li tech support or even to have your controller replaced.
Hey bud just found your video and gotta say they are great very informative! I have one issue and was wondering if you could help. Looked everywhere with no results. I have two uni fans and they were connected directly to L-connect>MB. I upgrade AIO and needed a 2.0 hub for both AIO and L-connect. Well now my Uni RGB when I cold start they start in Rainbow RGB unlike before they use to start from my selected colors. It doesn't chance until i log in to windows.
Hi Kal EI, welcome to my channel .. regarding about the L-Connect V 2.0, Lian-li official website ( lian-li.com/product/uni-fan-sl/ ) have stated that they have remove that due to issues. if you do encounter problems to get your hub work, kindly raise an RMA case with them. lian-li.com/faq/ . do pardon me as I am not able to aid you on this. unless you are using the version 1.0. thank you!
Hey man, love your videos. I have had the unifans for about a month and they are working great. Yet I have a problem with the RGB cable with the 'sidehooks', somehow it does not properly lock itself in some of the slots of my controller. I actually have two controllers which have that problem with 1 slot. Am I stupid and doing something wrong or is the quality of that part lacking?
Hello Yorickos, welcome to my channel and thank you for the compliment. The hook is actually at the top. The side is there for you to hold on to. It does not really hook. So long the top lock is lock properly. You will be just fine. Once again thank you for your question and if you do like my content. Remember to subscribe 😊

@Kleo Yan Hi there. I've had these installed for 7 or 8 months, I've 3 uni fans on one 360 radiatior and grouped into group 1. Also another 3 fans connected as a group on another 360 radiator as group 2. But in all this time I've had a problem that I've never been able to fix. So when running the Lian LI app, it reports the speed only on group 1 fans and I can control the speed of this group fine. But the other group continually spins at maximum RPM all the time. Now, I can change the colours on both groups of fans, but the speed control only works on the first group. I'm not using motherboard software to deal with the PWN or RGB, using the Lian Li controller box. All I have connected is the 4 cables from the 2 groups of fans (2 each the 3 pin and the 4 pin to the controller) then the power SATA to PSU and the USB to the motherboard. Can you please tell me no matter what I do, the 2nd group of fans continually spin at max RPM and the app shows "0 RPM".
Hi TonyTurbo, welcome to my channel. to narrow down your issue. it will be best to test the group 2 fans individually on another output of the uni controller, lets say use on group 3. this is to ensure that it's not a fan issue. if all works. then test one whole set to group 3 or 4. if that works. it could be group 2 output is not working properly.
@@KleoYan hey there. Yes I've done all that. Tried the other controller, plugged the cables in to different fans, only thing Ive never tried over the months is different cables cables as I could never find them haha. But surely not cable related as I can change colour fine and the fans spin maxed out. Maybe tomorroe I'll look up in thd loft once again. It's been like this since I bought them at the start of the year and just put up with it. Only reason I'm tackling it again is because tonight when gaming there was a horrible noise coming from my case. It turns out that the bearings have gone on one the lian li 120 uni fans which was in the group of 3 that's been running maxed out for 7 or 8 months. I'm guessing I should worry about the other2 from that ssmd group now haha. Thanks for getting back to me.
@@TonyTurbo78 you are most welcome. You have a very interesting channel going 😊 btw maybe try connect the problematic fans that are spinning at max directly to one of your motherboard fan headers. See if they react to what you have control in your motherboard UEFI or Bios. If it does not react. I would advise you to get it change with Lian Li, since they are still under warranty.
I just want to thank you so much for helping me with my issues with my fans! I just built my first pc two days ago and the rainbow colors were killing me! I am going to refer to a lot of your videos for this RGB mess!
Hi Ayanna Thomas, welcome to my channel. Thank you for following my video content. it will be good if you slowly digest which L-Connect app to use.

Hey Kleo, I recently upgraded to SL120 V2. 10 in total. All of the fans are spinning but the RGB isn't turning on. My Device Manager doesn't detect the 'Universal Serial Bus Devices' and all the cables on the controller are connected. Also the Lian Li Update Tool cannot find the device... I updated my AMD Chipsets like you showed as well. Please help me!
Hi DMAN, welcome to my channel, pardon me for the late reply. have you tried another USB header of your motherboard? I would suggest you to do basic troubleshooting steps as what I did, though this video is lenghty, try to spot the part where you have not done. It might help. ruclips.net/video/CgvuUFeff8U/видео.html
@@DMAN- when you plug the uni controller, does it detect or gives you a unknown device? another way to test your motherboard header is to plug a USB 2.0 plug where the other end enables you to plug any standard USB device like a thumb drive.
Thanks for all the great info! Thanks to you, I've got a Galahad and 10 UNI fans working with my fan curves and LED software. However, there's one thing-- I can't read the fan speed from the chassis fan header that connects to my UNI fan controller. I've tried hwinfo and speedfan, they both show 0 rpm. Based on my searches, it looks like it may be due to the UNI fan controller PWM cable only having 1 wire... you might need 3 for the sensors to read the fan speed, but I'm not sure. Do you have any ideas?
hi aznplucky, welcome to my channel. you are right. the uni controller will reach only with the temperature detected by the board then pass RPM commands from the motherboard fan header (the one you have plug in) to the fans connected to the uni controller. often you are unable to read the RPM is because the 3rd wire (Temperature Sensor) is occupied by the uni controller. in most cases, PC Builders will plug sets of fans directly to the motherboard for better control. be it top, bottom, rear, front or even the AIO radiator fans / CPU heatsink fans.
@@KleoYan Thanks for the reply, and for confirming my suspicion. It looks like I'll have to move the fan cables from the UNI controller to the motherboard. Time for some more cable management... 😅
@@aznplucky you are most welcome. now you dont have to worry about uni fan's fan load, they are rated 0.18a each and each motherboard fan header can take up to 1A and for FAN/PUMP will be at 2A, so you it's safe to daisy chain max up to 4 fans to one motherboard fan header.
Hi Kleo, Wondering if you can help me with my issue. I am currently running Tomahawk B550 from MSI, and just install these fans in my build, 2 SL140 as front fans. I've connected them to my mobo through the aRGB header (JRAINBOW2) and USB port. The connector is connected to SATA (Daisy chained with my two SSDs to PSU). The fans are running, and the RGB is running as well. The first issue is that the RGB is only in the default rainbow mode, and cannot be changed or turned off. I've tried the L-connect software, in which it doesn't seem to recognize the fan (0 RPMS). When I bring up BIOS, it also does not recognize any system fans as well. At first I thought this was just an RGB issue with the MSI Dragon Center, but seems that it may be that the fans arent being recognized. I have tried reinstalling and downloading the fixes to no avail as well. Any suggestions?
Hi C Kay, try this. uninstall all L-Connect application and the fix if there are any. unplug all cables from the uni controller. Now connect only the USB Cable to your uni controller, with the SL140 fans connected to this uni controller. download and install the L-Connect. Check your device manager see if the uni fan controller is detected. once detected, plug in the sata to the uni controller. observe your fans, they should be default rpm and argb on rainbow, launch your L-Connect app. first thing to do is to select your fan settings to quiet or fast and click on apply all. see if the fans react and see if the RPM changes. next test your argb. if this does not work, it might just be the MSI board, I would suggest you to see help with lian li support team. lian-li.com/contact-us/ , once again thank you for your question and to have visit my channel.
My fans were working great then I got back from camping and they spin but I cant control it, and the rgb is dead. The controller shows up in device manager. The chipset download you recommend doesnt appear to be for windows 11. do you have any other ideas? i have a phantom z390b from asrock also they are the AL series not the SL.. Please help
Hi Jakes 420h, welcome to my channel. have you tried disconnecting and to test a fan at a time? or even re-installing the L-Connect application? if you did and failed, are there other argb programs installed to control other stuff? if you do have them I advise you to remove all argb programs in your system. use revo uninstaller ( www.revouninstaller.com/ ) as this program will remove all leftovers and registry files. Then reboot your system. install only the L-Connect app.
Hello I do not know if you still monitor this video as it's over a year old, but here's hoping. My UniFANs used to work, but after a windows reinstall I can not get the PWM on them to work anymore. I updated the firmware on my old hub so L-Connect 2 would work, but my motherboard(ASUS x570 Prime Pro) does not even see the hub connected on the Chassis Fan 2 header that it is plugged into. The rest of the hub operations work fine, but nothing I have tried has gotten PWM to work again.
Hello ehrie, welcome to my channel, the normal characteristic should be, your motherboard does not read the rpm if you are using the L-Connect2, but it sill relect on your L-Connect2 Dashboard. are you saying that the RPM is not shown in your L-Connect Dashboard when you set to PWM mode? maybe also check if your motherboard fan header that was connected to the uni controller, make sure you have set that to PWM Mode in your UEFI and to set the desire fan curve you need.
@@KleoYan I have it set to PWM in my motherboard's bios, but when I set it to PWM in the controller the fans stay at 1340 RPM no matter what I change the fan curve to in the bios. Edit: I should also mention this worked with the L-Connect 1 software. This behavior only started once I downloaded and upgraded the controller to be able to use L-Connect2.

Hi Javasius, welcome to my channel. may I ask a few questions? 1st which uni fans are you using AL or SL? 2nd if you are using SL fans, the uni controller itself, does it have a lable as SL? 3rd what motherboard are you using?
I'm about to do a build with 9 uni fans and a galahad AIO 360. Is it better to have all 9 fans go to one uni contoller for RPM or does it make more sense to plug the 3 fans on the radiator directly to the motherboard for RPM? Which way works best to allow the PC to adjust temps automatically when the CPU runs hot?
Hi Jimmy, thank you for your question, Just my opinion. Connect all 9 fans to the uni controller. Both argb and fan connector. Configuration as follow 3 x fans to output 1 let L-connect to control the fan rpm consistently 3 x fans to output 2 again let L-connect to control the fan rpm consistently As for the 3 x fans on radiator, same as the above but on L-connect, set to rpm to follow your motherboard pwm curve. This way you can manage your cable nicely. You can also choose to connect the 3 radiator fans directly to the motherboard fan header and leave the argb connector on your uni controller. The choice is yours and if you do like my content, kindly subscribe and to click on the notification bell. Thank you very much.
@@KleoYan THank you. If I connect the 3 radiator fans directly to the motherboard fan header will all 9 fans still sync up automatically when the CPU temp rises?
@@jimmydamico6470 hi, the configuration I have mentioned will only kick the radiator fans. If you want all fans to follow the motherboard fan curve. Then connect all fans to the uni controller and set all ouput to pwm on the L-connect app. That will simplify the whole operation. One more thing to note. Make sure your L-connect starts up when you boot to windows. Instructions as follow - Click “Windows” + “R”- - Enter : “shell:startup” - Click “OK" - Copy your “L-Connect shortcut” to “Startup” file - Restart your PC

@@jimmydamico6470 yes you will need to. I am not sure what motherboard are you using as it might be different from mine, so you might need to check your motherboard manual or to fiddle on your Bios/UEFI to set that specific motherboard fan header to PWM make sure you did plug the PWM cable from the uni controller to this specific motherboard fan header.
all of my fans rgb works perfectly fine but the bottom 3 wont spin and i've already checked for updates in l connect. what can i do to get the fans to spin?
Hi Chris, welcome to my channel. which fans are you using? did you try each individual fans before daisy chain? if individual works. try daisy chain again.. test with 2 and then 3. if it does not work, change to another port of the controller, if is still does not work, change the cable. you have to narrow down one step at a time.
@@KleoYan it took a while but i fixed it. i assume the controller was faulty. luckily i ordered 2 120mm triple pack fans so i connected the spare controller and my fans now spin.

Hello Lanzealot, welcome to my channel, just like to check, I assume you are using the SL uni fans, which L-Connect version are you using? kindly note that if your Uni fan controller does not have a SL Marking, you will need to use the L-Connect original version. If your controller have the SL marking, then you can use the L-Connect 2. assuming you are using the correct L-Connect. Are you using the armoury crate before you install the L-Connect app? If you are, i would advise you to remove both Armoury crate and L-Connect using revo uninstaller www.revouninstaller.com/ . This uninstaller is to remove all leftover files and registery. once you have done that, reboot your system, check on device manager, make sure you are able to see your uni fan controller under Universal Serial Bus Devices. if it's listed, install the L-Connect application and try testing your fans PWM and ARGB. once ok, then install your armoury crate program.
Hello Kleo, thank you for the video but I'm having some trouble with my sl120's as well. They all spin and work but the controller doesn't show up in my device manager. I checked all the wires and they all are put in properly, every time I go to the app it says that my controller is not plugged in. Do you have any idea what this can be?
hello Philo Bolok, welcome to my channel. A few things you might need to check. 1) Does your SL Uni controller has an SL marking on it. if it has, make use of L-Connect 2, if there are no SL Marking, then use L-Connect 2) Do you happened to have another argb software that's running before you install the L-Connect app, if you did, try this, uninstall all argb programs including the L-Connect, kindly make use of revo uninstaller (www.revouninstaller.com/) as this will remove all leftover files and registry of the programs you wanted to uninstall, reboot the system once you have done that and check the device manager again. If it appears, install L-Connect only and try again 3) If 1) and 2) does not work, does your motherboard have another USB Header where you can plug to? Try that. 4) If it still does not work, let me know which motherboard brand and model you are using, will check for you if there are any fixes at Lian Li official website.

Hello Mohammed, welcome to my channel. which motherboard are you using. it could be your motherboard argb ultility argb application is blocking the L-connect to recognise your uni controller. I would advise you to uninstall your motherboard argb utilty app using revo uninstaller, reboot your pc, once it's up and running, install the L-Connect application and make sure to run as administrator while installing it.
Hi Kleo, I've selected PWM in the L-Connect for my fans. For some reason when I first boot up my pc, the fan would always go 100% full for a couple seconds, then it becomes normal after. I assume it's just the motherboard bio taking a couple seconds for the fan curve to be recognized. Is there a way to not have it go 100% full on startup?
Hi Buddy N, this is normal. you can try plug all your fan set to the respective motherboard fan header instead of the uni controller.. You see the fans will take commands from L-Connect which is right after windows boot up. By connecting to fans direclty to your motherboard fan header should minimize this problem.
I just finished my pc L-connect is not working. My fans connected on B550 to Fan controller with SL mark register as Lian-li but the application does not register the controller.
Hi Envy 7, welcome to my channel, I like to check before you install the L-Connect app. did your system detect the controller? looks under device management. at Universal Serial Devices. if it did show, now which L-Connect did you download? if your uni controller has the SL Marking, use L-Connect 2 and not L-Connect.
@@KleoYan My system detects the controller as Lian Li in my Universal Serial Devices. I first tried using L-Connect 2 and when that didnt work I tried L-Connect and then finally went to L-Connect 3 which seems to notice that my Uni-Hub is connected despite registering as Lian Li. The firmware update through the usbisp does not find my device even when I try to browse for it.
Thank you so much for the detailed explaination. For me, i didn't had to add the l-connect fix. because now l-connect v2 released with that bug fix. but they didn't fix the pwm mode. i had to change in bios like you and use the temp use input to cpu so that the system fan can follow the cpu like the cpu fan.
Hi Muhammad Mejanul Haque, welcome to my channel and am glad you've sorted things out and provide feedback which will be valuable to viewers. once again thank you to have visited my channel and to write out the feedback. 👍
Okay I have two controllers both with” No SL/AL “ so I have L-connect and I also updated them to be supported in L-connect 2 but didn’t work only controls my AIO lian li liquid cooler rgb. As for 10 fans can be controlled by L-connect then 2 fans immediately turn off as in the RGB. First controller has the four fans connected those fans have Daisy chained to other fans. LastLy the 2 controller is with the AIO pump rgb and power connectors. So the problem is maybe the fans aren’t signaling the last 2 fans idk can u help. Also I have 12 fans in total with 12x.65 = 7.8 A still under the uni output of 10 A
hi, can you look at your L-Connect 2 software. in the software itself, right below LED MODE where you select Static, Runaway etc, there are some boxes which indicate #1 01 02 03 04 are they lited up? you might have a set of daisy chained fans connected but you have not set the fans to lite up. so make sure you select 01 02 03 04 on and it depends on how many fans you have daisy chained. do remember max is up to 4 fans and not more.
Hi Vito Canuso, welcome to my channel. It depends on which controller you are looking for.. you might want to have a look at Lian Li's aliexpress official store www.aliexpress.com/store/911265363/pages/all-items.html?
Not sure if you've been asked about this problem yet but I had everything up and running fine...10 sl fans, and a 24pin strimmer plus using two controllers. I accidentally clicked on the "motherboard software sync" button and now nothing works. The fans don't light up at all, fans are running at a higher speed...everything shows up still in L Connect 2 including both controllers, and all the fans. I checked in the Universal serial bus devices and both controllers are showing there without me doing anything. Just as a precaution I deleted Armory Crate which I was using to control my ram only, but even after a couple reboots the ram is stuck in frozen in the mode it was running. The Gif logo on my Z73 is still working fine, and the rgb on gpu. All 10 fans are just black.
Hi Nucl3ar, welcome back to my channel. Yes I do have friends who have these issues, ended up redo a fresh copy of windows 10 or 11. you see when you trigger motherboard mode on L-Connect. It triggers the IRQ address to switch. so if it happens that the IRQ is of the same as your amour crate. that will conflict and causes problem. For your info, the IRQ that is occupied by either app (L-connect and Motherboard utility like Asus Armoury Crate or MSI Dragon Center or even the Gigabyte fusion) is conflicting. so ended up they choose to use Uni fans argb via L-Connect and the fan rpm directly plug to the motherboard header. that will resolve the issue.
@@KleoYan Hey thank you for the response I actually got it fixed without a windows reinstall. What I was uninstall both Armoury Crate and L connect, reinstalled L Connect, and then toggled the motherboard switch on/off and it all came back. I don't even actually have any argb cables connected to the motherboard. Appreciate your time, and the informative videos!
@@nucl3arboNg nice and you are most welcome. sad to say that does not help on my other two friend's pc. done couple of times and did lots of retry, ended up they gave up. Anyway glad to hear that everything works fine for you.. once again thank you for the valuable feedback.
@@KleoYan I might've spoke too soon once I installed Armoury+Aura next time I opened L Connect it went all wonky again. I wonder if it would work if just Armoury Crate on it's own with aura would work. Or does iCue have the same problems when using along with L connect? The one step I forgot to add when I fixed the first time was I did a system restore. I'm trying that now to see if this helps.
@@nucl3arboNg all I can say is that, for some cases. The motherboard utility app took control of the IRQ which prevent full function of the L-Connect app. This does happened to chrome from Razer. As for icue. I don’t thing it will interfere.
I just found this channel, but Im having an issue where the Fans Show up, but the RGB cannot be changed in L-Connect 3. Ive updated the Graphics drivers, Ive done the INF driver, and Ive made sure the software is up to date. I can change the strimmer but the fans are unresponsive.
Hi Apocalypse, welcome to my channel, if you are using L-Connect 3, you must first have your CPU and GPU readings first before you can control your fans. Maybe follow this video ruclips.net/video/CgvuUFeff8U/видео.html which is more approperiate for your case as this video is only meant for L-Connect and not L-Connect 3. for your reference these are my series on the uni fans and etc ruclips.net/p/PLEW-b-2vYDdPo0NzHyeksx012c-nkDapm

Hello xViizousx, welcome to my channel, I can assume that you mean your fans does not react to the argb effects. have you checked under device manager. if the uni controller is showing under Universal Serial Bus Devices? also are you having other argb programs running before you install the L-Connect? btw which uni fans are you using?
I have the AL version of this fan followed your steps with nothing. Ive tried everything and have been trying to get my controller to be detected for about a week. I even exchanged my fans to make sure it wasnt a hardware issue. Is there anything else I could try? thanks for your help !
Hi Greg Guluzian, welcome to my channel. may I ask, do you have another argb program installed in your system before you install the L-Connect 2? example for Asus you have amoury crate or Gigabyte the Fushion. if that's the case, you can give this a try, uninstall all argb program using revo uninstaller www.revouninstaller.com/revo-uninstaller-free-download/ . This uninstaller will remove all left over files. Next, turn off your PC, remove the power cable to your PSU and leave it unplug for 30 to 45 seconds. next turn it back on and install only the L-Connect 2 app. try out the function to control the argb effects. if that works then install the rest of the argb program.
Hey im using the SL140 I think everything applies to them as well. Anyways I can't get them working properly in PWM mode. They are connected properly the L-connect Software is working but my motherboard MSI B550M mortar WiFi doesn't get a signal from them. I already set the fan header to pwm and adjusted the fan curve but the fans only idle around 800rpm. Also I don't get the rpm Signal or any sign of a fan connection in the Bios. I'm lost here, do you know a solution for this? Would be great thanks.
Hi Marvin Dx, thank you for your question. Now I do have a viewer who had the same issue as yours and he did some altering which might be able to aid you on this.. on this video comment, look for Aaren Portillo's comment which I've pin, he did mention his steps of getting the PWM to work for you. Hope that helps. Once again thank you for your question and to have visited my channel, kindly subscribe if you do like my content and to click on the notification bell. thank you very much!
More questions. I plugged my aio into the cpu fan header and the radiator fans into usb header on mobo. I only want to control thru mobo bios (don’t want to control via icue). Not sure exactly what option to pick in the smart fan section of my bios to control the pump speed and radiator fans. Is the pump speed control called CPU in this fan section? If yes, how do I control it. Do I need to select pwm and manual to set fan curves? I tried selecting full speed but doesn’t seem to do anything.
It depends if your pump is 4pin or 3pin. If your pump is 3pin and your mobo is set to pwm mode. Your pump will go full speed. Unless you change it to dc mode and select fix profile. This should help explain pwm and dc mode in your mobo ruclips.net/video/MCMkrQwFnKM/видео.html
Hi, I have just installed AL fans with a connector like in this video. When I tried to do the firmware update of the controller all my fans started to go very loud and the controller seem like broken, there is nothing anymore in L connect. Can someone help?
@@ayoubrossi3265 Hi welcome to my channel, in the first place if you are using AL Controller and using L-Connect 2, you should not do any firmware. unless you are using L-Connect 3. I will also like to check are you by chance have installed other argb programs like Asus Armoury Crate, Gigabye Fusion or even MSI Dragon Center. Try this, uninstall all argb programs including the L-Connect app using Revo uninstaller www.revouninstaller.com/www.revouninstaller.com/ then reboot your system. First thing is to view at device manager, to see if the lian li controller is showing under Universal Serial Bus Devices. if you do see it as 6K7750, install the L-connect 2 or 3 and try again. if you do see 6K7750, it means that your controller is brick. you will need to contact lian li to have your controller replaced. ruclips.net/video/uMgUYiakpxM/видео.html
Must L-Connect software be installed in order for fans to spin? I'm doing a new build, and when I boot up, the RGB lights up fine, but no fans spin... Have swapped out controller and sata power in an effort to trouble shoot. Next step is to install windows and L-Connect software, but with no fans spinning I'm hesitant to put cpu under any load. Using Galahad and AIO on radiator fans don't spin either. Using the new Uni Infinity Fans
Hi Rysdan, welcome to my channel. It could be lots of different factors like chipset driver not up to date or uni fan controller needs an update. Maybe go through these steps in this video might help ruclips.net/video/CgvuUFeff8U/видео.html
@@KleoYan thankfully I decided to try the Lian-Li support FAQ, and it's a listed question and answer. As soon as I had the OS installed, I installed L-Connect 3 and the fans spun up right away with no issues.
I got a little issue. Whenever I put all fans at full speed with Lconnect, only the 3 daisy chained connect to source one on the Uni controller will reach its top speed 1900rpm. Fans connected to source 2 and 3 reach only 1700rpm. Have you experienced this?
Hi Rafael Almeida, welcome to my channel. I have not encounter your issue but you might want to try swap the fan connectors from source 2 to source 1. To check if the original source 2 fans able to go full speed at source 1 output. If able to, the fans are not faulty and next is to check if original source 1 fans able to go full speed at source 2 output. If able to, means there might be connection issue. If not able to, this might be a controller issue, try reseat the usb cable between the uni controller to your motherboard usb fan header. See if it helps.
Great video! Anyway, how can I set L-Connect to run as the PC starts but only on system tray? I don't want to see everytime the L-Connect window when PC starts.

Hi Kleo, I am having issues with 1 of my Uni Fans, I have a total of 7 on my o11 Dynamic XL. Top 3 and bottom 3 work fine, I have 1 rear fan that lights up but the fan fails to spin. I unplugged it and plugged it in a differnt port on the controller and the same issues occur. I tried to change the cable from the fan itself to the controller and then the fan fails to light up, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn, if I wiggle the cable on the controller for that specific fan group the light goes on and off on the specific fan. So far, the problem follows that specific fan. Any other ideas on what I can do to fix it? Thanks
Hi Dreday2000, thanks for your question. As what you have mentioned to me, you did narrow down some issues, 1st your uni controller is not at fault, 2nd the cable that comes with it is also not at fault as the other fans does react. the only problem is this specific fan. as much as I wanted to investigate for you. I would advise you to contact Lian-Li support and to submit a RMA form. lian-li.com/contact-us/ I am so sorry that I am not able to help you here. once again thank you for your question and to have visit my channel. hate to ask this where I can help you out but if you do like my content, kindly subscribe and to click on the notification bell.

@@DreDay2000 a smart move I would say. but just.a little suggestion. you might want to either voice over what you are face in the video, they will have a clearer picture to aid you out. hopefully lian li support will sort out you problem by replacing the control unit.
awesome video! I had a question. I have 3 sets of uni fans, all set up to 1 - 2 -3 on the control module. Sets 2 and 3 run perfectly, have them set to quiet and everything works as it should. However, the set that is on my 360 RAD is pinned to max for a good 10 - 15 mins after boot, until, suddenly, it goes back to my own settings. Any ideas?
Hi ALittleGamey, welcome to my channel by right all fans will have a short burst at the start as the pc starts at null state till UEFI or Bios is loaded, as in the pwm take place. As in the fan curve will start. As for your case, you might want to try connect your rad fans directly to the fan header of your motherboard. See if they react that way. 10 to 15 minutes is abit too long.
my problem almost the same i have 3 set fan too, all 3 set run pwm mode fine, but shutdown on the next boot only fan set 2 & 3 follow pwm mode, 1set fan look like in default quiet mode around +-800rpm, my 1 set fan always not follow pwm mode until i set it with L c connect it only follow pwm mode
@@nvergiln Try swapping the port they are connected to on the controller. Try removing and reinstalling the connection link on the first fan in the group. Try a different fan link cable. Change the order of the fans in the group so the link connects to a different fan. Get a bag of rattles and bones and pray to the powers that be.

Hi hafiz jumat. Welcome to my channel. I would advise you to remove the USB that says Lian li under device manager, remove all L-Connect app, remove your motherboard utility that controls the argb and fan rpms, reboot your pc. Reinstall then motherboard utility first then reboot, install the L-connect application as admistrator in windows and try again. Reason for this as what I encounter with my friends build. The motherboard utility room admin control. That’s why. So you might want to try the steps I have provided you. If still can’t, kindly raise your concern at Lian li official website. There is a FAQ support for you to raise a support ticket.
Dear sir thank you for your good advice and helpful tips , i am hoping you can give me some trouble shooting regarding the Galahad 360 CPU LEDs are no longer lighting up. The 3 fans and RGB lights are all good , but when i changed my 3 SL Front fans for 3 AL fans my CoU lights stoped coming on, i thought i might have had too many fans plugged into uni controller , so i used the other controller off my SL Fans and plunged my CPU RGB header into the box alone , whilst having the SATA , usb, and the one black wire 4 pin header all connected the my Gigabit Mother board , but no luck , tried the intel chipset upgrade , could i have blown the ARGB's and if so can they be replaced ? Any advice would be a great help many thanks
HI alaster, welcome to my channel. just call me Kleo will do, as for your case. I think you need to know which controller to use. You can only use SL fans to a SL Controller, for AL fans to a AL controller. To have both SL and AL Controller to work, use L-Connect 2 application as it allows to control both SL and AL controller. I would advise you to take baby steps. remove all controllers to your USB header on your motherboard. Start with removing all L-Connect application, install only the L-Connect 2 application. then having lets say your AL Fans conntected to it's controller, test things out. if that works, off your PC, connect the SL Controller to another USB port of your motherboard, then plug the SL Fans to this controller. now when you power up your PC, you should be seeing two taps on the L-Connect application. As for safety meaures, just make sure that for each controller port (1 , 2 , 3 and 4), do not plug more than 4 fans to one port. your galahad argb connector can be plug to either of the controllers, not an issue. give it a try.
@@KleoYan Kleo, many thanks for getting back i did not realise both controllers we're different as they look like the same ! I will unplug them all and as you said take baby steps , i am gutted about losing my CPU cooler Lights , thats why i bought the Galahad in the first place lol

@@nickainthere4640 this is strange. Maybe double checked your UEFI under chipset. See if the USB 2.0 is enabled or disable. If it's till not the setting of your UEFI, it might be the USB cable to your uni controller is faulty. Do you have another PC to test on?
Can you connect a fan group directly to a motherboard header and the rgb to the controller? That way you control different fan groups speed from the motherboard software and rgb from l-connect? I can have 1 fan group with 3 front fans going to a 1 header, another fan group with 3 top fans to another and 1 rear fan to another and have 3 different fan curves on motherboard software? I just dont like the idea of having 1 fan curve for 7 fans
Hello m4nu, welcome to my channel. yes you can. just have the fan argb connected to the uni controller and their respective fan loads on the motherboard fan header, not an issue, plus each SL120 fan is having fan load of 0.18a and a standard motherboard fan header is at 1a and some even 2a. so you should not have a problem connecting up to 4 fans to one motherboard fan header. the only concern is argb load as each fan is at 0.65a which most motherboard argb header can cater for max 3a.
@@KleoYan hey thanks for your prompt response. The argb part i believe wont be a problem. Im actually getting the “AL” fans and will just let the rgb part go through the included controller and will manage lighting through L-Connect and fan speed through motherboard software.

Hi Arroyies, welcome to my channel. There are a few things you might want to check, 1st are your cables plug properly, especially the argb cable that goes from your uni controller to your motherboard, also did you plug to the correct header? on L-Connect, did you switch to motherboard mode before you launch your motherboard application? refer to this video for the connection ruclips.net/video/Rm2emeyMUAk/видео.html
@@Arroyies Hi Arroyies, you might want to check two things, 1st the pwm connector that has only one single wire, is that connected between your uni controller to the motherboard fan header. take note of the motherboard fan header (example Chassis_Fan 3). go to your motherboard bios/UEFI, go to the fan settings and check the fan header which you have plug on the motherboard, make sure it's set to PWM and not auto or DC mode.

Nothing is working! I even did all the stuff you mess with in power setting for the USB ports to work correctly.. help!! :)
HI Ronnie Woodward, welcome to my channel. do you happened to have another USB Header on your mobo? or do you have any argb program installed besides the L-Connect app? maybe try uninstalling all argb program using revo uninstaller. This uninstaller will aid in removing leftover files and registry. Then reboot your system, see if it does detect your device? then install the L-Connect app and give it a try.
@@KleoYan no I dumped the PC clean.. I didn't even install the L connect at all.. I downloaded the amd chipset like you said then plugged the adapter box in. Still not reading the lian li box.. I have 2 boxes cause I bought 9 fans.. I've tried both boxes in both USB headers and still getting the error code
@@Dubbyx2x I see, does the usb header works with outer stuff? You might want to check with your motherboard manufacturer or contact lian li support. they might be able to assist you further.

Yes all the outside usb headers work fine. I contacted the gigabyte motherboard manufacturer and they were not much help. They said the rgb prolly isn't compatible with the motherboard. Then proceeded to tell me that they would send me over a list of compatible fans and what not. But instead send me a email link with the main page of RGB fusion 2.0.. so they were no help at all hahaha
@@Dubbyx2x hi, pardon me for the late reply. what I meant was.. if you have other USB that make use of your motherboard internal USB header, do they work? if they work, it should detect your uni controller. I am running out of ideas how to assist you, maybe you can try posting your issue at the lian li reddit forum www.reddit.com/r/lianli/ or contact lian li support directly lian-li.com/faq
Hi Sergio Casas, welcome to my channel, you might want to watch this video ruclips.net/video/Rm2emeyMUAka/видео.htmls I am not sure if you did connect the PWM cable between the Uni controller and the motherboard..
I tried all this steps, but it doesnt work on my system. Im using L-Connect 2, and have an Asrock B550 PG Velocita, actual chipsetdrivers etc. I have connected my LianLi Controller to Chassis Fan 5, switched to PWM, but cant do any settings with the Phantom Gaming Tuning Software when i switched the L-Connect Software to PWM.
Hi phY1988, welcome to my channel. just to check, does your fan react on argb effects when you set it on L-Connect app? if it does not, try change to the 2nd USB 2.0 socket of your motherboard.
@@KleoYan my ARGB effects react with the L Connect Software, no problem. I can also setup the speeds with L Connect Software, PWM Mode with L Connect software and my asrock software doestn work, settings in UEFI are the same as yours
@@phY1988 wonder if you can try to uninstall the ASRock utility app using revo uninstaller. Revo uninstaller will remove left over registry files. Next is to reboot your pc, reinstall the ASROck utility app again. See if that helps. If not. I seriously have no idea why it didn’t work for you.
hi i got one question, when i on the motherboard sync, why the fan run at max rpm mehh? any idea sir? much appreciated. btw my motherboard b460f and i want to sync with aura but my strimer going crazy colour and unifan looks good but the fan run at max rpm
Hi Naqib Nizam, welcome to my channel. Now I am not familiar with Asus boards but will try to help. on your Asus board, are you able to set as PWM and not on DC mode? and for your strimers did you go through the uni controller or directly plug to the motherboard argb? this video might aid you out. ruclips.net/video/njlkdM9lYbI/видео.html
Hi Kleo. I appreciate your video and helping with these issues. however, I have a different issue with these Lian-li SL-uni-infinity fans with the controller. I have got the software up to date and got everything connected as supposed to as well as software working, and fans however reacts accordingly. my Issue comes as soon as I Launch a game. the game would launch and just when you want to start playing my PC reboots. Now I am not sure why, but I've looked at so may scenarios, but nothing really helps me understand my situation. also, I can clearly say it is from the fans/controller, due to if I have my original Cooler master fans connected this doesn't happen and I can play for as long as possible. also running a bench test with the lain-li fans connected then the pc runs smooth with no issues. I can stress the graphics card and everything no issues. but as soon as I want to play a game, the pc reboots. can you think of something, or have you had an issue similar to this yet?
Hi Robert Backhouse, welcome to my channel. I have not encountered the issue you are having. You might want to try disconnect the controller and run your game. This is to narrow down if it’s the controller issue or a game program issue. If it still react that way without the uni controller. Then you know is not the controller issue.
I can't get the fans to report their RPM to the Uni Fan software at all. It shows 0 rpm no matter what solution or setting I use. Bad controller maybe?
I figured it out. Though I have rev 2 SL fans they did not come with a rev 2 controller box. They came with a rev 1. As in there is no SL marking on it. Therefore I could not use L-Connect 2 to control them. If you are having the same issue make sure you install L-Connect 1.
@@totallynottrademarked5279 Hi, welcome to my channel, glad that you have found the issue and to have resolve it. Now you still can use L-Connect 2.0 if you want to, but you will need to do some firmware update and here is the video ruclips.net/video/hZpzR_4917c/видео.html as in how to.
@@KleoYan Firmware update did not work for me at all. Still reported 0 RPM despite them spinning and they would not respond to software control or mobo control. 1 solved it for me however, so I have no need to really try to get 2 to work again. :)
I dont know if this is common but they are really loud above 800rpm... At maximum speed they are at 55db and at 800rpm its already at 30db which seems alot for me. I cant even hear music with my headphones on at that point
Hi KingALLO, welcome to my channel. Yes they are loud if you have a whole bunch of them. You might want to try plugging the sets of fan load directly to the motherboard fan headers and make use of pwm mode to do customise fan curve. As what I have tested on my board, you can set them to run at 15percent. You will need to do some adjustment according to your board. Do note that by doing this, your system overall temperature will raise.
Hi Mark Edington. Welcome to my channel. If you know how to power up a psu without the motherboard. First when the psu is power off, you can connect the sata cable from the psu to your uni controller. Then plug the fans to the controller ports. Next power up your psu. The fan will spin and the fan argb will be by default rainbow effect.
This is what you be needing a.co/d/7PLBlag Connect this to your psu 24pin cable of your psu. Not on the psu but on the 24pin cable itself. Then power it up but turning on your psu switch.
I can not download the l connect driver on any app. what should I do? Every time I boot up my pc, RPM stay 0 all the time until i unplug the USB header. What should i do?
best is to check your PC any anti virus software blocking Lian Li downloads or such. If you are unable to determine what's causing you not able to download, maybe you can use another pc or laptop to try download the L-Connect application. thank you for your question and to have visit my channel.

How can you control the fans with pwm if the controller is connected to the motherboard via usb as instructed on the manual? The controller is not connected to a fan header.
Hi Jack Wu, welcome to my channel. The PWM Fan connector that is between the uni controller and to the fan header is taking readings/instructions from the single wire from the PWM connector. it will then pass through the uni controller, which has the control over the set of fans.
Hi Kleo !! question, my sl120 fans suddenly just stopped connecting to the L-Connect app reverting my rgb to the default rainbow colors, when I try to open the app again it says "controller is not connected" ive tried everything to unplug and replug the fans but its still not working :/ any chance you might know anything?
Hello Billy Hopkins, I like to check did you update the L-Connect application to the L-Connect 3? if not try these. 1) Turn off your PC totally 2) unplug the cable that is connecting between your motherboard USB 2.0 header and your uni controller 3) Switch off your PSU and unplug the AC cable 4) Leave it to 45 seconds reason to do this is to reset and to clear previous settings (exclude your UEFI settings) 5) Plug back the cable that is connecting between your motherboard USB 2.0 header to your uni controller 6) Plug back AC cable to your PSU, turn your PSU on and power up your system. try the above method and it still does not work. do you have another PC to test on the uni controller, this will narrow down if your controller is faulty or malfunctioning. if all the above failed, I would advise you to approach Lian Li official website and to redeem your warranty (1 to 1 replacement)

Hello I have an issue with my AL120 fans. The rgb is changeable but the fans are stuck at max rpm and when I change the speed it doesn't change? Can someone please help!
Hi natunes, welcome to my channel, I like to check did you go to your UFEI / Bios settings to set the fan as PWM mode? also have you set a profile for that specific fan header?
i tried everything in this video and quadruple checked that everything was plugged in correctly and yet the fans still arent being detected in device manager and no rgb.. at least the fans themselves work, but id really like for the rgb to work and for the rpm to be changeable.. any more ideas on what could be wrong??
@@pinecsne based on your specs. do you happened to have the MSI Dragon center installed? if you did, uninstalled it along with your L-Connect app. kindly use revo uninstaller to remove all unwanted files and registry www.revouninstaller.com/ ( watch this timestamp for illustrationruclips.net/video/uMgUYiakpxM/видео.html ) then follow the steps below 1) once uninstall everything, shut down your pc, unplug the power cable to your pc and leave it for 45 seconds, this will flush out all memory of devices attached to your mobo 2) Connect the USB cable between your uni controller to your motherboard. Also connect the sata cable between your uni controller to your PSU source. you need not have to plug the third cable which is the PWM and argb cable ( ruclips.net/video/Rm2emeyMUAk/видео.html ) 3) Boot up your system, look in device manager and look under Universal Serial Bus Devices, do you see the lian li controller. 4) Now does your uni controller have a SL marking or without a SL Marking, if it's without SL marking, you can only download the L-Connect app and not L-Connect 2 or 3 ( ruclips.net/video/hZpzR_4917c/видео.html ) 5) once installed the L-Connect app. try to fiddle to see if you can have the argb lighting to work. Last but not least why do you need a 5v to 12v adaptor.. this will not work as each led does not communicate. ARGB = Addressable RGB (5v) , RGB = non addressable RGB (12v)
@@KleoYan thank you for all the information but i have never installed msi dragon center so i dont think i have it. also this is my first build but the fans came with a plug for a 3pin rgb header but my motherboard was 4 pin so i thought an adaptor would work?
@@pinecsne I see, you can ignore the argb cable to be plug between the uni controller to the motherboard, just follow my steps above 1) to 5) and you will be able to play with the argb effects.
Thanks for the informative video, it seems that when i go to device manager an unknown usb device shows and i know that is the controller i might just not of understood but i am unsure what to do next i have installed all drivers i believe and this is my first build, thanks.
Hi Kyle Stark, welcome to my channel. just to ask, are you using another other argb program besides this L-Connect. Most of the time i've encounter is due to the fact that you have installed the motherboard argb app which prevents you to use the L-Connect app to function. You might want to try uninstall the motherboard argb app using revo uninstaller where it cleans up all the left over files (www.revouninstaller.com/revo-uninstaller-free-download/), next shut down your PC, unplug the PSU AC cable, let it sit for 30 to 40 seconds, turn your PC back on, install only the L-Connect app, have a look at device manager. if it shows you the lian li device, try using L-Connect app to see if your fans respond to the argb and rpm settings. if it does, reboot your PC and try again. If all work out well, then install the motherboard argb program if you need it.
@@KleoYan Hi thanks for the quick response i did previously have another argb program but i uninstalled it and most other programs like that when i reset my windows as i seen on some reddit forums that said that may fix the problem but that did not do anything except remove most of my programs.
Hi mr2cqql, welcome to my channel. Bios will not detect the rpm if you are connecting the rpm cable between the controller to the motherboard fan header. You will only be able to see the rpm on your L-Connect application. As for why your fans are not spinning, is either your fan daisy chain is lose somewhere or have you set your bios to pwm mode instead of dc mode.
@@KleoYan The controller design even if the mb header goes bad the fans still spin to prevent overheating, that means even with the pwn header unplug the fans should spins at max rpm. I had my bios fans all to pwm mode. In the meantime the uni controller only act as the RGB only, I had the each of the uni fans plug directly to the mb fans headers and able to control the speeds of the fans. I really think my controller is bad from the beginning.
@@mr2cqql Hi, I see, infact leaving your fan load on MB is still the best way to control the fans. leave the aRGB for the uni controller to control the effect. now having to say this, you wouldn't want to have a faulty uni controller, I will advise you to do a test on each fan and on each output individually, just to confirm if your uni controller is faulty. If it is, best to have it change while it's still under warranty.
Hello ziggy2070, welcome to my channel. Lets say there are 3 sets of fans where you have plug to the uni controller, output 1 and output 2 (both working) and your last set output 3 (your fans not working) Can you try swapping output 2 with output 3? see if those problematic fans are working? if it's not working, that means your fan had some connection issues. If the fans works on output 2, that means your output 3 is having an issue.
@@KleoYan All 3 are connected to port 3, I did have it on one. the fan can always be controlled but sometimes not the rgb i swapped the fans around and the last one had the issue again. I found that its best not to install the fans together first and then attach is a bad method. but to scew each fan in seperate and then attach the next one/screw in and so on(I think screwing in can have a twisting effect). lastly the last one in the chain now has main rgb and fan control but now the four surrounding lights do not work. I sent an email to Lian Li asking for a diag process and they simply wrote back saying they would get the factory to send me a new one.
@@Daedalus_UK I see, ok.. now I like to check with you.. you are using the SL or AL fans? for the SL fans, if your controller does not have the SL marking, you can only use the L-Connect app. If you intend to use it on L-Connect 2 or L-Connect 3. you will have to do a firmware which this video might help you out. ruclips.net/video/hZpzR_4917c/видео.html If you are only using the AL Fans, you can use L-connect 2 or L-connect 3.

@@Daedalus_UK ok, one last thing before am clueless, do you happened to install other argb program before you install the L-Connect 2? example Asus Armoury Crate, MSI Dragon Center, Gigabyte Fusion or even ASrock Polygram? if you did, try this.. uninstall the motherboard argb program and the L-Connect 2.. now please note Armour Crate has it's own removal tool (Check on their website) as for the rest, make use of Revo uninstaller ruclips.net/video/uMgUYiakpxM/видео.html , then once done, shut down your PC first. remove the AC power cable to your PSU, let it sit for 45 seconds or so, plug back and turn your PC back on. then install only the L-Connect 2 app. see if that works. if it does not.. I can only say that your controller is faulty, that you will need to wait for lian li to send you a replacement as you've mentioned.
help !!! my problem is that when I connect the pwn cable to the ch fan 1, 2 or 3 of the motherboard (I tested in the 3) the fans if they rotate but they cannot be controlled neither with the motherboard software nor with the lian li , and when entering the bios it does not recognize the connected fan. It comes out as if nothing was connected. If I connect the fans cable directly to the fan ch without connecting to the unihub, it recognizes them and I can change the rpm from the mobo software. but I'm afraid because the fan ch only has 1 A and the sum of the 3 unifans gives more than that, I provided everything from your videos. (the rgb if it works normal). Even if the fan is not recognized, change all the fan ch to pwn (sorry for the English, use translator) mobo asus x570 prime pro
Hi Juan Pablo Robles Hoyos, welcome to my channel. as for why your fan can't be control in uni controller. go to your motherboard UEFI, set fan to PWM mode. then on uni controller, set to PWM. that should work. Now this is additional info, there are two load in these Unifan, 1) aRGB Load 0.65a for each fan, this is for light effects. You don't have to worry so long your fan argb connectors are connected to the uni controller. 2) Fan Load 0.18a for each fan. If you plug 3 x uni fan to ch fan which is 1A, it's ok as 3 x 0.18a = 054a , your ch fan is 1a.
hi bro, my unifan fans are working but the rgb fans are not. what did i miss? im pretty sure its plugged correctly. i can see my device and i can change the fan speeds but no rgb
HI Ragarok Dada, welcome to my channel. have you tried just to connect one single fan to the uni controller and leaving the usb cable between the uni controller to the motherboard connected? try do basic troubleshooting. it might be a glitch somewhere. as you've mentioned you uni controller is about to change the fan's speed.
Ive been having to manually change the rpm for a little while im using lian li connect 3 I can change color and everything but the fan curves that I set arent doing anything any fixes?
Hello THRAXX, this video is in the past which is the original L-Connect, you might want to view this ruclips.net/video/CgvuUFeff8U/видео.html which might aid you. or to try the troubleshooting steps below Disclaimer : Though the chances are very low to brick firmware updates on motherboard and to any controllers. I will not be responsible if you have brick your motherboard or controller. 1) Make sure your motherboard bios is up to date, please check on your motherboard manufacture website, under support > bios and drivers. See if there are issues with USB and do they have a fix. If there are, kindly update those bios firmware version. 2) Make sure your chipset driver for your motherboard is up to date! For AMD will be at www.amd.com/en/support for Intel will be Intel Driver & Support Assistant Intel DSA www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html 3) Remove all argb apps (Asus Armory Crate / MSI Dragon Center / Giga Fusion / Asrock Polychrome). If the brands which I have mentioned, do have a uninstall tool like the Asus Armory Crate, use that, else use Revo uninstaller ( www.revouninstaller.com/ ). Revo uninstaller will remove all unwanted files / folder / registry in your system. Illustration to use revo uninstaller ruclips.net/video/uMgUYiakpxM/видео.html 4) Shutdown your PC, unplug the PSU cable from your AC outlet. Press the power switch twice to discharge all current that your motherboard is holding. Leave it for 45 second 5) While waiting, please do not use KVM switches. Disconnect all devices that are connected to your motherboard (front / back IO). Leave only your Keyboard, Mouse , Monitor and Ethernet (If you have) connected directly to your motherboard. If your monitor has a KVM build-in, remove the USB cable from your monitor to your motherboard USB socket. If your mouse and keyboard are connected to your monitor, please remove them and plug them directly to your motherboard instead. 6) Plug only one Uni controller or Strimer Plus V2 controller. If its for Uni Fan (SL/AL) use only 3 fans to an output of the uni controller. 7) Plug the power cable and turn on your PC 8) Go to your Device Manager, look under Universal Serial Bus Devices, make sure you see the Lian Li uni / strimer plus V2 controller. 9) Install the L-Connect 3 app only lian-li.com/l-connect3/ (current version 1.3.16) 10) After installation, run L-Connect 3, check under Setting > General > make sure Auto-Run on Boot and Minimized L-Connect 3 to system tray at close are ON. 11) Reboot your system. 12) First thing you need, go to device manager and see if the Lian Li controller is listed, next open up the L-Connect 3 app. Check if there is a need to update firmware to your controller. Go to Settings > Update, under Device F/W version, click on Update Check, download and install the firmware. Make sure the firmware is completed. Do a check on device manager and make sure the Lian Li controller is listed. 13) On L-Connect 3 dashboard, check if the CPU and GPU readings are reacting, you might want to test it using some benchmark programs. If there are reaction, play with the PWM and argb functions. If it does not work, skip step 14) and proceed step 16) 14) If Single controller works, shutdown your pc, connect uni fan set of 3 to your output of your uni controller. Do it small steps at a time to hook up your sets of fans. do not do all in one go. If successful and you have a second controller, proceed small step at a time again. 15) Slowly plug back your USB devices (Headset, Microphone, Printer, USB Capture Card and etc). At any point of time as you add those devices one at a time, if L-Connect 3 become unresponsive. This tells you that there power is insufficient to power up more USB Devices. Whatever USB port on your motherboard, there is a limitation as the current are shared across the board, be it front or back I/O and the internal USB Header. You might need to get a Internal USB Hub that comes with a Sata Power source to the Internal USB Hub. (Disclaimer, buying a internal usb hub might or might not resolve this issue, purchase at your own expenses) 16) If it does not work, report your issues to Lian li Tech Support. There is a in build log ticketing system in L-Connect 3 app. this is what you need to do. Go to Settings > Support > Click on “Download log” place a filename and choose a destination drive to save the log file. Next click on “Report” it will take you to Lian Li Tech Support FAQ. Fill up the form and upload the log which is a zip file.

Hi Ivan, welcome to my channel. which motherboard are you using? you might want to check your motherboard bios to see if there are any issues with USB connection.
@@KleoYan MSI Mag B550M Mortar Max WIFI. This is a new board which I bought just a week ago. No issue with L Connect 3 for 10 days. It then suddenly disappeared and no longer appear in Device Manager. I have another USB device connected to another header which coincidentally stopped working 3 days before the strimer disappeared. The strimer is now stuck at rainbow simply because it has been receiving power from the sata connection. Updated the chipset drivers and it did not help. I did the unprecedented thing by switching from the usb header to the usb port at the back and it worked. I've connected everything correctly and tried unplugging and plugging it. Bios is already updated. It can't be both usb headers and usb cables been faulty at the same time isn't it? The source of the problem is the usb connection, not the hub itself. Worst case scenario, I'll cut a hole in my case and let the L Connect hub run through the usb port but I still hope to resolve this situation.
@@ivanyu3930 hi, seems like you have done all the basics and in even gone to the extend to use a 9pin to a usb on your controller and works with rear I/O USB socket.

Hi Eric Nguyen, welcome to my channel. I would advise you to remove all your fans from the controller. first thing you need to check is, are your SL fans still in working condition. plug the fan load to the motherboard, this you can leave it daisy chained (max 4 fans) as each fan load is 0.18a. if they work, next is to check to see the argb are working, if you have the argb cable kit for lian li, you should be able to test it but please test one fan at a time as the load is 0.65a, again you can plug to your motherboard to test. if all fans work on both fan load and argb. then you can narrow down that your controller is not working. for extreme case, fill up a RMA form from lian li website and to have your unit replace.

If you can see the controller, download the actual firmware and redo the firmware again, if not, kindly contact Lian Li support to have it replace. lian-li.com/contact-us/
hi DP, welcome to my channel, do you happened to have other argb programs installed before you plug your uni controller? if you did, you might want to uninstall all argb programs and the L-connect app using revo uninstaller www.revouninstaller.com/ , then reboot your system, See does it device your device and to install the L-Connect app first.
Well I finally gave it one last try before taking these back to the store and I am glad I did, I removed the controller and the USB cable from my system and used only the USB and connected it to another computer and low and behold it detected in device manager!!! so I took it back to my system and it detected it !!! nothing else connected but the USB cable then I proceeded to hook the rest of the cables up and now everything works flawless, seems really weird that the order of connection to the motherboard is the answer. Connect USB first with nothing else connected then check to see if it shows up in device manager. 🙂
@@dp9550 hi, mind if I ask if you have another uni controller? if you have, can you try using another and do you mind to let me know which motherboard are you using? I will try to aid you out, if not, you might want to contact lian li tech support on your issue.
Hi Jayvee Eroy, welcome to my channel. Now the uni controller work this way, if you have plug the PWM cable between the uni controller and motherboard, your bios will not detect any rpms and same apply when you check on HWinfo64. you will be able to see the RPM on the uni controller itself. now it greatly depends on how you do your connection. may I ask how did you do your connection. I would first not plug any PWM or argb cable between the uni controller to the motherboard fan header and argb header. with only fans connected to the uni controller, the sata cable plug to the unicontroller and the USB cable plug between the uni controller and motherboard, are you able to control the argb and the rpms via L-Connect? if you are not able to. may I ask are there any argb utlity if you have installed before the L-Connect you are using. btw which version of L-Connect are you using and which fans are you using.. the SL or AL?
@@KleoYan Hello there, I tried what you said and I unplug the cables. Leaving the USB and SATA connections only, Still wasnt able to control the rpm of the fan(BTW IM USING L-CONNECT2), but then I noticed I tried L-CONNECT it can control the RPM for some weird reasons which I dont know What. In the Lconnect it shows accurate RPM(1,788+) but on the Lconnect2 it shows random numbers(26392016)
@@jayveeeroy8227 I believe you are using SL120, now there are two version of the SL120 controller, one that has the SL Marking on the controller and one that does not.

Hi Elvis Best, welcome back. Are the argb applicable to your fans using the L-Connect application. if it works and your fan PWM does not.. you might want to check the connectors for fan load or to re-seat the daisy chain interconnectors between the AL or SL fans.
@@KleoYan yes i unplug it n plug it back in i never had an issuse once before i got a new X570 board from the old 470 and i wonder if the MB software is interferring with it the lights work well and i have notice with the old app even when i reset it the fans speed up so i download the new update app and unplug it plug it back and the fans run quiet n doesn't speeds up
@@elvisbest3213 hi, I like to check are you using SL or AL fans? for SL fans if your controller does not have the SL marking, you can't use the L-Connect 2 app, unless you do a firmware on the uni controller. if it's with the SL Marking, then you should be able to use the L-Connect 2 app. Now you did mentioned you've other argb program that is use to control other argb devices. I would advise you to remove all argb program which includes the L-Connect app, use revo uninstaller www.revouninstaller.com/revo-uninstaller-free-download/ to clear off all the left over files. Next power down your PC, unplug the PSU cable, press the power button for a few times to discharge all electrical charge in your motherboard, once done, power it up again, install the L-Connect application and to test it with your SL or AL fans. if that works, then install the other argb program which is use to control your other argb device.
My fans work, exept the light effect are going slow en not very smooth, even though I have the speed set to 100%. Is there a fix for this aswell? edit: never mind it is fixed!
Hi Austen Sales, welcome to my channel. If you have plug all fan load to the uni controller. You should be able to see the rpm figures in the L-Connect app. This will not be shown in motherboard uefi/bios not on hwinfo. If you want the rpm to show in your bios/uefi or even in hwinfo, you will need to plug all fan load set to the motherboard respective fan header.
@@KleoYan I have all of my fans connected to the controller, and I’m not seeing rom signal in the l connect software, currently the only way I can control the fan speed is if I plug them directly to the MOBo
@@Austensales1 you might want to go into your UEFI to set that particular fan header to PWM. Make sure to do your fan curve. Then on L-Connect set to pwm mode.
@@Asusmaker Hi, I would advise you on the following Lets start off with this first Motherboard & OS =============== 1) Is your mobo bios up-to-date and is the chipset drivers up-to-date? 2) In Windows 10/11, in device manager, do you see the uni control under Universal Serial Bus Devices? if you do not see that under device manager, shut down your PC and remove the PSU power cable from your outlet, let is sit for 45 seconds (this is to clear the cache memory on your motherboard) while waiting for the 45 seconds, double check your USB cable that is connected between your motherboard and to the uni controller. once done, plug back your PSU, power up your PC, now see and to make sure you do see the uni controller in device manager under Universal Serial Bus Devices. If it does, launch L-Connect 3. you will first need to ensure that there are reading on the CPU and GPU in the dashboard, run some benchmark test and make sure the temperature reacts. If it does but you still can't control your fans, be it argb or fan rpms. do this 1) Remove all argb apps (Asus Armory Crate / MSI Dragon Center / Giga Fusion / Asrock Polychrome). If the brands which I have mentioned, do have a uninstall tool like the Asus Armory Crate, use that, else use Revo uninstaller ( www.revouninstaller.com/ ). Revo uninstaller will remove all unwanted files / folder / registry in your system. Illustration to use revo uninstaller ruclips.net/video/uMgUYiakpxM/видео.html 2) Do a manual firmware and follow this guide lian-li.com/l-connect3/L3_update_manually/ 3) once firmare is done, reinstall L-Connect 3 lian-li.com/L3-changelog/ and try it again. I would also advise you to view this video for in-depth understanding of how L-Connect 3 works. ruclips.net/video/CgvuUFeff8U/видео.html
So i need to download the chipset for intel for l connect to control my rgb and rpm? freshly installed and updated everything but nothing can be controlled
Hi Skylar, welcome to my channel, I think you are using the L-connect 3, if that's the case, you might need to do a firmware update. kindly check with version of L-Connect application you are using. if it's L-Connect 3. kinldy refer to this video. ruclips.net/video/CgvuUFeff8U/видео.html
@@KleoYan icue is the only other software I have that’s super heavy rgb oriented due to my cpu aio being a h150i elite capellix, motherboard is a msi z490 a-pro, fans are the Sl120 uni (5 pack from Amazon)
@@Realrayt I see, ok, this is going to be painful, do you mind to try uninstall all argb applications in your system. which are the icue and l-connect 3. try these steps to see if your L-Connect 3 is able to run. I have a feeling that the IRQ is lock by your Icue which is preventing the L-Connect 3 app to work. please do this if you feel is comfortable as I am just trying to help you out. no guarantee that it will work. if you do get your L-Connect 3 to work. then install your iCue. 1) Make sure your motherboard bios is up to date, please check on your motherboard manufacture website, under support > bios and drivers. See if there are issues with USB and do they have a fix. If there are, kindly update those bios firmware version. 2) Make sure your chipset driver for your motherboard is up to date! For AMD will be at www.amd.com/en/support for Intel will be Intel Driver & Support Assistant Intel DSA www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html 3) Remove all argb apps (Asus Armory Crate / MSI Dragon Center / Giga Fusion / Asrock Polychrome).

Revo uninstaller will remove all unwanted files / folder / registry in your system. Illustration to use revo uninstaller ruclips.net/video/uMgUYiakpxM/видео.html 4) Shutdown your PC, unplug the PSU cable from your AC outlet. Press the power switch twice to discharge all current that your motherboard is holding. Leave it for 45 second 5) While waiting, please do not use KVM switches. Disconnect all devices that are connected to your motherboard (front / back IO). Leave only your Keyboard, Mouse , Monitor and Ethernet (If you have) connected directly to your motherboard. If your monitor has a KVM build-in, remove the USB cable from your monitor to your motherboard USB socket. If your mouse and keyboard are connected to your monitor, please remove them and plug them directly to your motherboard instead. 6) Plug only one Uni controller or Strimer Plus V2 controller. If its for Uni Fan (SL/AL) use only 3 fans to an output of the uni controller. 7) Plug the power cable and turn on your PC 8) Go to your Device Manager, look under Universal Serial Bus Devices, make sure you see the Lian Li uni / strimer plus V2 controller. 9) Install the L-Connect 3 app only lian-li.com/l-connect3/ (current version 1.3.16) 10) After installation, run L-Connect 3, check under Setting > General > make sure Auto-Run on Boot and Minimized L-Connect 3 to system tray at close are ON. 11) Reboot your system. 12) First thing you need, go to device manager and see if the Lian Li controller is listed, next open up the L-Connect 3 app. Check if there is a need to update firmware to your controller. Go to Settings > Update, under Device F/W version, click on Update Check, download and install the firmware. Make sure the firmware is completed. Do a check on device manager and make sure the Lian Li controller is listed. 13) On L-Connect 3 dashboard, check if the CPU and GPU readings are reacting, you might want to test it using some benchmark programs. If there are reaction, play with the PWM and argb functions. If it does not work, skip step 14) and proceed step 16) 14) If Single controller works, shutdown your pc, connect uni fan set of 3 to your output of your uni controller. Do it small steps at a time to hook up your sets of fans. do not do all in one go. If successful and you have a second controller, proceed small step at a time again. 15) Slowly plug back your USB devices (Headset, Microphone, Printer, USB Capture Card and etc). At any point of time as you add those devices one at a time, if L-Connect 3 become unresponsive. This tells you that there power is insufficient to power up more USB Devices. Whatever USB port on your motherboard, there is a limitation as the current are shared across the board, be it front or back I/O and the internal USB Header. You might need to get a Internal USB Hub that comes with a Sata Power source to the Internal USB Hub. (Disclaimer, buying a internal usb hub might or might not resolve this issue, purchase at your own expenses) 16) If it does not work, report your issues to Lian li Tech Support. There is a in build log ticketing system in L-Connect 3 app. this is what you need to do. Go to Settings > Support > Click on “Download log” place a filename and choose a destination drive to save the log file. Next click on “Report” it will take you to Lian Li Tech Support FAQ. Fill up the form and upload the log which is a zip file.
i have 6 of these fans and they work (fans run but only gives rainbow color) but none of them respond when i try to use the L connect software to change color. I set them to PWM mode in Bios but still no luck for adjusting the fan curve
Hmm which motherboard are you using? If it’s MSI. One of my viewer drop the dragon application and just run L connect. It works for him but there is another having this issue and yet unable to resolve.
@@KleoYan thanks for reply! I have a x570 Tomahawk wifi (MSI). I tried unstalling Dragon Center, but it still doesnt work. The RGB connector from my Lian Li controller is currently connected to Rainbow1 on my Motherboard. Should i try to unconnect the RGB connector from Rainbow 1 and only run the controller from the Lian Li controller? Lian li fan controller is currently connected to CPU FAN 4 on the Motherboard. I really appreciate your help!
@@GamboTheGent yup disconnect it to see if you can take control over the argb effects. If it does. I have another suggestion, leave the argb controll by your uni controller. And plug ur daisy chain SL fans to the motherboard header to controll the fans RPM. Do not worry 4 x fans. The fan load is 0.72a which most motherboard fan header support up to 1A. The only worry is about argb load. Cos 4 x SL fans, the argb load is at 2.6a which some old mobo support up to 2a. So just remember. Unplug that argb and pwm cable from your uni fan to the motherboard. Leave argb of your SL fans on uni fan controller. Plug only the SL daisy chained fan connector to the motherboard fan header directly. Hope am not confusing you.

Just wanted to provide an update on a test i did with the uni controller in the cpu_fan header. The uni controller's pwm cable didn't work for me in the cpu header as my mobo said there was no fan connected (the uni pwm fan cable has only 1 cable coming from it). As such I used a 1 to 2 fan Y-splitter (1 to 2 being 2 fan connections to1 header) where i plugged my sl120 uni fans that are on my radiator into the y-splitters master fan header (the master fan header is 4 pins) and then i plugged the uni fan controllers pwm cable into the slave fan header on the Y-splitter. This means the motherboard detected a cpu fan which instructed the cpu fans to spin up more when it heated up thus allowing it to adjust it's PWMs. What this means is when the master fan adjusts it speed it then tells the uni fan controllers fans (if theyre in pwm) to adjust fan speed based on what the master fan connection is doing.
I've seen a lot of people asking online if the above is possible and after testing i can confirm it is. The only thing i made sure of was that in my bios the cpu-fan was set to pwm and not auto or dc.
Also adding the l-connect program can be set to auto run on windows boot by typing run and when the run program pops up typing shell:startup. Then you copy the lian li programs short cut to the shell:startups location and then windows will automatically boot it every time (again tested it by rebooting numerous times and it started every time without fail).
Thanks.
Hi Aaron Portillo. Good finding, glad you find a way to resolve your issue. I have never face your issues and yes the cable that comes with the uni fan controller, has only one cable on the fan connector which is to change the rpm speed only. When set to pwm on the L-Connect app without triggering motherboard mode, the motherboard is doing the actual work as in temperature readings, then the unifan controller just pick up the rpm that was determined by the motherboard. This is where the uni fans reacts and changes speed. With this said, thank you for your detail write out. This will be useful to those who are facing a similar situation like yours. I have learn something new from you too. Thank you. Post pined 👍
@@KleoYan No worries. Not so much of an issue for me but more of a way that incorperates all the fans into one header. A lot of people seem to want the radiator fans and case fans (all uni fans) to adjust its speed based on what the cpu's temperature is doing (which is fair and its something that i wanted as well). By having the radiator fans as the pwm controller it fixed everything. I've also noted on the lian li 011 dynamic (thats the case ive now got) people report high temperatures - the temperatures go to about 60c for cpu and 68 for gpu but for me that is perfectly fine and acceptable.. theyre the same temperatures my massive pc case (corsair 780T) was doing so i consider it a win to half the size and keep the same temps or a bit better at times.
The scary part is testing things but hopefully people wont have to now with the above answers. Thanks for your vote of confidence and kind words i appreciate it dude. Will watch more of your videos in the future. :)

Hello Sleepy Human, welcome to my channel. That’s good and am glad you get it working. 👍
I recently updated all my case fans to UniFans (3 groups in total) and got a really bitter taste after finding the L-Connect doesn't even register one of my grouped fans' rpms (just the rgb). Your videos are a Godsend, best ones on RUclips for these fans! Instant like and sub for me. Will try the fixes after work and hope to resolve this stupid issue on the otherwise best fans on the market.
Hi Nikola Mladenoff, welcome to my channel and thank you for the compliment. it actually depends on which motherboard you are using, sometimes it's the motherboard utility app that tooks over control over L-Connect app. in that case if you have updated the chipset and it does not work, I would advise you to remove your motherboard utility app and the L-Connect app using Revo uninstaller www.revouninstaller.com/ . once done, reboot your PC, install L-Connect as administrator mode. test out your fans. if it works then install your motherboard utility app.
@@KleoYan Hi, Kleo, thanks for the reply. I updated the bios and the chipset and then removed the mb utility app and l-connect with Revo, however L-Connect still cannot recognise group 1 of my fans. I set the fan header on the MB to PWM, but neither the MB nor the app receive rpm information about group 1. I thought about replacing the cable with one of the leftover ones, but since the RGB works and the fan is spinning, I rule out having a faulty or badly connected cable to the fans. I guess it might be just an uncompatible motherboard sadly :( I'm using MSI B450 Carbon Max Wi-Fi.
@@nikolamladenoff3516 Hi, thank you for your reply. Just a note, does your SL fan react when you connect only the USB and Sata cable to the uni controller? it should shows you the RPM on L-Connect. maybe you can give that a try first. I am not too sure if you have watch this video ruclips.net/video/Rm2emeyMUAk/видео.html it might aid you.
@@KleoYan Yes, the fans are spinning at the lowest speed(probably default) and the lighting goes to default mode also, but it works. The problem initially occurred when I installed L-Connect for the first time - Group 2 and 3 stayed as they were, Group 1 went to full blast and L-Connect does not register any rpms, but only for Group 1. The other 2 fan groups have rpm and react to changes in the mode. I watched all your videos, of course :D I believe I connect everything properly. Does it matter whether I have connected the usb connector to a usb 2.0 or 3.2 header on the MB ? Maybe you have mentioned that but I don't really remember.
@@nikolamladenoff3516 Try switching the non working fan group to another port on the controller. If they still don't work you may have a bad cable or a poor mate of the cable with the fan it's connected to. Try plugging it into a port you know works.

With my 9 RGB unifans connected by your instruction multiple different times, new wires i'm not sure if this is what the end of them look like but as far as troubleshooting they work and are sensed fine, i just have no control over any of the color. The three fans ( daisy chained ) all show about 20 percent of the entire fan itself ( one corner or side ) I am not blaming you or anything but i love the videos, and want to know what you think or how you would trouble shoot. New vid idea!
You are awesome, thank you for this! Fixed my issue. However, I'm trying to use two of these controllers. The device manager detects both of them but once I bypass the manual controller (holding M1 down for 3 seconds) I lose lights. I notice in the software there are only spots for 4 ports. Do you know if there is a way to add the addtional 4 port from the other controller or am I screwed? To be clear, I'm trying to run two sets of strimer cables. First set works, second set not working. If this can't work, what about modifying the cable to hook straight up to an ARBG hub?
hi Kilgoran, at the moment, when you mentioned that you are using two controllers. Are you referring to use two strimer plus controller to a unifan controller?
if you are using 2 strimers controllers without the uni controller. yes you can get a spliter which connects the 2 strimers controller to your motherboard.
if you are using 2 strimer plus controller with a uni controller. you can just plug each strimer plus controller to indvidual output of the uni controller.
this video will show you one ruclips.net/video/Y0ni_tfcX3g/видео.html you can repeat to plug another into another output.
Hi Kleo! Thank you for your time making this video. Unfortunately, I still have trouble with my lian li fans where the device manager won't recognize it. I have an ASUS motherboard and was wondering what I can possibly do to fix this? Is this a controller issue or something else? Thank you!
Hi Mingyu, welcome to my channel. Mind if I ask, which uni fans are you using? SL or AL and which L-Connect application you have installed? will need to know more info on what you are using before I can try to aid you out. also which Asus motherboard are you using? In generall these are some troubleshooting steps you might want to look into.
1) If you do have the Asus Armoury Crate installed before the L-Connect app, kindly uninstall both apps. for Asus Armoury Crate, kindly make use of their uninstaller, check your motherboard utlity page. As for L-Connect, uninstall it using revo uninstaller. This will remove all leftover files and registry in your system
2) Turn off your system, unplug the USB cable between then uni controller to your motherboard USB header. leave it for 30 to 45 seconds. replug the USB cable again, turn on your machine. once loaded into windows, go to device manager, look under Universal Serial Bus Devices. Do you see your uni controller in it?
3) Next if you are using SL fans and the controller does not have the SL marking on it. download L-Connect and install it. test it.
4) If you are using SL Fans and the controller that does have the SL Marking, download L-Connect 2 and install it, test again. This apply to AL fans too.
5) If you intend to use the L-Connect 2 but your SL Fans and the controller does not have the SL Marking, you will need to do a firmware. ruclips.net/video/hZpzR_4917c/видео.html
hope all these will aid you.

It doesn't chance until i log in to windows.
Hi Kal EI, welcome to my channel .. regarding about the L-Connect V 2.0, Lian-li official website ( lian-li.com/product/uni-fan-sl/ ) have stated that they have remove that due to issues. if you do encounter problems to get your hub work, kindly raise an RMA case with them. lian-li.com/faq/ . do pardon me as I am not able to aid you on this. unless you are using the version 1.0. thank you!
Hey man, love your videos. I have had the unifans for about a month and they are working great. Yet I have a problem with the RGB cable with the 'sidehooks', somehow it does not properly lock itself in some of the slots of my controller. I actually have two controllers which have that problem with 1 slot. Am I stupid and doing something wrong or is the quality of that part lacking?
Hello Yorickos, welcome to my channel and thank you for the compliment. The hook is actually at the top. The side is there for you to hold on to. It does not really hook.

@Kleo Yan Hi there. I've had these installed for 7 or 8 months, I've 3 uni fans on one 360 radiatior and grouped into group 1. Also another 3 fans connected as a group on another 360 radiator as group 2. But in all this time I've had a problem that I've never been able to fix. So when running the Lian LI app, it reports the speed only on group 1 fans and I can control the speed of this group fine. But the other group continually spins at maximum RPM all the time. Now, I can change the colours on both groups of fans, but the speed control only works on the first group. I'm not using motherboard software to deal with the PWN or RGB, using the Lian Li controller box. All I have connected is the 4 cables from the 2 groups of fans (2 each the 3 pin and the 4 pin to the controller) then the power SATA to PSU and the USB to the motherboard. Can you please tell me no matter what I do, the 2nd group of fans continually spin at max RPM and the app shows "0 RPM".
Hi TonyTurbo, welcome to my channel. to narrow down your issue. it will be best to test the group 2 fans individually on another output of the uni controller, lets say use on group 3. this is to ensure that it's not a fan issue. if all works. then test one whole set to group 3 or 4. if that works. it could be group 2 output is not working properly.
@@KleoYan hey there. Yes I've done all that. Tried the other controller, plugged the cables in to different fans, only thing Ive never tried over the months is different cables cables as I could never find them haha. But surely not cable related as I can change colour fine and the fans spin maxed out. Maybe tomorroe I'll look up in thd loft once again. It's been like this since I bought them at the start of the year and just put up with it. Only reason I'm tackling it again is because tonight when gaming there was a horrible noise coming from my case. It turns out that the bearings have gone on one the lian li 120 uni fans which was in the group of 3 that's been running maxed out for 7 or 8 months. I'm guessing I should worry about the other2 from that ssmd group now haha. Thanks for getting back to me.
@@TonyTurbo78 you are most welcome. You have a very interesting channel going 😊 btw maybe try connect the problematic fans that are spinning at max directly to one of your motherboard fan headers. See if they react to what you have control in your motherboard UEFI or Bios. If it does not react. I would advise you to get it change with Lian Li, since they are still under warranty.
I just want to thank you so much for helping me with my issues with my fans! I just built my first pc two days ago and the rainbow colors were killing me! I am going to refer to a lot of your videos for this RGB mess!
Hi Ayanna Thomas, welcome to my channel. Thank you for following my video content. it will be good if you slowly digest which L-Connect app to use.

I'm going through same thing girl 😭 fling rainbow colors I just want blue
Hey Kleo,
I recently upgraded to SL120 V2. 10 in total.
All of the fans are spinning but the RGB isn't turning on.
My Device Manager doesn't detect the 'Universal Serial Bus Devices' and all the cables on the controller are connected.
Also the Lian Li Update Tool cannot find the device...
I updated my AMD Chipsets like you showed as well.
Please help me!
Hi DMAN, welcome to my channel, pardon me for the late reply. have you tried another USB header of your motherboard? I would suggest you to do basic troubleshooting steps as what I did, though this video is lenghty, try to spot the part where you have not done. It might help. ruclips.net/video/CgvuUFeff8U/видео.html
@@KleoYan Hi Kleo, thanks for the reply. I'll have to update my BIOS and see if that works. Thank you
@@KleoYan Is there a way to find out if the USB Header is working or not?
@@DMAN- when you plug the uni controller, does it detect or gives you a unknown device? another way to test your motherboard header is to plug a USB 2.0 plug where the other end enables you to plug any standard USB device like a thumb drive.
Thanks for all the great info! Thanks to you, I've got a Galahad and 10 UNI fans working with my fan curves and LED software. However, there's one thing-- I can't read the fan speed from the chassis fan header that connects to my UNI fan controller. I've tried hwinfo and speedfan, they both show 0 rpm. Based on my searches, it looks like it may be due to the UNI fan controller PWM cable only having 1 wire... you might need 3 for the sensors to read the fan speed, but I'm not sure. Do you have any ideas?
hi aznplucky, welcome to my channel. you are right. the uni controller will reach only with the temperature detected by the board then pass RPM commands from the motherboard fan header (the one you have plug in) to the fans connected to the uni controller. often you are unable to read the RPM is because the 3rd wire (Temperature Sensor) is occupied by the uni controller. in most cases, PC Builders will plug sets of fans directly to the motherboard for better control. be it top, bottom, rear, front or even the AIO radiator fans / CPU heatsink fans.
@@KleoYan Thanks for the reply, and for confirming my suspicion. It looks like I'll have to move the fan cables from the UNI controller to the motherboard. Time for some more cable management... 😅
@@aznplucky you are most welcome. now you dont have to worry about uni fan's fan load, they are rated 0.18a each and each motherboard fan header can take up to 1A and for FAN/PUMP will be at 2A, so you it's safe to daisy chain max up to 4 fans to one motherboard fan header.
Hi Kleo,
Wondering if you can help me with my issue.
I am currently running Tomahawk B550 from MSI, and just install these fans in my build, 2 SL140 as front fans.
I've connected them to my mobo through the aRGB header (JRAINBOW2) and USB port.
The connector is connected to SATA (Daisy chained with my two SSDs to PSU).
The fans are running, and the RGB is running as well. The first issue is that the RGB is only in the default rainbow mode, and cannot be changed or turned off. I've tried the L-connect software, in which it doesn't seem to recognize the fan (0 RPMS). When I bring up BIOS, it also does not recognize any system fans as well.
At first I thought this was just an RGB issue with the MSI Dragon Center, but seems that it may be that the fans arent being recognized. I have tried reinstalling and downloading the fixes to no avail as well.
Any suggestions?
Hi C Kay, try this. uninstall all L-Connect application and the fix if there are any. unplug all cables from the uni controller. Now connect only the USB Cable to your uni controller, with the SL140 fans connected to this uni controller. download and install the L-Connect. Check your device manager see if the uni fan controller is detected. once detected, plug in the sata to the uni controller. observe your fans, they should be default rpm and argb on rainbow, launch your L-Connect app. first thing to do is to select your fan settings to quiet or fast and click on apply all. see if the fans react and see if the RPM changes. next test your argb. if this does not work, it might just be the MSI board, I would suggest you to see help with lian li support team. lian-li.com/contact-us/ , once again thank you for your question and to have visit my channel.
My fans were working great then I got back from camping and they spin but I cant control it, and the rgb is dead. The controller shows up in device manager. The chipset download you recommend doesnt appear to be for windows 11. do you have any other ideas? i have a phantom z390b from asrock also they are the AL series not the SL.. Please help
Hi Jakes 420h, welcome to my channel. have you tried disconnecting and to test a fan at a time? or even re-installing the L-Connect application? if you did and failed, are there other argb programs installed to control other stuff? if you do have them I advise you to remove all argb programs in your system. use revo uninstaller ( www.revouninstaller.com/ ) as this program will remove all leftovers and registry files. Then reboot your system. install only the L-Connect app.
Hello I do not know if you still monitor this video as it's over a year old, but here's hoping. My UniFANs used to work, but after a windows reinstall I can not get the PWM on them to work anymore. I updated the firmware on my old hub so L-Connect 2 would work, but my motherboard(ASUS x570 Prime Pro) does not even see the hub connected on the Chassis Fan 2 header that it is plugged into. The rest of the hub operations work fine, but nothing I have tried has gotten PWM to work again.
Hello ehrie, welcome to my channel, the normal characteristic should be, your motherboard does not read the rpm if you are using the L-Connect2, but it sill relect on your L-Connect2 Dashboard. are you saying that the RPM is not shown in your L-Connect Dashboard when you set to PWM mode? maybe also check if your motherboard fan header that was connected to the uni controller, make sure you have set that to PWM Mode in your UEFI and to set the desire fan curve you need.
@@KleoYan I have it set to PWM in my motherboard's bios, but when I set it to PWM in the controller the fans stay at 1340 RPM no matter what I change the fan curve to in the bios. Edit: I should also mention this worked with the L-Connect 1 software. This behavior only started once I downloaded and upgraded the controller to be able to use L-Connect2.
@@talshiarAKS are you using the SL fans? and is there a SL Marking or labled in your SL uni controller? if there are no markings and you want to use L-Connect 2, you might want do to a firmware on your SL Uni controller. here is how. ruclips.net/video/hZpzR_4917c/видео.html .. if you need more info about the uni fan controller, I have a series of videos which might interest you. ruclips.net/p/PLEW-b-2vYDdPo0NzHyeksx012c-nkDapm

I have the ASUS B550-A motherboard, the USB is plugged into my motherboard and all the fans are on and connected. I looked at Universal Serial Bus devices and all I see is Aura LED Controller. I tried to delete the driver and reboot my system but the Aura LED Controller came back and Lian Li is still not there under the device manager. I uninstalled L-Connect and reinstalled it as administrator and I still don't see it, do you have any suggestions? The fans work and RGB is on but L-Connect doesn't work at all I can't change the speed or RGB color of my fans.

My fan is spinning and lighting up. I’ve updated all my drivers (including the cpu one) and lian li also shows up on my device manager. But when I go on L connect it doesn’t change anything and when I go on “L connect 2” it says that the controller isn’t connected though it says it it in device manager. Could you give me one assistance please.
Hi Javasius, welcome to my channel. may I ask a few questions? 1st which uni fans are you using AL or SL? 2nd if you are using SL fans, the uni controller itself, does it have a lable as SL? 3rd what motherboard are you using?
I'm about to do a build with 9 uni fans and a galahad AIO 360. Is it better to have all 9 fans go to one uni contoller for RPM or does it make more sense to plug the 3 fans on the radiator directly to the motherboard for RPM? Which way works best to allow the PC to adjust temps automatically when the CPU runs hot?
Hi Jimmy, thank you for your question, Just my opinion. Connect all 9 fans to the uni controller. Both argb and fan connector. Configuration as follow
3 x fans to output 1 let L-connect to control the fan rpm consistently
3 x fans to output 2 again let L-connect to control the fan rpm consistently
As for the 3 x fans on radiator, same as the above but on L-connect, set to rpm to follow your motherboard pwm curve.
This way you can manage your cable nicely.
You can also choose to connect the 3 radiator fans directly to the motherboard fan header and leave the argb connector on your uni controller.
The choice is yours and if you do like my content, kindly subscribe and to click on the notification bell. Thank you very much.
@@KleoYan THank you. If I connect the 3 radiator fans directly to the motherboard fan header will all 9 fans still sync up automatically when the CPU temp rises?
@@jimmydamico6470 hi, the configuration I have mentioned will only kick the radiator fans. If you want all fans to follow the motherboard fan curve. Then connect all fans to the uni controller and set all ouput to pwm on the L-connect app. That will simplify the whole operation. One more thing to note. Make sure your L-connect starts up when you boot to windows. Instructions as follow
- Click “Windows” + “R”-
- Enter : “shell:startup”
- Click “OK"
- Copy your “L-Connect shortcut” to “Startup” file
- Restart your PC
@@KleoYan Thank you. And lastly, if i have all of my fans set to PWN do I need to change that setting in the BIOS as well? And what is the recommended fan curve to set?
@@jimmydamico6470 yes you will need to. I am not sure what motherboard are you using as it might be different from mine, so you might need to check your motherboard manual or to fiddle on your Bios/UEFI to set that specific motherboard fan header to PWM
make sure you did plug the PWM cable from the uni controller to this specific motherboard fan header.
all of my fans rgb works perfectly fine but the bottom 3 wont spin and i've already checked for updates in l connect. what can i do to get the fans to spin?
Hi Chris, welcome to my channel. which fans are you using? did you try each individual fans before daisy chain? if individual works. try daisy chain again.. test with 2 and then 3. if it does not work, change to another port of the controller, if is still does not work, change the cable. you have to narrow down one step at a time.
@@KleoYan it took a while but i fixed it. i assume the controller was faulty. luckily i ordered 2 120mm triple pack fans so i connected the spare controller and my fans now spin.

Hello I have 9 Lian-li fans on my pc right now, 2 on the radiator which is 140 and 7 on the sides. I did the steps on your other video how to connect them but the app won't control them. The fans are on and with lights but it doesn't seem to respond on the app. I have ASUS TUF Gaming H670 Pro motherboard. Can you please help me? T_T
Hello Lanzealot, welcome to my channel, just like to check, I assume you are using the SL uni fans, which L-Connect version are you using? kindly note that if your Uni fan controller does not have a SL Marking, you will need to use the L-Connect original version. If your controller have the SL marking, then you can use the L-Connect 2. assuming you are using the correct L-Connect. Are you using the armoury crate before you install the L-Connect app? If you are, i would advise you to remove both Armoury crate and L-Connect using revo uninstaller www.revouninstaller.com/ . This uninstaller is to remove all leftover files and registery. once you have done that, reboot your system, check on device manager, make sure you are able to see your uni fan controller under Universal Serial Bus Devices. if it's listed, install the L-Connect application and try testing your fans PWM and ARGB. once ok, then install your armoury crate program.
Hello Kleo, thank you for the video but I'm having some trouble with my sl120's as well. They all spin and work but the controller doesn't show up in my device manager. I checked all the wires and they all are put in properly, every time I go to the app it says that my controller is not plugged in. Do you have any idea what this can be?
hello Philo Bolok, welcome to my channel. A few things you might need to check.
1) Does your SL Uni controller has an SL marking on it. if it has, make use of L-Connect 2, if there are no SL Marking, then use L-Connect
2) Do you happened to have another argb software that's running before you install the L-Connect app, if you did, try this, uninstall all argb programs including the L-Connect, kindly make use of revo uninstaller (www.revouninstaller.com/) as this will remove all leftover files and registry of the programs you wanted to uninstall, reboot the system once you have done that and check the device manager again. If it appears, install L-Connect only and try again
3) If 1) and 2) does not work, does your motherboard have another USB Header where you can plug to? Try that.
4) If it still does not work, let me know which motherboard brand and model you are using, will check for you if there are any fixes at Lian Li official website.
@@KleoYan I would like to take this time to thank you so very much, I was going to return the fans because I didn't know what was wrong with them and I couldn't delete the file. Again I appreciate all your help and will definitely subscribe and like every one of your videos. thank you again!!!

Hello Mohammed, welcome to my channel. which motherboard are you using. it could be your motherboard argb ultility argb application is blocking the L-connect to recognise your uni controller. I would advise you to uninstall your motherboard argb utilty app using revo uninstaller, reboot your pc, once it's up and running, install the L-Connect application and make sure to run as administrator while installing it.
Hi Kleo, I've selected PWM in the L-Connect for my fans. For some reason when I first boot up my pc, the fan would always go 100% full for a couple seconds, then it becomes normal after. I assume it's just the motherboard bio taking a couple seconds for the fan curve to be recognized. Is there a way to not have it go 100% full on startup?
Hi Buddy N, this is normal. you can try plug all your fan set to the respective motherboard fan header instead of the uni controller.. You see the fans will take commands from L-Connect which is right after windows boot up. By connecting to fans direclty to your motherboard fan header should minimize this problem.
@@KleoYan Thx for the reply. I will just leave as is, it's only a couple seconds. So not too bad
@@BuddyPickleball ok buddy. btw thanks for your valuable question and pardon me.. took me this long to reply. busy at work.
I just finished my pc L-connect is not working. My fans connected on B550 to Fan controller with SL mark register as Lian-li but the application does not register the controller.
Hi Envy 7, welcome to my channel, I like to check before you install the L-Connect app. did your system detect the controller? looks under device management. at Universal Serial Devices. if it did show, now which L-Connect did you download? if your uni controller has the SL Marking, use L-Connect 2 and not L-Connect.
@@KleoYan My system detects the controller as Lian Li in my Universal Serial Devices. I first tried using L-Connect 2 and when that didnt work I tried L-Connect and then finally went to L-Connect 3 which seems to notice that my Uni-Hub is connected despite registering as Lian Li. The firmware update through the usbisp does not find my device even when I try to browse for it.
Thank you so much for the detailed explaination. For me, i didn't had to add the l-connect fix. because now l-connect v2 released with that bug fix. but they didn't fix the pwm mode. i had to change in bios like you and use the temp use input to cpu so that the system fan can follow the cpu like the cpu fan.

Muhammad Mejanul Haque, welcome to my channel and am glad you've sorted things out and provide feedback which will be valuable to viewers. once again thank you to have visited my channel and to write out the feedback. 👍
Okay I have two controllers both with” No SL/AL “ so I have L-connect and I also updated them to be supported in L-connect 2 but didn’t work only controls my AIO lian li liquid cooler rgb. As for 10 fans can be controlled by L-connect then 2 fans immediately turn off as in the RGB. First controller has the four fans connected those fans have Daisy chained to other fans. LastLy the 2 controller is with the AIO pump rgb and power connectors. So the problem is maybe the fans aren’t signaling the last 2 fans idk can u help. Also I have 12 fans in total with 12x.65 = 7.8 A still under the uni output of 10 A
hi, can you look at your L-Connect 2 software. in the software itself, right below LED MODE where you select Static, Runaway etc, there are some boxes which indicate #1 01 02 03 04 are they lited up? you might have a set of daisy chained fans connected but you have not set the fans to lite up. so make sure you select 01 02 03 04 on and it depends on how many fans you have daisy chained. do remember max is up to 4 fans and not more.

Hi Vito Canuso, welcome to my channel. It depends on which controller you are looking for.. you might want to have a look at Lian Li's aliexpress official store www.aliexpress.com/store/911265363/pages/all-items.html?
Not sure if you've been asked about this problem yet but I had everything up and running fine...10 sl fans, and a 24pin strimmer plus using two controllers. I accidentally clicked on the "motherboard software sync" button and now nothing works. The fans don't light up at all, fans are running at a higher speed...everything shows up still in L Connect 2 including both controllers, and all the fans. I checked in the Universal serial bus devices and both controllers are showing there without me doing anything. Just as a precaution I deleted Armory Crate which I was using to control my ram only, but even after a couple reboots the ram is stuck in frozen in the mode it was running. The Gif logo on my Z73 is still working fine, and the rgb on gpu. All 10 fans are just black.
Hi Nucl3ar, welcome back to my channel. Yes I do have friends who have these issues, ended up redo a fresh copy of windows 10 or 11. you see when you trigger motherboard mode on L-Connect. It triggers the IRQ address to switch. so if it happens that the IRQ is of the same as your amour crate. that will conflict and causes problem. For your info, the IRQ that is occupied by either app (L-connect and Motherboard utility like Asus Armoury Crate or MSI Dragon Center or even the Gigabyte fusion) is conflicting. so ended up they choose to use Uni fans argb via L-Connect and the fan rpm directly plug to the motherboard header. that will resolve the issue.
@@KleoYan Hey thank you for the response I actually got it fixed without a windows reinstall. What I was uninstall both Armoury Crate and L connect, reinstalled L Connect, and then toggled the motherboard switch on/off and it all came back. I don't even actually have any argb cables connected to the motherboard. Appreciate your time, and the informative videos!

@@KleoYan I might've spoke too soon once I installed Armoury+Aura next time I opened L Connect it went all wonky again. I wonder if it would work if just Armoury Crate on it's own with aura would work. Or does iCue have the same problems when using along with L connect? The one step I forgot to add when I fixed the first time was I did a system restore. I'm trying that now to see if this helps.
@@nucl3arboNg all I can say is that, for some cases. The motherboard utility app took control of the IRQ which prevent full function of the L-Connect app. This does happened to chrome from Razer. As for icue. I don’t thing it will interfere.
I just found this channel, but Im having an issue where the Fans Show up, but the RGB cannot be changed in L-Connect 3. Ive updated the Graphics drivers, Ive done the INF driver, and Ive made sure the software is up to date. I can change the strimmer but the fans are unresponsive.
Hi Apocalypse, welcome to my channel, if you are using L-Connect 3, you must first have your CPU and GPU readings first before you can control your fans.

Hello xViizousx, welcome to my channel, I can assume that you mean your fans does not react to the argb effects. have you checked under device manager. if the uni controller is showing under Universal Serial Bus Devices? also are you having other argb programs running before you install the L-Connect? btw which uni fans are you using?
I have the AL version of this fan followed your steps with nothing. Ive tried everything and have been trying to get my controller to be detected for about a week. I even exchanged my fans to make sure it wasnt a hardware issue. Is there anything else I could try? thanks for your help !
Hi Greg Guluzian, welcome to my channel. may I ask, do you have another argb program installed in your system before you install the L-Connect 2? example for Asus you have amoury crate or Gigabyte the Fushion. if that's the case, you can give this a try, uninstall all argb program using revo uninstaller www.revouninstaller.com/revo-uninstaller-free-download/ . This uninstaller will remove all left over files. Next, turn off your PC, remove the power cable to your PSU and leave it unplug for 30 to 45 seconds. next turn it back on and install only the L-Connect 2 app. try out the function to control the argb effects. if that works then install the rest of the argb program.
Hey im using the SL140 I think everything applies to them as well. Anyways I can't get them working properly in PWM mode. They are connected properly the L-connect Software is working but my motherboard MSI B550M mortar WiFi doesn't get a signal from them.

More questions. I plugged my aio into the cpu fan header and the radiator fans into usb header on mobo. I only want to control thru mobo bios (don’t want to control via icue). Not sure exactly what option to pick in the smart fan section of my bios to control the pump speed and radiator fans. Is the pump speed control called CPU in this fan section? If yes, how do I control it. Do I need to select pwm and manual to set fan curves? I tried selecting full speed but doesn’t seem to do anything.
It depends if your pump is 4pin or 3pin. If your pump is 3pin and your mobo is set to pwm mode. Your pump will go full speed. Unless you change it to dc mode and select fix profile. This should help explain pwm and dc mode in your mobo ruclips.net/video/MCMkrQwFnKM/видео.html

Try this, uninstall all argb programs including the L-Connect app using Revo uninstaller www.revouninstaller.com/www.revouninstaller.com/ then reboot your system. First thing is to view at device manager, to see if the lian li controller is showing under Universal Serial Bus Devices. if you do see it as 6K7750, install the L-connect 2 or 3 and try again. if you do see 6K7750, it means that your controller is brick. you will need to contact lian li to have your controller replaced. ruclips.net/video/uMgUYiakpxM/видео.html

I got a little issue. Whenever I put all fans at full speed with Lconnect, only the 3 daisy chained connect to source one on the Uni controller will reach its top speed 1900rpm. Fans connected to source 2 and 3 reach only 1700rpm. Have you experienced this?
Hi Rafael Almeida, welcome to my channel. I have not encounter your issue but you might want to try swap the fan connectors from source 2 to source 1. To check if the original source 2 fans able to go full speed at source 1 output. If able to, the fans are not faulty and next is to check if original source 1 fans able to go full speed at source 2 output. If able to, means there might be connection issue. If not able to, this might be a controller issue, try reseat the usb cable between the uni controller to your motherboard usb fan header. See if it helps.

Hey, first of all thanks for the video. I have 3 daisy chained AL 120 connected to their controller, i installed the chipset for the MB and the controller is detected on the device manager, i have my PWM mode ON, i can control the RGB but the fans are stuck and i can't control the RPM, any ideas?
Hi Mr. Dahomey, welcome to my channel. Did you set to PWM mode in the UEFI? as most of the time motherboard fan headers are set to Auto. try change that to PWM.
@@KleoYan Yes, i plugged PWM fan cables on the MB fan header and changed auto to PWM in the BIOS, I made a custom curve in the BIOS and the fans are working fine now, but they are still on 0 RPM in L-Connect and I can't control them with the software

Hi Kleo, I am having issues with 1 of my Uni Fans, I have a total of 7 on my o11 Dynamic XL. Top 3 and bottom 3 work fine, I have 1 rear fan that lights up but the fan fails to spin. I unplugged it and plugged it in a differnt port on the controller and the same issues occur. I tried to change the cable from the fan itself to the controller and then the fan fails to light up, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn, if I wiggle the cable on the controller for that specific fan group the light goes on and off on the specific fan. So far, the problem follows that specific fan. Any other ideas on what I can do to fix it? Thanks
Hi Dreday2000, thanks for your question. As what you have mentioned to me, you did narrow down some issues, 1st your uni controller is not at fault, 2nd the cable that comes with it is also not at fault as the other fans does react. the only problem is this specific fan. as much as I wanted to investigate for you. I would advise you to contact Lian-Li support and to submit a RMA form. lian-li.com/contact-us/

I had a question. I have 3 sets of uni fans, all set up to 1 - 2 -3 on the control module. Sets 2 and 3 run perfectly, have them set to quiet and everything works as it should. However, the set that is on my 360 RAD is pinned to max for a good 10 - 15 mins after boot, until, suddenly, it goes back to my own settings. Any ideas?
Hi ALittleGamey, welcome to my channel by right all fans will have a short burst at the start as the pc starts at null state till UEFI or Bios is loaded, as in the pwm take place. As in the fan curve will start. As for your case, you might want to try connect your rad fans directly to the fan header of your motherboard. See if they react that way. 10 to 15 minutes is abit too long.
my problem almost the same i have 3 set fan too, all 3 set run pwm mode fine, but shutdown on the next boot only fan set 2 & 3 follow pwm mode, 1set fan look like in default quiet mode around +-800rpm, my 1 set fan always not follow pwm mode until i set it with L c connect it only follow pwm mode
@@nvergiln Try swapping the port they are connected to on the controller. Try removing and reinstalling the connection link on the first fan in the group. Try a different fan link cable. Change the order of the fans in the group so the link connects to a different fan. Get a bag of rattles and bones and pray to the powers that be.

Hi. I enjoyed your video and thanks for making time to do this. But still my issues of the USB not recognising my unifan is there. I have downloaded the chipset drivers for my chipset B550 AMD ryzen 7. I have re install the L connect and L Fix but still there no RGB and USB does recognise it other than the AURA LED controller
Hi hafiz jumat. Welcome to my channel. I would advise you to remove the USB that says Lian li under device manager, remove all L-Connect app, remove your motherboard utility that controls the argb and fan rpms, reboot your pc. Reinstall then motherboard utility first then reboot, install the L-connect application as admistrator in windows and try again. Reason for this as what I encounter with my friends build. The motherboard utility room admin control. That’s why. So you might want to try the steps I have provided you. If still can’t, kindly raise your concern at Lian li official website. There is a FAQ support for you to raise a support ticket.
Dear sir thank you for your good advice and helpful tips , i am hoping you can give me some trouble shooting regarding the Galahad 360 CPU LEDs are no longer lighting up. The 3 fans and RGB lights are all good , but when i changed my 3 SL Front fans for 3 AL fans my CoU lights stoped coming on, i thought i might have had too many fans plugged into uni controller , so i used the other controller off my SL Fans and plunged my CPU RGB header into the box alone , whilst having the SATA , usb, and the one black wire 4 pin header all connected the my Gigabit Mother board , but no luck , tried the intel chipset upgrade , could i have blown the ARGB's and if so can they be replaced ? Any advice would be a great help many thanks
HI alaster, welcome to my channel. just call me Kleo will do, as for your case. I think you need to know which controller to use. You can only use SL fans to a SL Controller, for AL fans to a AL controller. To have both SL and AL Controller to work, use L-Connect 2 application as it allows to control both SL and AL controller. I would advise you to take baby steps. remove all controllers to your USB header on your motherboard. Start with removing all L-Connect application, install only the L-Connect 2 application. then having lets say your AL Fans conntected to it's controller, test things out. if that works, off your PC, connect the SL Controller to another USB port of your motherboard, then plug the SL Fans to this controller. now when you power up your PC, you should be seeing two taps on the L-Connect application. As for safety meaures, just make sure that for each controller port (1 , 2 , 3 and 4), do not plug more than 4 fans to one port. your galahad argb connector can be plug to either of the controllers, not an issue. give it a try.
@@KleoYan Kleo, many thanks for getting back i did not realise both controllers we're different as they look like the same ! I will unplug them all and as you said take baby steps , i am gutted about losing my CPU cooler Lights , thats why i bought the Galahad in the first place lol

Hello Nick Andriola, welcome to my channel, it looks like your Asus Crate took over control over the USB header. You might want to remove your L-Connect application first. reboot the system and re-install the L-Connect application using administrator mode. if it still does not work, remove your Asus Crate and L-Connect, install the L-connect first and test your unit. then install your Amour Crate.. alot MSI And Asus users are having this issues whereby the utility program is taken over the motherboard USB 2.0 header.
@@KleoYan Thanks, but that couldnt seem the solve the issue after deleting crate and redownloading L-Connect, when i replug my usb 2.0 my computer fails to recognize it.
@@nickainthere4640 this is strange. Maybe double checked your UEFI under chipset. See if the USB 2.0 is enabled or disable. If it's till not the setting of your UEFI, it might be the USB cable to your uni controller is faulty. Do you have another PC to test on?
Can you connect a fan group directly to a motherboard header and the rgb to the controller? That way you control different fan groups speed from the motherboard software and rgb from l-connect? I can have 1 fan group with 3 front fans going to a 1 header, another fan group with 3 top fans to another and 1 rear fan to another and have 3 different fan curves on motherboard software? I just dont like the idea of having 1 fan curve for 7 fans
Hello m4nu, welcome to my channel. yes you can. just have the fan argb connected to the uni controller and their respective fan loads on the motherboard fan header, not an issue, plus each SL120 fan is having fan load of 0.18a and a standard motherboard fan header is at 1a and some even 2a. so you should not have a problem connecting up to 4 fans to one motherboard fan header. the only concern is argb load as each fan is at 0.65a which most motherboard argb header can cater for max 3a.
@@KleoYan hey thanks for your prompt response. The argb part i believe wont be a problem. Im actually getting the “AL” fans and will just let the rgb part go through the included controller and will manage lighting through L-Connect and fan speed through motherboard software.

Hi Arroyies, welcome to my channel. There are a few things you might want to check, 1st are your cables plug properly, especially the argb cable that goes from your uni controller to your motherboard, also did you plug to the correct header? on L-Connect, did you switch to motherboard mode before you launch your motherboard application?
refer to this video for the connection ruclips.net/video/Rm2emeyMUAk/видео.html
@@KleoYan thank you, I was able to locate the issue for the rgb. But I still can't control the fan speed Ai suite 3
@@Arroyies Hi Arroyies, you might want to check two things, 1st the pwm connector that has only one single wire, is that connected between your uni controller to the motherboard fan header. take note of the motherboard fan header (example Chassis_Fan 3). go to your motherboard bios/UEFI, go to the fan settings and check the fan header which you have plug on the motherboard, make sure it's set to PWM and not auto or DC mode.

Hi Kleo.
I appreciate your video and helping with these issues. however, I have a different issue with these Lian-li SL-uni-infinity fans with the controller. I have got the software up to date and got everything connected as supposed to as well as software working, and fans however reacts accordingly. my Issue comes as soon as I Launch a game. the game would launch and just when you want to start playing my PC reboots. Now I am not sure why, but I've looked at so may scenarios, but nothing really helps me understand my situation. also, I can clearly say it is from the fans/controller, due to if I have my original Cooler master fans connected this doesn't happen and I can play for as long as possible. also running a bench test with the lain-li fans connected then the pc runs smooth with no issues. I can stress the graphics card and everything no issues. but as soon as I want to play a game, the pc reboots. can you think of something, or have you had an issue similar to this yet?
Hi Robert Backhouse, welcome to my channel. I have not encountered the issue you are having. You might want to try disconnect the controller and run your game. This is to narrow down if it’s the controller issue or a game program issue. If it still react that way without the uni controller. Then you know is not the controller issue.
I can't get the fans to report their RPM to the Uni Fan software at all. It shows 0 rpm no matter what solution or setting I use. Bad controller maybe?
I figured it out. Though I have rev 2 SL fans they did not come with a rev 2 controller box. They came with a rev 1. As in there is no SL marking on it. Therefore I could not use L-Connect 2 to control them.
If you are having the same issue make sure you install L-Connect 1.

Hi KingALLO, welcome to my channel. Yes they are loud if you have a whole bunch of them. You might want to try plugging the sets of fan load directly to the motherboard fan headers and make use of pwm mode to do customise fan curve. As what I have tested on my board, you can set them to run at 15percent. You will need to do some adjustment according to your board. Do note that by doing this, your system overall temperature will raise.
how do I go about testing these fans before I install them on my PC I want to make sure their not DOA before I do all that work.
Hi Mark Edington. Welcome to my channel. If you know how to power up a psu without the motherboard. First when the psu is power off, you can connect the sata cable from the psu to your uni controller. Then plug the fans to the controller ports. Next power up your psu. The fan will spin and the fan argb will be by default rainbow effect.
This is what you be needing a.co/d/7PLBlag Connect this to your psu 24pin cable of your psu. Not on the psu but on the 24pin cable itself. Then power it up but turning on your psu switch.
I can not download the l connect driver on any app. what should I do? Every time I boot up my pc, RPM stay 0 all the time until i unplug the USB header. What should i do?
best is to check your PC any anti virus software blocking Lian Li downloads or such. If you are unable to determine what's causing you not able to download, maybe you can use another pc or laptop to try download the L-Connect application.

How can you control the fans with pwm if the controller is connected to the motherboard via usb as instructed on the manual? The controller is not connected to a fan header.
Hi Jack Wu, welcome to my channel. The PWM Fan connector that is between the uni controller and to the fan header is taking readings/instructions from the single wire from the PWM connector. it will then pass through the uni controller, which has the control over the set of fans.
Hi Kleo !!
question, my sl120 fans suddenly just stopped connecting to the L-Connect app reverting my rgb to the default rainbow colors, when I try to open the app again it says "controller is not connected" ive tried everything to unplug and replug the fans but its still not working :/ any chance you might know anything?

1) Turn off your PC totally
2) unplug the cable that is connecting between your motherboard USB 2.0 header and your uni controller
3) Switch off your PSU and unplug the AC cable
4) Leave it to 45 seconds
reason to do this is to reset and to clear previous settings (exclude your UEFI settings)
5) Plug back the cable that is connecting between your motherboard USB 2.0 header to your uni controller
6) Plug back AC cable to your PSU, turn your PSU on and power up your system.
try the above method
and it still does not work. do you have another PC to test on the uni controller, this will narrow down if your controller is faulty or malfunctioning.
if all the above failed, I would advise you to approach Lian Li official website and to redeem your warranty (1 to 1 replacement)

Hello I have an issue with my AL120 fans. The rgb is changeable but the fans are stuck at max rpm and when I change the speed it doesn't change? Can someone please help!
Hi natunes, welcome to my channel, I like to check did you go to your UFEI / Bios settings to set the fan as PWM mode? also have you set a profile for that specific fan header?
i tried everything in this video and quadruple checked that everything was plugged in correctly and yet the fans still arent being detected in device manager and no rgb.. at least the fans themselves work, but id really like for the rgb to work and for the rpm to be changeable.. any more ideas on what could be wrong??
Hi pinecsne, welcome to my channel, maybe can you list down what motherboard you are using and are you using the SL120 uni fans?
@@KleoYan msi b450 gaming plus max and yes i am, also i have an adapter to go from 5v to 12v
@@pinecsne based on your specs. do you happened to have the MSI Dragon center installed? if you did, uninstalled it along with your L-Connect app. kindly use revo uninstaller to remove all unwanted files and registry www.revouninstaller.com/ ( watch this timestamp for illustrationruclips.net/video/uMgUYiakpxM/видео.html ) then follow the steps below
1) once uninstall everything, shut down your pc, unplug the power cable to your pc and leave it for 45 seconds, this will flush out all memory of devices attached to your mobo
2) Connect the USB cable between your uni controller to your motherboard. Also connect the sata cable between your uni controller to your PSU source. you need not have to plug the third cable which is the PWM and argb cable ( ruclips.net/video/Rm2emeyMUAk/видео.html )
3) Boot up your system, look in device manager and look under Universal Serial Bus Devices, do you see the lian li controller.
4) Now does your uni controller have a SL marking or without a SL Marking, if it's without SL marking, you can only download the L-Connect app and not L-Connect 2 or 3 ( ruclips.net/video/hZpzR_4917c/видео.html )
5) once installed the L-Connect app. try to fiddle to see if you can have the argb lighting to work.
Last but not least why do you need a 5v to 12v adaptor.. this will not work as each led does not communicate. ARGB = Addressable RGB (5v) , RGB = non addressable RGB (12v)
@@KleoYan thank you for all the information but i have never installed msi dragon center so i dont think i have it. also this is my first build but the fans came with a plug for a 3pin rgb header but my motherboard was 4 pin so i thought an adaptor would work?
@@pinecsne I see, you can ignore the argb cable to be plug between the uni controller to the motherboard, just follow my steps above 1) to 5) and you will be able to play with the argb effects.
Thanks for the informative video, it seems that when i go to device manager an unknown usb device shows and i know that is the controller i might just not of understood but i am unsure what to do next i have installed all drivers i believe and this is my first build, thanks.
Hi Kyle Stark, welcome to my channel. just to ask, are you using another other argb program besides this L-Connect. Most of the time i've encounter is due to the fact that you have installed the motherboard argb app which prevents you to use the L-Connect app to function. You might want to try uninstall the motherboard argb app using revo uninstaller where it cleans up all the left over files (www.revouninstaller.com/revo-uninstaller-free-download/), next shut down your PC, unplug the PSU AC cable, let it sit for 30 to 40 seconds, turn your PC back on, install only the L-Connect app, have a look at device manager. if it shows you the lian li device, try using L-Connect app to see if your fans respond to the argb and rpm settings. if it does, reboot your PC and try again. If all work out well, then install the motherboard argb program if you need it.
@@KleoYan Hi thanks for the quick response i did previously have another argb program but i uninstalled it and most other programs like that when i reset my windows as i seen on some reddit forums that said that may fix the problem but that did not do anything except remove most of my programs.
@@kylestark1754 which motherboard are you using. Don’t mind me asking. Thanks.
@@KleoYan Im using the B550 Auros elite v2
Is it perhaps the cables and not the software? Thats the problem.
I am having problem with Uni on my aorus b550i not spin at all. Also bios does not detect being plug in to fan header.
Hi mr2cqql, welcome to my channel. Bios will not detect the rpm if you are connecting the rpm cable between the controller to the motherboard fan header. You will only be able to see the rpm on your L-Connect application. As for why your fans are not spinning, is either your fan daisy chain is lose somewhere or have you set your bios to pwm mode instead of dc mode.
@@KleoYan The controller design even if the mb header goes bad the fans still spin to prevent overheating, that means even with the pwn header unplug the fans should spins at max rpm. I had my bios fans all to pwm mode. In the meantime the uni controller only act as the RGB only, I had the each of the uni fans plug directly to the mb fans headers and able to control the speeds of the fans. I really think my controller is bad from the beginning.
@@mr2cqql Hi, I see, infact leaving your fan load on MB is still the best way to control the fans. leave the aRGB for the uni controller to control the effect.
now having to say this, you wouldn't want to have a faulty uni controller, I will advise you to do a test on each fan and on each output individually, just to confirm if your uni controller is faulty. If it is, best to have it change while it's still under warranty.
I'm having a problem with the last daisy chained fan rgb not lighting up or responding any ideas?
Hello ziggy2070, welcome to my channel. Lets say there are 3 sets of fans where you have plug to the uni controller, output 1 and output 2 (both working) and your last set output 3 (your fans not working) Can you try swapping output 2 with output 3? see if those problematic fans are working? if it's not working, that means your fan had some connection issues. If the fans works on output 2, that means your output 3 is having an issue.
@@KleoYan All 3 are connected to port 3, I did have it on one. the fan can always be controlled but sometimes not the rgb i swapped the fans around and the last one had the issue again. I found that its best not to install the fans together first and then attach is a bad method. but to scew each fan in seperate and then attach the next one/screw in and so on(I think screwing in can have a twisting effect). lastly the last one in the chain now has main rgb and fan control but now the four surrounding lights do not work. I sent an email to Lian Li asking for a diag process and they simply wrote back saying they would get the factory to send me a new one.
@@Daedalus_UK I see, ok.. now I like to check with you.. you are using the SL or AL fans? for the SL fans, if your controller does not have the SL marking, you can only use the L-Connect app. If you intend to use it on L-Connect 2 or L-Connect 3. you will have to do a firmware which this video might help you out. ruclips.net/video/hZpzR_4917c/видео.html
If you are only using the AL Fans, you can use L-connect 2 or L-connect 3.
@@KleoYan I have AL and I already have L-connect 2 and performed the firmware update when I first installed them just over a week ago. Device manager al ver is 1.1
@@Daedalus_UK ok, one last thing before am clueless, do you happened to install other argb program before you install the L-Connect 2? example Asus Armoury Crate, MSI Dragon Center, Gigabyte Fusion or even ASrock Polygram? if you did, try this.. uninstall the motherboard argb program and the L-Connect 2.. now please note Armour Crate has it's own removal tool (Check on their website) as for the rest, make use of Revo uninstaller ruclips.net/video/uMgUYiakpxM/видео.html , then once done, shut down your PC first. remove the AC power cable to your PSU, let it sit for 45 seconds or so, plug back and turn your PC back on. then install only the L-Connect 2 app. see if that works. if it does not.. I can only say that your controller is faulty, that you will need to wait for lian li to send you a replacement as you've mentioned.
help !!! my problem is that when I connect the pwn cable to the ch fan 1, 2 or 3 of the motherboard (I tested in the 3) the fans if they rotate but they cannot be controlled neither with the motherboard software nor with the lian li , and when entering the bios it does not recognize the connected fan. It comes out as if nothing was connected. If I connect the fans cable directly to the fan ch without connecting to the unihub, it recognizes them and I can change the rpm from the mobo software. but I'm afraid because the fan ch only has 1 A and the sum of the 3 unifans gives more than that, I provided everything from your videos. (the rgb if it works normal). Even if the fan is not recognized, change all the fan ch to pwn (sorry for the English, use translator) mobo asus x570 prime pro
Hi Juan Pablo Robles Hoyos, welcome to my channel. as for why your fan can't be control in uni controller. go to your motherboard UEFI, set fan to PWM mode. then on uni controller, set to PWM. that should work.
Now this is additional info, there are two load in these Unifan,
1) aRGB Load 0.65a for each fan, this is for light effects. You don't have to worry so long your fan argb connectors are connected to the uni controller.
2) Fan Load 0.18a for each fan. If you plug 3 x uni fan to ch fan which is 1A, it's ok as 3 x 0.18a = 054a , your ch fan is 1a.
hi bro, my unifan fans are working but the rgb fans are not. what did i miss? im pretty sure its plugged correctly.
i can see my device and i can change the fan speeds but no rgb
HI Ragarok Dada, welcome to my channel. have you tried just to connect one single fan to the uni controller and leaving the usb cable between the uni controller to the motherboard connected? try do basic troubleshooting. it might be a glitch somewhere. as you've mentioned you uni controller is about to change the fan's speed.
Ive been having to manually change the rpm for a little while im using lian li connect 3 I can change color and everything but the fan curves that I set arent doing anything any fixes?
Hello THRAXX, this video is in the past which is the original L-Connect, you might want to view this ruclips.net/video/CgvuUFeff8U/видео.html which might aid you. or to try the troubleshooting steps below
Disclaimer : Though the chances are very low to brick firmware updates on motherboard and to any controllers. I will not be responsible if you have brick your motherboard or controller.
1) Make sure your motherboard bios is up to date, please check on your motherboard manufacture website, under support > bios and drivers. See if there are issues with USB and do they have a fix. If there are, kindly update those bios firmware version.
2) Make sure your chipset driver for your motherboard is up to date! For AMD will be at www.amd.com/en/support for Intel will be Intel Driver & Support Assistant Intel DSA www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html
3) Remove all argb apps (Asus Armory Crate / MSI Dragon Center / Giga Fusion / Asrock Polychrome). If the brands which I have mentioned, do have a uninstall tool like the Asus Armory Crate, use that, else use Revo uninstaller ( www.revouninstaller.com/ ). Revo uninstaller will remove all unwanted files / folder / registry in your system. Illustration to use revo uninstaller ruclips.net/video/uMgUYiakpxM/видео.html
4) Shutdown your PC, unplug the PSU cable from your AC outlet. Press the power switch twice to discharge all current that your motherboard is holding. Leave it for 45 second
5) While waiting, please do not use KVM switches. Disconnect all devices that are connected to your motherboard (front / back IO). Leave only your Keyboard, Mouse , Monitor and Ethernet (If you have) connected directly to your motherboard.
If your monitor has a KVM build-in, remove the USB cable from your monitor to your motherboard USB socket. If your mouse and keyboard are connected to your monitor, please remove them and plug them directly to your motherboard instead.
6) Plug only one Uni controller or Strimer Plus V2 controller. If its for Uni Fan (SL/AL) use only 3 fans to an output of the uni controller.
7) Plug the power cable and turn on your PC
8) Go to your Device Manager, look under Universal Serial Bus Devices, make sure you see the Lian Li uni / strimer plus V2 controller.
9) Install the L-Connect 3 app only lian-li.com/l-connect3/ (current version 1.3.16)
10) After installation, run L-Connect 3, check under Setting > General > make sure Auto-Run on Boot and Minimized L-Connect 3 to system tray at close are ON.
11) Reboot your system.
12) First thing you need, go to device manager and see if the Lian Li controller is listed, next open up the L-Connect 3 app. Check if there is a need to update firmware to your controller. Go to Settings > Update, under Device F/W version, click on Update Check, download and install the firmware. Make sure the firmware is completed. Do a check on device manager and make sure the Lian Li controller is listed.
13) On L-Connect 3 dashboard, check if the CPU and GPU readings are reacting, you might want to test it using some benchmark programs. If there are reaction, play with the PWM and argb functions. If it does not work, skip step 14) and proceed step 16)
14) If Single controller works, shutdown your pc, connect uni fan set of 3 to your output of your uni controller. Do it small steps at a time to hook up your sets of fans. do not do all in one go. If successful and you have a second controller, proceed small step at a time again.
15) Slowly plug back your USB devices (Headset, Microphone, Printer, USB Capture Card and etc). At any point of time as you add those devices one at a time, if L-Connect 3 become unresponsive. This tells you that there power is insufficient to power up more USB Devices. Whatever USB port on your motherboard, there is a limitation as the current are shared across the board, be it front or back I/O and the internal USB Header. You might need to get a Internal USB Hub that comes with a Sata Power source to the Internal USB Hub. (Disclaimer, buying a internal usb hub might or might not resolve this issue, purchase at your own expenses)
16) If it does not work, report your issues to Lian li Tech Support. There is a in build log ticketing system in L-Connect 3 app. this is what you need to do. Go to Settings > Support > Click on “Download log” place a filename and choose a destination drive to save the log file. Next click on “Report” it will take you to Lian Li Tech Support FAQ. Fill up the form and upload the log which is a zip file.
Thanks! This has been very helpful.

Tried updating the chipset drivers. Still not showing up in Device Manager. It only shows up if I plug it into a usb port at the back. Is it due to faulty usb headers on my motherboard?
Hi Ivan, welcome to my channel. which motherboard are you using? you might want to check your motherboard bios to see if there are any issues with USB connection.
@@KleoYan MSI Mag B550M Mortar Max WIFI. This is a new board which I bought just a week ago. No issue with L Connect 3 for 10 days. It then suddenly disappeared and no longer appear in Device Manager. I have another USB device connected to another header which coincidentally stopped working 3 days before the strimer disappeared. The strimer is now stuck at rainbow simply because it has been receiving power from the sata connection. Updated the chipset drivers and it did not help. I did the unprecedented thing by switching from the usb header to the usb port at the back and it worked. I've connected everything correctly and tried unplugging and plugging it. Bios is already updated. It can't be both usb headers and usb cables been faulty at the same time isn't it? The source of the problem is the usb connection, not the hub itself. Worst case scenario, I'll cut a hole in my case and let the L Connect hub run through the usb port but I still hope to resolve this situation.

Hi Eric Nguyen, welcome to my channel. I would advise you to remove all your fans from the controller. first thing you need to check is, are your SL fans still in working condition. plug the fan load to the motherboard, this you can leave it daisy chained (max 4 fans) as each fan load is 0.18a. if they work, next is to check to see the argb are working, if you have the argb cable kit for lian li, you should be able to test it but please test one fan at a time as the load is 0.65a, again you can plug to your motherboard to test. if all fans work on both fan load and argb. then you can narrow down that your controller is not working.
for extreme case, fill up a RMA form from lian li website and to have your unit replace.

@@KleoYan I figured it out, I had to go onto the website and download a fix specifically for my issue not the fix mentioned in the video
@@Austensales1 nice.. so sorry that I am not able to fix the issue for you.. glad you found a solution.
i tried everything to make it work but my argb its stuck in rainbow and the speed of the fans its stuck too
Hi Carlos Torress, welcome to my channel, mind if I ask which uni fans have gotten and which version of L-Connect app have you installed?
@@KleoYan the uni fans sl140 white and L-connect 3
@@KleoYan i think this ones are the first versions because they dont have the serial number
@@Asusmaker Hi, I would advise you on the following
Lets start off with this first
Motherboard & OS
===============
1) Is your mobo bios up-to-date and is the chipset drivers up-to-date?
2) In Windows 10/11, in device manager, do you see the uni control under Universal Serial Bus Devices?
if you do not see that under device manager, shut down your PC and remove the PSU power cable from your outlet, let is sit for 45 seconds (this is to clear the cache memory on your motherboard) while waiting for the 45 seconds, double check your USB cable that is connected between your motherboard and to the uni controller. once done, plug back your PSU, power up your PC, now see and to make sure you do see the uni controller in device manager under Universal Serial Bus Devices.
If it does, launch L-Connect 3. you will first need to ensure that there are reading on the CPU and GPU in the dashboard, run some benchmark test and make sure the temperature reacts. If it does but you still can't control your fans, be it argb or fan rpms. do this
1) Remove all argb apps (Asus Armory Crate / MSI Dragon Center / Giga Fusion / Asrock Polychrome). If the brands which I have mentioned, do have a uninstall tool like the Asus Armory Crate, use that, else use Revo uninstaller ( www.revouninstaller.com/ ). Revo uninstaller will remove all unwanted files / folder / registry in your system. Illustration to use revo uninstaller ruclips.net/video/uMgUYiakpxM/видео.html
2) Do a manual firmware and follow this guide lian-li.com/l-connect3/L3_update_manually/
3) once firmare is done, reinstall L-Connect 3 lian-li.com/L3-changelog/ and try it again.
I would also advise you to view this video for in-depth understanding of how L-Connect 3 works. ruclips.net/video/CgvuUFeff8U/видео.html
@@KleoYan yeah i do that but it doesnt work at all
So i need to download the chipset for intel for l connect to control my rgb and rpm? freshly installed and updated everything but nothing can be controlled
Hi Skylar, welcome to my channel, I think you are using the L-connect 3, if that's the case, you might need to do a firmware update. kindly check with version of L-Connect application you are using. if it's L-Connect 3. kinldy refer to this video. ruclips.net/video/CgvuUFeff8U/видео.html
@@KleoYan watched that video following along, and still having the same issues unfortunately
@@Realrayt hmm.. may I ask about your setup. which uni fans are you using and which motherboard too. are there any other argb program used? thank you!
@@KleoYan icue is the only other software I have that’s super heavy rgb oriented due to my cpu aio being a h150i elite capellix, motherboard is a msi z490 a-pro, fans are the Sl120 uni (5 pack from Amazon)
@@Realrayt I see, ok, this is going to be painful, do you mind to try uninstall all argb applications in your system. which are the icue and l-connect 3. try these steps to see if your L-Connect 3 is able to run. I have a feeling that the IRQ is lock by your Icue which is preventing the L-Connect 3 app to work. please do this if you feel is comfortable as I am just trying to help you out. no guarantee that it will work. if you do get your L-Connect 3 to work. then install your iCue.
1) Make sure your motherboard bios is up to date, please check on your motherboard manufacture website, under support > bios and drivers. See if there are issues with USB and do they have a fix. If there are, kindly update those bios firmware version.
2) Make sure your chipset driver for your motherboard is up to date! For AMD will be at www.amd.com/en/support for Intel will be Intel Driver & Support Assistant Intel DSA www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html
3) Remove all argb apps (Asus Armory Crate / MSI Dragon Center / Giga Fusion / Asrock Polychrome). If the brands which I have mentioned, do have a uninstall tool like the Asus Armory Crate, use that, else use Revo uninstaller ( www.revouninstaller.com/ ). Revo uninstaller will remove all unwanted files / folder / registry in your system. Illustration to use revo uninstaller ruclips.net/video/uMgUYiakpxM/видео.html
4) Shutdown your PC, unplug the PSU cable from your AC outlet. Press the power switch twice to discharge all current that your motherboard is holding. Leave it for 45 second
5) While waiting, please do not use KVM switches. Disconnect all devices that are connected to your motherboard (front / back IO). Leave only your Keyboard, Mouse , Monitor and Ethernet (If you have) connected directly to your motherboard.
If your monitor has a KVM build-in, remove the USB cable from your monitor to your motherboard USB socket. If your mouse and keyboard are connected to your monitor, please remove them and plug them directly to your motherboard instead.
6) Plug only one Uni controller or Strimer Plus V2 controller. If its for Uni Fan (SL/AL) use only 3 fans to an output of the uni controller.
7) Plug the power cable and turn on your PC
8) Go to your Device Manager, look under Universal Serial Bus Devices, make sure you see the Lian Li uni / strimer plus V2 controller.
9) Install the L-Connect 3 app only lian-li.com/l-connect3/ (current version 1.3.16)
10) After installation, run L-Connect 3, check under Setting > General > make sure Auto-Run on Boot and Minimized L-Connect 3 to system tray at close are ON.
11) Reboot your system.
12) First thing you need, go to device manager and see if the Lian Li controller is listed, next open up the L-Connect 3 app. Check if there is a need to update firmware to your controller. Go to Settings > Update, under Device F/W version, click on Update Check, download and install the firmware. Make sure the firmware is completed. Do a check on device manager and make sure the Lian Li controller is listed.
13) On L-Connect 3 dashboard, check if the CPU and GPU readings are reacting, you might want to test it using some benchmark programs. If there are reaction, play with the PWM and argb functions. If it does not work, skip step 14) and proceed step 16)
14) If Single controller works, shutdown your pc, connect uni fan set of 3 to your output of your uni controller. Do it small steps at a time to hook up your sets of fans. do not do all in one go. If successful and you have a second controller, proceed small step at a time again.
15) Slowly plug back your USB devices (Headset, Microphone, Printer, USB Capture Card and etc). At any point of time as you add those devices one at a time, if L-Connect 3 become unresponsive. This tells you that there power is insufficient to power up more USB Devices. Whatever USB port on your motherboard, there is a limitation as the current are shared across the board, be it front or back I/O and the internal USB Header. You might need to get a Internal USB Hub that comes with a Sata Power source to the Internal USB Hub. (Disclaimer, buying a internal usb hub might or might not resolve this issue, purchase at your own expenses)
16) If it does not work, report your issues to Lian li Tech Support. There is a in build log ticketing system in L-Connect 3 app. this is what you need to do. Go to Settings > Support > Click on “Download log” place a filename and choose a destination drive to save the log file. Next click on “Report” it will take you to Lian Li Tech Support FAQ. Fill up the form and upload the log which is a zip file.
i have 6 of these fans and they work (fans run but only gives rainbow color) but none of them respond when i try to use the L connect software to change color. I set them to PWM mode in Bios but still no luck for adjusting the fan curve
Hmm which motherboard are you using? If it’s MSI. One of my viewer drop the dragon application and just run L connect. It works for him but there is another having this issue and yet unable to resolve.
@@KleoYan thanks for reply! I have a x570 Tomahawk wifi (MSI). I tried unstalling Dragon Center, but it still doesnt work. The RGB connector from my Lian Li controller is currently connected to Rainbow1 on my Motherboard. Should i try to unconnect the RGB connector from Rainbow 1 and only run the controller from the Lian Li controller? Lian li fan controller is currently connected to CPU FAN 4 on the Motherboard. I really appreciate your help!
@@GamboTheGent yup disconnect it to see if you can take control over the argb effects. If it does. I have another suggestion, leave the argb controll by your uni controller. And plug ur daisy chain SL fans to the motherboard header to controll the fans RPM. Do not worry 4 x fans. The fan load is 0.72a which most motherboard fan header support up to 1A. The only worry is about argb load. Cos 4 x SL fans, the argb load is at 2.6a which some old mobo support up to 2a. So just remember. Unplug that argb and pwm cable from your uni fan to the motherboard. Leave argb of your SL fans on uni fan controller. Plug only the SL daisy chained fan connector to the motherboard fan header directly. Hope am not confusing you.
@@KleoYan i think i understand, i will try it now
still same issue. will try to reinstall software as administrator and make L Connect boot on startup.
