- This is an unboxing and review of the @LIANLIHQ SL120 Infinity fans, a nice upgrade to the current line-up of Uni fans from Lian Li that essentially mixes in the best parts of Lian Li's SL120 and AL120 fans and throws in infinity mirrors for extra visual appeal.

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

can the center rgb around the fan blade be turned off?
Man this page is top notch. I swear everything I look up to see reviews on or learn you have done it. Love the channel man.
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!
I have the older ones & they look so nice in person especialy in a lian li case I had no idea. You cannot tell I have glass on my PC at night. These must look amazing in person
These are so cool, the center hub infinity mirror, and the fact that the blade and frames can be controlled separately to do different patterns at same time is awesome. I will be trying these out in next build but hope the new plugs and controllers are not a pain
So expensive thooo 😭
@@_Bugz1x_ yeah ikr
@@bikedoc4145 just got them and super easy to install and no issues. You can spend a lot of time messing about with all the different colour configuration 😆
@@MakN. awesome, going to grab 6 for mine asap 👍
@@bikedoc4145 enjoy them bro, best fans out there..
Very helpful. I will be using 10 of these infinity fans in the new build I have going. Thanks for the help.
Good luck Tom. Hope you enjoyed enough to sub
Next build, for sure. Recently had to jettison an al120 from my build because it was far outnumbered by corsairs. Excellent fan though and looks awesome. These look even better.
The customization is insane
I'm building my new PC today, 1st one ever, and wasn't going to have RGB fans but now thinking I will have some. These look good.
New subscriber … That quality of video is amazing keep up the good work
Thank you. I appreciate it. And I will 😎
Lian Li knocked it out of the park with the Infinity series, my only gripe is there's no 140's...YET! ;) Great review!
There is now! I just ordered 4 of them.
Can't wait for purchase it in Norway!
Before I saw Corsair's current cases, Lian-Li were my go-to for mATX cases. I still have my PC-V352 as a living room PC and my PC-V353 went into storage earlier this year; both cases lasted me well over 10 years and they're absolutely top-quality. Before them I was using the old Shuttle XPCs which were interesting, but when I was still living with parents I didn't have much room nor could I afford to upgrade graphics cards frequently so they did the job.
It's great to see Lian-Li getting more mainstream recognition. Nice one, those fans are magnificent. :D
Loved the vid prawn
Thanks Norman
Thanks this was super helpful
just bought 10 of the normal SL120s these defo look better just because of the RGB fan but not worth the extra money for me right now. I'm more than happy with the older ones i think
Ugh, it was not mentioned in the unboxing, but it does come with screen protectors for the infinity mirrors on the sides of the fans, I recommend installing those before installing into pc, thus you can touch the sides without running the risk of scratches. Cheers.
This was very informative. Thank you very much.
I am planning a very similar setup and have a quick question:
I'll have 3x3 fans + 1 single fan just like in your example. To control the lighting of the single fan, is it possible to connect it only once to the Lighting Node to program its color and then unplug and connect it to the motherboard and it will remember the color? I want my single fan to just have a static white, nothing more.
Thank you
that infinity mirror wiggle does my head in tho haha
being owner of the SL120 hope the reliability has been improved, I've had 3 SL120 in the past year that started to rattle , bearings gone on the positive Lian Li excellent dealing with replacements
my bearings are fine but my LED died in one fan.
An AL120 died on mine after 3 mo.
Yep... My build was done in March-April timeframe and one of my SL120s had a bearing go bad today while I was on the phone. Started squealing, and when it isn't doing that there's a pretty serious amount of vibration and noise.
@@Thex7phenom I think they have a reliability problem. Sucks.
@@Thex7phenom do recording of it and fill in the RMA form on the Lian li site they will send replacement..
They sent the new batch of sl120 the led lighting is a bit different the whites it's little annoying and the way the lighting diffuses
The voice of a superhero 😃
Thanks for the video, I was trying to figure how if I needed to buy multiple 3 packs or if I just needed 1 3 pack and the rest singles. It looks like if I want 10 fans, 3 groups of 3 and a single fan for rear exhaust I can buy one 3 pack and 7 singles and be able to connect them all up to the controller. :)
ruclips.net/video/W_ApiN_Wueg/видео.html
Currently own the SL120 was just wondering how would you connect the infinity to an AIO that has 4 pin fan header so can use AIO software for fan curves , I currently have 3x SL120 on the radiator connected on the 4 pin Z73 AIO fan header and use NZXT Cam to set fan curves for them, I see the single pack SL Infinity has connector to use standered 4 pin what about for the LED it doesnt go into the Lian Li hub and has to go into motherboard ARGB, would prefer it to go into the Lian Li hub
Thank you for this very informative video. I have a question: if you want to use another source for both PWM and RGB control - like through the motherboard headers of maybe a Corsair Commander PRO (with RGB adapter cables) - does the control box stil have to be connected with an USB cable to the motherboard? Meaning, do you still need the L-Connect software to configure the control box in "pass through" mode for PWM and RGB or will it default to using the external sources for PWM and RGB if those are present and sending a signal?
Hoping he sees this, I have the same question. If I get these, I want to control the PWM and RGB with an Aquacomputer Octo and Farbwerk 360 respectively. Ideally I wouldn't have to use L-Connect at all and just control everything through Aquasuite instead
Which way does the air flow. I didn't see any arrows on the housing
Today i bought this"" gold " 3pack black😍
i'm a bit confused on the controller. I have 3 other aRGB items that are not fans. Is there anyway to run them through the controller and software as well? (gpu block, cpu block and distro plate)
is possible to just disable the middle rgb of fan? to be look like the uni fan? the old one was awesome... but sometimes have more rgb could be great too! :)
SignalRGB is an option once supported.
Has anyone had issues with PWM fan curves ? I read a review complaining they don't work correctly with other software. I'm going to run 3 inlet, 1 exhaust and 3 roof radiator outlets with AIO, fan curves will be set up in asus reading CPU and GPU values.
The actual fan 120mm or are they small like previous smaller fan?
This fan and EK-Vardar EVO 120ER D-RGB, which is better?
I really Hope they do 140's
Does the Galahad with non-Uni fans work with the fan controller? If not, what's a solution to this?
can we combine the sl120 infinity fan with sl120 controller?
is it possible for me to choose a white color around the fan and put red in the middle?
Can u hook these lights on a kraken z73 and have them work right with the aio even with these new connectors and not the 4 pin
I am wondering how the fans connected to the radiator work as they are not connected to the cpu fan header. How would you connect the fans on the radiator to the cpu so the fans on the radiator speed up when the cpu temperature rises. I also thought that the system wont boot if there is no cpu fan detected. sorry if i sound dumb i have only ever done air cooler builds before.
I just ordered these fans, I want to know if I can have them as exhaust on my cooler so it looks better and I'm adding 2 extra fans so I can make them intakes will this be ok?
Will Lian Li Strimer works with this new control box?
If I wanna use L connect for the fans and strimers what software is okay to use for the motherboard lighting and other accesories? Ive read problems with asus sync being installed same time as well as others what are you using here for the ram and watercooler lights?
I have the o11 dynamic evo case and have 10 fans in total of the uni fan sl inf. I have 3 for intake on the bottom, 3 intake on the side, 1 exhaust on another side and 3 on top with my aio as exhaust. This is my first pc build and the top 3 exhaust and 3 intake at the bottom will not turn on so no rgb and no spinning. I have checked every cable and tried going on l connect 3 but it briefly said that the fans will only turn on after the cpu reaches 50 degrees so can anyone help me?
Hello. I am looking to build a pc with the these fans. I really want to use a Corair icue H150i Elite. I've been searching online but can't find an answer to this question. With the controller that comes with a 3 pack of these Lian Li fans support said AIO? Meaning, can I connect the Corsair AIO to the Lian Li controller?
hi bro, liquid cooling does not come with that type of fan?
Soo how can I plug the AIO fans into the 3 pack hub with the new connector?
Just ordered 12 of these see how they are in comparison yo my ql fans
hello dear friends, are those Lian Li Fans as bright as Corsair QL120?
What if i want o put them on my radiator? Its gotta be 4 pin so i can put it in the Cpu_Fan. What can i do?? :)
Only side light can be turned without turning on fan light please reply
The best looking fans are the corsair QL, thermaltake Riiing Quad and the cooler master prismatic :v those lian li are awesome but 😁 I like the QL from corsair
lian li really need to come out with some fans that pull from back to front for that back wall in the o-11 dynamic
we are missing out on the infitiy mirrors by the people that made both the case and the fans i dont wanna mount in the front because it ruins the look of the case imo
for this lian i fan setup is it necessay our motherboard shoud have rgb/argb header or controller will handle everything? since my motherboard does not have any rgb header
Which fan is better in look Corsair ql vs Lian Li infinity
hi can i use the same controller for Lian Li Uni SL Infinity Fan and LIAN LI UNI FAN TL LCD
I am thinking to get H9 elite case which will have 4 inbuilt nzxt fans which i dont want to drop... and it will have one controller in it with case,,, if i want to use these 1set of lian li fans ,will the mixture look good ,,, can we use nzxt controller with lian li fans or viceversa
Hey mate with lian li infinity fans if so tryna figure out if it would be compatible with the king 95 pro case in this configuration the 4 front fans would be 140mm reverse blade fans (so intake) the bottom 3 fans would be 120mm reverse blade fans (so intake) the top 3 120mm fans on the aio would be exhaust then the one on the back of the case is a exhaust curious if they could use the built in fan hub on the case or all would work with the included lian li fan hub in the 3 pack thanks heaps for letting me know
I think I like the back of the AL120s more. The straight X looks better than the swirly X to me.
Is anyone here using like a founders 3070 with lian li strimers? I’m building my new pc within the week and I have a 3070 card and I’m buying the strimer plus cable. Is there anyway to make it look nice. Atm I’m thinking of buying a 12 pin to dual a pin cable so I can connect the strimer plus to the 3070 FE. Thanks, also I’m definitely getting these fans, I was stuck picking a fan and when I saw these it was perfect
Where are the sync cables? Are they included in the box?
Does the fans (3 pack) come with a Lian li fan controller hub for the back?
The back fan can be daisy-chained to the top ones, and have those 4 as a group, and have 3 connections to the controller
Can you daisy chain it with the included cords that come with for example, if I buy a triple pack of 120 and a single 140 I can daisy chain the 140 to the group of three 120 fans and use the plug into the controller to power all four?
hi can i get usb cable as my son put it down the tolite
They are super nice but i wish the inifinity mirro was on the other side of the fan.
My only gripe as well
Why l connect not showing device…. I try to manual update but not showing device too
Do these turn yellow overtime?
So the single fan comes with that split cable. Wouldn’t you be able to plug one end to rgb lian li controller and the other end to mb fan header? Si st least rgb still controlled with application
ruclips.net/video/0wPi_zNzKF4/видео.html
Hi. Do you know how can I connect single fans to the controller box? The 7-pin cable it's not included.
ruclips.net/video/W_ApiN_Wueg/видео.html
I have a Galahad AIO 360 for the roof of my PC Build, planning on getting 3 infinity’s for the front. Will they both sync up RGB wise through that controller?
Yes
its possible to avoid the lian li control box? and conect 3 fans with 1 cable?
Yes. I showed how in the wiring video. And the rear one in this video is done that way
Does Lian li have a aio that comes with infinity fans? I plan to build in the o11 dynamic case with all infinity fans and a 360mm aio.
Not that I know of. But you could buy them and replace the standard fans on any 360mm radiator.
Thanks man, If i have more than 1 control box. Do i need to connect both of them to both usb ports on the motherboard or how do you connect 2 control boxes
Yes. You can use something like this ruclips.net/video/d8vELbWWaCQ/видео.html
Do these work with rgb fusion 2.0?
So I just bought myself 2 packs of 3. My question becomes will they work as both intake and exhaust depending on how you set them? Or are they intake only and I have to buy something different for my exhaust? Sorry for the ignorance, I’m still new to all this
Yes, it depends on the direction you face them. The side with the infinity mirror is where air is pulled from, so if you set that facing outside your case then that's intake and if it faces inside then that's exhaust
When mirror side of the fan facing you like on the top of the tower in this video that means the air goes OUT or IN ?? and those fans on the front and on the bottom having logo on them are IN ?
Yes. Unless you have reverse blade versions of these fans, then it's the other way.
If you order a triple pack, are you able you use a single fan as a rear exhaust? Or do they have to be Daisy chained?
ruclips.net/video/W_ApiN_Wueg/видео.html
so can a single fan be connected directly to the motherboard headers? or does this require that proprietary hub? I'm trying to find an RGB fan that can connect right to the mobo headers and can be programmed via the bios
ruclips.net/video/W_ApiN_Wueg/видео.html
wow just when i built my pc with regular sl 120 fans.
So if I buy 3 single pack fans I can’t connect them too the controller?
If you've got a triple pack you'll have the cables you need.
Which way is intake?
Each fan comes with a set of decals for the side mirrors. I can't find any documentation about their purpose. Are they needed?
They’re screen protectors for the side mirrors since those and incredibly easy to scratch
How well do these/the new controller work with SignalRGB? The SL120s and controller had limitations / performance issues which SignalRGB claimed was a problem on the Lian Li. Hoping this has been resolved with theses.
apparently still runs on low fps, i guess lian li's controllers really are that bad
@@haroldmolina21 thx for the update. I didtched L-connect and the controller weeks ago in favour of Corsair controllers and iCue (and a little hack-and-splice injinuity). Haven't looked back!
@@tworocksandapebble I just got the infinity fans, but L-connect 3 is a dumpster fire. How did you you set them up with Corsair’s controller? I’m trying to find something to control fan speeds and rgb.
Hi, I would like to ask something . I have the mother board asus tuf gaming x570-plus (wifi) atx am4 motherboard but it only has a +5v D and it is used for the cooler. what can I do ?
You'll just have to control them via USB and the Lian Li L Connect software
These look amazing. Though I'm not sure if it is worth it to spend £300 to upgrade my already really pretty al120s especially considering these new ones actually perform worse by a little bit.
AL120 👎
Could I use my old SL120s and these ones at the same time?
You'd need a different controller, so it would probably get messy.
how would i get that final fan in the back to work with the others?
ruclips.net/video/W_ApiN_Wueg/видео.html
We’re did you get the white power cords and what are they called
It's a mix of Corsair's premium power cables and Lian Li's Strimers
I already have fans that are already infinity mirrors in the hub and I think the first SL120 unifans look better than these. I would get those instead of these lol
Can you run sl 120 infinity on the bottom and Al 120 fans on side ?
Theoretically yes, but you'd need two different controllers
do you also install these fans on the aio liquid cpu coolor as well?
ruclips.net/video/Mm85qMEYlDI/видео.html
My fans center mirror reflection is shaky is it normal ? I just bought them
It's not normal. Lian Li says you can request an RMA
Does it come with screws if not what mind of screw I need
Yes, screws are included.
the only problem with the white fans is they have a black circle in the middle so that will be a deal breaker for me i need all white inly acception is silver
Any idea if a 140mm version is in the works?
Probably wont be till late 2023 because they still havent came out with the 140mm al’s unless they are just gonna be focusing on the sl infinity fans now
I have these fans with a asus z690 formula but i cant get the controller to recognize the fans, what am i doing wrong?
Assuming you've connected everything up correctly, have you got the latest version of L-Connect installed? L-Connect 3? There are also troubleshooting guides on the site I believe lian-li.com/l-connect3/
Thank you so much it works now, it was the software.
Is there any way to reverse the air flow direction on these fans? I want air to come in from the bottom of the case and the side of the case, both are in prime view when using the glass Lian Li Evo case. Only problem is, you'll get a cracking view of the REAR of the fan and the infinity mirror is therefore wasted.
Only way would be to reverse the motor. But that’s risky with rgb
No. The fan fins are designed in a special way so that they operate their best one way
I feel like this is a bad flaw in the design and they definitely should have infinity mirrors on both sides. Putting it only on the intake side means it’s not visible in most configurations and pretty much always only half visible best case scenario. Oh well, still cool looking.
Is there anyone in the UK that's bought multiple triple packs and has a spare controller and cables?
I could only get 9 singles and have them all plugged into the mobo but it would be nice to buy a controller and surely loads of people of spare ones they don't need? I can't find any on eBay
Wait I thought that the controller can control up to 16 fans and you only have 10 so why would you need another controller for the rear fan to plug into instead of direct to the MB ARGB header?
AlsoI am still confused as to what the splitter cable is actually for, is it if you wa to plug in a set of 3 fans and a single fan for a total of 4 fans into one connector on the lconnet control box?
is there a way to plug like 13 fans without using 2 hubs ? (1 3 3 3 3)
and controlling all of them without the motherboard only from software (question works for SL120 too not infinity pls)
Can these fans be used individually without a fan controller? I bought 2 individual fans, plugged them in, and they don't work at all.
ruclips.net/video/W_ApiN_Wueg/видео.html
@@TheProvokedPrawn Thank you so much!!!
Are these compatible with razer synapse like their predecessors
I'm afraid I don't know. Is that for syncing?
i want to wait for the black ones B)
