Glad you guys are liking the TL LCD fans so far! We've already fixed the logo orientation issue via FW update and will be fixing other minor bugs shortly!
Great looking fans. Well done, once again.
Please keep being this interactive.
The next evolution of this would be to add LEDs inside the fan blades themselves to turn the whole fan in a "screen" of sorts.
Is the tl120 compatible with the sl120s?
Will there be a version of the TL that uses the Infinity mirror in the center/motor from the SL series in the future?
Honestly $50 a fan for that seems super reasonable. And since so many cases have the 2 or 3 fan combo down the side of the case where the fan hub is facing you, I can see those sensors being super useful. So I gotta say for these, I am for one.......a fan
I was thinking the same its only an extra $20 over the regular lian li fans. This is such a cool idea and id love to cop one and put it in the back exhaust on my y60.
Great joke
@user-cd7gb1lc3j what are you a lian li hater?
One more patent for Lian Li I bet lol. They are killing it with new fan-connection innovations
Corsair already has fans with screens...
@@FaySmash they dont
Yeah... No... @@FaySmash
Some mf gonna bite off them
A screen that does absolutely nothing but makes the product cost a lot more. Just leave the screens off. Pass on all the worthless RGB that does absolutely nothing and now the screens. It's honestly insane that this has become normal. Smh
These are really cool imo, and if those prices hold true it's really a decent price for an enthusiast fan. I'd like to see Lian-Li work a little harder to improve interconnect with their previous gen fans, but if you're going to embrace RGB this is a great way to go about it.
I hope they are cool they are fans after all 😂😂😂😂😂
@@ericspecullaas2841that's actually a very good point.
There was a time, not too far back, when lighta/Led fans emitted so much heat that it was pointless to have Led fans in chassis with the side panels on. It was nuts. And this was post DDR2 (iirc) , right around when DDR4 was hot sht.

Also, because of Molex,, made for far less than pretty cable management waay back in the damn. And chassis back then., Holy fudge.
This is a cool concept, especially for someone like myself who likes the screens to display data. I agree though I’m not the biggest fan of the infinity mirrors on the side, I would like to see them come out with an “SL” style. Also like someone else mentioned, it would only be ideal for fans that you can see clearly - there’s always the desire for uniformity but having fans with screens that are not even visible to you would be a bit of a waste of money. Still, I’m glad these are out and am excited to see what they come out with in the inevitable V2
What else do you want Lian Li to do with the sides of the fan? An LED matrix display? That'd be nice for some top-mounted fans to show a graph or write silly messages on, but I wouldn't imagine they could combine this with LED fans in a way which is practical except for people who do the standing desk thing every so often.
I agree, this is pretty much useless, unless on the back panel vent or on the rear exhaust. most cases have a mesh front end that will distort the view. Do you have to buy double of these for push pull rad cooling? are any of the earlier models the same flow spec? they need a non lcd version too. something you could mix and match. 3 fans one could have the lcd and still work with a non lcd version for example. They look well made , and nice to look at even with the lcd off. I pretty much only use lian-li fans because they last.
@@xenodraken377 This was made to go with their O11 Dynamic, _guaranteed._ The game plan for these is to have the fans at the side intake. _That's it._ And maybe one in the rear panel. But _that's it_ for practical application.
Glad to see more manufacturers doing reverse blade fans... No clue why it took them so long!
Omg. I know, right! I thought it was a no brainet once fans started becoming a bling thing. Haha
Not sure who started it, but the first one I saw was Cooler Master's reverse SickleFlow fan back in January 2021
TBF the reverse blades are sometime way less efficient, (which is generally great because modern cases have way more intake fans than exhuast and balance is key) but back then until we started putting all kinds of crazy effects on them, a plastic square looked like a plastic square from both sides. It didn't make much sense to have a reverse fan for such minor improvements whereas here the only reason and LCD fan can exist is probably because of reverse fans.
@@xXEPIKgamerXx To also be fair, "reverse" in this case is just flipping the cosmetics...I wish you could do this more often because some cases you have to have a 360 rad, and sometimes that can only go on the front panel... (wish I had gone 5800 x3d over intel 13th gen because of this, 13700k is a thirsty b****)
@@xXEPIKgamerXx Why would they be less efficient? It's just reversed to place it in the right orientation.
This is pretty neat, I'd definitely wait until they got the bugs worked out, but after that I might be interested in getting a set for my next build. Having 3 easy to see sensors, and not having to pull up Task Master or another application to see your temps is pretty neat.
if you game you have msi afterburner or aomething similar its useless just a gimmick to sell to stupid people just like rgb
You can already do that with software. You can have your CPU and GPU usage and temps display on your taskbar.
@@FieryMeltman I know, but as you saw in the review, there are still some bugs with colors and the palette is pretty small for now. But it's most likely just a matter of time.
Its 100% a super over priced gimmicky thing but its awesome! I love the flashy bells and whistles because you can truly customize your build to reflect your tastes. Lian Li continues to show innovation and I suspect all their product lines will improve year over year. For the first gen i think they hit a home run here. Screens and panels are going to trend for a long time as we hunger for information. You had me belly laughing with the crew vids on the screens! Great video!
Besides, they should 100% release another pair of models that's exactly the same except with a normal hub for maybe $10 less a fan. In my O11D, for example, I don't really care enough to have a screen on my bottom intake/top exhaust, but the side intake having screens on the hubs make for a super cool sensor panel
@@MaavBR They have... The TL fans are these but without the LCD, and they actually have better performance too (almost P28 levels if their website is to be believed). They've also made them in 120mm and 140mm and both sizes have reverse flow options... they've gone all in on these (the TL LCD's iirc have less performance, alot less... might be a voltage and current issue due to having the screens on them).
Looks dope, price point will hurt though comparatively. That still won't stop me ordering them though lmao

I will almost certainly be picking up a 3 pack of these, though to go into my computer. Love the gages on the fan hubs idea.
Putting pointless screens on stuff is innovation?
@@gazpitchy It's definitely more innovation that whatever everyone else is doing. Lian Li now has the right momentum, so I'm sure we'll see other things soon :)
@@DroopyPenguin95 Lian Li doesn't have any momentum. That's why they gotta start all those lawsuits. They're scared.
They have one of the best selling cases and there fans are some of the best selling wtf you on about @@arabiancandybar
I have so many ideas for a build using those fans. IMO they're great for a different approach to having a sensor bar, with the right case and set up you could have a very interesting set up.
Notwithstanding the hardwired cables in the hub, I'm okay with the pricing. These fans are made for a certain tier of buyer. Just like a Murciélago is made for a certain tier of customer. If one is complaining about the price, one probably couldn't afford it in the first place. Also, I'd definitely be using the screens as system monitors. Now for a few 'like-to-haves'.
1. Removal of the silkscreened company logo on the hub. It's not needed because the moment one sees the product, one knows it's Lian-Li on looks alone.
2. Have the option to have live video feed capture to the screens. Nice to have for security cam monitoring, video podcasts, etc.
3. Directional fan control through either software or a physical switch. No matter what orientation I have the fans, I could control if the fans or in-/outtake.
4. A more elegant mounting solution for the the hub. It could be secured by the hard drive brackets, magnets, or both.
Conclusion: I think Lian-Li has done a bang up job on these fans with only a few missteps. I'd definitely have these in my case.
I thought about following your build guide to put in a little screen on my PC, which also requires that I purchase Aida64. This is a much easier solution, and gives me pretty much exactly what I would have used that screen for.
At 4:30 and I can tell ya right now I LIKE these fans. A must have for my new build. Thanks for the review ....
they are available in 120mm and 140mm, nice! I think companies should do more 140mm fans now for cases and radiators.
God, trying to find 140 cases is a nightmare. But then you wouldn't be buying as many fans (considering 140 tends to be better per dollar)
I would love to have this version of the fans minus the LCD screens. The RGB on these and the fan's new design are just so modern and sleek looking!
as a lian li user i can appreciate their effort. everyone seems to hate their L connect 3 software though. personaly i find it to be great.
It would be if you actually got any help from their support with the bugs in the software. I get an error messeage every time i turn the system on, and the fans barely spin until i cklick ok. If it doesn't show and i forget it, my system melts... It needs a restart to show up many times. Terrible.
I love my Lian Li SL 120 INF fans and im glad the kid at microcenter steered me in this direction over corsair fans that I was deadset on. This was a couple years ago. They are amazing.
I dont know if Id have a need for LCD screens though but they look cool and im sure theyre of good quality!
I think it's something very good, I really wanted an LCD screen to see the CPU temperature. The simplest option until now was to buy an aio, which costs at least $200. It's expensive considering the fact that most of them already have one, if what I'm saying makes sense. So a screen for $45 or something like that is welcome. It's great that they also have a version with normal blades.
Corsair nexus. Idk if they are still on sale but it's a really nice touch panel that let's u see all ur temps plus u can do a ton of other stuff with it. I paid $50 for mine but msrp is like $100 but again it may still be on sale.
Why not just buy a small screen and hook it up inside the case???
Not to mention Aio suck. Especially corsair trash....
@@ElRabito this isn't even remotely true.
@@lilpain1997 it is. Plenty of videos out there. Just buy a noctua fan, will outlast any Aio by 5 years....
That is sweet looking!! Lian Li definitely makes the best looking fans on the market right now imo. I recently built arguably the best looking PC I've ever put together, filled to the brim with SL-Infinity 120 fans. Gonna have to sell it off and re-build after a move across the pond later this year, I might just pick some of these up for the updated build. Can't wait to put some animated logos in there! Super cool way to display temps and component usage too.
While this is a sick idea, the only fan you really will see is the single exhaust fan. Maybe this would be cool in a lian li case with the fans next to the motherboard, but what I think the coolest item to have this set up is the GPU fans. Imagine having this with a vertically mounted GPU. Would absolutely make the set up look super sick and you can clearly see it as its the closest item to the tempered glass.
That was my thought exactly. While watching this video I kept looking at my rig that has a vertical 3080 and thought how cool it would be with screens on my gpu fan hubs.
I guess if you have one of the newer style cases, like a hyte y60 for example, these would work really well. But yeah, for a conventional case at least, not so great.
Agreed, Looking at my case also, "Lian LI Lancool 2 Mesh", the exhaust fan is the only one you would see. I also think, fans is now getting to the point were the price is getting to high. A fan is there for one job, to move air not to watch repeats of friends.
I'm sure they had the 011 Dynamic in mind when they designed these fans. You'd have 3 fans facing you on the front of the case.
while i agree with you for most cases, people have to remember not every product is intended for every consumer. if you only have an exhaust fan facing you, you are not their target. also another thing to keep in mind is that they made the fans next to the mobo popular with their O11 case and now almost every new case is like that.
Thanks for this Jay this is awesome!
Building a new system shortly with EKWB custom cooling and been looking for a LCD CPU/GPU temperature display like the AIO Water Coolers have, this will do the job brilliantly!
Good on Lian Li for continuously innovating and doing things differently!
My husband and I both have O11 Evo builds, mine is white and his is black. I’m 100% gonna surprise him with a 3 pack of these and some infinity fans. He’s got the SLs right now and I’ve been wanting to get him an upgrade. I think 3 of the reverse ones vertical in the middle, upright slots showing the sensors would be great.
The best part of these is the reverse blades! I’ve been dying for this for years now. That alone, is enough to make me buy them.
enough companies are making reverse fans for at least a year now. maybe you haven't discovered them.
You can get reverse blades for cheap, I can't find a way to justify buying overpriced case fans when they run at low RPM anyway.
Most of the reverse blades ive seen so far are prtty much all 120 atleast any with rgb not many good options in the 140s...unless u guys can point me in the right direction
@@denzel8218gaming thermaltake started the reverse fan trend last year, soon after Corsair followed i think, just google reverse fan 120 or 140 and you'll find many fans worth checking out.
Its not just that they are reverse blade, it also that their Uni-lock, come in multiple sizes, ergonomic, amazing visually, easy to use, and the specs compete 1:1 if not out perform cheap basic fans in some areas.
Even then if you want to have your cake and eat it too, the Performance TLs that also just released have far better Airflow/pressure, but still have all the bells and whistles other than having a basic and uninteresting fanhub.
One style of fan I would love to see incorporated into the case fan world is the Dyson blade-less fans. That would really change the market due to them not needing to be square. Also they have a very minimalistic look and would look super cool with a thin LED ring around the rim of the surround 🙂
Sadly those Dyson fans have a regular fan in the base: they just have no blades at the top where the air comes out and the ring of air pulls additional air along with it. This is why they are called air multipliers, since a lower fan speed can pull more air through, thus multiplying the efficiency. In a PC case, you would still need a bladed fan somewhere and the meshes and dust filters would completely stop the air multipier effect from working 😕
I have an even better idea. Why don't they make a fan where you will be able to select which way the fan spins and choose intake or exhaust without having to take the fan out and turn it around. Imagine the potential on scenarios where you want to experiment what is better exhaust or suction from specific vents on the case. Life saver.
I honestly really love this idea. Why have one singular sensor panel when you can have several tiny sensor panels that require no additional wiring. The price is honestly not that bad when you consider that the Corsair connect fans 3 pack cost the exact same amount and have 0 screens.
Also Jay I really hope you have a video coming covering the new purpose built sensor panel that Phanteks just announced! I think it's a bit overpriced for what it is but still wanna see it in action regardless.
I just bought the GA ll LCD AIO 360, it's awesome. Lian Li is smashing
these are pretty cool IMO, the sensors make sense to if you dont want to add a separate sensor panel. I saw it on Lian Li's IG account, they had a continuous video of Ryu doing his hadouken going through all the screens (wondering how they synced that). thanks for another great video, honestly, i'd buy this and mount it vertically on the back of the NV9
This is a really cool idea. You would not plaster your whole case with those, but if you have a case with fans that face you it it a really neat solution to implement a "sensor panel" into the build without having to do any additional wiring or modding.
My question is - could you chain two normal infinity fans and one LCD fan together and have the same loop effect? Cause I could see that as somewhat mitigation of the price. Also, I hope more and more companies will start doing reverse blades.
No. No other fans can be connected to the LCD fans. Not even the new non-LCD TL version.
You should be able to, I don't see why not, the software can ID each type and sync them.
@@YouSoundButtHurt Why should you? The signal going through the connectors is different. Lian Li have explicitly said this.
SL Fans and TL fans cannot use the same connectors or hubs, and the TL LCD fans cannot be daisy chained with the Performance TLs because of how much more power and date they need, so for now LCDs can only be chained with themselves and cant really mix with V1 INFs without having a lot of separate controllers and cables.
No not daisy chain and even not on same hub
I think these are awesome. Sensor info is what got me sold on them. Priced accordingly too considering what you're getting. I would love to see a Lian Li Vision with these bad boys.
I wonder how the performance is. It looks like the fan blades themselves are much smaller due to the screen. Likely poor airflow
Thanks for this Jay. I bought 6 of the 240 ones on a new build I'm doing.
I was skeptical of Lian Li when I thought he was Chinese, but when I learned he is Taiwanese, I appreciated his new adaptive designs better.
He does have some good ideas for design.
huuuuuuuh
I have a Phanteks case. It's huge.
And I covered both sides of the glass door with clear Security Window Film. To prevent shattering if it ever breaks.
The Security Window Film goes on with water, you squeegee out the bubbles, trim the edges and let dry overnight.
It's made for store and home windows to prevent shattering and theft.
But I love the Phanteks case because it's huge and plenty of airflow.
I use 6 fans I think.
I'll keep these in mind- got the NZXT H6 Flow, so could get 2 of the 140mm for the bottom intakes. And to keep with the more subtle theme (black case, and all ARGB is set to white) I'd probably just populate the screens with CPU and GPU temps. :3c
This fans will not fit in the bottom tray of a H6 flow. The frame of the fans are too beefy. And there is the inf mirror and the plug on the side. Same goes for the side tray for that matter.
@@Audiosan79good to know
I have the NZXT H9. These would be perfect replacement for the side intake fans that came with the case. I have be quiet light wings, bottom intake, and top exhaust. If needed I could turn the argb off (I assume I could) if it's too much for the simple esthetics that I enjoy. Actually those lcd's with the blacked out argb would look really good in in my black H9, with the thin rear argb of the lightwings with a simple warm white.
I like it. I might get one to use as a rear exhaust in my Fractal Torrent. Currently the only exhaust is the power supply fan in the top of the case.
Did we need screens on a fan? Lol
I mean….we didn’t NEED RGB either…😂😂😂 I’m here for all the bs tech! 😅
We didn't need RGB either so what 😂
Use to be $30 was expensive for a premium fan 2-pack and cases had five (3 in the case and 2-3 for the aio). Then they made cases have 9-15 fan slots and charge $150 for 3 fans costing $500+ to fill out your case. Add screens to the fans means you can charge more… Milking pc enthusiasts for their 401ks.
No. Want? Absolutely
TikTok auto scroller would be the way to go 😂😅
Thx Jay ! Finally i have THE reason to say: naahh, don´t need an AiO to have a Display on my cooler. Damn! ... i guess i will check how good the fans are.
"could" be possible to get them for my RIG.
After trying the Infinity model, I started disliking Lian Li's fans a lot.
Sure, they look really good but you absolutely have to use their controller, I already have enough controllers from EK for the custom loop.
And then you also have to run their software, which uses way too much resources even on a high end rig.
But thanks for showing the new stuff
There's adapters out there for the Infinity fans that you can hook on normal ARGB controller and PWM connectors and then control them with any software like SignalRGB 👍
I'm still sceptical if lcd screen on fans are really worth it, considering the power draw. But the fact that you can display useful information seems pretty cool. I imagine these fans with reversed blades would look pretty sick at the bottom of Phanteks NV7/NV9 to display temps and stuff.
46$ per fan isn't too bad compared to corsairs... I think that Lian Li charging this at 46 isn't such a terrible thing. It gives the opportunity for more cool ideas on builds.
single LL120 is 25-30 $, so it's not really a better value
@@reneljubarskij3214 great comparison, now tell us the price of the QX fans :)
@@DESS71AN i don't see why would anyone compare those? lian li has screens, while QX are a bit cheaper... if you don't need such stuff (pretty much no one does), then you should rather invest into different and cheaper fans, such as LL if you want rgb
@@reneljubarskij3214 bruh u make no sense. You can't compare one brands top tier fans with anothers mid tier
@@DESS71AN it's a fan... but go ahead and pay nearly 50$ for single fan, maybe now you will see my point
I for one thoroughly appreciate you saying "GIF" rather than "JIF". We may technically be wrong but be damned if I care, I like what I like!
Can they run DOOM though?
Asking the real questions!
I think you said it best at 1:50... Those look "fan"-tastic. (surprised we didn't get a chuckle from Phil in the background for that) I'm a fan of having lots of screens, but I also prefer stealth aesthetics over fancy RGB.
The price is less than I expected, Lian Li is always pushing the fan aesthetic. I'm a function over form so these actually add function and form and not just lights. It makes them worth it (again, to me and my building style).
I can’t wait to get one. I just recently finished a build using a Thermaltake Core P3 Snow edition, with an ASRock Sonic mb, to create an amazing Sonic theme.
I used the Lian Li infinity 360 white cooler, with the centers making a decent representation of the rings.
This new fan will bring a whole new dimension to the ring representation, allowing me to create a gig of the rings actually spinning 😮 I can’t wait.
I personally really like these fans, but I also find it funny that companies are just finding an excuse to slap a screen on everything
I used the previous version of the fans and I loved them. They are ez to install with the interlocking mechanism. Only negative is the one connector is raised and, in some cases, do not fit because the space is too tight. Other than that, these fans are fantastic,
Bought a 3 pack of 120mm for my Hyte y70 case. Going to be my 3 intakes in the back im a sucker for new tech. I do think putting 10 in a pc case is overkill but 3 that you can see when you look over quick at your case will give it the extra wow factor. Great video as always 🫡🫡
If they somehow made a Fan that had all these features combined I'd be sold for all times.
Like imagine lighted up, inverse blades with a LCD Hub and the Infinity Mirror Edges (maybe even switch those with LCD's too) and of course the lighting ring all around...
Las Vegas wouldn't even be half as shiny and epilesy causing.
As much as I love Lian-Li for their innovation, it's a budget trap for noobs since it's too popular. I saw someone build a mid range PC but settled w/ the cheapest GPU they could find since the case and fans ate up around $200+. Good thing they asked before actually purchasing the parts.
Also, that outro made me laugh so hard. Great job Phil! :D
This is real innovation and experimentation , cool they provide this new type of connecting fans and variants.
Yes it is a niche product and few people will actually use them but still we have the option .
I would actually want to see 2 non LCD fans and a LCD one connected . You can keep the cost lower and still have a basic sensor panel on the fans
Not a fan of RGB in general (they do make some ambience if done with taste), but having them as a "sensor hub" readily available to my eyes would be nice. Never gonna pay that price though!
I think this is a great idea. Having screens to display different info is very useful. Not to mention that you have tons of options when you get bored with your current display. And the lighting effects are just pretty. I'd say it's worth the price.
In doing a build with multiple fan types from Lian Li, I found setting it up a pain in the A. Note that if you get the LCD fans, you'll need a dedicated LCD controller box. It does not come with single fans, which is a pain when you want 3 reverse fans, and you can't get them in a 3-pack (with controller).
If you get their AIO CPU cooler, a 3-pack fan pack comes with a different controller and integrated PWM/LCD connector, and they do not plug into that controller, so you'll need to find the correct cable (the one with separate connecters) or add ANOTHER controller.
Beware your amount of USB headers required. AIO requires 2. You can run that off a USB header splitter. LCD fan controller requires a USB header that is not split.
I wouldn't mind adding strimmer cables, but it looks like they will need their own controller.... Pass.
Where do you get this information? Good luck in finding it.
The result of the effort? A beautiful looking fan set up. Just be prepared to be delayed and when you find out all is not simple with Lian Li in their fan division.
The outro was awesome!
I have really liked my Lian Li fans. I've only had one out of 9, over the past 3 or 4 years, that started making a squealing sound and they replaced it without question. If I were building a new system these would definitely be one of my options.
I really hope Corsair copies this because I loved the idea for the front of my case and i've already bought into the ICUE LINK system.
As someone with a O11D PC full of lian li fans I see a few problems with these. I think the most obvious is the requirement of a separate hub/software for these which a realistically not useful in most orientations. Top and bottom will never really get seen leaving only the vertical side mounting or rear exhaust. I cant imagine wanting to populate 12+ fans at this price point with so few getting the LCD benefit. Next would be the performance numbers: while they look great I would hope the numbers also improve upon their previous fans. Finally, the software needs work as pointed out in this video. I don't know if the fans save any of the image files once L-connect 3 is turned off. I often close the program after startup and the effects remain on the AL fans. Love to see a follow up video @JayzTwoCents
These make me want to upgrade, the fact that it can show me the temps/load of my cpu/gpu are awesome. I'd buy them if i could find someone to pawn my old SL120 v1 off on.
I can see it coming in handy for those AIOs that don’t have a temp sensor screen and you like to see temps in your machine rather than through software.
I sure gonna get them in the 140mm for my next Build in the EVO XL !
look at the build Stuart from GGF Events just did using these fans as part of his review for the O11 Evo RGB case. I don't know whether he used some different software customise the colours for the sensors but he made them look sick and they matched both the colour of the coolant and the colour of the lighting on the fans. you should check it out as he's now living in your manor after moving from Australia
the better solution instead of standard airflow direction and reversed would be to use the daisy chain technique to just plug the spinner in the middle directly from the side you want and power it from the inside of the FAN case and the Fan with as said the same power solution as Lian Li did with the Daisy chain powering, so that you can just plug the Fan itself out of the Case and turn it around. One Version, for both directions. Of course this would also need a little button which reverses the direction it spinns, could also be done easily with 2 different points or positions of given power trough the daisy chain power. One position provides electricity clockwise, while the other position ensures it rotates counterclockwise. So if The positions are installed exactly, its automaticly spinning the other direction after plugin the Fan into the case
I love it. Don't know how I'm going to display it on a 216 but I love it.
Im glad to see some innovation. I dont thinkt they're for me, but if i did id use them as a sensor panel for sure
I’m so much more excited about reverse blades that I’m 5 seconds into this video, paused, and resisting posting this in all caps. I was even looking into getting a run of fans made but the cost was insane. Someone had to do it on a mass scale and I am now switching from Corsair.
I ... may just get some of these for my next build. One of them. (Eh, next build's in a Fractal North with the mesh side, so probalby a different build.) RGB finally "sold" itself to me with being able to change with temperature as a sort of built in monitor (and dynamically changing on the KB for different games and programs.) This... I could use. Depending on the case. Even just one as an exhaust in the back (which I always see) with a temperature or cycling temperature/load would be nice.
These would look awesome for my front 3 rad fans in my Corsair 4000X, sort of behind the tinted glass. Would have them as sensors for sure, easy to see information!
I am waiting for wirelessly controlled fans via Bluetooth, so you only need to worry about the 12 volt power rail, and maybe that can be modularized too, so we don't have so many cables running around the case. The PWM controller, effects, etc, would be built into the smart fan. You could even control the fans from your phone, but that may be taking it a bit far - although I could see it happening!🤣
The COOL FACTOR of these fans, at least for me, totally justifies the cost!!! 👍👍
They should use "Gorilla glass" for the infinity mirrors to combat scratching
I recently bought a combo deal at Newegg of a 3-pack Lian Li uni fan al120 v2 with another single al120v2. For some reason it was slightly cheaper to buy 4 fans than to buy 3. Weird sale logic aside, I'm very pleased with the fans both in performance and just being pretty. They really are nice to look at
Hey Jay, just to comment on the sponsor segment. You mentioned that the Phanteks NV9 fits up to SSI-EEB but according to phanteks website and manual, it can only fit up to SSI-CEB. Just wanted to let you know so maybe you can update the sponsor segment in the future.
I may be wrong. But I'm just reading from the Phanteks page and manual. I'm just mentioning this, just in case anyone that sees the ad and wants to buy the case expecting it to fit a SSI-EEB.
(it might fit because SSI-EEB is just wider than SSI-CEB, but will cover some of the fans)
I mean it's not that much more expensive than Corsair maglev fans. And on a case you can use the back wall for fans, the sensor readouts will actually be pretty useful for sensors at a glance, without building a secondary sensor panel.
I've also loved the infinity mirrors ever since they made their infinity mirror case all those years ago.
They also have covers for the mounting screws which makes them look much neater.
Very Cool! I'll be purchasing some when available.
A set of 3 Corsair QL120s at Amazon costs $90. TT Quad rings 120s used to cost $60 each, only a few months ago. If LL can iron out the bugs and fix the colors limitations, then I'll be all over them.
If these get some support for more customizable screens/adding some logic. They could be great as a stylish option for a rack mounted homelab/server.
Little tip!
Your GPU blows out against the side wall of your PC case, at the bottom of your GPU are the fans that suck in 'cold' air?
Take a closer look, what happens to the warm air that blows from the side against your side wall, indeed it is recirculated!
You can solve this with a simple piece of A4 paper, folded with a bend under your GPU air outlet to your exhaust fens. This saved me 9 degrees C.
Holy crap that's amazing... I had already settle on Unifans for my next upgrade (whenever that is) but this just seals the deal. My only complaint with unifans is they always seem to be miss "something"... like, would be nice if these also had blade lighting, or a white option. Or if they had a reverse orientation option so you can have cages not showing regardless of exhaust or intake (this is more a general fan industry complaint than just lian li, but you get my point).
Regardless, these are very strong contenders for when my TT Riing retire!
This is soo cool, will looks really nice on NZXT Elite case front glass. Great innovation.
They will make a killing on these fans. I will be purchasing these on my next build. Well done lian li.
The absolute irony of having a Phanteks ad spot on a video about Lian Li stuff
It's beautiful and I need it!
These fans are phenomenal as far as tech to dollar price. It’s so cool!
Super flower megacool fans should be next. 12pole motor & novel anti vibration.
Ngl while the price is hard to swallow for what is at the end of the day just a fan, I think it’s actually justified. They have a ton of uniqueness that makes it worth
Jay needs to build in the largest Lian Li case, using this system, so he can see if they actually have length to reach everything.
They’re insane!! I have the first SL fans and I like them. Would be nice to see the SL fans with the screen. Would be a nice upgrade. And considering what you get, the price isn’t bad. Have to see what they charge up here in Canada.
So, production cost for standard fans 2 years ago (some RBG, but none of the additional features) was about seventy cents each (for the good ones). These are pretty complicated, and production costs could be even more than 10 times those costs right now, at the onset of these LCD fans. The reason Lian Li and others continue to innovate this arena is that they are an absolute cash cow. I will not be spending time watching the fan hubs (heck they don't even have audio... yet), but others may find them useful or entertaining.
YES I'd love to see the LCD screen on the V2 mirrors
Having the gifs of your team on there made me think of those photo frames where you have a spot for each person in the family, only crossed with the animated portraits at Hogwarts.
Why am I more excited about reverse blades. It's about time someone does it!!!
What? Reverse blades been a thing for a while now my dude
Oh these would be perfect for my case! I would use 4 of these if the fan speeds are decent.
1 rear, 3 bottom. Perhaps it would be nice to have something similar in the top as well, but then you don't see the screen which is a problem.
As a Noctua user it's most likely not really for me but at least it makes me excited and I'd somehow love to see those in reality. So even a a non-RGB guy I have to admit: I like it.
Fans looks great. However I think they should take the approach Corsair is with selling different lengths and angles for their cables. Also, their hub is a lot smaller/better even though they don’t take into account the LCD screen.. I prefer the iCUE link, but this is neat as well
I think it's pretty great. I like 'em and prolly would consider 'em. It's new and different which I like.
Pretty nice.. would be great for someone that likes it simple.. but I'd prefer to keep using Aida64, for my sensor panel.
