I just started receiving all these parts; question: if you mount the mobo tray at the highest point in the case is there still room at the top for a push pull radiator??
Thanks so much for this in depth explanation. Did my build this weekend. Your video was critical in building this. Not getting thermal throttling. Case is clean and looks amazing with all the great infinity fans along with this very cool LCD AIO Cooler from Lian Li. Also did it in reverse mode.
few days before i do my new build in the mini, in preparation of that i found your video for sl v2 fans setup earlier and now this one even if it's not for the mini ! You'll definitely be my virtual assistant for that build 😅
I feel like Lian Li missed an opportunity with their new XL case to make a 420 aio to properly fill the case. I think the highlight of the case being upright gpu mount and 140mm fans with a 420mm radiator capacity...
Absolutely. I quintuple checked there was no 420 galahad before going with the thermaltake th420. Still cool, but i will likely replace the fans with uni infinities to match the rest of the case fans in the future.
I always find it interesting when people mount the GPU anyt way other than just the classic Horizontal way Because I wanted to have the nice big back plate showing where I could make an acrylic cover for it with custom art on it. But I also do see some of the appeal of other ways.
Wish I'd gotten the same motherboard as you haha 😂 Struggling to find the right cables into correct slots, even while consulting manuals upon manuals upon google searches... Not to mention rewinding and rewatching your video! It's an extremely helpful resource. Thank you
you thanks man i have already built a pc like 3 years ago and im building a new one soon. i have worked and now i can build a god pc if you want to know the specs then i will tell you but i really appreciate this video bc it does help me when im building one again.
Beautiful build! I'm working on a parts list and I've been racking my brain for days now to figure out a better option for the GPU anti-sag. The bracket in the video doesn't seem as if it would help much. The sag is going to be from the front right corner... not the rear corner. There's gotta be a better method, even if it means a little DIY/Modding to possibly configure a support that would run a narrow arm/shelf under the card and be supported from the side part of the case between the MOBO and the side fan area.
Agreed. I have 17 Total Fans in this Case with 14 SL UNI V2 Fans, but I’m gonna swap to Infinity. You could Top 3 Reversed 120mm (Intake) or 6 if you do a Push/Pull Config (Intake) Side 3 140mm (Exhaust) Bottom 3 Reversed 120mm (Intake) Rear 1 or 2 120mm (Exhaust)
Extremely helpful and authentic, thank you a lot! But I dont understand: how do some builders/builds avoid to have some single cables visible while here I can still see many cables going from/to motherboard? This here seems more realistic! So how is it that so many other builds can hide their cables but fans i.e. still work?! So confused
i find connecting ssd's to the panel impossible on any lian li case when its flushed up on the side panel like that, most cables don't come in the angle needed, especially the sata power cable
This is definitely looking to be my next case but prefer it in black, been a fan of corsair cases for a while current owner of the 500D SE, but the case has no room for cable management, this is a full tower case but seems quite small for a full tower, its closer to a mid tower case.
I am building my PC with this case right now, thank you for the video, I shall use it as a guide. Maybe with a little better cable management though ;-)
Very nice. I just ordered the Galahad II LCD cooler, but didn't notice that it wasn't the Infinite version. I'm assuming I can just swap the three RGB fans on it and replace them with 3 infinite fans to match the rest of my fans.
One thing I wonder. The cables for pass through mode that connect to the motherboard. Are they truly optional? Meaning you can not even connect them in the first place (instead of connecting the cable but not using pass through mode). Wouldn't the pc maybe complain that no cpu/aio fan is connected if you chose to run everything through the lian li boxes and leave those cables off entirely? Because how would the Motherboard know you actually have a cpu fan or aio connected but you're running it through a separate device? Or does the motherboard not even care if nothing is plugged into those plugs?
so if u use usb connection for the controller you dont need to connect the small and thin cable to motherboard headers? , im building a pc and i hate that cable
Dou you think we can mount rog strix 4090 on the side? Kinda doubt it because galax 4070 ti already cram the side, and strix a bit bigger and longer. 🤔
What did you end up plugging into that Corsair 2.0 USB HUB? I'm building a relatively similar build soon and I can't figure out if I need one or not, I know you connected the LCD Galahad, but besides that?
Just finished almost this exact same build and everything basically works, but I have no control over any of the RGB in the case (except for the AIO pumphead) or fan speeds.
Why wouldn't you set the AIO fans up reverse where it's sucking in cool air from outside and then pulling it through and exhausting it out the top? Never understood why people, including when doing top mounts would want to suck the air inside the case which is going to be hotter than the air outside of the case through their rad? Almost like if a car was sitting idle and you had your radiator fans sucking air from inside the engine bay and exhausting it through the front of the car. Also is it just me or do they need to reverse the cooling tubes? That way they wouldn't be crossed and would run parallel? I love your videos though man. You do great work and share tons of knowledge. Thanks
Hello everyone.. I started building a computer but ran into a problem, if you can call it that... I have a Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO RGB CASE and Lian Li UNI FAN SL-INF 140mm I have a technical question regarding the installation of 3 X 140mm fans which are on the front, i.e. to the right of the motherboard...I can't screw more than 8 screws there because the upright bracket is a bit short. ..On the first and last fan, the upper screws, which are 2 each, have nowhere to screw....The fans I watched a video in which 3 fans of 120 mm fit perfectly and all 12 screws are screwed to them... But for 3 fans of 140 mm something is not right... Does anyone know where I'm going wrong?
I installed this aio 2 days ago and the pump is making a strange noise. Is this normal? It's cooling well and my temperatures haven't gone over 68 degrees in game but I'm really worried about the sound
Hi. I have this case with lian li vertical gpu, i mounted the kit and the little metal thing i didnt put anywhere.. should i put it ? i can t find any tutorial on yt for this specific case.. only for o11 evo non xl.
you can fit 4 x 120mm on top. I showed it and I did it. And again, you can 2 x 120mm at the rear, but it depends on the motherboard placement. I've shown it all here ruclips.net/video/E-t8mT-iW_A/видео.html and here - ruclips.net/video/3SKzr_A9GVM/видео.html
@@TheProvokedPrawn as you can see i fixed my mistake i made i now have to sit through all the other videos i watched and find the one that said i could put 4 fans in the 3 positions it was not you my apologies for my mistake
You connected everything correctly? Checked l connect for firmware updates? One fan spinning is odd, very odd. It suggests the fans aren't connected properly but you say the RGB is
I feel lian li have missed an opportunity here with the lcd Galahad by not including the lcd option with the performance Galahad. I’m going to be doing a similar build but with a 7950x3d and all black with the performance Galahad in a push pull config.
Are the only Intakes the bottom fans? Isnt that too much negative pressure? Im about to do my build and wondering how your temps are with this current setup. Should I make the rear and bottom intakes and the side and top exhausts with the AIO being on the side?
@@TheProvokedPrawn Okay thanks man! I got my LCD fans today that i was going to put on the AIO as exhaust, and was poking around and saw this video saying you changed it, so I'm going to return them and get the Reverse LCD fans that way I can use the screens haha. Would you say its okay to use only 3 reversed fans on the inside of the case and then 3 non reversed 120's on the backside of the AIO? They'd all be set to intake but the LEDS would be visible from the outside of the case.
Hey. I plugged in my aio inf fans power cable into the cpu fan header on the motherboard. I then plugged my other inf fans in the chassi to my hub controller and plugged that into a chassi fan header on the motherboard. When I look in bios there is only 1 fan recognition at that is “cpu fan”. All my fans are running at the same speed as the cpu fans even tho I plugged the hub into a chassi fan, they don’t come up under “chassi fan 1” in bios. What do I need to do? I want the motherboard to change the rpm of the aio fans depending on the cpu temps but I want the chassi fans to not change rpm depending on the cpu temp.
Do i need a NZXT usb hub, or any USB hub if i have a Hyte Y70 Touch, ROG STRIX B650-A GAMING WIFI, Galahad 2 LCD SL-INF, 3 reverse SL-INF, 1 normal SL-INF, LL Strimer V2 for 24 pin and two 8 pin? One technician told me to plug all fans to the AIO controller which eats one USB 2.0, the case will eat another USB 2.0, and the Strimer can just connect to the mobo. Will the strimer perform as normal if connected to mobo directly instead of controller?
Top build!! Thanks for the tutorial, will save it for whenever I attempt my own build in the next few months. Question, is it worth it to add a dedicated SSD 250GB just for the OS? And then another 2TB one Gen 4 to run the games and programs? thank you!
Can you fit 4x 120 at the bottom too? Were you not able to use one of the 2 supplied side tray covers at the bottom or the rad to fill the gap? so much help these builds, much appreciated
@@TheProvokedPrawn lol yeah you right that doesn't make sense if 4 can fit at the top, looks like we need to wait for the 140 SL INF reverse ones, really hope they will make them, on another question if you can help, I'm looking to do the 360 AIO on the side with push pull but feel it is a waste of money to also get SL120 INF reverse for the side-rear(behind the rad) of case as it wont be seen, what other Lian Li non RGB fans could i pair up(more or less same (rpm/cfm/mm-h20) with the SL120 INF reverse on the inside of case on the rad, and could these fans still connect to the same hub for RPM control? many thanks
Quick question, can I hook up the AIO to the connectors from the Uni fans or do I need to use the older connector included in the package of the Galahad 2?
You can connect the fans to the triple pack controller and then use l connect to control fan speed according to CPU temp as well as connecting the pump to CPU fan
@@TheProvokedPrawn I watched the video. My question is since these don’t have any rgb. Will I still be able to fix the UNI FAN SL-Infinity in a 4x 120mm? Also I’ve been looking for comparisons but can’t find any between the P28 and the SL-Infinity fans.
Hey mate, amazing build guide, looking into doing something similar within the next couple weeks. Just had a quick question about the case fans with push/ pull, I noticed that you have 4 sets of 3 fans (Bottom, Top & 2 for Radiator) + 1 extra fan for exhaust. Do those 5 sets of fans all connect to the Uni Hub Fan Controller for L Connect or would you have to run the exhaust fans through the motherboard. Thanks
@@TheProvokedPrawn I was thinking of running 2 exhaust fans for the o11 evo xl which would exceed the 4 fan limit oer group. Just curious but what would it look like if 2 controllers were connected in L connect. Would all the 5 groups of fans show up together? Thank you so much
I’ll receive this beast in a week ! Just a Little question, does the AIO have to be in the side or can I mount it on the top ? Is there a real différence or reason to put it on the side ? Thanks !
I have a question. I bought the AIO, and the 2 of the 3 pack fan and one of the single fan one. Will I use both the AIO hub and one of the hubs that comes with the 3 fan pack one as they are both different.
@TheProvokedPrawn Ah, okay, thanks. And one more question can I connect the triple pack hub small wire to the Aio hub? If not, if I use two hubs, can they still sync? And thanks for answering my questions.
That's weird indeed and makes me regret ordering another three pack of RGB fans for my build 😅 I just yesterday moved from the original o11D (where I ran 9x120 fans) to the EvoXL (which now looks a bit empty, especially in the bottom with the 120s) after having severe space issues with my newly aquired 4090 Strix. Is there just no official way of mounting 4x120s in the bottom or could a fourth one fit there if I'd use some double sided tape for example?@@TheProvokedPrawn
I ordered this same white case today. The new gpu brackets are out of stock so need to get them later. This Lian Li Dynamic PC-011 PCMR is way too small for 4080, even with cooler master V3 Vertical bracket the GPU's fans are way too close to side glass. I want to change my corsair fans to Lian Li because the wireless daisychain. And switch to bigger 140mm fans too, but i have to wait for those 140mm Reverse fans...there is only 120mm available at the moment.😑 Only problem is that my CPU cooler (nzxt kraken z73) uses normal 120mm non-led fans, and if i change them to Lian Li's Infinity fans...can i daisychain just the RGB with other Lian li fans in the case and leave the fans rpm control to nzxt app?? It would look bad if rgb is not in sync.😬 Thanks for any tips or advice. Your channel is gold! 🤩
Have you tried connecting the strip RGB to read from the Motherboard or a hub? There's a manufacturing error on all Evo XL's which means the case doesn't remember it was set in this mode, and so gets reset every time the computer turns off or enters sleep.
@@DonnieDarko311 I haven't heard of anyone's working on Reddit or OCUK forums.. but it's took Lian Li by surprise, so who knows if there's some working ones out there. On Reddit replacements sent out have the same problem.
@@DonnieDarko311 I've got faith they will fix it and send free replacements, but it's a strange oversight. It does remember other colour modes you can set, just not the custom (motherboard reading) mode.
I feel like it’s an Asus motherboard issue. It never wants to load my RGB static color on startup, unless the program loads up back again. It always starts as a rainbow default color.
hey provoked prawn, i recently bought lian li sl inf fans, and i am having trouble with L connect 3 , somehow i am unable to turn on MB Lighting sync. L connect 3 just freezes when i try to turn it on can you suggest any workarounds ? Thank you
@@TheProvokedPrawn hi thanks for the reply, i had already referred to this video of yours . i have no problems with function of fans . they work fine only problem seems to turn the MB lighting sync on . i thought i could use armory crate to control everything but alas i havent found any solution and getting in touch with lian li customer service is difficult than going through airport customs.

I have a few questions. I’ve based my build on most of what you’ve used in this build. The z690 formula motherboard in the evo xl. I’m having an issue getting the gpu bracket top slot to fit into that space. It’s a very tight area and I can’t seem to get it in there but I see you somehow managed it. Also, I’m not sure which cable to use to plug into the 8 pin plug under the 24 pin plug on the motherboard. I’m using the lian li streamers and the hxi 1500 corsair psu. In addition, my gtx 3060 only has 1 (8 pin) plug for power yet the streamer has 2. Will plugging in one and not the other cause any issue?
I installed this aio 2 days ago and the pump is making a strange noise. Is this normal? It's cooling well and my temperatures haven't gone over 68 degrees in game but I'm really worried about the sound
Would the placement of the Liquid Cooler, not be the best solution horizontal in the top? And 3x120 fans exhaust in the side. There will be less “stress” on the pump circulation?
35:54 I Bought the same splitter but somehow my front panel not working… I cabled everything correctly, every usb device I connect it’s said unknown devices windows can’t do shit bla bla bla so idk. If I only connect one of the white cable directly to the mobo it’s working but with splitter it’s not
Thank you very much for this. I want to upgrade my PC, and currently I have a z490 motherboard with an i7-11700kF CPU and Rog Strix RTX 3080 GPU. I want to upgrade with all the PC parts you have used, Do you think it will still be compatible with my RTX 3080 GPU? I am not really a PC builder but I am learning heaps from you videos. Thank you!

@TheProvokedPrawn figured it out, it was software related, I needed to add one more to the chain in i-connect. Appreciate you responding
How many fans can i fit with also having a 360mm aio?
It has a 360mm. I'm not sure I understand your question
@TheProvokedPrawn I worded it wrong. On top of having a 360 aio how many fans can you fit in the case
I feel lian li have missed an opportunity here with the lcd Galahad by not including the lcd option with the performance Galahad. I’m going to be doing a similar build but with a 7950x3d and all black with the performance Galahad in a push pull config.
Hi will this work the same with 10 fans. 4 groups sets of fans and use the phantek usb extension?
how do i turn on the argb trip from case?
You need to connect the power.
Do you worry about fans blowing on your styx from below when the stryx fans are not on?
no
is it possible to use a vertical mount ? there is no screw on the pcie slots.
how can i change the rgb on the lian li case? like the rgb strip on the side?
There is a button or you can use your motherboard sync software, assuming you plugged the right cables in
thanks@@TheProvokedPrawn
Are the only Intakes the bottom fans? Isnt that too much negative pressure? Im about to do my build and wondering how your temps are with this current setup. Should I make the rear and bottom intakes and the side and top exhausts with the AIO being on the side?
Yes you'd be better with bottom and side as intake
@@TheProvokedPrawn Okay thanks man! I got my LCD fans today that i was going to put on the AIO as exhaust, and was poking around and saw this video saying you changed it, so I'm going to return them and get the Reverse LCD fans that way I can use the screens haha.
Would you say its okay to use only 3 reversed fans on the inside of the case and then 3 non reversed 120's on the backside of the AIO? They'd all be set to intake but the LEDS would be visible from the outside of the case.
Hey. I plugged in my aio inf fans power cable into the cpu fan header on the motherboard. I then plugged my other inf fans in the chassi to my hub controller and plugged that into a chassi fan header on the motherboard. When I look in bios there is only 1 fan recognition at that is “cpu fan”. All my fans are running at the same speed as the cpu fans even tho I plugged the hub into a chassi fan, they don’t come up under “chassi fan 1” in bios. What do I need to do? I want the motherboard to change the rpm of the aio fans depending on the cpu temps but I want the chassi fans to not change rpm depending on the cpu temp.
Do i need a NZXT usb hub, or any USB hub if i have a Hyte Y70 Touch, ROG STRIX B650-A GAMING WIFI, Galahad 2 LCD SL-INF, 3 reverse SL-INF, 1 normal SL-INF, LL Strimer V2 for 24 pin and two 8 pin? One technician told me to plug all fans to the AIO controller which eats one USB 2.0, the case will eat another USB 2.0, and the Strimer can just connect to the mobo. Will the strimer perform as normal if connected to mobo directly instead of controller?
Does this case come with the modular usb hub?
hello there i would like a link please for ani saide braket you shaw to block on right side the graphique GPU please thanks
the fans u used on the top are 140 or 120 ? can t spot the diff
140
@@TheProvokedPrawncan u fit 4 of them ? 4 140mm?
Great video Prawn, Is it possible to vertically mount a 4090 with the motherboard being on the bottom position?
I haven't tried but I believe it would be
just please put the radiator on top for better cooling and appearance

Top build!! Thanks for the tutorial, will save it for whenever I attempt my own build in the next few months.
Question, is it worth it to add a dedicated SSD 250GB just for the OS? And then another 2TB one Gen 4 to run the games and programs? thank you!
I have a drive specifically for Windows and games but tbh 250gb is too small nowadays imo. So easy to fill up
@@TheProvokedPrawn Definitely, I just thought the 250 gigs would be exclusively for the OS, then the rest of files and games in a separate 2TB
Can you fit 4x 120 at the bottom too? Were you not able to use one of the 2 supplied side tray covers at the bottom or the rad to fill the gap? so much help these builds, much appreciated
Sadly no, you can't fit 4 at the bottom, which doesn't make sense, but i did try :( As for the covers, I didn't try that idea. Sorry!
@@TheProvokedPrawn lol yeah you right that doesn't make sense if 4 can fit at the top, looks like we need to wait for the 140 SL INF reverse ones, really hope they will make them, on another question if you can help, I'm looking to do the 360 AIO on the side with push pull but feel it is a waste of money to also get SL120 INF reverse for the side-rear(behind the rad) of case as it wont be seen, what other Lian Li non RGB fans could i pair up(more or less same (rpm/cfm/mm-h20) with the SL120 INF reverse on the inside of case on the rad, and could these fans still connect to the same hub for RPM control? many thanks
Reverse case please!

What program do you control the cabinet lights with?
Your motherboard RGB lighting assuming you've connected the 5v cable to your motherboard
@@TheProvokedPrawn And from the motherboard with what program do you control it? with aura sync? Icue? or lian li has his program?
Hello!🤝, is the standard power supply suitable?
Standard ATX PSU will work
@@TheProvokedPrawn thank you!! Good day to you🤝👍
One question , Where is the PSU ?
In the back. It's dual chamber. If you watch I'll show you
@@TheProvokedPrawn Oh sorry i didnt watched that part , my bad :)
Good evening, please tell me if I do not use a usb splitter, not all outputs on the lian li case will work for me?
Depends on your motherboard
@@TheProvokedPrawn i have ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-A GAMING WIFI
@@katcrash1364 I've not found a splitter that works properly sadly. So you probably won't be able to use all four ports
@@TheProvokedPrawn oh thank you
With the aio on the side are you using it for exhaust instead of intake?
It's one option but flipping the fans or using reverse blade is preferable ruclips.net/video/sVEXd-Wp8FY/видео.html
Quick question, can I hook up the AIO to the connectors from the Uni fans or do I need to use the older connector included in the package of the Galahad 2?
You can connect the fans to the triple pack controller and then use l connect to control fan speed according to CPU temp as well as connecting the pump to CPU fan
Great, thank you@@TheProvokedPrawn
so you have 7 exhaust fans and 3 intake fans?
Too many. Exactly ruclips.net/video/sVEXd-Wp8FY/видео.html
What fans are these used in the 9:39 timestamp?
ruclips.net/video/l1DggAhxC0M/видео.html
@@TheProvokedPrawn thank you. Will you ever do a build with 4 on top, 4 below and cooler on the side?
@@TheProvokedPrawn I watched the video. My question is since these don’t have any rgb. Will I still be able to fix the UNI FAN SL-Infinity in a 4x 120mm? Also I’ve been looking for comparisons but can’t find any between the P28 and the SL-Infinity fans.
Hey mate, amazing build guide, looking into doing something similar within the next couple weeks. Just had a quick question about the case fans with push/ pull, I noticed that you have 4 sets of 3 fans (Bottom, Top & 2 for Radiator) + 1 extra fan for exhaust. Do those 5 sets of fans all connect to the Uni Hub Fan Controller for L Connect or would you have to run the exhaust fans through the motherboard. Thanks
I used two controllers. However, you could theoretically connect three + 1 with the daisy chain cable. If that makes sense, in one group.
@@TheProvokedPrawn I was thinking of running 2 exhaust fans for the o11 evo xl which would exceed the 4 fan limit oer group. Just curious but what would it look like if 2 controllers were connected in L connect. Would all the 5 groups of fans show up together? Thank you so much
I’ll receive this beast in a week !
Just a Little question, does the AIO have to be in the side or can I mount it on the top ?
Is there a real différence or reason to put it on the side ?
Thanks !
I’ve missed your other link who talk about intake fans, I think i’ll find my response here :)
You can mount it on top for sure. ruclips.net/video/E-t8mT-iW_A/видео.html
@@TheProvokedPrawnthank you !
I have a question. I bought the AIO, and the 2 of the 3 pack fan and one of the single fan one. Will I use both the AIO hub and one of the hubs that comes with the 3 fan pack one as they are both different.
Yeah that's probably the most logical.
@TheProvokedPrawn Ah, okay, thanks. And one more question can I connect the triple pack hub small wire to the Aio hub? If not, if I use two hubs, can they still sync? And thanks for answering my questions.
Can it also support 4x120 in the bottom?
Sadly no. Which is weird but I have tried
That's weird indeed and makes me regret ordering another three pack of RGB fans for my build 😅 I just yesterday moved from the original o11D (where I ran 9x120 fans) to the EvoXL (which now looks a bit empty, especially in the bottom with the 120s) after having severe space issues with my newly aquired 4090 Strix. Is there just no official way of mounting 4x120s in the bottom or could a fourth one fit there if I'd use some double sided tape for example?@@TheProvokedPrawn
I ordered this same white case today. The new gpu brackets are out of stock so need to get them later.
This Lian Li Dynamic PC-011 PCMR is way too small for 4080, even with cooler master V3 Vertical bracket the GPU's fans are way too close to side glass.
I want to change my corsair fans to Lian Li because the wireless daisychain. And switch to bigger 140mm fans too, but i have to wait for those 140mm Reverse fans...there is only 120mm available at the moment.😑
Only problem is that my CPU cooler (nzxt kraken z73) uses normal 120mm non-led fans, and if i change them to Lian Li's Infinity fans...can i daisychain just the RGB with other Lian li fans in the case and leave the fans rpm control to nzxt app??
It would look bad if rgb is not in sync.😬
Thanks for any tips or advice.
Your channel is gold! 🤩

@@TheProvokedPrawn Awesome, thank you!!
This man’s cable management is worse than a bowl of noodles the noodles in a restaurant look more organized than this lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the engagement
Thats a good roast but i think its good enough tbh
Have you tried connecting the strip RGB to read from the Motherboard or a hub? There's a manufacturing error on all Evo XL's which means the case doesn't remember it was set in this mode, and so gets reset every time the computer turns off or enters sleep.
Are you sure? My case will arrive next monday and that would suck
@@DonnieDarko311 I haven't heard of anyone's working on Reddit or OCUK forums.. but it's took Lian Li by surprise, so who knows if there's some working ones out there. On Reddit replacements sent out have the same problem.
@@hostile_1866 okay... thank you so much. I'll give a feedback in 2 weeks.
@@DonnieDarko311 I've got faith they will fix it and send free replacements, but it's a strange oversight. It does remember other colour modes you can set, just not the custom (motherboard reading) mode.
I feel like it’s an Asus motherboard issue. It never wants to load my RGB static color on startup, unless the program loads up back again. It always starts as a rainbow default color.
I have MSI H610M-E Pro with 5V RGB 4pin Header how do I install the fans
The header is only if you want to sync lighting via your motherboard software. Just use USB and L Connect.
@@TheProvokedPrawn how do I use USB and L connect
@@TheProvokedPrawn the mystic light is installed on windows
And I want to install the fans

hey provoked prawn, i recently bought lian li sl inf fans, and i am having trouble with L connect 3 , somehow i am unable to turn on MB Lighting sync. L connect 3 just freezes when i try to turn it on can you suggest any workarounds ? Thank you
Have you got the 5v RGB cable connected? Also try this ruclips.net/video/xmLIU40UOVI/видео.html
@@TheProvokedPrawn hi thanks for the reply, i had already referred to this video of yours . i have no problems with function of fans . they work fine only problem seems to turn the MB lighting sync on . i thought i could use armory crate to control everything but alas i havent found any solution and getting in touch with lian li customer service is difficult than going through airport customs.
@@swappy2488 if you haven't tried it I'd suggest a firmware update for the controller and uninstall and reinstall l connect.

I have a few questions. I’ve based my build on most of what you’ve used in this build. The z690 formula motherboard in the evo xl. I’m having an issue getting the gpu bracket top slot to fit into that space. It’s a very tight area and I can’t seem to get it in there but I see you somehow managed it. Also, I’m not sure which cable to use to plug into the 8 pin plug under the 24 pin plug on the motherboard. I’m using the lian li streamers and the hxi 1500 corsair psu. In addition, my gtx 3060 only has 1 (8 pin) plug for power yet the streamer has 2. Will plugging in one and not the other cause any issue?
@@jonnybravo5285 ruclips.net/video/xT36IDSQBX4/видео.html as for the strimmers I haven't tried with just one connector but in theory it should be fine
How's the tempatures... is that push/pull on the radiator?
I'm testing at the moment. You'll see next week if you're subbed :)
I installed this aio 2 days ago and the pump is making a strange noise. Is this normal? It's cooling well and my temperatures haven't gone over 68 degrees in game but I'm really worried about the sound
You only have 3 intake fans ?
The plan was to swap to reverse blade fans ruclips.net/video/sVEXd-Wp8FY/видео.html
Would the placement of the Liquid Cooler, not be the best solution horizontal in the top? And 3x120 fans exhaust in the side.
There will be less “stress” on the pump circulation?
Thank you for this amazing review, Good Sir.
It wasn't my review but glad it helped!
35:54 I Bought the same splitter but somehow my front panel not working… I cabled everything correctly, every usb device I connect it’s said unknown devices windows can’t do shit bla bla bla so idk. If I only connect one of the white cable directly to the mobo it’s working but with splitter it’s not
really considering swapping my O11 evo to this, since with this i can have bottom fans and still have space to put an anti-sag for my gpu
Thank you very much for this. I want to upgrade my PC, and currently I have a z490 motherboard with an i7-11700kF CPU and Rog Strix RTX 3080 GPU. I want to upgrade with all the PC parts you have used, Do you think it will still be compatible with my RTX 3080 GPU? I am not really a PC builder but I am learning heaps from you videos. Thank you!
Yes. That's a good GPU and it'll be fine.
On the gpu upright position (pcie on the right) any problems from the heat? is going straight to the glass
