@@avur_ied5195 total of 16 to one fan hub, max 4 to each output. I like to invite you to watch the dos and dont's of the uni controller in this playlist. ruclips.net/p/PLEW-b-2vYDdPo0NzHyeksx012c-nkDapm it will tell you about the argb load limitation.
This is "hands down" the most simplest and most precise explanation regarding the messy world of ARGB/RGB lighting/connection chaos. Even Linus or Jayz2Cents can't do better tha this. Very clear and precise. I wish I found this video before I bought the CoolerMaster ARGB controller.
@@frank_soares Hi welcome to my channel. nope the effects are different and you can’t use the L-Connect software on the ST120 controller. However you can still use the ST120 fans with the Uni controller, just that there are some effects that the ST120 might not adapt to. If you intend to plug the ST120 to the uni controller, you will need the lian li argb cable kit lian-li.com/product/argb_cable_kit/ video here ruclips.net/video/ktuRAOcAkn8/видео.html .You can refer to this diagram .. top right imgur.com/gallery/ErMZdQh or if you unable to get the lian li argb cable kit, I did my own crimping cables and you can view the galahad to uni controller video in my playlist ruclips.net/p/PLEW-b-2vYDdPo0NzHyeksx012c-nkDapm which those fans are of ST120. as for how to crimp those cables, its also listed in my playlist.
@@KleoYan Thanks for helping me. I would also like to know if the SL120 controller, can I use it with a fan other than LIAN LI like CoolerMaster MF120 Halo? There is a controller on Aliexpress, I was wondering if it's the right one, but every time I send the link my comment is deleted.
@@frank_soares you are most welcome. based on the specs of the cooler master MF120 Halo www.coolermaster.com/sg/en-sg/catalog/coolers/case-fan/masterfan-mf120-halo/#specifications the RGB drawing current is at 0.55a each. It should not be an issue but make sure you know the limitation of the uni controller. on the safe side. please do not connect more than 4 MF120 halo fans to one output. stick with 4. you will also need some converters too. just an illustration. I have make use of the EK Vardar EVO 120 ER fans with this uni controller ruclips.net/video/bMRz2KVqbjA/видео.html

Hi IPJR S, welcome to my channel and thank you for your feedback. Infact I’ve done a series of these uni fans and such from Lian Li. You might be interested ruclips.net/p/PLEW-b-2vYDdPo0NzHyeksx012c-nkDapm
Im currently in the process of a new build. Been a fan of Lian Li since day 1. When I first came across this Uni Fan, a must have. Finally this has been a huge help for this video and nicely done sir, Kudos !!
Hi Ron Pedraza, thank you for the compliments and glad that this does help you out. by the way, there is another video of dos and donts, I strongly recommend you to watch that too. ruclips.net/video/QQHJUQvKwlY/видео.html
My friend, once again, made a great video! After seeing the other unifan videos, including the one from the tests in which she did not do so well and we talked, I pondered and bought 1 kit of them, and will probably buy another one in a few weeks. The point is that I believe that they will do a good job in the o11 dynamic, mainly related to dust filters. Regarding this video, wonderful demonstration of how the lian li program works combined with the motherboard system. an excellent complement to the other video regarding L-connect. Continue with these videos, your material is quite complete, very well explained, and very useful.
Hi Ferraz, thank you for the compliment. Glad it did help you out. Now as for getting another kit which includes the UNI Fan controller. I have not tested this. it might not work. I assume that the L-Connect software is able to operate only one controller. so do take note on this.
@@KleoYan Yes, I imagine that two controllers should not work together, but here in Brazil it is more expensive to buy 3 separate fans than to buy a new kit, I will take advantage and leave the second controller and the cable set as a backup. what i think about doing is buying the phantaks led strip and plugging it into the controller, just like you demonstrated in a previous video.
@@heversonferraz5797 I see. maybe the second unit can be as a spare as this controller as compared to other brand controller. It is very well engineered. it's worth the purchase. by the way.. all the best on your PC build too :)
@@KleoYan Exactly, maybe I will use it as an argb hub on the second motherboard connection, so I can take advantage of the 10a potential that the controller offers, on the motherboard connection, it supports a maximum of 75 leds with 100% brightness, at least that's what in the manual. Well keep up the good work, sya.
@@heversonferraz5797 yup buddy, that what I have been trying to buy after I got this kit. looking for online stores to just sell the controller without the fans. I am amazed on how it's build plus the software that comes with it.
Great video, quick Lian li question, most modern cases like the Lan Cool II mesh case has RGB controls on the front panel. One to cycle mode, the other the colors. However I have maxed out my controller (same in this video) as well as mobo rgb headers (2) so not sure where or how to implement. Thanks and keep creating great in depth content.
Hello Johnathan Sullivan, thank you for your compliment. Perhaps let me know how many fans and how do you position them in your lancool 2 mesh. Also what type of processor and GPU AIO are you using? Any push pull configuration. Also are there any additional argb strip? then I will be able to voice out my opinion. by the way there are couple of videos I did on this uni fan which might interest you. ruclips.net/p/PLEW-b-2vYDdM1WklGQps2-sQ1Amy6Uwn9 especially the dos and donts which is important. once again thank you for your question and compliment. if you like my content, kindly subscribe and to click on the notification bell, thank you very much!
@@KleoYan @Kleo Yan 3 front uni's, 2 top uni's one single rear exhaust uni and 2 PSU shroud uni's. So 4 sets technically all 120mm. CPU 5900x, Dark Hero mobo.

HI JC Ferrell, welcome and thank you for the compliment.. by the way I do have a series of videos about this uni fan which might interest you ruclips.net/p/PLEW-b-2vYDdM1WklGQps2-sQ1Amy6Uwn9, once again thank you and to have follow my channel.
Sorry so I didn't see this question asked - might be a dumb one - I have an ASUS Z390 (so I don't have an ARGB header) and will be manually controller my fan's ARGB, fans speeds (with PWM), and Strimers using L-Connect. My question is, will L-Connect be able to sync my Motherboard's RGB (the Z390 has RGB lights on it) as well, through only the Lian Li's USB connection? Hope the question makes sense. I bought the Deepcool RGB converter, but since I'll be using L-Connect, I'm not sure if I need it to convert the 3pin ARGB to the Z390's 4pin RGB. Thank you vm - super helpful videos!! I've learned a lot from you.
hello Akshay A, welcome to my channel, it is not advisable to use the deepcool converter from 4pin to 3pin.. it will not work. now being said. you can use the uni controller with the L-Connect app to control all argb effects. you only need to plug the USB cable between the uni controller and to your motherboard USB 2.0 header. hope this help.
Nice! In the beginning there is a Button in the l connect named switch direction. Is it possible to change the turn direction of the Fans itself without turn them physically in the case?
Hi Nico H, welcome to my channel, I am so sorry to have missed your question. for the fan spin itself, you can't change the direction. you will need to physically turn them. again am sorry to reply you this late. my bad.
Your three part series on these fans were so thorough and very helpful. Made my installation a breeze. I do have a quick question though. Is it possible to hook the rbg strip from my Phanteks p500a case to the Lian Li controller?
Hi Ace, thank you for your compliment. Is this your case --> www.phanteks.com/assets/manuals/PH-EC500ATG.pdf ? If it is, I would not advise you to do so, the case itself has a controller which either to be controlled by the case controller or to controlled by your motherboard. Below I will hold no responsibility. The only way if you want your phanteks argb fans to work with the uni fan. If you are familiar with argb control units, first you will need to unplug the argb cable from your case controller, then you will need to figure a way to daisy chained your argb fans and strips. using a converter which I have shown here ruclips.net/video/TIO8JxVZTi8/видео.html , plug to to the uni fan. it should work if you know how, also please take note of the led load from the fans. if unsure, do not perform this as a silly mistake might not only damage the argb control unit but might even short and damage the rest of your PC component. I have ever experience that before as I was unsure and without knowledge. I damage my whole PC just because of that. Once again thank you for the question and to have visit my channel.

if you purchase a Lian Li PC case with its own controller that manages the LED front light strip via a front panel button, HOW do you connect the PC case controller to the UniFan controller (motherboard>LianLi 4x UniFan Controller> LianLi PC case controller?) Or do you connect the UniFan controller last (Motherboard>>>LianLi PC case controller>>>LianLi 4x UniFan Controller?) Is the LianLi 011 DXL PC Case front panel button supposed to be able to control all ARGB lights?
HI Gary-G, welcome to my channel, can I have you to list out how many sets of fans and quantity of fans you plan to use. example below I assume you are doing this configuration. if you are, am afraid you can't cannot the stripe to be controlled by the uni controller plus it will be overloading even if you use a splitter. it's not advisable. Top : 3 x Unifan - Output 1 Bottom : 3 x Unifan - Output 2 Side : 3 x Unifan - Output 3 Rear : 1 x Unifan - Output 4
Hi, i have a question i want to buy AIO galahad 360 + Uni fan hub , as well as Phanteks P500a case( It has 3 PWM D-RGB fans) , could i mix and sync fans+pump from aio with case fans through the HUB + Lian Li software? My motherboard doesn't have an ARGB header. There is not much information about using uni hub with other brands.
Hello Mark Bachilo, welcome to my channel. Motherboard that does not come with argb connectors, not an issue. I would advise you to connect all fan load to your motherboard to have total control and leave all argb on the uni controller and let L-Connect app to control the lighting effects. as for not much info about other brand fans. first you need to know what are the led rating .. please make sure is LED and not fan load.. this might aid you with it. ruclips.net/video/bMRz2KVqbjA/видео.html
Hi, I have a lian li lan cool 2 mesh performance case. I was wondering since the performance case have a fan controller what would be your advice? Use the unifan controller and front case controller separate or connect the unifan controller to the case fan controller? I'm kind of confused of what to do. Thank you for your useful videos!
Hi kevinwakoko, welcome to my channel. This really depends how you wanted to control your fans. below are the 3 options. Option 1 - Case fan controller. ======================== All the fans are connected to the fan hub, you will only be able to control all fans running at a fix rate, be it low, mid or high. Option 2 - Uni Controller =================== You can choose to make use of the L-Connect app to set individual sets of fan with various RPM, example below. Output 1 - 3 x fan (top) to run at 1000 rpm (set on L-Connect software) Output 2 - 3 x fan (bottom) to run at 800 rpm (set on L-Connect software) Output 3 - 2 x fan (side AIO liquid cooler) to run PWM mode depending on the motherboard connections (set on L-Connect software, under fan, set to PWM) Output 4 - 1 x fan (rear) to run at 1800 rpm (set on L-Connect software) Option 3 - Motherboard Fan Headers (CPU1, CPU_OPT, CHASSIS_FAN_1 and etc) ================================================================= This will be my favorite, I can connect each set of fans to the respective motherboard fan headers and to control them either using fix RPM or PWM function. To be honest as why I choose Option 3, cos I am not the type who likes aRGB effects. My current setup is just using performance fans and I choose to control my fans through the motherboard in UEFI/Bios. I do not need to install any additional software to control them. As for lightings effect, I only do RGB and not aRGB. With this said, I use a physical remote controller to turn on and off those lighting effects, again no additional software needed. This is my current setup imgur.com/gallery/Pw5kY4q if you want to see more, this video will explain why I dislike aRGBs or RGBs to be always on. watch till the end of this video ruclips.net/video/0qSaX_mOjQc/видео.html
Excellent video/ Would there be any reason why some of my fans dont have any lighting? I've triple checked the controller hub and everything looks secure. I'm stumped.
Hi FastEddie989, welcome to my channel, on your L-Connect. there are indication of 1 2 3 and 4 on each output. make sure they are highlighted, if not it will not light up. if that's not the issue. I would suggest you to test out one fan at a time that connects to the uni controller output. if fans does function, test out daisy chaining a fan at a time. just make sure you do not go beyond 4 fans in one daisy chain. during the chain, if the following fan does not work, swap another fan and daisy chain, as it could be due to contact issues. if that's the case, use an eraser to clean up the contact points like the illustration in this video ruclips.net/video/XxSL8VZoYRg/видео.html
Will a deepcool rgb converter work with this? I only have a 12v rgb connector, and not a 5v aRGB. Will i get full control over the fans through my mobo with this?
Hello Karl Løvendahl, welcome to my channel. I do came across this device but do not know if it works. Anyway you can don't connect that argb cable between your uni controller to the motherboard. By connecting the USB And Sata is more then sufficient to use the L-Connect to control your fans argb. If you wanted to use the motherboard argb software, I would adivse you to ask at Lian Li reddit forum here www.reddit.com/r/lianli/

Can I controller all the AL120 fans on the AIO/CPU fans with the L-Connect software aswell as the case fans? For example if I had: 2 x AIO X52 2 X GPU Galahad 240mm 2 x Front 2 x Bottom 1 x Rear Great video, thanks
Hi adv10, welcome to my channel, just a question, what's 2 x AIO X52? you mean to say you going to have 1 x Galahad AIO + 2 more NZXT Kraken X52 in a system? I am confuse with your configuration.
Hi Rafael Dias, welcome to my channel. You are most welcome. Infact is a better choice to connect the fan connector directly to your motherboard. This you will have total control of your fan speed. I will just leave the fan argb connectors to the uni controller only, which will control the lighting effects.
just to add, if you connect the 4pin pwm from the lian li SL120 to pwm header on the motherboard (without using the LIAN LI CONTROLLER). I can control PWM individually with the motherboard software. And if you purchase JST to ARGB (5v 3pin) adapter you can also plug it in to the motherboard 3pin 5v ARGB header too. with this setup you will actually control everything from the motherboard software and be able to not use the controller hence even lesser cable. provided you know what you are doing and not overload the ARGB header. Most PWM header can support up to 1A and should have no problem having 4 fans daisychaining and controlled/powered by 1 pwm header. Nice vid. Cheers.
Hi khinwai, welcome to my channel and yes, you are absolutly right. So long you know what you are doing and understand that the motherboard header limit is. Both fan and argb can connect directly to it. The only worry I have for new builders, they are not aware of this. That's why I did another video first ruclips.net/video/QQHJUQvKwlY/видео.html before this video. Thank you for your feedback and compliment. 👍
hi Father mike, welcome to my channel. do you mean the argb or the pwm settings? this is normal as the settings will kick in after windows is loaded and when your L-Connect 3 app booted up.
Hi there! Tks for your amazing video! I have a question that you might help me. I recently bought this UniFan Sl120 and an AIO Galahad 360, they are both Lian Li, and it seem’s that the Galahad fans have the same RGB connection as the unifans, they haven’t arrived yet so I can’t confirm that they are the same. But can I use the unifan controller to control both RGB fans model? I saw your video with that led strip so I’m thinking to use both sets of fans with this unit. Tks a lot!
Hi ya Alexandre Rossi, based on the manual which I have downloaded here www.lian-li.com/galahad-240-360/ , you not only can connect the Galad fans to the UNI Fan controller. you can also connect the pump argb to it too. Since I have tested the max Ampere of this unit. below is just for your reference and it will be safe if you are connecting the Galahad AIO fans and pump block. UNI Fan set 1 to 3 =============== Set 1 - 3 x SLI Fan Set 2 - 3 x Galahad Fans Set 3 - 1 x Galahad Pump Bock (Optional) Set 4 - 3 x SLI Fan or 1 x argb strip (0.5meter) .
@@KleoYan Hi there! I just received the AIO and the unifans, but the RGB fans in the AIO have 4 pin conector and the unifans and the pump are 3 pins... so I connected the pump and unifans to it’s controller and the fans for the AIO to my Mobo... TKS for your help and information!
@@alexandrerossi3553 Hi there, ok I do not have a Galahad AIO but I do have the manual downloaded. download the manual or look at the manual that comes with the box. First identify the 3pin argb daisy chain cable (Page 1 with indication Q) (Page 6-7 with indication Q) connect all three pin ARGB header of your three fans to this cable. on the other end, which leaves only one connection. connect that to your Unifan Controller. As for the fan connection on the manual it does not stat how the four pin header of the fans are daisy chained. you can plug to your motherboard for the 4 pin headers from the fan. Or if able to daisy chain it. then connect it to the only end to the Uni fan controller.
So if I have 3 sets of 3 fans I can plug them all into one hub? Also my motherboard (msi Meg z490 unify) does it come with sata cables ? I’m so confused on if it have everything I need to setup 3 sets of 3 Lian li fans
hi Will Farrell, welcome to my channel. you can plug each set of 3 fans to one output of the uni controller. as for the sata cable. it's to draw power from the PSU to your uni controller. the sata cable is provided when you purchase the box set of 3fans that comes with the uni controller.
Hi Misdom, welcome to my channel, the uni fan you have are the SL Inifinity 120 and not SL120, for SL Infinity SL120, there are two Sata connectors and yes you will need to plug both of them. you might want to refer to this video ruclips.net/video/CgvuUFeff8U/видео.html

Wait so at 11:50 u said u can remove that motherboard ARGB cable, if i do that will i still be able to use rgb on the fans through the Lian-Li software?
Hello Kevin Corrigan, welcome to my channel. Yes correct, you will still be able to operate the argb effects so long as you have usb can sata cable connected to the uni controller as the fan load and argb effects are controlled by the L-Connect application, unless you want to control the fan load and argb using your motherboard application.
@@kevincorrigan1754 there is a difference with the argb effects, if you have the fan load cable and argb cable connect between the uni controller and motherboard, you can switch between using the L-connect or to bypass and to use the motherboard app to control the argb and fans, but for fan load, it will only takes in one input pwm instruction from the motherboard header, you can't individually set the pwm fan curve to the outputs of the uni controller.
@@RohithVRHD Hi, thank you for your questions. I am afraid that you are not able to control the UNI Fan controller if the usb 2 cable is not connected between the controller and the USB 2 motherboard header. as this is required inorder for the L-Connect software to communicate with the controller. Now I have not tried this and try this at your own risk, there is a kind of USB 2 splitter which you can use and this is the link to it. www.aliexpress.com/item/4000781872823.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.6e324753wmMkDS&algo_pvid=51ab9ce4-de2b-4a78-b10b-74896bf6e380&algo_expid=51ab9ce4-de2b-4a78-b10b-74896bf6e380-1&btsid=0bb0623d16052260974315714ebb42&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_
Hi Xylph, you mean you want to connect this Uni Fan SL120 to another brand hub? you can but you need to take note of two things, 1st the argb connector, Uni Fan needs a convertor for it. 2nd just make sure your other brand argb is able to provide the current load, uni fan argb load is at 0.65a .. by the way, I would advise you to go through this video ruclips.net/video/QQHJUQvKwlY/видео.html .

Hey great video. I installed it exactly as per this video. I notice in my MObo Bios and software they aren’t showing the SYS_FAN1 RPM. Is that as expected? Everything else is working as per your video. Just curious why the BIOS and hardware monitoring apps don’t register the RPM of my fans connected?
Hi Carl Russo, welcome to my channel. yes it reacts that way, unless you bypass the fan load connection on the uni controller and plug directly to the motherboard fan header. that will allows your motherboard to controller your fans rpm and to be detected by hardware monitoring apps. hope that answer your question. thank you!
My question is that what if you're connection the uni fans to an aio cooler. The motherboard has a independent cpu cooler fan header and cpu pump port. Should I connect the fan header for the fans on the aio to the motherboard and have the argb still connected to the controller?
Hi Sharif Moussa, thank you for the question. you can leave the fan header to the Uni Fan controller. all you need is to plug the pwm connector from the uni fan controller to your motherboard fan header (the one which you can set PWM function) so on your uni fan controller, you can select the input set (lets say it's #1), just set it to PWM and it will follow your motherboard settings. Hope I've answered your question. Once again, thank you for your question and to have subscribe to my channel :)
@@CMore_ nope it will not.. let me give you an example Fans plug to Uni Fan Controller - Input 1 to 4 ======================================= All Input fans are set to Quiet : Aio Fans - Input 1 (#1) Top Fans - Input 2 (#2) Botton Fans - Input 3 (#3) Rear Fans - Input 4 (4) (Plus PWM cable is connected to the motherboard) If you select Input 1 (#1) to PWM on the L-Connect software, only Input 1 will ramp up based on the temperature readings on the motherboard as the PWM Cable is connected between the Uni controller to the motherboard. The rest (Input 2 to 4) will not ramp up as the settings on the Uni Fan is on Quiet and not PWM hope this answer your question. thank you once again for the question, Happy New Year by the way.
Hello. I have 9 sl fans and i connected all of them to the controller and put the pwm cable in the cpu fan header. After that only 3 of them light up and when i bot my system i get cpu fan erorr and i went to the bios and it says i dont have any fans only the aio pump. Can you help me
Hello Zecrod, welcome to my channel. maybe you should try this to have better control over your fans. 1st leave the fan's argb connected on the uni controller. This is to control the argb effects using L-Connect app. 2nd, unplug the fan load and plug them directly to the motherboard fan header, use your motherboard to control the PWM and RPM of your fans. example Top 3 fans - connect to fan header Chassis Fan 1 Bottom 3 fans - connect to fan header Chassis Fan 2 Rear 1 fan - connect to fan header Chassis 3. the above is just an illustration.
Hi Reaper Reapz, welcome to my channel, there might be some slight differences as this is due to where you place the fans. There might be restriction of air, thats why it's different but the difference should not be greater than 150rpm away from each, using the same profile.
Hi HawkEye1194, the reason I have stated that is, if motherboard which required to tweak fun curve using applications instead through the motherboard bios/uefi, it will require two passes before the fans will react. 1st the motherboard utility program and 2nd the L-connect program. Now if you asked me do I use these uni fans. my answer to you is no. I did most of the uni controller videos are mainly because a friend of mine bought the uni fans and other of my friends follow. they were having issues with it, therefore trying to help them, I figured if I learn something from these uni fans or the controller, I will share it with those who are having issue. Now, just additional info, I personally do not like argbs at all, abit of rgb will be ok and I have to ensure that they can be off at all times. this is my current setup ruclips.net/video/0qSaX_mOjQc/видео.html or imgur.com/gallery/Pw5kY4q My setup is pretty straight forward, I choose performance and detailed aesthetic compared to just showing so much lighting effects and these are my reason. 1st argb if you always have it turn on, they will burn out fast.. with one LED burn out.. the whole argb will not work. 2nd no additional software needed, therefore your PC will be happier with one background process off 3rd be it argb, rgb or ultra led, it produce heat inside your case. it might not produce alot but still you will be making your cooling AIO fans or case fans to work harder, causing a) more power consumption b) increase noise operation c) more messy cables for cable management which does affect cooling. the above are just some of my explanation. if you want to know more in-depth of my thoughts, we can discuss this via email at godzylatech@gmail.com thank you!
Hey there! Very nice and informative video. i have a question tho hopefully you can help me out. i would like to run a single one of those fans as an exhaust fan in my case so the sinlge pack fan would be all i need, but if i do so there is no controller included, would it still be possible to control the rgb of the lian li fan when directly connected to the motheroard and would it then work with asus aura sync too? if not would there be an alternative? Preferably white. I am planning to mainly use white rog parts so it would be nice to have it all matched and in sync. Sry for asking so much i am kinda new to all this :D. Thanks a lot anyways!
Hello Player 1230, am glad that you have asked this question and thank you. Yes you can connect this fan to your motherboard but you will need a converter for this. this is what you need, a 1 to 1, Male 5V 3pin (SM3P Male), select the first one under the 1 to 1 selection box from this online shop www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001598378033.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000060.2.344b4657tCcaOI&gps-id=pcDetailBottomMoreThisSeller&scm=1007.13339.169870.0&scm_id=1007.13339.169870.0&scm-url=1007.13339.169870.0&pvid=34cd9f4a-0d0f-45a1-aa3f-ed53f9d39150&_t=gps-id%3ApcDetailBottomMoreThisSeller%2Cscm-url%3A1007.13339.169870.0%2Cpvid%3A34cd9f4a-0d0f-45a1-aa3f-ed53f9d39150%2Ctpp_buckets%3A668%230%23131923%2386_668%23808%233772%23842_668%23888%233325%2312_668%234328%2319928%23313_668%232846%238112%23517_668%232717%237559%2387_668%231000022185%231000066058%230_668%233468%2315612%23330. now please note. one uni SL 120 fan is not an issue but if you intend to do more. please check how much ampere your motherboard can provide. hope this help answer your question.

My problem is that I don't have a free USB2 header and I really want them to light up is there a way that I can connect the controller and use the mobo software?
Hello Kotaka, welcome to my channel. if your motherboard has only one USB 2.0 header. you can get this splitter nzxt.com/product/internal-usb-hub-gen-3 which I have maked use of in this video. ruclips.net/video/hZpzR_4917c/видео.html
@@KotakaSRT so long as you are getting a internal that has a sata power plug to the internal hub before plugging to your motherboard USB header. It’s good to go.
Hi Kleo. This is an old video and i hope you’ll see this comment and reply. I recently got these fans. I connected everything accordingly, usb, argb and the fan connector from the hub to the CHA_FAN on my mobo. However, when i go into BIOS, my chasis fans show up as “n/a”. Is there a solution to this?
Hello Farhan Shahriar, welcome to my channel. that's normal as your readings will be shown on L-Connect application. if you want it to show in your bios or uefi, connect the fan load directly to the motherboard fan header instead of going through the uni controller..
@@KleoYan Thank you so much Kleo. I have figured a solution to this. It is to get a 4 pin splitter and connect 1 fan directly into one end of the splitter and the controller to the end of the splitter and voila. The chasis fans now show up in bios. Thank you again for your reply :)
I'm a year late to the party, and your video definitely helped me a lot on my recent build! Thank you very much Kleo! I have currently 3 groups of Lianli Unifans (6 fans in total) connecting to the Unihub. However I have another 3-pin case fan hanging around. I'm wondering if I could connect the 3-pin into the PWM slot of the 4th unused group on the Unihub? and leave the ARGB slot empty?
Hi Xwchannel , welcome to my channel, yup you can plug it in but that fan might run fullspeed at all times.. once again thank you to have visited my channel and all the best with your build.
@@KleoYan Appreciate your guidance on this! So does that mean the PWM port on the Unihub is compatible with fans from any other brands no matter its 3/4pin? I may want to purchase a 4pin Arctics F14 to replace my case fan just in case it gets too loud so I could control the speed.
@@XwChannel for 3 pin, you can plug to it no issue but for 4pin PWM , there is a restriction as your L-Connect has profile which are meant for either SL or AL fans, which is base on the controller. if you get the Arctic F14 which is a PWM fan, the profile you select on L-Connect which is full .. high and etc.. thats according the SL or AL fan and not for your F14. you still can use it, it's just that it's not at its full potential.
@@KleoYan Got it! Lianli's SL are pretty expensive. I was trying to look into cheaper fans since that will be hidden at the bottom of my case purely for intake purposes and have seen your recommendation about Arctic series. I guess I'll just stick with the current case fans first. If needed in future I will get some better fans and a splitter instead. Thanks man!
@@XwChannel Hi, honestly speaking, if you want my opinion. though I have done lots of content about these SL and AL fans, personally I don't use them. I am just curious how they work. my own personal pc. I make use of P12 Arctic PWM PST CO fans or the Nidec Gentle Typhoon 1850rpm fans. I prefer performance over argb, but I don't mind some light effects.. this was my rig at year 2021 imgur.com/gallery/Pw5kY4q. now I have change to use the Q58 SFX Case. and it's without any rgb or argb lightings.
Hey kleo, I've managed to setup the unifan hub! I have plugged in the Unifan hub into a chassis header on my motherboard, but when I set the fans to PWM, the fans spin at full speed. Any idea?
Hi Kevin, welcome to my channel. you might want to check in your bios, if the fan header that you plug between the uni controller and your motherboard fan header, was it set to PWM mode and not DC or Auto. thank you!
Hello ekace33, welcome to my channel. yup you can set respective profile on L-Connect and if you want fan curve. you have to set on your motherboard UEFI fan curve first. please note, you only able to set one fan connect fan curve and whatever fans that are attached to the Uni controller, be it output 1 2 3 and 4, all will follow the same curve. if you want it differently, I suggest you plug those sets of fans to the respective fan headers, make use of your motherboard uefi or fan ultility to control the PWM fan curve individually.
@@KleoYan well, thx a lot for your really fast answer. i plugged in everything correctly but my uefi bios under q-fan control can't find my system fans and so i can't set up an individually fan-curve. i am totally fine when the fan speed for all fans are the same. i control 2x3 fans and 1x1 fan with the SL-controller. PSU, USB and 3 Groups.
Great video I was wondering I just finished building my pc my uni rgb lights not working do I need to have the software downloaded before the rgb lights will come on?
Hi Maurice, welcome to my channel, it should light up with default rainbow effect even if you do not have the software L-Connect installed. if it does not, try download the application, install it and reboot your system. if it still does not light up. I would advise you to check your cable connection of your unit.
To use my synapse controlled lighting with the Lian-Li fans I had to set up the L-Connect to turn on when the system starts and then automate it to turn off a minute later otherwise the fans would just stay in rainbow and wouldn't pass control over to the motherboard and synapse etc
Hello Metatron, welcome to my channel. thank you for sharing your experience and insight of how to make use of these uni fans on Razer Chroma argb controller. greatly appreciated this. 😉
Hi Oblivion, welcome to my channel. I believe you are asking if this apply the same to AL120. yes, it apply the same. AL and SL are both of the same structure.
Hi Ernestoxx, welcome to my channel, this uni controller does handle 16 fans but please note that each output will only support 4 fans.

So, if I have 9 fans, 3 for AIO, galahad 360, how would I connect it? Would I connect the pwm to cpu fan header and then USB and switch the 3 fans that are on the AIO to pwm?
Hi Alex G. Thank you for your question. This is just my opinion. Galahad AIO pump directly to CPU fan header full speed 3 x SL120 for the Galahad. connect to Output 1 of the uni controller (set on L-Connect to pwm) 3 x SL120 connect to output 2 of uni fan controller (Set L-Connect to control the rpm as you desire) 3 x SL120 connect to output 3 of the uni fan controller (set L-connect to control the rpm as you desire) That will be my opinion.

@@__Grig__ yup. Correct and since u can only have one pwm curve as based on the specific fan header to be plug at. Make use of the pwm for your Galahad. The rest just use the L-Connect to controller them.
@@KleoYan perfect. And then I use the motherboard software to controll the curve for the cpu right? Sorry for all these questions. This is my first build and so far, the fans are my worst nightmare
@@__Grig__ correct. And if you unsure how to do the pwm settings on your motherboard in order to control through the L-Connect. This might aid you ruclips.net/video/8l4i5UjO3es/видео.html it’s quite near the end of the video
Is there a way to have the fans be set to motherboard rgb profile on startup? When ever I turn on my pc, it goes back to default rainbow. The controller has an aRGB connector to motherboard so there should be a way to set it up so it starts up with onboard memory instead of default to usb and l connect right
Even when I turn on motherboard software connect, and set rgb on my motherboard software, the fans go back to rainbow when I turn off and on. I tried having l connect run on startup but it still does rainbow until I go into software and apply change
@@LOCNL0ADED hi guapo, as what I did for my friend is to load the profile saved.

i got a feeling what im about to ask wont be possible but can you sync the unifan(sys1) speed to the cpu fan speed so they run in tandem at the same speed but still able to use l-connect to control rgb? the problem with l-connect motherboard sync is once i activate it i lose control of the rgb and it doesnt show on the msi dragon software so no way of control it once MB sync is on
Hi krayzie egg, welcome to my channel. you don't have to switch fully to motherboard mode. you can leave that alone, all is needed is to set on L-Connect, the fan section to PWM. then allowing the effects controlled via the L-Connect application. I hope this is what you wanted. to be honest, I would rather just plug those fans on the motherboard fan header and fully use the L-Connect to control the argb effects only.
Hello man thanks for video ! I need to only use 9 fans with L connect, should I need to connect the pwm and rgb connector on mobo WITH usb? Or only Usb is good ?
Hi Walle, you can just plug the usb alone, if you don't intend to use the PWM or aRGB mode on your motherboard. as for your 9 fans, just make sure you only chain 3 fans (max4) to each input to the unifan controller. Thanks for revisiting and if you have any other questions, feel free to pop by and I will try my best to answer them.
Thank you so much for the time you spend keeping us in the know when we encounter problems, you and the provoked prawn are absolute heroes buddy. I’ve got a full Corsair setup, 6 fans and the Capellix elite 150i with 4 rgb strips hidden away, I have just bought 6 sl120 fans and a kraken z73 so I change the whole led system out but I have a concern and a question my friend and that is can I connect my 4 Corsair 5v a rgb strips to the pian-li controller? I have also ordered the 24 pin strimer plus and believe that has a control box too so can I connect to that? I really would like to keep the light strips operating and functional if possible. Thank you so much in advance for any insights you can offer buddy, I’ve tried looking through google to see if I can answer my question with no luck. Enjoy the rest of your week my friend and thanks again 👍👊
Hi Chris Harris, welcome to my channel and thank you for your compliments. I do not know how the Corsair argb strips looks like as in the connector but for SL Fans.. you can use this as a reference. you just need the correct connectors ruclips.net/video/njlkdM9lYbI/видео.html as four your Kraken z73 if that's the one which allows you to do customizer LCD display, you will need another USB header from the motherboard. for your corsair strips. you should be able to connect to the uni controller only if you find the correct convertor. but please place only 2 strips to one output of the uni controller and not more. else you might burn your unit.
@@KleoYan thanks so much for your prompt reply buddy, I’m wondering if it might just be easier when I swap out the AIO and fans that I leave one of my Corsair commander pro boxes in situ and that way I can still use and operate the strips via icue but obviously will not be able to sync them up with the fans but as I said at least I can still leave all 4 in situ and working to a decent degree. Buddy, I’m an idiot, I have 2 lian -li control boxes, I could dedicate 1 controller to the strips and the other to the fans , I’ll check first that L-connect provide a music mode type effect for the strips as I use 2 strips vertically as audio level indicators (green, amber, red,), providing I can replicate that I’ll swap the entire rgb system out. Thanks again mate I really appreciate your time, knowledge, and input. 👍👊 Thanks again Kleo 👍👊
@@chrisharris5497 you are most welcome. I have limited knowledge not alot. plus I am only able to answer you on Uni controllers. speaking about the music mode, L-Connect does not have this mode.
Hi phillyman36, welcome and am not sure if you did read the other reply which you have posted on my other video. shall reply again :) .. yes you will need to leave the program running, you can set this program to run at auto start when you boot up windows and to leave it on your background (lower right taskbar) to run the L-connect as it will trigger the settings you have done. once again thank you for your question and to have visit my channel.

Hi The Turtle, welcome to my channel. for the moment you are able to only use 1 controller but I would advise you to get 2 x 3 pack unifans with the controller each. 1 controller to use and another to keep as spare. Plus on lian-li website, it did mentioned that in future you can use 2 controller instead of one. read this page for more info lian-li.com/product/uni-fan-sl/
Hi Bo-Jassim, welcome to my channel, have you try on that single fan that is not working properly, directly to the motherboard fan header? play with the motherboard fan header curve to see if the fan reacts properly? It might be just the daisy chain is lose. If direct plug still having an issue, I would advise you to do a RMA with lian li to have your fan replace.
opps.. did I miss your question here. so sorry. do not worry, you will be able to use the hub to control the argb or your fans. not an issue, just make sure to connect the usb cable to your hub and to your motherboard.

I have two cpu pwm headers on my mobo: CPU_FAN (fan header) and CPU_OPT (water cooling fan header). On my AIO, I plan to use 2 Lian-Li's AL120 fans that I will connect to the controller. I will also have another 4 case fans (also AL120's) connected to the same controller. Is it okay to connect the controller pwm to the CPU_OPT header, considering I have AIO fans plus case fans connected to the same controller?
Hi magno, welcome to my channel, I suggest you to connect. it this way. for AIO pump and fans.. plug your AIO pump directly to CPU_OPT (set to full speed) then plug your radiator AL120 fans to the CPU_FAN, this way you know that those fans will react upon the temperate of your CPU. make sure in UEFI / Bios you have set CPU_FAN to pwm, you can set your own fan curve or to use the profile, example Normal, Performance, Quiet and ETC. as for CPU_OPT set to full. as for the AL120 argb, connect it to the uni controller. the reason to do this. incase of the uni-controller or L-connect application goes wrong, at least your CPU pump and AL120 on the radiator will still be working as it's following direct orders / commands from your motherboard. as for the rest of the AL120 (Case fans) you can plug all to the uni controller and control the fans using the L-Connect or you can bypass and to use motherboard pwm settings to control your fans, just make sure that the pwm cable is connected between the uni controller and to your motherboard fan header (example ChassisFan1) and please make sure that in UEFI, example ChassisFan1 is set to pwm with the fan profile (Normal, Performance, Quiet and ETC)

Hi lelmeister. Thank you for revisiting. Do you mean to say to totally off that particular set or? If it is, you can just set brightness to zero and that set of argb will not light up. But if you are saying to let it run but not interfering the rest by disabling it. Then I have no idea how to do that.
Hi Matheus Longhi, thank you for your question. yes you can just use the control unit without plugin the argb cable to your motherboard. it will work fine. just make sure you connect the USB cable from this unit to your motherboard USB 2.0 header will do.

Hi Kenneth which 360 AIO are you using and are they argb, for argb so long is 5v and it's argb you can connect to the controller but you might need a converter if it's not a lian li Galahad AIO. and for AIO pump, you will need to connect to the motherboard CPU fan header.. make sure to set full speed. as I do not encourage others to run AIO pump on PWM. you will damage the pump.
@@KleoYan Hi Kleo, I am using a Aorus 360 Liquid Cooler. I plan on taking off the aorus fans and installing the Lian Li Sl120 fans on them. Okay this is my first time using an aio. So I want to connect the AIO itself to the fan pump. How about the SL120 fans themselves?
Kenneth, I can understand you are excited and all, can you calm down lol... contact me at godzylatech@gmail.com .. let me pass you a link to whatsapp. as a quick answer, yes AIO pump to the CPU 1 fan header and make sure is set to full speed, the rest of the SL120 fans you can chain them and then plug it to the Uni Fan controller. thank you!.
Hi Secret Phantom, welcome to my channel. if you intend to control the fan rpm and argb effect only using the uni controller, all is needed is just the USB 2.0 cable (data source) and Sata (power source) to be plug.

@kleo yan. I have two sets of fans with controllers. I cant get them to work I've tried both. once I have them connected to the board using USB I can control them in the lian li app. I've used to motherboard MSI and Asus. I even used the MSI fix still a no-go. have you ran into this problem? if so how did you fix it?
Hi klust26, nope, I have never run into issues as am not using MSI nore Asus board, plus am not using AMD. you might want to try this ruclips.net/video/8l4i5UjO3es/видео.html or approach lian-li tech support on this. There are news on the internet that AMD zen 2 or zen 3 are having USB issues and there will be a fix on this. some of my viewers just remove off the asus crate and msi dragon application just to use this uni controller. so hope that helps and do note not to use the L-Connect 2.0 if you did download that before lian-li remove the entire project till further notice.
@@KleoYan thank you for the info. Yes I have got I. Contact with lian li as well. It's so frustrating I got them to work one time with my MSI and then never again. I'll wait for the fix
So by utilizing the hub, u can control each groups fan curve meaning if you have 12 fans( 4 groups of 3), do all fans have to run at the same speed or can u do 6 slow and 6 fast or whatever rpm u set them to? U can’t set them one by one but u can set a group?
hi Allen Sostan, welcome to my channel, I will try to put this as simple as possible. 1st situatio, if you did plug the PWM fan connector from the uni controller to your motherboard. It will take only that PWM curve you have set. All your four output on your uni fan will only read that PWM. Of course you need to set on L-Connect as PWM. 2nd situation. same as above but this time you do not plug the PWM cable from your uni controller to the motherboard. you can manually set each set of output to the fix RPM that you wanted via the L-Connect application. No PWM function. hope that helps. If you do like my content, remember to subscribe and to click on the notification bell, thank you very much!
Just got a PC that has these fans, I want to change the color but have my motherboard control the fan speed. But when I start L-connect and set it to PWM the fans go full speed and stay there.
Hi Mike, welcome to my channel. You might want to check in your bios to see if you have set that specific fan header which you have connect a cable between the uni controller to the motherboard. Make sure it’s set to pwm mode and not dc mode.
Can i plug the pwm cable to the cpu fan header so i can get better cooling for the cpu becuase im connecting all of my fans to the hub even my aio fans ?
Hi Zecrod, welcome to my channel. yes you can do that. in my video I have illustrated the connection using the PWM cable provided in this unit, just plug that cable between the uni controller and the motherboard CPU_Fan header, make sure in UEFI, that header is set to PWM. Next on your L-Connect, select the fan set where you to PWM under the fan selection.
Hi mohammed al-khashti, welcome to my channel. You can connect all to the uni controller but the pump connector to the motherboard. This will show you how I connect ruclips.net/video/XNCAeAX0mZQ/видео.html or even here ruclips.net/video/njlkdM9lYbI/видео.html
I'm going to have a total of 6 Uni fans going through this controller. I also have 3 regular non-RGB fans that came with my AIO that I want to use for exhaust. Can I wire those regular fans together and run them through the controller?
Hi John Waugh, thank you for the question. you could but i would not advise that. Reason being, this controller calibrates the SL120 and SL140 fans which the RPM is at 800 - 1800 rpms and these fans kick starts at 6volts. if your fan kick starts at 7volts, it might not even start at low rpm and if your the RPM might be slightly different. but the choice is yours. you can give it a try. just that the RPMs set for your non-RGB fans might not run as the speed you wanted. once again thank you for your question and to have visit my channel.

Great vids, so if I connect all my fans to l connect and select pwm on the fans that are on my radiator, I can select fan curve on the motherboard and only those fans will adjust to the cpu temp and the other fans will stay on low for example, is that right.
Hi Lee Stroud, welcome to my channel and yes that's correct. provided that your UFEI or Bios of your motherboard is set to PWM mode on that cable which you have connect between the uni controller to the motherboard.
@@stretchybwoy Hi,that's good to hear. infact I would plug the radiator fans directly to the motherboard CPU_FAN header and the AIO pump to CPU_FAN/Pump header. reason being, in the event if the uni controller fails. at least you know that your pump and radiator fans are in working condition not matter what. Then leave the case fans to the uni controller. Case fan can stop spinning but not radiator fans. thats what I normally will do for pc builds using the uni fans.
When we shut down the computer, the application cannot run automaticaly, so how to make app run automaticaly when pc start up? because after we shutdown, the rgb n fan speed run default again until we open the app
hi Rizka Al Ghazali, welcome to my channel, follow the instructions in this page lian-li.com/product/uni-fan-sl/.. scroll down and look for this subject 3. UNIFAN went back default mode after restart
Its weird . i did everything right. but im not able to control the speed of the fans. they're always at max speed. they make so much noise. changing to quiet or chaning the RPM on the lconnect app doesnt change anything on the fans ,, they just keep rolling at max speed. even if i put the rpm at 500 rpm
Hi Metan3x, welcome to my channel, before you do anything, check on Device Manager and under Universal Serial Bus Devices, do you see the uni controller/hub shown in the list? if it does not, then you won't be able to control the fans or the argb effects of the fans from L-Connect 3 app. I suggest you to go through this content. ruclips.net/video/CgvuUFeff8U/видео.htmlsi=6AQhAX2hX_dIvKlF
Can L-connect manage two hubs at the same time? I have one hub pwm connected to AIO (CPU temp - using ASUS-Qfan for fan speed) and other hub pwm connected to Chasis fan (MoBo temp).

@@jasonrobertson9099 Hi Jason, make sure your connection are hook up properly and you might want to check if your motherboard chipset is updated. ruclips.net/video/8l4i5UjO3es/видео.html now if all about were done, check to see if you have other argb application running besides your L-Connect. if you need the other argb application to run. you will need to first uninstall them using this uninstaller call revo uninstaller www.revouninstaller.com/revo-uninstaller-free-download/ then install the L-Connect app first. make sure all your SL fans are working. once done, then install the other argb application.
Hi Satory_ , welcome to my channel, yes you can do without the controller but you can't use L-Connect 3 app for the argb effects as it needs it's controller. when you daisy chain these fans and to be plug to your motherboard, please check the fan load and argb load of what your motherboard can supply. do not overload those header. for fan load, it should not be an issue if you keep the daisy chain max at 3 to 4 fans. but for ARGB, kindly check what's the ampere.
@@satoru_5228 if you go without the uni controller, you will need to connect your fans argb to your motherboard, check to see if your motherboard have the 5v argb 3 pin header. Then make use of your motherboard argb application to control the argb effects which are limited on effects
Hi! I just want to make sure, will I be able to still control the rgb lights of the fan using the software without connecting the aRGB connector to my mobo? My motherboard doesn’t have aRGB header, I only have RGB header 12V so
Hi Paul Adrian Capistrano, welcome to my channel. Yes, so long you plug the sata power source to Uni control and the USB cable between the uni controller to your motherboard USB 2.0 header, you will be able to use the L-connect application to control the argb effects.
Can you just use the L-connect software to control the fans lighting and rpm? For instance, can you just plug the controller box into the USB on the motherboard and use the controller and lian li software to control the speed of the fans and lighting. I would never use the motherboard to control the pwm nor the lighting. Thats what the L connect software is for. Basically asking if I can NOT use the argb nor the sys fan cables. thanks.
Hello Neil. Welcome to my channel. Yes you can. Just connect the USB cable from your uni controller to your motherboard USB 2.0 header and the Sata power source cable. You will be able to control the lighting effect and rpm using the L-Connect application without issue. Hope this help.

@@KleoYan thank you. Like 👍 your channel. Have you used the l connect software like the way im asking? I've used icue software like this. Corsair doesn't require anything other than a sata and USB 2.0 which is why asking. Love these fans, just wanted to make sure before I took the leap.
Hi Neil, yes. I’ve done two pc for my colleagues and have guided them on how to use it. Up and running without issues.

My Deepcool Gammax GTE RGB fan is connected to the JRGB1 on my MSI motherboard, and it starts up with my selected color that was set in Dragon Center with no problem. Any way to set these fans to do the same? Thanks
@@joesified hi as for your question, don't think is possible, you see the argb effects are done in L-Connect and this app need to be loaded when when windows starts up. I am afraid I don't have a solution for you. pardon me.
Hi, is there any way to get these fans under 800rpm? This is too loud for me. I tried noctua speed limiter but it is not working with lian li fans. I would like speed about 400-500 rpm. 🙁
Hi Peter Juracka, welcome to my channel. I have yet to try setting at that low rpm. You can try connecting those set of fans directly to your motherboard fan header and control them using the motherboard utility fan curve. So far I am only able to get it run at 600 but not anything lower.
Hi Kleo I've installed all of my various lian li parts and connected them to the unifan controller, they are all receiving power as they are spinning / in the default ARGG rainbow mode but no matter what I do I can't get the software in L-Connect to work, it doesn't change the colour and the fan speeds aren't showing, any ideas?
Hi Adam, welcome back, which motherboard are you using. if you are using any motherboard software, I would advise you to uninstall it along with the L-Connect. turn off your pc, disconnect the cable that connects the fan and argb between the Uni controller and motherboard header. then startup your PC, reinstall L-connect using administrative rights. Then try to see if your fans react to what you have controlled on L-Connect. there are reports stated that due to motherboard application that took over the usb rights, therefore your L-Connect lose the rights to control your fans and argb effects.
My AIO doesn't even turn on. Never mind the RGB. None of the Lian Li related parts in my PC do anything except the case fans, which have no RGB but at least spin.
Hi Kleo, im planning to connect 9 unifan for my new pc build. When I checked on my motherboard there are two kinds of header, one is 1A (CHA_FAN1/2/3)and the other is 3A (H_AMP). Is it safe to plug the unifan controller to any fan header on the motherboard (x570 asus dark hero)? thank you

If I want to control 1 set of fans speed to a certain temperature and another set of fans to another temperature setting, how can I adjust them on the motherboard? L-connect doesn’t seem to have a temperature setting to regulate fan speed. You would have to adjust manually
Hi Noel Nacpil, thank you for your question. In your case, I would connect it this way as illustrated below Example you got 2 sets of SL120 (3 fans to each set) Set 1 fans and set 2 fans, ARGB connector will go the the uni fan controller, and their fan connectors will go directly to the motherboard fan headers. example Fan 1 and Fan 2 header on the motherboard, then make use of your motherboard application to do the fan curve. by doing so you can control different set and your uni fan controllers have no control over these sets for fans. hope I did reply your questions and if you like my content, kindly subscribe and to click on the notification button. thank you very much!
@@KleoYan thank you! So basically connect each set of fans directly to the 2 separate accounts fan headers instead of the unifan controller. The ARGB connector will be used only for RGB control thru L-connect
@@nnacpil yup. That’s correct. Fan rpm will be connected on motherboard fan headers (control by motherboard software) and the argb lightings will be connected to uni fan controller (controlled by uni fan controller).

HI Rob, thank you for your question. yes you can. but you need convertors to do that for the aRGB connection, but please see if your motherboard argb header for the Ampere limit and note that each SL120 fans argb load is at 0.65a, so 3 will be at 1.95a which most motherboard should be capable of. if you do 4 then you need to watch out as some motherboard argb header only support 2A. as for the Fan load, it's at 0.18a which is fine to have 3 to 4 fans daisy chained, not an issue.

Hi Ferraz, thank you for the compliment. Glad it did help you out. Now as for getting another kit which includes the UNI Fan controller. I have not tested this. it might not work. I assume that the L-Connect software is able to operate only one controller. so do take note on this.
@@KleoYan Yes, I imagine that two controllers should not work together, but here in Brazil it is more expensive to buy 3 separate fans than to buy a new kit, I will take advantage and leave the second controller and the cable set as a backup. what i think about doing is buying the phantaks led strip and plugging it into the controller, just like you demonstrated in a previous video.

now being said. you can use the uni controller with the L-Connect app to control all argb effects. you only need to plug the USB cable between the uni controller and to your motherboard USB 2.0 header. hope this help.
Nice! In the beginning there is a Button in the l connect named switch direction. Is it possible to change the turn direction of the Fans itself without turn them physically in the case?
Hi Nico H, welcome to my channel, I am so sorry to have missed your question. for the fan spin itself, you can't change the direction. you will need to physically turn them. again am sorry to reply you this late. my bad.
Your three part series on these fans were so thorough and very helpful. Made my installation a breeze. I do have a quick question though. Is it possible to hook the rbg strip from my Phanteks p500a case to the Lian Li controller?
Hi Ace, thank you for your compliment. Is this your case --> www.phanteks.com/assets/manuals/PH-EC500ATG.pdf ?
If it is, I would not advise you to do so, the case itself has a controller which either to be controlled by the case controller or to controlled by your motherboard.
Below I will hold no responsibility. The only way if you want your phanteks argb fans to work with the uni fan.
If you are familiar with argb control units, first you will need to unplug the argb cable from your case controller, then you will need to figure a way to daisy chained your argb fans and strips. using a converter which I have shown here ruclips.net/video/TIO8JxVZTi8/видео.html , plug to to the uni fan. it should work if you know how, also please take note of the led load from the fans. if unsure, do not perform this as a silly mistake might not only damage the argb control unit but might even short and damage the rest of your PC component. I have ever experience that before as I was unsure and without knowledge. I damage my whole PC just because of that.

if you purchase a Lian Li PC case with its own controller that manages the LED front light strip via a front panel button, HOW do you connect the PC case controller to the UniFan controller (motherboard>LianLi 4x UniFan Controller> LianLi PC case controller?) Or do you connect the UniFan controller last (Motherboard>>>LianLi PC case controller>>>LianLi 4x UniFan Controller?) Is the LianLi 011 DXL PC Case front panel button supposed to be able to control all ARGB lights?
HI Gary-G, welcome to my channel, can I have you to list out how many sets of fans and quantity of fans you plan to use. example below
I assume you are doing this configuration. if you are, am afraid you can't cannot the stripe to be controlled by the uni controller plus it will be overloading even if you use a splitter. it's not advisable.
Top : 3 x Unifan - Output 1
Bottom : 3 x Unifan - Output 2

Hi, i have a question i want to buy AIO galahad 360 + Uni fan hub , as well as Phanteks P500a case( It has 3 PWM D-RGB fans) , could i mix and sync fans+pump from aio with case fans through the HUB + Lian Li software? My motherboard doesn't have an ARGB header. There is not much information about using uni hub with other brands.
Hello Mark Bachilo, welcome to my channel. Motherboard that does not come with argb connectors, not an issue. I would advise you to connect all fan load to your motherboard to have total control and leave all argb on the uni controller and let L-Connect app to control the lighting effects. as for not much info about other brand fans. first you need to know what are the led rating .. please make sure is LED and not fan load.. this might aid you with it. ruclips.net/video/bMRz2KVqbjA/видео.html
Hi, I have a lian li lan cool 2 mesh performance case. I was wondering since the performance case have a fan controller what would be your advice? Use the unifan controller and front case controller separate or connect the unifan controller to the case fan controller? I'm kind of confused of what to do. Thank you for your useful videos!
Hi kevinwakoko, welcome to my channel. This really depends how you wanted to control your fans. below are the 3 options.
Option 1 - Case fan controller.
========================
All the fans are connected to the fan hub, you will only be able to control all fans running at a fix rate, be it low, mid or high.
Option 2 - Uni Controller
===================
You can choose to make use of the L-Connect app to set individual sets of fan with various RPM, example below.
Output 1 - 3 x fan (top) to run at 1000 rpm (set on L-Connect software)
Output 2 - 3 x fan (bottom) to run at 800 rpm (set on L-Connect software)
Output 3 - 2 x fan (side AIO liquid cooler) to run PWM mode depending on the motherboard connections (set on L-Connect software, under fan, set to PWM)
Output 4 - 1 x fan (rear) to run at 1800 rpm (set on L-Connect software)
Option 3 - Motherboard Fan Headers (CPU1, CPU_OPT, CHASSIS_FAN_1 and etc)
=================================================================
This will be my favorite, I can connect each set of fans to the respective motherboard fan headers and to control them either using fix RPM or PWM function.
To be honest as why I choose Option 3, cos I am not the type who likes aRGB effects. My current setup is just using performance fans and I choose to control my fans through the motherboard in UEFI/Bios. I do not need to install any additional software to control them. As for lightings effect, I only do RGB and not aRGB. With this said, I use a physical remote controller to turn on and off those lighting effects, again no additional software needed.
This is my current setup imgur.com/gallery/Pw5kY4q if you want to see more, this video will explain why I dislike aRGBs or RGBs to be always on. watch till the end of this video ruclips.net/video/0qSaX_mOjQc/видео.html
Excellent video/ Would there be any reason why some of my fans dont have any lighting? I've triple checked the controller hub and everything looks secure. I'm stumped.
Hi FastEddie989, welcome to my channel, on your L-Connect. there are indication of 1 2 3 and 4 on each output. make sure they are highlighted, if not it will not light up. if that's not the issue. I would suggest you to test out one fan at a time that connects to the uni controller output. if fans does function, test out daisy chaining a fan at a time. just make sure you do not go beyond 4 fans in one daisy chain. during the chain, if the following fan does not work, swap another fan and daisy chain, as it could be due to contact issues. if that's the case, use an eraser to clean up the contact points like the illustration in this video ruclips.net/video/XxSL8VZoYRg/видео.html
Will a deepcool rgb converter work with this? I only have a 12v rgb connector, and not a 5v aRGB. Will i get full control over the fans through my mobo with this?
Hello Karl Løvendahl, welcome to my channel. I do came across this device but do not know if it works. Anyway you can don't connect that argb cable between your uni controller to the motherboard. By connecting the USB And Sata is more then sufficient to use the L-Connect to control your fans argb. If you wanted to use the motherboard argb software, I would adivse you to ask at Lian Li reddit forum here www.reddit.com/r/lianli/
Excellent video! Top A grade, step by step instruction & details. Definitely idiot proof. Thank you very much.
Hi Biodelic, welcome to my channel and thank you for your compliment.

Hi MrBlueJK4. You are most welcome. Thank you for your feedback and welcome to my channel.
Can I controller all the AL120 fans on the AIO/CPU fans with the L-Connect software aswell as the case fans?
For example if I had:
2 x AIO X52
2 X GPU Galahad 240mm
2 x Front
2 x Bottom
1 x Rear
Great video, thanks
Hi adv10, welcome to my channel, just a question, what's 2 x AIO X52? you mean to say you going to have 1 x Galahad AIO + 2 more NZXT Kraken X52 in a system? I am confuse with your configuration.
thank you very much, I was afraid to use this kit and keep only manual control of the fans, I didn't know I could use the pWM
Hi Rafael Dias, welcome to my channel. You are most welcome. Infact is a better choice to connect the fan connector directly to your motherboard. This you will have total control of your fan speed. I will just leave the fan argb connectors to the uni controller only, which will control the lighting effects.
just to add, if you connect the 4pin pwm from the lian li SL120 to pwm header on the motherboard (without using the LIAN LI CONTROLLER). I can control PWM individually with the motherboard software. And if you purchase JST to ARGB (5v 3pin) adapter you can also plug it in to the motherboard 3pin 5v ARGB header too. with this setup you will actually control everything from the motherboard software and be able to not use the controller hence even lesser cable. provided you know what you are doing and not overload the ARGB header. Most PWM header can support up to 1A and should have no problem having 4 fans daisychaining and controlled/powered by 1 pwm header. Nice vid. Cheers.
Hi khinwai, welcome to my channel and yes, you are absolutly right. So long you know what you are doing and understand that the motherboard header limit is. Both fan and argb can connect directly to it. The only worry I have for new builders, they are not aware of this. That's why I did another video first ruclips.net/video/QQHJUQvKwlY/видео.html before this video. Thank you for your feedback and compliment. 👍
Hey question, when I boot up my pc my fans turn back to default. Do you know how to fix this?
hi Father mike, welcome to my channel. do you mean the argb or the pwm settings? this is normal as the settings will kick in after windows is loaded and when your L-Connect 3 app booted up.
Hi there! Tks for your amazing video! I have a question that you might help me. I recently bought this UniFan Sl120 and an AIO Galahad 360, they are both Lian Li, and it seem’s that the Galahad fans have the same RGB connection as the unifans, they haven’t arrived yet so I can’t confirm that they are the same. But can I use the unifan controller to control both RGB fans model? I saw your video with that led strip so I’m thinking to use both sets of fans with this unit. Tks a lot!
Hi ya Alexandre Rossi, based on the manual which I have downloaded here www.lian-li.com/galahad-240-360/ , you not only can connect the Galad fans to the UNI Fan controller. you can also connect the pump argb to it too.
Since I have tested the max Ampere of this unit. below is just for your reference and it will be safe if you are connecting the Galahad AIO fans and pump block.
UNI Fan set 1 to 3
===============
Set 1 - 3 x SLI Fan
Set 2 - 3 x Galahad Fans
Set 3 - 1 x Galahad Pump Bock
(Optional)
Set 4 - 3 x SLI Fan or 1 x argb strip (0.5meter) .
@@KleoYan Hi there! I just received the AIO and the unifans, but the RGB fans in the AIO have 4 pin conector and the unifans and the pump are 3 pins... so I connected the pump and unifans to it’s controller and the fans for the AIO to my Mobo... TKS for your help and information!
@@alexandrerossi3553 Hi there, ok I do not have a Galahad AIO but I do have the manual downloaded. download the manual or look at the manual that comes with the box.
First identify the 3pin argb daisy chain cable (Page 1 with indication Q)
(Page 6-7 with indication Q) connect all three pin ARGB header of your three fans to this cable. on the other end, which leaves only one connection. connect that to your Unifan Controller.
As for the fan connection on the manual it does not stat how the four pin header of the fans are daisy chained. you can plug to your motherboard for the 4 pin headers from the fan. Or if able to daisy chain it. then connect it to the only end to the Uni fan controller.
So if I have 3 sets of 3 fans I can plug them all into one hub? Also my motherboard (msi Meg z490 unify) does it come with sata cables ? I’m so confused on if it have everything I need to setup 3 sets of 3 Lian li fans
hi Will Farrell, welcome to my channel. you can plug each set of 3 fans to one output of the uni controller. as for the sata cable. it's to draw power from the PSU to your uni controller. the sata cable is provided when you purchase the box set of 3fans that comes with the uni controller.
Why does my fan controller have 2 sata power connectors coming out of it? They are built in i cant disonnect 1. Do i need to connect both to the psu?
Hi Misdom, welcome to my channel, the uni fan you have are the SL Inifinity 120 and not SL120, for SL Infinity SL120, there are two Sata connectors and yes you will need to plug both of them. you might want to refer to this video ruclips.net/video/CgvuUFeff8U/видео.html
Thank you for this video. You answered all my questions! 👍👍👍

Wait so at 11:50 u said u can remove that motherboard ARGB cable, if i do that will i still be able to use rgb on the fans through the Lian-Li software?
Hello Kevin Corrigan, welcome to my channel. Yes correct, you will still be able to operate the argb effects so long as you have usb can sata cable connected to the uni controller as the fan load and argb effects are controlled by the L-Connect application, unless you want to control the fan load and argb using your motherboard application.
@@KleoYan Whats the difference? Isn't the motherboard one more generic? I feel like the L-connect is more specialized for the fans prolly.
@@kevincorrigan1754 there is a difference with the argb effects, if you have the fan load cable and argb cable connect between the uni controller and motherboard, you can switch between using the L-connect or to bypass and to use the motherboard app to control the argb and fans, but for fan load, it will only takes in one input pwm instruction from the motherboard header, you can't individually set the pwm fan curve to the outputs of the uni controller.
nice video, btw i have question. i dont have any usb 2.0 header free, so how can i connect my 6 uni fans to motherboard? motherboard has argb header.
means can i use it without the usb option?
@@RohithVRHD Hi, thank you for your questions. I am afraid that you are not able to control the UNI Fan controller if the usb 2 cable is not connected between the controller and the USB 2 motherboard header. as this is required inorder for the L-Connect software to communicate with the controller.
Now I have not tried this and try this at your own risk, there is a kind of USB 2 splitter which you can use and this is the link to it. www.aliexpress.com/item/4000781872823.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.6e324753wmMkDS&algo_pvid=51ab9ce4-de2b-4a78-b10b-74896bf6e380&algo_expid=51ab9ce4-de2b-4a78-b10b-74896bf6e380-1&btsid=0bb0623d16052260974315714ebb42&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_
Hey there, loved the video! I wanted to know if I could use one fan and connect it to a fan hub, or do I have to buy the lian li controller?
Hi Xylph, you mean you want to connect this Uni Fan SL120 to another brand hub? you can but you need to take note of two things, 1st the argb connector, Uni Fan needs a convertor for it. 2nd just make sure your other brand argb is able to provide the current load, uni fan argb load is at 0.65a .. by the way, I would advise you to go through this video ruclips.net/video/QQHJUQvKwlY/видео.html .

Hey great video. I installed it exactly as per this video. I notice in my MObo Bios and software they aren’t showing the SYS_FAN1 RPM. Is that as expected?
Everything else is working as per your video. Just curious why the BIOS and hardware monitoring apps don’t register the RPM of my fans connected?
Hi Carl Russo, welcome to my channel. yes it reacts that way, unless you bypass the fan load connection on the uni controller and plug directly to the motherboard fan header. that will allows your motherboard to controller your fans rpm and to be detected by hardware monitoring apps. hope that answer your question. thank you!
My question is that what if you're connection the uni fans to an aio cooler. The motherboard has a independent cpu cooler fan header and cpu pump port. Should I connect the fan header for the fans on the aio to the motherboard and have the argb still connected to the controller?
Hi Sharif Moussa, thank you for the question. you can leave the fan header to the Uni Fan controller. all you need is to plug the pwm connector from the uni fan controller to your motherboard fan header (the one which you can set PWM function) so on your uni fan controller, you can select the input set (lets say it's #1), just set it to PWM and it will follow your motherboard settings. Hope I've answered your question. Once again, thank you for your question and to have subscribe to my channel :)
@@KleoYan would that ramp up all the fan on the hub based on cpu temp?
@@CMore_ nope it will not.. let me give you an example
Fans plug to Uni Fan Controller - Input 1 to 4
=======================================
All Input fans are set to Quiet :
Aio Fans - Input 1 (#1)
Top Fans - Input 2 (#2)
Botton Fans - Input 3 (#3)
Rear Fans - Input 4 (4)
(Plus PWM cable is connected to the motherboard)
If you select Input 1 (#1) to PWM on the L-Connect software, only Input 1 will ramp up based on the temperature readings on the motherboard as the PWM Cable is connected between the Uni controller to the motherboard.
The rest (Input 2 to 4) will not ramp up as the settings on the Uni Fan is on Quiet and not PWM
hope this answer your question.
thank you once again for the question, Happy New Year by the way.
Hello. I have 9 sl fans and i connected all of them to the controller and put the pwm cable in the cpu fan header. After that only 3 of them light up and when i bot my system i get cpu fan erorr and i went to the bios and it says i dont have any fans only the aio pump. Can you help me
Hello Zecrod, welcome to my channel. maybe you should try this to have better control over your fans. 1st leave the fan's argb connected on the uni controller. This is to control the argb effects using L-Connect app. 2nd, unplug the fan load and plug them directly to the motherboard fan header, use your motherboard to control the PWM and RPM of your fans. example
Top 3 fans - connect to fan header Chassis Fan 1
Bottom 3 fans - connect to fan header Chassis Fan 2
Rear 1 fan - connect to fan header Chassis 3.
the above is just an illustration.
Hi, is it normal for the RPM on each ports fans to not be matching in speeds?
Hi Reaper Reapz, welcome to my channel, there might be some slight differences as this is due to where you place the fans. There might be restriction of air, thats why it's different but the difference should not be greater than 150rpm away from each, using the same profile.
Why do you recommend the fans going through the lian li controller rather than the bios?
Hi HawkEye1194, the reason I have stated that is, if motherboard which required to tweak fun curve using applications instead through the motherboard bios/uefi, it will require two passes before the fans will react. 1st the motherboard utility program and 2nd the L-connect program. Now if you asked me do I use these uni fans. my answer to you is no. I did most of the uni controller videos are mainly because a friend of mine bought the uni fans and other of my friends follow. they were having issues with it, therefore trying to help them, I figured if I learn something from these uni fans or the controller, I will share it with those who are having issue.
Now, just additional info, I personally do not like argbs at all, abit of rgb will be ok and I have to ensure that they can be off at all times. this is my current setup ruclips.net/video/0qSaX_mOjQc/видео.html or imgur.com/gallery/Pw5kY4q
My setup is pretty straight forward, I choose performance and detailed aesthetic compared to just showing so much lighting effects and these are my reason.
1st argb if you always have it turn on, they will burn out fast.. with one LED burn out.. the whole argb will not work.
2nd no additional software needed, therefore your PC will be happier with one background process off
3rd be it argb, rgb or ultra led, it produce heat inside your case. it might not produce alot but still you will be making your cooling AIO fans or case fans to work harder, causing a) more power consumption b) increase noise operation c) more messy cables for cable management which does affect cooling.
the above are just some of my explanation. if you want to know more in-depth of my thoughts, we can discuss this via email at godzylatech@gmail.com thank you!
@@KleoYan thanks man!
@@HawkEye1194 you are most welcome
Hey there! Very nice and informative video. i have a question tho hopefully you can help me out. i would like to run a single one of those fans as an exhaust fan in my case so the sinlge pack fan would be all i need, but if i do so there is no controller included, would it still be possible to control the rgb of the lian li fan when directly connected to the motheroard and would it then work with asus aura sync too? if not would there be an alternative?

I have currently 3 groups of Lianli Unifans (6 fans in total) connecting to the Unihub.
However I have another 3-pin case fan hanging around.
I'm wondering if I could connect the 3-pin into the PWM slot of the 4th unused group on the Unihub? and leave the ARGB slot empty?
Hi Xwchannel , welcome to my channel, yup you can plug it in but that fan might run fullspeed at all times.. once again thank you to have visited my channel and all the best with your build.
@@KleoYan Appreciate your guidance on this! So does that mean the PWM port on the Unihub is compatible with fans from any other brands no matter its 3/4pin? I may want to purchase a 4pin Arctics F14 to replace my case fan just in case it gets too loud so I could control the speed.
@@XwChannel for 3 pin, you can plug to it no issue but for 4pin PWM , there is a restriction as your L-Connect has profile which are meant for either SL or AL fans, which is base on the controller. if you get the Arctic F14 which is a PWM fan, the profile you select on L-Connect which is full .. high and etc.. thats according the SL or AL fan and not for your F14. you still can use it, it's just that it's not at its full potential.
@@KleoYan Got it! Lianli's SL are pretty expensive. I was trying to look into cheaper fans since that will be hidden at the bottom of my case purely for intake purposes and have seen your recommendation about Arctic series. I guess I'll just stick with the current case fans first. If needed in future I will get some better fans and a splitter instead. Thanks man!
@@XwChannel Hi, honestly speaking, if you want my opinion. though I have done lots of content about these SL and AL fans, personally I don't use them. I am just curious how they work. my own personal pc. I make use of P12 Arctic PWM PST CO fans or the Nidec Gentle Typhoon 1850rpm fans. I prefer performance over argb, but I don't mind some light effects.. this was my rig at year 2021 imgur.com/gallery/Pw5kY4q. now I have change to use the Q58 SFX Case. and it's without any rgb or argb lightings.
Hey kleo, I've managed to setup the unifan hub! I have plugged in the Unifan hub into a chassis header on my motherboard, but when I set the fans to PWM, the fans spin at full speed. Any idea?
Hi Kevin, welcome to my channel. you might want to check in your bios, if the fan header that you plug between the uni controller and your motherboard fan header, was it set to PWM mode and not DC or Auto. thank you!
You said l-connect is enough to control the fans. What is about controlling the fan-Curve with l- connect software?
Hello ekace33, welcome to my channel. yup you can set respective profile on L-Connect and if you want fan curve. you have to set on your motherboard UEFI fan curve first. please note, you only able to set one fan connect fan curve and whatever fans that are attached to the Uni controller, be it output 1 2 3 and 4, all will follow the same curve. if you want it differently, I suggest you plug those sets of fans to the respective fan headers, make use of your motherboard uefi or fan ultility to control the PWM fan curve individually.
@@KleoYan well, thx a lot for your really fast answer. i plugged in everything correctly but my uefi bios under q-fan control can't find my system fans and so i can't set up an individually fan-curve. i am totally fine when the fan speed for all fans are the same. i control 2x3 fans and 1x1 fan with the SL-controller. PSU, USB and 3 Groups.
@@ekace33 I see ok. So long you are fine with you setup and ok with the temperature. That will be fine 👍
I just bought a Lian Li case with the older style controller. I wish I could find info on that.
Hi J.W. Grayson, welcome to my channel. Which case did you get? will need to know which model to be exact. I see what I can do to aid you.
Great video I was wondering I just finished building my pc my uni rgb lights not working do I need to have the software downloaded before the rgb lights will come on?
Hi Maurice, welcome to my channel, it should light up with default rainbow effect even if you do not have the software L-Connect installed. if it does not, try download the application, install it and reboot your system. if it still does not light up. I would advise you to check your cable connection of your unit.
@@KleoYan Thank you will do

@@KleoYan I figured it out I had the usb header plugged into my external hub and not on the motherboard thanks again
@@bigmoe4613 good to hear that you figure it out :) enjoy the lighting effects and thank you for your reply too!
To use my synapse controlled lighting with the Lian-Li fans I had to set up the L-Connect to turn on when the system starts and then automate it to turn off a minute later otherwise the fans would just stay in rainbow and wouldn't pass control over to the motherboard and synapse etc

does this work with the sl120 fans?
Hi Oblivion, welcome to my channel. I believe you are asking if this apply the same to AL120. yes, it apply the same. AL and SL are both of the same structure.

Hi Ernestoxx, welcome to my channel, this uni controller does handle 16 fans but please note that each output will only support 4 fans.

So, if I have 9 fans, 3 for AIO, galahad 360, how would I connect it? Would I connect the pwm to cpu fan header and then USB and switch the 3 fans that are on the AIO to pwm?
Hi Alex G. Thank you for your question. This is just my opinion.
Galahad AIO pump directly to CPU fan header full speed
3 x SL120 for the Galahad. connect to Output 1 of the uni controller (set on L-Connect to pwm)
3 x SL120 connect to output 2 of uni fan controller (Set L-Connect to control the rpm as you desire)
3 x SL120 connect to output 3 of the uni fan controller (set L-connect to control the rpm as you desire)

@@KleoYan so I connect the controller to USB header, sata and the pwm to specifically cpu fan header, not just a regular fan header?
@@__Grig__ yup. Correct and since u can only have one pwm curve as based on the specific fan header to be plug at. Make use of the pwm for your Galahad. The rest just use the L-Connect to controller them.

Is there a way to have the fans be set to motherboard rgb profile on startup? When ever I turn on my pc, it goes back to default rainbow. The controller has an aRGB connector to motherboard so there should be a way to set it up so it starts up with onboard memory instead of default to usb and l connect right

i got a feeling what im about to ask wont be possible but can you sync the unifan(sys1) speed to the cpu fan speed so they run in tandem at the same speed but still able to use l-connect to control rgb? the problem with l-connect motherboard sync is once i activate it i lose control of the rgb and it doesnt show on the msi dragon software so no way of control it once MB sync is on
Hi krayzie egg, welcome to my channel. you don't have to switch fully to motherboard mode. you can leave that alone, all is needed is to set on L-Connect, the fan section to PWM. then allowing the effects controlled via the L-Connect application. I hope this is what you wanted. to be honest, I would rather just plug those fans on the motherboard fan header and fully use the L-Connect to control the argb effects only.
Hello man thanks for video ! I need to only use 9 fans with L connect, should I need to connect the pwm and rgb connector on mobo WITH usb? Or only Usb is good ?
Hi Walle, you can just plug the usb alone, if you don't intend to use the PWM or aRGB mode on your motherboard. as for your 9 fans, just make sure you only chain 3 fans (max4) to each input to the unifan controller. Thanks for revisiting and if you have any other questions, feel free to pop by and I will try my best to answer them.

Thank you so much for the time you spend keeping us in the know when we encounter problems, you and the provoked prawn are absolute heroes buddy. I’ve got a full Corsair setup, 6 fans and the Capellix elite 150i with 4 rgb strips hidden away, I have just bought 6 sl120 fans and a kraken z73 so I change the whole led system out but I have a concern and a question my friend and that is can I connect my 4 Corsair 5v a rgb strips to the pian-li controller? I have also ordered the 24 pin strimer plus and believe that has a control box too so can I connect to that? I really would like to keep the light strips operating and functional if possible. Thank you so much in advance for any insights you can offer buddy, I’ve tried looking through google to see if I can answer my question with no luck.
Enjoy the rest of your week my friend and thanks again 👍👊
Hi Chris Harris, welcome to my channel and thank you for your compliments. I do not know how the Corsair argb strips looks like as in the connector but for SL Fans.. you can use this as a reference. you just need the correct connectors ruclips.net/video/njlkdM9lYbI/видео.html
as four your Kraken z73 if that's the one which allows you to do customizer LCD display, you will need another USB header from the motherboard. for your corsair strips. you should be able to connect to the uni controller only if you find the correct convertor. but please place only 2 strips to one output of the uni controller and not more. else you might burn your unit.
@@KleoYan thanks so much for your prompt reply buddy, I’m wondering if it might just be easier when I swap out the AIO and fans that I leave one of my Corsair commander pro boxes in situ and that way I can still use and operate the strips via icue but obviously will not be able to sync them up with the fans but as I said at least I can still leave all 4 in situ and working to a decent degree.
Buddy, I’m an idiot, I have 2 lian -li control boxes, I could dedicate 1 controller to the strips and the other to the fans , I’ll check first that L-connect provide a music mode type effect for the strips as I use 2 strips vertically as audio level indicators (green, amber, red,), providing I can replicate that I’ll swap the entire rgb system out. Thanks again mate I really appreciate your time, knowledge, and input. 👍👊

Hi The Turtle, welcome to my channel. for the moment you are able to only use 1 controller but I would advise you to get 2 x 3 pack unifans with the controller each. 1 controller to use and another to keep as spare. Plus on lian-li website, it did mentioned that in future you can use 2 controller instead of one. read this page for more info lian-li.com/product/uni-fan-sl/
i have a fan not spinning properly do you know what might be the issue?
Hi Bo-Jassim, welcome to my channel, have you try on that single fan that is not working properly, directly to the motherboard fan header? play with the motherboard fan header curve to see if the fan reacts properly? It might be just the daisy chain is lose. If direct plug still having an issue, I would advise you to do a RMA with lian li to have your fan replace.
hey man what if i dont habe a 3pin 5v argb header on my motherboard?? will i still get rgb from lian li controller?? if i dont plug in the 3pin rgb
opps.. did I miss your question here. so sorry. do not worry, you will be able to use the hub to control the argb or your fans. not an issue, just make sure to connect the usb cable to your hub and to your motherboard. I think I did answer you this question on my other video, by the way.. all the very best with your new build :)
hi ! can i connect 9 sl120 fans on one hub?
Hello F P, welcome to my channel. One uni hub can cater up to 16 fans. Just make sure 4 fans to one output. There are total of four output. best if you can view this video. the dos and donts ruclips.net/video/QQHJUQvKwlY/видео.html
I have two cpu pwm headers on my mobo: CPU_FAN (fan header) and CPU_OPT (water cooling fan header).
On my AIO, I plan to use 2 Lian-Li's AL120 fans that I will connect to the controller. I will also have another 4 case fans (also AL120's) connected to the same controller. Is it okay to connect the controller pwm to the CPU_OPT header, considering I have AIO fans plus case fans connected to the same controller?
Hi magno, welcome to my channel, I suggest you to connect. it this way. for AIO pump and fans.. plug your AIO pump directly to CPU_OPT (set to full speed) then plug your radiator AL120 fans to the CPU_FAN, this way you know that those fans will react upon the temperate of your CPU. make sure in UEFI / Bios you have set CPU_FAN to pwm, you can set your own fan curve or to use the profile, example Normal, Performance, Quiet and ETC. as for CPU_OPT set to full. as for the AL120 argb, connect it to the uni controller. the reason to do this. incase of the uni-controller or L-connect application goes wrong, at least your CPU pump and AL120 on the radiator will still be working as it's following direct orders / commands from your motherboard.
as for the rest of the AL120 (Case fans) you can plug all to the uni controller and control the fans using the L-Connect or you can bypass and to use motherboard pwm settings to control your fans, just make sure that the pwm cable is connected between the uni controller and to your motherboard fan header (example ChassisFan1) and please make sure that in UEFI, example ChassisFan1 is set to pwm with the fan profile (Normal, Performance, Quiet and ETC)

Hi Kenneth which 360 AIO are you using and are they argb, for argb so long is 5v and it's argb you can connect to the controller but you might need a converter if it's not a lian li Galahad AIO. and for AIO pump, you will need to connect to the motherboard CPU fan header.. make sure to set full speed. as I do not encourage others to run AIO pump on PWM. you will damage the pump.

as a quick answer, yes AIO pump to the CPU 1 fan header and make sure is set to full speed, the rest of the SL120 fans you can chain them and then plug it to the Uni Fan controller. thank you!.
Do you need to plug in every cable or can you just plug in the usb 2.0 and sata cable?

@@KleoYan thank you for the info. Yes I have got I. Contact with lian li as well. It's so frustrating I got them to work one time with my MSI and then never again. I'll wait for the fix
So by utilizing the hub, u can control each groups fan curve meaning if you have 12 fans( 4 groups of 3), do all fans have to run at the same speed or can u do 6 slow and 6 fast or whatever rpm u set them to? U can’t set them one by one but u can set a group?
hi Allen Sostan, welcome to my channel,
I will try to put this as simple as possible.
1st situatio, if you did plug the PWM fan connector from the uni controller to your motherboard. It will take only that PWM curve you have set. All your four output on your uni fan will only read that PWM. Of course you need to set on L-Connect as PWM.
2nd situation. same as above but this time you do not plug the PWM cable from your uni controller to the motherboard. you can manually set each set of output to the fix RPM that you wanted via the L-Connect application. No PWM function.
hope that helps. If you do like my content, remember to subscribe and to click on the notification bell, thank you very much!

Hi John Waugh, thank you for the question. you could but i would not advise that. Reason being, this controller calibrates the SL120 and SL140 fans which the RPM is at 800 - 1800 rpms and these fans kick starts at 6volts. if your fan kick starts at 7volts, it might not even start at low rpm and if your the RPM might be slightly different. but the choice is yours. you can give it a try. just that the RPMs set for your non-RGB fans might not run as the speed you wanted. once again thank you for your question and to have visit my channel.

For instance, can you just plug the controller box into the USB on the motherboard and use the controller and lian li software to control the speed of the fans and lighting. I would never use the motherboard to control the pwm nor the lighting. Thats what the L connect software is for. Basically asking if I can NOT use the argb nor the sys fan cables. thanks.
Hello Neil. Welcome to my channel. Yes you can. Just connect the USB cable from your uni controller to your motherboard USB 2.0 header and the Sata power source cable. You will be able to control the lighting effect and rpm using the L-Connect application without issue. Hope this help.

@@KleoYan thank you. Like 👍 your channel. Have you used the l connect software like the way im asking? I've used icue software like this. Corsair doesn't require anything other than a sata and USB 2.0 which is why asking. Love these fans, just wanted to make sure before I took the leap.
Hi Neil, yes. I’ve done two pc for my colleagues and have guided them on how to use it. Up and running without issues. But you will need to take note that you will need to do some steps to launch this L-Connect to boot from start. There are instructions to show you how at this page lian-li.com/product/uni-fan-sl/ here are the instructions from which I have corrected some procedure and tested it.
The settings are written in L-Connect software, you have to run L-Connect to get your settings.
Please set L-Connect running as the computer starts. Following steps:
1. Click “Windows” + “R”
2. Enter : “shell:startup”
3. Click “OK”
4. Copy your “L-Connect” shortcut to “Startup” folder
5. Restart your PC
Any way to keep the saved color upon startup? Every time I restart my PC the RGB resets to default rainbow. Thanks

@@KleoYan Thanks, I have already done this. This does allow the color to eventually change from rainbow to my chosen color, but I would like to completely skip the rainbow startup, if possible. My Deepcool Gammax GTE RGB fan is connected to the JRGB1 on my MSI motherboard, and it starts up with my selected color that was set in Dragon Center with no problem. Any way to set these fans to do the same? Thanks
@@joesified hi as for your question, don't think is possible, you see the argb effects are done in L-Connect and this app need to be loaded when when windows starts up. I am afraid I don't have a solution for you. pardon me.
@@KleoYan The help is very much appreciated. Thank you, sir.
@@joesified hi, call me Kleo will do and you are most welcome.
Hi, is there any way to get these fans under 800rpm? This is too loud for me. I tried noctua speed limiter but it is not working with lian li fans. I would like speed about 400-500 rpm. 🙁
Hi Peter Juracka, welcome to my channel. I have yet to try setting at that low rpm. You can try connecting those set of fans directly to your motherboard fan header and control them using the motherboard utility fan curve. So far I am only able to get it run at 600 but not anything lower.
Hi Kleo
I've installed all of my various lian li parts and connected them to the unifan controller, they are all receiving power as they are spinning / in the default ARGG rainbow mode but no matter what I do I can't get the software in L-Connect to work, it doesn't change the colour and the fan speeds aren't showing, any ideas?
Hi Adam, welcome back, which motherboard are you using. if you are using any motherboard software, I would advise you to uninstall it along with the L-Connect. turn off your pc, disconnect the cable that connects the fan and argb between the Uni controller and motherboard header. then startup your PC, reinstall L-connect using administrative rights. Then try to see if your fans react to what you have controlled on L-Connect.
there are reports stated that due to motherboard application that took over the usb rights, therefore your L-Connect lose the rights to control your fans and argb effects.
My AIO doesn't even turn on. Never mind the RGB. None of the Lian Li related parts in my PC do anything except the case fans, which have no RGB but at least spin.
Does the uni fan controller come with the 3piece set of the lian li fans?
Hi winchesterbro, welcome to my channel. This package comes with 3 pcs Fan, the controller and the necessary cables.
Hi Kleo, im planning to connect 9 unifan for my new pc build. When I checked on my motherboard there are two kinds of header, one is 1A (CHA_FAN1/2/3)and the other is 3A (H_AMP). Is it safe to plug the unifan controller to any fan header on the motherboard (x570 asus dark hero)? thank you
Hi Rockies. Thank you for your question. The fan cable from the uni fan is only one strain of cable which is the pwm cable. It is safe to plug into any fan header on your motherboard. Once again thank you for visit and do subscribe too. Thank you. 👍
@@KleoYan Understood. thank you so much for your replyy
Can I control the fan speed of UNIFAN with NZXT software? I'm using right now CAM SOFTWARE on my pc and I love it. I dont want to change it.
hi Rene Alberto Reyes Gonzalez, welcome to my channel and pardon me for the late reply as am busy at work. for your question. how do you use the CAM software as in does it comes with a NZXT hub or such?
@@KleoYan it usually works with a fan and rgb controller that has 3 fan ports and 2 RGB headers.
I love the software from them. It makes easy for me to have different profiles for any task I'm doing like mining, gaming or editing.
@@renealbertoreyesgonzalez9604 I see. if thats the case, you can use the CAM on the uni controller and I dont advise you to use the SL120 fans on your NXZT hub using converters. as the argb load on these Uni Fans are at 0.65a .. you can only choose one controller to use. i am so sorry that I am not familiar with the NXZT hub and AIO, therefore can't help you out here. but you might want to try asking at the lian li reddit site www.reddit.com/r/lianli/
Im actually looking to purchase 9 lian-li fans, will I need 3 controllers for my build to work?
Hi Action Bastard Academy, thank you for your question. you are only allow to use one uni controller as the L-Connect app only control 1 and not three. hope that helps and if you do like my content, kindly subscribe and to click on the notification bell. thank you very much!
@@KleoYan You got it man, Im watching more of your videos as we speak, I just wanna make sure one controller can support 9 fans or if I will need something else.
@@actionbastardacademy9982 Hi ya, yes, these are all you need, 1 controller and 9 fans . now though 1 contoller is enough. it's always good to keep another as spare.
@@KleoYan Ok cool I was worried cause I only saw 8 ports on it, good to know im watching your video on the controller its so helpful.
@@actionbastardacademy9982 ooo thank you.. sorry to make so many vidoes about this uni fan controller. to be honest. I first fear to use the argb as I had some bad experiences. after having further inspection on this controller. I am very impress by it. only thing I feel need to be done is on the L-connect app. there are room for improvement. by way if you are still watching.. you might just want to watch it through this playlist. ruclips.net/p/PLEW-b-2vYDdM1WklGQps2-sQ1Amy6Uwn9
ok now how do i get my lian li fans to work with signal RGB be cause they go crazy when i have it downloaded and if i turn off the lian software i cant turn it back on until i uninstall signal rgn
Hi JerRonFrost, welcome to my channel as for the Signal RGB, you might want to seek their help on this. Do pardon me, am not able to aid you on this as I no longer having any AL or SL fans to research on your request. thank you!
I don't have and LED header on my MOBO :( don't have a usb 2.0 header either :) ... what color will i get if just plug them in? [update] i found a usb3.0 header and i think i can use and adapter extension!
hello Jason Lee, welcome to my channel. pardon me for the late reply and yes you can use a adapter extension :)
If I want to control 1 set of fans speed to a certain temperature and another set of fans to another temperature setting, how can I adjust them on the motherboard? L-connect doesn’t seem to have a temperature setting to regulate fan speed. You would have to adjust manually
Hi Noel Nacpil, thank you for your question. In your case, I would connect it this way as illustrated below
Example you got 2 sets of SL120 (3 fans to each set)
Set 1 fans and set 2 fans, ARGB connector will go the the uni fan controller, and their fan connectors will go directly to the motherboard fan headers. example Fan 1 and Fan 2 header on the motherboard, then make use of your motherboard application to do the fan curve. by doing so you can control different set and your uni fan controllers have no control over these sets for fans. hope I did reply your questions and if you like my content, kindly subscribe and to click on the notification button. thank you very much!
@@KleoYan thank you! So basically connect each set of fans directly to the 2 separate accounts fan headers instead of the unifan controller. The ARGB connector will be used only for RGB control thru L-connect
@@nnacpil yup. That’s correct. Fan rpm will be connected on motherboard fan headers (control by motherboard software) and the argb lightings will be connected to uni fan controller (controlled by uni fan controller).
Very useful, thank you.
Hi Einjo, welcome to my channel and thank you for the compliment. infact I did a few series of this uni fan, mainly to combine other lian li argb products with this controller. You might be interested and here is the playlist ruclips.net/p/PLEW-b-2vYDdM1WklGQps2-sQ1Amy6Uwn9 once again thank you for visiting my channel :)
Can you connect without the controller and do it directly to the mb
HI Rob, thank you for your question. yes you can. but you need convertors to do that for the aRGB connection, but please see if your motherboard argb header for the Ampere limit and note that each SL120 fans argb load is at 0.65a, so 3 will be at 1.95a which most motherboard should be capable of. if you do 4 then you need to watch out as some motherboard argb header only support 2A. as for the Fan load, it's at 0.18a which is fine to have 3 to 4 fans daisy chained, not an issue.
Very helpful! Thank you!!
Hi Lance. you are most welcome.
My Aorus B450 Pro Wifi has 2 USB 2.0 header, 1 im using for Case, and the other 1 is for Aorus AIO, Can i still use the Uni Fan?
