I have this same motherboard as well as the streamers. My question is why didn’t you address the white power cord under the 24 pin streamer. I’m trying to build mine and not sure what to plug into that 8 pin under the 24 pin. I have the same HXi 1500 psu. Also, my 3060 only has 1 (8 pin) connector yet my streamer has 2 pins. Will it be an issue to have one streamer plugged in and the other just there? I’m running the Z690 formula, 12,900k, 64 gig Corsair ram, hxi 1500 psu, 3060 gpu, both streamers, 13 lian li rgb fans, galahad trinity aio all inside the 011 dynamic evo xl
For anyone that is installing on the side bracket you can remove the full bracket by pushing down the screw on the back top right of the bracket and you can swap it around so you get the radiator closer to the back panel.
The amount of quiet rage that built up in me while you installed that radiator without popping the bracket out was irrational. Come onnnn that’s such a great feature that they added!!!!!
I'm not sure if this is mentioned already but the side fan bracket is removable making it easier to install everything. It's also reversible as well. This is a killer feature vs all other cases.
At 10:15 you try to fit the 360 AIO in from the rear of the side mount bracket. What you don't seem to realize is that bracket is removable. You could have removed it, installed the AIO, ran the CPU mount and houses through the opening you were demonstrating it wouldn't fit with the side panel installed in the case, installed the AIO to the side panel, and reinstalled the bracket the way you were trying to in the video. One thing I also discovered by reading the manual for the case, the side mount bracket can be installed in two ways. The direction it is installed in the video, and the other direction, where it is flipped around and closer to the side panel. All-in-all I really like this case and your review is really top notch as usual.
thats what I was thinking. anybody know if doing this would it still be possible to install fans on the inside of the case over top the radiator in a push/pull setup? (i know its overkill... but i still want to try it if i can LoL )
I just picked up this case on sale, so excited to refresh my build. I randomly out of the blue decided to do an all white build (minus my gpu I waited 2 years for) Going to also be getting the infinity fans can't wait to have a build that looks insane like the one you just made!
I just built my first PC in this case. I used an Asus Prime Z790-A, an i7 13700k, White Corsair H150i Elite Capellix (with its fans) mounted at the top, 6 Lian Li AL120 mounted side and bottom, 850W Asus ROG Strix white PSU, 2TB Samsung 980 Pro, 2x16 White Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR5 @6200 MT/s (Had to turn it down to 6000 because crashes) and the same type of GPU but in the 3080 version vertically mounted. It turned out beautiful! This video helped a lot!
Can you do a completely video on using Lian li infinity fans on the kraken z73 and how to set them up , aka what and where to plug in the cables if you are daisy chain running the lian li infinity fans , please !
I’m doing the same thing. I am guessing that I don’t need to use the fan lead or the RGB lead coming off of the pump since the fans are controlled through the Lian Li hub? Pretty much just giving it set a power and plugging in the USB lead
From what I gather if u bought a single inf fan they come with standard connection like 3pin rgb and pwm fan but If u were to daisy chain that single fan into 2 from a 3 pack u could use the cpu fan header for ur radiator.. I'm trying it now for my build as I also was stumped but prawn be helping cause I never thought of that lol
@@dandoge8999 I'm not sure I understand what you are saying here. I have the Z73 and I'm using all Lian Li SL120 infinity fans. The single or 3 fan kit does not provide you with a cable to connect the lian li fans that would be connected to the lian li controller. The 3 fan kit only comes with 4 single flat connectors that provide power and RGB input, these connect to the 4 thin ports on the controller. The single fan provides you with a single connector that splits into a connector for the power (which would let you connect your fans to the PWM output of the z73 pump) and a 3 pin RGB connector. This 3 pin RGB connector can't connect to the lian li controller box because the ports are 4 pin connectors, not 3. So based on the cables you get from the 3 fan pack or the single pack, your only options are to connect your lian li fans to the pump power and then you have to connect your RGB to the motherboard, or you use the cable from the 3 fan pack to connector to the controller for power and RGB but no control over the fan speed by the AIO pump. I dont know what cable @TheProvokedPrawn is using in the video but it is not found with either infinity fan kits.
@@Newms118 Confirming what Newms118 said is true. I’m completely stuck with that stupid 4 pin RGB cord that comes with the single Infinity Fan as it cannot connect with the controller….
If you've mounted the M.2 add-on card at the bottom slot, then you might still be able to mount the vertical GPU bracket in the lower position since mine does not overlap with the bottom 2 PCI brackets.
Thank you for putting up this vid. I have an XL version of the Dynamic, and I couldn't figure out how to take out the bracket. Your video is the only one lol. Have a great one!
Currently build a pc with the same aio, strimers, and the uni sl120 fans, that y-splitter was something I totally forgot about. Huge help man! Thank you.
I went with the XL, the extra room is appreciated, and the end result is about the same. But with vertical mount it gives the graphics card more room the breath.
@Bootstrapper that's really cool, I'd like to see a wider panned version of a short though showing it from other angles too, the view felt a little restricted for such a unique looking case
Another great video. I find your videos among the most informative. You are one of the few PC specialists that dots the I's and crosses the T's. Well done.
Thermal take makes magnetic linked fans that also have swappable fan blades. They’re called Thermaltake SWAFAN EX. This is quite literally the perfect instance to use those.
@@TheProvokedPrawn Definitely - I've just got one question. The fan configuration you did here is how I set mine up, but then I saw you had another video where they're inverted. Is this fan config good? OR should I switch em around. Thanks!
I literally started a build almost identical to this and have ran into some issues. Below are my components: Asus ROG MAXIMUS Z690 FORMULA motherboard Intel Core i9-13900K CPU 32GB Corsair Dominator DDR5 5600Mhz RAM Gigabyte RTX 3080 Ti Vision OC GPU 2 X Samsung 980 pro 2TB SSD 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 M.2 NZXT Kraken Z73 Lian Li White 011 Dynamic Evo case 10x Lian Li SL120 Fans Lian Li Strimer Plus V2 24-pin power extension Lian Li Addressable RGB Strimer Plus V2 3 x 8-Pin MAINGEAR IGNITION 1000 Watt 80 Plus Platinum ATX Fully Modular Power Supply I updated the bios via the bios usb flashback function to make sure the bios is up to date to be able to run the 13th gen and got the update successful on the oled mini screen on the motherboard. I then tried to boot up the pc and motherboard turns on and so does the ram and the aio turns on and off and nothing else . The GPU and the fans do not turn on and the pc doesnt boot up. This is my first time doing a build and am clueless right now. Any help is apreciated
I'm about to build a very similar system and I'm worried about doing the flashback without seeing it on the screen. Did Roski's suggestion of clearing the CMOS work for you? I hope you got everything up an running. My local store said they could pop in a 12th gen CPU into my new Z690 motherboard to do the bios update in the store before I try to install the 13900K, so maybe that's a safer option.
You should get a little sanding block so you can easily & quickly sand all the black paint off your aio fan screwheads. They look so much better in an all white build imo.
Beautiful build. I hope to build something similar with a 7800X3D / 13900KF with a 4080 one day, with a mostly black / matte black theme to it. Also a LT720 for the AIO.
Just bought 10 of those so infinity fans. Thinking about sending them back because I'll only be able to see the exhaust fans infinity hub. It's not on the ground but it's not high enough to see the hub mirrors of the top exhaust fans. So basically $300 of the $335 worth of the fans infinity hub mirrors won't even be visible.. 😑🔫 Also, when you were mounting that rad at around 11:58, that screw up there above your right hand (the one holding the rad) is also a lever you can pull down on to eject that entire radiator rack so you wouldn't have to fiddle with it like you were. You could have taken the entire thing out like you can with the top one. Just found that out after doing exactly what you did. Feel free to open up the side of the case while the computer is off and just pull down on that screw. The whole thing is on tracks so it won't come flying out at you or fall into the case or anything. Just a heads up for the future.
The O11 Vision is even more dramatic when it comes to mounting 2,5'' SSD on the hinged door because it does not have that pass-through hole. My powercables are not going in without being forced upwards due to the door pressuring it
That m.2 expansion card has to go. It’s blocking half of your bottom intake fans, and you could’ve also dropped the vertical GPU mount to the bottom setting, which wouldn’t cover your AIO display. You gotta read your manuals before you build- you left awesome features on the table!!! (You said you wanted comments for engagement!)
I got this same case with a white n7 b550 mobo from NZXT and a 360mm aio from corsair. I did push/pull with the aio and mounted on top of the case. That made the AIO cover the top grommets which in my opinion looks better, especially when alot of cables are black, like the aios. I also routed some of the cables i could behind the motherboard before fully screwing it in. It sucks for future removal but in the long term, it looks nicer and cleaner. Im gonna look for a new aio though since icue is fat garbage, i cant change any settings on my LCD on the aio for the last 4 months beacues of a software update. Wasted money on it.
Thanks for the build demo. I'm about to build something very similar and it was great to see how you worked it all out. I never considered a white build before, but this is quite attractive. Nice work. What do you think about the Infinity Fans as compared to the AL120s? Are the specs any better? Any quieter?....Oops, just noticed you have a whole video on that. I'll check it out...
When applying thermal paste, the correct way is to leave a small blob in the middle. The pressure from the heatsink will get rid of any air pockets and spread it out perfectly. Pre-spreading is not recommended to the tiny air bubbles that always happen. Other than that. Great build. I have a similar build with the same motherboard, 12900K, corsair h150 elite aio, 64gb of trident z ddr5 6000mhz memory and two samsung 980 pro 2 tb m.2 drives in a 011 dynamic white xl. Also a 3080 ti and a corsair 1000w psu. I chose only the best brands for my builds. I want quality! 👍🏻👍🏻
The blob in the middle may not spread perfectly, or you may leave too thick a layer of paste. I always use spread, it's efficient. This is easy to check, just apply thermal paste to the processor and press it with glass. Manual spreading guarantees a full fit and a thin layer, but the air is squeezed out.
I have the same case and need to figure out how to rearrange my cable so it can look better. Right now it looks like chicken scratch lol but I do like those flat cables.
should have had the radiator fan bank be an exhaust. 12900k is hot, and by pulling air in through that radiator you are causing hot air to flood the case, plus you dont get to enjoy the infinity fans. Additionally, you would switch from positive pressure to negative pressure. While this means more dust inside your system, you will also have slightly better cooling.
Surely a hot GPU generates way more heat inside the case than air blowing through a radiator. Also I would NEVER knowing generate negative pressure. Dust is everyone's worst enemy.
@@boot-strapper I think you need to understand how radiators work. If a stressed CPU running at 80⁰ for example and cooled by an AIO, the air that has passed through the rad is nowhere near that temperature. The liquid temp tends to be around the 40⁰ and lower mark. You can easily test this by stressing the CPU and simply feeling the temperature of the air coming through the radiator on your skin. Pretty cool. I have a very similar set up as the one in this video and all my temps are spot on.
@@moonchild666 same can be said of air coolers so it’s a moot point. But given that graphics card use more watts, it’s probably true that they generate more heat.
Im currently about to start my build and i always tune in to your channel for build guides. I have one question though, how did you wire the aio fans. I was planning use the connector that came with the single box version and plug it to the aio header thing, but im puzzled with where i should plug the rgb one; and if i connect it to the motherboard, will the software detect it and let me modify the lighting etc? Sorry for the barrage of questions, i haven't built a pc in 6 years heh
If you're using the cable that comes with the single pack I'd connect the power to the pump (as you said) or CPU fan on the motherboard and then connect the RGB to the Sync connector on the Lian Li control box. That'll give you RGB control from l connect. If you use the RGB header on the motherboard instead you'll need to control it via your motherboard software
@@TheProvokedPrawn I just checked the connector that comes with the single version of the fan and the rgb connector doesnt fit with the sync socket on the control box BUT i did buy the lian li argb cable kit and i found a connector there that lets me plug the rgb connector to this wire that has the connector that fits with the sync socket on the controller. THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!!
Nice vid! Am in the process of building my first PC and this helps a lot! One question though about the fans on the radiator: Does it matter if the pump or the Lian Li Hub controls fan speeds? I'd love to use the hub so that I can sync the RGB but if it's better the pump controls the speeds of the those 3 fans then so be it. As far as I could tell there's no splitter cable so that I can plug in the radiator fans into the hub for RGB control and into the pump for fan speeds, right? Also btw, what are those cable holders you are using for the cables from the NZXT pump going to the radiator? Looks very neat!
@@TheProvokedPrawn I actually watched that vid as well, sorry failed to mention it 😅 but since those fans seem to have a different splitter cable to the fans used in this vid (same fans I have) I’m still left with the same uncertaint. 🤔 Anyway, for now I’m happy with plugging all fans into the Lian Li hub and control fan speeds and RGB that way.
@@MJBold_1 it's fine to use the hub if you want. Or you can plug the power cable from the fan into the CPU header on your motherboard and the rgb cable into the Lian Li hub
@@TheProvokedPrawn The problem is if you buy the 3 pack of SL Inf 120, you only get the cables that allow you to connect to Hub, but with the single pack, the cable doesn't have a connection that allows you to connect to the HUB. It has the 4-pin PWM and 3-pin ARGB connector that goes directly onto the motherboard not the controller so I can’t separate the AIO fans from the case fans. You are left with a choice of running everything from the hub, which doens't allow the pump to control fan speed, or connecting power to the pump and then RGB to the board which L-connect then wont control with all the other fans. Any solution to this?
For the radiator fans. I think, this is my personal opinion. I think it is better to exhaust them outside the case instead of intake the air from outside to mix with the already hot air inside. I think it would be cooler to exhaust the hot air outside the case compared to mixing the inside air together, if that makes sense. Idk if you have done temp tests and stuff which I haven't. This is just my logic having the intake going outside the case.
Why would you want your radiator to be exhausting hot air from the pc? The radiator is directly cooling your CPU. It makes a lot more sense for your radiator to be intaking fresh cold air.
@@troyxhoward if they are all intaking cold air, the air gets mixed around. If you have some that are intaking and you have an exhaust fan then it is the correct way. you dont want all them the be intake you want to have most of them intake and then have an exhaust,
@@troyxhoward they should of course be intake. if you make them exhaust from the air thats already in the case you are just mixed all of the air together like him, you need to do it from the outside air.
Can you please share what Y splitter you use? I have a 4 port and a 2 port but neither seems to let the fans and the strimmers work together. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
I've ordered the same case, cpu cooler and fans, very helpful videos you have on this cpu cooler! Still need to find out how to connect the pump when not using the default fans. Atm i only ordered 7 fans so maybe i will be using the default fans on the radiator. When you put the radiator on the side like in this video, is it set to drag the air into the case? (i would guess) since i assume the bottom suck air into the case, and back and top exhaust (?) Thanks again, can't wait to get such a clean nice build
Found the answer, just like you said otherwise you would have 7 ehaus fans :) Problem for me is i have a real radiator outside of the case to warm up the room xD So need to figure out what will be best for me, anyway, very helpful video
Hi! Im confused what to do with all the cables when using a Z73 kraken with the lian li fans. Do I connect the single cable from the lian li fans to the controller?
Not sure if you found it, but he did a video a few days ago, which was quite helpful, as long as I can follow what I watch right lol. Find out in a few days when the rest of my fans come in
@@sueann2555 That video wont work here I believe since the V2 connector that plugs into the fan itself is a different connector from the ones on the infinity model. If we could use that cable, I'd buy a V2 single fan and use its cable for the infinity so that I can control the RGB using the controller box and let the Z73 power control the fan speeds. But from what I can see thats not possible now. Huge let down to me.
Thanks for the in-depth video. I am trying to do a similar setup. Can you clarify how the strimer controller is connected? Is strimer controller connected to the uni-fan controller? If so, are additional special cables needed?
Such a shame the infinity glass cant be swapped each way.. bottom and radiator area would have looked awesome with the glass.. but i suppose positive airflow is better :(
Great build! I'm planning on doing something similar however for the GPU I would like to use a 4090 aorus waterforce, is this case capable of installing 2 360mm radiators. the CPU AIO radiator to be mounted on the top and the GPU radiator mounted on the side, The GPU radiator I think would have to be rotated 180 compared to what you have here and I'm not sure if that fan along the bottom will cause a clearance issue
Hey Prawn I’ll be doing a very similar build next weekend and my question for you is if I do a push pull with my radiator on top, an intake top left, then exhaust through the back and the bottom do you think it will be a healthy airflow? I’m new to building that would be 13 fans in total thanks!
Did you end up using L-connect software to control your fan speeds and rgb or did you use the motherboard? If you did use the motherboard did it only take 1 5v rgb header and 1 pwm fan header to control all those fans using the L-connect box?
At 19:00, you mention connecting the radiator fans' power to the pump and the RGB connection to the sync connector in the Lian Li controller. At 19:27 you show that RGB cable. Is that some adapter you bough separately? Because the infinity fans don't come with that 3-pin cable that you seem to be plugging into the Sync port. It comes with a header that can only plug into the addressable RGB header on motherboard. I'm putting my system together and I'm really stuck how I get the speed of my Infinity fans on the radiator to be controlled by the Kraken pump but for their lighting to be controlled by L-Connect. I would really appreciate help with this issue.
When I swapped my MSI MEG Coreliquid s360 fans for the Lian Li infinity fans the rgb connectors did not fit with the 3 connector cable it came with or the controller. The cables that came with my fans did not have the same RGB connector as you show in the video but rather the flat 4 pin wide, 3 pin. I'm stumped.
So i´m building my first pc and i can´t seem to find the cable at 19:25 . I have the Uni Fan 3x120 with the hub and the Nzxt Kraken 73. IN which box should it be or is it bought seperately?
That comes with a single pack. You might be able to get just the case from somewhere like this www.aliexpress.com/store/group/UNI-FAN-SL-V2/911265363_40000002979449.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.100008.5.33da164bJeFuv9
Ok so the fan logo is the direction that the air is going to move to? Example being seeing the logo on the radiator fans mean that air is flowing towards the interior of the case?
these Fans are 35usd PER FAN you have 9 of them in that case, include the 200 usd price point of the case itself add the RGB Cable there, and your getting a 550 usd price for he Case and Fans alone. Without buying 1 piece of hardware. This is an easily 2000-3000 USD (in the states, double it for europe) PC. it's not for everyone.
Hello, I have gotten into Building my first gaming pc and for the case I have bought the Lian Li mesh airflow atx case. but my question is I have bought a cooler master masterfan and was wondering would a nzxt kraken 240 RGB Aio CPU Cooler would be compatible with the fans I’ve bought and the fans that comes in the Lian Li case
@The Provoked Prawn core i9 probably, and I've heard that the 4090 can be flashed to use something like 1000 watts lol but my housemate got the 4090 just recently on a 850W psu and it runs fine, as does his old 3090ti on my 850W psu with an i7 13700K and the 3090ti uses a lot more power than the 4090 😅
Two things; Why use a motherboard built for water cooling when you're not gonna water cool it? Why not, to reduce tension on the tubing and be more aesthetically pleasing, just put the radiator at the top?
One, I was always planning on upgrading to a full liquid loop system but haven't had time yet. Two because I prefer the aesthetics of side mounting and intaking through it.
made the mistake thinking i could fit a XFX 6950XT in my H510 with a kraken X3. Currently looking to buy this or a HYTE y60. I do like the all white aesthetic if the Lian Li more though. just cant afford a case after buying the gpu for now
Question, did you connect the AIO fans to the Lian Li controller or to the NZXT pump? I have the Kraken Z73 and want to buy those SL120 but I'm a little lost on the wiring
In this instance I connected them to the controller but the other options are to use the connection that comes with the single fan box and use that to connect to either the pump head breakout or the CPU fan header on the motherboard. Those two options are probably better.
@@TheProvokedPrawn hey could you explain that a little more in detail? I’m currently working on a build with these fans and a z73 and am totally lost on where to plug everything. Is it possible to have the 3 fans connected to the AIO change speed independently from the other 6 fans?
@@TheProvokedPrawn So is there no way you can connect the infinity fans where the lian li control box provides RGB and the AIO pump provides power? I dont see what cable you can do this with and I bought the single and 3 fan pack. They only provide cables that allow you connect only the controller, or you have a cable that splits into one that connects to the power for the pump and then a 3 pin RGB header on the motherboard. The problem is the controller only provides you two 4-pin connectors but ZERO cables that can connect to it (its the sync connectors). So is there some cable that connects to the 3 pin RGB motherboard connector and converts it into a 4 pin sync connector?
@@stevein From what I can see, no. We can have the fans connected to the pumps power connectors (so the fan speeds will change independently from the rest) but the problem is then how do you control the RGB? The cable gives you a motherboard 3 pin RGB connector but that doesnt plug into the lian li controller box. So what I'm stuck doing is not having the AIO control the radiator fan speeds at all. I use the lian li software to control both fan speed and RGB, and use the NZXT software to only control the pump speed. Not ideal but I'm at a loss on how to get these connections using the Z73 and the lian li SL120 infinity fans.
Hi, I am new to PC building - did you say you have 6 intake fans and four outake fans? Wouldn't that create positive pressure instead of negative pressure? Also, in terms of air flow, would it be better to have the radiator+fans opposite the single exhaust fan? Thanks for your video! Just trying to learn :D
So best way for air intake is to mount the aio on the top as outtake and the one in the back as outtake and the ones in the front and the bottom as intake
To the OP, It's always best to have a positive pressure if possible. For dual AIO setup having a negative will be fine as well. If you have a heatsink GPU then it's best to have positive only.
Thanks for the great video, I use asus z790 pro A wifi 6 mother board, but I found the Power button for the case doesn't work and I have to press the pw button on the mother board to turn it on each time. Do you know why this happened? Appreciate it!
Alright so where you plugged the cable into sync 4. I don’t have the cable…did that come with the single fans or the triple pack. I’m trying to connect the fan power to AIO fan headers but I having to connect to the controller box for rgb control
I am looking at getting this case and mounting my AIO in the same place. I guess I could use the reversible infinity fans to pull air through the radiator and get the best look from the fans?
So I have a similar build and also purchased the USB Y splitter you have linked in the description. My issue is that the software doesn't recognize my hardware now. I have the Z73 kraken AIO, NZXT fans connected to the controller, and then the controller for the lian li strimer plus V2. I have the AIO 9 pin USB header connected to my mobo and the cam software will recognize it. I have the other 2 pin USB headers connected to that Y splitter and the Y splitter connected to my mobo. Those 2 arent not recognized by the software to be able to control the lighting. Everything powers up and works though. Am I doing something wrong?
I got everything to work except my rear fan is plugged into port #2 as a single fan on the infinity hub and it shows 0 rpm and won't spin or show rgb? I did push pull and there is enough room for it. Cable management is actually pretty hard in this case if you don't have a good plan beforehand. I used the rog thor platinum 2 and that psu is huge and I for some reason decided to top mount it... don't do that lol. I had very little space to maneuver psu cables because I used the 24 pin strimer that comes out right into the butt of the psu connectors with 0 wiggle room.
it's killing me to watch him struggle to install the radiator on a removable bracket without removing it and complaining about how much of a pain it is the entire time when it would take him only a couple of easy minutes to install, and he could have mounted it behind the bracket like he wanted to by removing the bracket

For anyone that is installing on the side bracket you can remove the full bracket by pushing down the screw on the back top right of the bracket and you can swap it around so you get the radiator closer to the back panel.
🙂 Cool, thanks, I was wondering about that
The amount of quiet rage that built up in me while you installed that radiator without popping the bracket out was irrational. Come onnnn that’s such a great feature that they added!!!!!
Same!!!! Like, come on man… it’s so easy too.
I'm not sure if this is mentioned already but the side fan bracket is removable making it easier to install everything. It's also reversible as well. This is a killer feature vs all other cases.
🙂 Thanks for the tip, I will definitely do that
11:40 actually you can easily remove side bracket using quick latch mechanism, install the radiator on either side and then easily install it back.
At 10:15 you try to fit the 360 AIO in from the rear of the side mount bracket. What you don't seem to realize is that bracket is removable. You could have removed it, installed the AIO, ran the CPU mount and houses through the opening you were demonstrating it wouldn't fit with the side panel installed in the case, installed the AIO to the side panel, and reinstalled the bracket the way you were trying to in the video. One thing I also discovered by reading the manual for the case, the side mount bracket can be installed in two ways. The direction it is installed in the video, and the other direction, where it is flipped around and closer to the side panel. All-in-all I really like this case and your review is really top notch as usual.
Yes I did contemplate that as a possibility after I made the video. 🤣
also the glass front panel is removable and that one could also have been removed.
thats what I was thinking. anybody know if doing this would it still be possible to install fans on the inside of the case over top the radiator in a push/pull setup? (i know its overkill... but i still want to try it if i can LoL )
@@jessielees there should be enough space for push,pull but if its too tight you can always remove one set
@@jessielees best place to do it is vertical radiator mount, top mounting might be too tight for mbo connections
I bought a new computer with this case and couldn't figure out how to open the side. Within a minute of your thorough video, i did. Thanks!
You are welcome!
This is the best build video I’ve seen using this case. Very helpful!
Thanks Steve. Glad you found it useful. Hope you enjoyed enough to sub
I just picked up this case on sale, so excited to refresh my build. I randomly out of the blue decided to do an all white build (minus my gpu I waited 2 years for) Going to also be getting the infinity fans can't wait to have a build that looks insane like the one you just made!
Good times. Hope you enjoy and the build guide helps. 👍
@@TheProvokedPrawn can you build me one
I just built my first PC in this case. I used an Asus Prime Z790-A, an i7 13700k, White Corsair H150i Elite Capellix (with its fans) mounted at the top, 6 Lian Li AL120 mounted side and bottom, 850W Asus ROG Strix white PSU, 2TB Samsung 980 Pro, 2x16 White Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR5 @6200 MT/s (Had to turn it down to 6000 because crashes) and the same type of GPU but in the 3080 version vertically mounted. It turned out beautiful! This video helped a lot!
Can you do a completely video on using Lian li infinity fans on the kraken z73 and how to set them up , aka what and where to plug in the cables if you are daisy chain running the lian li infinity fans , please !
Your videos have helped me alot but I am stumped on this one !
I’m doing the same thing. I am guessing that I don’t need to use the fan lead or the RGB lead coming off of the pump since the fans are controlled through the Lian Li hub?
Pretty much just giving it set a power and plugging in the USB lead
From what I gather if u bought a single inf fan they come with standard connection like 3pin rgb and pwm fan but If u were to daisy chain that single fan into 2 from a 3 pack u could use the cpu fan header for ur radiator.. I'm trying it now for my build as I also was stumped but prawn be helping cause I never thought of that lol
@@dandoge8999 I'm not sure I understand what you are saying here. I have the Z73 and I'm using all Lian Li SL120 infinity fans. The single or 3 fan kit does not provide you with a cable to connect the lian li fans that would be connected to the lian li controller. The 3 fan kit only comes with 4 single flat connectors that provide power and RGB input, these connect to the 4 thin ports on the controller. The single fan provides you with a single connector that splits into a connector for the power (which would let you connect your fans to the PWM output of the z73 pump) and a 3 pin RGB connector. This 3 pin RGB connector can't connect to the lian li controller box because the ports are 4 pin connectors, not 3. So based on the cables you get from the 3 fan pack or the single pack, your only options are to connect your lian li fans to the pump power and then you have to connect your RGB to the motherboard, or you use the cable from the 3 fan pack to connector to the controller for power and RGB but no control over the fan speed by the AIO pump. I dont know what cable @TheProvokedPrawn is using in the video but it is not found with either infinity fan kits.
@@Newms118 Confirming what Newms118 said is true. I’m completely stuck with that stupid 4 pin RGB cord that comes with the single Infinity Fan as it cannot connect with the controller….
If you've mounted the M.2 add-on card at the bottom slot, then you might still be able to mount the vertical GPU bracket in the lower position since mine does not overlap with the bottom 2 PCI brackets.
Thank you for putting up this vid. I have an XL version of the Dynamic, and I couldn't figure out how to take out the bracket. Your video is the only one lol. Have a great one!
You are welcome!

Glad to hear it 👍🦐 thank you
I went with the XL, the extra room is appreciated, and the end result is about the same. But with vertical mount it gives the graphics card more room the breath.
Yeah the XL is a great case. One of my all time faves.

You might be using the upper installation of the vertical mount, thats why its covering the AIO display. Try changing it to the lower mounting.
I just got the Lian Li Infinitiy fans to upgrade from the ML120s from Corsair - they're going to look SO nice in the Dynamic Evo!!!
Yeah they do
Excellent work PP

I updated the bios via the bios usb flashback function to make sure the bios is up to date to be able to run the 13th gen and got the update successful on the oled mini screen on the motherboard. I then tried to boot up the pc and motherboard turns on and so does the ram and the aio turns on and off and nothing else . The GPU and the fans do not turn on and the pc doesnt boot up. This is my first time doing a build and am clueless right now. Any help is apreciated
Try clearing the CMOS. This will reset the BIOS into factory settings. When the BIOS is reset you can try updating your BIOS once again.
I'm about to build a very similar system and I'm worried about doing the flashback without seeing it on the screen. Did Roski's suggestion of clearing the CMOS work for you? I hope you got everything up an running. My local store said they could pop in a 12th gen CPU into my new Z690 motherboard to do the bios update in the store before I try to install the 13900K, so maybe that's a safer option.
You should get a little sanding block so you can easily & quickly sand all the black paint off your aio fan screwheads. They look so much better in an all white build imo.
Beautiful build. I hope to build something similar with a 7800X3D / 13900KF with a 4080 one day, with a mostly black / matte black theme to it. Also a LT720 for the AIO.
Im 100& straight, but man your voice is hot af!
Nice build as well
🤣
Thank you for the detailed info on this case and fans.
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed enough to sub
just got it an its HUGE way bigger than i thought. i wanted to out in on my desk but ill have to pit it under.
Just bought 10 of those so infinity fans. Thinking about sending them back because I'll only be able to see the exhaust fans infinity hub. It's not on the ground but it's not high enough to see the hub mirrors of the top exhaust fans. So basically $300 of the $335 worth of the fans infinity hub mirrors won't even be visible.. 😑🔫
Also, when you were mounting that rad at around 11:58, that screw up there above your right hand (the one holding the rad) is also a lever you can pull down on to eject that entire radiator rack so you wouldn't have to fiddle with it like you were. You could have taken the entire thing out like you can with the top one. Just found that out after doing exactly what you did. Feel free to open up the side of the case while the computer is off and just pull down on that screw. The whole thing is on tracks so it won't come flying out at you or fall into the case or anything. Just a heads up for the future.
The O11 Vision is even more dramatic when it comes to mounting 2,5'' SSD on the hinged door because it does not have that pass-through hole. My powercables are not going in without being forced upwards due to the door pressuring it
Thanks for the video ~ very informative. Subbed. 👍👍
Thanks for the sub!
I am thinking about this case for my 4090 build! Thanks for the tutorial :)
Nice build bron.
Thanks Swizzler.
That m.2 expansion card has to go. It’s blocking half of your bottom intake fans, and you could’ve also dropped the vertical GPU mount to the bottom setting, which wouldn’t cover your AIO display. You gotta read your manuals before you build- you left awesome features on the table!!! (You said you wanted comments for engagement!)
You'd be surprised to learn that my GPU cooling is not negatively impacted. It's fine. And I need those drives ;)
Very nice, but the watercooling radiator should have been installed at the top because the pump may break down (air bubble)...
ruclips.net/video/qQcyYHGtArs/видео.html
You're a big !fan! of Lian Li cases? 🙂 Great looking build. I like white PCs.
Hehe. I am tbh. They're solid, well built and really well thought out. Unless you stuff a massive PSU into it haha.
I love your videos!!
Thanks Ryan. Hope you're subscribed for more :)
Now I do ooops
I got this same case with a white n7 b550 mobo from NZXT and a 360mm aio from corsair. I did push/pull with the aio and mounted on top of the case. That made the AIO cover the top grommets which in my opinion looks better, especially when alot of cables are black, like the aios. I also routed some of the cables i could behind the motherboard before fully screwing it in. It sucks for future removal but in the long term, it looks nicer and cleaner. Im gonna look for a new aio though since icue is fat garbage, i cant change any settings on my LCD on the aio for the last 4 months beacues of a software update. Wasted money on it.
Great video, great set up
Thanks! Hope you enjoyed enough to subscribe!
@@TheProvokedPrawn of course
Thanks for the build demo. I'm about to build something very similar and it was great to see how you worked it all out. I never considered a white build before, but this is quite attractive. Nice work. What do you think about the Infinity Fans as compared to the AL120s? Are the specs any better? Any quieter?....Oops, just noticed you have a whole video on that. I'll check it out...
I'm really amazed they cant make a way to swap the fans around so youll always have the infinity ring :(
When applying thermal paste, the correct way is to leave a small blob in the middle. The pressure from the heatsink will get rid of any air pockets and spread it out perfectly.
Pre-spreading is not recommended to the tiny air bubbles that always happen.
Other than that. Great build. I have a similar build with the same motherboard, 12900K, corsair h150 elite aio, 64gb of trident z ddr5 6000mhz memory and two samsung 980 pro 2 tb m.2 drives in a 011 dynamic white xl. Also a 3080 ti and a corsair 1000w psu.
I chose only the best brands for my builds. I want quality! 👍🏻👍🏻
The blob in the middle may not spread perfectly, or you may leave too thick a layer of paste. I always use spread, it's efficient.
This is easy to check, just apply thermal paste to the processor and press it with glass. Manual spreading guarantees a full fit and a thin layer, but the air is squeezed out.
I have the same case and need to figure out how to rearrange my cable so it can look better. Right now it looks like chicken scratch lol but I do like those flat cables.
🙂 Thank You for the building ideas and instructions, I was wondering about how to install the 360 AIO Cooler to the side of the case
In this case specifically. Is there not enough room at the top for a 3600mm radiator? If using a full size ATX mobo?
Do you mean standard atx or eatx
You should see how the EVGA SuperNOVA P+ 1300 PSU fits in this case. It's near impossible since every cable is overbuilt and over sleeved.
should have had the radiator fan bank be an exhaust. 12900k is hot, and by pulling air in through that radiator you are causing hot air to flood the case, plus you dont get to enjoy the infinity fans. Additionally, you would switch from positive pressure to negative pressure. While this means more dust inside your system, you will also have slightly better cooling.
Surely a hot GPU generates way more heat inside the case than air blowing through a radiator. Also I would NEVER knowing generate negative pressure. Dust is everyone's worst enemy.
@@moonchild666 I go for max cooling, but it’s true that 12900k generates way more heat than a gpu
@@moonchild666 it would be interesting to measure but modern CPU’s get way hotter in any case
@@boot-strapper I think you need to understand how radiators work. If a stressed CPU running at 80⁰ for example and cooled by an AIO, the air that has passed through the rad is nowhere near that temperature. The liquid temp tends to be around the 40⁰ and lower mark. You can easily test this by stressing the CPU and simply feeling the temperature of the air coming through the radiator on your skin. Pretty cool. I have a very similar set up as the one in this video and all my temps are spot on.
@@moonchild666 same can be said of air coolers so it’s a moot point. But given that graphics card use more watts, it’s probably true that they generate more heat.
Im currently about to start my build and i always tune in to your channel for build guides. I have one question though, how did you wire the aio fans. I was planning use the connector that came with the single box version and plug it to the aio header thing, but im puzzled with where i should plug the rgb one; and if i connect it to the motherboard, will the software detect it and let me modify the lighting etc? Sorry for the barrage of questions, i haven't built a pc in 6 years heh
If you're using the cable that comes with the single pack I'd connect the power to the pump (as you said) or CPU fan on the motherboard and then connect the RGB to the Sync connector on the Lian Li control box. That'll give you RGB control from l connect. If you use the RGB header on the motherboard instead you'll need to control it via your motherboard software
@@TheProvokedPrawn I just checked the connector that comes with the single version of the fan and the rgb connector doesnt fit with the sync socket on the control box BUT i did buy the lian li argb cable kit and i found a connector there that lets me plug the rgb connector to this wire that has the connector that fits with the sync socket on the controller. THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!!
@@Zer0Thunder20 Thanks mate. I had this same issue and will order this cableset now.
great build
Thanks Stephen 😁
Nice vid! Am in the process of building my first PC and this helps a lot! One question though about the fans on the radiator: Does it matter if the pump or the Lian Li Hub controls fan speeds? I'd love to use the hub so that I can sync the RGB but if it's better the pump controls the speeds of the those 3 fans then so be it. As far as I could tell there's no splitter cable so that I can plug in the radiator fans into the hub for RGB control and into the pump for fan speeds, right?
Also btw, what are those cable holders you are using for the cables from the NZXT pump going to the radiator? Looks very neat!
I explain fan logic more here ruclips.net/video/0wPi_zNzKF4/видео.html
@@TheProvokedPrawn I actually watched that vid as well, sorry failed to mention it 😅 but since those fans seem to have a different splitter cable to the fans used in this vid (same fans I have) I’m still left with the same uncertaint. 🤔 Anyway, for now I’m happy with plugging all fans into the Lian Li hub and control fan speeds and RGB that way.
@@MJBold_1 it's fine to use the hub if you want. Or you can plug the power cable from the fan into the CPU header on your motherboard and the rgb cable into the Lian Li hub
@@TheProvokedPrawn oh that’s possible? I’ll have to double check once I get home. Thought that I did not see a plug for that RGB cable on the hub.
@@TheProvokedPrawn The problem is if you buy the 3 pack of SL Inf 120, you only get the cables that allow you to connect to Hub, but with the single pack, the cable doesn't have a connection that allows you to connect to the HUB. It has the 4-pin PWM and 3-pin ARGB connector that goes directly onto the motherboard not the controller so I can’t separate the AIO fans from the case fans. You are left with a choice of running everything from the hub, which doens't allow the pump to control fan speed, or connecting power to the pump and then RGB to the board which L-connect then wont control with all the other fans. Any solution to this?
For the radiator fans. I think, this is my personal opinion. I think it is better to exhaust them outside the case instead of intake the air from outside to mix with the already hot air inside. I think it would be cooler to exhaust the hot air outside the case compared to mixing the inside air together, if that makes sense. Idk if you have done temp tests and stuff which I haven't. This is just my logic having the intake going outside the case.
I've tried both and the difference is marginal
Why would you want your radiator to be exhausting hot air from the pc? The radiator is directly cooling your CPU. It makes a lot more sense for your radiator to be intaking fresh cold air.
@@troyxhoward if they are all intaking cold air, the air gets mixed around. If you have some that are intaking and you have an exhaust fan then it is the correct way. you dont want all them the be intake you want to have most of them intake and then have an exhaust,
@@WhosMathew I think you misunderstood me. I’m talking only about the AIO/radiator
@@troyxhoward they should of course be intake. if you make them exhaust from the air thats already in the case you are just mixed all of the air together like him, you need to do it from the outside air.
Can you please share what Y splitter you use? I have a 4 port and a 2 port but neither seems to let the fans and the strimmers work together. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
Great video :)
Thanks Matt. Glad you liked it.
Great video👍
Thanks David 👍
I've ordered the same case, cpu cooler and fans, very helpful videos you have on this cpu cooler! Still need to find out how to connect the pump when not using the default fans.
Atm i only ordered 7 fans so maybe i will be using the default fans on the radiator. When you put the radiator on the side like in this video, is it set to drag the air into the case? (i would guess) since i assume the bottom suck air into the case, and back and top exhaust (?) Thanks again, can't wait to get such a clean nice build
Found the answer, just like you said otherwise you would have 7 ehaus fans :) Problem for me is i have a real radiator outside of the case to warm up the room xD So need to figure out what will be best for me, anyway, very helpful video
Here's another video to help with fan logic and the radiator without standard fans ruclips.net/video/0wPi_zNzKF4/видео.html
Hi! Im confused what to do with all the cables when using a Z73 kraken with the lian li fans. Do I connect the single cable from the lian li fans to the controller?
I'm also confused on that. Just sitting here you tube googling trying to figure out what I do with these 3 fan cords.
Not sure if you found it, but he did a video a few days ago, which was quite helpful, as long as I can follow what I watch right lol. Find out in a few days when the rest of my fans come in
@@sueann2555 That video wont work here I believe since the V2 connector that plugs into the fan itself is a different connector from the ones on the infinity model. If we could use that cable, I'd buy a V2 single fan and use its cable for the infinity so that I can control the RGB using the controller box and let the Z73 power control the fan speeds. But from what I can see thats not possible now. Huge let down to me.
Good thing I'm a slow learner. You'll get like 100 views out of me. Haven't built in several years.
Hopefully it was clear enough?
@@TheProvokedPrawn Yes, its much more thorough than most videos. Thank you
Thanks for the in-depth video. I am trying to do a similar setup. Can you clarify how the strimer controller is connected? Is strimer controller connected to the uni-fan controller? If so, are additional special cables needed?
To ita own controller. I did a video on it if it helps
Looks sweet. Could you not put the radiatator the other side of the bracket and attach with longer screws through the fans from the front?
Possibly. Or as someone else pointed out , the bracket is removable 🤣
Such a shame the infinity glass cant be swapped each way.. bottom and radiator area would have looked awesome with the glass.. but i suppose positive airflow is better :(
Great build! I'm planning on doing something similar however for the GPU I would like to use a 4090 aorus waterforce, is this case capable of installing 2 360mm radiators. the CPU AIO radiator to be mounted on the top and the GPU radiator mounted on the side, The GPU radiator I think would have to be rotated 180 compared to what you have here and I'm not sure if that fan along the bottom will cause a clearance issue
Nice. I was wondering if the LianLi INF fans will be compatible with the Arctic 360 freezer ii since that is what I am planning to put into the EVO.
You can use any 120mm fans on any radiator
Hey Prawn I’ll be doing a very similar build next weekend and my question for you is if I do a push pull with my radiator on top, an intake top left, then exhaust through the back and the bottom do you think it will be a healthy airflow? I’m new to building that would be 13 fans in total thanks!
Did you end up using L-connect software to control your fan speeds and rgb or did you use the motherboard? If you did use the motherboard did it only take 1 5v rgb header and 1 pwm fan header to control all those fans using the L-connect box?
For the top rad fans, you swapped out from NZXT to Lian Li. Did you use 3 single pack fans or the 3 pack ? Thanks.
ruclips.net/video/v5kDVZmePYQ/видео.html
At 19:00, you mention connecting the radiator fans' power to the pump and the RGB connection to the sync connector in the Lian Li controller. At 19:27 you show that RGB cable. Is that some adapter you bough separately? Because the infinity fans don't come with that 3-pin cable that you seem to be plugging into the Sync port. It comes with a header that can only plug into the addressable RGB header on motherboard.
I'm putting my system together and I'm really stuck how I get the speed of my Infinity fans on the radiator to be controlled by the Kraken pump but for their lighting to be controlled by L-Connect. I would really appreciate help with this issue.
Comes with the single fans
When I swapped my MSI MEG Coreliquid s360 fans for the Lian Li infinity fans the rgb connectors did not fit with the 3 connector cable it came with or the controller. The cables that came with my fans did not have the same RGB connector as you show in the video but rather the flat 4 pin wide, 3 pin. I'm stumped.
So i´m building my first pc and i can´t seem to find the cable at 19:25 . I have the Uni Fan 3x120 with the hub and the Nzxt Kraken 73. IN which box should it be or is it bought seperately?
That comes with a single pack. You might be able to get just the case from somewhere like this www.aliexpress.com/store/group/UNI-FAN-SL-V2/911265363_40000002979449.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.100008.5.33da164bJeFuv9
Ok so the fan logo is the direction that the air is going to move to? Example being seeing the logo on the radiator fans mean that air is flowing towards the interior of the case?
Did you use any reverse blad fans? Using same case with aio at the top. 3 fans on bottom 1 back and 3 in side.
Not here but I did later on
these Fans are 35usd PER FAN
you have 9 of them in that case,
include the 200 usd price point of the case itself
add the RGB Cable there,
and your getting a 550 usd price for he Case and Fans alone.
Without buying 1 piece of hardware.
This is an easily 2000-3000 USD (in the states, double it for europe) PC.
it's not for everyone.
Why you don't use the reverse lian lin fans, so you can see the infinity effect on the inside of the housing?
Because this video was made before they came out? 😂
@@TheProvokedPrawn haha got it
Hello, I have gotten into
Building my first gaming pc and for the case I have bought the Lian Li mesh airflow atx case. but my question is I have bought a cooler master masterfan and was wondering would a nzxt kraken 240 RGB Aio CPU Cooler would be compatible with the fans I’ve bought and the fans that comes in the Lian Li case
Last thing - there’s plenty of room back there for cable management if you don’t get a small nuclear power plant for a PSU lol
40 series GPU (coming) and Core i9 processor. Power needed. :)
@The Provoked Prawn core i9 probably, and I've heard that the 4090 can be flashed to use something like 1000 watts lol but my housemate got the 4090 just recently on a 850W psu and it runs fine, as does his old 3090ti on my 850W psu with an i7 13700K and the 3090ti uses a lot more power than the 4090 😅
Has the second build with the I9 been posted?
ruclips.net/video/4vc2P-nnY5E/видео.html
Fine with the thermal paste. Do mine like I'm painting a wall, nice and even and no patches.
It works :)
Two things; Why use a motherboard built for water cooling when you're not gonna water cool it? Why not, to reduce tension on the tubing and be more aesthetically pleasing, just put the radiator at the top?
not only that, using rad’s as intake it’s always better to have fans on the other side
One, I was always planning on upgrading to a full liquid loop system but haven't had time yet. Two because I prefer the aesthetics of side mounting and intaking through it.
No
So i was building this pc, and i cant figure out how to Mount the gpu horizontally. Turns out the gpu was hitting the case, how did you mount your gpu
made the mistake thinking i could fit a XFX 6950XT in my H510 with a kraken X3. Currently looking to buy this or a HYTE y60. I do like the all white aesthetic if the Lian Li more though. just cant afford a case after buying the gpu for now
What are your cpu temps like with the kraken z73? I have the kraken x53 and it sucks. But wondering if this is good?
Have the i9-12900k as well

Question, did you connect the AIO fans to the Lian Li controller or to the NZXT pump? I have the Kraken Z73 and want to buy those SL120 but I'm a little lost on the wiring
In this instance I connected them to the controller but the other options are to use the connection that comes with the single fan box and use that to connect to either the pump head breakout or the CPU fan header on the motherboard. Those two options are probably better.
@@TheProvokedPrawn hey could you explain that a little more in detail? I’m currently working on a build with these fans and a z73 and am totally lost on where to plug everything. Is it possible to have the 3 fans connected to the AIO change speed independently from the other 6 fans?
@@TheProvokedPrawn So is there no way you can connect the infinity fans where the lian li control box provides RGB and the AIO pump provides power? I dont see what cable you can do this with and I bought the single and 3 fan pack. They only provide cables that allow you connect only the controller, or you have a cable that splits into one that connects to the power for the pump and then a 3 pin RGB header on the motherboard. The problem is the controller only provides you two 4-pin connectors but ZERO cables that can connect to it (its the sync connectors). So is there some cable that connects to the 3 pin RGB motherboard connector and converts it into a 4 pin sync connector?
@@stevein From what I can see, no. We can have the fans connected to the pumps power connectors (so the fan speeds will change independently from the rest) but the problem is then how do you control the RGB? The cable gives you a motherboard 3 pin RGB connector but that doesnt plug into the lian li controller box. So what I'm stuck doing is not having the AIO control the radiator fan speeds at all. I use the lian li software to control both fan speed and RGB, and use the NZXT software to only control the pump speed. Not ideal but I'm at a loss on how to get these connections using the Z73 and the lian li SL120 infinity fans.
That's a massive GPU, did you use the anti-sag bracket? Was looking but didn't see that process.
I didn't tbh
Are the fans installed in this 120mm or 140mm?
Hi, I am new to PC building - did you say you have 6 intake fans and four outake fans? Wouldn't that create positive pressure instead of negative pressure?
Also, in terms of air flow, would it be better to have the radiator+fans opposite the single exhaust fan?
Thanks for your video! Just trying to learn :D
So best way for air intake is to mount the aio on the top as outtake and the one in the back as outtake and the ones in the front and the bottom as intake
From my understanding its the best way
To the OP, It's always best to have a positive pressure if possible. For dual AIO setup having a negative will be fine as well. If you have a heatsink GPU then it's best to have positive only.
Thanks for the great video, I use asus z790 pro A wifi 6 mother board, but I found the Power button for the case doesn't work and I have to press the pw button on the mother board to turn it on each time. Do you know why this happened? Appreciate it!
Can you please do a build in the Thermaltake View 51 case?
Alas I have no relationship with Thermaltake yet.
Alright so where you plugged the cable into sync 4. I don’t have the cable…did that come with the single fans or the triple pack. I’m trying to connect the fan power to AIO fan headers but I having to connect to the controller box for rgb control
I am looking at getting this case and mounting my AIO in the same place. I guess I could use the reversible infinity fans to pull air through the radiator and get the best look from the fans?

Thank you!!!
u shuld buy corsair x1500 shift for this case
So I have a similar build and also purchased the USB Y splitter you have linked in the description. My issue is that the software doesn't recognize my hardware now. I have the Z73 kraken AIO, NZXT fans connected to the controller, and then the controller for the lian li strimer plus V2. I have the AIO 9 pin USB header connected to my mobo and the cam software will recognize it. I have the other 2 pin USB headers connected to that Y splitter and the Y splitter connected to my mobo. Those 2 arent not recognized by the software to be able to control the lighting. Everything powers up and works though. Am I doing something wrong?
Would you recommend to install the Lian li fans on the motherboard even you using the connector ?

I got everything to work except my rear fan is plugged into port #2 as a single fan on the infinity hub and it shows 0 rpm and won't spin or show rgb? I did push pull and there is enough room for it. Cable management is actually pretty hard in this case if you don't have a good plan beforehand. I used the rog thor platinum 2 and that psu is huge and I for some reason decided to top mount it... don't do that lol. I had very little space to maneuver psu cables because I used the 24 pin strimer that comes out right into the butt of the psu connectors with 0 wiggle room.
it's killing me to watch him struggle to install the radiator on a removable bracket without removing it and complaining about how much of a pain it is the entire time when it would take him only a couple of easy minutes to install, and he could have mounted it behind the bracket like he wanted to by removing the bracket
Yup
