Hello provoked prawn I just wanted to say that my 5v cable isn’t letting me put it in with I’m using the controller. My motherboard is the ASUS prime X670E
I have built my gig this weekend and connected all the TLConnector cables, when I installed LConnect EVERYTHING BUGGED and was breaking my back just to know what was happening. Saw your video and now i know that you don't need to put 5v and CHA/PWM cables and nothing that is said in the manual. You saved my life!
Lol I made this same mistake i figured it out pretty quick no video required I might of just got lucky though I hav 2 diffrent rgb controllers and had the run to each other needless say my computer didn't like that I had the mobo port on my l connect polygamy into my other controller ginkgo they might just sync but it didn't lol
The plot thickens further when you add their Gallahad II LCD and/or Infinity SL fans to the mix. The infinity fans (which have a better center hub look than the TL series in my opinion) have a different set of connectors, so no mixing and matching there, and can't be daisy chained like this. The radiator, depending on which version you get (like the 280mm) uses yet ANOTHER kind of fan, with its own unique connector. So if you want to try to get all of these things to play nice with one another you're looking at plugging in 2-3 hubs (power and USB 2.0 headers), plus a variety pack of wiring to get each fan group back to the controller. Obviously it's a little easier if you just go with one type of fan for the entire case, but where's the fun in that?
This is the issue I have with Lian Li. They create all those cool products...that can't be used with each other lol, even the 1st & 2nd gen SL fans aren't compatible
Exactly. I have SL Infinity Fans, A Gallahad 2 and Strimers and will be replacing 3 of the SL Infinity Fans with 3 of these new LCD fans but gonna have fun trying to figure out the wiring and room for extra controller, USB etc..
L-Connect in general has so many issues with it and the fact they even released the TL fans before ironing out the issues with the software is beyond me.
Yeah it’s just mental. I’ve decided to forget about those beautiful infinity fans and stick with the regular TL ones (at least they have the infinity effect on the sides). And I’ll use the TL LCD fans with the fans on the Galahad II for a push/pull intake, and the TL LCD fans for rear extract (Vision case).
Thanks mate, helped with setting uo my system, sadly I got one sl fan didn't realise I could use with the tl will have to take it back. But now I know cause of your videos! Cheers

You could use the Galahad controller assuming you have single pack fans with the two cables and you use the adapter. I think I showed it in my Galahad 2 LCD setup guide?
Hi there! Can you help me… I have 2 LCD fans + 1 HUB Connected all 3 cables, the USB cable from the hub to motherboard, RGB to motherboard , & 4 pin fan cable to motherboard.

Now, im also installing the Strimmers for motherboard AND GPU. So thats another hub...I ordered another USB splitter for my motherboard so give me 2 extra slots...so many USB powered things gah
Question regarding the 10 fans on a single port, then using a SATA connection. Would it be possible to put 6 intake fans on one port of the controller, then 4 exhaust fans on another port of the controller to remove the need of the sata cable?

@@scorew7072 fixed my issue last night, instead of using one control hub I installed another. One hub for Aio/3fans another hub for 7other fans including 3lcd. Works perfect now
So I bought 3 reverse TL fans for my build, I want to buy the Hydroshift for my build but I am building in the 011 Vision case, so I will be mounting the AIO on the side, I want it to be intake of course so do I need to buy the TL version of Hydroshift or can I get the cheaper version the SIlent none RGB or TL and just replace the fans on it?
Build I did still missing an lcd fan. Tried swapping the fans around, made sure they weren't daisy chained, made sure was plugged into right end and put it on its own controller... still 1 screen missing. Nice one LL 🤣
Excuse me. I don't understand how the connections are to control the fans in case you have a Lian li Dynamic Evo RGB case so that you can control the fans from the buttons on the case. Do I have to connect the 4pin5volt connector from the case to the moder board and also the same connector from the controller to another male connector on the moder board? Do they take up two connectors on the moder board?
Looking for help. I have 3 reverse blade uni lt 3 reverse uni lt lcd one lt exhaust and the lt hydroshift 360 installed into the hub. The hydroshift shows up on l connect but the the other fans don't. Windows is up to date. I've downloaded all new drivers. And updated l connect 3. All the fans are running and rgb is on rainbow.

Hello. I have a question: My power supply has several 6-pin SATA/PATA connectors. Is it possible to connect the UNI FAN TL controller to those inputs or should I connect it to PCI 8-2? Thank you.
i have an RX 7900 XTX that uses the 3 PCIe cables of my power supply but the end of one of those cables is a pigtail cable, could i use that to power the controller? I'm thinking about having 6 TL-120 non LCD fans.
Hi, quick question. Does this set of fans require to usb connections or just the one? I see in the explanation you only have 1 but in the instal you put in 2?
I have bought two Infinity Lian Li fans and they both came with the standard cable, one connector for PWM and one for the ARGB which get plugged into the motherboard or a generic controller. I want to get a 3 Pack LCD set. Will the set include a cable which I can connect for my existing fans into the controller or only the 3 pack Infinity Fans come with the cables which go into the Lian Li controller?
Can I have 120mm TL and 140mm TL connected to a single TL controller? I'm not sure if fan size matters for controller even though they're of the same TL fans.
It seems it is not possible to let nzxt cam control the TL fan speeds. I plugged the pwm cable from the lian li controler into the kraken elite pwm splitter, but it doesn't allow Nzxt cam to read or set rpm. Can you confirm or in i doing something wrong?
I'm probably late on this but I have a question because I'm still confused lol. You can't connect 3 TL fans and 1 TL LCD fans on a single connection right???
am i wrong or the lian li controler are for exclusively for the fans? i mean, i want the galahad 2 lcd but im going to swap the fans for the TL model that i already have. am i going to need another lian li controller or can i use the 12TL-CONT3B for everything?
Nice video, I have a question for the setup I’m going to use. I’ve bought 3 inverted TL-140 mm which I’m going to use as intake on the bottom with the interlocking mechanism. My question is: can I then daisy chain this cluster with a 120 mm (so not 140!) TL NOT inverted fan which I want to use as exhaust on the rear? So basically a cluster (with interlocking) of 3x140mm inverted daisy chained with a single non-inverted 120mm fan
Is there any possible way to run more than 7 fans in your system? I have 8 of these currently and hooking up the fans with 2 controllers always leaves 1 with the lcd off.
Stupid question but are the LCD screens controlled by L-connect too snd if so is there an alternative software that can control tje LCD screens? I have 2 groups of 3 120 inf's and 2 separate hubs for each group anf and I am using signal RGB, I was thinking of getting one of the LCD fans but if I need to use L-connect then I am afraid it will conflict with signal RGB Signal RGB bitches about any other RGB process that is running , si would it be possible to control the LCD screen without using L-connect?
Brilliant video, thanks for creating! Now I just need somewhere to get the controller in stock as a standalone item as I only want 140s and they don't seem to do a triple pack with the controller :(
So what I’m planning is to use the O11 Evo Xl with the Corsair ICue Link AIO and 3 Corsair fans on the bottom and then 3 of the LCD Lian Li fans on the side in reverse for a very clean looking system. Should be a relatively easy installation shouldn’t it ? Just the two connectors ?
My LCD fans create an AMD Driver Timeout and i cant use the sensors or Animations properly. Did you have such problems ? (They are on Port 1 tho. So this might be the problem)
I bought the new liquid cooler and a 3 pack if fans. Can they be connected to eachother? My motherboard doesnt have 5v access except for my hub but i cant change the colour then i dont think. They arrive tomorrow and it would be super convenient as i know my new cooler and fans use the exact same fan model
Hello great video! But I was curious, if i do not have a hub for the Lian li Infinity, can i connect the infinity's to the Controller Hub of the LCD's? Or do I have to get another Hub for the infinities? But awesome video!
@TheProvokedPawn Hello! First of all, I wanted to congratulate you for your content. It is very useful and very detailed. After watching the video, I have a question: can a 120 TL LED be connected in a daisy chain with a 140 TL LED? Greetings!
Hi, I just watch your video and I see you can connect 2 pack fan with 1 cable. Can you tell me where to buy this cable ("Cables that can connect at either end of the chain of fans"). Thank you so much!
Holy cow, very informative video for sure, my head is still spinning :) I have the EVGA 1200 P2, it has six VGA connections on the back. As I have a Suprim X 3080 it takes three, so provided that my manufacturer has included a second cable, I should be good to go??
Does anyone know, if I buy a 3 pack of 120 LCDs for my Gallahad 2 Rad, can I put the default 120mm Infinities and the LCDS on the same controller? I thought I heard you couldn't but I'm not sure, anyone? Thanks a lot.
New PC build here. Any idea why my 7 TL LCD fans don’t spin on start up, and does not show any RGB.. the only thing it does is turn on all 7 lcd screen. (New build so I do not currently have L connect if that matters. Just figured the standard rainbow rgb, and fans should be working instantly)
If you do use the motherboard sync feature for either or both rgb and fan control, do you need to keep the software running in the background or can you set it up once then shutdown l-connect and not have it run anymore?
Hello there, nice video, i actually have a question, i have rog b550F gaming wifi motherboard wich have 1x argb connector, is it enough for 3x 3pack will be working that lighting ? Thanks for answer.❤
Good day. Perfect video and perfect explination. I just have one problem, my reverse blade do work and i cant understand why. 😢 Can you put REVERSE BLADE and NORMAL blade in one controler? And should that controler be plug in straight to POWER SUPPLY? Please waiting for answer 😊
Can I use SL-Infinte fans on my radiator AIO then use LCD on the side and SL-Infinite on the bottom? So I’ll essentially need two controllers? 1 for the LCD and 1 for the 6 SL-Infinite fans.
Is there a major difference in performance between the TL and SL 120mm Infinity fans? Or are they just maybe 1-2 degrees off? I like the looks of the SL, but if the TL perform better at a lower noise level, might be worth going for.
I have (7)120mm AL fans and (2) 140s, all connected to a hub. I am considering upgrading the 140s and possibly one of the 120s to the new LCD models. I am guessing I will have to upgrade my hub, but will the new hub be able to support the existing 120 AL fans as well as the new LCD 140s?
Question good sir , So I have 1 hub with 2 (3pack) lcd fans connected to my hub. So that is 2 channels , 1 for each 3 pack . Also I have a lian li infinity fan also connected to the hub on its own channel with its hub cable but that one doesn’t turn on . Do I need a separate hub for that inf fan because it’s not a lcd like the rest ?
@@TheProvokedPrawn thank you for that, was going crazy trying to figure this out but i had some what of an idea. what if it was a 140mm lcd ? would that need to be connected to its own hub because its not a 120mm like the rest?
I had that problem with thermaltake swafans. Ended up having to connect both 140s at the bottom separately. And remove the rubber grommets. Took it a step further got rid of the H6 and got a evo RGB and these fans😅
So I already have my case front headers into one USB and a lian li hub from my trinity AIO in the other. Each requires a USB slot on the mobo so I am out now. How do you remedy this?
Can I avoid using L-Connect entirely by connecting the fan header and ARGB headers? And if so, would I be able to avoid connecting the controller it to a usb header?
@@TheProvokedPrawn Awesome thanks. And your videos are great. I ordered 2 of the triple packs (non LCD). They're on backorder everywhere so I won't get them until Thursday. I've never done an RGB build and I feel weird about having a lot of software running to maintain it all. I have a ASUS Z790-E MB with 3 ARGB headers and I was hoping to let the MB handle everything.
Thanks for your recent videos on the Lian Li releases. Really useful. I have a few questions leftover after watching them. Perhaps you could answer or maybe even pull together a FAQ. Here goes... What's your thoughts on SL INF vs the new TL and TL LCD fans? I think you mentioned in another video that you preferred the INF fans, but what's your reasoning? It also looks like the AIOs only come with INF fans, is that right? I'm assuming you can swap out the fans on the AIO if going for the TL fans but seems wasteful. Would also like to hear your take on 120 vs 140mm in the 011D Evo RGB. I'd imagine it might look quite squashed and cant imagine the airflow/sound would be improved that much for the aesthetic sacrifice.
That's a lot of questions 🤣 I prefer the look of the infinity fans personally, though the TL fans are technically superior (I believe) specs and performance wise, though I'm yet to test it. You can get the Galahad 2 LCD with or without Infinity fans and yes you can swap them for TL, I have here and it's easy enough to do, you just use the TL controller and then set L connect for the fan speed relevant to the CPU temp. Thanks for the super thanks and Merry Christmas Oh and as for 140mm I'm not sure as I only used 120 but generally 140 fill the gaps more nicely and can cool better without spinning as fast. So they're preferable. Look at the bottom and top fans in the Evo XL in my Vs video and you'll see the difference
This may sound like a stupid question but I’ve ordered 10 TL LCD fans, 6 reverse, 4 normal. Does this mean I’ll just need two controllers to power them? Or am I going to experience issues with not having enough slots on the motherboard?
Yes, the fans all work without issue up until the point I connect it to the USB header on my motherboard. The motherboard has 3 USB 2.0 headers and I have tried all of them
You might be able to use the TL controller but unfortunately I've not tested. So yes, you might need two controllers. Alas I don't know for certain. I need to investigate.
@@TheProvokedPrawn there’s a different power requirement for the infinity fans and the tl. The infinity fans need a lot less power hence the use of double sata connectors while the tl need an actual psu cable. The LCD screens need more power than leds need and I doubt that Lian Li wanted to use usb power for that.
The lighting of my lcd fans were working at the beginning, but after installing and updating l connect, my lcd fan color stays in the same static white color. I can change the displayed image, but not the rgb lighting. And after restarting my pc, the option to change one lcd display is gone in l connect. Do you know what the problem could be? I think i wired everything up correctly: Power cable -> pcie 6 pin Usb -> usb slot 3 pin argb -> argb slot 4 pin -> cpu fan slot (because my lcd fans are my aio fans)
Hey i really enjoyed the detailed explanation, I just finished my new build and have installed 9 Tl fans on my pc, 3 lcd on the side 3 tl led at the bottom and 3 tl led at the top, so i replaced the standard fans that came with the lian li galahad lcd aio with 3 tl fans instead and connected them into the controller, so i am using 3 ports, however the three top fans are not lighting up or showing as connected in the software but they are spinning and working, on the l3 connect software it shows port 2 and 3 fans which are the ones at the bottom and the lcd fans on the side and it also shows the aio too. i been trying to find out why this is and i have checked everywhere but im not sure why this is the case, any information or help would be appreciated so much 🙏🏻
I've always wondered after watching videos about the TL LCDs. Would using the old Lian Li UNI SL INF fans with these LCDs be a weird match? In my opinion the regular versions are kind of meh, I'd rather the infinity fans, but I'd want the LCDs. Great video btw
yeah INF have better center, but then TL have better sides, INF blade is better tho...it may be also a brightness diferences in the two. There are people reporting that.@@sir_numbskull
I just finished building my Lian Li system with the help of your tutorial videos. I could not have done it without them, so huge thank you!

So do I need a bigger power supply if these fans take a PCIE connection?
I’m running 7900XTX with 7800X3D haha
Hello. I have a question: My power supply has several 6-pin SATA/PATA connectors. Is it possible to connect the UNI FAN TL controller to those inputs or should I connect it to PCI 8-2? Thank you.
i have an RX 7900 XTX that uses the 3 PCIe cables of my power supply but the end of one of those cables is a pigtail cable, could i use that to power the controller? I'm thinking about having 6 TL-120 non LCD fans.
Hi, quick question. Does this set of fans require to usb connections or just the one? I see in the explanation you only have 1 but in the instal you put in 2?
Have you made a video that includes the aio into this build ?
Sort of ruclips.net/video/LZz2uhZAWzU/видео.html
I have bought two Infinity Lian Li fans and they both came with the standard cable, one connector for PWM and one for the ARGB which get plugged into the motherboard or a generic controller. I want to get a 3 Pack LCD set. Will the set include a cable which I can connect for my existing fans into the controller or only the 3 pack Infinity Fans come with the cables which go into the Lian Li controller?
Hey mate, my LConnect 3 programme doesn't show the TL fan utility, but it shows SL instead. how can i fix this?
Can I have 120mm TL and 140mm TL connected to a single TL controller? I'm not sure if fan size matters for controller even though they're of the same TL fans.
It seems it is not possible to let nzxt cam control the TL fan speeds. I plugged the pwm cable from the lian li controler into the kraken elite pwm splitter, but it doesn't allow Nzxt cam to read or set rpm. Can you confirm or in i doing something wrong?
Question…. Will this lcd fans pair well with the trinity II NON LCD Aio as the aio fans?
I wouldn't put the LCD fans on an AIO tbh. Mostly because the cooling performance won't be as good
@ what about the trinity lcd version?
I'm probably late on this but I have a question because I'm still confused lol. You can't connect 3 TL fans and 1 TL LCD fans on a single connection right???
No
Is there a way at that I can utilize my SL infinity fans with TL lcd fans? On separate hubs of course in my pc.
am i wrong or the lian li controler are for exclusively for the fans? i mean, i want the galahad 2 lcd but im going to swap the fans for the TL model that i already have. am i going to need another lian li controller or can i use the 12TL-CONT3B for everything?
Nice video, I have a question for the setup I’m going to use. I’ve bought 3 inverted TL-140 mm which I’m going to use as intake on the bottom with the interlocking mechanism. My question is: can I then daisy chain this cluster with a 120 mm (so not 140!) TL NOT inverted fan which I want to use as exhaust on the rear? So basically a cluster (with interlocking) of 3x140mm inverted daisy chained with a single non-inverted 120mm fan
Did you switch out the SL-inf fans for the radiator and replaced with the TL fans?
Yes but only to make them match the rest. You don't have to.
Is there any possible way to run more than 7 fans in your system? I have 8 of these currently and hooking up the fans with 2 controllers always leaves 1 with the lcd off.
So for the O11 config I have the Galahad 2 lcd but want this new system how many fans or packs would I need outside of the 3 pack lcd reverse ones?
Stupid question but are the LCD screens controlled by L-connect too snd if so is there an alternative software that can control tje LCD screens?
I have 2 groups of 3 120 inf's and 2 separate hubs for each group anf and I am using signal RGB, I was thinking of getting one of the LCD fans but if I need to use L-connect then I am afraid it will conflict with signal RGB
Signal RGB bitches about any other RGB process that is running , si would it be possible to control the LCD screen without using L-connect?
How do these fit with the cable side on the fittings end of a radiator on a custom loop? Will the plastic wire end collide with the fittings?
They can be connected on either end.
Brilliant video, thanks for creating! Now I just need somewhere to get the controller in stock as a standalone item as I only want 140s and they don't seem to do a triple pack with the controller :(
Yeah sadly they won't sell 140s that way
@@TheProvokedPrawn seems a bit silly when you can put 9 of the damned things in the Evo XL.
I have EK CPU RGB 3 pin, can I connect it to Lian Li Controller TL series?
So what I’m planning is to use the O11 Evo Xl with the Corsair ICue Link AIO and 3 Corsair fans on the bottom and then 3 of the LCD Lian Li fans on the side in reverse for a very clean looking system. Should be a relatively easy installation shouldn’t it ? Just the two connectors ?
My LCD fans create an AMD Driver Timeout and i cant use the sensors or Animations properly.
Did you have such problems ? (They are on Port 1 tho. So this might be the problem)
Can someone help me I have th lian li uni TL LCD and the cable I have the hooks are broken I can’t find a replacement cable for the TL LCD wiring
I bought the new liquid cooler and a 3 pack if fans. Can they be connected to eachother? My motherboard doesnt have 5v access except for my hub but i cant change the colour then i dont think. They arrive tomorrow and it would be super convenient as i know my new cooler and fans use the exact same fan model
Hello great video! But I was curious, if i do not have a hub for the Lian li Infinity, can i connect the infinity's to the Controller Hub of the LCD's? Or do I have to get another Hub for the infinities? But awesome video!
I've not tested so can't say. But usual Lian Li says not to use different fans with different controllers
@TheProvokedPawn Hello! First of all, I wanted to congratulate you for your content. It is very useful and very detailed. After watching the video, I have a question: can a 120 TL LED be connected in a daisy chain with a 140 TL LED? Greetings!
@TheProvokedPrawn
Could I have 3 LCD fans and the Infiniti mirror fans hooked up to the same control hub?
No. You need both the TL controller and SL-INF controller to do that.
@@TheProvokedPrawn thank you 🙏
Hi, I just watch your video and I see you can connect 2 pack fan with 1 cable. Can you tell me where to buy this cable ("Cables that can connect at either end of the chain of fans"). Thank you so much!
It was included with the triple pack
@@TheProvokedPrawn I just realized that this cable can only be used for TL120 fans, not for TL LCD fans
Can you mix different lian li fan models to one hub. I have a build I’m making that uses the lcd fans and the infinity glass fans
no
Holy cow, very informative video for sure, my head is still spinning :) I have the EVGA 1200 P2, it has six VGA connections on the back. As I have a Suprim X 3080 it takes three, so provided that my manufacturer has included a second cable, I should be good to go??
Hello ! Thank you for the vidéo !
A little question, do you think its possible to connect 8 LCD fans ? Maybe with 2 controller ?
Thank you !
You'd need two controllers
@@TheProvokedPrawn Thank you ;)
I noticed with one model connected 7 fan , when ever it load to window one lcd turn off
Does anyone know, if I buy a 3 pack of 120 LCDs for my Gallahad 2 Rad, can I put the default 120mm Infinities and the LCDS on the same controller? I thought I heard you couldn't but I'm not sure, anyone? Thanks a lot.
New PC build here. Any idea why my 7 TL LCD fans don’t spin on start up, and does not show any RGB.. the only thing it does is turn on all 7 lcd screen. (New build so I do not currently have L connect if that matters. Just figured the standard rainbow rgb, and fans should be working instantly)
If you do use the motherboard sync feature for either or both rgb and fan control, do you need to keep the software running in the background or can you set it up once then shutdown l-connect and not have it run anymore?
You shouldn't need it. Though you probably will for the LCD ones
What should I do if both my usb header slots are being used? You recommend a splitter if so any certain brand?

Hello there, nice video, i actually have a question, i have rog b550F gaming wifi motherboard wich have 1x argb connector, is it enough for 3x 3pack will be working that lighting ? Thanks for answer.❤
Good day. Perfect video and perfect explination. I just have one problem, my reverse blade do work and i cant understand why. 😢 Can you put REVERSE BLADE and NORMAL blade in one controler? And should that controler be plug in straight to POWER SUPPLY? Please waiting for answer 😊
Yes you can
Can I connect a group of unifan to the tl controller ? The connector is the same
Only TL or TL LCD
@@TheProvokedPrawn thanks, I already tried anyway but it didn’t work 🤣🤣🤣
Is the Sata only needed for a large group ? I plan to do 3 TL Fans (port 1) 3 TL fans port 2, 2 TL LCD port 3 and 1 TL LCD port 4.
Sata port is only necessary if you daisy chain 10 fans on one port.
Can I use SL-Infinte fans on my radiator AIO then use LCD on the side and SL-Infinite on the bottom? So I’ll essentially need two controllers? 1 for the LCD and 1 for the 6 SL-Infinite fans.
no, you can unly use TL fans with the TL controler
Is there a major difference in performance between the TL and SL 120mm Infinity fans? Or are they just maybe 1-2 degrees off? I like the looks of the SL, but if the TL perform better at a lower noise level, might be worth going for.
Specs wise I believe they are superior but I haven't tested for a thermal performance comparison
I have (7)120mm AL fans and (2) 140s, all connected to a hub. I am considering upgrading the 140s and possibly one of the 120s to the new LCD models. I am guessing I will have to upgrade my hub, but will the new hub be able to support the existing 120 AL fans as well as the new LCD 140s?
No. The TL hub only support the new TL series fans. So you can't (sadly) mix and match them.
Question good sir , So I have 1 hub with 2 (3pack) lcd fans connected to my hub. So that is 2 channels , 1 for each 3 pack . Also I have a lian li infinity fan also connected to the hub on its own channel with its hub cable but that one doesn’t turn on . Do I need a separate hub for that inf fan because it’s not a lcd like the rest ?
Yes, correct
@@TheProvokedPrawn thank you for that, was going crazy trying to figure this out but i had some what of an idea.
what if it was a 140mm lcd ? would that need to be connected to its own hub because its not a 120mm like the rest?
I bought the o11 dynamic evo rgb and im a bit confused now.
So is it correct to buy 6 reverse ones and 4 normal ones?
That is logical, yes
is there any diferences in led brightness between TL and INF?
Not sure but the INF looks way better imo with the infinity mirror in the middle
I'm not sure specs wise. And I haven't compared psychically, so I probably should when I can
Why is my fan screen is not showing like yours? I cannot change the screen display
I was considering these fans but I would need to change my case (h6!flow) since the connector would cause problems with the fitment.
I had that problem with thermaltake swafans. Ended up having to connect both 140s at the bottom separately. And remove the rubber grommets. Took it a step further got rid of the H6 and got a evo RGB and these fans😅
So I already have my case front headers into one USB and a lian li hub from my trinity AIO in the other. Each requires a USB slot on the mobo so I am out now. How do you remedy this?
Lo solucionaste?
Can I avoid using L-Connect entirely by connecting the fan header and ARGB headers? And if so, would I be able to avoid connecting the controller it to a usb header?
Yes but not for LCD fans
@@TheProvokedPrawn Awesome thanks. And your videos are great. I ordered 2 of the triple packs (non LCD). They're on backorder everywhere so I won't get them until Thursday. I've never done an RGB build and I feel weird about having a lot of software running to maintain it all. I have a ASUS Z790-E MB with 3 ARGB headers and I was hoping to let the MB handle everything.
Thanks for your recent videos on the Lian Li releases. Really useful. I have a few questions leftover after watching them. Perhaps you could answer or maybe even pull together a FAQ. Here goes... What's your thoughts on SL INF vs the new TL and TL LCD fans? I think you mentioned in another video that you preferred the INF fans, but what's your reasoning? It also looks like the AIOs only come with INF fans, is that right? I'm assuming you can swap out the fans on the AIO if going for the TL fans but seems wasteful. Would also like to hear your take on 120 vs 140mm in the 011D Evo RGB. I'd imagine it might look quite squashed and cant imagine the airflow/sound would be improved that much for the aesthetic sacrifice.
That's a lot of questions 🤣 I prefer the look of the infinity fans personally, though the TL fans are technically superior (I believe) specs and performance wise, though I'm yet to test it. You can get the Galahad 2 LCD with or without Infinity fans and yes you can swap them for TL, I have here and it's easy enough to do, you just use the TL controller and then set L connect for the fan speed relevant to the CPU temp. Thanks for the super thanks and Merry Christmas
Oh and as for 140mm I'm not sure as I only used 120 but generally 140 fill the gaps more nicely and can cool better without spinning as fast. So they're preferable. Look at the bottom and top fans in the Evo XL in my Vs video and you'll see the difference
@@TheProvokedPrawn 😂 Haha, sorry! I just discovered your channel and had a bit of a binge watch. Thanks for the thorough answer & Merry Christmas!
@@damon7224 watch away 👍🏼🦐
1 pack does not have CONTROLLER, can it use L-connect 3 ?
Only compatible with 12TL Fan Controller.
This may sound like a stupid question but I’ve ordered 10 TL LCD fans, 6 reverse, 4 normal. Does this mean I’ll just need two controllers to power them? Or am I going to experience issues with not having enough slots on the motherboard?
You can only use 7 max per controller. So yes, you'll need two controllers and probably a USB hub as well.
Any reason why when I connect my controller to the USB header the fans don't come on? Do I need to configure something in L-Connect3?
Have you plugged in the power cables too
Yes, the fans all work without issue up until the point I connect it to the USB header on my motherboard. The motherboard has 3 USB 2.0 headers and I have tried all of them
If I want 3 120 tlc lcd, 1 140 tlc lcd fan and the rest uni infinity mirror fans I need to hook them up over two separate controllers right ?
You might be able to use the TL controller but unfortunately I've not tested. So yes, you might need two controllers. Alas I don't know for certain. I need to investigate.
@@TheProvokedPrawn there’s a different power requirement for the infinity fans and the tl. The infinity fans need a lot less power hence the use of double sata connectors while the tl need an actual psu cable. The LCD screens need more power than leds need and I doubt that Lian Li wanted to use usb power for that.
Can you LCD fan to a non LCD fan all TL and still work?
Yes
I have an Evga psu , can vga cable be used as pcie ???
Probably
I’m new to building so I’ll need a PCIe 6+2-Pin Connector free for its power? My PSU has 4 if so so I’ll be good if that’s it
Yes
The lighting of my lcd fans were working at the beginning, but after installing and updating l connect, my lcd fan color stays in the same static white color.
I can change the displayed image, but not the rgb lighting.
And after restarting my pc, the option to change one lcd display is gone in l connect.
Do you know what the problem could be?
I think i wired everything up correctly:
Power cable -> pcie 6 pin
Usb -> usb slot
3 pin argb -> argb slot
4 pin -> cpu fan slot (because my lcd fans are my aio fans)
Are the LCD fans connected to slot one on the controller? Because apparently that can be an issue
@@TheProvokedPrawn
Thank you for your help!
I changed from slot 2 to 3 and it worked
I actually wondering that how can you connect TL fans while it don’t have wire to plug in CPU pins for AIO fans
The Galahad ii lcd version doesn’t plug into the fan controller so it doesn’t need matter what fans you use.
Hey i really enjoyed the detailed explanation, I just finished my new build and have installed 9 Tl fans on my pc, 3 lcd on the side 3 tl led at the bottom and 3 tl led at the top, so i replaced the standard fans that came with the lian li galahad lcd aio with 3 tl fans instead and connected them into the controller, so i am using 3 ports, however the three top fans are not lighting up or showing as connected in the software but they are spinning and working, on the l3 connect software it shows port 2 and 3 fans which are the ones at the bottom and the lcd fans on the side and it also shows the aio too. i been trying to find out why this is and i have checked everywhere but im not sure why this is the case, any information or help would be appreciated so much 🙏🏻
I think port #1 must be LED all others can be LCD.
Im using Lian Li infinite fans in my H6 Flow. Lol yes on the angle side. So the infinite is not visible 😢
Try these instead ruclips.net/video/JxhIPQJlZ2E/видео.html
why dont they have a version of this more similar to the sl infinity I think those look better
I've always wondered after watching videos about the TL LCDs.
Would using the old Lian Li UNI SL INF fans with these LCDs be a weird match? In my opinion the regular versions are kind of meh, I'd rather the infinity fans, but I'd want the LCDs. Great video btw
I'm in this same boat. I massively prefer the infinity centerpiece to the centerpiece on these fans.
yeah INF have better center, but then TL have better sides, INF blade is better tho...it may be also a brightness diferences in the two. There are people reporting that.@@sir_numbskull
Same. the Inf fan are much better looking. the blades them selves light up. these don't and no mirror in the middle. wtf ugly.
@@hassans3426 that’s because they want you to use the lcd screen ones on the fans that face you.
