Lian Li UNI FAN SL Infinity 120mm ARGB PWM Fan - Black
Introducing a new look to PC fans and a new level of installation simplicity and light effect cust...Introducing a new look to PC fans and a new level of installation simplicity and light effect customizability. The SL-Infinity fans glow clear with multi-layer effects from any visible angle. The circular-shaped infinity mirror at the center of the fan is tuned to have multiple layers spaced 0.5mm apart. Following the iconic angular lighting style of SL fans, the SL-Infinity fans have 2 thin LED strips on both sides of the fan blade. Surrounding aluminum trims are located on both sides of the frame. The geometric shape of the infinity mirror follows the front ARGB lighting strip in a top and bottom pattern that creates a 3D indented look. Inspired by AL fans, there is a bright ARGB rim of light around the LIAN LI logo at the rear. The 2nd generation of UNI FAN SL revisits the interlocking style that can connect up to 4 fans in a cluster and makes cable management simpler and improves compatibility with radiators fittings. A pin-to-pad contact point passes the signal and power through the fan cluster. The interlocking key on each fan is now removable to improve compatibility with radiators fittings. The cable module is now placed at the center of the fan and can switch orientation to reduce clearance issues with the radiator inlet and outlet. The SL-Infinity 120 features a 10% performance optimization compared to the SL120 which results in better airflow (61.3 CFM), higher static pressure (2.66 mmH2O), and a larger range of fan speed (0. 200 ~ 2100RPM) at lower noise levels (29 dB(A)). Control and preview with precision the lighting effect of the SL-Infinity fans with the new L-Connect interface. Similar to the AL fans, L-Connect 3 can set the lighting effects of the SL-Infinity fans for both the fan blades and the fan frame inner edges separately, or go with pre-set combined lighting effects. Unique to the SL-Infinity fans, L-Connect 3 features a Start/ Stop mode to completely stop the fan when the CPU or GPU is running below your set temperature (the maximum 50°C), achieving minimal acoustic levels when the system is at low temperature. L-Connect 3 now offers an option to sync fan speed to the motherboard, also known as the PWM mode in the earlier L-Connect version. The quick sync function saves time to synchronize all LIAN LI device lighting effects with one click. Moreover, synchronize all devices to the motherboard software with one click. The all-new cable module and controller simplify cable management and provide efficient power to the fans. The included controller in the triple pack can support up to 16 fans (4 fans in each group) and 2 SM-type connecting devices. Combining both the power cable and the lighting cable into a single cable, the cable module uses a 7-pin connector to connect to the controller, efficiently reducing the number of cables cluttering the PC build. A Y-type 7-pin splitter is included in the 3 pack for users that need to connect a 5th group of fans to the same controller.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the SL-Infinity fans?
The SL-Infinity fans feature a unique multi-layered infinity mirror combined with ARGB lighting on the blades and frame, offering complex and visually stunning lighting effects from multiple angles.
How many fans can I connect together?
You can connect up to four UNI FAN SL Infinity fans in a single cluster using the daisy-chaining system. The included controller can manage up to 16 fans in total (four per group).
Do I need the L-Connect 3 software?
Yes, the L-Connect 3 software is required to control the ARGB lighting effects, utilize the Start/Stop fan mode, and manage fan speeds. While fans will spin without it, full customization requires the software.
Can I connect these fans to my motherboard's RGB header?
No, the SL-Infinity fans use a proprietary 7-pin connector that connects to the Lian Li controller. The controller then interfaces with your motherboard via USB for software control. You can sync lighting effects to motherboard software through L-Connect 3.
What is the 'Start/Stop' mode?
The 'Start/Stop' mode allows the fans to completely halt rotation when the system's CPU or GPU temperature is below a user-defined threshold (e.g., 50°C). This ensures near-silent operation during low-demand tasks.
How does the removable keylock help?
The interlocking key on each fan can be removed. This feature improves compatibility when installing fans on radiators or in tight spaces where the standard interlocking mechanism might interfere with fittings or other components.
What is the difference between SL Infinity and other Lian Li UNI FANs (like SL or AL)?
The SL-Infinity builds upon the SL and AL series by integrating an infinity mirror for unique lighting effects, while retaining the modular interlocking design and enhancing performance. It offers more complex lighting customization options compared to the SL and AL series.
Troubleshooting
Fans not spinning
Ensure the SATA power cable is securely connected to the PSU and the controller. Verify the fan cable is properly seated in the controller. Check that the fan is receiving power via the interlocking mechanism.
RGB lighting not working or incorrect
Confirm the controller is connected to a functional USB header on the motherboard. Ensure L-Connect 3 software is running and correctly detects the fans. Check for software updates. Re-seat the RGB cables between fans if necessary.
L-Connect 3 software not detecting fans
Restart the L-Connect 3 application and ensure it is running with administrator privileges. Reconnect the controller to the USB header. Try a different USB header on the motherboard. Reinstall L-Connect 3.
Fans making unusual noise
Check for any obstructions like cables hitting the fan blades. Ensure the fans are securely mounted and not vibrating against the case. Try adjusting the fan speed in L-Connect 3 to find a quieter operating point. Consider the Start/Stop mode for idle periods.
Interlocking mechanism difficult to connect
Ensure the fans are properly aligned. If using with a radiator, remove the keylock from the fan frame to improve clearance and fitment.
