Product Information

Full details

The Lian Li UNI FAN SL-INF 120 is designed for PC enthusiasts seeking enhanced cooling performance and visually stunning RGB lighting. Its key benefit lies in its improved airflow and static pressure over previous models, coupled with a unique infinity mirror design and advanced lighting control via the L-Connect 3 software. A potential caveat is the complexity of its advanced software features and the need for the L-Connect controller for full functionality.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main difference between the SL-INF and previous SL120 fans?

The SL-INF series offers a 10% performance improvement in airflow and static pressure, features an integrated infinity mirror for enhanced lighting effects, and uses the L-Connect 3 software with advanced features like 'Start/Stop' mode.

Can I connect more than 4 fans in a single chain?

No, each cluster is limited to a maximum of 4 fans. However, the controller can support up to 16 fans in total across multiple clusters (4 clusters of 4 fans each), with the included Y-splitter allowing for a 5th group of fans.

Do I need the L-Connect controller to use these fans?

Yes, the L-Connect controller is required to utilize the advanced lighting customization and fan control features of the SL-INF fans through the L-Connect 3 software.

Can I sync these fans with my motherboard's ARGB software?

Yes, the L-Connect 3 software offers an option to sync fan lighting effects with compatible motherboard ARGB software. This typically involves connecting the controller to a motherboard ARGB header.

What is the 'Start/Stop' mode?

The 'Start/Stop' mode, available in L-Connect 3, allows the fans to completely stop spinning when system temperatures (CPU or GPU) fall below a user-defined threshold, ensuring silent operation during idle or low-load tasks.

Are the interlocking clips removable for radiator mounting?

Yes, the interlocking keys on each fan are removable. This, along with the adjustable cable module, improves compatibility when mounting fans on radiators or other tight spaces.

What type of bearing do these fans use?

These fans use Fluid Dynamic Bearings (FDB), known for their durability, quiet operation, and extended lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Fan not spinning

Ensure the fan is correctly connected to the L-Connect controller and that the controller is powered via SATA. Check that the L-Connect software is running and that the fan is not set to 'Start/Stop' mode below the current temperature.

RGB lighting not working or incorrect colors

Verify the 3-pin ARGB cable is securely connected to the controller and the fan. Ensure the L-Connect 3 software is installed and recognizes the fans. Try re-syncing lighting effects or selecting a different preset.

L-Connect 3 software not detecting fans/controller

Confirm the controller is properly connected to a motherboard USB 2.0 header and receives SATA power. Restart the L-Connect 3 software and your PC. Ensure you have the latest version of the software installed.

Fans are noisy at high RPM

This is normal fan behavior. Adjust the fan curve in L-Connect 3 or select a quieter profile. The 'Start/Stop' mode can be used to ensure silence during low-load periods.

Interlocking keys are difficult to attach/detach

Gently align the keys and apply firm, even pressure. Ensure no cables are obstructing the connection. The keys are designed to be robust but require careful handling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improved airflow and static pressure compared to older models.
  • Unique and captivating infinity mirror and multi-layer ARGB lighting effects.
  • Advanced software control with L-Connect 3 for fine-tuning lighting and fan behavior (including fan stop functionality).
  • Streamlined installation with combined power/ARGB cables and daisy-chaining capabilities.
  • High-quality Fluid Dynamic Bearings for durability and quiet operation.
  • Modular design with removable interlocking keys for better radiator compatibility.

Cons

  • Requires the Lian Li L-Connect controller for full feature set and software control.
  • Advanced lighting customization can be complex for beginners.
  • The 7-pin connector for the cable module may require specific routing within the case.
  • While noise levels are optimized, maximum RPM can still produce audible sound.
  • Only compatible with other Lian Li UNI FAN SL-INF series or compatible Lian Li controllers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect Fans: Utilize the included interlocking keys to connect multiple fans together in a cluster (up to 4 fans per cluster). The cable module is located centrally and can be oriented for optimal clearance.
  2. Connect to Controller: Each fan cluster connects to the provided L-Connect 3 controller using the single 7-pin cable module. Ensure the cable is securely plugged into the controller.
  3. Controller Connection: Connect the L-Connect 3 controller to your motherboard via a USB 2.0 header and to your power supply unit using a SATA power cable.
  4. Install L-Connect 3 Software: Download and install the latest L-Connect 3 software from the Lian Li website to control fan speed, lighting, and other features.
  5. Motherboard Sync (Optional): If desired, connect the controller to a motherboard ARGB header for direct synchronization with motherboard lighting software (requires enabling PWM mode in L-Connect 3).

Compatibility:

  • Fan Connector: 4-pin PWM for fan speed control.
  • LED Connector: 3-pin ARGB for lighting effects.
  • Controller Capacity: The included controller supports up to 16 fans (4 per group) and 2 SM-type devices. A Y-type splitter is included for a 5th group.
  • Radiator Fitment: The removable interlocking keys and adjustable cable module enhance compatibility with various radiator sizes and thicknesses.
  • Motherboard Software: Compatible with most major motherboard ARGB synchronization software when using the motherboard sync option.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Regularly dust the fan blades and frame using compressed air or a soft brush. Avoid using liquids directly on the fan components. If cleaning is necessary, disconnect power and use a slightly damp cloth on the frame only, ensuring no moisture enters the motor or bearing.
  • Bearing Maintenance: Fluid Dynamic Bearings are sealed and do not require user maintenance.
