This 120mm fan utilises second-generation cooling technology, that see a 10% performance over the previous SL120 model. Additionally, each fan has 40 ARGB LEDs embedded in the frame and central hub along with infinity mirror integration. With zero compromise on thermal capacity and lighting brightness, the SL-INF 120 is an excellent addition to your gaming PC. 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. 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 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.

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.
