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!

I m so happy! They r release reverse 140mm fans for TL series

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?

Thanks!

8:35 thank you for pointing that out i was wondering if there is a special 6 pin PCIe lane for that

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

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 ?

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.❤

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.

@TheProvokedPrawn

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

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. Also connected the Pcie cable from hub to PSU. Results: Fans are spinning, RGB is lightning but I can’t control them in the program.. everything is just blank. Can’t change color , fan speed or pictures on lcd.. nothing is showing up.. what did I do wrong?

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?

@renelackner3081

No. The TL hub only support the new TL series fans. So you can't (sadly) mix and match them.

So is it at 10 fans per link for the sata connection too? Can i get away with 8 with out the sata for the one part?

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?

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.
