NOTE: Just to further specify - The controller that came with the original blade Infinity fans DOES work with the reverse blades, if that’s wasn’t clear. BUT, the single pack reverse fans don’t come with a controller, nor the right cable to plug in to the original controller. Thanks, Danny
I want to buy 6x reverse fans, 1x regular fan and 1x pack of 3 regular fans. Will the controller in the pack of 3 work with all of them, and do I need to buy extra cables? I might've misunderstood this: "nor the right cable to plug in to the original controller"
Yes it will! That’s exactly what I did. The 3pack+controller will come with the 4 cables needed to connect either the regular OR reverse blades to that controller.
Thanks for this video. So glad I came across it. This just explained what I need to purchase with fans for my first ever build that I plan to do this month. I plan on getting the TL Led and TL LCD line of fans.
Building my first pc with the same case, cooler and fans. Actually used your videos for quite a lot of the research on the fans and how they would fit in the case and replacing the fans on the cooler. Cant wait to start buying the parts
Thanks mate, love the build and content. Can I ask, what is your LCD screen you have plugged in the back of your case? Brand etc, also what software is running on it? Many thanks
Love the content. Your build actually inspired me to go with the flow and infinity fans. For the fans, is the controller required to control the rgb? Or can I control them on my pc?
Careful on the 140 Infinity. If your case says it supports 140s it may NOT support the Lian Li Infinity fans. The cages of the fans are a little larger than normal cages.
I’m new to all of this and I’m going to do my first build very soon. Can you please tell me what desktop case you have and what motherboard are you using and how do you have it mounted vertically because it looks like you just plugged it in the motherboard or did you have to buy cables to mount your gpu that way? And if you have any recommendations please tell me? Thank you for very much and for showing us theses fans but I am confused about the fan that you said is reversible does that mean that the fan will blow air by turning the other direction? Thank you sir I hope you will reply back to me.
Hello! The case I am using is the NZXT H9 Flow: amzn.to/45Phghc The motherboard I am using is the Gigabyte X570: amzn.to/3rbdkbs The motherboard itself is installed regularly, however, I am using a vertical GPU bracket to change the orientation of my graphics card: amzn.to/3r5dvoT I just did a video explaining how I did the vertical GPU mount: ua-cam.com/video/c80s--gZiwg/v-deo.htmlsi=_wdiq5JGbOSzB6Tm So with PC fans, the air is blowing one way and the only way to switch airflow direction, is to rotate the fan 180 degrees. So depending on orientation of the fan, you either see one side of the fan or the other. The reverse fan makes it so you can see the better looking side of the fan. I realize this is hard to explain through text. In the video at the beginning, my bottom and side mounted fans are set as intake, and because of that, we see the back side of the fan. With the reverse blades, I can have the airflow orientation be the correct way (intake), and still see the nicer looking side of the fan.
I think I am going to do these fans over Corsair… you mentioned financial sense… Corsair seems way more expensive and these fans honestly look way cleaner even more so than the QL and QX from Corsair. I just got the Lian li o11 razer edition and I feel like these fans over Corsair are the way to go! As long as I can fully customize still like the Corsair icue system promises
I agree, I have always thought that the Lian Li Infinity fans were the best looking on the market. You can get pretty crazy with the customization for these fans, although I usually end up using a static color most of the time.
Just a little note, because the issue with the fans is now frustrating me. The cable you talk about at 5:05 *does not* come with the controller! These cables are only included in the three-pack of normal infinity fans.
That’s strange, because when I checked Lian Li’s website, it showed that the package contents came with these 4 cables, along with the controller. I apologize for the confusion and the headache. I would 100% reach out to Lian Li and I wouldn’t be surprised if they provided you with these cables for free
@@DanKamYouKnow no problem. The V2 of the infinity controller comes with these cables, but not V1. I have ordered a bunch of reverse fans V1 and have no idea how to connect these to my controller. The single cables are not available.
but if you bought 3pcs in 1 pack regular infinity fans you dont need to buy the separate fan hub for the reverse blade, right? coz regular infinity fans already have the fan hub. am i correct?
@@DanKamYouKnowactually i almost bought a separate controller..i will assemble my own pc this month.. then i checked the unboxing video of the lian li 3pcs in 1pack in UA-cam to checked if there is a fan hub included in the box.. that's why i double check it by asking you. coz im not sure as well..😆.. yeah I think u need to specify it in ur vid so others will not waste there money buying extra hub.. coz i don't think buyers will only buy the reverse blade. they will definitely buy the regular blade for the exhaust purpose
If only i hard realised before i bought all fans with the same intake direction that there was a specific way you had to have the fans directing, now i have 2 correct way fans and the rest of the infinity mirror fans are not facing the right way .-.
It’s weird. I hopped on NewEgg at exactly the right time and ordered 6. Now they’re sold out everywhere. This happened when the original fans released too
I’m not sure. I have noticed that Lian Li and NZXT are notorious for majority of their products being out of stock. They must have small manufacturing teams making all of their items.
Lian Li have made couple of weird decisions from my view lately. There are currently no 140mm version of these fans as of yet (I assume they will be coming though). But with the release of the 011D EVO XL the drive cage only takes slim 15mm fans. Lian li do not make a slim fan as far as I can find..... strange.
I agree. I also find it strange that they don’t have a 3-pack for the reverse blades either, I guess they’re assuming everyone has the controller from the original ones.
@@DanKamYouKnow the problem I have with that is that I want to use signal RGB and they say that you can't hav more than 3 or 4 fans on a single controller or signal RGB will not work with them also the 120INF's are not even white they are grey,
I have used SignalRGB with all 4 fan plugs used on the controller, with no issues. I didn’t have to do anything within SignalRGB for this to happen, it just worked
@@DanKamYouKnow yes I think 4 fans is the limit per controller though but if you have 6 or 7 fans you need to use 2 controller,s that is what signal RGB says anyway but I don't have any experience with it. so if you need 3 reverse fans which I do it will get pricy because they are more as singles plus I will need to buyanother controller I will try it first with 6 on 1 controller but they said it wouldn't work right or get the full capability unles you don't excede 4 fans per controler I am really not sure why tit is or what the down side is if you do have 6 fans on one contorlle rmaybe the signal will drop off or something , I wonder if a level shifter would help the issue, it would be pretty chapa nd easy to rig up an inline level shifter adapter sometimus with WLED if you donlt use a level shifter there are problems but it is usually when the controller is wired really far from the end of the strip or it is a really long run of LED's but 6 fans should come anywhere neard close to having the number of neopixels that would cause an issue. I wish I knew a more specif reason but this is all signal RGB said and they seemd to place the blame directly with Lian LI
@@andreamitchell4758 The controller can support 4 linked fans through one port. So one controller can technically power 16 fans. My controller is powering 3 groups of 3 fans, and one single fan. Just tried SignalRGB and it works fine for me.
I think you commented on my FB post. NZXT AIO is powered by motherboard USB header and Lian Li fans are powered by Lian Li controller that comes with the fans
NOTE: Just to further specify - The controller that came with the original blade Infinity fans DOES work with the reverse blades, if that’s wasn’t clear. BUT, the single pack reverse fans don’t come with a controller, nor the right cable to plug in to the original controller.

Load of crap then really, I'll stick with corsair fans!

Looking amazing as always!, I love how the fan's colors and the gpu top piece color matches.
Great content as always👍👍
Thanks Adyan 🤝🤝🤝
7:22 Thank you so much for making this video! I always wanted to know the differences between the regular and reverse Lian Li fans.
Thank you so much for this content, I've been looking for good fan for a long time !
Keep going with you chanel man 🎉
Thanks for this video. It's well explained and really helped informed my buying decision. 👍🏼
Thank you! Happy to helped 🤝
the lcd screen fans look amazing too, definitely would love to see you do something with them.
found you from your shorts, keep up the great content
Very nice! Now All the fans are reverse blades? Include the 360 cooler?

Hi there! Great video btw. All these connected to one single controller right? That’s insane
Looking forward to get those fans for my H9 build
It looks amazing in these H9’s 👍🏻
Hi thanks for the video. just wondering if you can get away with not using the controller and having 2 x 3 daisy chains into the mobo?
what pc case is that it looks amazing
Great video.
What case is that? Simply beautiful
What’s your fan configuration? The side and the bottom fans are intake and the radiator is exhaust? Is that correct?
Managed to snag 2 of these yesterday, wish I could've gotten at least 3. They are going in the Lian Li O11 Vision
Nice, love that case. It’s crazy how bad the availability for the reverse fans are.
So are the top fans on Radiator your exhaust fans? And are the top fans the standard or reverse fans?
A small correction - The reverse fans have 9 blades not 8! Also using the same fans in my Lian Li O11 Dynamic Evo!
Thanks Dan.
🤝🤝🤝
What case you used?
I love these longer videos of yours. Your voice is like therapy (i promise i’m not gay)
Careful on the 140 Infinity. If your case says it supports 140s it may NOT support the Lian Li Infinity fans. The cages of the fans are a little larger than normal cages.
can i put 6 reverse 120 mm coller and 1 120 reverse coller back case . case lianli dynamic rgb
whats the stat monitoring on the left inside ur pc please?
So 10 fans work on the 1 controller no issues?
I’m new to all of this and I’m going to do my first build very soon.

Hello!
The case I am using is the NZXT H9 Flow:
amzn.to/45Phghc
The motherboard I am using is the Gigabyte X570:
amzn.to/3rbdkbs
The motherboard itself is installed regularly, however, I am using a vertical GPU bracket to change the orientation of my graphics card:
amzn.to/3r5dvoT
I just did a video explaining how I did the vertical GPU mount:
ua-cam.com/video/c80s--gZiwg/v-deo.htmlsi=_wdiq5JGbOSzB6Tm
So with PC fans, the air is blowing one way and the only way to switch airflow direction, is to rotate the fan 180 degrees. So depending on orientation of the fan, you either see one side of the fan or the other. The reverse fan makes it so you can see the better looking side of the fan. I realize this is hard to explain through text. In the video at the beginning, my bottom and side mounted fans are set as intake, and because of that, we see the back side of the fan. With the reverse blades, I can have the airflow orientation be the correct way (intake), and still see the nicer looking side of the fan.
What is that internal screen called mounted on the back.
So the included cable is not able to connect to the Lian li l connect controller? How stupid ist that? Can I purchase those cables separately?
So, just to make sure I got this right: the original infinity fans exhaust while the reverse blades are intake, correct?
Yes…the reverse fans should be considered as intake fans.
@@TheLite0003 This hella confused me at first, since I just assumed that the intake should be "noraml" and exhaust "reverse" lol
@@TheLite0003 Thank you! I had the same question. Your six (6) new REVERSE fans are for intake, and three (3) original fans are for exhaust. Awesome!
Your video was so helpful! I want to do the exact same build except in white. Thanks!! 🤍
Glad it was helpful! A white build will be super cool!
200 + dollars for fans is crazy
I need this rocking SL INF now, it will be in stock here in EUROPE on october 20
They are any loud?
They definitely aren’t Noctua level quiet but they aren’t bad. Aesthetics are definitely the selling point with these.
I have 7 fans im asking what is the best air flow i do
I think I am going to do these fans over Corsair… you mentioned financial sense… Corsair seems way more expensive and these fans honestly look way cleaner even more so than the QL and QX from Corsair.

What if i dont have a controller i ordered 7 infinity reverse fan
Same what did u do to control them ? Btw I couldn’t plug them with the original 3 pack controller either !
Reverse fans are awesome.
were the fans for the top rad initially reverse blade fans too??
No. Only the bottom and side fans were swapped for the reverse blades.
@@DanKamYouKnow thanks for confirming! figured out the top rad fans are exhaust and the bottom and side fans are intake fans
Correct 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Such as shame that they're sold out everywhere
It’s weird. I hopped on NewEgg at exactly the right time and ordered 6. Now they’re sold out everywhere. This happened when the original fans released too
coming in late october
Still sold out
@@DanKamYouKnowIf there are many people who want to buy them, why doesn't Lian Li produce many more? I don't understand...
I’m not sure. I have noticed that Lian Li and NZXT are notorious for majority of their products being out of stock. They must have small manufacturing teams making all of their items.
Do you need a controller with these?
He said yes in the video if you're buying more than one
What case is that?

Nzxt aio with lian fans? How?
I think you commented on my FB post. NZXT AIO is powered by motherboard USB header and Lian Li fans are powered by Lian Li controller that comes with the fans
140s!!!
Here is hoping!!!! Probably be a back order for months when they do come out! 😭😩
It has 9 Blades. Not 8.
I cannot find a video where somebody actually POINTS out which one is Reverse and which one is normal.
I showed the difference between the 2 in the video?! Did you not watch the video?
🎉🥰 wow
😎😎😎
I'm like 99% sure the reverse has 9 blades, not 8.
Oh no
There's no controller for them they don't fit the aio controller
Any 140 fans
Unfortunately, I don't think so. Well, not yet.
Clowns still have not made a 3 pack for those
nvm the lcd ones have the reverse on them and come in a 3 pack
Dude you are so awesome, if I was your neighbor you have a restraining order on me for always coming over. Jk
Thanks dude!!!!
Buy top noch parts build a pc and have it for 10 years then upgrade
Obviously you can't count. The new ones have 9 blades, not 8!
No need to be rude about it. I made a mistake, there’s 9 blades.
you need a descent electric screwdriver..
100%. Any recommendations?
