  • Prawn here with a setup and wiring guide for the new Lian Li TL and TL LCD fans. In this guide I'm talking through all you need to know on these fans including connections and wiring of a few fans and enough to fill a case.
    You can get these fans in 120 and 140mm variants, in white or black, with triple packs of the regular and reverse models available (for 120mm) and single packs too.
    Other features include:
    - 28 mm thickness for improved performance (but still work with standard radiator screws)
    - 9-blade design with LCP design to cope with fast speeds
    - Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) reinforced with copper shielding
    - Cables that can connect at either end of the chain of fans
    - Locking covers to protect otherwise exposed pins
    - Daisy chain cables that allow you to connect upto 10 fans on a single controller port
    - Large infinity mirror on the side of the frame with diffused RGB lighting and 26 LEDs per fan
    - Different fan groups can have different speeds in L-Connect
    - Both TL and TL LCD fans can be added to the same controller
    - 21 different lighting effects
    LCD versions feature:
    - 1.6-inch LCD IPS display with 400x400 resolution
    - Can display CPU temperature, CPU load, GPU temperature, GPU load, and fan speed
    - Or Gif, MP4, JPG and PNG files
    - Display can be rotated in the software and have hardware lighting set
    - Apparently up to 7 LCD fans (3+3+1) and 10 regular TL fans can be connected to the same controller.

Thank you ! I was wondering though if i used the galahad lcd 2 aio in my system with 3 lcd fans and the rest being sl infinity fans would i use the galahad controller or would i need a different one ?

    • @TheProvokedPrawn

    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?

      Yeah it’s just mental. I’ve decided to forget about those beautiful infinity fans and stick with the regular TL ones (at least they have the infinity effect on the sides). And I’ll use the TL LCD fans with the fans on the Galahad II for a push/pull intake, and the TL LCD fans for rear extract (Vision case).

    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

I want to get a 3 Pack LCD set. Will the set include a cable which I can connect for my existing fans into the controller or only the 3 pack Infinity Fans come with the cables which go into the Lian Li controller?

    @damon7224 5 місяців тому

    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
      @TheProvokedPrawn  5 місяців тому +1

      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

    If I want 3 120 tlc lcd, 1 140 tlc lcd fan and the rest uni infinity mirror fans I need to hook them up over two separate controllers right ?

      You might be able to use the TL controller but unfortunately I've not tested. So yes, you might need two controllers. Alas I don't know for certain. I need to investigate.

      @@TheProvokedPrawn there’s a different power requirement for the infinity fans and the tl. The infinity fans need a lot less power hence the use of double sata connectors while the tl need an actual psu cable. The LCD screens need more power than leds need and I doubt that Lian Li wanted to use usb power for that.

    I’m so confused, which doesn’t take much these days. I have 8 Lian Li infinity fans currently, I want to swap 3 of these with 3 Lian li LCD fans. I also have 2x strimmer (motherboard and GPU cables). So would I now be having to use 3 separate control boxes?
    I’m sorry if this is a stupid question.

    The lighting of my lcd fans were working at the beginning, but after installing and updating l connect, my lcd fan color stays in the same static white color.
    I can change the displayed image, but not the rgb lighting.
    And after restarting my pc, the option to change one lcd display is gone in l connect.
    Do you know what the problem could be?
    I think i wired everything up correctly:
    Power cable -> pcie 6 pin
    Usb -> usb slot
    3 pin argb -> argb slot
    4 pin -> cpu fan slot (because my lcd fans are my aio fans)

    Get 1 3ple LCD pack, chain and connect to another port.
    All on the same controller?
    So I wouldnt be using the 2 usb ports on the MB, as i will only be using 1 controller, or better to use another controller just for the LCD ones and not overwhelm the first controller?
    Soo noob on the pc build field.

Why not just make the 140mm in a triple pack? I genuinely do not understand this nonsense..
