Hi Kleo. Thanks for the video. i bought the argb kit from lian li and at 1:44, you connected 2 fans using that cable. If i have 3 fans in my aio, which cable i should use to connect all of them?

Hi Kleo, I have couple of questions here: I have the Galahad SL series AIO, Strimers, LED diffuser, and AL fans. 1. Can I connect the AIO and the SL separately? for example AIO on the port #1 and the SL (daisy chain) on the port #2 into my UniFan SL Controller? 2. Can I connect the Strimers and LED diffusers (Lian Li Lancool), each on the port #3 and #4 into my UniFan SL Controller? 3. If I connect the rest of my AL fans to a separate UniFan AL Controller, what accessories should I have to make it all works? does it only need the USB gen2 port on the MoBo? (separate from the UniFan SL Controller) thank you
Hi Eduardus Pribadi, welcome to my channel. Q1. Can I connect the AIO and the SL separately? for example AIO on the port #1 and the SL (daisy chain) on the port #2 into my UniFan SL Controller? A1. yes you can not an issue. Q2. Can I connect the Strimers and LED diffusers (Lian Li Lancool), each on the port #3 and #4 into my UniFan SL Controller? A2. you can do that too but your LED diffusers will need a convertor to convert from standard argb connector the the JST03 connect, as your uni controller only accept those type of connectors. Q3. If I connect the rest of my AL fans to a separate UniFan AL Controller, what accessories should I have to make it all works? does it only need the USB gen2 port on the MoBo? (separate from the UniFan SL Controller) A3. Besides additional uni controller, you will need to have an additional USB socket on your motherboard and you will need to run the L-Connect 2 application. hope all these answered your question. thank you!
Just wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU! I'm doing a father/son first gaming PC build and this RGB solution is exactly what I was looking for. I've read all the horror stories about trying to integrate various RGB hardware/software and it's a mess out there but this is the slickest thing going. I'm using all Lian Li uni fans, Strimers, AIO, Cable Kit, and 011 Dynamic Mini cabinet. We are about 90% finished so excited to give it the smoke test. IMO after tons of research, Lian Li really has their act together, that cabinet is a masterpiece in flexibility. Keep up the great videos, they are a must see for anyone thinking of building a system loaded with RGB!

Been looking for this tutorial for ages. Thank you very much this is a huge step for me. But I do have one question. I have a lian li g1 distroplate. Can I connect it to a second hub? If yes, can I still use one software for 2 hubs that I would have? I would really like to know your input on this one. Godbless you
Hello Nathaniel Floyd Fortuno, welcome to my channel. yes you can connect your distro argb to the uni controller. if your distro plate comes with the standard argb 5v connector, you will need to have a converter. As for two controller, yes you can do that. just make sure your uni controller is ready for L-Connect 2 or 3. I have a series of videos about these argb product from Lian li which you might be interested on ua-cam.com/play/PLEW-b-2vYDdPo0NzHyeksx012c-nkDapm.html and these are the videos you should be watching. 1) Lian Li UNI Fans SL120 - Dos and Dont's (Part II) ua-cam.com/video/QQHJUQvKwlY/v-deo.html ( understanding the load limit) 2) Lian Li Uni Fan AL120 & SL120 Controllers - Firmware and Features - ua-cam.com/video/hZpzR_4917c/v-deo.html (How you can use 2 uni controller)
Thanks for the info! I have two questions Kleo: 1.) You combined the AIO pump and fan RGB into the controller, but only the fan PWM went into the controller, does the pump PWM still go to the motherboard? 2.) Can I daisy chain a single AL 120 with a triple AL 120 and put that on one channel from the controller for RGB and PWM? \ Thank you for your help and expertise!
hello LunaChop, welcome to my channel. I will answer your questions as follow : Q1) You combined the AIO pump and fan RGB into the controller, but only the fan PWM went into the controller, does the pump PWM still go to the motherboard? A1) yes I plug the galahad pump directly to the motherboard fan header. Q2) Can I daisy chain a single AL 120 with a triple AL 120 and put that on one channel from the controller for RGB and PWM? A2) yes you can plug the single AL fan to the existing 3 x AL fans, but you will need to get the lian li argb kit. One thing to take note. if you plug the single AL fans to the existing, when you set stack or mix.. the single AL fan will be treated as a single unit, it does not sycn up with the exisiting fan.
@@KleoYan Thanks so much Kleo, your expertise is hugely appreciated. I have one more question, I'm sure you've addressed it in an updated video but I can't find the exact answer. How do I pass control for the Strimer V2 L-Connect 3 controller to the Uni Controller? The L-Connect controller I have does not have the 4 buttons to push on the housing. I believe I wired everything correctly but I'm not getting RGB to the Strimer wires and I assume that's because I still need to enable control through the Uni controller. Do you know how to enable control without being able to push and hold a button? Thanks so much Kleo, you're the best!
@@lunachop2566 Hello LunaChop, you will need the Strimer Plus V2 controller and not plug to your uni controler. Hope this video will explain more about the L-Connect 3 app. ua-cam.com/video/CgvuUFeff8U/v-deo.html
@@KleoYan I'm sorry Kleo, I wasn't clear with my wording. I have the strimer controller but I think it is a newer model. How do I switch the strimer controller to motherboard mode so the uni controller can control it? There is no M1 button on my strimer controller.
@@lunachop2566 hi, for the v2 Strimer plus controller, you only have the option in L-Connect 3, under Quick/Sync lighting at the left sub menu. You will need to enable "motherboard Software sync" but when you do this. your uni fans will follow too. so that the downside of the V2 Strimer plus controller.
Awesome video, however I have the same setup, 10 fans, galahad, and strimer plus cables, but what about the case o11 evo light strip? I can't use the 3p from the splitter connecting the strimer controller it says on lian li site. I do have another uni hub though, so if I use another hub, then I will need to go to two different lconnect to sync everything? Working with z690 msi carbon wifi which also has rgb...
Hello Jason Rives, welcome to my channel and this might be your answer, your strimer plus controller has another cable which is 3pin, thats for your olld xl case argb to it imgur.com/gallery/kxd86ob
@@jasonrives hi ya Jason Rives. I forget to mention, you can use another uni controller too if you want to. And as why I’ve stated that clause. Which some have plugged instead of the in argb to the case controller. They plus out. Causing a short which will melt or blow either of the controllers. So ya, if you know what you are doing with the diagram I’ve provided, then proceed if not, use another uni controller. All the best in your build 👍
OMG thank you so much for this I had like 3 Y connectors coming out of 1 ARGB header and it wasn't sitting right with me so I did some searching and found this. Going to pick up a ARGB kit ASAP. Thank you so much. I had some questions I think would be awesome if you could dive into: 1) is it possible to set the AIO fans to sync as needed to the CPU Temps? Since its going to be connected to the controller instead of the CPU fan header I'm wondering if there's a tradeoff here in how it reacts to the CPU settings. I first had the AIO fans daisy chained to the CPU fan header and notice they would rev up periodically. Now that I'm going to take it off the motherboard and connect them to the hub I'm wondering if ill loose any sync function here. 2)Could you run though how to check and ensure that the CPU pump is running at full speed. I'm sure it varies by motherboard but I'm also sure any info shared can help everyone figure out their own settings as needed. 3) Is there any way to pair or unpair the strimmer from the controller without opening up the pc and holding the button? or is it you pick which you want and settle with it. Thanks again for all your help!
Hi Chris Xavier, welcome to my channel, I did notice your questions when you posted them 7 hours ago but I am at work. unable to answer you in detials. now if you are getting the argb cable kit, this is just a diagram guide imgur.com/gallery/beYR8CN. now to answer your questions A1) you are able to but you will need to load the L-connect with the settings loaded. I would still advise you to leave the lighting effects on the uni controller and the fan load directly to the CPU FAN and your AIO Pumb to CPU_Fan1/pump. set the PWM in bios to controller CPU FAN base on temperature. as for the CPU_FAN1/pump. set to pump and I will run at full speed. 2) let me see what I can do with a seperate video. 3) there are no other ways to do that, unless you do some mods to do some soldering on the strimer controller's pcb and to extend the switch outside the case. I am terrible sorry that the strimers I have presented in this channel, that does not belongs to me, I have returned to the owner and I myself do not own one. If not I might be able to show you how to do the soldering points
@@ProfXc hi, it will work is just that when your pc starts up before window load. The fans might just ram up all the way full, till your windows os is fully loaded and also to load the L-Connect application. Then the L-Connect will trigger the pwm profile to the output where you plug your fans in the uni controller. I hope am not confusing you.
@@ProfXc know what, this will give you a clearer picture ua-cam.com/video/Rm2emeyMUAk/v-deo.html btw I have a series of videos about these fans you might want to check out. Especially the dos and donts. Very important, do check out my description as all the uni controller videos might be useful for you. Or even this playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLEW-b-2vYDdPo0NzHyeksx012c-nkDapm.html
For anyone wanting a seamless integration of fans, RGB, Strimers, etc. this combo is fantastic. I used the Lian Li 011 Dynamic Mini, ASUS B550 MB, & all Lian Li Uni-fans, AIO 360, Strimers, etc. & with the L-Connect s/w if's a beautiful thing. Minimal wiring required for a normally complex wiring maze. Kleo's wiring diagram was very helpful. Note: Order the Lian Li cable accessory kit, it comes with everything required for full integration.
Great video. Any idea where I can buy the converter cable you made to connect to the fan controller? I saw a link overseas but I was hoping to find a place in the US I could purchase it without committing to the entire Lian Li cable kit. Thanks!

Hi ya, if you are using the strimer plus v1, yes, there are limitation if you use l-connect. Infact you should get a v2 controller if you are using the v1 strimer plus. If you have that, you have more argb effects to play with the l-connect 3.
Thank you for the informative video. I have a question however, if I'm trying to connect the stock Galahead 360 AIO fans to the Uni controller will I still need to purchase the 3pin to female adapter?

Ok I'm guessing the 4 wire splitter plug goes into one of the controller ports and the two other ends of the splits only have three wires because the controller box will use the PWM signal if enabled and control the fan speeds...are my assumptions correct?
Hi Austin Parton me, I just woke up. The fan cable consist of 3 sets of cable. 1 set is for fan which is 4 pin and one set is 3 pin (unique 3pin connector). The 4 pin is for your fan to spin which is yes. It takes reading of pwm. As for the 3 pin is for your argb effects. At each output of the controller. It comes in a set. One for fan load one for argb load. Hope that helps

Hello KEZZIE, welcome to my channel. I would do this if I am you. connect the Pump to the pump_fan and for radiator fans, i will connect to the CPU_FAN. reason being, if you plug the radiator fan to the uni controller instead of the motherboard header, in the event if your uni fan failed. at least your fans are still cooling the radiator. I can afford to lose lightening effects but not fan stoping to cool the processor,

For the O11D strip, connect it to the strimer controller. there this third cable which you can do that. so that which i did explain on this video ua-cam.com/video/Y0ni_tfcX3g/v-deo.html if you are confuse how that works. read the manual drive.google.com/file/d/151v3Al6J36hiw_nKmSN4dpQOXWrDY-qq/view that says "Suppoer output compatible (WS2812B) Led control Signale [D1. GND] " thats where you connect your O11D strip to.
Great video, i will be setting up: 1 x galahad aio 360mm with 1 set uni fans top exhaust 3 x fans that come with the aio on different locations (2 on intake side, 1 on exhaust rear) 1 x set of uni fans bottom intake 1 x strimmer plus 24pin 1 x strimmer plus 8 pin If i purchase the lian li argb cable kit do I still need to puechase any more converter cables?
@@KleoYan Thank you for the quick reply and for providing the link to the quick guide So from my understanding, I should be fine to connect it all with the ARGB Cable Kit - I would connect the 2 x strimer cables to the provided controller and then into the uni controller Port 1 with the cable kit converter. - I would then connect the galahad pump and 1 x 3 set UNIFANs (AIO and top Exhaust) with the provided daisy chain cable and then use a converter from the cable kit into the uni controller port 2 - Then I could just plug 1 x 3 Unifan (bottom intake) to port 3 - Lastly I would need to use the provided splitter for the 3 STI fans from the Galahad AIO for the 3 ARGB into 1 and plug into Uni controller port 4 ARGG and then use the provided 3 head fan splitter direct into the Uni controller port 4 Fan. (2 fans on side intake and 1 fan on rear)
@@KleoYan Thanks for the help, definitely feel more confident and your correct the instruction manual diagrams from LianLi for the cable kit are very confusing for the average user.
@@sc5655 you are most welcome. That Lian li cable kit was provided by my viewer who sent me the pic. I wish I have a set but I don’t. Anyway I work with him via email and his work. That’s why I share the diagram whoever have the cable kit. 👍 wish you all the best in your build. 🤗
I do have a question regarding setting the ASUS Bios for fan control. Using your configuration plus having the PWM wire connected to the MB, in the Bios what do you set the Aura setting to, ON or OFF? Also I'm assuming you set up a fan curve in the ASUS bios then turn on PWM to the fan set you wish to have the fan curve to use? Also I saw where you recommend plugging the Lian Li AIO into the CHA Header so the AIO always runs at full speed,. Have I missed anything on Bios settings that should be set? Thank you!
hi Austin Boil, just for your info, I am not using an Asustek board but a ASrock board. Having to say this. based on Asustek motherboard bios, I would set Aura settings to on, if you intend to use the motherboard to controller the argb of your fans. this will give you a better picture on the connection and settings. ua-cam.com/video/Rm2emeyMUAk/v-deo.html. as for Fan in your bios, I will set to PWM mode and set the curve there. so when you use your L-Connect application. you can select PWM. the same video will give you a better idea on how it works. ua-cam.com/video/Rm2emeyMUAk/v-deo.html , if you ever need clarification, do let me know we can always communicate througth teams or zoom or etc.. will be glad to aid you, but during the weekdays am busy at work. it will be best to do it during the weekends. thank you!
@@KleoYan Thank you! I do use Teams so we will see how it goes & have that as a communication option. Setting MB to PWM makes sense for the fan curve then control via L Connect set to PWM. I did watch your other video showing the RGB & PWM wire connections on the MB. Will let you know how it turns out.
Love every video about Uni fan controller but i was wondering what if i connect 2 of these controller in same motherboard? should work just fine (wish to control 18 fans, 9 in each controller unit)
Hi Giacomo Pelizer, welcome to my channel. I am afraid not so. The L-Connect version 1.0 will only detects 1 USB 2.0 connection. I do understand some motherboard have 2 x USB 2.0 header. If you plug another uni controller to the 2nd USB 2.0 header, it will not work. Previously, there is a L-Connect version 2.0 but was removed due to issues and errors, therefore Lian Li decided to remove this version till further notice. you might want to check their official website on the updates. They did mentioned to release it again, once it's stable. lian-li.com/product/uni-fan-sl/ scroll down and you will see the version 2.0 notice.
I don’t kno ur gonna reply but here’s a shot I will be having a total of 9 uniinfinty fans and also 2 extra sl 140 uni fans + 24/8 pin strimmer cable will that work on 2 Controllers or would I need 3 if possible
Hello HustlerKid, welcome to my channel. As what I see, you need 1 controller do to the trick. I assume your Strimer Plus are not the V2. let me break it down for you For SL Infinity Fans 3 Top fans + 1 rear fans, using the merge link cables between these fans, then connect it to Port 1 of the SL Inf Uni hub 3 bottom fans connected to Port 2 of the SL Inf Uni Hub 3 fans (Which I have no idea where they are mounted) to Port 2 of the SL Inf Uni Hub For SL 140 2 fans plug only the ARGB to Sync 2 of the SL Inf Uni Hub (the effects will follow Port 2) and the fan pwm cables directly to your motherboard fan header (PWM is controll by your motherboard utility Strimer Plus all strips are to plug to the strimer plus controller, then the cable that goes to the motherboard ARGB header, plug it to Sync 4 of the SL Inf Uni Hub (ARGB effects will follow Port 4) hope that answer your question.

Hi i have the lian li evo rgb case with the case rgb strip, how can i connect 7 SL INF fans, galahad 360 SL INF AIO, 24 pin strimer v2 cable and the 3x8 strimer v2 cable. I have the uni fan controller and strimer controller? theres also only 2 usb header on motherboard and the galahad cooler with controller takes up 2 usb ports, so i wont have enough for the strimer controller. Is it possible to connect STRIMER V2 controller with fan controller And do i definitely need argb cable kit?
Hi Jamil Rahman, I assume your Galahad is of the GA II Trinity SL-INF. If you want all to sync up using L-Connect 3 app, you will need to get additional item 1) Lian-Li USB 2.0 1-to-3 HUB 2) Lian Li ARGB Kit Method to plug 1) Plug the Lian-Li USB 2.0 1-to-3 Hub to the motherboard USB Header (either Port 1 or 2) 1) Connect the Sata cable to the connector of your SL Inf Controller sata connector, Connect the USB cable from SL Inf Controller to the Lian-Li USB 2.0 1-to-3 Hub 2) Plug you SL Inf fans (ARGB & PWM) to the controller (occupied only 3 ports, example Port 1 to 3) 3) Connect USB Cable from the Galahad AIO pump to the Lian-Li USB 2.0 1-to-3 Hub 4) Connect USB Cable from the Strimer plus V2 controller to the Lian-Li USB 2.0 1-to-3 Hub 5) Connect your strimer plus v2 strips to the Strimer plus V2 controller 6) Plug the case sata to your PSU sata cable 7) Plug the case argb 3pin to convert it with the Lian Li argb kit which labled Y-Type 3P Signal Cable of the official website lian-li.com/product/argb_cable_kit/, then the other end to your SL-Inf controller port make sure to set your case to bypass the case button and to sync to motherboard, which in this case is pointing to your SL-Inf Controller. Then you can make use of L-Connect 3 app to control all the argb effects.

Hi jose ignacio taibo galaz, welcome to my channel. You are pretty sharp, yup am only using the usb and sata on the uni controller. As I use L-Connect to control the argb effects. Now if you are using SL120 fans. Please check to see if there is a marking SL on the uni controller itself. If you do not have that, you can’t use the l-connect version 2.0 unless you do a firmware on your SL uni controller.

Hi Kleo, First of all thank you for all your videos. I've built my Lian Li theme case using your videos and it helped me a lot. Regarding this video, at 9:10 you show us 2 splitters (for the bottom and rear fans) so we connect to the Lian Li controller. Does those splitters come with the fans or are they part of the ARGB cable kit from Lian Li? Thank you once again,
Hi Joao Goncalves, welcome to my channel. Those splitters does not come with the Uni Fans, you will need to get them separately. for fan load you will need this PWM connector www.amazon.com/JBtek-Black-Sleeved-Splitter-Converter/dp/B01EF9OI0O/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=fan+splitter+pwm&qid=1614878866&sr=8-3 and for the argb splitter, you will need to get this www.superlightingled.com/3pin4pin-1-to-2-signal-splitter-female-to-2-male-for-ws2811-ws2812b-ws2813-ws2815-addressable-rgb-led-strip-lights-p-1815.html Hope this help. by the way if you do like my content, do remember to subscribe and to click on the notification bell. thank you very much :)
Is it possible to have this setup but also have the controller connected to the motherboard to connect everything through asus aura sync in settings? I may want to switch between the 2 occasionally
Hi Cole Gunderson, welcome to my channel, yes you can. just plug the argb cable between the uni controller and to your motherboard 5v argb header. As and when you want to switch to have motherboard take control, on your L-Connect, set it to motherboard mode, then you can use Asus aura sync to control the effects.
@@colegunderson5682 Just the uni controller. Your strimer conntroller should just plug the motherboard argb connector to the uni fan controller. switch the mode on the strimer plus controller to motherboard mode, this will allow you to controller the stimer plus too.

Hi taylor xm3, welcome to my channel. That will work if you are using the motherboard utility to control the argb effects. It will not work if you want to use the L-connect to controller all if connecting this way. Your strimer plus will not react to the uni controller
@@KleoYan Thanks for reply! So I can still control fans PWM and fans' argb which connect to uni controller in this way? BTW, have u ever try combine multiple controller with splitter or hub? Here's what i am thinking ↗ strimmer plus controller → 24 pin + 8 pin strimmer EX: Mother Board← splitter/ Hub → uni controller → fans ↘ Asus controller or other branded→ water cool pump, fans. etc.
@@xm3xm30917 if you set your uni controller to pwm mode or motherboard mode and do connect the pwm cable to your motherboard, plus set to pwm in your motherboard bios/UEFI. Yes you can control the rpm. But you only able to control based on only one motherboard fan header. As for multiple hub. Nope I have not try that. As for your idea to connect multiple hub and other brand controllers. I do not encourage you to do so. These are the reason. Having loads to lighting effects looks cool but it does these. 1) more ampere drawn from PSU. 2) more heat generating inside your case 3) too much IRQ conflict with different controllers, which may cause irresponsive controls. 4) Making your pc to run with more unnecessary background task.
Have you heard about issues with these units catching fire? I've seen a few different posts on this from different people wo was concerned... One of them showed an image of the Sata Power connector on a good and bad set where the bad one had two loops/bends in the wire and the good had only 1. Looked like maybe some sets were sent with improper wiring?

I was in it, answering in general :) I am very aware of this even before Uni Fans are out as I use to play with argbs alot but I stop, plus my current build does not have argb, only RGB. before the cases that happened at reddit. I already know some will encounter the issues as some will just go crazy connecting more and more lightings, that's part of the reason why I did the dos and donts to warn others what's the limitation of the unit ua-cam.com/play/PLEW-b-2vYDdM1WklGQps2-sQ1Amy6Uwn9.html . sad to say it was too late plus some other reviewers encouraging others to daisy chain more that 4 fans to one output of the uni controller. nevertheless, thank you for your notification :) I forget to mention, I always test controllers and such first before I piece them into my pc.

Hi Company LLC, welcome to my channel. The controller will come together if you buy them as a set. I am not sure where you can only get the controller. You might want to write in to Lian li at their official website to ask for it.
Hello TsinghuaWu, welcome to my channel. yes, I forget to mentioned that. now for that we have the Galahad Pump to connect to which make use of full speed which I have illustrated in this video.
Hey Kleo, amazing video, cleared up a lot of questions for me. On a side note can I run the lian fan controller completely separate from the lian strimmer controller and i can control the fan led via the lian software and the strimmer led via the provided controller?
Hi Sachin Sagan Maraj, welcome to my channel. yes you can do that not an issue. just unplug the cable that goes from the strimer controller to the uni controller. hope that helps.
Great videos man! Was curious though, do you think I would be able to run the Uni fans (10 total), the Galahand AIO, the Strimer Plus 24 pin, and the Strimer plus triple 8 pin off the 2 ARGB headers my Gigabyte X570 master mob has, or would it be to much for the headers to handle??
Hi Ares, welcome to my channel, it should not be a problem as each output can cater for 4 fan max which is at 2.6a, the power drawn from the uni controller is directly from the PSU, same goes to the strimer controller. so long you have these two controllers plug directly from PSU sata to these controller and please make sure that the SL fans are connected to the uni controller output (4 fan max), same goes to your strimer plus, make sure they are plug to the strimer controller. you will be fine.
@@KleoYan Thanks for the fast reply! OK gotcha, was just wondering due to the fact the triple 8 pin has its own controller unlike the dual 8 pin which can be plugged into the 24 pin controller. Wasn't sure if having 3 different controllers was gonna cause an issue seems how there are only 2 argb headers.
@@ares628 honestly, I don't even bother to plug the argb connector from the uni controller to the motherboard. just plug the USB connector from uni controller and to your motherboard and use the L-Connect to control all argb effects :) this will lessen bloatwares, especially the motherboard argb progy. but choice is yours. If you haven't notice. in this video, I never plug the argb connector nor the pwm connector from the uni controller to the motherboard.

Great video, very detailed. However, I seem to be hitting a major snag. Using Galahad 360, 7 AL120, Strimer plus 24/8 and ARGB kit. I've followed the steps exactly, however only the pump works, the fans don't spin and only the RGB of the strimers light. Using LConnect, I can see the 4 groups, but it had no effect. Additionally, the only variation would be the adapter cable - the one that comes with the kit has 2 ends, which I've only used one each. I've tried just setting the galahad and it's rad fans to '1' and disconnecting the other items, but the same problem persists. Devices work when plugged directly into motherboard (rgb & fan header) Motherboard model - Asus B550F strix. Is it possble you might be able to help me figure this out?
Hi ArchvileX, welcome to my channel. Do you happened to have the Armory Crate installed in your system to control other argbs, like your GPU and rams. If you have, try this. uninstall the amour crate, using revo uninstaller. www.revouninstaller.com/revo-uninstaller-free-download/ . next remove your L-Connect 2 app. reboot your system, once boot up check to see if you can see the the L-Connect device under Universal Bus in device management, then install only the L-Connect 2 app, test out the fans and argb effects. see if that works.
Thanks for the quick response, however I just figured it out right after I gave up, and you'll prob have a laugh at why. I kept wondering how all the devices attached to the Uni Controller could possibly be drawing power from the USB 2 header..then I realized BOTH the Strimer Controller and the Uni Hub need sata power! 🤦. Reattached everything and it works! Now I just have to arrange my fans so I can create effects in a sync direction (I missed the lconnect 3 sign. Again, thanks so much for this detailed tutorial, and hopefully anyone else who might make my mistake will see this!
@@shenarchvile you are most welcome. Btw am not sure if you are aware of this. There are limitation to the uni controller, so don’t go by keep adding argb which will overload the controller.

Hi Jeff Hannan, welcome to my channel and you are right. You can use other argb fans so long each of those fans does not have a argb load beyond 0.65 and to daisy chain more than 4 to a output of the uni controller. Now as I have shown here with nothing else. My bad, I was thinking interns of the L-Connect argb patterns as other fans is unlike the SL or AL fans which is able to do individual argb effect colors, else other fans will just follow the left overs which at lian Li productions.

@@heraNbUdDHikA Hi, it's not at all silly, everyone is learning and I am too learning :) .. ok to answer your question. yes you can plug to the CPU fan header. this is my personal opinion, I will plug the AIO pump to CPU mobo fan header and the fans that are attached to the raditor to CPU_OPT/CPU_2 mobo fan header. Then leaving all argb connection of the pump and radiator fans to the uni controller.
Hello Christopher John Casanada, welcome to my channel, to be honest, so long is argb 5v it will be possible but you will need to 1st know what's the drawing amperage as each output of the uni controller is 2.26a.

Hi aminul hoque. welcome to my channel. just for your info, you do not need that cable if you only to controll the fans RPM. you can directly plug the fan connector of the SL fans directly to the motherboard and to use the motherboad to control the RPMs instead. but if you do need that cable, am sorry that you will need to contact lian li directly as ask if they are able to supply you or sell you a separate cable.

@@alexianaixela I see, I've gone through that vid, all argb are activated on all SL fans, galahad and strimer plus. Else the ST120 that comes with the radiator are not activated. you can do it with this illustration, download them and try to understand which cable to which cable. imgur.com/gallery/beYR8CN by the way I will not advise you to do push pull configuration on the radiator with different fans. It's bad to configure it that way, reason being, different fans have different build as 8in the pressure static. This will cause unnecessary turbulence and noise. Also yes it looks nice. looks powerful but it's not practically useless as your radiator is 38mm thick. if you configure that way. it will only drop 1 to 2 degrees most, so why waste the current from the PSU on 3 sets of additional fans which does not really perform. That's my opinion and of course, the choice is yours. If you really wanted to configure that way. I would advise you to use two controllers. this is where I use two controllers ua-cam.com/video/9A-Jw9aEjmI/v-deo.html if you are still confuse on the connection. maybe contact me via email godylatech@gmail.com .

Hey Bro,wanna ask if i bought the STRIMER PLUS @ Sim Lim Square now its Faulty.But I have still use less 1years Still have the box,receipt how to exchange it?Go down to the shop or..?
Hello Yus Castello, welcome to my channel. if you have used this strimer plus for more than 14 days, going down to the shop, they will ask you to approach local distro. My advise is to send in a RMA form here lian-li.com/contact-us/, attached the official receipt where you get it from. They will reply you on how to go by doing the RMA. do remember to write down the issue you are facing and with details. I have done 2 pieces of Strimer plus for friends and both, same process as i've mentioned to you. hope this helps.
@@KleoYan I direct went to CORBELL SERVICE CENTRE 5days ago..Waahhh so good they exchange new Strimer Plus 24pin/8pin..Also wanna ask if u dont mind?DD4 Ram Corsair faulty how can i exchange?Thing is when i bought it @ Sim Lim Square i lost the receipt.Any idea?
@@yuscastello7985 I would advise you to go back or call the shop where you get your rams from. ask them to provide you the receipt which is based on your crucial rams serial number, then approach our local distro, make sure you have the original box with the distro sticker on it. If shop does not have your receipt, which I doubt so, you can try call in to the distro and ask if you can RMA the rams. again make sure you have the distro sticker on the original box.
This video is great exactly what I needed, quick question though - is it possible to connect 2 sets of 3 ST120s to the hub without the AIO? Is there also a way to sync up the RGB strip from my XL dynamic?
Hello Adam Thomspon, welcome to my channel. Yes all are possible, you will need fan splitters and the argb converters to your ST 120 fans, same apply to your XL strips. I will start off with the XL strips. in your case where there is a box where it connects to your case argb strip, at the end there is a standard argb connector which you can plug to your motherboard. Use that to plug to your uni controller, you will need a convertor to do so ( 1 TO 1 Female 5V 3pin - www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001598378033.html ) . now as for your ST120 Fans, for fan load, you will need a fan splitter that goes 3 to 1 ( www.amazon.com/Splitter-Computer-Extension-Converter-TeamProfitcom/dp/B07F8LV1BY/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=fan+splitter&qid=1613349241&sr=8-4 ) . Now as for the argb connector, this will be abit tricky. if you can find a splitter that can converts a 4 pin to 3 pin argb cable, you should be able to plug to your uni controller. However the problem is, I can't seems to find that cable for purchase. You might need to do some crimping, let me see if I can show you this weekend. I will do up a video to show you on this. Hope these answer your question. Do remember to subscribe and to click on the notification bell so that you get a notification when I upload the video to show you. Thank you very much!
@@KleoYan Hi Kleo I'll list out my parts and if you think it is possible to connect them all using L connect let me know My case is the o11 dynamic XL I have 6 ST120 fans 4 Unifans Strimer plus 24pin + 8pin cables I've purchased the lian li ARGB cable kit I'm thinking of connecting the strimer cables to the hub as you've shown in this video and then the 4 unifans to a slot This leaves 2 slots on the hub, I'll use one for 3 ST120 fans and then with the remaining slot would it be possible to connect the rgb strip from the case along with the remaining 3 fans in the same way you did the AIO cable?
@@adamthomspon4510 the side strip of the XL case you mean. Honestly it's kind of risky as the strip does draw an amount of current. I would just leave the strip for your case to control it. Just my opinion.

Hi Evan Spurlock, welcome back, now do you have a strimer plus in your build? if you have, you can do this imgur.com/gallery/kxd86ob . that will occupy the connection on the strimer plus controller which is cater for your case strip.
@@evanspurlock5953 if you just want to connect directly to the uni controller. You can, you need then converter and also to make sure to toggle your case stripe to motherboard mode.
Hey awesome video! Exact same setup but with all fans being SL120s. Everything worked fine for me, but when i set the fans to pwm mode on L-connect, the fans went full blast even on idle. Any ideas how can i fix this?
hi Ivan Tay, welcome back. just to check, have you set PWM mode in Bios? if you have not done that. your fans will go full blast. as the L-Connect application needs to take instruction from there. ua-cam.com/video/MCMkrQwFnKM/v-deo.html
@@MrTaynavaro hi which motherboard are you using? You will need to reboot your pc and press simultaneously on the del or f2 key till u get to your motherboard Bios / UEFI page. Different motherboard manufacturers have different layout. I only know ASRock is h/w monitor and for Gigabyte is smart fan and for Asus and MSI. I have no idea. This will give you some idea what to look for and to set as pwm mode
@@KleoYan mine is a gigabyte b550 vision d. I did went in to the smart fan menu, but all I can see is the different fan headers on the mobo which I didn’t use except cpu_opt for my AIO pump.
@@MrTaynavaro did you plug the pwm fan connector between the uni controller and to your motherboard fan header, example plug to ChassisFan1 or system_fan1 .. please make sure your AIO pump is connected to CPU_FAN1/WP and your Radiator fans on CPU FAN ... the rest of the fans you can connect to the uni controller. if you are confuse, let me know. I can set up a meeting call with you and to talk you through.
Thank you for the video, very easy to follow! My system is pretty much set up per your video and it is working great 👍🏼 I do have a question, if I want to connect 4 sets of fan (3 fans per set), along with Galahad and Strimer cables just as shown in this video, does it means I need to use two controllers? Unless I can combine a set of fan and the Strimer cables into one of the RGB slot on the fan controller. Assuming I only use the fan controller for RGB; pump & fan headers are directly connected to the motherboard.
Hi Jin, welcome to my channel and thank you for your compliment. for 4 sets of fans (3 to each set) I will not advise you to run more argb component with just one uni controller. there is a limitation on both SL or AL uni controller. You might want to go through this video on the dos and donts about the uni controller ua-cam.com/video/QQHJUQvKwlY/v-deo.html Once you know what's it's limitation, I adivse you to use two SL uni controllers along with an additional internal usb hub splitter from NZXT - nzxt.com/product/internal-usb-hub-gen-3 .Next you will need to do a firmware on both your SL uni controller and to make use of the L-Connect Version 2.0. All instructions are shown in this video, including the NZXT Internal USB hub. ua-cam.com/video/hZpzR_4917c/v-deo.html Now your motherboard might have another usb 2.0 header, you might not want to use the NZXT internal hub, but it's better to play safe than sorry. It happened to one of my friend's build. I've done up everything for him with accurate calculations, but he gone too greedy, he included a full set of strimmer plus (24pin + 2 x dual 8pin) and added more argb strip, using the argb splitter together with 4 SL fans to one output of the uni controller. The load is too much, he ended up melting the uni controller cables and the usb 2.0 header on his motherboard. If you have more questions and I did not reply you on your future comments. this is due to timezone difference. Currently Singapore is at 3:17am. Do send me an email at godzylatech@gmail.com with your questions and I will try my best to aid you out.
@@KleoYan thank you so much for the tips. I opted to use the 4th set of fans without RGB for now. Next time when I do major upgrade I will add internal USB hub and another lian LI fan controller.
What about this? 4 sets of fans (3 top, 3 bottom, 2 side, 1 rear) and the strimer plus? I have the argb kit from Lian li so I have the converters you mention. Right now strimer plus controller goes to connection 4 uni controller. That leaves me w 3 connections left on controller, but I have 4 sets of fans (3 top, 3 bottom, 2 side, 1 rear). Because my side is uni fan I can’t follow what you did w the stock fans
Hiya Kleo, thanks for the awesome video, saved me a lot of stress. I do have a few question's if you don't mind. I would like to be able to control the fan curve from my MB which is the dark hero, however when I switch to sync to MB all the fan turn up to 100% and don't follow the curve I've set in my bios. Also my fan RPMs aren't shown in my bios either. Am I doing it wrong? Would you mind telling me if this due to the Lian Li controller not allowing to set curves or do I have to set it up differently; and will I lose the better effects from the Lian Li controller if I do? thanks again for the great video, I'd never have worked it out from the included instructions :) (I'm using 6 Uni fans, 360 Galahad in an o11 ROG)
Hi Twistedf8, welcome to my channel and thank you for the compliment. you might want to check if your fans are set to PWM in your UEFI and this video might aid you to understand how the L-Connect works. ua-cam.com/video/Rm2emeyMUAk/v-deo.html , which you can control the PWM without switching to motherboard mode in L-Connect app. If you switch the L-Connect app to motherboard mode. you will need to use the motherboard to control the aRGB effects too. there is another way which most will choose as they can set the individual PWM curve on each set of fans, that is to leave the fan argb connected to the uni controller and directly plug the fans pwm at the motherboard fan header.
@@KleoYan Hey thanks for the warm welcome. So the video you linked explained everything and answered all my questions. I'll leave it as it is and hope Lian Li bring out a software update that adds curves to the L-Connect. thanks again for the great videos!!!
Hi Kleo, I need your advise, I am planning to mount 3xSL120 on Galahad 360 AIO purely for aesthetic. As for the connection for the set of fan on radiator, should I just connect to the controller?. My mobo is Aorus pro wifi z390
Hello Fredrick Jami, welcome to my channel, I would advise to connect the SL120 argb to the uni controller and the fan load connector to your motherboard CPU fan header. This way your motherboard will sense the temperature and to adjust the rpm of your SL120 accordingly.

Hey Kleo, I just received two 140mm uni Fans for the front-side of my o11 mini. I have to say I find them to be louder than I hoped for. There is always this hum. But that just means I don't find them to be really silent. They are still no loud fans I think. Monday two Noctua nf-a14 will arrive. If the sound is much better I will keep those instead of the uni fans. Btw if this kind of excludes the uni fans from my silent choice of fans I will be testing the probably most scientific (RGB )Fan out there: noiseblocker eLoop. This one could be interesting for your channel, too. Maybe they will send you some of you text them
Hello M.. thank you for the suggestion. to be honest. most of the equipment I reviewed indepth are not sponsored.. they are either from my friends or I bought myself.. I did try writing to various vendors like lian li, phanteks, NZXT and such, no reply.

This is a very informative video, as someone who's building his first PC with RGB and AIOs this is helpful as the last time I built one was when the RGB craze wasn't present. I do have a question though, I am planning to replace the Gallahad AIO's fans with 3 daisy-chained SL 120s that since the SL120 has a unique daisy chain function I should not need to use the cable at 2:26 and just use the cable at 3:04 to connect the Galahad's ARGB with the fans am I correct?
Hi no2study, welcome to my channel. Nope you don’t need either both cables. The SL120 is using 3pin jst connector and the Galahad pump is using that too. You will need to plug the fans to one output of the uni controller and the pump argb cable to another output of the uni controller.
@@KleoYan Oh I also have other fans that I will plug into the controller, I went all out and got 10 SL 120 uni fans. So I was wondering how I should set them all up in one controller unless I just plug the SL120 AIO fans I'll use to CPU header and then the remote on the Cha_Fan with the remaining fans

Hello MrYodi2007, welcome to my channel. If you only have the AIO and 3 x SL120 fans. sure you can do that. but if you going to plug more lian li products there are only four output on the uni controller.
Can I daisy chain the case led strip with both strimers into the unicontroller? Case is o11 dynamic xl black. It has a small rgb hub with sata power for the front panel led strip Thanks.
Hi Alvin, I believe you can do that, but you will need the strimer controller. if you notice the Strimer controller, one is for sata , one is for argb cable to the motherboard, which I have shown you here, to be plug to the uni controller. now see the last plug of the strimer controller, you can plug the XL argb cable to the strimer controller. once done, you will need to press on your case argb button to set it to motherboard mode. I don't have a case but I have done that for a friend which works. you will need to figure it out on the connection.

Example Case : O11D XL Motherboard : ASrock X570 Taichi Strimer Plus : 24pin + dual 8pin Top Fans : 3 x SL120 or AL120 on Galahad Radiator Side Fans : 3 x SL120 or AL120 Bottom Fans : 3 x SL120 or AL120 Rear Fan : 1 x SL120 or AL120 Kindly let me know in details so that I can aid you further.
@@doodiejjr Hi, hope this diagram will aid you. If it's too small, kindly download. take note that you will need additional cable set "Lian Li aRGB Cable Kit" in order for you to connect what's shown in the diagram. please read the 1st diagram which is the legend of the argb kit then apply the connection on the 2nd diagram imgur.com/gallery/F0khMEW
Hello KevTheBlackFox, welcome to my channel, yes you can do that not an issue. just a tip. if you intend to swap out those radiator fans with the AL or SL fans. let the uni controller controls the argb effect and plug your AL or SL rad fans 4 pin connector directly to the motherboard to CPU_FAN1. as some motherboard have warning detectors when fans that are connected to header CPU_FAN1 or CPU_FAN2/W_Pump. this is to play safe. Hope you understand what I mean.. same goes to your Galahad AIO , let the uni controller controls the lighting effects and the pump header directly to CPU_FAN2/W_Pump header.

Hi Kleo. Thanks for the video. i bought the argb kit from lian li and at 1:44, you connected 2 fans using that cable. If i have 3 fans in my aio, which cable i should use to connect all of them?
Hi Hóa Học Vui, welcome to my channel. if you are using SL on your radiator. use this diagram imgur.com/gallery/beYR8CN if you are using the original ST120, use this diagram imgur.com/gallery/ErMZdQh
Hi Kleo, I have couple of questions here:
I have the Galahad SL series AIO, Strimers, LED diffuser, and AL fans.
1. Can I connect the AIO and the SL separately? for example AIO on the port #1 and the SL (daisy chain) on the port #2 into my UniFan SL Controller?
2. Can I connect the Strimers and LED diffusers (Lian Li Lancool), each on the port #3 and #4 into my UniFan SL Controller?
3. If I connect the rest of my AL fans to a separate UniFan AL Controller, what accessories should I have to make it all works? does it only need the USB gen2 port on the MoBo? (separate from the UniFan SL Controller)
thank you
Hi Eduardus Pribadi, welcome to my channel.
Q1. Can I connect the AIO and the SL separately? for example AIO on the port #1 and the SL (daisy chain) on the port #2 into my UniFan SL Controller?
A1. yes you can not an issue.
Q2. Can I connect the Strimers and LED diffusers (Lian Li Lancool), each on the port #3 and #4 into my UniFan SL Controller?
A2. you can do that too but your LED diffusers will need a convertor to convert from standard argb connector the the JST03 connect, as your uni controller only accept those type of connectors.
Q3. If I connect the rest of my AL fans to a separate UniFan AL Controller, what accessories should I have to make it all works? does it only need the USB gen2 port on the MoBo? (separate from the UniFan SL Controller)
A3. Besides additional uni controller, you will need to have an additional USB socket on your motherboard and you will need to run the L-Connect 2 application.
hope all these answered your question. thank you!
Just wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU! I'm doing a father/son first gaming PC build and this RGB solution is exactly what I was looking for.

Hello Nathaniel Floyd Fortuno, welcome to my channel. yes you can connect your distro argb to the uni controller. if your distro plate comes with the standard argb 5v connector, you will need to have a converter.

2.) Can I daisy chain a single AL 120 with a triple AL 120 and put that on one channel from the controller for RGB and PWM? \
Thank you for your help and expertise!
hello LunaChop, welcome to my channel. I will answer your questions as follow :
Q1) You combined the AIO pump and fan RGB into the controller, but only the fan PWM went into the controller, does the pump PWM still go to the motherboard?
A1) yes I plug the galahad pump directly to the motherboard fan header.
Q2) Can I daisy chain a single AL 120 with a triple AL 120 and put that on one channel from the controller for RGB and PWM?
A2) yes you can plug the single AL fan to the existing 3 x AL fans, but you will need to get the lian li argb kit. One thing to take note. if you plug the single AL fans to the existing, when you set stack or mix.. the single AL fan will be treated as a single unit, it does not sycn up with the exisiting fan.
@@KleoYan Thanks so much Kleo, your expertise is hugely appreciated. I have one more question, I'm sure you've addressed it in an updated video but I can't find the exact answer. How do I pass control for the Strimer V2 L-Connect 3 controller to the Uni Controller? The L-Connect controller I have does not have the 4 buttons to push on the housing. I believe I wired everything correctly but I'm not getting RGB to the Strimer wires and I assume that's because I still need to enable control through the Uni controller. Do you know how to enable control without being able to push and hold a button? Thanks so much Kleo, you're the best!
@@lunachop2566 Hello LunaChop, you will need the Strimer Plus V2 controller and not plug to your uni controler. Hope this video will explain more about the L-Connect 3 app. ua-cam.com/video/CgvuUFeff8U/v-deo.html
@@KleoYan I'm sorry Kleo, I wasn't clear with my wording. I have the strimer controller but I think it is a newer model. How do I switch the strimer controller to motherboard mode so the uni controller can control it? There is no M1 button on my strimer controller.
@@lunachop2566 hi, for the v2 Strimer plus controller, you only have the option in L-Connect 3, under Quick/Sync lighting at the left sub menu. You will need to enable "motherboard Software sync" but when you do this. your uni fans will follow too. so that the downside of the V2 Strimer plus controller.
Awesome video, however I have the same setup, 10 fans, galahad, and strimer plus cables, but what about the case o11 evo light strip? I can't use the 3p from the splitter connecting the strimer controller it says on lian li site. I do have another uni hub though, so if I use another hub, then I will need to go to two different lconnect to sync everything? Working with z690 msi carbon wifi which also has rgb...
Hello Jason Rives, welcome to my channel and this might be your answer, your strimer plus controller has another cable which is 3pin, thats for your olld xl case argb to it imgur.com/gallery/kxd86ob
@@KleoYan "any mistake your cable will melt or your controller will blow"... if the pc turns on or not, should be exciting either way.
@@jasonrives hi ya Jason Rives. I forget to mention, you can use another uni controller too if you want to. And as why I’ve stated that clause. Which some have plugged instead of the in argb to the case controller. They plus out. Causing a short which will melt or blow either of the controllers. So ya, if you know what you are doing with the diagram I’ve provided, then proceed if not, use another uni controller. All the best in your build 👍
OMG thank you so much for this I had like 3 Y connectors coming out of 1 ARGB header and it wasn't sitting right with me so I did some searching and found this. Going to pick up a ARGB kit ASAP. Thank you so much. I had some questions I think would be awesome if you could dive into:
1) is it possible to set the AIO fans to sync as needed to the CPU Temps? Since its going to be connected to the controller instead of the CPU fan header I'm wondering if there's a tradeoff here in how it reacts to the CPU settings. I first had the AIO fans daisy chained to the CPU fan header and notice they would rev up periodically. Now that I'm going to take it off the motherboard and connect them to the hub I'm wondering if ill loose any sync function here.
2)Could you run though how to check and ensure that the CPU pump is running at full speed. I'm sure it varies by motherboard but I'm also sure any info shared can help everyone figure out their own settings as needed.
3) Is there any way to pair or unpair the strimmer from the controller without opening up the pc and holding the button? or is it you pick which you want and settle with it.
Thanks again for all your help!
Hi Chris Xavier, welcome to my channel, I did notice your questions when you posted them 7 hours ago but I am at work. unable to answer you in detials. now if you are getting the argb cable kit, this is just a diagram guide imgur.com/gallery/beYR8CN. now to answer your questions
A1) you are able to but you will need to load the L-connect with the settings loaded. I would still advise you to leave the lighting effects on the uni controller and the fan load directly to the CPU FAN and your AIO Pumb to CPU_Fan1/pump. set the PWM in bios to controller CPU FAN base on temperature. as for the CPU_FAN1/pump. set to pump and I will run at full speed.
2) let me see what I can do with a seperate video.
3) there are no other ways to do that, unless you do some mods to do some soldering on the strimer controller's pcb and to extend the switch outside the case. I am terrible sorry that the strimers I have presented in this channel, that does not belongs to me, I have returned to the owner and I myself do not own one. If not I might be able to show you how to do the soldering points
@@KleoYan thanks kleo
So if I'm understanding correctly it won't work to just set the radiator fans only to pwm in the L-connect software?
@@ProfXc hi, it will work is just that when your pc starts up before window load. The fans might just ram up all the way full, till your windows os is fully loaded and also to load the L-Connect application. Then the L-Connect will trigger the pwm profile to the output where you plug your fans in the uni controller.
I hope am not confusing you.
@@ProfXc know what, this will give you a clearer picture ua-cam.com/video/Rm2emeyMUAk/v-deo.html btw I have a series of videos about these fans you might want to check out. Especially the dos and donts. Very important, do check out my description as all the uni controller videos might be useful for you. Or even this playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLEW-b-2vYDdPo0NzHyeksx012c-nkDapm.html
For anyone wanting a seamless integration of fans, RGB, Strimers, etc. this combo is fantastic. I used the Lian Li 011 Dynamic Mini, ASUS B550 MB, & all Lian Li Uni-fans, AIO 360, Strimers, etc. & with the L-Connect s/w if's a beautiful thing. Minimal wiring required for a normally complex wiring maze. Kleo's wiring diagram was very helpful.
Note: Order the Lian Li cable accessory kit, it comes with everything required for full integration.

I am wondering if the effects for the strimer plus are limited by using the software instead?
Hi ya, if you are using the strimer plus v1, yes, there are limitation if you use l-connect. Infact you should get a v2 controller if you are using the v1 strimer plus. If you have that, you have more argb effects to play with the l-connect 3.
Thank you for the informative video. I have a question however, if I'm trying to connect the stock Galahead 360 AIO fans to the Uni controller will I still need to purchase the 3pin to female adapter? So far I have x6 SL120 UNI fans and the Galahead 360 AIO with its stock fans. I'm so confused as to how I should set this up and I don't want to run into problems when I install it. I hope to hear from you soon!
Hello ReachDavidKim, welcome to my channel, if you are using the default ST120 fans which comes with your Galahad AIO, as I have illustrated in this video at 0:50 , plug to the cables provided in your Galahad and you will need the 3pin to female adapter. is either you purchase the lian li argb kit or alternatively to purchase the cable which I have shown you (in white). below is what you need.

Ok I'm guessing the 4 wire splitter plug goes into one of the controller ports and the two other ends of the splits only have three wires because the controller box will use the PWM signal if enabled and control the fan speeds...are my assumptions correct?
Hi Austin Parton me, I just woke up. The fan cable consist of 3 sets of cable. 1 set is for fan which is 4 pin and one set is 3 pin (unique 3pin connector). The 4 pin is for your fan to spin which is yes. It takes reading of pwm. As for the 3 pin is for your argb effects. At each output of the controller. It comes in a set. One for fan load one for argb load. Hope that helps
Great video man !
But i have a problem, instead of the provided-fans for the Galahad 240, i have 2 SL120, and I can't make it works, i'm stuck at the beginning :(

14:40 Hello! Nice video. I’m thinking to buy a Lian Li PCO Mini and get 9 SL120 fans (3 in the top, 3 in the bottom, 2 in a 240mm AIO and 1 in the back). And I also want to buy a set of lian li Strimer cables. My question is: Can I connect the 9 fans to one uni controller and then connect the strimer cables to the strimer controller and then the controller to a second uni controller? That way I would have 2 uni controllers in my rig and I could control each of the controllers by they L software, right?
I hope this make sense haha
Hello Melvin, if you wanted two controller for this. you can.. you will need to get two uni controller and the way to do it is to check your uni controller and depending on which set of SL you have gotten. here are some videos which will allow you to use two controllor. before you proceed, I would advise you to make sure you can use the controller before you buy more. test them out before you get back fired as some users having issue not able to even use 1 controller.

nice video, in case taht i bought the unifan infinity, then the hue will only be compatible with infinity fans right? if that is the case... could i connect my lian li streamer cable to that infinity hue too? saludos
Hi Carlupi CLIPS, welcome to my channel. The strimer plus is too much ampere for the uni controller / Hub to handle. You should use the strimer plus hub or controller.
@@KleoYan thanks for answer, is a little difficult fore me to ask in English. Hope You understand my questions :3, i write wrong the name of My cable, i Buy the strimer 3x8 pin to 12 and 3xunifan Infinity.
@@KleoYan right now i have 3 fans that are corsair (only with blue light) 3 coming from the case( no light, just the PWM connector) and the 3 lian Li Infinity, plus the strimer 3x8 to 12 pins. My motherboard doesnt have enough pwm connectors or any argb (3 pins, 5v connector). So, i bought a generic pwm hub to all the fans ( except the lian Li ones) and the lian Li and strimer cable connected using their own hubs. My questions is if i'm doing it right about the cable connections, and if i using the hub for the strimer and the hub of the Infinity to the unifans x3 could the L- connect software recognize all My lian Li pieces to config the effects (strimer cable + unifans x3)

Thank you for the explanation but I do have a question. I have a Lian Li Lancool 2 Mesh RGB that has a built-in controller. Can I connect it all to the built-in controller instead of the Unifan controller?
Hi Kirito, welcome to my channel, I do not encourage you to do so, as each controller has it's load limit. please view the dos and donts in this playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLEW-b-2vYDdPo0NzHyeksx012c-nkDapm.html (this is the load limit of the uni controller) as for the load limit of your case controller, this I have no idea what's the load as I have already sold my lancool II case.

Nice video. In your the last example (input 4, rear + bottom), are you able to control the argb of each fan individually?
Hi dj66, welcome to my channel. the answer is no, you can control the rear fan if you did a y-splitter connection.
Awesome video, Any chance you can post the cable layout for your connector between the Galahad fans and and the Uni Fan controller? I have some spare parts at home and was thinking of making my own converter.
hi Vlad D, welcome to my channel., I do not have the actual layout for the coverter cables I did, but this is with the lian li argb cable kit. application is almost the same. Just for your reference this is the original Galahad with ST120 fans imgur.com/gallery/ErMZdQh if you wish to use the AL or SL fans, this is another diagram imgur.com/gallery/beYR8CN . as for how I did the cable converters, you can refer to the " Lian Li Uni Fan Controller- Custom Crimp Connectors" ua-cam.com/play/PLEW-b-2vYDdPo0NzHyeksx012c-nkDapm.html
nice video! i have a question, can u use different brand fans with lian li app? or connect different brand fans to ur uni fans controller?
Hello rodem paras, welcome to my channel, the answer is yes, but before you do that, I would advise you to go through the dos and donts about the uni controller ua-cam.com/video/QQHJUQvKwlY/v-deo.html once you understood what's the limitation.

Hi!
Thank you so much for the video. It was really helpful. I have a question if you don't mind. Does the Y splitter @ 9:13 and the 2male to 1 female rgb plug @9:37 comes with the Uni fans or AIO or do I have to purchase it separately?
HI Andy To, welcome to my channel and thank you for the feedback. the Y Splitter @ 9:13 and the 2male to 1 female rgb plus @ 9:37 does not come with the uni fan or AIO, you will need to purchase them separately. I have listed the Y Splitter connector for argb connection in my description. As for the fan splitter is easy to find. I will list the Y Spliter argb connector for you below.

Should I connect the pump to pump_fan or cpu_fan?
Hello KEZZIE, welcome to my channel. I would do this if I am you. connect the Pump to the pump_fan and for radiator fans, i will connect to the CPU_FAN. reason being, if you plug the radiator fan to the uni controller instead of the motherboard header, in the event if your uni fan failed. at least your fans are still cooling the radiator. I can afford to lose lightening effects but not fan stoping to cool the processor,
Hey from Germany. Thanks for the video so that I could connect my 9 uni fans, the strimers and my Gallahad. I got the O11 Case Razer edition do u think there is a possibility to connect the led stripes from that case to the uni fan controller? With gskill ram there is no chance to control with L-Connect right?
Hello Raf Schi, welcome to my channel. For the O11D strip, connect it to the strimer controller. there this third cable which you can do that. so that which i did explain on this video ua-cam.com/video/Y0ni_tfcX3g/v-deo.html if you are confuse how that works. read the manual drive.google.com/file/d/151v3Al6J36hiw_nKmSN4dpQOXWrDY-qq/view that says "Suppoer output compatible (WS2812B) Led control Signale [D1.

Great video, i will be setting up:

3 x fans that come with the aio on different locations (2 on intake side, 1 on exhaust rear)
1 x set of uni fans bottom intake
1 x strimmer plus 24pin
1 x strimmer plus 8 pin
If i purchase the lian li argb cable kit do I still need to puechase any more converter cables?
Hello S C, welcome to my channel. Nope you do not need my self crimp converter. Follow this. This is just a guideline imgur.com/gallery/beYR8CN
@@KleoYan Thank you for the quick reply and for providing the link to the quick guide
So from my understanding, I should be fine to connect it all with the ARGB Cable Kit
- I would connect the 2 x strimer cables to the provided controller and then into the uni controller Port 1 with the cable kit converter.
- I would then connect the galahad pump and 1 x 3 set UNIFANs (AIO and top Exhaust) with the provided daisy chain cable and then use a converter from the cable kit into the uni controller port 2
- Then I could just plug 1 x 3 Unifan (bottom intake) to port 3
- Lastly I would need to use the provided splitter for the 3 STI fans from the Galahad AIO for the 3 ARGB into 1 and plug into Uni controller port 4 ARGG and then use the provided 3 head fan splitter direct into the Uni controller port 4 Fan. (2 fans on side intake and 1 fan on rear)

I have the uni fan controller with the Lian Li ST120 120mm are they the same as the one you used?
Hello NootNoot, welcome to my channel. If yours are ST120, yup those shown in the video are ST120 fans
I do have a question regarding setting the ASUS Bios for fan control. Using your configuration plus having the PWM wire connected to the MB, in the Bios what do you set the Aura setting to, ON or OFF? Also I'm assuming you set up a fan curve in the ASUS bios then turn on PWM to the fan set you wish to have the fan curve to use? Also I saw where you recommend plugging the Lian Li AIO into the CHA Header so the AIO always runs at full speed,. Have I missed anything on Bios settings that should be set? Thank you!
hi Austin Boil, just for your info, I am not using an Asustek board but a ASrock board. Having to say this. based on Asustek motherboard bios, I would set Aura settings to on, if you intend to use the motherboard to controller the argb of your fans. this will give you a better picture on the connection and settings. ua-cam.com/video/Rm2emeyMUAk/v-deo.html.
as for Fan in your bios, I will set to PWM mode and set the curve there. so when you use your L-Connect application. you can select PWM. the same video will give you a better idea on how it works. ua-cam.com/video/Rm2emeyMUAk/v-deo.html , if you ever need clarification, do let me know we can always communicate througth teams or zoom or etc.. will be glad to aid you, but during the weekdays am busy at work. it will be best to do it during the weekends. thank you!
@@KleoYan Thank you! I do use Teams so we will see how it goes & have that as a communication option. Setting MB to PWM makes sense for the fan curve then control via L Connect set to PWM. I did watch your other video showing the RGB & PWM wire connections on the MB. Will let you know how it turns out.
@@AustinBoil ok, all the very best in your build :)
Love every video about Uni fan controller but i was wondering what if i connect 2 of these controller in same motherboard? should work just fine (wish to control 18 fans, 9 in each controller unit)
Hi Giacomo Pelizer, welcome to my channel. I am afraid not so. The L-Connect version 1.0 will only detects 1 USB 2.0 connection. I do understand some motherboard have 2 x USB 2.0 header. If you plug another uni controller to the 2nd USB 2.0 header, it will not work.
Previously, there is a L-Connect version 2.0 but was removed due to issues and errors, therefore Lian Li decided to remove this version till further notice. you might want to check their official website on the updates. They did mentioned to release it again, once it's stable. lian-li.com/product/uni-fan-sl/ scroll down and you will see the version 2.0 notice.
I don’t kno ur gonna reply but here’s a shot
I will be having a total of 9 uniinfinty fans and also 2 extra sl 140 uni fans + 24/8 pin strimmer cable will that work on 2
Controllers or would I need 3 if possible
Hello HustlerKid, welcome to my channel. As what I see, you need 1 controller do to the trick. I assume your Strimer Plus are not the V2. let me break it down for you
For SL Infinity Fans
3 Top fans + 1 rear fans, using the merge link cables between these fans, then connect it to Port 1 of the SL Inf Uni hub
3 bottom fans connected to Port 2 of the SL Inf Uni Hub
3 fans (Which I have no idea where they are mounted) to Port 2 of the SL Inf Uni Hub
For SL 140
2 fans plug only the ARGB to Sync 2 of the SL Inf Uni Hub (the effects will follow Port 2) and the fan pwm cables directly to your motherboard fan header (PWM is controll by your motherboard utility
Strimer Plus
all strips are to plug to the strimer plus controller, then the cable that goes to the motherboard ARGB header, plug it to Sync 4 of the SL Inf Uni Hub (ARGB effects will follow Port 4)
hope that answer your question.
How did you make those adapters for the strimers and gahlahad I have been looking everywhere for them and no one sells any?
Hi Mike Daigle, welcome to my channel. you can find these converters here www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001598378033.html , just make sure to select 1 To 1 , Female 5V 3pin (look at the picture to confirm) or if you can do it yourself here ua-cam.com/video/Lz90i5ym4Dw/v-deo.html
Hi i have the lian li evo rgb case with the case rgb strip, how can i connect 7 SL INF fans, galahad 360 SL INF AIO, 24 pin strimer v2 cable and the 3x8 strimer v2 cable. I have the uni fan controller and strimer controller?
theres also only 2 usb header on motherboard and the galahad cooler with controller takes up 2 usb ports, so i wont have enough for the strimer controller.
Is it possible to connect STRIMER V2 controller with fan controller
And do i definitely need argb cable kit?
Hi Jamil Rahman, I assume your Galahad is of the GA II Trinity SL-INF. If you want all to sync up using L-Connect 3 app, you will need to get additional item
1) Lian-Li USB 2.0 1-to-3 HUB
2) Lian Li ARGB Kit
Method to plug
1) Plug the Lian-Li USB 2.0 1-to-3 Hub to the motherboard USB Header (either Port 1 or 2)
1) Connect the Sata cable to the connector of your SL Inf Controller sata connector, Connect the USB cable from SL Inf Controller to the Lian-Li USB 2.0 1-to-3 Hub
2) Plug you SL Inf fans (ARGB & PWM) to the controller (occupied only 3 ports, example Port 1 to 3)
3) Connect USB Cable from the Galahad AIO pump to the Lian-Li USB 2.0 1-to-3 Hub
4) Connect USB Cable from the Strimer plus V2 controller to the Lian-Li USB 2.0 1-to-3 Hub
5) Connect your strimer plus v2 strips to the Strimer plus V2 controller
6) Plug the case sata to your PSU sata cable
7) Plug the case argb 3pin to convert it with the Lian Li argb kit which labled Y-Type 3P Signal Cable of the official website lian-li.com/product/argb_cable_kit/, then the other end to your SL-Inf controller port
make sure to set your case to bypass the case button and to sync to motherboard, which in this case is pointing to your SL-Inf Controller. Then you can make use of L-Connect 3 app to control all the argb effects.

As for multiple hub. Nope I have not try that.
As for your idea to connect multiple hub and other brand controllers. I do not encourage you to do so. These are the reason.
Having loads to lighting effects looks cool but it does these.
1) more ampere drawn from PSU.
2) more heat generating inside your case
3) too much IRQ conflict with different controllers, which may cause irresponsive controls.
4) Making your pc to run with more unnecessary background task.

Hi Ares, welcome to my channel, it should not be a problem as each output can cater for 4 fan max which is at 2.6a, the power drawn from the uni controller is directly from the PSU, same goes to the strimer controller. so long you have these two controllers plug directly from PSU sata to these controller and please make sure that the SL fans are connected to the uni controller output (4 fan max), same goes to your strimer plus, make sure they are plug to the strimer controller. you will be fine.

Great video, very detailed.
However, I seem to be hitting a major snag.
Using Galahad 360, 7 AL120, Strimer plus 24/8 and ARGB kit.
I've followed the steps exactly, however only the pump works, the fans don't spin and only the RGB of the strimers light.
Using LConnect, I can see the 4 groups, but it had no effect.
Additionally, the only variation would be the adapter cable - the one that comes with the kit has 2 ends, which I've only used one each.
I've tried just setting the galahad and it's rad fans to '1' and disconnecting the other items, but the same problem persists.
Devices work when plugged directly into motherboard (rgb & fan header)
Motherboard model - Asus B550F strix.
Is it possble you might be able to help me figure this out?
Hi ArchvileX, welcome to my channel. Do you happened to have the Armory Crate installed in your system to control other argbs, like your GPU and rams. If you have, try this. uninstall the amour crate, using revo uninstaller. www.revouninstaller.com/revo-uninstaller-free-download/ . next remove your L-Connect 2 app. reboot your system, once boot up check to see if you can see the the L-Connect device under Universal Bus in device management, then install only the L-Connect 2 app, test out the fans and argb effects. see if that works.
Thanks for the quick response, however I just figured it out right after I gave up, and you'll prob have a laugh at why.
I kept wondering how all the devices attached to the Uni Controller could possibly be drawing power from the USB 2 header..then I realized BOTH the Strimer Controller and the Uni Hub need sata power! 🤦.
Reattached everything and it works! Now I just have to arrange my fans so I can create effects in a sync direction (I missed the lconnect 3 sign.
Again, thanks so much for this detailed tutorial, and hopefully anyone else who might make my mistake will see this!
@@shenarchvile you are most welcome. Btw am not sure if you are aware of this. There are limitation to the uni controller, so don’t go by keep adding argb which will overload the controller.

Will do
This will be the extent of the Rgb to be added, so hopefully it's fine. If not, can I use a second controller and it sync perfectly?
@@shenarchvile if you are using the L-Connect 2 yes you can add another controller. no issue.. just remember to plug the sata this time 👍
hello kleo, what do you mean by "...... . . . use SL120 or sl140 FANS. Nothing else." I mean, I can use other brand of fans for example cooler master mf120, can't I? Ive seen your other video whereby you've used the EK Vardar fan. any tips or suggestion to clarify this matter?
Hi Jeff Hannan, welcome to my channel and you are right. You can use other argb fans so long each of those fans does not have a argb load beyond 0.65 and to daisy chain more than 4 to a output of the uni controller. Now as I have shown here with nothing else. My bad, I was thinking interns of the L-Connect argb patterns as other fans is unlike the SL or AL fans which is able to do individual argb effect colors, else other fans will just follow the left overs which at lian Li productions. Hope that clarify your doubts. Thank you.

Hi Heran Buddhika, welcome to my channel. yes you can, before you proceed anything, I advise you to go thorough the dos and dont about this uni fans.ua-cam.com/video/QQHJUQvKwlY/v-deo.html and for you to connect what you have asked.

@@KleoYan thanks for the fast response. Another clarification, let’s say you have 360mm aio with 3 uni fans. So how would you connect those 3 fans to cpu fan header? Pardon me if I’m asking silly questions
@@heraNbUdDHikA Hi, it's not at all silly, everyone is learning and I am too learning :) .. ok to answer your question. yes you can plug to the CPU fan header. this is my personal opinion, I will plug the AIO pump to CPU mobo fan header and the fans that are attached to the raditor to CPU_OPT/CPU_2 mobo fan header. Then leaving all argb connection of the pump and radiator fans to the uni controller.
Is it all possible to connect the EKWB Velocity D-RGB and the Bitsky GPU block in the controller together with 6x lian-li uni fans?
Hello Christopher John Casanada, welcome to my channel, to be honest, so long is argb 5v it will be possible but you will need to 1st know what's the drawing amperage as each output of the uni controller is 2.26a. You will also need a converter to plug your fans to the uni controller. .. this might interest you as I have done on EK Vardar EVO 120ER D-RGB ua-cam.com/video/bMRz2KVqbjA/v-deo.html
Hi. do you know what cable i need to connect my lian li controller to my motherboard. i lost the cables that allow my motherboard to control my fan speed. its the cable that plugs into controller and also plugs into motherboard fan header. do you know what cable i need? thanks any help would be appreciated.
Hi aminul hoque. welcome to my channel. just for your info, you do not need that cable if you only to controll the fans RPM. you can directly plug the fan connector of the SL fans directly to the motherboard and to use the motherboad to control the RPMs instead. but if you do need that cable, am sorry that you will need to contact lian li directly as ask if they are able to supply you or sell you a separate cable.
Hey Kleo great video! I have a question. Whenever I set all the fans to PWM mode in L-Connect 2 they all go to full rpm? It's very loud and frustrating. Have I done something wrong?
Hi Evan Surlock, welcome to my channel. may I ask on your uni controller, does it have a SL labeled on the controller itself or does it not have that mark? If it's without the SL mark labeled. you might want to do a firmware on it, here is a video on the details. ua-cam.com/video/hZpzR_4917c/v-deo.html

@@evanspurlock5953 I see, if that's the case, you don't have to worry about the firmware. You might want to check your motherboard UEFI/Bios setting, just make sure that the PWM cable which you connect from your controller to the motherboard fan header is set to PWM and not DC mode or such...
@@KleoYan I will check that! So how many cables come out of the controller and connect to the motherboard?

Hello, I had a question. I have 9 unifans, 3 will go on the side, 3 on the bottom and the last 3 will replace the stock fans from the galahad. All these fans will go to the uni fan hub, then I will also run the strimers through their controller with the special cable to the hub. However this leaves the argb from the galahad pump without a spot in the hub. How would I go about connecting it to the hub?

@@alexianaixela I see, I've gone through that vid, all argb are activated on all SL fans, galahad and strimer plus. Else the ST120 that comes with the radiator are not activated. you can do it with this illustration, download them and try to understand which cable to which cable. imgur.com/gallery/beYR8CN
by the way I will not advise you to do push pull configuration on the radiator with different fans. It's bad to configure it that way, reason being, different fans have different build as 8in the pressure static. This will cause unnecessary turbulence and noise. Also yes it looks nice. looks powerful but it's not practically useless as your radiator is 38mm thick. if you configure that way. it will only drop 1 to 2 degrees most, so why waste the current from the PSU on 3 sets of additional fans which does not really perform. That's my opinion and of course, the choice is yours. If you really wanted to configure that way. I would advise you to use two controllers. this is where I use two controllers ua-cam.com/video/9A-Jw9aEjmI/v-deo.html if you are still confuse on the connection. maybe contact me via email godylatech@gmail.com .

This video is great exactly what I needed, quick question though - is it possible to connect 2 sets of 3 ST120s to the hub without the AIO? Is there also a way to sync up the RGB strip from my XL dynamic?
Hello Adam Thomspon, welcome to my channel. Yes all are possible, you will need fan splitters and the argb converters to your ST 120 fans, same apply to your XL strips. I will start off with the XL strips. in your case where there is a box where it connects to your case argb strip, at the end there is a standard argb connector which you can plug to your motherboard. Use that to plug to your uni controller, you will need a convertor to do so ( 1 TO 1 Female 5V 3pin - www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001598378033.html ) . now as for your ST120 Fans, for fan load, you will need a fan splitter that goes 3 to 1 ( www.amazon.com/Splitter-Computer-Extension-Converter-TeamProfitcom/dp/B07F8LV1BY/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=fan+splitter&qid=1613349241&sr=8-4 ) . Now as for the argb connector, this will be abit tricky. if you can find a splitter that can converts a 4 pin to 3 pin argb cable, you should be able to plug to your uni controller. However the problem is, I can't seems to find that cable for purchase. You might need to do some crimping, let me see if I can show you this weekend. I will do up a video to show you on this.

I do have a question, if I want to connect 4 sets of fan (3 fans per set), along with Galahad and Strimer cables just as shown in this video, does it means I need to use two controllers?
Unless I can combine a set of fan and the Strimer cables into one of the RGB slot on the fan controller. Assuming I only use the fan controller for RGB; pump & fan headers are directly connected to the motherboard.
Hi Jin, welcome to my channel and thank you for your compliment. for 4 sets of fans (3 to each set) I will not advise you to run more argb component with just one uni controller. there is a limitation on both SL or AL uni controller. You might want to go through this video on the dos and donts about the uni controller ua-cam.com/video/QQHJUQvKwlY/v-deo.html
Once you know what's it's limitation, I adivse you to use two SL uni controllers along with an additional internal usb hub splitter from NZXT - nzxt.com/product/internal-usb-hub-gen-3 .Next you will need to do a firmware on both your SL uni controller and to make use of the L-Connect Version 2.0. All instructions are shown in this video, including the NZXT Internal USB hub. ua-cam.com/video/hZpzR_4917c/v-deo.html
Now your motherboard might have another usb 2.0 header, you might not want to use the NZXT internal hub, but it's better to play safe than sorry. It happened to one of my friend's build. I've done up everything for him with accurate calculations, but he gone too greedy, he included a full set of strimmer plus (24pin + 2 x dual 8pin) and added more argb strip, using the argb splitter together with 4 SL fans to one output of the uni controller. The load is too much, he ended up melting the uni controller cables and the usb 2.0 header on his motherboard.
If you have more questions and I did not reply you on your future comments. this is due to timezone difference.

Hiya Kleo, thanks for the awesome video, saved me a lot of stress. I do have a few question's if you don't mind. I would like to be able to control the fan curve from my MB which is the dark hero, however when I switch to sync to MB all the fan turn up to 100% and don't follow the curve I've set in my bios. Also my fan RPMs aren't shown in my bios either. Am I doing it wrong? Would you mind telling me if this due to the Lian Li controller not allowing to set curves or do I have to set it up differently; and will I lose the better effects from the Lian Li controller if I do? thanks again for the great video, I'd never have worked it out from the included instructions :) (I'm using 6 Uni fans, 360 Galahad in an o11 ROG)
Hi Twistedf8, welcome to my channel and thank you for the compliment. you might want to check if your fans are set to PWM in your UEFI and this video might aid you to understand how the L-Connect works. ua-cam.com/video/Rm2emeyMUAk/v-deo.html , which you can control the PWM without switching to motherboard mode in L-Connect app. If you switch the L-Connect app to motherboard mode. you will need to use the motherboard to control the aRGB effects too.
there is another way which most will choose as they can set the individual PWM curve on each set of fans, that is to leave the fan argb connected to the uni controller and directly plug the fans pwm at the motherboard fan header.

Can’t you simplify by using two uni hub controllers?
Hi Bill Aegerter, welcome to my channel. yes you can by using L-Connect 2 which I've done an overview ua-cam.com/video/9A-Jw9aEjmI/v-deo.html and two other videos ua-cam.com/video/hZpzR_4917c/v-deo.html & ua-cam.com/video/1n1mo6TDwvY/v-deo.html and if you've not realized, this video was created before L-Connect 2 was released by Lian Li. Thank you for your feedback and to have visited my channel.
If i have uni controller and i connect top fans 1 slot, bottom 2 slot, side 3 slot can i connect strimmer & back fan splitter wire to last 4 slot in uni connector? Will it work?
HI JV Ritola, welcome to my channel. I would daisy chain the rear fan with a splitter to either the top or bottom fans. Let your strimmer plus to have one dedicated slot. This diagram will illustrate what I meant imgur.com/gallery/beYR8CN . Once again thank you to have visit my channel and all the best in your build.
@@KleoYan thanks! Just got my New Lian Li mini 11 Case & bought 9 SL fans + strimmers 🤩

hello can you help me out please i have the Hyte Y60 case i am having problems fitting my Lian-Li uni fans AL120 v2 ARGB To My ASUS rog Ryujin 360 RBG all-in -one liquid CPU Cooler 360 because the screws are not long enough to go through the FAN and then the bracket to the radiator they are to short.... so can you give me the name and the side of the ones you are using plz in your video also do you no where i can get these screw # 6-32 x 3/8 in from to plz i am in the UK
Hi Tony Lou, do pardon me for the late reply. in this content I am using the non v2 fans. the v2 are at thickness of 28mm and the radiator screws should measure 30mm in height. Though the V2 are at 28mm in height but you should be able to use the 30mm length rad screws of your Ryujin liquid AIO. maybe do some measurements if it's of non 30mm. you might need to get 30mm radiator screws www.amazon.co.uk/iplusmile-Stainless-Computer-Cooling-Radiator/dp/B09ZPRMGL2/ref=sr_1_20?crid=3A68N3E2SR7MC&keywords=radiator+screws+pc&qid=1699434025&sprefix=radiator+screws%2Caps%2C220&sr=8-20
Hey Kleo, thank you for this video. It helped me to set up Galahad+ 2x3 Uni fans+Strimmer cables into one Uni controller. I have a question about connecting O11 XL Front LED Light Stripes to the Strimmer Controller. I connected using the cable provided to the 3rd connection spot on the Strimmer controller but it is not working unfortunately. Can you explain to me exact connections that's needed from the case to the Strimmer controller? Thanks!
Hi Ninipiggy, welcome to my channel. all is needed is to connect the argb cable from the O11D XL control box which is located near the center pillar where cable management is done. then on your XL front panel, press and hold on the argb switch for 3 seconds, it will switch mode to take command from your strimer plus controller. Do remember to apply the same on your Strimer plus controller (hold 3 seconds on M1 till it takes instruction from the L-Connect).
will the uni fan controller work with other brand of AIO argbs?
Hi Lau Kyle, welcome to my channel. so long it's argb 5v and you have the convertor JST cable and it's below 2.6a of current drawn. you will be able to connect and to control.
If I have 9 AL120 fans and a Galahad 360. Can I connect the 3 uni fan adapters and the 2 cables form the Galahad to the controller that came with 3 pack unifans?
Hi Jason Deblou, welcome to my channel. maybe you can tell me your setup. example
Top 3 x Uni fan
Bottom 3 x Uni fan
Front 3 x Uni fan on AIO radiator
Rear ??
by the way what case are you using?
@@KleoYan 3x top, 3x side 3x bottom. O11 dynamic. I think I'm not able to control the fan speed if I connect the aio pump cable to the controller. So I'm thinking to plug the aio pump cable in the mobo ( strix x570 e gaming) and the argb cable in one of the groups separately in the controller.
@@jasondeblou6226 Hi, base on what you have mentioned. this is how it should be
Output 1 = 3 x fan top (both argb + fan load)
Output 2 = 3 x fan side (both argb + fan load)
Output 3 = 3 x fan bottom (both argb + fan load)
Output 4 = only argb for galahad pump, the pump load goes to the motherboard.
so I plugged everything in but the block for my Galahad is just staying white not changing colors with the fans???
Hello Houston Slade, welcome to my channel. You might want to recheck your connection of the AIO pump or to test it alone with the AIO argb controller first. just to make sure that it does change color.. need to do some troubleshooting.
Hey I did it bud and all most burn my house down lol it was my fault I put my strimmers and 10 al120 fans on the hub plus the lights on the front off the case and I did not notice that when you
Click all fans in the hub is 16 fans not 12 so I over loaded it but I was lucky that did not kill all my stuff and the fans so I no now what to do and not to do the think is I watched all your vids and I did it wrong lol but it works but I’m now nerves to do it again I did do again but I took it out but it’s ok thank you for the vids just wish I had watch them more than twice lol😜👍🏻😂😂😂😂
Hello Joe Thomson, welcome to my channel, am so sorry to hear this mishaps. I sincerely hope you will watch this video from my playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLEW-b-2vYDdPo0NzHyeksx012c-nkDapm.html, the dos and donts, SL and AL both have load limits on the uni controller. ok, it's better safe than sorry. do watch this ua-cam.com/video/QQHJUQvKwlY/v-deo.html and please becareful ok. all the best with your build, again am so sorry to hear the mishap you had.
Hi. Can you tell me what is the HUB or controller called that is connected to strimmer please?
Seems to look different and I can not find it anywhere on the internet.
I will be starting to build a PC with 10 unifans, strimmer, 8 pin Lian li rgb, Galahad 360 with unifans and I am a bit worried that it will not sync all together.
Ok I see now. It is a strimmer PLUS that does have this hub.
Hi BooYaa253, welcome to my channel and pardon me for the late reply. Yup that's correct it's the strimer plus controller when you purchase the strimer plus 24 pin cable or the combo set.
Hey Kleo,
I just received two 140mm uni Fans for the front-side of my o11 mini. I have to say I find them to be louder than I hoped for. There is always this hum.
But that just means I don't find them to be really silent. They are still no loud fans I think.
Monday two Noctua nf-a14 will arrive. If the sound is much better I will keep those instead of the uni fans.
Btw if this kind of excludes the uni fans from my silent choice of fans I will be testing the probably most scientific (RGB )Fan out there: noiseblocker eLoop. This one could be interesting for your channel, too. Maybe they will send you some of you text them
Hello M.. thank you for the suggestion. to be honest. most of the equipment I reviewed indepth are not sponsored.. they are either from my friends or I bought myself.. I did try writing to various vendors like lian li, phanteks, NZXT and such, no reply. I believe my channel is small that's why, but I will try writting to noiseblocker eLoop to see if they can sponsor some fans. If not lets see if I can get hold of those fans..
@@KleoYan It would be a shame for noiseblocker if they wouldn´t see the opportunity. your channel is still quite small but the content niveau is absolutely great. Also there aren´t many good reviews on youtube about the eloops.
@@-Ambos- hahaha.. thanks buddy.. will try to do my best.. see how it goes.

@@-Ambos- thank you so much for the support. 😊
Such an amazing detailed video
Welcome to my channel Green Machine and thank you for your feedback 👍
This is a very informative video, as someone who's building his first PC with RGB and AIOs this is helpful as the last time I built one was when the RGB craze wasn't present. I do have a question though, I am planning to replace the Gallahad AIO's fans with 3 daisy-chained SL 120s that since the SL120 has a unique daisy chain function I should not need to use the cable at 2:26 and just use the cable at 3:04 to connect the Galahad's ARGB with the fans am I correct?
Hi no2study, welcome to my channel. Nope you don’t need either both cables. The SL120 is using 3pin jst connector and the Galahad pump is using that too. You will need to plug the fans to one output of the uni controller and the pump argb cable to another output of the uni controller.
@@KleoYan Oh I also have other fans that I will plug into the controller, I went all out and got 10 SL 120 uni fans. So I was wondering how I should set them all up in one controller unless I just plug the SL120 AIO fans I'll use to CPU header and then the remote on the Cha_Fan with the remaining fans
@@no2study I see, if you are all out with 10 fans.. if possible get the lian li argb kit. I am not sure which case you are using, I am assuming this and below is just a illustration.
O11D XL case
Uni Controller Output 1 = Galahad argb connector (the pump connector goes to motherboard fan header)
Uni Controller Output 2 = Side fan x 3
Uni Controller Output 3 = Bottom fan x 3 on Galahad Radiator
Uni Controller Output 4 = Top fan x 3 + Rear fan x 1 (you will need a Y-Splitter for fan and for argb)
if you are getting the lian li argb cable kit, this might help you. imgur.com/gallery/beYR8CN
if you are not getting the lian li argb cable kit, this is what you need.

argb Y-splitter - www.ledlightinghut.com/2-way-3-pin-jst-sm-connector-splitter.html
@@KleoYan Yes I am using the O11D XL case and I did get the ARGB kit from Lian Li too. So in the picture which cables should I use for chaining the 4 fans? I am assuming cable A on the photo which is the Fan Y cable and Cable D for the RGB?
And as for the remote do you suggest me plugging it on CPU_OPT fan header or CHA_FAN?
@@no2study Yes correct. the argb cable kit connector A is fan splitter and D cable is argb.
Why do i need an ARGB cable if the fans/AIo can connect to the controller directly? I'm lost!
Hello MrYodi2007, welcome to my channel. If you only have the AIO and 3 x SL120 fans. sure you can do that. but if you going to plug more lian li products there are only four output on the uni controller.
Can I daisy chain the case led strip with both strimers into the unicontroller? Case is o11 dynamic xl black. It has a small rgb hub with sata power for the front panel led strip
Thanks.
Hi Alvin, I believe you can do that, but you will need the strimer controller. if you notice the Strimer controller, one is for sata , one is for argb cable to the motherboard, which I have shown you here, to be plug to the uni controller. now see the last plug of the strimer controller, you can plug the XL argb cable to the strimer controller. once done, you will need to press on your case argb button to set it to motherboard mode. I don't have a case but I have done that for a friend which works. you will need to figure it out on the connection. I would advise you to head down to lian li official website and look for info or even on their official youtube channel ua-cam.com/users/thelianlicase on this. thank you!
Thank you, I did not realize that third slot was an input. Thanks for your videos and your help.
6:05 I don’t have mobo strimer but only gpu one so I don’t have the controller for strimer cables.
Can I plug in directly to the other controller with that white cable ?
Hi Robertorgg, welcome to my channel. It's not advisable to connect the strimer plus to the uni controll, unless you are have the uni controller V2. (SL120 V2, AL120 V2 or even then SL-INF-120) . it's must advisable to plug the GPU strimer plus to your motherboard or if you fancy more argb effects, get the strimer plus V2 controller from Lian Li's offical store at aliexpress www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004239607087.html
@@KleoYan otherwise if I don’t mind losing some effects on the strimer cable can I link the controller only via USB and the strimer cable via 3pin 5V ?
Will it work ?
@@robertorgg137 Yup, that will work. pump and fans (SL-Inf-120) on uni controller via USB 2.0 to control the effects. GPU Strimer plus on motherboard argb header. this will work but as for the reverse fans which you've mentioned on my other content. I have no idea how the reverse fans are connected.
what about the lian li lancool 2 leds?
Hi post-buttwave, pardon me I miss your question, about the Lian Li Lancool 2 leds, are you referring to the argb strips? you connect that to the Strimer plus controller. there is a third socket with is meant for that. you might want to check your strimer plus manual and sorry again to have miss your question.
Hey Kleo,
Can I connect 2 uni fan hub and control it via software?
Hi FTXKSA, pardon me for the late reply and welcome to my channel. For the moment you can't. Lian Li did have the multiple L-Connect application for this but due to issues, they removed it from their website. They will be developing a more stable application. you might want to check out on their official website, under the software download section lian-li.com/product/uni-fan-sl/

So can i swap out the st120 fans on the radiator for AL120s or SL120s for a cleaner daisy chain?
Hello KevTheBlackFox, welcome to my channel, yes you can do that not an issue.
just a tip. if you intend to swap out those radiator fans with the AL or SL fans. let the uni controller controls the argb effect and plug your AL or SL rad fans 4 pin connector directly to the motherboard to CPU_FAN1. as some motherboard have warning detectors when fans that are connected to header CPU_FAN1 or CPU_FAN2/W_Pump. this is to play safe. Hope you understand what I mean.. same goes to your Galahad AIO , let the uni controller controls the lighting effects and the pump header directly to CPU_FAN2/W_Pump header.
@@KleoYan thanks for the info.
