Premium fans. One cable per 3 fans, esthetically top tier.
Lian Li delivers, as expected. This review is for the 140mm SL INF fans. I replaced my 120mm bottom fans for these, and they move A LOT more air, while staying much quieter. Lian Li fans can become confusing, with TL, SL, and INF variations. If you want the blades, sides, and facing of the fan to illuminate, then you want SL fans. TL fans don't have any RGB in the blades, only the sides and front. INF means "infinity", which means the middle hub of the fan has an "infinity mirror" instead of a generic Lian Li logo. So beware when purchasing, on just which fans you are buying. You absolutely can mix and match them, but please note that ANY single fan purchased will NOT come with the 2.4ghz USB Dongle, which is required for lighting functionality. This USB dongle comes in 3 packs ONLY, or seperately purchased alone. These fans will always be my go to, you can link 4 fans together and there will only be a single cable. This makes cable management extremely simple. I bought 3 seperate 140mm fans, so I did get not the USB dongle, or the sata power cable. I would not recommend plugging in 3 or 4 of these into one header. Either use the sata adapter that comes in the 3 pack for supplemental power, or plug the PWM connector into a powered hub. This would be to air on the side of caution, as to not fry your motherboard. Quality, fantastic - premium and heavy feel. Lian Li also covers the screw holes with rubber triangle covers to keep the seemless look. You can also switch orientation of the cord direction on the PWM connector on the fan. L Connect is very straight forward and of course the lighting effects are top tier. These mount just like any other fan, and with the provided screw hole covers, you will see no screws on the inside of your case. Cons - I wish the 140mm fans came in 3 packs. There is a demand from a lot of builders and cases for 140mm in lieu of 120mm fans. You also don't get the controller/USB dongle buying them individually.
