LIAN LI Launches New Fan Interlocking System with the UNI FAN SL120

LIAN LI Launches New Fan Interlocking System with the UNI FAN SL120

LIAN LI, a leading manufacturer of aluminum chassis and PC accessories, announces the UNI FAN SL120, an innovative approach to reducing cables by interlocking and daisy-chaining the fans. 

Designed as 120mm high static pressure PWM fans with addressable RGB LEDs, the UNI FAN SL120 has a newly patented quick-connect daisy-chaining style system that simplifies cable management and mounting efforts. With up to 16 fans (4 sets of 4) under one fan controller, users can easily create an adapted profile to match their fan speed and synchronized lighting effect needs via the highly intuitive L-Connect software. Available in black or white, the UNI FAN SL120 offers a new premium look with lighting effects that do not compromise on performance.

L-Connect

Focused on giving users more control over fan functionality, the clean and intuitive interface of the L-Connect software provides instant speed and RGB light management for individual fans or simultaneous control over all 4 clusters of fans. With 5 fan speed profiles, 14 lighting effects, and control over each effect’s color, brightness, direction, and speed, L-Connect allows full customization of the look and feel of the system. Alternatively, users can choose to sync with the motherboard software via the simple toggle of a switch.

Interconnect to Simplify

Say goodbye to cable clutter and time wasted tightening screws with the new interlocking mechanism of the UNI FAN SL120. Designed to slide and lock, the interlocking mechanism and quick-connect PINs ensure that structural rigidity and power is sustained along the cluster of fans. With its modular approach, power to the fan blades and LEDs is provided by an easy sliding connector, meaning only two cables are necessary to power up to 4 fans. Connected to a hub that can host up to 4 clusters, this means up to 16 fans require only 8 cables, compared to 32 with traditional fans, making cable management a breeze. And since the cluster acts as one, the sturdiness means fewer screws are required to mount the fans securely to the system, saving precious time and avoiding awkward screwing positions during the installation process.

Made to Last and Made with Style

Each PWM high static pressure UNI FAN SL120 offers great performance with speeds ranging between 800 to 1900 rpm at low noise levels thanks to the fluid dynamic bearing technology which provides a thin layer of fluid to support the load of the fan blades. In addition, each fan features a magnet centered at the back to reduce vibrations and noise while in operation. While providing sufficient airflow, the 32 addressable LEDs in each fan provide a smooth customizable lighting effect that shines through the diffuser on each side of the fan, bringing a unique style to PC builds.

Combining style, performance, and creativity, the white and the black UNI FAN SL120 are available for pre-order starting August 19th, 2020, at an MSRP of $79.99 USD for a pack of 3 (fan controller included), and $24.99 USD for the single pack (controller not included). It must be noted that the controller included in the pack of 3 is required to operate the UNI FAN SL120.

I dont trust this kind of magnetic mechanical connection.
give me a wrapped around spring clip over a steal pin any day.
These remind me of the palettegear magnet loaded spring contact switches and sliders.
But these have moving parts that can generate vibrations.
What if the pc case takes a bump and dislodges one,
Not sure if its a bad idea will wait for review.

@Martin5000
so you dont put screws on your fans?
the connection between the fans is for relaying power/pwm, nothing else.

Yeah these look like a great replacement for my Varder Fans although I'm hoping EK might release something similar but will definitely be purchasing 6 of these for my push pull config :cool:

A little steep tho, £25 per fan, £74.99 for a pack of three, I guess it's alright if they include the controller.

Why do you have 13 fans?????

For good luck! :D

I have 3 360 rads with one of them in push/pull and one lonely fan as case exhaust in the back.

Has anyone used Lian Li fans?
All their fans -not only these, but previous models, too- do look very nice, but I wonder if their performance is decent.
