Lian Li Redefines the Art of Cooling with the UNI FAN TL LCD and UNI FAN TL
LIAN LI Industrial Co. Ltd., a leading manufacturer of chassis and PC accessories, launched a new series of interlocking fans with the UNI FAN TL LCD and UNI FAN TL. The UNI FAN TL LCD includes a built-in 1.6" LCD display with 400x400 pixel resolution, which is fully customizable via L-Connect. Users can customize their LCD display with format support of GIF, MP4, JPG and PNG files, or opt to display various system sensor information like CPU speed or temperature. The UNI FAN TL offers a noise and performance-optimized fan experience with LCP blades and FDB bearing with copper shielding. Both models feature a revamped lighting style with 2 LED zones implemented in a diffused RGB strip at the top and bottom of the frame that wraps around the mounting points of the fans. Both models are available in black and white, in sizes of 120 mm and 140 mm, and in regular and reverse airflow designs.
The UNI FAN TL LCD integrates a 1.6" LCD IPS screen at the center of the fan. The screen has 400 x 400 resolution and can display system information, including CPU temperature, CPU load, GPU temperature, GPU load, and fan speed. This screen supports GIF, MP4, JPG, and PNG file formats for fun customization for the LCD display, individually or synchronized across multiple fans with the L-Connect software. The UNI FAN TL LCD controller accommodates up to 7 LCD fans simultaneously, with each port supporting up to 3 UNI FAN TL LCD fans. Users have the flexibility to mix groups of TL and TL LCD fans, achieving a harmonious blend of performance and aesthetic customization.
UNI FAN TL
The UNI FAN TL features a 9-blade configuration crafted from durable Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), ensuring the blades maintain their shape at high speeds. This design allows the fan blades to be closer to the fan frame, measuring 0.65 mm for the TL 120 and 1.0 mm for the TL 140. With an overall frame thickness of 28 mm, this configuration enhances the blade surface area, leading to improved performance. Additionally, the UNI FAN TL uses Fluid Dynamic bearings (FDB) for the fan motor, promoting quieter and smoother operation. The combination of a thicker fan frame, robust LCP blade material, and FDB contributes to outstanding performance and reduced noise levels.
Infinity RGB Customization
The UNI FAN TL and TL LCD boast large infinity mirrors on both frame sides, accompanied by a diffused RGB strip along the anti-vibration pads' edges. This lighting style creates a seamless effect in connected clusters. The top and bottom LEDs are divided into two zones, individually controllable via L-Connect. Utilizing the interlocking mechanism from the original UNI FANs, users can form fan clusters powered by a single cable (up to 10 fans on a single port for the UNI FAN TL or up to 3 UNI FAN TL LCDs per port). With an individual IC built into each fan, the L-Connect automatically detects each fan for effortless management, optimizing system airflow while intelligently identifying fan size and location within each group.
The UNI FAN TL series is available for pre-order starting December 20th, 2023.

I gotta tip my cap to the PR & Marketing teams here.
Haven't seen a double entendre that bold since Sleepy's said to trust them for the rest of my life.
I guess it's obvious they would need a controller for the LCD.
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
It's just another device that moves air to increase cooling efficiency, it's up to every consumer to decide what they want it to look like and how many dinero's they want to spend on it.
Considering the reputation of this manufacterer/brand, this product will probably finds it's place somewhere in the premium league of fans as another new option.
I would rather see some 'out of the box' thinking of these R&D departments with a whole new concept/technique of how to move air through a pc-case, coolers, rads etc., which leans more to for example passive cooling.
Wether with axial and/or radial fans and preferably not visible, like some sort of ventilator box (as integrated part of the pc-case) and ducting with emphasis on aestatics, silence and efficiency. Possibillities are unlimited.
I'm sure there are engineers out there who can calculate how much volume of air with a given temperature is needed to effectivly remove generated heat in a confined space (read pc-case) with different power scenario's. Unfortunately my physics & mathematic skills lack severly on this topic, as it would be a nice project to focus on.
There are soo many variables to consider, I'm sure it would drive me nuts, even more crazy then I am already :roll::kookoo:.
Hopefully I inspired some modding tech whizzkid here :D, it can of course also be a process of trail and error but fun.
