which are fully customizable in L-Connect 3. The SL INFINITY 120 has an improved connecting mechanism with removable interlocking keys and a multidirectional power module cable. The SL INFINITY 120 delivers a maximum of 61.3 CFM of airflow, 2.66 mm H2O of air pressure, and a noise level of up to 29 dBA while running at 2100 RPM, or be completely quiet at 0 RPM with the new Start/Stop function in L-Connect 3.

The SL INFINITY 120 features 40 LEDs which are evenly distributed to provide continuous lighting diffused at the fan blades and around the LIAN LI medallion at the back. Thin strips of lighting are built into the frame around the fan opening, both front and back. At the front and center of the frame, the fan shaft provides lighting to the first infinity mirror of the fan which has been carefully designed to create a deep and clean infinity effect with 0.5 mm between each layer of light. The second infinity mirror is surrounded by aluminium trim and is located on both sides of the frame. The geometric shape of the infinity mirror follows the front ARGB lighting strip in a top and bottom pattern that creates a 3D indented look. Via L-Connect 3, users can decide between preset light effects or combine center and side effects for a customized look.



[editor's note: catch our review of the Lian Li UNI FAN SL INFINITY 120.]

Improved UNI FAN Concept
With the SL INFINITY 120, LIAN Li makes improvements with removable interlocking keys on the side of the fan for better clearance with radiator fittings. The power module is now centered on the fan frame and has been revised to allow the cable to be flipped 180 degrees, to always be oriented towards the rear of the case. Lastly, the ARGB and PWM cables that connect to the UNI HUB controller have been combined into a single one, clearing cable clutter even further.

Better Performance
The SL INFINITY 120 features a 10% performance improvement compared to the SL120 which results in better airflow (61.3 CFM), higher static pressure (2.66 mmH2O), and a wider range of fan speed (0 ~ 2100RPM) at lower noise levels (29 dBA). First time introduced in the UNI FAN line-up, the SL INFINITY 120 can be stopped completely for the ultimate silent build. This feature is supported by L-Connect's redesigned fan curve interface via the Start/ Stop mode which allows RPM to be set to 0 when the CPU or GPU is running below 50°C.

The black/white UNI FAN SL INFINITY 120 is available for pre-order starting June 17th, at an MSRP of $99.99 (USA)/$94.99 (global) for 3 fans with controller bundle pack, and $29.99 (USA and global) for the single fan pack (controller not included).

I think those were the only 2 complaints I had left about the UNI fans. Too bad I already have their first gen ones and no need to swap them out.

I had AL fans and thought the actual fans where great.
The software and controller's where for me terrible.
In the 6 month's I had them it was nothing but trouble and the final straw was the controller's bricking.
I used 9 fans so had 2 spare controller's that bricked also.

If they used generic ARGB plugs it wouldn't have been a issue I could have bought a controller easily (only controller you can buy from Lian li is the SL), instead you have to buy there cable kit that comes with only 2 cables that you could plug 2 fans into each but I needed per fan control so I wasn't about to buy 5 cable kits.

Companies need to stop with the proprietary connections and use generic IMO.

Be nice to see more interlocking fans on the market, although i bet it be some time before there is 140x38mm ones.

My fans can be 100% silent too when off.

The proprietary connections are one of the major selling points for these RGB fans. If I were using standard cables in my rig I'd have 20 wires I'd have to deal with rather than 6. Plus there is little need for the controllers lian li sells very inexpensive cables that connect the fans to the motherboard and I use Armoury crate to control my fans. It doesn't have all the fancy lighting options but I'd never use those anyway I stick with a static color usually.

Not bad. I have the first gen of sl fans. Only complaint so far, they are a bit more noisy than I expected af full rpm and they are expensive. But else no problems pr complaint. RGB works and fans spins silently at lower rpm.

These new fans looks nice throw. But I am not replacing my current fans, well yeah it cost a lot to replace.

Indeed if you just want one colour or a generic pattern that way works. For anything else you'll need the cable kits.

The cable management side is definitely a bonus but would I base my purchase on that no, my case has plenty of cable room and I found it easy routing my Be Quiet Lightwings.

These things look flipping amazing, too bad the price is probably obnoxiously high and not supported by any third party programs.
