LIAN LI Industrial Co. Ltd., a leading manufacturer of chassis and PC accessories, debuts the UNI FAN SL Wireless, and STRIMER Wireless, its latest innovation in ARGB lighting technology. Offering next-gen 2.4 GHz wireless control for both products, the UNI FAN SL Wireless and STRIMER Wireless significantly reduce cable clutter.

UNI FAN SL Wireless and SL Wireless LCD
The UNI FAN SL Wireless lighting effects, and fan speeds are controlled via the 2.4 GHz L-Wireless SYNC Controller and L-Connect 3 software. Both fans received an enhanced ARGB design update, with dual lighting zones on each side for dynamic lighting effects. They also use Fluid Dynamic Bearings for quiet operation and high-performance cooling, up to 2000 RPM for the SL Wireless and 1900 RPM for the SL Wireless LCD. The SL Wireless LCD features a 1.6" LCD display with a resolution of 400×400, supporting MP4, GIF, JPG, and PNG format, with full customization in L-Connect 3 software. The controller supports groups of up to 4 SL Wireless, mix and match with 2 SL Wireless LCDs and 2 SL Wireless, or up to 3 SL Wireless LCDs. Each fan group requires a clip-integrated receiver powered by a PWM header (the LCD version requires an additional USB header cable).

[Editor's note: Our in-depth review of the Lian Li UNI FAN SL 120 Wireless is now live]



STRIMER Wireless
The new STRIMER Wireless series are highly customizable ARGB extension cables now using 2.4 GHz wireless control, powered directly from the extension cable, and eliminating wiring running to and from a controller hub. Up to 3 STRIMER Wireless can be managed by one L-Wireless SYNC controller together with UNI FAN SL Wireless LCD and SL Wireless fan groups. The redesigned light guides remove dead zones, wrapping around the extension cables with the diffusing strips reaching the sides. The motherboard 24-pin lighting guides now pop directly out of the motherboard, achieved by shortening the connector and relocating the on-cable power connection to the other end.

For GPU STRIMERs, the lighting guides are now a single solid piece to ensure proper alignment, and the connector can be reversed for above-GPU orientation, or for flipped connectors such as ROG's GPUs, which are inverted. The 90 Degree 12V-2x6 GPU Connector fits horizontally installed GPUs better in narrow cases, and comes with a swappable white connector shroud. The GPU STRIMERs keep previous improvements with the stronger and more durable color-coded connector, the robust 16 AWG wiring for up to 600 W, and an integrated press tab to help the release latch. The first-ever CPU 2x8pin STRIMER Wireless also adds another option to elevate users' build aesthetics.

L-Wireless SYNC Controller
The L-Wireless SYNC Controller is a USB dongle that can plug into the motherboard's rear I/O USB port, or be internally wired to a USB 2.0 header and PWM header. One L-Wireless SYNC Controller can control up to 10 groups, comprised of UNI FAN SL Wireless LCD and UNI FAN SL Wireless fan groups and up to 3 STRIMER Wireless. L-Connect 3 software provides full customization of SL Wireless LCD displays, ARGB lighting zones, fan speed profiles, and STRIMER Wireless ARGB lighting effects.

The UNI FAN SL Wireless, STRIMER Wireless, and L-Wireless SYNC Controller are available for pre-order starting October 18th, 2024. The STRIMER Wireless CPU 2x8pin can be pre-ordered starting November 7th, 2024.

I don't get why they don't go with Bluetooth instead since a lot of motherboards these days already include it. Having said that it's nice to see a vendor trying new things.

Come on Lian Li! It took you a couple revisions to make the connectors white on the old strimers. So what do you do? You put black connectors on white strimer?!? Come On!

Because of something called interference? USB 3.0 eats Bluetooth for breakfast when it comes to interference. Got one cable with so-so shielding and that Bluetooth signal is no longer going anywhere, as soon as you're doing any kind of data transmission at 5 Gbps speeds.

Oh I forgot about that. Thanks!

Unfortunately, it's a real world issue for things like this, even if Bluetooth is almost free today, it's also quite sensitive to interference and although I haven't tested it inside a case, I would imagine the motherboard traces for the USB 3.0 would be enough to cause problems. I know for a fact that if you have a "leaky" cable, it kills low power transmitters like Bluetooth, Zigbee and what not. It was something I ended up having first hand experience with when I worked at a router manufacturer and was doing some data transfer tests with a WD drive and all of a sudden, I couldn't control the Zigbee devices I had connected to the router, as it was also a home automation hub. Swapping to a different cable helped, but didn't solve the problem entirely. Bluetooth is a little bit better when it comes to interference, but I have a feeling that inside a PC case, it won't matter much.
