Lian Li 120mm UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless,Black

Masterpiece of Airflow and Aesthetics: The Lian Li 120mm UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless, Black

In the world of custom PC building, the pursuit of a clean, minimalist aesthetic has long been at odds with the functional necessity of efficient cooling. The tangled web of cables required for PWM fan speed control and addressable RGB lighting often makes a tidy build a frustrating and time-consuming endeavor. With the Lian Li 120mm UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless, Black, Lian Li has once again redefined the standards of PC cooling, offering a revolutionary solution that combines exceptional performance with an unparalleled, cable-free visual experience.¹

This comprehensive product description will take a deep dive into the features, technical details, and benefits that make the Lian Li 120mm UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless the ultimate choice for enthusiasts who demand perfection. We’ll explore how its innovative wireless technology and signature infinity mirror design converge to create a product that is as powerful as it is breathtakingly beautiful.

The Problem of Clutter and the Wireless Solution

Traditional PC fans require two separate cables: a 4-pin PWM cable for fan speed control and a 3-pin ARGB cable for lighting.² When building a system with multiple fans, this can quickly lead to a frustrating mess of cables that not only looks unsightly but can also impede airflow. Lian Li’s original UNI FAN series introduced a brilliant solution with its daisy-chaining pin system, which allowed multiple fans to be connected with a single, unified cable.³

The Lian Li 120mm UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless takes this innovation to the next level. It eliminates the need for any internal cables connecting directly to the fans. Instead, the fan clusters communicate wirelessly with a sleek, compact controller via a 2.4 GHz signal.⁴ This groundbreaking approach dramatically simplifies the build process, reduces visual clutter to an absolute minimum, and allows for a truly clean, professional-looking interior.⁵ The wireless controller, included in the 3-pack, connects to the motherboard via a single USB header and PWM cable, providing centralized control for up to 10 fan groups or other compatible Lian Li wireless devices.⁶

A Symphony of Light: The Asymmetrical Infinity Mirror

The visual centerpiece of the Lian Li 120mm UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless is its mesmerizing infinity mirror design.⁷ Lian Li has taken the best elements of its previous fan models—the UNI FAN SL and AL series—and combined them with a multi-layered infinity mirror effect that is visible from every angle.⁸

Key Aesthetic Features:

• Asymmetrical Infinity Mirrors: The fan features a dual-style edge, with a tapered design on one side and a dual-rectangle design on the other.⁹ This unique, asymmetrical design gives you the freedom to flip the fan to achieve the perfect look for your build.

   

• Three Independent Lighting Zones: Each fan is equipped with 58 addressable LEDs, which are divided into three distinct lighting zones.¹⁰ The first zone is on the fan blades and the central hub’s infinity mirror.¹¹ The second zone consists of the diffusers that wrap around the frame, and the third zone is the inner edge of the side infinity mirrors. This multi-zone control allows for an incredible level of customization through the L-Connect 3 software, empowering you to create complex and layered lighting effects.¹²

   

• Multi-Layered Infinity Effect: The infinity mirror at the center of the fan is carefully spaced with 0.5mm gaps between each layer.¹³ This creates a clear, multi-layer effect that appears to go on forever, adding an extraordinary sense of depth to your PC’s lighting.

   

• Premium Aluminum Accents: The fan is surrounded by premium aluminum trims on both sides of the frame.¹⁴ This not only adds to the luxurious feel of the product but also reflects the ARGB lighting, enhancing the overall visual impact.

   

Technical Prowess: Performance Without Compromise

Beyond its stunning looks, the Lian Li 120mm UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless is a high-performance cooling solution built to keep your components running at optimal temperatures.¹⁵

Key Technical Specifications:

• Fan Dimensions: ¹⁶$120\times 122.1\times 28\text{ mm}$

   

• Material: PBT / PC / Aluminum¹⁷

   

• Fan Speed: ¹⁸$0,200\sim 2300\text{ RPM}$

   

• Maximum Airflow: ¹⁹$67\text{ CFM}$

   

• Maximum Air Pressure: 3.4 mmH2​O
• Acoustic Noise: ²⁰$29.2\text{ dB(A)}$

   

• Bearing Type: Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB)²¹

   

• Rated Voltage: DC 12V (FAN) & 5V (LED)²²

   

• Warranty: 3-Year²³

   

The slightly thicker 28mm frame, compared to standard 25mm fans, allows for an optimized fan blade design that generates a high static pressure of ²⁴3.4 mmH2​O and an impressive airflow of ²⁵$67\text{ CFM}$.²⁶ This makes it an ideal choice for both case ventilation and for pushing air through restrictive radiators and dense front panels.²⁷ The fan’s powerful motor is capable of spinning at up to 2300 RPM, providing maximum cooling performance when needed.²⁸

The Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) is a cornerstone of the fan’s durability and low-noise operation.²⁹ It minimizes friction between the fan shaft and the bearing, which not only extends the fan’s lifespan but also keeps the acoustic noise level at a whisper-quiet ³⁰$29.2\text{ dBA}$ even at maximum speed.³¹

A Seamless Ecosystem with L-Connect 3

The true power of the Lian Li 120mm UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless is unlocked through the L-Connect 3 software.³² This intuitive and powerful control center provides a unified platform to manage every aspect of your fans and lighting.³³

L-Connect 3 Features:

• Effortless Wireless Control: The software allows you to control fan speeds and lighting effects for up to 10 device groups wirelessly.³⁴ With a simple “link” button in the software, you can easily bind a fan cluster to the controller, making setup a breeze.

   

• Start/Stop Fan Functionality: L-Connect 3 offers a powerful Start/Stop mode that allows your fans to completely stop spinning when the CPU or GPU temperatures are below a certain threshold.³⁵ This provides a truly silent computing experience during light workloads.

   

• Advanced Lighting Customization: With three independent lighting zones per fan, the software provides an extensive array of pre-set effects and granular controls to customize colors, brightness, and direction.³⁶ You can create complex and unique lighting profiles that are perfectly synchronized across your entire build.

   

• Ecosystem Integration: The L-Connect 3 software can also wirelessly sync the lighting of your fans with other compatible Lian Li wireless products, such as their HydroShift II AIOs and Strimer Wireless cables, creating a truly cohesive and dynamic aesthetic.³⁷
