Enter the LIAN LI UNI FAN CL Wireless 120 Black, a revolutionary cooling solution designed to eliminate cable clutter and elevate your PC’s aesthetics and performance to a new level.²

This comprehensive product description will delve into the technical prowess and tangible benefits of the LIAN LI UNI FAN CL Wireless 120, a fan that redefines what a PC cooling solution can be. We’ll explore its innovative wireless control, advanced cooling capabilities, stunning dual-zone ARGB lighting, and the thoughtful design features that make it an indispensable component for any modern PC build.

The Evolution of PC Cooling: A Wireless Revolution

Lian Li has been a trailblazer in PC components, and the UNI FAN series has consistently set the standard for ease of installation and aesthetics. The LIAN LI UNI FAN CL Wireless 120 represents the next leap forward. It takes the acclaimed daisy-chaining system of its predecessors and pairs it with a powerful, dedicated wireless controller.³ This isn’t just a fan; it’s a complete ecosystem that simplifies your build, reduces visual clutter, and gives you unprecedented control.

The core of this wireless revolution is the included L-Wireless Sync Controller.⁴ This compact device, included with the multi-pack and available separately, acts as the central hub for all your wireless Lian Li products. It communicates with the fans via a stable 2.4 GHz signal, allowing you to manage fan speed and ARGB lighting effects for up to 10 device groups simultaneously.⁵ This means you can control not only your LIAN LI UNI FAN CL Wireless 120 fans but also compatible Lian Li AIOs and Strimmer cables from a single, intuitive interface.⁶

The benefits of this wireless ecosystem are immediately apparent. Say goodbye to the days of a crowded case interior filled with tangled fan cables. The UNI FAN’s interlocking system allows you to connect a cluster of up to four fans with a single, short cable that connects to the L-Wireless Sync Controller.⁷ This minimalist approach drastically reduces the time and effort required for installation, while creating a clean, professional aesthetic that was once only achievable by professional modders.⁸ The controller itself is a marvel of engineering, supporting seamless synchronization of lighting effects across all connected devices, ensuring your entire build is a cohesive and visually stunning masterpiece.⁹

Technical Prowess: Performance Meets Quiet Efficiency

The LIAN LI UNI FAN CL Wireless 120 is more than just a pretty face. Beneath its sleek black exterior lies a powerhouse of cooling technology designed to deliver exceptional performance while maintaining whisper-quiet operation.

Key Technical Specifications:

• Fan Dimensions: ¹⁰$120\times 120\times 28\text{ mm}$

   

• Bearing Type: Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB)¹¹

   

• Fan Speed: ¹²$250-2150\text{ RPM}$

   

• Maximum Air Pressure: ¹³2.52 mmH2​O

   

• Maximum Airflow: ¹⁴$77.34\text{ CFM}$

   

• Acoustic Noise: ¹⁵$29.8\text{ dBA}$ (maximum)¹⁶

   

• Control Method: PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)¹⁷

   

• Rated Voltage: ¹⁸$12\text{V DC}$ (fan) & ¹⁹$5\text{V DC}$ (LED)²⁰

   

The fan’s 28mm thickness is a deliberate design choice. It’s slightly thicker than standard 120mm fans, a feature that contributes to its superior cooling capabilities by allowing for a larger fan blade and an optimized aerodynamic profile. This results in a higher maximum airflow and static pressure, making the fan equally effective for both case ventilation and for pushing air through the dense fins of a radiator.

The Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) is a critical component of the fan’s performance and longevity.²¹ FDB technology uses a layer of oil to separate the fan shaft from the bearing, which minimizes friction and wear.²² This not only results in significantly lower noise levels compared to traditional sleeve or ball bearings but also extends the fan’s lifespan considerably. The FDB ensures that your fans will operate quietly and reliably for thousands of hours, a valuable investment for any PC builder.

The PWM control allows for precise and dynamic management of fan speed. The fans can be controlled through the L-Connect 3 software, or directly by your motherboard’s BIOS, allowing for a custom fan curve that adjusts based on your system’s temperature. This means your fans will only spin as fast as they need to, reducing noise during low-load tasks and ramping up to maximum performance when you’re gaming or running intensive applications.

For builds that require a specific airflow direction, Lian Li offers both standard and reverse blade options.²³ This versatility is crucial for maintaining optimal air pressure within your case while still showcasing the stunning RGB lighting. A standard blade fan is designed to push air from the front, while a reverse blade fan pulls air from the front, allowing for aesthetically pleasing intake fan configurations without having to sacrifice the visual appeal of the fan’s front face.

Aesthetic Excellence: A Symphony of Light and Design

The visual appeal of a PC is often as important as its performance, and the LIAN LI UNI FAN CL Wireless 120 Black excels in this department. Its sophisticated design is an aesthetic triumph, combining clean lines, premium materials, and a vibrant lighting system that will make your build stand out.

The fan features individually controllable dual lighting zones.²⁴ This means you can create two distinct lighting effects—one on the fan blades and another on the diffused side strips.²⁵ The possibilities for customization are virtually endless. Through the L-Connect 3 software, you can choose from a vast array of presets, including a mesmerizing “Flow-Through” animation that seamlessly connects the lighting effects of multiple fans in a cluster. The lighting is rich, vibrant, and beautifully diffused, ensuring that your RGB is a highlight of your build, not a harsh distraction.

The fans are constructed from a combination of high-quality PBT, PC, and aluminum, giving them a premium feel and exceptional durability.²⁶ The black frame and rotor provide a sleek, stealthy look that will complement any build, while the subtle aluminum nameplate adds a touch of class. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the fan’s design, from the refined anti-vibration pads to the unique interlocking keys that make installation a breeze.²⁷
