LIAN LI UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless 120 Forward Fan, Reverse Blade Reverse Fan Unboxing

This is an unboxing of three SKUs of the UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless (UNI FAN SL-INFINITY Wireless) series of fans, including the UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless 120 Forward Blade Single Pack, UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless 120 Reverse Blade Single Pack, and the UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless 120 Reverse Blade Triple Pack. UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless 120 Forward Blade Single Pack, UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless 120 Reverse Blade Single Pack, and UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless 120 Reverse Blade Triple Pack. This UNI FAN SL-INFINITY Wireless fan is only available in the 120 mm size and is available in black/white, forward fan/reverse fan, and single pack/triple pack options.

The difference between the forward fan and the reverse fan of the UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless 120 is not only in the direction of air intake, but also in the maximum fan speed, fan volume, fan pressure, sound noise and other cooling specifications.

First unboxing LIAN LI UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless 120 Reverse Blade Reverse Blade is also commonly known as the reverse fan version, a single package of the black 12RSLIN1W1B and white 12RSLIN1W1W is mainly used for expansion purposes, mostly for the rear of the chassis with only one or two fan mounting positions fan installation use, so the single-package version will not have a 2.4 GHz wireless controller. Most of them are used for fan installation at the rear of the chassis with only one or two fan mounting positions, so the single-package version will not have a 2.4 GHz wireless controller.

The single-package version of the UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless 120 Reverse Blade is supplied with only: short screws, control receiver and power supply cables, light bar protector on the side of the fan, and metal pin protectors.

LIAN LI UNI FAN WIRELESS wireless fan series of "wireless concept", in fact, the fan body and the controller between the lighting effects of the control information transmission connection to the wireless, not really completely wireless without the need for controllers or fan power supply, etc., or to the fan body of the L-Wireless receiver cable and connect the motherboard PWM slots to complete the power supply. It is still necessary to connect the L-Wireless receiver cable on the fan body to the PWM slot on the motherboard to complete the power supply, and it is important to pay attention to the use of the original manufacturer's recommendation to connect more than two fans in series to connect both 4-Pin to the motherboard slot for power supply, or with a three-pack of SATA auxiliary power cables to connect the two 4-Pin for power supply use.

△ Fan receiver and power supply cable.

△ There are two connectors for power supply, if you want to set the fan speed through BIOS or motherboard software, you must connect the full 4-Pin (the one on the left side of the screen) to the motherboard slot in order to detect the speed, and the power supply connector on the right side is only 2-Pin for auxiliary power supply purpose.

△ For the fan installation display, install the wires on the side where the clips are located.

 

The 12RSLIN1W3B and 12RSLIN1W3W in the 3-pack version come with a controller PWM & USB 2.0 adapter cable, L-WIRELESS synchronization controller, SATA to 3 PWM auxiliary cables, and the rest of the accessories and fan specifications are the same as the single-pack.

The UNI FAN SL-INFINITY Wireless 120 Reverse Fan Triple Pack version, which also comes with a 3-year warranty, is available in the 12RSLIN1W3B and 12RSLIN1W3W models.

△ Schematic diagram and specifications of the contents of a three-pack.

△ Fan size specification.

△ Three packs of extra small accessories contents: controller PWM & USB 2.0 adapter cable, L-WIRELESS synchronization controller, three sets of short screws, L-Wireless receiver cable.

 

When purchasing a device, be sure to note that if you want to use LIAN LI Wireless series products (e.g. SL-INF Wireless, HydroShift II AIO, Strimer Wireless, etc.), you must have an L-WIRELESS synchronization controller to use with them. A single L-WIRELESS Synchronization Controller can support up to 10 channels of LIAN LI devices or six different products connected via 2.4 GHz wireless.

There are two ways for users to connect the wireless controller, the first is to install the L-WIRELESS Sync Controller, which looks like a UFD flash drive, directly onto the USB Type-A slot on the back of the motherboard or the front of the case.

The second type is to install the controller PWM & USB 2.0 adapter cable on the end of the L-WIRELESS Synchronous Controller, and then connect the PWM and USB connectors of the controller PWM & USB 2.0 adapter cable to the motherboard, so that the L-WIRELESS Synchronous Controller doesn't need to take up the external USB slots, but it will take up one of each of the PWM and USB 2.0 slots on the motherboard. USB 2.0 slots on the motherboard.

Just choose one of the two connection methods. The author recommends the first method, which takes up less slots and does not require a full cable, but we have heard from users that when the first method is installed at the back of the motherboard, the controller overheats due to heat exhaustion at the back, resulting in problems with the use of the control.

△ 2.4 GHz wireless connected L-WIRELESS synchronization controller.

△ The second way is to connect the cable to the end of the L-WIRELESS Synchronization Controller and install it to the internal slot of the motherboard.

△ SATA to three PWM auxiliary power supply cables, note that these cables are for auxiliary power supply only.

 

The forward bladed LIAN LI UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless 120 fans come in a single package (12SLIN1W1B, 12SLIN1W1W) with the same contents as the Reverse Blade version, but with different cooling specifications for the fans themselves.

The LIAN LI UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless 120 forward fan measures 120 x 122.1 x 28 mm, with a maximum speed of 2300 RPM, a maximum airflow of 67 CFM, and a maximum air pressure of 3.4 mmH₂O.

Fan Cooling Test

Then we will test LIAN LI UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless 120 Forward Fan and UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless 120 Reverse Blade to see how well the chassis intake and exhaust fans dissipate the heat. However, since the processor of my workstation is open-covered and touching directly with liquid metal, and there is a PBO overclocking setting that can be manually enabled, it is recommended that you refer to the graphic card temperature for reference. However, since the processor of my workstation is an open-cover direct touch with liquid metal, and has a manual PBO overclocking setting, it is recommended that you refer to the temperature of the graphics card for more reference.

Conclusion

This installation unboxing of the LIAN LI UNI FAN SL-INF Wireless 120 series fans, with conventional forward fan blade fan and Reverse Blade reverse fan blade fan single package and three packages for everyone's reference, if you want to match more than one for installation in accordance with the original recommendations need to be connected to the fan's two PWM connector, to ensure that the fan power supply source is sufficient and normal, in addition to matching the three packages of accessories in the SATA to three PWM auxiliary power supply cable, the author would be more recommended to match the fan with a sufficient and normal. Normal, in addition to the SATA to three PWM auxiliary power supply cables in the three-pack, the author would recommend matching with the lian li edge gold 1200 The EDGE GOLD comes with a number of PWM expansion slots that are ideal for use, and of course it can also be used with a chassis or an additional fan hub.

LIAN LI Wireless series products are all setup with the same 2.4 GHz L-WIRELESS Sync Controller, which is much more convenient for gamers who are used to using LIAN LI's full range of buckets. The author would recommend connecting the controller directly to the external expansion Type-A port, so as to allow the slot inside the motherboard to be expanded with more devices for better efficiency. However, it is important to note that the synchronization controller will not overheat, especially if it is placed at the back of the chassis.
