While you only need a single cable coming from the block of three or four fans when they're connected together, it doesn't go directly into your motherboard, it has to plug into the UNI FAN controller first.

Though if you're only opting for a single block of fans those aesthetes may not be so bowled over. Aficionados of the minimalist aesthetic will love that. The controller itself will take four inputs, so you can have up to 16 fans, in four groups, going into the same block.Īnd if you are going for an extreme volume of fans then the UNI FAN SL120 system will make your system super-tidy, reducing the number of wires floating around inside your chassis. You can actually connect up to four of the fans together and they'll only need one wire for the controller. With the three-pack you do get a dedicated fan controller, and the single cable from the grouped fans plugs into that. You then slot in a cable to one end of the group to run all three, or up to four if you buy another single fan.Įxcept that isn't quite how the UNI FAN SL120 system works. The individual fans slot together easily, with pin-to-pin contacts between them to transfer power and lighting data, and that makes for a super snug fit. So is the slick addressable RGB lighting, but that's really only some lovely cosmetic frosting on top of the innovative new fan design. Lian Li's smart daisy-chain setup is robust, simple, and incredibly effective. Okay, there have been small updates to blade design, promising to increase airflow and such, as well as advances in bearing tech-magnetic levitation, FTW-but Lian Li's nifty new tech is the first to be genuinely, and moreover tangibly useful to almost anyone building a DIY gaming PC. Sorry, what? Case fan innovation? Is this some kind of voodoo magic? Aside from fitting some pretty lights around the spinning blades, which help keep our precious PC components chilled, PC manufacturers haven't really done a lot to change the humble case fan.
