The Flat-lay walkthrough was so very clear and helpful. I've been changing my T-30 3x daisy chained AIO fans to share CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT rather than all on CPU_FAN due to learning about, and having significant worries of, overloading the 1 AMP limit on fan headers, since T-30s are well above that under full draw. Then I thought, wait, I have 4 Lian Li fans connected to my hub. Is that in danger? And I wasn't sure how they were powered, as I was pretty sure it was power supply related instead, so safe. Your video here helped me clear that worry up without having to take apart my cables and trace things. And also reminded me of how much of a mess the cables are with hubs lol.

Aquacomputer and its Aquasuite has been the top option for fan controller and software for longest time. They have options like splitty 4 to control corsair argb fans and farbwerk360 for the rest.

I have the older 140mm model, and I just skip using any of the proprietary things and just plug them into the motherboard's argb and let it handle all the RGB. It also uses openRGB when I'm on Linux too. Works well.

@abccbc8335 3 жыл бұрын

The sl hub controller didn’t last very long for some people. The watercoolers endup using the aquacomputer fan controller with rgbx (each rgbx control 3 fans max or 90rgbx). So quadro/octo.

I hope they make one the that lets you set the fan direction so we can show the front part of the fan to any type of air intake. If Lian li does that, they will be the god of fans. they are already the king but way better to have complete control.

@VanguardX 2 жыл бұрын

The problem with this software, which you casually skipped, is that the L-connect module cannot communicate correctly with PWM. Once you set your fans to PWM in the software and hit apply, they all ramp up to 1900 rpm and stay there. This completely defeats the purpose unless you just want to manually change it every time. What I did was connect the PWM wires directly to my chasis fan headers and kept L-connect 2 just for aRGB control.

They came up with sl and it was amazing, but al? The least they could have done is to make the edge lighting more pronounced like the sl.

@ElectricDreams10 2 жыл бұрын

Next version mate. Remember, it’s about getting the the consumer to “upgrade” to the next model as often as possible. We the consumers are drip fed the new features - in this case first the nice edge lights, then the blade lights but with a different edge light to still differentiate them (arguably, and up to a point) from the competitors, then eventually combine SL and AL main features in a later product so that (hopefully for them) we follow this plan and buy every damn thing they produce. Apple are masters of doing this well but most innovative companies engage in it. When done well people are so excited by the product that they don’t even see or even care that it’s happening - effectively making them themselves the product.

However seeing Lian Li fans and comparing them to Corsair & how to set them up. It's definitely a hard pass on corsair, i do not own any other corsair devices anyway so yeah Lian Li is the easiest to setup and also not such a cable mess. Thanks for the indepth guide ;-)
