AC Infinity CLOUDLINE T6, Quiet Inline Duct Fan System with Temperature and Humidity Controller, 6-Inch

Product Information

Although the fan blade size did not give us the impression that we were looking at high-performance fans, it turned out that Lian Li's Uni SL-Infinity fans are in fact the best-performing fans out there. With excellent max performance and the very best noise-to-performance ratio, they managed to outperform Noctua's NF-A12x25. Therefore, making them the new Best-in-Class 120mm Case fans. I do it this way so I can forget the L-Connect software (once I set it to "motherboard control for the lighting). The single fan port on the Commander Pro controls all fans via the Lampton controller and a Lighting Channel port on the Commander Pro controls the fan RGB. We benchmarked Lian Li's Uni SL-Infinity Fans using our usual setup. Whilst letting them spin at max speed, they managed to keep the CPU at 40.1°C. This places them just a single degree behind the be quiet Silent Wings Pro 4 120 and Noctua's NF-A12x25. An excellent result thus far. There are no extension cables being used inside or outside of the computer chassis other than a surge protector.

Please also keep in mind that due to the Fans having multiple different ARGB strips, mirrors, and illumination sources, the only way of properly controlling each of them individually will be by using Lian Li's software. You can use your motherboard software, but getting different colors onto different portions of the fan will require an immense amount of trial and error. Please note that in the case of a daisy-chained Fan wall, we are left with the first and last fans still having the hooks present on the outstanding sides. This may lead to issues for radiator installations, or you might just not like it. In these cases, you are free to twist them and remove them creating the clearance needed. If they are needed at a later point, you are always free to re-position them by pressing them in and twisting them the other way. Once every fan is connected and the PC is running, we can install Lian Li's L-Connect 3 Controller Software. In case you would like to group 2 fans that are not positioned right next to each other, we can use the same procedure as for a single fan, but combine it with the 2-1 Splitter included in the box. This creates a cluster of fans that can later be easily controlled via software while they are not directly connected to each other. The quality of used LEDs is amazing as well. No stutters, no fading light. Everything is exactly as it is supposed to be.However, as the design is always a factor that the end-buyer should be deciding on, we will leave the conclusion of this category up to you. Just keep in mind that the fan is very well manufactured, feels incredibly sturdy, and the ARGB implementation is definitely best-in-class using only the best and brightest types of LEDs. With second generation innovations comes a 10% boost in performance. The UNI FAN SL-INF 120 utilises a seven-blade design, optimised to function at faster speeds with higher airflow and static pressure. All whilst keeping noise levels to a minimum. At its top speed of 2100RPM, these fans only produce 29 dBA, for whisper quiet operation. Plus, with a maximum static pressure of 2.66mmH2O and airflow of 61.3CFM, these are highly efficient fans to add to your thermal solution. The proprietary connection is incredibly sturdy whilst allowing you to do things like daisy-chaining complete fans to one another eliminating any type of space in between them and providing you with an incredibly sturdy connection. The last method of installation can be achieved by daisy-chaining to each other. While most fan's daisy-chaining feature comes in for daisy-chaining the cable, Lian Li's approach is vastly different. The Controller comes with 4 available proprietary ports. Other than the free ports, there are 2x Sata Power, a regular USB 2.0 Header, and a 3-pin ARGB + 4-Pin PWM cable already pre-attached.

First and foremost, my machine has been functional for over 3 years without fail until now. Here is what has been done so far. With the Lian Li UNI FAN SL-INF reverse blade fan, you can create the ultimate infinity mirror aesthetic within your build. The RSL-INF showcases Lian Li’s stunning infinity mirror RGB, as they feature a reverse airflow design. This means that they draw air through the cage of the fan and exhaust it out the uncovered side, as opposed to the standard design of drawing air in the uncovered side and exhausting through the cage. This makes them perfectly suited for air intake. By positioning the Male- port of a fan right next to the female port of a second fan, we can use the hooks that are present on the edges of a Uni SL fan to slide two fans into each other creating a 2x1 Fan cluster. The software had the exact same effect. Until now, we did not have any sort of positive experience with proprietary software. Lian Li's L-Connect 3 on the other hand, is very well-designed, utilitarian, and not crowded with unnecessary animations and function-reducing images. It does exactly what it needs to do, whilst looking good and being easy to understand. Exactly what we expect.

Easy Cleaning In 4 Steps

One side of the fan houses the male version of Lian Li's 7-pin Fan connector while the other side houses the female version. This connector is responsible for everything that the fan is supposed to do, Light and Speed. Once unboxed, we will not only find the fans themselves but also a whole range of installation equipment: The Lian Li UNI FAN SL-INF 120 reverse blade boasts phenomenal cooling performance. The SL 120 RSL-INF has been manufactured from premium materials, including polycarbonate, PBT plastic, and aluminium. Utilising these outstanding materials, and precision engineering techniques, an SL 120 RSL-INF can reach fan speeds of up to 2100RPM, producing a maximum airflow of 63.6CFM at a static pressure of 2.02mmH2O. Moreover, with their high-quality FDB bearings and vibration dampening rubber pads, these fans only operate at a maximum acoustic noise of 32dB(A). However, we strongly urge you to give Lian Li's L-Connect 3 a try. The software is very well designed and we were surprised by how many features, modes, and direct control you can have using it. Although we are usually trying to avoid any sort of extra software to the biggest extent possible, we were surprised by how happy we were using it. Usually when populating your intake, you must utilise a standard fan with the cage side pointing into your main chamber. Which, if it features RGB lighting, you lose the full effect. With its reverse fan blade design, the RSL-INF not only maintains peak airflow performance but allows the stunning infinity mirror RGB lighting to be on full display. What’s more, by pairing these fans with Lian Li’s standard UNI FAN SL-INF fans, you can create a unique RGB aesthetic for your build.

Some Fans have Infinity mirrors on the fan hub. Others have light coming out of them and spreading across the wings. Others have an ARGB strip going along the fan frame. Lian's Li's Uni SL Infinity fans have all of them combined. Lampton SP105 fan controller (10 port PWM controller) connected the 3 channels of AL-120 fans (3 connections on the fan controller), and In case you want to avoid using Lian Li's L-3, you are open to installing it, and applying the Motherboard control setting buttons for Speed and Light. Once this mode is on, you can continue using your Motherboard Software for every kind of control while the PWM and 3-pin ARGB cable of the controller, which we connected earlier, will be used as a passthrough connection. From there, the last (or first) fan will need to be connected to the controller using the proprietary single connection cable. Although installing the fan is 100% similar to any other fan out there in form of a - position then screw-in - approach, the connection process provides us with a variety of possibilities.

Secondly, the cable module has been reduced in size and placed centrally on the frame edge. What’s more, it can be orientated in a number of ways, to provide more flexible and efficient cable management according to your build. Keep Cool and Carry On..to Your Basket Lighting and fan control are achieved through Lian Li’s updated L-Connect 3 software, or your motherboard software for the singular fans. Each port can be assigned a fan speed or set to specific modes, to best suit your needs. When it comes to lighting, there are over 30 effects to experiment with and the whole spectrum of 16.8 million colours. Effects can be assigned to the fan’s centre only, fan edge only, or a combination of the two. With such amazing flexibility, the Lian Li UNI FAN SL-INF 120 can be home to some amazing light shows. Lian Li UNI FAN SL-INF 120 Specifications: Brand But it's not only their performance that stunned us. The ARGB implementation is incredible as well. Infinity Mirror on 3 occasions, central illumination, and a total of 5 ARGB stripes are plastered all around the fan providing you with every ARGB implementation method ever created. What’s more, the daisy-chaining feature has been improved too. The Lian Li UNI FAN SL-INF 120’s connector key, that slots into the frame of a second fan, can be easily removed. Simply twist 90° and pull from the frame. This increases the SL-INF 120’s compatibility with radiators, as well as leaving no protruding parts for a cleaner aesthetic. Should the need for the key arise, then it can be re-installed just as easily.

Until about 50% of their speed, Lian Li's Uni SL had the best Noise-to-Performance ratio ever recorded by us, making them the best fans on the market right now. A truly amazing result. The most recent change made to single out the issues was to reinstall each software driver one-by-one. Everything is now working flawlessly with everything reinstalling EXCEPT iCue.I have tested both versions of iCue (v4.31.168 and v3.38.88 (For Legacy Devices)) and the same for L-Connect3 ( Current version: v1.5.18 Posted: 12/20/2022 and "For UNI FAN SL-INF users, please keep using"V1.3.16.) As this review is supposed to be on the hardware- side of the fan, we will not be going in-depth into the software, but as we were forced to use it, we are able to confirm that thus far, we have not seen such a well developed ARGB and Fan speed software, neither from a Fan manufacturer nor from a Motherboard manufacturer. Usually, we are not big fans of proprietary Fan software. They tend to be poorly developed, buggy, and overly excitingly looking whilst not giving you any features that a motherboard software couldn't. Interestingly for us though, Lian Li's Uni SL-Infinity fans made us re-think previously set preferences. Until now, we were by default not huge fans of proprietary connectors and mandatory software. However, in this case, we loved it.Controlling the RGB of RSL-Inf fans is simple, as you can utilise Lian Li’s powerful L-Connect 3 software. Employing L-Connect 3 you can adjust the lighting of individual fans or groups, to create a unified display. With a huge variety of colours available, multiple lighting effects, and the ability to control the fan blades and frames lighting separately, you will be able to create your perfect lighting setup. Fan Specifications: Colour All that having been said I have not ever had issues with iCue and ASUS Aura working together and I have not had issues with L-Connect3 and ASUS Aura working together. It seems though that iCue and L-Connect3 with or without ASUS Aura consistently conflict. Used each GPU for about 2-3 weeks before swapping to the next to no avail. The current GFPU in use is the 3090. However, the surprising aspect of these fans came inform of their Noise-to-Performance ratio. For the very first time, we were able to benchmark a fan that was able to outperform Noctua's previously set best noise-to-performance ratio.
