Lian Li SL120 Fans unboxing, installation, setup - highlights and issue fixing

This is an unboxing and installation of the Lian Li's SL120 modular fans. I'm installing in the Lian Li 011D Dynamic XL swapping with the Corsair QL120 fans that I had installed previously.

These are excellent modular fans that can be clipped together easily with funky connectors that mean you can use a lot less power cables and they can be easily installed too.

A triple pack of fans includes a control box. That box can manage upto 16 fans - connected in groups of four. It is then plugged into your motherboard via a USB header and connected to SATA power. If you have the right motherboard, you can also connect it to the RGB header and sys fan connector to allow your motherboard to run both the power and lighting instead of L-Connect.

Otherwise L-Connect can be used to control speed and RGB lighting of the fans. Download that here, along with the install guides and see the FAQs for troubleshooting https://www.lian-li.com/uni-fan/
