Lian Li SL120 V2 fans (https://youtu.be/1II5_-0oByE)
These fans offer improvements on the aesthetic, functionality, and performance from the original UNI FAN. These improvements include:
New and improved daisy chaining (connect 3 and 3 fans together)
Thicker design for improved airflow
Enhanced airflow and static pressure
Straighter edge design for improved lighting
Smaller gap between the fans
Enhanced specs include:
Airflow - 64.5 CFM
Static Pressure - 2.59 mmH2O
Noise - 29.2 dBA
Speed - 0 RPM mode and 250-2000 RPM
"With the UNI FAN SL V2, users have the ability to bridge two clusters of fans to create a 3+3 daisy-chained cluster. These 6 fans can then be connected to a single port on the SL V2 UNI HUB controller. The new daisy-chaining solution reduces the number of cables needing to be managed at the back of the case and enables new lighting effects which can be continuous between the two bridged clusters. Please note that while each port of the SL V2 UNI HUB can support a 3+3 cluster, the maximum number of fans supported by the controller is 16. "
The fans now have 4 new effects: RENDER, TUNNEL, VOICE, and Groove.
Also as you'll see at the end there are various different synced lighting effects that you can pair with the Strimers (for example).
