Lian li SL Inf fans SUCK balls

Pro: look great, cool LED control

Cons: their f#ck3d 

Everytime you start the PC 1 of the 3 fans is running at full speed, and its noisey, there is only one ways to fix this; the fan cable must be disconnected, then reconnected to the hub. There is no way to fix this via software, including changing to bios settings. 

So IMO don't buy these, they are more troublesome than its worth,  especially for their price. At this moment the back panel of my PC case must remain off so I can access the hub for every boot. 

I will be replacing these soon, its unfortunate because they do look frickn good

and before someone asks, yes the firmware and software is all up to date. and has been uninstalled / reinstalled multiple times

Sounds like a faulty fan or hub to me where its perhaps not processing the tachometer so just stays at 100%.

I agree with Alex above, this sound much more like an issue with the controller rather than the fans themselves. What is the hub you are using? I would speculate that any other fan would have the same exact issue.

 

Edit: OOHHH these are those new fans that all inter-connect together and have a single connection wire. Nevermind. I have no experience with these.

I agree with the others. Fans are "dumb", they only do what a controller tells them to do. They don't have any active processing in them.

First time I've heard of that, probably a faulty fan or faulty setup.

Yes most likely hub fault, Ill send them back, and hopefully they can replicate the issue, as there's multiple methods to connect them. There is USB, ARGB and fan header. I disconnected the ARGB as its not controlled by the mobo. I tried disconnecting the fan header and 2 fans worked normally, 1 did not spin. I gues I could try w/out USB and see what happens

yeah its a hub which come with it and they all interlink. But something is wrong somewhere, also I noticed their software wasn't that great. For the first couple of months it could not check for updates
