First, let's take a look at the accessories of the triple package, a controller, three packages of screws, a magnetic/3M adhesive sticker, a Micro USB to motherboard USB cable, two fan interconnect extension cables, four fan to controller cables, instruction manual and quick guide.
LIANLI AL120V2 White on front. The new AL120 V2 has been improved in appearance and has improved functionality to a higher level than the original building block fan AL. The fan frame has increased thickness to keep you quiet while getting more efficient performance, the 3+3 snap-on design combination drastically reduces cluttered cable wrapping, and a slimmer and more focused power bundle. The fan adopts dynamic hydraulic bearing (FDB) fan size: 120 x 120 x 28 (mm), performance parameters: air volume: 77.3 CFM (Maximum), wind pressure: 2.97 mmH2O (Maximum), noise: 28.7 dB(A) Max, speed range: 0, 250-2000 RPM, support low load stop function.
The front of the fan has a white PBT frame, four RGB strips at the corners, the central milky white fan blade has RGB lighting effect, and there is an aluminum alloy brushed ring at the shaft, printed with the Lianli logo.
The AL120 V2 Lianli brick fan retains the same lighting style as its predecessor, with separate lighting effects on the shaft and edges, and aluminum trim on the back.
The building block fan AL120 V2 also adds new slim strips in the four corners of the front and back of the fan. Along the highly decorated brushed aluminium material, the newly designed light bar can be seen from the side.
The fan end connection of the mounting cable is designed with a small embedded design, so that the fan power supply module is as close to its fan as possible, without affecting the compatibility between the heat exhaust accessories.
Each fan pack can be connected to the controller via a single cable.
This connection also provides flexibility and at the same time allows the wire to be easily bent.
In order to avoid interference with the heat dissipation and to ensure a neat appearance, the buckle can be unscrewed and removed when not in use. Of course, removing the bayonet allows you to install the fan pack interconnect extension cable.
Fan pack interconnect extension cable.
Interface with sliding design. The AL120 V2 brick fan can bridge two fan packs together by extending the interconnect to create a 3+3 interlocking fan pack (2+1 illustrated in the figure below), which can then be connected to one port of the AL V2 UNI line controller. This new bridging solution reduces the amount of cable required to connect fans on the back of the chassis, while enabling new lighting effects to be shared between two fan packs bridged together. It is important to note that each connector of the controller supports up to 6 fans, and a single controller can connect up to a total of 16 fans.
The module cable is from Lianli LIANLI Strimer Plus V2 12VHPWR (Neon Wire III Generation). One motherboard 24Pin to 24Pin (12 light guide strips), one 12+4Pin to 12+4Pin (12 light guide strips).
First, let's look at the motherboard 24Pin vs 24Pin neon line. Accessories include installation instructions, thank you card, control box, USB cable, 3M adhesive sticker, white clip clip, etc.
24Pin wire body, 12 light guide strip design. The third generation of neon wire is made of highly flexible silicone wire (TPE), compared with the second generation of the previous generation of neon thread using double-layer silver plating wire, the third generation of neon thread adopts single-layer TPE high-flexible silicone wire, so that the overall thickness of the third generation of neon thread (RGB layer + wire layer) is reduced to 8 mm (second generation: 11 mm).
A black wire can be seen on the back of the cable, which is the multi-function control line of power supply and signal connected to the controller, because the inside of the wire is also at the end of the plug, so the installation product display is easy to see, no need to entangle the color matching problem.
The cable extension cable connects to the black wire bayonet of the power cable port with the LIANLI logo printed on it.
The third generation of neon wires features new side diffuser plates that greatly increase brightness, allowing light to escape from the side of the RGB strip for a more dazzling lighting effect.
A transparent line card is standard on the back for fixation. The new extension cable design makes Neon Wire 3rd Generation more flexible (bending tighter), more resistant to high temperatures (3rd generation: 150°C / 2nd generation: 105°C), easier installation and cleaner appearance.
The wire adopts a quick-release structure. Different motherboard 24PIN interface orientation, and Lianli neon wire can only be bent outward, can not reverse bending, in order to comply with the motherboard installation problem, Lianli neon cable has a detachable design, power supply line and RGB lighting effect line can be separated and changed direction, and then fixed by the bayonet, very convenient.
The graphics card connected to the motherboard port can be changed color through the included white bayonet, and the white installation look and feel is more coordinated.
Let's look at the 12+4Pin vs 12+4Pin neon line. The accessories are basically the same as the 24Pin Neon Cable, and the new Neon Cable III ARGB Extension Cable is also compatible with the Neon Cable L-Connect 3 controller (included in the 24 pin Neon Cable III ARGB Extension Cable Kit) and can be used together. Each set of Neon Cable 3rd Generation 12VHPWR ARGB Extension Cables comes with an adapter cable that connects directly to the motherboard's 5V 3-pin ARGB pins, providing compatibility with all major motherboard lighting software. Regarding L-Connect 3 software compatibility, users can purchase a separate controller or obtain a motherboard color cable with L-Connect software-compatible controller with a third-generation 24 pin ARGB extension cable.
Both ends use the 12+4Pin connector that comes standard with 40 series graphics cards, one male and one female.
The back is also made of the same material and design, and thanks to the longer cable, 3 transparent line cards are fitted as standard for fixation.
The 12+4Pin female end is connected to the power cord and the LIANLI logo is printed on the rubber case.
This model has 12 light guide strips, each with a width of 2.1 mm (2.8 mm for the second generation light guide strip), and the overall width is slightly reduced, which not only does not affect the overall brightness, but also makes the light effect more refined.
This connector follows the 12+4 pin ATX 3.0 power supply standard, uses a 16AWG power cable with an output of 600W, and has better bending resistance and high temperature resistance. If you need a higher bend tolerance, you can remove the exterior rubber case so that the ARGB extension cable can be bent closer to the connector, while improving compatibility between large graphics cards and PCs with narrow spaces.
Similarly, the line card on the interface side of the replaceable graphics card is white, which is suitable for the white installation theme.
