I built this PC using the UNI FAN SL-INF LCD FLEX.

LCD Customization

One thing that surprised me was how many more LCD customization options were available compared to the Wireless series. There are now many more built-in themes. You can also set your own images and overlay additional information, such as system sensors and the time, on them.

Personally, even with all these options, I think I would mainly use the built-in themes or simply set my favorite images. In fact, I ended up using one of the built-in themes in my final build.

Final Build

The SL-INF LCD FLEX looks quite different from the SL-INF Wireless because it no longer has the infinity mirror in the center. This makes a noticeable difference in the overall appearance of the fans.

If you are considering these fans, I recommend carefully deciding whether you prefer lighting or LCD displays. You may also want to consider other options, such as the TL LCD FLEX, depending on your preferences.

I built this PC using the B4-mATX Wood Black and Vertical AeroDeck.

The B4-mATX uses a wood front panel. The top and bottom edges of the wood panel have chamfered sections rather than being completely straight from end to end, which I think gives it a more refined look compared to the A3-mATX.

I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box and found that the included screws were separated by type. Some of the bags were even labeled with what the screws are used for. On the LIAN LI cases I’ve used before, all the screws came in the same bag, which made them somewhat difficult to sort through. This is a very welcome improvement.

Installation

Before installing the cooler and graphics card, I recommend doing most of the cable connections first. Most of the cables can simply be connected and loosely bundled, and they will end up looking quite clean.

If you use the Vertical AeroDeck, you need to relocate the I/O panel to the AeroDeck. The process itself was very easy, but because the I/O panel sits closer to the bottom of the motherboard, the cables tend to have more excess length, which made cable management a little more annoying. However, you can just tuck the excess cables into the available space.

LIAN LI is also currently running a campaign where you can get an ULTRA-SHORT 24-PIN CABLE (limited quantity) when purchasing the B4-mATX and a compatible PSU. If you have one of these cables, cable management should be even easier.

I recommend installing the graphics card first. Be careful with the cables while installing it, and make a quick check to make sure the fans aren’t interfering with any cables.

After that, install the AIO pump head. I used the LIAN LI HydroShift II LCD-C because it was the cooler I had available, but I would not recommend using it in the B4-mATX. Of course, the LCD is mostly hidden in this configuration, but the bigger issue is the tubing. The tubing on this cooler is quite long, which makes installation in the B4-mATX difficult.

Final Build

The TL Wireless fans have relatively subtle lighting, so they allow me to enjoy RGB while still keeping the natural look of the wood. I especially like how the RGB looks through the side glass panel when using the Vertical AeroDeck, as well as the RGB line that can be seen from the front.

However, I don’t think the B4-mATX Wood and Vertical AeroDeck combination looks very cohesive. With wood panels on both the top and front, I feel like the two wood sections compete with each other rather than creating a unified look.

If you want to use the wood panels, I would strongly recommend either the B4-mATX Wood in horizontal mode without the Vertical AeroDeck, or the B4-mATX Mesh in vertical mode with the Vertical AeroDeck.
