Couple of days ago, I was moving my PC to a smaller case. From O11D EVO RGB to SUP01.
When I took all the parts out, I've noticed some liquids around 2 fans of the AIO. with further inspection, the liquid smells Glycol.
I'm lucky to have my Astral in the upright position on the right side of the case.
Huge thanks to Lian Li for providing the new SL-FLEX LCD fans!
I went with a Cyberpunk HUD theme for this one. Setting up the hardware readouts in L-Connect 3 was quick, and tweaking the graphics to match the yellow and cyan color scheme was pretty straightforward.
Everything integrated nicely with the CL Wireless fans, which kept the overall setup process simple. The new large LCD is also a big step up from the older wireless LCD fans, the extra screen space really elevates the premium look of the fans.
Parts List:
Turns out lian li fan speeds are individually adjustable on daisy-chain. (I stopped the middle bottom fan to show it on camera.) L-connect not giving you an option doesn't mean the hardware isn't capable. Maybe they accounted for fan beat frequency?
Noctua did a whole research about fan beat frequency. If your fan groups spin at very close but not the same speed (happens very often), you will hear alternating humming/whoosing sounds because your fan noise frequencies will oscillate individually, sometimes overlap, but never match each other. Setting fan speeds at least 50+-rpm apart makes your fans emit a fixed fan noise, which fixed the haunted fan noise coming from my AIO fans above 880rpm. Cheers!

Many thanks to Lian Li for the UNI FAN FLEX LCD Upgrade Campaign—I was really thrilled to be a part of it!
The campaign was the perfect opportunity to finally give the white build of the upstairs setup a little refresh. I took advantage of the chance to replace the old first-generation Strimer fans—which had been part of the build from the very beginning—while switching to the LCD Flex fans.
As for the UNI FAN TL LCD fans: not only do they look fantastic, but the installation and setup were also absolutely hassle-free. The 140mm wireless LCD fans in my black build were very delicate to install, but with the Flex fans, everything went perfectly. Absolutely no problems.
Since this PC hadn’t used any wireless components until now, the installed Lian-Li software was also quite outdated (never touch a running system…). Installing the latest version of L-Connect 3 went smoothly, the outdated version was cleanly removed, and the receiver’s firmware upgrade also went off without a hitch.
Since I took this as an opportunity to replace the Strimer with the new wireless version, I also set up wireless control for the fans. They were recognized immediately—that worked perfectly, too.
I went ahead and created a Cyberpunk theme to try it out, and I also gave the Katakombcat logo a Cyberpunk look—it looks absolutely awesome. The larger LCDs also look much better in the setup photos than the TL-LCDs I used before.
Since the setup upstairs actually belongs to my wife, I naturally had to try out the included cat theme—she loved it!
I’m really very satisfied; the fan performance and noise level are perfectly fine, too. Now I’m eagerly awaiting the 140mm version so I can upgrade my Black Build down in the man cave (aka the catacombs) as well (last photo).

Please rate what I'm hoping is my final setup for a while (unlikely).
I added the specs below if you're curious.
New build , tight , but good! ;)
This wasn't exactly an easy build. I constantly had to think about the order of the components to make everything fit. But here it is: a powerful build packed into the smallest possible size.
Ryzen 9850X3D "ac -25 , +100" 5600hz boost stabil under games
Geforce ASUS Noctua 5080 RTX "Uv 865mv 2700"
Asus Rog Strix B850-G Gaming WIFI
G.Skill 32GB CL30 DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB)
2TB SSD Samsung 990 PRO
TRYX 360 Upraded " 3x Noctua g2 fans"
Lian A3
SF1000 3.1 Corsair
Temps Games:
GPU under fulll load = 54-58c / 600-750rpm max!
CPU = 61-66c
“ i only need to change the rear fan, to g2 120m@
t's so quiet that you actually have to put your ear right next to it to listen for the fans, GPU, etc. In a quiet room, with the PC on the desk just one meter away from you, it sits at around 25.3 to 26.1 dB.
I built this PC using the UNI FAN SL-INF LCD FLEX.
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.
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 finally completed my FLEX build!
For my completed build, I decided to go with the UNI FAN SL FLEX LCD. I really like how its design fits the overall look of my setup, especially with the clean side profile and the LCD screens integrated into the build.
I used L-Connect 3 to customize the LCD screens to match the theme of my PC. Being able to use custom graphics and animations on each display gave me a lot of freedom to make the fans feel like part of the build rather than just cooling components.
I spent some time experimenting with different LCD content and layouts until I found a combination that worked well with the lighting and the rest of the setup. That customization process was probably my favorite part of putting the final look together.
Really happy with how the whole build turned out!
Thanks to LIAN LI for the opportunity to participate in the UNI FAN FLEX LCD Upgrade Campaign.

Hi!
I bought a PC V2000 Plus to use as a fileserver since it has so many drive bays, but unfortunately the seller had lost most of the hard drive screws.
Is there anywhere I can source replacements, or anything that might work? I've searched everywhere and came up empty.
If anyone has a solution I'd be eternally grateful.
