New build fan question

Demon[KcsF] · 23 Apr 2025 at 08:20

Planning a new build in the NZXT H9 Flow and looking to create something like this

I currently have the case and a Thermalright Frozen Edge 360

I am looking at the Lian Li 120mm SL INF V2 fans and was wondering if they are suitable for the AIO? I've read that the UNI AL 120 V2 are better for a rad but ideally would like to have all fans the same.

Just looking for some opinions from others before I make any purchases, cheers

You want reverse flow fans on the side, intake on bottom / side, exhaust on rear / top.

Aye, its just whether to use AL 120's on the rad and UNI SL INF for the case fans or just go with a full set of UNI SL INF all round to keep the 'look' right

they come in both standard and reverse make for a clean look, and personally i they they have one of the best RGB looks around.
they also interlock and daisy chain so you can run upto 6 fans off one fan and rgb cable

Just looked at some YT videos, they do look very nice!
Static pressure numbers seem good aswell.
Cheers for bringing them to my attention

its funny but its also been shown the reverse ones are better for radiators then the standard ones and they works good for your set up.

Thermalright does fans with exactly the same effects as the ones in your first picture. Thermalright TL-M12W-S at £7.69 each and Thermalright TL-M12R-S for the reverse flow version at £7.90 each.

yes but also no, you cant link the fans in the same one and you can make the RGB of said linked fans to work as one so you get fluid RGB flow.
but yes there cheap as hell and look good
