Lian Li 2022 Digital Expo Teased
Peter Donnell / 3 years ago
LIAN LI is one of the coolest names in the business, with many award-winning PC cases, power supplies and coolers under their banner. Of course, while they’ve got some great products on the market now, there’s certainly more to come. Lian Li will premier the LIAN LI 2022 DIGITAL EXPO at 9 am EST on YouTube. You can expect some pretty tasty products too, such as the Lancool III. We LOVED the Lancool I and even more so the II, so III should be pretty epic. There’s the new V3000 PLUS, as well as their Uni Fan SL Infinity products too. However, Lian Li will also unveil some prototype products, while will likely become real products based on feedback later this year or even next year. These prototypes include the UNI FAN P28, STRIMER PLUS V2, and L-Connect 3, as well as a complete tour of the new ARGB software.
Part 1 of the preview of the event starts later today, and you can set a reminder on the YouTube video below. Or, if you’re reading this in a few hours from me writing it, I guess you could just watch the video… obviously! A part 2 video is coming, albeit, the date and time are yet to be revealed.
LANCOOL III
Since its first appearance at the LIAN LI 2021 DIGITAL EXPO 2.0, the LANCOOL III’s prototype received many updates. The LANCOOL III is expected to be available in RGB and non-RGB versions, both versions with 3 pre-installed 140 mm PWM fans. Here are the updates:
- Revised opening mechanism for side tempered glass panels using front handles with continuous aluminium edges to unlock.
- All-around 360 radiator support.
- Front panel lever to release the front multidirectional radiator bracket.
- Adjustable cable pass-through bar with larger rubber grommets for longer and bulkier extension cables.
- Adjustable and removable PSU shroud top panel.
- Modular and removable drive cages to improve airflow from the PSU shroud.
- Revised right-side shroud panel with removable SSD support.
- Improved cable management with multi-layer velcro straps.
V3000 PLUS
The V3000 PLUS is a dual system chassis designed with modern features. Returning with a few updates from LIAN LI’s previous EXPO, the V3000 PLUS is close to completion. Here are the improvements:
- Front, top, and shroud side panel mesh design optimized to improve airflow.
- Left and right side tempered glass panels, with new push-lock mechanism.
- Light projection LIAN LI logo under the front panel.
- Revised top IO layout with toggle switch to control the power and reset buttons from the primary system to the secondary system.
- Front side multidirectional bracket for flexible radiator/fan thickness support.
- Relocatable drive cages from PSU shroud to the main chamber beside the motherboard.
- Toolless SSD trays behind the motherboard tray.
UNI FAN SL120 INFINITY
The refined prototype of the new UNI FAN SL120 INFINITY takes the UNI FAN concept to another level with improved looks, cable management, and compatibility. Here is a list of improvements:
- Infinity mirrors at the front center and side edges.
- Slim and bright narrow light grooves along the front edges of the fan.
- Thinner fan cluster power module relocated to the center of the fan frame, and features two-way cable orientation.
- Removable fan interlocking key.
- PWM and ARGB cables combined into a single one.
- Revised UNI HUB with support for two GALAHAD AIO pump ARGB.
UNI FAN P28
The UNI FAN P28 brings the UNI FAN interlocking concept to a higher level of performance and lower noise, but still has the option of adding ARGB as an option.
- 28 mm thick fan made with fluid dynamic bearings, metal-bearing shell, top plated iron shell, and harder build materials, resulting in less vibration and distortion.
- Smaller power module connection that is embedded into the fan, as well as removable interlocking keys for optimal clearance with radiator fitting.
- Users have the option to modify the sides of the fan with an aRGB accessory that replaces the aluminium decorative strip of the UNI FAN P28.
STRIMER PLUS V2
Well known for its ability to elevate the RGB factor of any build, the STRIMER PLUS V2 is packed with improvements, including:
- Silicon-covered power cables for a thinner profile and more flexibility.
- Upgraded diffuser strip, allowing the lighting effect to also shine through the side, stepping up the “wow” effect.
- Both GPU versions of the STRIMER PLUS V2 feature separate 6+2pins for better compatibility and easier installation on GPUs where power connectors are further apart.
- Supported by the latest L-Connect 3 software to individually control each RGB channel on the 24pin, 2x8pin, and 3x8pin.
L-CONNECT 3
LIAN LI’s RGB software is now capable of full control of products within LIAN LI’s ecosystem and becomes the one-stop-shop for RGB control.
- Complete system information, configurable fan profiles according to GPU or CPU temperatures.
- Individual effects for SL120s, AL120s, SL INFINITY, STRIMER PLUS.
- Quick sync of effects throughout your system.
- Auto controller firmware update and software update.
- Customizable speed profile names, cluster names, temperature settings, and languages.
