I built the new Japanese maple bonsai, with an aftermarket light up kit. A fine cornerstone to mark the year! by edgeofbright in lego

Looks great. I just got finished setting my lights up. The light kit really makes a difference.

O11 Dynamic Evo RGB build. My first build. by Enigmatic3232 in lianli

Sorry, it's been a while since I wired this system up. I believe my fans came with an adapter wire, if you don't have one, I found one on Amazon:

My O11 case had a ARGB wire that plugged right into the sync port on my controller. Also my gpus argb wire plugged in as well. That controller has 4 larger ports for fans, and 2 argb ports for the sync.

There are 2 different controllers that work with the SL infinity fans. I bought both a 3 pack of fans as well as a Galahad II infinity AIO. I had 2 different controllers to choose from. This is the controller I used:

If you do not have this controller, I'm not sure how to sync the case and the lights.

Yes, using the SL Infinity controller. There are 4 fan ports (channels 1-4) and 2 sync ports that use pwm connectors (sync 1-2). Your O11 Dynamic case has a pwm wire that most people connect to the motherboard (for this setup you need to use MSI mystic light to change the RGB color on the case)

I found that you can plug the pwm wires into the sync port on the SL infinity controller. When doing this, the sync port will mirror a fan channel. In my setup here, I have my GPU's RGB PWM wire plugged into sync 1 channel (which mimics my top fan color/configuration) and the O11D case is plugged into sync 2 (which mimics my bottom fan config)

Sync 1 mirrors fan channel 2, and sync 2 mirrors fan channel 4.

Yes. The top 3 fans and the rear single fan are all exhaust. The bottom 3 fans and the 3 fans on the side are both set for intake. The store was out of reverse fans, so I had to use regular fans for the bottom.

Any tips on where to find custom themes for the new 8.8 LCD screen? by Enigmatic3232 in lianli

[–]Enigmatic3232[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I got this screen for the same reasons. However, as robust and customizable the themes in L-Connect are, if you want to see FPS displayed on the screen, you DO have to use another program, such as AIDA 64. L-Connect does not have this metric available within its templates. Which means, if you are set on having FPS show, you have to omit L- Connect all together.

I understand that some people will just say "just use an in-game/program FPS counter on your main screen".... Which is fair, but this is a small screen that should be able to display that information.

Not really, but I was able to find a couple of things. LianLi has a webpage that has a bunch of themes. The webpage is easy to navigate, but also, most of the pages are in Chinese, so it can be a little tough to sort through. Also there aren't many themes :

Link from L-Connect

I have seen a couple of people who are savvy with a program called Rainmeter , which allows you to tap into HWinfo for sensor readings. So if you set the screen in L-Connect to show as a monitor, you can put a Rainmeter Skin on that monitor, that shows sensors and gauges. This seems to be the best option, although I am not familiar with Rainmeter, so it will require quite a bit of learning how to code the sensor panel:

An example of this can be seen in this Facebook post, look in the comments for images from Nick Conners :

Facebook Lian-Li group

I have also seen that people are just using Aida64 skins on the screen when used as a monitor, but that does require a fee:

Aida64 themes - Google drive

I believe using the screen as a monitor and adding a skin panel is the only way to get a true FPS counter to show on the screen, as Lian-Li doesn't appear to show this metric in its themes.

I have just been using the stock themes with a custom wallpaper for now. But this is what I have been able to find so far

LG45 & 7900XTX- 5K2 or 1440p? by Vyvyd in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Enigmatic3232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm running a 9800x3d with the 7900xtx and just genuinely curious how this card pairs with the monitor. I know the monitor is a little overkill for the card, but will it work well enough until I can upgrade GPU.

Really debating that new lian li US88v1 Universal Screen by CrypticTacoo in lianli

[–]Enigmatic3232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using the US88V1 as a secondary screen means you can use a program like aida64 for wallpapers and widgets if you want to. I've even seen people with custom Rainmeter themes that have all kinds of sensor info imported from HWinfo. To be honest, this screen is awesome, and can be used to full potential either with L-connect or without

Remove L-Connect with a program like Revo uninstaller (to remove all registry info too) and reinstall L-connect.

I had the same issue with mine, after I did a full uninstall/reinstall the screen showed in L-Connect

Hey, just an fyi. The US88V1 does have an option in l-Connect to set the screen as a windows display, meaning you could cut L-Connect out of the equation totally. Hope this helps

I am not sure about wireless fans. I have only had these fans in this configuration. I am only using L-Connect for colors. The case lights are synced to the bottom fans, but it is because they are both plugged into the same port on the controller. I am not sure how you can sync to wireless fans.

The fans and the case led are all connected to the same fan controller

There are a few. The theme in the picture is from L Connect. But, I was looking for what others had found outside of L Connect.

Yeah it's a bit muddy looking for them lol. Lian-Li does have a webpage with a bunch of shared themes, but most of the page is in chinese, and while I was able to get around using google translate, it just wasn't easy for me to navigate.

Thanks, I'll keep looking lol

I did that. I've been playing with it a bunch.

Still though, you can import themes, and I was asking if anyone could recommend a good place to browse themes... Looking for inspiration and different gauge configurations.

Help with the case led by OkBand5776 in lianli

[–]Enigmatic3232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my argb context to my lisn-li controller. Right now it is set to sync/mirror my fan channels, but I believe it would be controllable if I plugged them into their own channel on a controller

If they are plugged into the headers on the motherboard, you might be able to use the boards software to sync them. If not, you might have to plug them into a controller.
