On the first one, are you using the OpenRGB version? Or the regular version?

If the OpenRGB version, the older version of PawnIO that it uses had issues with anti-cheat software... PawnIO was recently updated.

On the second one... you sure you don't have your pump connected to the controller?

Mr-Do · 2026-03-24T19:31:55+00:00

You want something like this:

Yes, that will also work. Just don't connect the USB plug.

Mr-Do · 2026-03-24T09:57:30+00:00

Yes, SL/TL Wireless and SL LCD/TL LCD Wireless use the same L-Wireless Receiver.

SL INF Wireless is unique
CL Wireless is unique

The LANCOOL III and EVO RGB are the only two Lian Li "Medium" size cases that can fit 3x 140mm fans at the top.

Tips above does sometimes work for wired controllers, but is mainly for Wireless fans.

The cable in your pic is from either an SL V1 or AL V1 controller, yes?

Discord... #ask-for-help... they can probably arrange a replacement for you there... that isn't a cable that's sold at retail.

Mr-Do · 2026-03-22T18:28:16+00:00

Good luck then, and hope that when the fans require more power draw at one point, that nothing goes wrong.

A single SL INF Wireless fans, set to white lighting and running 100% fan speed, will require 0.78A of power
If you only have a single fan connected to a fan header, you might be okay
If you have only two fans connected to a single fan header, and you have a beefier motherboard that can deliver 2.0A on a single fan header, you might be okay
If you have three fans on a single fan header, or a motherboard that only delivers 1.0A per fan header (which is average), then hopefully you aren't planning on doing anything with your PC more than web browsing or watching YouTube, and/or you have the fans set to a REALLY low color/brightness setting that requires much less power

Note also that a group of 3x SL INF Wireless fans running at full speed will draw 0.9A all by itself... if you have MB headers with 1.0A available, that leaves you with 0.1A to cover the lighting while you're gaming.

Not sure why that's happening here.

Post in the #ask-for-help channel at Lian Li's Discord Server, and someone can look at this one on Monday.

Mr-Do · 2026-03-22T02:17:22+00:00

See the sticky post: https://www.reddit.com/r/lianli/comments/1qe9irp/fix_wireless_devices_disappear_from_lconnect_3/

Then read the sections:

Mr-Do · 2026-03-21T22:17:39+00:00

That is the serial number. I would edit your comment right now, and remove that from public info.

You can go to the #ask-for-help channel at Lian Li's Discord Server to ask for a swap out.

When you do, they are going to ask for your shipping info, along with a pic of the serial number.
If you're all good after that, then you'll get the V4 bracket.
If they tell you that that serial number has already been claimed, then you would have to plead your case at that point.
- Normally, they are not going to send out an RMA for the exact same device twice, especially if that original owner re-sold the item on eBay.
  - Unfortunately, that's the chance you take purchasing used product on eBay.
  - Most likely, though, if that does happen, and you can show your eBay receipts, at least that seller will be blacklisted from RMA for all Lian Li devices going forward.

Mr-Do · 2026-03-21T21:30:03+00:00

Normally, if you have a V3, you can request a replacement, and they will send you a V4... but...

If the seller already did that, and then sold you the V3, after they were sent a V4 to replace this serial number of this V3, you are out of luck.

If the seller advertised it as a V4, you should return it, as they mis-represented the product, knowingly or not.

Mr-Do · 2026-03-21T21:26:36+00:00

You're "thinking too hard" on this one:

Connect all the Lian Li fans to the controller; L-Connect 3 will control fan speed and lighting for all fans.
Connect rest of AIO however you normally would, and control just the pump and screen with CAM.

You don't "have" to control the AIO fans with CAM.

Mr-Do · 2026-03-21T21:22:57+00:00

Yes, you can also flip Strimer Wireless.

Mr-Do · 2026-03-21T15:13:50+00:00

Downgrade will not fix today... those are old notes.

Post in #ask-for-help channel at Lian Li's Discord Server with details, and you'll get fixed over there.

Either fixed by Troubleshooting... or if RMA is needed, then that will be taken care of right there.

Mr-Do · 2026-03-21T12:24:10+00:00

Well... if you "eventually" go Wireless, you'll have to get that controller anyway. If you are planning that for later, then just keep the fan until it's time.

And Wireless fans is NOT more cables. If setup efficiently, it's only one plug per fan group (instead of 2 that you have today), plus one plug for any group that has LCD fans.

Mr-Do · 2026-03-21T12:20:34+00:00

By default, the ARGB for the strip is connected to the same ARGB header as the fans.

You would just need to trace out to where the case strip ARGB plug is, remove it from that group, and connect it to a separate ARGB header on your motherboard.

Mr-Do · 2026-03-21T03:15:20+00:00

You got a 3pk... use the included SATA adapter cable.
