Lian Li UNI FAN SL120 V2 White ARGB 120mm Fan Single (No Controller) :
Buying Guide & Review
Maybe you bought the three-fan kit and your new case has room for a fourth at the rear. Maybe you want to complete a 360mm radiator and fill the back of the case at the same time. Either way, this is the fan that closes the gap.
The Lian Li UNI FAN SL120 V2 White ARGB 120mm Fan Single (No Controller) is a single add-on unit for builders already on the SL V2 system. It has the same thicker frame, the same clip-together contacts and the same white finish, so it blends seamlessly into an existing setup. It does not include a controller, and that detail shapes who it is for.
1. Why Buy a Single SL120 V2?
Expand Without Starting Over
Once you own an SL V2 controller, adding fans one at a time is the most economical way to grow. You pay only for what your case actually needs rather than another full three-pack.
Matching Looks
Mixing fan brands in a white build rarely looks right. A single SL120 V2 in white keeps the same frame, blades and lighting as your existing fans, so the finished case looks planned from the start.
2. Design & Build
28mm Frame, More Airflow
The V2 frame is 28mm deep, a little thicker than a standard fan. Lian Li says this helps the V2 move roughly 10% more air than the original SL120, a worthwhile gain in the same 120mm footprint.
Interlocking Keys You Can Remove
The joining keys let this fan lock onto a neighbouring SL120 V2 so power and lighting pass through the connection. Remove the keys when you want the fan mounted on its own, such as at the rear exhaust.
3. Lian Li SL120 V2 Specs Explained
Improved Daisy-Chain Design
The V2 connection is easier to align and holds more securely than the first generation. For a single add-on fan, that means it slots onto an existing cluster quickly and without fiddling.
Start/Stop RPM
The fan can come to a full stop when temperatures are low and start again when they rise, so a lightly loaded PC can stay completely silent.
Two Clusters, Six Fans
The SL V2 controller supports up to six fans arranged in two clusters. Plan your layout around that, for example three on the front and three on the top or radiator.
4. Controller Requirement
No Controller in the Box
This single fan is sold without a controller. It is meant to join an SL V2 system you already own, typically one that came with a three-pack.
Check Your Fan Count
Before buying, count the fans already on your controller. If you are already at its supported maximum, adding another fan will need a second controller.
Stick With V2
SL V2 fans are designed for the V2 system. Mixing generations can cause connection and compatibility issues, so match this fan with other V2 fans and a V2 controller.
5. Cooling Performance
Ideal as Rear Exhaust
A single fan works well as the rear exhaust, pulling hot air away from the CPU cooler area. It balances the airflow of a front-mounted three-pack and helps stop heat building up under the top panel.
Completing a Radiator
If your cooler uses a 240mm or 360mm radiator, a single add-on lets you fill the last position with a matching fan.
6. Pakistan Market Perspective
Building in Stages
Many builders in Pakistan spread upgrades across several months because of budget. A single fan at a lower price fits that approach perfectly: buy the kit now, add fans as funds allow.
Extra Exhaust for Hot Months
An additional exhaust fan is one of the simplest ways to bring case temperatures down in summer when rooms stay warm well into the night.
Power and UPS
One fan adds almost nothing to your power draw, so it has no real effect on UPS runtime. Keep the system on a UPS to protect the controller from power cuts and surges.
7. Lian Li SL120 V2 White Price in Pakistan & Value
A Sensible Way to Expand
The single fan costs more per unit than buying within a pack, but it saves you from buying fans you do not need. For finishing a build, that is often the better deal.
Warranty Window
It comes with a 7-day replacement or refund period. Connect it to your controller and test both lighting and speed control as soon as it arrives.
8. Who Should Buy the Single SL120 V2 White?
A Great Fit For
Owners of an SL120 V2 three-pack who need a fourth, fifth or sixth fan, builders completing a radiator, and white-themed systems that need one matching exhaust fan.
Not the Right Buy If
You do not already own an SL V2 controller. In that case, start with the three-pack that includes one.
Conclusion
The Lian Li UNI FAN SL120 V2 White ARGB 120mm Fan Single (No Controller) is an expansion piece. It carries all the V2 strengths, including the 28mm frame, the refined daisy-chain and start/stop RPM, and it matches existing white SL120 V2 fans exactly.
Check that you have a V2 controller with a free slot, plan where the fan will sit, and it will slot into your build as though it had been there from the beginning.
