Lian Li Lancool 216 ARGB & Fan Hub Question


Recommended Posts

Hello All

Desktop Case is a Lian Li Lancool 216 ARGB Case with Included ARGB & Fan Hub inside the system.       Wondering for next dust clean out coming up soon,  if anyone knows which fan port my 2 160MM front fans should be plugged into to be able to control them in UEFi bios for Fan curves and such.      ((I'm a kinda still newbie with Hardware, but trying to learn slowly))       

Seems i don't have a picture of mine currently on my phone, i thought i did, but i guess i don't at the moment, and way desk is, can't get to that side of the PC case right now

((this forums always been helpful more so than Reddit)) so decided to ask here lol, versus asking on a Reddit area lol 

Generic Picture from Bing Images of the Lian Li Lancool 216 ARGB & Fan hub

Doesn't matter where you connect your fans ... Fan 1, Fan 2, Fan 6, etc....doesn't matter one bit.  All fans on that hub will run at the speed of whatever motherboard fan header you've plugged it into.

That first four pin (on the right) is your power (4-pin --> SATA). 

The connector left of it goes to your motherboard fan header.

The correct cables and manual should have come with the case?

 

 

Well i'll have to search the boxes for the manual, maybe i missed it or misplaced it somewhere here as usual.     I should have all the cables inside the system though.       Though does cool better than any older system i ever used.    Absolutely no thermal throttling.   

 Definitely picked out a very good airflow oriented case!!

You should be able to connect them to a CHA_(number) port which will be 4-pin, and then set in the BIOS.

Hopefully you have daisy chained the front two, so that you only need to connect it in one place on the motherboard.. then you can setup the fan curve for both fans on that Chassis fan port.

Ok i hope they are daisy chained, if not will get them daisy chained.     as i watched another Youtube video on this case and supposely the front fans sometimes aren't connected to the Included Fan Hub at Factory, so gonna make sure they are on next dust clean out of system definitely this time.     

 May even rewatch that Youtube video on Samsung Smart Tv during the dust clean out so i can see which port that Youtuber connected the 2 fans to lol, and then i should be good i hope

 

Or i can find a Chassis Number port on Motherboard itself, and go from there if need be lol.    

Think will have this fully figured out soonish here

Hello

 

Would anyone know by chance regarding the Lian Li Lancool 216 ARGB/Fan hub specifically where the front fans would connect to, to be able to see there RPM in UEFI bios when setting up the fan curves,   i am not a hardware expert, mostly a noob on Hardware still,  trying to learn as much as i can, but its a slow process.

Did get Dust clean out done on system, and Temps are much much better,  even during a Defender scan previously i'd hit 85C or higher at times, today despite RL temp being humid and warmer today a bit,  didn't hardly go over 60C.     So i definitely cleaned system good this time!!

Did the clean out after early afternoon storms ended!!

**Note did not build system myself, had Ibuypower Build my Dream Ryzen Build, normally i don't mention that part as sometimes i feel ashamed that i can't build a whole system myself** 

Even my last system before this one had Local PC shop build that one, it ran ok, but even after getting the upgraded cooler installed they said this should work,    still throttled when doing tasks.  

 

My AMD Never Throttles!!

I also tend to worry alot, just my nature i guess

Oh Ok thank you,   i'll try to trace which one is the front fans and go from there, i forgot i posted on this issue before oopsy.        But they might already be connected right all i know lol.      

I tend to worry way too much i think

I've been running Argus Monitor for a few years now, and it just so happens that two years ago, Black Friday (heh..;)), I bought a Lian-Li  LanCool 216 myself, on sale, and when I got it out of the box I noticed it included the ARGB panel, gratis, which was fine with me. I'm not into light shows, but I disconnected each fan from the ARGB panel (panel as shown in your screenshots), and then connected them to whatever 4-pin mboard fan connectors I wanted directly.  And as Argus Monitor supports a number of old and new motherboards, it gave me immediate control of the case fans. I agree that the stock fans are effective and nearly silent! Just thought I'd suggest it as we have the same case...;)

Last month, AMD announced it is answering community requests to bring FSR 4.1 to past generations of its Radeon graphics cards. This would be starting with RDNA 3 RX 7000 products. Right on schedule, this is what's rolling out now with the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver containing official support for over 300 games. Following this, AMD is planning to bring out RDNA 2 (RX 6000 series) support for FSR 4.1 sometime in early 2027. As for the games, this Adrenalin 26.6.2 driver is a recommended install for anyone jumping into Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced remake or id Software's DOOM: The Dark Ages' Revelations expansion.

The known issues AMD is still working on are the following: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products. AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products. Failure to install may be observed while installing AI Bundle components in some regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub. Model flickering or rendering failure may be observed in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender on Radeon RX 7000 series and above graphics products.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
