Lian Li Lancool 216 RGB Controller White

Firstly, I couldn’t find the answer hardly anywhere online but this WILL control the RGB for the rest of your fans, given they are down line of this controller. Also to answer a few common questions; 1. As stated above, this will control other RGB fans in your case, whether they’re lian li or not. But they need to be run down line of the controller. The diagrams can be a bit confusing so here’s how I did it. First connect the female ended cable to your mobo’s 3-pin RGB header. This controller needs to be the first thing connected to control the fans. Next run the male end to the fan hub’s (the one preinstalled on the back of the case) female connector. This will allow the fan controller to change the RGB lighting of all the case fans given they’re connected to the hub. You can also daisy chain them from the controller itself. If the bottom two buttons aren’t working, check these connections. 2. I saw some people say they can’t change the color of the ring around the front case fans. The controller comes out of the box with them synced to the fans. To un-sync them you will need to press key 1&2 together for 3 seconds. This will un-sync and sync the fan and rim color and make the top two buttons work. Be careful which keys you press since I believe pressing keys 3&4 together for 3 seconds will pass control to your mobo’s software, just press them again to undo that. 3. For the USB cable, you can get a splitter that will have two female ends that you can plug both the cables from this and the cables from the top up panel into, I haven’t tried it myself as I don’t need the usb inputs, but it’s an option. Though I’d recommend doing some research on your mobo and the cable itself. 4. As far as the usb cables go they are stiff and a bit difficult to route, but it just takes a little work to get them there. The directions are a little vague with how to route them, it took some trial and error but I learned you need to route them on the outside of the cage that holds the fans, and they will curve down and sort of under the lower fan in between the two mounts where the screws would go, on the side of the fan, then going through the gap at the bottom. It is a little worrisome getting them to bend at that angle but the cables are sturdy. 5. To my knowledge it will not work with software such as L-connect or open-RGB. As for my thoughts overall, I think it’s built well, and works well. I wish the RGB cables were just a couple inch or two longer though. It’s worked well for me and has some nice patterns it can display. I do think this should have come with the case, even if you had to pay a bit extra. There isn’t a lot of info on this controller so I hope this helps!

After building my pc on the Lancool 216 I found out that you can have this add on. I did install it and i like it a lot. It works and i like the look of my pc. Since my pc sits on top of my desk plugging the usb is very easy instead of above the case.

I bought this ARGB & USB controller to replace the one that came with my Landcool 216 ARGB case with ARGB & USB controller... The original controller stopped working after a month... I hope this new controller last a little longer then the first one! Liam Li creates wonderful cases, but lacks in a few areas... This controller requires a second USB 3.0 hub (90% of motherboards only carry one USB 3.0 hub) The case didn't come with a USB 3.0 splitter so it would work as sold... Too bad this genius case builder didn't include a USB 3.0 splitter so the case would work as advertised... It is extremely difficult to get this splitter :-( Most of these splitter are poorly made and don't support all four USB ports to work at the same time... I beg Liam Li to create a well made USB 3.0 splitter included with his ARGB & USB controller, thank you!!!

work as intended pretty well without any problems.

Maybe I had a faulty unit, but mines didn’t work. After installing it correctly

It's a must have for the case 😎

Funciona de maravilla!!

Purchase the device for a new build on the Lian Li 216 R case. Oriented it on the top of the case and moved the On/Off plate to the bottom which took me about 20 minutes. Instructions were a little vague but was able to get the connections right. Would of liked to have a few more color schemes available but there was enough to make the case look nice. Probably the most important plus for some would be the extra USB 3.0 ports at the top of the case giving you a total of 4 at the front of the case. Would recommend it for that fact alone.

Die Anleitung war super simpel und einfach gestaltet, das Produkt ist hochwertig und passt perfekt in meinen Pc, leider war mein Mainboard nicht kompatibel für 2 weitere 3.0 USB Ports, darum kaufte ich mir noch einen Adapter aber glaube neuere Mainboards haben das Problem nicht mehr. Dennoch einfache Installation und auch einfache Bedienung kann ich jedem Empfehlen für das Case, da man die volle RGB pracht erhält. Ist nur blöd das dann keine Steuerung übers Mainboard mehr möglich ist.

Perfecto funcionando y conectado facil y como un guante como todo lo que fabrica esta marca.

Makkelijke installatie en werkt perfect! Ik kan er verder niks anders op aanmerken. Ik ben blij dat ik het heb gekocht.

A little difficult to install due to the stiff wires. Cool lighting effect, clear controls. BUT it can only control two fans

Works fine
