Lian Li already makes some of the best‑looking ARGB fans on the market, but today the company is adding to the roster with the new UNI FAN FLEX series, introducing updated SL FLEX and CL FLEX models.

The new SL FLEX and CL FLEX fans form the entry point to Lian Li’s wireless ecosystem, connecting through the updated FLEX Receiver. The receiver handles power via a standard 4‑pin PWM header and communicates wirelessly through L‑Connect 3, allowing users to control lighting and fan curves without additional cabling. It also supports a 5V 3‑pin ARGB mode for those who prefer motherboard‑controlled lighting. Each receiver can run up to four fans and is backward compatible with previous CL Wireless models.

The UNI FAN SL FLEX receives the biggest visual update, replacing its aluminium side plates with dual‑sided infinity‑mirror lighting. It features two lighting zones with 52 LEDs and operates at up to 2000 RPM, delivering 66.5CFM of airflow, 2.5mmH2O of static pressure and 29dBA. Standard and reverse‑airflow versions are available in both black and white.

The CL FLEX retains its established design but now ships with the FLEX Receiver for expanded control options. It reaches up to 2100 RPM and pushes 77.34CFM at 2.52mmH2O, making it the higher‑airflow option in the FLEX family. Like the SL FLEX, it comes in standard and reverse‑airflow variants.

Triple‑fan packs include the L‑Wireless Sync Controller, supporting up to 10 connected devices rather than four. The UNI FAN SL FLEX and CL FLEX are available starting today, priced at $21.99 / $69.99 for SL FLEX single / triple packs and $16.99 / $54.99 for CL FLEX single or triple packs.

KitGuru Says: Lian Li’s UNI FAN lineup has been hugely popular for both aesthetics and ease of installation. The new FLEX models look set to continue that trend, allowing PC builders to cut down on cables even further. 

DreamHack has announced a five‑year extension of its partnership with Elgiganten, securing the retailer’s role as Presenting Partner and Exclusive Retail Partner for all Swedish DreamHack festivals through 2029. According to DreamHack, this marks the longest‑running retail partnership in the history of the Swedish gaming and esports market.

The renewed deal ensures Elgiganten will continue to operate its large on‑site presence at DreamHack events, including a massive Elgiganten on-site store, daily giveaways, and a range of hardware‑focused activations. DreamHack says the partnership has become “woven into the fabric” of the festival experience, with Elgiganten maintaining exclusive retail and hardware rights at the events.

“Extending our journey for another five years, a record for our market, proves that the bridge between retail and the gaming lifestyle is stronger than ever,” said Andreas Jernberg, VP Brand Partnership Development at ESL FACEIT Group. Elgiganten’s Alexander Åberg added that the retailer aims to remain “the heartbeat of the gaming community in the Nordics.”

Alongside the partnership announcement, DreamHack highlighted the continued evolution of its festival layout, including the newly expanded Community Hall. The zone will serve as a hub for tabletop and trading card game fans, featuring competitive tournaments, free‑play areas, hobby vendors, an Artist Alley, community‑led stage programming, meet‑and‑greets and a new gamified festival adventure called “Quest”.
