Lian Li UNI FAN P28 (120mm/92.0 CFM/4.8 mmH2O Static Pressure/2600 RPM Max/34.7 dBA/Fluid Dynamic Bearing/ARGB/PWM) Review
Lian Li UNI FAN P28 120mm case fan, 92.0 CFM airflow, 4.8 mmH2O static pressure, 2600 RPM max, 34.7 dBA, Fluid Dynamic bearing, ARGB, PWM control. Lian Li's performance-tier daisy-chain fan, built for thick radiators rather than case airflow.
The UNI FAN P28 pushes Lian Li's daisy-chain concept into genuinely high-performance territory: 92 CFM and roughly 4.8 mmH2O of static pressure at a 2600 RPM ceiling put it in the same league as dedicated high-static-pressure fans, while keeping the same single-cable daisy-chain wiring as the rest of the UNI FAN family. It's noticeably louder at full speed than the SL120 or AL120, which is the trade for the extra performance.
Built for Restriction
The P28's blade profile and higher-torque motor are tuned specifically for thick, high-FPI radiators and dense front-panel filtering where the SL120 and AL120 start to lose effectiveness — the '28' in the name nods to its target radiator category.
Noise at the Top End
At 2600 RPM the P28 is loud, similar to other performance-radiator fans; most builders will run it well below max RPM on a PWM curve except when the loop is under heavy thermal load, at which point the extra pressure earns its keep.
Comparison to Alternatives
Against the Phanteks T30-120 already in this catalog, the P28 has a similar performance target (thick radiators, high static pressure) but adds daisy-chain cable management the T30-120 lacks. Compared to its own SL120/AL120 siblings, the P28 trades day-to-day quietness for genuine high-restriction cooling headroom.

Expert Review
Reviewed by Burooj Alam. Rated by us, not by users.
Expert rating9 / 10
The performance option in Lian Li's daisy-chain family, for radiators that actually need the extra static pressure.
Best for
- Thick, high-FPI custom-loop radiators
- Builders who want daisy-chain cabling with real performance
- Overclocked systems needing serious cooling headroom
Not for
- Quiet-first case airflow duty
- Budget builds
- Thin radiators where the extra pressure goes unused
FAQs
