An update: I fiddled with connecting the L-Connect controller to splitters, and a PWM and RGB hub I have and the results are the same: the Lian Li fans are not recognized by the BIOS unless I unplug the USB connection on the Lian Li controller, which kills RGB. When I used the splitter, it actually made my other fans invisible to the BIOS too. Looking closer, I noticed the PWM connector from the Lian Li controller only has 2 pins so I’m assuming it just won’t work without the L-Connect 3 software. Bummer
Options for Lian Li Fan Control - Lemmy.World
Hello! I have recently begun gaming on Nobara Linux and overall, my experience
has been quite good. The biggest issue I’ve experienced so far is not being able
to control my Lian Li SL V2 fan controller. The fans connected to the controller
are only recognized in my BIOS once I run L-Connect 3 in windows but if my
system is shut down, they are no longer seen. I have seen this

and a plugin for OpenRGB, but keep running into compilation errors and/or lack
of maintaining the project. Any advice is very appreciated!
Just a follow-up on this topic, I am VERY intrigued by this new CPU that Intel recently announced: ark.intel.com/…/intel-core-i5-processor-14600t-24…
I’m seeing some outlets saying that the performance loss between this and the i5-14600 is pretty negligible, so that’s a very tempting to upgrade to not only see boosts in performance but energy efficiency as well. Hopefully they’ll become widely available at some point soon

Intel i5-12500 vs i5-13500 - Lemmy.World
Kind of a dumb question but I’m genuinely curious: is this a worthwhile upgrade?
I’m intrigued by performance and efficiency cores and whether there would be a
noticeable effect on both energy efficiency and performance vs the 12th gen.
I’ve looked at the cpu benchmark comparison and see the numbers and there looks
like a big increase in performance with little downside other than the cost of
doing it. Any input is appreciated.
