🌬️ Lian Li Galahad AIO360 RGB White CPU Cooler - Closed Loop All-in-one Cooler for Enhanced Performance (Retail) Review

Beautiful monobloc. Quiet and elegant. Wouldn't pay more for it than retail. 149.99. Be patient and DO NOT SUPPORT overpriced scalpers. It took me over 3 months to find one in retail. GLG to all!

The only real YouTube review I saw was Gamer's Nexus saying the pump noise was real. He said he lowered it to 8 volts to make it bearable. This corresponds to 66% in terms of speed. So 2144 rpm. The maximum speed is 3200 rpm. I don't know if that's a concession I'm willing to make if it hurts performance. I don't have much experience with multiple AIOs, but my cheap EVGA pump is almost silent at 2800 rpm. It looks nice and happens to match the Gigabyte Vision card and white RAM I have to build.

Looks good and probably works very well on Intel, but the AMD bracket uses the bracket that came with the motherboard so there are only 2 points of pressure. If a four-point mount were used, the pace would be better at AMD. Temperatures on AMD aren't terrible, but could be better.

It was easy to install and incredibly quiet so far. I can barely hear the fans and the pump is quiet. You can't hear them at all with headphones. The only issue is that some of the fins on the heatsink are slightly bent, but that doesn't seem to affect the cooling performance.

Since switching to this cooler I've seen some of the best thermals I've had. Looks great, performance is fantastic on my i9 9900k overclocked to 5.0Ghz! We ran a couple of hour-long stress tests and we peaked at 74C but always stabilized at 64-66. Since the i9 gets very hot, I will take it all day. 10/10

I have a Ryzen 5 3600x and 3080ti. I configured the AIO as an exhaust. Idling around 55°C, but under load I get around 68°C, sometimes reaching 70°C. These are still good temperatures, but not much better than my gamaxx air cooler. I even have a push-pull configuration. Maybe I overestimated the cooling capacity of the AIO? It is possible that my evga 3080ti is getting too hot, which increases the average temperature in my case when idle. Overall a good first AIO. But for those with a powerful…
