A few simple words about the Lian Li Galahad II LCD 360 that recently came into my hands.
This is an AIO that stands out in the market. Initially, its design has the minimal aesthetic that I really like – the build quality is flawless and the attention to detail makes the difference, with materials like aluminum and sturdy plastics giving a premium feel. I chose it in black, and it truly upgraded the aesthetics of my system.
• Cooling Performance
The cooling performance is excellent. Even with demanding applications and an overclocked processor, the temperatures remained stable, which I really appreciated as I wanted a solution that wouldn’t disappoint me under high demands. The three 120mm fans with PWM functionality effectively manage the temperature, while also being silent, even when running at high speeds. Thus, I could work or play without being disturbed by noise.
• LCD Screen and Customization
My favorite feature, of course, is the 2.88-inch LCD screen on the pump. Simply stunning! I can customize the screen as I wish – it displays information about the CPU and GPU temperatures, and I can even put GIFs and personal graphics, which made my setup stand out even more.
• Installation and Compatibility
The installation was easier than I expected. The package came with detailed instructions, and the mounting kit supports all the major sockets on the market (Intel and AMD), so I didn’t encounter any compatibility issues. However, I would suggest that those considering installing it in a smaller case check the size first, as the 360mm radiator requires ample space.
• L-Connect 3 Software and RGB
L-Connect 3 is much improved compared to previous versions and easy to use. Through it, I can adjust the fan speeds, the lighting, and make adjustments to the LCD screen. The ARGB lighting of the fans allows me to synchronize the lighting effects with other RGB peripherals of my system, which adds to the overall effect.
