Lian Li GA GALAHAD II 360- Asetek 8th Gen- 2.88” IPS LCD screen- Screen recording for videos and photos -Pre-installed ARGB d...

After my ROG died I decided to give this one a try on my 11th gen I-9. Right out of the gate this thing works so perfectly that my AI has my processor running constantly between 5.1 and 5.2, with ambient temperatures not exceeding 37, typically between 31 and 33. Is absolutely unreal, and that's just talking about the pump as a whole. Getting to the screen, the features etc this thing is so much better than the Ryujin III THAT IT IS NOT EVEN A COMPARISON. Yeah. That good.

Update: Lian Li's customer support stopped communicating with me after their troubleshooting steps failed to resolve the LCD screen issue. I've sent multiple communications to my rep to get my RMA processed, but I've been ghosted. So, the LCD screen is DOA, and their support is DOA. Pro: The AIO was easy to install and reasonably straightforward, although the system wiring was more challenging than needed. Cooling has been good after installation. I'm getting 38-45 degrees Celsius on idle or minimal load. A couple of passes through Cinebench multi-core tests produced a high of 88 degrees Celsius under full load, better than the 92 degrees I experienced with a Deepcool LS720 I used before. Con: Let's talk about the LCD screen. On the first boot, I got it to display without issue. However, it wasn't natively discovered by the Lian Li 3 Connect version I used. So, I updated the L-Connect software and got it to report. When I went to update the firmware on the device, I got an "Update failed. Reboot system and try again..." (or something along those lines. I haven't gotten the LCD screen to light up since then. In my experience, the firmware update failure bricked the unit, so now I have a really expensive (but quality AIO) without the premium feature I purchased. Other than the cooling, I wanted to use the LCD screen for this since I was moving to a new case and removing the LCD screen I used to monitor my old Jonsbo D41 case. Also, I utilize SL120 and 140 V2 Uni fans from Lian Li, so this is a good way to integrate everything into one controller. I can't integrate the cooler wiring into my Lian Li controller, which is fine, but the inability to even manage the cooler via L-3 Connect creates a problem. Final Thought: Get the version without the LCD screen if you are on the fence, or wait for the Deepcool Mystique AIO to come back in stock if you need the LCD screen. Also, NZXT Kraken is inexpensive for 360mm AIOs with an LCD screen, which I ultimately purchased to replace my bricked Galahad II LCD screen. I want my RMA to go through with Lian Li; otherwise, I will just pay the cost of the device for poor manufacturing quality on their part.

Overall, I am very happy with this AIO. It is installed on an Intel 14900K, with idle temps around 28-30C (ambient between 22-25C). I used a different thermal paste (Arctic MX-6) than what was pre-installed on the AIO, and am happy with the results. The Asetek 8th Gen pump provides peace of mind, and the radiator and fans provide ample cooling ability. Cinebench R23 does see near 100C temps during multiple runs, but only 3 of the cores actually reached that temp, and the throttling was minimal (40000 multicore). I have not attempted any undervolting at the time of this review, so temps might be more under control afterwards. As for the software, there are (were) minor bugs that I have experienced, but I have also seen said bugs get patched with frequent software/firmware updates. With L-Connect 3 v2.0.4 and LCD firmware 0.9, I have a stable solution, with no more issues. Lian Li seems keen to work hard at fixing these issues, and quickly, providing frequent updates as they solve more issues with a brand new product. Hats off to them for the excellent customer service in that regard. System fans are all Lian Li, plugged into a hub, and MSI Mystic Light used to set G.Skill RAM and MSI 4090 Suprim Liquid X 24G RGB. I have had no conflicts with any of the RGB in my system. For those with software or RGB conflicts/issues, my only advice is to be patient. As I stated above, Lian Li seem like they are focused on providing a great product with great software to support it, but these things take time to work out all the kinks with the massive variety of products that could be combined in a user-built PC.

Really powerful AIO. 8th gen Asetek is an all-new design, and it really shows. The LCD is nice and crisp looking, the fans are stong, and push a lot of air, if you get the non-uni fan version of the AIO. Only downside I can think of is the pump is wee bit too loud when running at 100%, but what fun/pump isnt loud at full speed?

The LCD screen is failing, 1 fan is squealing. I haven't started the warranty process yet because I have to take the whole radiator out of my pc to get to the serial number. Otherwise, works fine, temps stay nice and low on my AMD chip even on the quiet setting. Update: Tried every fix I can find online; screen only flickers worse. 2nd fan bearing failing already. Fighting urge to toss out the window. 3rd fan now squealing.
