Asetek, innovator of gaming hardware for next-level immersive gaming experiences and the creator of the all-in-one (AIO) liquid cooler, today announced that new OEM Partner LIAN LI makes available its Galahad II LCD CPU Coolers, leveraging the superior thermal and acoustic performance and reliability associated with Asetek's most advanced technology to date. The Galahad II LCD AIOs will enable enthusiasts to boost CPU overclocking capability for extreme performance and gamers to enjoy rock-solid stability for immersive gaming.

Asetek and LIAN LI collaborated to create the Galahad II LCD CPU coolers, which are powered by Asetek's Gen8 technology, and are available in black or white in 280 mm or 360 mm radiator sizes for a variety of form factors and cooling requirements. The coolers include a 2.88" LCD screen with 480x480 resolution to display various system information, such as CPU/GPU temperature and load, pump RPM, and coolant temperature. The updated L-Connect 3 software offers users a host of features to allow them to customize the LCD display. In addition to uploading custom videos, the software has built in functions to allow users to record gameplay videos and images for display on the pump cap, a first-of-a-kind feature for AIOs in this premium category. Trim and upload the video portion you want using the included video editor. The L-Connect 3 software also comes with a variety of included presets and filters that users can apply to any imported images and GIFs.



Designed from the ground up and optimized for Intel 13th and 12th Gen processors as well as AMD Ryzen 7000 and 5000 Series processors, Asetek's latest liquid cooling technology includes a plethora of innovations that deliver up to 2°C/100 W improvement over its industry leading Gen7 liquid cooling technology.

By focusing on how the individual components that constitute an all-in-one liquid cooler interact with each other and how collectively they affect performance, Asetek's most advanced technology to date includes:
  • A new performance-engineered pump featuring a 3-phase motor for higher flow and quieter operation
  • Larger diameter rubber tubes, larger HEX tubes and tanks, as well as wider and smoother flow paths in the pump to reduce impedance
  • A newly designed square cold plate optimized for the latest Intel and AMD processors
  • Optimized HEX designs that increase overall surface area and, at the same time, reduce air flow impedance
  • Under-the-hood system enhancements resulting in even quieter operation versus previous generations
"When we decided to develop our latest CPU coolers, we partnered with Asetek to leverage its industry-leading liquid cooling technology, renowned for thermal and acoustic performance and reliability," said Jameson Chen, CEO at LIAN LI. "Our Galahad II LCD all-in-one liquid coolers provide excellent performance, quiet operation, and customizability."

"We were thrilled when LIAN LI came to us to develop a premium line of CPU coolers," said John Hamill, Chief Operating Officer at Asetek. "By further optimizing the thermal and acoustic performance of our technology, we believe the new Galahad II LCD AIOs will further enhance the appeal of the LIAN LI brand, which is synonymous with high-performance solutions that hit the mark with both PC enthusiasts and gamers."

"Meet the new boss...same as the old boss" - The Who

Not sure how this same ole same same Assetek stuff is considered as "premium" or "advanced" when they say it is optimized for cpu's that are 1 & 2 gens behind....surely both companies knew a while ago that the 14th gen cpu's would be out by now, and would run even hotter than their predecessors, yes ? Hopefully they considered that in their specs/design work :D

And since LL is involved, I'm fairly sure the main thing "premium" and/or "advanced" will be in the exorbitantly high asking prices :(

Gen 8 Asetek is noticeably better than gen7. Much bigger coldplate and larger tubes for one. The Phanteks and Asus gen8 are among the best performing AiO that you can buy right now. But it's expensive. Unlike before Asus and Phanteks didn't use the same pump for their lower end SKU, they used a different OEM altogether. Gen8 is only found on premium SKU, so it's always going to be expensive.

Not sure this is a fair comment.

First, a high-end IPS 500-nit LCD with software control is always going to increase the price. If you don’t want the higher price of the LCD, check out the Galahad II Trinity which is similar.

The 8th-generation Asetek has made is different from the 7th; I say that as someone who wasn’t impressed with the 7th-gen (it’s fine, but not standout).

Lian Li added some useful touches like the 45-degree rotatable fittings, and the modular fans which clean up cable routing, and went with a 30mm radiator (many have 25-27mm).

Li has a six year warranty on this.

I’d wait for reviews (currently only one but it was positive, from THG) before jumping to conclusions.
