Introduction

Thank you to Lian Li for supplying the review sample.

Lian Li has a long and storied history with a reputation for excellence that can be traced back to 1983 when the company was founded. While traditionally Lian Li was a bit slow to enter new market segments, they have since begun to tackle new challenges and markets head-on. From their world renowned cases, to fans, coolers, accessories and even power supplies, the company continues to stay relevant in an ever changing industry, more importantly they are thriving, with recent releases like the UNI FAN P28 proving to be truly excellent performers.


Today's review focuses on the Lian Li Galahad II Trinity Performance 360 AIO, which is part of the company's second generation of Galahad liquid coolers. As the name implies, it is the top-performing product in the family, and as such, my expectations are quite high. The Trinity Performance model features a 32 mm thick radiator using double wave fins along with 28 mm thick fans for maximum cooling potential. Add in a 4200 RPM pump with multiple customization options alongside a 5-year warranty, and you have a truly intriguing liquid cooler. So without further delay, let's take a closer look at the unit itself and how it compares to the competition.

Packaging

The box is quite colorful but primarily uses a black and blue theme with other visual elements to get your attention. On the front is a render of the Galahad II Trinity Performance 360 (man, talk about a mouthful for a product name). Thankfully I am happy to report that Lian Li keeps things simple to a certain degree by listing the 5-year warranty on the front, which is certainly a plus. A quick turn to the left side lists a host of features, such as the ultra-performance pump with its 4200 RPM motor. Lian Li also mentioned the tubing's inner diameter being increased from the typical 5.8 mm to 7 mm. Finally, they also touch on the radiator and its double-stacked fins. Moving to the back of the unit lists more features along with images showing them off. Such as the 45° radiator swivel fittings, the top pump options, the refined cold plate, and dual-mode fans (2300 max RPM L-mode and 3000 max RPM H-mode), among other features.


The right side, like the left, also denotes the Galahad II Trinity Performance 360's various features, this time focusing on the new cold plate design and the use of Lian Li's L-Connect 3 software. Meanwhile, the top continues the trend of listing various features. However, flipping to the bottom has the unit's actual specifications and supported sockets detailed.

Contents

As is the case with the majority of liquid coolers, the Lian Li Galahad II Trinity Performance 360 comes packaged in a cardboard tray that keeps the radiator, pump, fans, and accessories contained and protected. A foam piece on top adds a bit of extra protection and keeps parts and components from shifting.


The cooler does support most mainstream sockets from AMD and Intel, including AM4 and AM5 of the former and LGA115x, LGA1200, and LGA1700 of the latter.
