Lian Li Galahad 360 liquid cooler review
A knight to fight off CPU heat
Today, we are reviewing an AIO cooler from Lian Li: the Galahad 360. Sir Galahad was the noblest and purest knight of the Round Table, son of Lancelot and Elaine: gained the Holy Grail. It’s a debut for this brand in that sector. Will it be a good one cooler? We’ve received a 360 mm variant of this LCS. There’s also 240 mm one, and you can get them in black (or rather silver in reality), or in white. The Lian Li Galahad 360 uses a very popular All-in-One formula, with the radiator, pump, and fans (3 x 120 mm in this case) coupled into a single, closed-loop. The three PWM (and RGB) fans are capable of moving up to 69.17 cubic feet of air per minute, at speeds ranging from 800 to 1,900 RPM.
The Galahad 360 supports all major motherboard RGB systems, such as Asus Aura, as well as manual control via the included RGB controller. Eleven addressable RGB LEDs embedded in the pump head and 12 addressable RGB LEDs in each fan (a total of 47 for the GALAHAD AIO 360 and 35 LEDs for the GALAHAD AIO 240) allow users to customize the lighting effects to match their builds freely. With the included controller, switching between 17 lighting effects is a breeze. Modes 11~17 are monochrome colours (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and white). The GALAHAD AIO is compatible with most mainstream CPU sockets such as Intel’s LGA 115X, LGA 1366, LGA 775, 1200, 2011, 2066 and AMD’s AM4.
The CPU block pump features an aluminium housing and a removable aluminium cap that shine and reflect your system’s lighting delicately on the surface to produce a variety of hues and bring a minimalistic elegance to your build. The radiator is of standard size, namely 397.5mm in length for the 360 mm model, with 2.7 cm in thickness and 12.2 cm in width. The radiator has aluminium fins instead of copper ones, which would have allowed for faster heat transfer (but also cost significantly more). The MSRP is 149 USD for the 360 mm version, and you get five years of warranty here. Now, let’s check what this AIO has to offer.
A quick reminder: we’ll also show you results for an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, not just the Intel Core i9 9900K this time.
Lian Li SP850 (850W PSU) review
We’re putting the new Lian Li SP850 power supply on our test bench today. The company is mainly known for making chassis, like the O11 series (with ones like the Dynamic, Mini, or the recently checked Evo), the AIO coolers named Gallahad, RGB PSU extension cables (Strimer, which already has the 2nd version), and fans from the Unifan series. They even made a gamer’s desk DK05-F. It is another/higher-wattage version of the SP power supply series. We already checked the SP750, which we checked almost a year ago, and it earned an “Approved” award.
Lian Li O11 Dynamic Evo chassis review
This time, we’re checking out the Lian Li O11 DYNAMIC EVO, a successor of the O11 Dynamic chassis, which we reviewed four years ago. The Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO appears to have changed very little from the original. You can now install a 280mm radiator in the side location, and there are mounts for eleven (but nine are provided in the bundle) storage drives rather than six. It was showcased in February 2021 and June 2021 and was introduced to the market in December 2021. In the meantime, we also got to check the Mini version (and Air Mini has also been introduced, the XL is also worth mentioning). But getting back to the Dynamic Evo – it’s a (rather extensive) ATX mid-tower chassis with around 61 l of volume. The looks are definitely something familiar but a bit refined. Again, like in the predecessor – we won’t find fans here.
Lian Li SP750 (750W PSU) review
We’re putting the new Lian Li SP750 power supply on our test bench today. The company is rather known for making the chassis, like the 011 series (with ones like the Dynamic or Mini) or the cooling like AIO named Gallahad. They even make a gamer’s desk DK05-F. Ok, but let’s get back to the reviewed product. The PSU (that makes the Lian Li return into the PSU business) has been based on the platform from Helly Technology (a less known OEM producer), so it looked like a bit risky move. How it’ll turn out in the final – we’ll see later.
Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini chassis review
This time, we’re checking out the Lian Li O11D Mini, a smaller version of the well-known O11D series. We reviewed the regular version over 2.5 years ago, and it earned our “Recommended” award. This time, it’s a smaller case, but still a very spacious one. It looks like an ITX/mATX chassis, but can house up to ATX-size motherboard
