So I got this cooler and I'm just floored by how cool everything runs with it and it's quiet. Like... quiet... Lian Li has knocked it out of the park this year. The new EVO XL is incredibly well built and thought out, their new fans are just stupendous, and their new AIO's are exceptional. And they have what I think is the best anti-sag solution on the market now too (with the new EVO XL). This is what I want to see from companies - making quality parts and products and giving you your money's worth and then some.
I like that it is coming already prepared straight out the box, and also i like the size of the contact plate that thing is HUGE. The competition is rising on CPU coolers side and at this rate we will have the next shift in pc cooling engineering for consumers
Just standard, nothing drastic, look into the TEC cooler from EK || Intel and then discuss available PC cooling engineering for consumers. These became common from both EK and Cooler Master back when 10th Gen was "notoriously" HOT! EK makes the TEC cooler for open loop while Cooler Master had the "ML 360 Sub Zero Tec" back then that was a 360mm RAD closed loop AIO TEC cooler. Very very neat package. If your serious about expressing cooling availability for consumers and can tackle an i9 13900KS chip open loop, SLAP that EK TEC on the chip and watch those temps go FROSTY! With that said stay frosty! Peace!
@@MagicMojitos TEC coolers from EK are not brillant tho, they cant cool it sustainabily they where only designed for short burst application but any sustained load they just become a normal water block.
The center caps do not fit very well either, and they also amplify the humming on the pump. Drives me mad when I'm having quiet time just browsing or working at the PC.
I’ve had the V1 since it debuted and, aside from a few reboots here and there (updates and such) it’s been fairly silent. The whole unit has really. And I’m running front mounted and tubes up. Not even a slight gurgle.
I've been using my old but still working amazing corsair h115i rgb platinum 280mm and have been worried how much life I actually have left in this old aio. Has kept my old 6700k at 4.8ghz at 1.4v cool then kept my 10700k at 5.1ghz on all 8 cores at 1.38v cooled for years and this year it's being used to keep my 13700k in check easily. For the price I paid for this aio its been one hell of a great unit. But if it fails I'm really liking this lian-li aio. Hate rbg more and more the older I get "used to love it" and recently took out all my rgb strips and razer rgb controller and rgn fans out to make it more stealth looking and this would be perfect with just the block that lights up like I have now. Plus it performs so well to keep a 13900k under control. Just hope it's compatible with future intel cpu's LGA 1851 coming out next year. Or if lian-li will sell a mounting kit like corsair did for a few bucks for lga 1700 which I bought for my h115i.
I believe it would be highly beneficial if more PC builders showed greater interest in replacing the stock CPU frame bracket with aftermarket alternatives like those from Thermal Grizzly. By doing so, users could also apply a substantial amount of thermal paste to ensure complete coverage. This approach has been demonstrated by the Gamers Nexus channel to significantly lower CPU temperatures. The replacement frame bracket has proven to provide more even pressure distribution, leading to improved heat dissipation and ultimately resulting in cooler CPU operating temperatures.
What would be better EK Nucleus 360 or Lian-Li Galahad II Trinity Performance 360 in a 6 fan config? Need to know what wins for 350W++++ for overclocking?
12:44 all P cores on 5.5GHz and all E cores on 4.3GHz with only 1.154V... so little voltage for all of those cores and plus those high frequencies - I am amazed man.
I have the performance model with some infinity fans on the front of my case set up push/pull. AIO does a great job keeping my CPU cooled under all conditions.
I keep reading that the pump dies after a few months of usage. Is the pump really that bad or just bad luck? I am trying to decide whether to take performance or the LCD AIO.
best CPU cooler I have ever tested is the alphacool eisbear aurora pro. which is meant for threadripper and HEDT but it works great on 1700 intel. HUGE block and pump. I have the 420mm version in push/pull and can not get my 13900KS to throttle.
Alphacool Eisbaer Pro Aurora has a suberb fan there and copper radiator. You won't find many AIOs coming with better fans and I can't even think about a big list of AIOs with copper radiators. The only problem with the Alphacool is the same we have in every other AIO: low water flow due to pump limitation. This pump's maximum flow rate is just 72 L/h in 100%, while custom watercoolers start from 600. For an AIO it delivers premium performance compared to other sealed builds you can get on the market from corsair/lian li/cm/deepcool etc. Its like taking the best Toyota and comparing to a Ferrari, it will work great, but will never be crazy like an expensive and complex supercar.
I'm not a big fan of gimmicky AIO's, but I did purchase this and plan on removing the crappy fans and putting my 140mm Noctua Industrial 3000 RPM fans on it to cool a 5800X3D. I just hope it doesn't blow too much hot air in my case with a 4090 in it.
@joni6296 Hi, for your information the video showed the new Galahad trinity, and i meant to name the new EK nucleus 360. Please don't take it as if lines F***up mean that everyone else are the same but not GN (i am a GN subscriber too), tech notic and SO many other tech reviewers are great, smart and focus on their job, you can't say (just reliable than any other channels) come on open your mind.
end up pick lian li galahad i, because someone sell it for a cheap price lmao, i swap the three fan radiator with my own p12max artic fan and it's run really well, fan not too noisy despite the high rpm
Got mine in January (probably V1), 2 weeks ago the pump started making a loud grinding noise and yesterday it died... Be careful what version you guys get
I would recommend using a Thermalright CPU Contact Frame for LGA 1700 Retrofit Kit, which will prevent the CPU from being buckled lowering the CPU temps by 5C*-10C*.. Would highly recommend!
I have the 240 white sl-inf. It performs good too. I only find the included thermal paste a little too thin so I applied my preferred one directly to the cpu.
have you tested the 240mm version? I am building my new machine using a Phanteks NV9 Case. The rear of the case has the perfect spot to place the 240 on, but not sure how this will be different to the 360 on a 1400K Intel CPU! I look forward to your reply and kind advice.
What d'you end up going with? The 240mm version supposedly beats out many "lesser" 360 aio's. Ordered one, so we'll find out soon. My mugen ain't hackin' it on my 13700k. Also completely clogging up my mid-size case with its girth.
May I ask if you know how this cooler compares (for 13900K/14900K) to the blazingly expensive: ASUS ROG RYUJIN III 360 ARGB? My favorite is still Arctic II 420, but the design of the pump is somehow strange compared to Lian Li and ASUS. I still cannot find out of why the user may buy ASUS ROG RYUJIN III 360 ARGB instead of much cheaper alternatives. I put aside the brand and the display that comes with the ASUS variant. Of course, there is Lian Li option GA II LCD that is still much cheaper than ASUS.
You should test EK Nucleus AIO, Phanteks Glacier One T30 V2 (or any AIO with Asetek gen 8 pump) and Deepcool LS/LT720. These 3 might beat the Lian Li Galahad performance.
I do not recommend purchasing this AIO. I bought one in November 2023 and last week it failed. The pump started making a fairly loud noise for 2 days and on the third day it completely failed. Temperatures soar above 100° and the PC is unusable. Several users of this AIO are reporting the same thing, pump failures after a few months. I am waiting for a response from Lian Li since the AIO claimed to have a 5-year warranty.
The original Lian Li Galahad just died on me after only about 2 years. Pump failure. Just replaced it with an NZXT Kraken. The original Galahad had a LOT of failures and many people on Reddit have been reporting issues with them, so I'd hope this revision has iterated on reliability.
to see full potential of AIO it is better to use something like constant load - rendering , etc. Cinebench has little pauses between passes, so CPU has room/time to drop temperatures. IMHO :)
Lauri, I've been binging on your content non-stop over the past few days. Your stuff is a breath of fresh air on RU-vid in terms of PC builds for creators. More power to you. It would be a bonus for some if you could make some content for beginners on hardware considerations catered towards music production for home studios. Just a thought.
Jayztwocents did a unboxing/review and assembly of this test bench and mentioned what the company was in the video. I forget who makes it but you could find out there.
This AIO is a beast! I’ve got the 240mm version (non performance) and it keeps my Ryzen 7 5800x (which also runs hot) running very well - doesn’t thermal throttle during a Cinebench R23 run either. I game at 4K and have no seen the CPU hit higher than 70 degrees Celsius.
Una cosa son los test sintéticos y otra bastante distinta es jugar a 4K, por ende. Revisa las temperaturas de tu CPU en juegos a 4K y comparará con tu AIO y así podrás decir si estás bien o no, pero no bajo el referente de la prueba Sintetica
@@3LbR I am comparing this to my previous Lian Li Gallahad 240mm which would always thermal throttle when running Cinebench R23. The fact that the new Trinity AIO can keep it from not thottling and temps under 70 degrees while 4k gaming is pretty good. I know 4K gaming is 99% GPU dependant, but compared to my previous AIO.. i was hitting around 80degrees while gaming.
@@yooanto9465well, if you have the ability to buy 13700k or even a mere 13500. Spending $8-10 to make your cpu have proper contact for longetivity & easily running 5c-10 degree cooler than not using it. it just a no brainer to add it.
very, very nice, i was hesitating to replace my malfunctioning msi coreliquid v2 by a strix lc2 or the galahad, with the new version with inf sli fans i just found my futur aio i think, just one question if i may, between galahd 2 and galahad 2 performance is there significant difference of perf?just to know if 25$ price difference is worth it for my i5 12600k^^
This is mental. My 4070ti in full load isnt this power hungry. I need to show this video when people say ryzen is good for winters. Glad you repaste it
So what case fans match the ones that come on this cooler? I'd like them all to match, but I definitely want this cooler. I need 3 120mm fans and 1 140mm fan.
@@InfiniteVideoMedia I'm thinking the P28's are closest, but not exact. These cooler fans spin even faster and don't daisy chain like the P28's and other Uni fans. They don't have a 140mm equivalent yet either from what I can tell. I might just replace all the fans on the cooler, so they match, but these have a much higher static pressure. The other option is to get the LED side plates for these and match it with SL case fans it looks like.
Can tell by your paste spread your CPU has the bending issue and needs the contact frame. Would def knock temps down because you're not making great contact at the center of the chip.
How can I get a very close performance from the 240 mm version of this? Since the cooler you recommend is expensive, I'm thinking of buying this Gametech Hydra 240 mm cooler what do you say?
How loud is the pump noise at idle on a quiet setting? I have a h150i and it's really annoying so I wanna change it. This is the new iCUE Link one, the older Capellix one was not amazing either but a little better.
Today i will switch from the Arctic Freezer 3 280mm RGB white to the GA II TRINITY PERFORMANCE 360 White RGB - The Arctic LF 3 reahed its limits with 255 Watts at a AMD 5950x. THanks to this VIdeo i found a better Cooler and my concerns are blown away ! Gorgeours Video- i ve watched a lot now and always funny and informativ ! THanks !
2 Month later......its an awsome AIO the performance is incredible - it can handle 270 Watts at AMD 5950x at 82 °C ar 24 °C Ambiente -- i beliebve the most pwoerfull AIO for a while....2024 still did not show up with stronger performances....ne AIO are out since Computex... but yet no tests seen
@@safinmahmud4927 waaay much better - no doubt. Stonger cooler, stronger fans, denser fins on radiator...I mena come on it LinaLI not a cheap Arctic Product...there are Worlds in between
Not sure if that is capable at 325w, while it said No on thermal throttling the temps are already 95c in red and that was only 4th run, meaning that on the 10min duration it probably would have throttled already. I'm guessing 288w was the max dissipation, the Arctic 360 III with the p12 max was capable of 300w.
I have an h150i elite capellix and I get a lot of throttling anytime I try to OC or push the PL beyond 253. Do you think this AIO would be able to handle 300 watts without throttling? I got the 13900k so I could do a little bit of OC. I'm not expecting to win any records, I just want to push it a bit without seeing red. 🙂 I don't have the skills or money to do my own custom loop. I'm running in a O11 Dynamic Evo so can't do a 420mm.
Hey! Great review! I was wondering. Is it the stock fans that comes with the AIO that makes in that good ? If I replace the stock fans with SL Infinity, what will happen with the performance, compared to the stock fans ?
You'll definitely lose some performance replacing the fans on this cooler with the SL Infinity fans but I think it'll still perform better than a non-performance version AIO.
Dang... now I want one. Luckily I can't find a single vendor who has the Performance version in stock. Plenty of normal Trinity ones to be had, but no Performance. And I'm very sure they did sell them over here not too long ago. Supply chain issues, perhaps?
Could You please compare this Lian Li to Phanteks Glacier One 360 T30 Gen2? I need replace my Endorfy Navis 360 into something better and i dont know which one :(
I want t A 280 version. What is the best aio and separate buyable 4 140 fans for cooling i want it to be quite, but be able to 0erform even loud, when its needed.
I have a 1 year old Arctic liquid freezer ii 360 rev3. With an i9 14900k. sometimes the cpu runs on 80-85celsius, while i'm playing. Is this coller better, than my Arctic? is it worth to change?
