Lian Li Galahad II Trinity Performance 360

Two whitelisted testers, Tom's Hardware and TechPowerUp, both lab-tested this exact 360mm Galahad II Trinity Performance and crown it a class-leading 360mm AIO on raw cooling at a reasonable $169.99, while flagging very loud full-speed fans (55.2 dBA on Tom's Hardware, 63 dBA on TechPowerUp). Every quote and measured figure below was reconfirmed against the published review text. (2 sourced reviews, 2 lab-tested.)

Praised: Class-leading / best-in-class 360mm cooling performance; Reasonable $169.99 price for the performance delivered; Fast, easy installation with pre-installed fans.

Flagged: Very loud fans at full speed (55.2-63 dBA measured); Plastic AMD AM4/AM5 mounting clips feel less premium; Fan ARGB lighting kit costs extra / ARGB not for everyone.
