Lian Li GA II LCD 360MM AIO Liquid Cooler

Espere un mes para poder tener una opinion mas concreta sobre este AIO y de momento no he tenido ningun problema con el salvo a que por opcion estetica opte por cambiarle los ventiladores de stock por los lian li infinity , lo uso en un Ryzen 7 5800X3D que tienen fama de ser muy exigentes con el enfriamiento y de un principio, en Cinebench al realizar las pruebas de estres este alcanzaba hasta los 90°C lo que me preocupo por que creia que la bomba de la misma no estaba funcionando como deberia ya que no se escuchaba para nada, hasta que investigue que el procesador suele aprovechar un mejor enfriamiento pero este se calienta de mas, una vez que realice ciertos ajustes y aplicarle undervolt todo ha ido de maravilla, lo maximo que se calienta es a 78°C en pruebas de cinebench y en IDLE 45°C, al jugar no pasa de los 65°C mi procesador los unicos detalles malos que tiene esta unidad es que la pasta termica que tiene no es la mejor, asi que seria mejor buscar algo de mejor rendimiento y el otro es que los ventiladores funcionan en cadena pero no tienen adaptador para conectar los puertos ARGB individualmente

Before this cooler I had the DeepCool LT720 with push-pull fans. It was okay but the 14900ks needed something better.

With this cooler. My 14900ks idles in the mid 30’s, and won’t throttle under a sustained load of 340 watts for 30 minutes. It won’t throttle until it hits about 355 watts. As you can see in the 2nd picture, my CPU was drawing around 331 watts for several minutes and never went above 91⁰ Celsius.

This cooler is honestly amazing though. I already had Phanteks D30 fans in my case so I removed the Lian Li fans and put on matching D30 fans to keep the aesthetic. But I know for sure the Lian Li fans are great. I put them in another build.

Pump noise is non existent.

I cant say it’s the very best value for your money. It was super expensive. You’ll get just as good of performance from a EK Nucleus 360 Dark for like $100 less. But this cooler looks amazing, so it was worth the money.

Update:
Lian Li’s customer support stopped communicating with me after their troubleshooting steps failed to resolve the LCD screen issue. I’ve sent multiple communications to my rep to get my RMA processed, but I’ve been ghosted. So, the LCD screen is DOA, and their support is DOA.
Pro:
The AIO was easy to install and reasonably straightforward, although the system wiring was more challenging than needed. Cooling has been good after installation. I’m getting 38-45 degrees Celsius on idle or minimal load. A couple of passes through Cinebench multi-core tests produced a high of 88 degrees Celsius under full load, better than the 92 degrees I experienced with a Deepcool LS720 I used before.
Con:
Let’s talk about the LCD screen. On the first boot, I got it to display without issue. However, it wasn’t natively discovered by the Lian Li 3 Connect version I used. So, I updated the L-Connect software and got it to report. When I went to update the firmware on the device, I got an “Update failed. Reboot system and try again…” (or something along those lines. I haven’t gotten the LCD screen to light up since then. In my experience, the firmware update failure bricked the unit, so now I have a really expensive (but quality AIO) without the premium feature I purchased. Other than the cooling, I wanted to use the LCD screen for this since I was moving to a new case and removing the LCD screen I used to monitor my old Jonsbo D41 case. Also, I utilize SL120 and 140 V2 Uni fans from Lian Li, so this is a good way to integrate everything into one controller. I can’t integrate the cooler wiring into my Lian Li controller, which is fine, but the inability to even manage the cooler via L-3 Connect creates a problem.

Final Thought: Get the version without the LCD screen if you are on the fence, or wait for the Deepcool Mystique AIO to come back in stock if you need the LCD screen. Also, NZXT Kraken is inexpensive for 360mm AIOs with an LCD screen, which I ultimately purchased to replace my bricked Galahad II LCD screen. I want my RMA to go through with Lian Li; otherwise, I will just pay the cost of the device for poor manufacturing quality on their part.

I loved the look and functionality of the LCD screen on this cooler and it was worth the extra money to get it. It displays CPU, GPU, and RAM load as well as CPU and GPU temps at a glance, depending on which screen you choose. Really sharp with the subtle RGB border. It keeps my Ryzen 7 7800X3D sub 65°C and I couldn’t be happier!

me gusto mucho , pero debes de configurar los ventiladores con una curva “Agresiva” para el que el I9-13900 no pase de los 97°, al principio costo trabajo montar el enfriamiento (mi primera chamba), si tienes un HUB de RGB solo…

So far so good. The instructions are a bit light on detail but good enough for me. The fans are pretty loud on high speed but move a lot of air. I didn’t want any RGB so I can’t comment on how it plays with that, although it seems alright. Thermals seem fine
