Over 1hr reviewing aios? Sounds like my type of content. Excellent work and great attention to detail as always. Havent seen other channels go into this type of depth on these models yet.
I will do my next build in one week, full Lian li (case, tl120 lcd, Galahad sl-inf…) and I have watched almost all TH-cam videos on this topic. This video is the best on it ! Good work !
Thanks for the video. I really like your way of showing everything indepth. This way I could also finally see how the pump head is connected, as most other channels didnt really show that and Im not a big fan of cables going from there to the motherboard. But its a good way to actually see what you get and how it is used properly.
KLEO YOU ARE BACK! HUGGIES, I jumped when I got this notification. I have yet to complete watching but, you have surprise us again. Though it's lenghty with the first 10 minutes, I am impress with your efforts to deliever so much details. I wish other reviewers can do what you are doing. Thank you 😘
Nice review. Only thing I'm missing is real world testing and some benchmarks comparing them with temperatures. How much better does the performance cool compared to the normal Galahad 2 trinity.
Hi TheChaosilator, welcome to my channel. Yup, you are correct, which is now, I am going to use these cooler each for a week, then do a benchmark before I change to another cooler. This way is not just grab and show stats. let it run for a week then to show results.
Welcome back Kleo 😀 Excellent product insight as always. Only negative for me would be the amount of cables running across your MB. I am using an NZXT Kraken at the moment which is not too difficult to keep the cables looking tidy.
Hi David Jeffries, welcome to my channel and thank you for your feedback. I am going to do up another content regarding about the performance, but that will take sometime as I am taking my time to run the liquid AIO each for a full one week.
Hi 1TGF43T1TGFFGT143TR UEFHROWHEF0931434, welcome to my channel. thank you for your input, but the price for me is not that decent. It's expensive in Singapore due to the import tax.
Thank you for your video, I made a mistake to purchase 3-pack SL-INF fans which the cable (7 pin) is not compatible to the Galahad II (SL-INF) AIO controller (4+3 pin). I had tested 3-pack controller (SLV2) which could not detect the Galahad II AIO. Seems I have to purchase another SL-INF fan (1 pack) for the 4+3 pin cable in order to connect 3-pack fans with the Galahad II (SL-INF) AIO controller. Any better idea?😢
Hi Napster Cheung, welcome to my channel. You should swap the controller and use the 7pin on your AIO. Anywhere you will need 2 x 2.0 USB header on your motherboard. one is for your AIO block and another is for your SL INF or SL V2. If you are using all three. You will need got get a usb splitter as your motherboard might only have 2 2.0 USB header.
@@KleoYan Thank you for your prompt reply. The current situation is the RGB of the pump cannot be detect and control using the L-connect 3 with SLV2 controller. When the power is connected, there is light on the pump (red and green). After the normal start up, it will light for a sec. When OS ready, the light will be gone. Everything is working normally and can be comfigured, except the rgb of the pump. (Both AIO and 3 pack SL fan are using 7pin to connect to SLV2 controller). Thank you.
@@napster556 are you able to check on windows under device manager > universal series bus devices, do you see the Lian Li controllers? Or do you just see only the SL V2 controller?
Hi Rebs Rebolledo, welcome to my channel. Yup, in gerneral, all plug and socket will glide into place without too much force. thank you for your emphasis 😉
Hi John Chan, welcome to my channel, thanks for pointing out. yup I notice on the specs. I miss that out as i was measuring it (eyeballing with a measuring tape) thanks again, greatly appreciated it.
@@KleoYan I'm definitely looking into getting the performance version. The angled tubes off the radiator is exactly what I'm looking for. I just happen to have the AP201 case!
@@johnc0817 that’s good. I am sure you will get to enjoy mounting it and of the thermal results. Cables are not as messy as the GA II Trinity SL-INF. All the best with your build too.
My Trinity 360 is about to arrive any minute now and I'm already freaking out over the instruction manual. When it comes to wiring, it is probably the most confusing manual out all the AIOs I've checked out ... and I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to do. For instance: I'm pretty sure the "M"-cable is only needed if you want to control the RGB through your motherboard. But the manual doesn't make things very clear, because it tries to cram in all possible connection scenarios into one diagram. They should've instead provided is with separate how-tos for every scenario possible (control through motherboard vs control through L-Connect, etc) That said: What are your thoughts on L-Connect? Should I use it or should I just control everything through my motherboard or through my case's built in RGB-controller? And should I use L-Connect for everything, including fan/pump RPM? Or should I run those two directly through the board and use the BIOS to control RPM?
Hi 1SaG, welcome to my channel. It depends which GA II Trinity you are using. if you are using original, the connection is pretty straight forward, what will add more to the equation will be the GA II Trinity Inf, as you will need to fiddle which two controllers. one from the block and other is the SL Inf fans. as for all connection to Liquid AIO, I always do this. plug the radiator fans directly to motherboard CPU_FAN and to use motherboard UEFI to set the fans. As for the argb I will use the controller to us L-Connect 3 app to do the effects.
@@KleoYanThanks for responding! To clarify: It is the basic Trinity 360 (Performance version seems to have dropped off the market and INF version is out of stock everywhere over here.. :) ). Meaning I don't have a Lian Li RGB controller and would either have to use L-Connect or my board for RGB. I tried my case's built-in RGB-controller yesterday for the rest of my RGB-stuff and it seems to be a bit limited in its capabilities, so I'm not going to use that one. I ended up running everything through L-Connect and while it does work, fan control is a bit too "hectic" for my taste, with the AiO-fans ramping up/down too often under light to medium loads whenever the CPU gets just a *little* warmer. A more "relaxed" custom curve should help here, I guess. Temperatures under heavy loads (Cinebench, etc) are quite amazing compared to the gen 1 Galahad 240 I used before with the i7-14700KF - so the AIO is doing its job. I went by the manual (I hope) and plugged the fans' PWM and RBG-connectors into the adapter cable that then connects to the pump. The pump's fixed cables are plugged into SATA-power, a USB 2.0 header and the "CPU Fan" header. The slightly annoying thing about that method is that I can't monitor the fans' RPM anywhere except in L-Connect. The motherboard only sees the pump's RPM, which it lists as "CPU" - I guess because I plugged the fixed PWM cable into my "CPU Fan"- and not into my "CPU Pump"-header. I do feel slightly uncomfortable letting an app control my CPU fans, so I would prefer running fan RPM and perhaps pump-RPM through the board. Can I still use L-Connect to control RGB when I do this, or should I rather ditch L-Connect completely and run everything (fan-RPM, pump-RPM, RGB) through my board? It is an MSI Z690 Tomahawk which does have three 5V RGB headers, so I should be fine WRT connections. Also: If I decide to go through the motherboard, do I still need to plug the SATA and USB cables in or will the AiO get powered through the fan-headers like that?
@@1SaG hi Welcome back. as why your motherboard does not read the PWM readings, that because you are connected to the pump controller which you will see in L-Connect 3, what you can do is.. between the cable O and N, at the O end, plug the 4pin pwm to your CPU_FAN header and the argb connect from cable O to N. This will let you see the PWM status on your motherboard but you will need to make use of the UEFI or motherboard utlity to control the fan curve. On my other content, I did it this way for the radiator fans as I prefer to have the motherboard to take control. In the event if the controller of the pump fails, only the argb is affected and not the radiator fans which runs off directly from my motherboard.
I wonder if the pump is really not audible at 3200 rpm, or even below, pace your comment. A change in the noise recorded was clearly noticeable when you raised the pump speed. It seems the pump noise at least makes a significant contribution to the overall noise. Based on what I observed in this video, I'd rather use PWM setting for the pump if I were to use this AIO.
Hi Osar deGozar , welcome to my channel. Thank you for your valuable feedback. I do agree with you as noise is subjective to individual sensitivity. As for the pump to run at PWM. I have witness more cases on pump failure in the past. This is due to the inconsistency of the pump impeller. Maybe newer generation will not be affected but at all times I practice to use a flat rpm. Again thank you for your valuable feedback.
Hi Crem, welcome to my channell the SL Infinity fans come with single pack or tripple pack. if you purchase single pack, the cable that comes with the fan allows you to connect to the hub which comes with the AIO. if you purchase the tripple pack, there are no cables allowing you to connect the fans to the hub as it's of a different connector.
This works well for the Jonsbo Mod 5 as well. The angled tubes allowed me to attach it on the very top and not right next to the motherboard. Really helped with cooling for a push config.
@@shivang0017 hi, do allow me to have a little more time. Am still testing it and additional to this, there is another new AIO coming from Lian Li too. stay tune and thank you.
Hi Julie Fisher, welcome back. Yes infact they are getting better but just that end users like to mix argb ego system which causes issues. As for the cables, I will hightlight this to Lian Li, hopefully the next version will be with better cabling.
@@KleoYan Yes, I had already written my comments, and then you actually raised some of the same issues at the end of the video. So we are both seeing the same problems/opportunities for improvement, to make Lian Li the very best.
@@Jules_Diplopia thanks Julie Fisher, greatly appreciate this. for the moment am consolidating all feedbacks and comments from here and via email, then I will again bring this up to Lian Li.
When placing the pump down on the LGA1700 bracket, did you find that the studs didn’t come up high enough to dry fit? Not sure if it matters, just want to do it correctly.
Hi foxtrotbravo, welcome to my channel. Yes I do notice that. If you look carefully on the screws where the bolt goes at four corners. The thread on the screws are not threaded fully. That’s where it stops the bolts from over tightening. That’s how it supposed to to work. The suspended cross bar act as a retention to hold the coldplate to the IHS, that’s why the four rubber studs that is holding the backplate does not flush.
Your videos are excellent, thank you. I have a question about how to connect the AIO together with the 3 pack SL INF fans and a single SL INF fan? How would I get this configuration to work? Thanks
Hi Sham Ahmed, welcome to my channel. In your case, there are no way to use the controller that comes with the liquid AiO, you will need to swap out the controller to your 3pack set controller. As those come with only 7pin connection. I will advise you to do this. Swap to make use of the tripple pack fan controller. 1) 3 x AIO Radiator fans , use the single pack cable, connect the fan RPM connector directly to your motherboard CPU_FAN header. As for the ARGB connector, plug it to the triple pack controller on sync port 2 - Use your motherboard software or UEFI to control the fan RPM - Use L-Connect 3 app to contorl the argb effects - Reason for this, if your controller failed, your fan will still spin as it is to cool your CPU, which is important. So in the event if your controller failed, only argb is affected. 2) 3 x Case fan, plug using the 7pin cable to port 2 to the tripple pack controller. Use L-connect 3app to controll both fans RPM and argbs effects via L-Connect 3 app 3) 1 x rear fan, plus using the 7pin cable to port 1 to the tripple pack controller. Use L-connect 3app to controll both fans RPM and argbs effects via L-Connect 3 app
Thank you so much for the detailed reply. I really appreciate it. In the above configuration, where would I connect the 4 pin from the AIO unit itself? The other two are USB Header and SATA power. I understand to connect the 4 pin from pump into CPU Header. Finally, would your advice change if I purchase 3 individual SL-INF fans instead? Is that configuration better?@@KleoYan Thank you once again.
@@shamahmed7735 you are most welcome. for the Pump block, the 4pin must directly plug to your motherboard pump header. for Asus is AIO_PUMP and for ASrock is CPU_FAN2/W_Pump, MSI is PUMP_FAN and Gigabyte SYS_FAN#_Pump. If you have gotten the tripple pack. just stick to the configuration I have told you. if you decided to go with Single pack then the connection it's only slight difference but you have total control over the PWM of each set of fans. 1) 3 x AIO Radiator fans , use the single pack cable, connect the fan RPM connector directly to your motherboard CPU_FAN header. As for the ARGB connector, plug it to the triple pack controller port 1 - Use your motherboard software or UEFI to control the fan RPM - Use L-Connect 3 app to contorl the argb effects - Reason for this, if your controller failed, your fan will still spin as it is to cool your CPU, which is important. So in the event if your controller failed, only argb is affected. 2) 3 x Case fan, plug both 4pin (PWM) and 3pin (ARGB) to port 2 Use L-connect 3app to controll both fans RPM and argbs effects Or 2a) plug 4pin(PWM) to Motherboard Fan header and 3pin (argb) to the uni controller Use motherboard to control the fan RPM and L-Connect 3app for the argb effects. 3) 1 x rear fan, plug both 4pin (PWM) and 3pin (ARGB) to port 2 Use L-connect 3app to controll both fans RPM and argbs effects Or 3a) plug 4pin(PWM) to Motherboard Fan header and 3pin (argb) to the uni controller Use motherboard to control the fan RPM and L-Connect 3app for the argb effects.
Hi Ink Ing, welcome to my channel. The illustration above is just showing where to plug those 4pin PWM and yes. You should be either using the CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP. the arrangement are as follow 1) GA II Trinity - Either CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP as CPU_OPT shares the same setting as CPU_FAN (if you choose to bypass L-Connect 3 app and to make use of the motherboard UEFI or Software) 2) GA II Trinity SL-INF - The pump block will goes to AIO_PUMP and the SL-INF 120 will goes to CPU_FAN 3) GA II Trinity Performance - Either CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP as CPU_OPT shares the same setting as CPU_FAN (if you choose to bypass L-Connect 3 app and to make use of the motherboard UEFI or Software)
@KleoYan thanks! Btw, wondering if i wanna control the lian li sl inf fans through the lian li hub (LL l connect thingy), can i connect the fan pwm headers to the cpu fan then the argb header to the l connect hub?
@@inking3035 If you plug your fans PWM connector to your motherboard direct, you will need to use your motherboard UEFI / Software to control the PWM of the fans, else your argb will be controlled using the L-Connect 3app. Infact what you've mentioned is even better as in the event if your uni fan hub failed, only your argb will not light up as your fans pwm are controller directly from your motherboard UEFI/software.
@@Aronzzi89 hi and welcome to my channel. have you tried on another USB 2.0 header on your motherboard? that will be the first thing to test, also is the controller detected in Device Manager under Universal Serial Bus Devices?
Hello ky, welcome to my channel. There are some great difference between normal and the SL-Infinity. 1st the SL-Infinity able to use L-Connect 3 app to perform various patterns for ARGB effects 2nd the air pressure is higher on the SL-Infinity. As for performance, it's about 1 to 2 degrees difference.
I bought a galahad ii 360 trinity sl inf, then connected it to my mobo. But the prob is the aio rgb is not working, im not using the aio’s controller and i dont have complete build yet(no gpu, ssd, ram, monitor). Does the rgb on the pump usually light up right after you power it on or you need the software to actually turn the rgbs on? Im sure the pump is working cuz after i turned on my pc with a cpu, the pc didnt die of overheating(heard people saying cpu without any cooling would turn off under 2 mins).
Hi Mark Cust, welcome to my channel. I use to think like what you think, which is just to connect the ARGB connector of the pump the the ARGB motherboard header. but, it does not work that way. you will need to plug the USB cable between the pump and motherboard, using L-Connect application to control the argb. if you intend to just use the motherboard argb software, you will still need to have L-connect 3 app to set sync to motherboard mode.
How can i connect them to my motherboard which hasn't the ARGB header? I found a solution for ARGB fan by buying ARGB controller and plug it as USB. Is there a way to connect this ARGB cooler too? Maybe just connecting the 3 pin to controller instead of the ARGB header?
Hi Giuseppe, welcome to my channel. You can don't plug the argb connector to your motherboard, so long you have the unit plug to the USB connector, you can control both fans and block argb through L-Connet-3 App.
Will this work for a 13 fan setup? 🔵 6 140mm fans in push/pull on the aio into one controller set to pmw mode (I want these fans controlled by the bios, or running off the main fan headers) 🔵 The remaining 4 140mm, and 3 120mm on the second controller (3x140, 1x140, 3x120) What I'm unsure about is the AIO fans and if I need the fans connected to the MB headers or if they can just run off the controller.
Hi Nucl3ar, welcome to my channel. Yes you can run the radiator fans directly from the motherboard fan header (CPU_FAN1) and plug the argb to your uni fan controller. This is recommended, just incase if the uni controller malfunction. In the event of malfunction, at least you know that your radiator fans are still up and running. Only the argb effects will not work. As for case fans, you can just run directly from the uni controller.
hi Shivang001, do allow me to have a little more time. Am still testing it and additional to this, there is another new AIO coming from Lian Li too. stay tune and thank you.
Excellent overview. Question around pump header placement on the cpu--for an AMD and Intel, you recommend putting the header on the RAM side of the mobo--in inverted builds on the 011 evo, is there an issue having the header on the VRM side opposite the RAM--same horizonal coverage? Or for AMD, does that not line up with the AMD die offset on the bottom?
Hi [NLB] Sun Wolf, welcome to my channel. I did try placing to the VRM side, both workable, it's just that this is my personal preference as your VRM heatsink will have more heat compared to the rams area, this is why i advise to place it towards the ram side. Nevertheless it will work on either side. so long the hose is not pointing downwards. As for the Offset of the AMD vs the coldplate. you are right, it is indeed not align but the flow of the slit inside the coldpate cools better with the orientation I have suggested. You can test it as that's my experience with it. Thanks for visting and all the very best with your build too. 😉
@@Voltomess hi welcome to my channel. For me I have been using these and the LCD version without issues. If you are wary of this, you can look for EK nucleus or the Deepcool Mystique. As for 14900KS. The Galahad II Trinity performance or the Galahad II LCD will be the option. To cool this processor.
Hi cluz, welcome to my channel. Do pardon me, I am not able to understand your sentences. 1st which AIO cables to the motherboard and what do you mean by on the sl in and not the control box.. I am confuse.
Hi 3_Kids_One_ Shot, welcome to my channel. I wish for the 280 too. maybe send your comments at lian li's reddit forum. The do listen and read viewers feedback. www.reddit.com/r/lianli/
Hello, thank you very much for your review. I have a question. I bought -) Galahad II trinity infinity (yes controller) -) 6 single reverse balde (no controller) -) 1 strimer cable only for GPU (no controller) On my motherboard I only have 1 3pin 5V. I linked 3 fans and 3 fans daisy chain. So I linked 2 blocks of fans + AIO to the controller on the aio Now i link controller to motherboard usb and 3 pin 5V BUT where do I link the strimer cable ? I don’t have any 3 pin left on my mobo… Can I buy a splitter 3 pin 5V or my pc will burn ?
Hi Robertorgg, welcome to my channel. for your Galahad Trinity SL Inf, you do not need to plug the argb cable from your pump to your motherboard 5v 3pin argb header. make use of the L-Connect 3 app to control the radiator fans and pump argb. as for your reverse fans, as for your reverse fans, I am not sure how the package is like as I do not owe any, but for your GPU strimer plus, you can plug directly to your motherboard ARGB header. Kindly do not use splitters for both strimer plus + uni fans.
Hey Kleo Yan I'm very curious what's the difference between Lian Li Galahad II Trinity SL INF and the perfomance one in terms of cooling isn't it the same or what I'm a bit confused because I want the RGB version.
Hi SiSone, welcome back. The difference is the performance has a double fin stack but the fans are not arg. You can however purchase add on strips to have ARGB at the side of the fans. As for the SL INF. It’s just like the normal GA II trinity. Just that the fans are of SL Inf with ARGB effects
@@SirSone1 performance are slightly better but I would just stick to GA II Trinity SL INF is you want ARGB. Reason is the temperature results are of only 3 to 5 degrees difference. Btw my room temperature is at 30 degrees celcius when testing a AMD 7950X
Is the Cable on the Inf Fans Unrevomeable? Cuz Basically i could take the Normal Uni Fan inf Controller and use it instead, Would safe me one Sata Power Plug and one Usb 2.0 Port on the MB... im planning to Buy the Trinity SL-INF, but thats so much Cable stuff going on for just the AIO. Im Planning an Full Lian Li Build, so im just asking if it would be Possible to Skip the Controller of the AIO Fans and Controll them with the Normal Inf 120 Mm Controller... is this Possible?
@@KleoYan Thx, atm im Waiting for the Inf 120 Reverse Blade to get Avaible Again, anyways. I found an Post on the Lian Li Reddit, pointing out this Pointless ARGB Hub on the AIO instead using an normal Inf Controller. The Lian Li Tech Support Responded there and Told that it would work out If you take one of the 4 included connections(Of the Inf Fan Triple Pack) and use it, you should be able to use it via the INF controller.If possible I would like to post the link to it as I'm a little confused now. Have you tried it and can you say that it doesn't work or is that just your guess?
@@Qatar-uo9ml hmm. I donno which thread you are referring to. if you got the Trinity SL-Inf Liquid AIO, it somes with the uni controller for your SL-INF, you can purchase single reverseblade, diasy chained them and use the single pack cable to connect to the uni controller. Unless you already purchase a triple pack which comes with a uni fan controller. then swap out the Liquid AIO uni fan controller to the triple pack set. reason is.. a triple pack set comes with 7pin (ARGB+PWM) connectors and not split 3pin (ARGB) and 4pin (PWM), thats why your triple pack fans is not able to connect to the liquid AIO uni fan controller.
So I have had the performance model for a month now and I gotta say that its AMAZING. Unfortunately it might just be my luck , but the pump started rattling a couple of days ago. I don't know if I can or if I should refill it. I can't find the refill port.
Hi Genadi 'Enomir' Georgiev, welcome to my channel, I will advise you to have a replacement. if you did the refill yourself, the warranty will be void. lian-li.com/contact-us/
I appreciate your thorough analysis on these! I had a question if you can help, I want to use the Galahad Trinity 360 AIO with its fans and infinity fans in other parts of the PC, can I use L Connect to control these two different fans?
Hi Invalid English, welcome to my channel. If you are using the GA II Trinity 360, you will need to have the SL-Inf fan controller for your other fans to work in L-Connect 3.
Hi, is it possible to connect more fans to the galahad 2 trinity? There are no connector to a led port and the cables there are included are not the right one. I have 2 more of these fans. I can connect them to the board to get them running but the lightning cant work without the connection.
@@KleoYan Hi, yes they are. I have one more trinity two but its broken. Im using the fans for my case. I cut off the cable and soldered on an ARGB connector. Its working for me. I have now also bought the adapter cable and will use it. So rebuild again. 😂
@@Antidot1981 I see. If you have altered the cables and connecting them directly to the motherboard header and ARGB connect. you will be needing your motherboard to control the PWM and ARGB of these fans. To be honest I can’t picture what you are doing. Just make sure if you are connecting this fans (PWM) to your motherboard header. Do not exceed 3 fans if the header is of 1a load. Good luck and all the best.
Hi. What if i dont put in the usb header. Will the lightings be functional with my mobo? or the usb header is mandatory. Asking because my usb headers are being used by a sl inf fan controller and a razer controller. I dont have any intention of using L connect for the AIO as well
Hi Storm Falcon, welcome to my channel. You will need to plug that and to use L-Connect 3 app to control the ARGB. Even if you want to use motherboard ARGB sync. You still need to set to motherboard sync on L-Connect 3 app
Hello cr9731, welcome to my channel. Pardon me. Do you mind to list done you Lian Li components as I don’t understand what you have mentioned. Thank you.
Hi, even though I don't understand much English, because I'm Brazilian, it's great to see the visual details, if you're with it there, can you tell me if it's a good option for an i7 14kf processor or even an i9 14kf ?
Hi Gouenji Shuuya, welcome to my channel. Yes these looks good and best is Galahad II Trinity Performance. You can watch test here. th-cam.com/video/E-xZTQiJUOQ/w-d-xo.html
Hi kydns, welcome to my channel, after looking at the layout, you got no choice but to place the pump tube downwards which interm there will be increase of thermal.
Hi Kevin Eureka welcome to my channel. for the pump you will need to use the L-Connect 3 app, else for the fans, you can plug the 4pin directly to any of your fan headers but the argb you will still need the connector that is provided. the other end you can plug directly to the argb motherboard header. you will need to figure it yourself on the connection.
I've heasrd the honeycomb pattern doesn't spread enough, and who really cares about a little excess thermal paste. I'd rather put more on the CPU itself and be assured of full coverage.
does the lian li galahad ii trinity sl-inf 360 come with long radiator screws (in case i want to do a push pull configuration) or do i have to buy them separately?
Hi Andy, welcome to my channel. thank you for your feedback, I have no issues with the pump, I adivse you raise an RMA with Lian Li at lian-li.com/faq/, scroll down a currently they are on holidays.
Question.. Can you connect older fans like SL-INF from galahad II along with new versions of fans like ALv2 / SLv2 to the same controller? With new fans comes new version of controller. Is new controlller compatible with older fans?
Hi Bellavi, welcome to my channel. you are not able to do so as the SL V2 and AL V2 have different profiles which you will need different uni controller. This will explain further th-cam.com/video/CgvuUFeff8U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xzSZ0_iNC6QverlV

@@mattiagatti1200 Hi and welcome back. it greatly depends on which processor you will be using. you might want to check out these 8 AIOs which I've tested. th-cam.com/video/ca2zGSQvWog/w-d-xo.html as this test does shows which AIO are good for either Intel or AMD.
HI Jonathan Häußler, welcome to my channel. Yes the SL-INF are running more quiet compared to the original but do take note that the original are designed to have more static pressure. the SL Inf they are general fans for both radiator and also as case fans.
@@KleoYanThanks for the info. I'm going with an arctic liquid freeze 3 after all because I read about a lot of folks having issues with the pump after a few months with the Lian Lis. The Arctic Freezer is apperantly also very quiet (especially the pump) which is important to me.
@30:43 What is the adapter attached to the fans on the AIO called. It’s all the way in the back attached to the fans and splits into two separate black ends ?
Hi Strange Weird and Funny, welcome to my channel. I am still trying to figure out what you are saying. so sorry I don't understand what you mean, mind to eleborate, thank you!
Hi, I followed the whole thing and everything works fine. The issue I have is that the rgb of the pump block in in rainbow mode and wont change with L3 connect. I dont know what the issue is
hi InvisiblatorYT, welcome to my channel, are you able to see under device manager or management, under the Universal Serial Bus Devices. do you see the Lian Li device and version listed? if you dont see that, you might want to change to another USB header on your motherboard and try again.
one last check, did you download the correct L-Connect 3 app? you should get this version Current version: v1.7.2 Posted: 10/20/2023 lian-li.com/l-connect3/
Kleo, can you answer me this. I have connected the aio fans directly to CPU fan header on the motherboard, and then used the 3-pack controller to controll the led (via one of the sync ports). Is that something I should undo and possibly redo?
Hi aurorate, welcome to my channel. I believe you are using the GA II Trinity. As what you've mentioned. Yes you can leave it as it is, but you will need to use your motherboard UEFI or application to control the RPM of your radiator fans. As for the ARGB, that's correct, plug to the uni controller and make use of the L-Connect 3 app to control the argb effects.
Has anyone put the SL infinity Fans onto the Performance AIO Radiator for a Hypothetical Trinity SL-INF Performance 360.? I kinda wanna do it but i dont know if the performance drop would be worth it.
Hi Zade Wolve, welcome to my channel. though I have not release the perfomance content of all these GA II Trinity aio, either the SL-Inf 120 or Performance are both good choice as the fans on the SL-Inf and Performance, both yeild better results. between the SL-Inf and Performance, it's about 3 to 5 degrees difference on default load of a AMD 7950X.
Hello, i'm planning to buy the trinity 360mm default version, from your video seems the fans and pump are controlled from the same fan motherboard port, its possible to control them from different fan ports(pump and the 3 fans) or thats only possible on lian li L connect
Hi vbs, welcome to my channel. the pump as usual, directly to motherboard pump header (W_PUMP / AIO_PUMP / PUMP_FAN) as for your radiator fans, at the end of the fans, plug the 4Pin PWM directly to your motherboard CPU_FAN. as for the 3pin 5v argb, connect to cable N and plug the other end to the pump. This way, you only control the Pump PWM and argb effects of your fans through L-Connect 3 app. Your radiator fans PWM will be controlled directly on your motherboard UEFI/Bios.
@@KleoYan Thanks for the response, the only problem here is my motherboard cpu fan provide max 1A 12v and the fans at max speed need 0.36A, 3 x 0.36 = 1.08A, you think its fine for the motherboard cpu fan this extra 8% power or another option is using the w_pump for the fans, on my motherboard it can provide 3A 12v
@@vbs0you are right. Plug to W_PUMP. That’s the only option and based on the board layout. It’s at the bottom. The cable from your AIO might not reach it. Give it a try. If can’t, you will need to get a fan extension.
Hi SirSone, welcome back again 😁 the GA II trinity are designed for highend processors like the AMD 7950X, 7950X3D and your intel i9 13900K or KS. They will be able to cool your processor.
Hi if galahad 2 trinity sl uses 2 jusb how we use case fan like sl 120 v2. I have 7 sl 120v2 with 1 connector and connector has jusb cable galahad 360 sl inf has 2 but any motherboard hasnt 3jusb right
can i connect my reverse blade fans to the controller included with the aio or do I need and separate cables I'm gonna have 6 reverse (3 on the aio and 3 on the bottom) (then 2 normal ones on the back), will I need any extra cables
Hi NannyMcFence🫠 , you will be able to connect your reverse fans to the uni controller that comes with the liquid AIO. just make sure is of a single pack and not the tripple pack. as tripple pack cables are slightly different.
@@KleoYan I have new GA II trininty INfininty AIO+ 2 set of Lian li fans+2 Strimer I have only 2 usb hub,,cant connect all controllers. If I connect (argb sync cable) the strimer controller AND my pump head argb to the 2 SYNC connections in the FAN controller AND use the FLAT cable in AIO FANS so I can use only 1 controller. will this work? In this case I have to connect 1 USB header of the controller which will have fans +strimmer+PUMP ARGB and another USB header I will use for the AIO PUMP. will this work SIR?
@@lostyraulto answer your questions. It does not work that way. I would advise you to get a internal hub from NXZT. You might want to watch this to understand how they work th-cam.com/video/CgvuUFeff8U/w-d-xo.html
@@ALE79-88the process is the same. instructions as follow 1) plug AIO pump header to motherboard Pump header 2) plug AIO radiator fan and argb header to SL inf Hub, from hub argb and fan pwm cable to motherboard respective fan and argb header 3) plug Sata cable from hub to PSU sata cable use L-Connect 3 app to control the argb and fan rpm or to set sync to motherboard if you want to control using your motherboard software.
hello i have lian li galahad II 240 infinity i can't make l connect to detect my fans, i have a message No fan products detected do you know how i fix this? also i wired the pump header to my CPU pmw header cause the motherboard won't boot correctly saying no cpu fan detected i have an z790 rog strix h gaming wifi please help me thank you in advance
Hi achraf tchanderli braham, welcome to my channel and pardon me for the late reply. You will first need to have your Windows OS detact your Uni Hub. if it does not detect. You can't control the fan rgb or pwm. here is a guide which might aid you. th-cam.com/video/CgvuUFeff8U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=whIwm5QWj6aaGOfz and as for your ROG Strix motherboard, so long there is a connection to the fan header call CPU_FAN , you will be fine or you can disable it by ignoring the detection, the warning message will be gone. you can do this in your UEFI under fan monitoring. just set CPU_FAN to ignore.
@@KleoYan hello, and thank you for your replay, I apreciate a lot. The OS detect correctly the GA 2 trinity, i plugged the fans to the pump, then i plugged the pump to CPU_Fan it worked well i can control RGB with the motherboard program, but with L connect it sais no fan products detected, i thought it's weird, i installed the 1.75 version and it seems to work better but still there is the same message no fan products detected,so i don't know if im plugging it correctly or im doing a mistake, thank you in advance ps: i have Lian Li GA II 240 trinity not infinity SL it's without the UNI fan
@@KleoYan but the radiator fans in the video you plugged them into the pump right? or i take off cable N and plug the radiator fans directly to the cpu_fan header?
@@charonsybel the right way is to connect as according to Lian Li's instruction. The issue with your mobo is it has a build in function where by if no fans are connected to the CPU_FAN header or no signal after if you did plug your fans in.. you will get this prompt. in your case yes you can do that too. infact is better to control your fan directly from the motherboard (PWM) and leave only the argb to be controlled by L-Connect 3 app.

@@KleoYan Thanks for the quick response bro. I just watched the video. Unfortunately here in my country (Brazil), the LCD version did not arrive. while the performance arrived, but it doesn't have ARGB, considering that I have 7 inf fans. very sad, I really don't know what to buy. i7 14700k. great videos!
@@KleoYan here we have at good prices the: Lt720, Ls720wh, lian li sl inf, nzxt kraken 360, asus rog strix LC II 360 and asus ryuo III 360. May god bless you.
@@markituoboy hi, so sorry to hear that and base on your list. It greatly depends on your budget and the worth of the Liquid AIO. For my own personal preference. I will just grab the LT720 which is the cheapest here in my country. It performs extremely well. Not that others are not doing good but I judge based on price to performance. If you wanted both, then I will go for the Ryujin III.
I got 3-pack fans sl-inf and galad ii sl-inf. Sadly I didnt watched this video before. Can I use 3-pack hub to connect AIO fans using 7-pin cable from 3-pack?
Hi Soma TW2, welcome to my channel. What you can do is to use the 3 pack Uni controller plug the 3 pack fans to the controller. Then use the 3 pack set cable (7pin) and plug it to the GA II Trinity SL-Inf fans. That will work.
@KleoYan Thank you. yeah, I am gonna to try. Hope I can set in L-Connect 3 those fans as CPU ones. If I had like more usb headers, this would not be a problem at all.
So let me ask , cuz I want to be clear. The performance version has no aRGB ? if there is , can I use a header other than the 3-pin argb, since it had blown on my mobo ?
Hi Genadi 'Enomir' Georgiev, the performance does not come with ARGB fans, but the block does have argb, you can make use to the L-Connected app 3 to control that and all is needed is to plug the USB Cable between your pump block to your motherboard USB 2.0 socket. No argb 3pin is needed.
@@TaLa7aMcHo you are most welcome. All the best with your build and just one pointer. When you install this unit. Make sure the pump header is to your AIO_Pump or W_Pump header from your motherboard and NOT cpu_fan or chass_fan or sys_fan. As the pump will work well with those headers I have mentioned. At least it will provide the correct ampere to your pump
One more thing. If I decide to later on switch to the unifans with the hub only for the aRGB, would that be the same or a downgrade. And would I need a 3 pin aRGB connector ? What would be my options for rgb on the cooler if my 3-pins are blown out ?
@@TaLa7aMcHo hi, same thing apply. you dont need to have a 3pin argb header on the motherboard but will need another USB Header for the uni controller which controls the uni fan's argb. and it won't be a degrade if you choose uni fans which are of V2 .. example SL120 V2, AL120 V2.. or even the SL Inf 120.
I've just purchased the trinity cooler, plus two packs of 3 (with controller) and one single fan. Should I have just gone for all single fans? I think I've messed up my purchase haha.
Hi Chapperz, welcome to my channel. what you can do is, swap the controller from your trinity cooler to your uni fan 3 pack controller, so that you can use all uni fans with the 7pin cable to the controller.
Hi Night Owl, as if you purchase single pack SL-Inf 120 fans that comes with the split connect (1 x 4pin PWM Fan and 1 x 3pin ARGB) then is of no issue. it is prefectly safe but make sure you do not plug more than 4 fans at each port and no merge or brigding between fans. it will overload.
Hi Zoomer, welcome to my channel. For the performance AIO. It does not come in 240. You left with the GA II Trinity and is either with the normal fans or the SL Infinity fans. Anyway your 7800X3D is not toasty. Therefore the 240 GA II Trinity is good enough to drive your processor.
Hi zero two, welcome to my channel. Yes you can. on L-Connect 3, click on Quick Sync Lighting, set it to sync to motherboard. but when you do so, both your AIO and fans will follow motherboard argb effects, you can't separate it.
@@zerotwo57 for GA II Trinity SL, the fans have an additional control box.. thats why you can just set the fans to follow motherboard sync while your AIO Pump follows L-Connect 3 app.
Hi Thomas Enright, welcome to my channel. As 7800X3D draws lesser power compared to 7950X. Out of the Galahads, the GA II Trinity performance is best.

Thanks for the explanation. So just to confirm, if I’m mounting the Galahad II Trinity radiator on the side on the Lian Li O11 Vision with the tubes coming out from the top, I should still follow what you said in the video, correct? The hose should still face the RAM?
Is there a way to connect the rgb of the pump to the controller aswell? My problem is that i want to use 4 group of uni fans. 3 at the front, 3 at the top (galahad), 3 at the bottom and 1 at the rear of my case. But i want to control the rgb of all the fans + pump through L connect. How can i do this?
Hi BabaGames, welcome to my channel. I like to check, which uni fans are you using and does your uni fan controller have 2 additional ports which says sync 2 and sync 4? if you have that, all is needed is a converter for you to plug your Galahad argb to either sync 2 or sync 4. you will need to look for the lian li ARGB kit.
@@KleoYan i would want to use the uni fans sl-inf fans and the controller which comes with the galahad 2. i believe this controller does not have the additional sync ports as you suggested. I could buy this controller seperatly if needed
@@MrCan3112 hang on a minute.. I thought you are refering to Galahad, but ended up you have the GA II Trinitry SL-Inf, if thats the case. your pump should have a USB connector that goes to you the motherboard. you dont need to plus it to your SL-Infinity controller. therefore you only need 2 usb 2.0 header on your motherboard. one for your Pump and other for your SL-Inf controller. that's all is needed to control all ARGB effects in L-Connect 3.
@@KleoYan one last question. Do you know if the rgb effects of fans and galahad 2 start during the boot up of my system, when controlled with l connect?

Thank you for your video, I made a mistake to purchase 3-pack SL-INF fans which the cable (7 pin) is not compatible to the Galahad II (SL-INF) AIO controller (4+3 pin).
I had tested 3-pack controller (SLV2) which could not detect the Galahad II AIO.
Seems I have to purchase another SL-INF fan (1 pack) for the 4+3 pin cable in order to connect 3-pack fans with the Galahad II (SL-INF) AIO controller.
Any better idea?😢
Hi Napster Cheung, welcome to my channel. You should swap the controller and use the 7pin on your AIO. Anywhere you will need 2 x 2.0 USB header on your motherboard. one is for your AIO block and another is for your SL INF or SL V2. If you are using all three. You will need got get a usb splitter as your motherboard might only have 2 2.0 USB header.
@@KleoYan Thank you for your prompt reply.
The current situation is the RGB of the pump cannot be detect and control using the L-connect 3 with SLV2 controller.
When the power is connected, there is light on the pump (red and green). After the normal start up, it will light for a sec. When OS ready, the light will be gone.
Everything is working normally and can be comfigured, except the rgb of the pump. (Both AIO and 3 pack SL fan are using 7pin to connect to SLV2 controller).

My Trinity 360 is about to arrive any minute now and I'm already freaking out over the instruction manual. When it comes to wiring, it is probably the most confusing manual out all the AIOs I've checked out ... and I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to do. For instance: I'm pretty sure the "M"-cable is only needed if you want to control the RGB through your motherboard. But the manual doesn't make things very clear, because it tries to cram in all possible connection scenarios into one diagram. They should've instead provided is with separate how-tos for every scenario possible (control through motherboard vs control through L-Connect, etc)
That said: What are your thoughts on L-Connect? Should I use it or should I just control everything through my motherboard or through my case's built in RGB-controller? And should I use L-Connect for everything, including fan/pump RPM? Or should I run those two directly through the board and use the BIOS to control RPM?
Hi 1SaG, welcome to my channel. It depends which GA II Trinity you are using. if you are using original, the connection is pretty straight forward, what will add more to the equation will be the GA II Trinity Inf, as you will need to fiddle which two controllers. one from the block and other is the SL Inf fans. as for all connection to Liquid AIO, I always do this. plug the radiator fans directly to motherboard CPU_FAN and to use motherboard UEFI to set the fans. As for the argb I will use the controller to us L-Connect 3 app to do the effects.
@@KleoYanThanks for responding!
To clarify: It is the basic Trinity 360 (Performance version seems to have dropped off the market and INF version is out of stock everywhere over here.. :) ). Meaning I don't have a Lian Li RGB controller and would either have to use L-Connect or my board for RGB. I tried my case's built-in RGB-controller yesterday for the rest of my RGB-stuff and it seems to be a bit limited in its capabilities, so I'm not going to use that one.
I ended up running everything through L-Connect and while it does work, fan control is a bit too "hectic" for my taste, with the AiO-fans ramping up/down too often under light to medium loads whenever the CPU gets just a *little* warmer. A more "relaxed" custom curve should help here, I guess. Temperatures under heavy loads (Cinebench, etc) are quite amazing compared to the gen 1 Galahad 240 I used before with the i7-14700KF - so the AIO is doing its job.
I went by the manual (I hope) and plugged the fans' PWM and RBG-connectors into the adapter cable that then connects to the pump. The pump's fixed cables are plugged into SATA-power, a USB 2.0 header and the "CPU Fan" header. The slightly annoying thing about that method is that I can't monitor the fans' RPM anywhere except in L-Connect. The motherboard only sees the pump's RPM, which it lists as "CPU" - I guess because I plugged the fixed PWM cable into my "CPU Fan"- and not into my "CPU Pump"-header.
I do feel slightly uncomfortable letting an app control my CPU fans, so I would prefer running fan RPM and perhaps pump-RPM through the board. Can I still use L-Connect to control RGB when I do this, or should I rather ditch L-Connect completely and run everything (fan-RPM, pump-RPM, RGB) through my board? It is an MSI Z690 Tomahawk which does have three 5V RGB headers, so I should be fine WRT connections. Also: If I decide to go through the motherboard, do I still need to plug the SATA and USB cables in or will the AiO get powered through the fan-headers like that?
@@1SaG hi Welcome back. as why your motherboard does not read the PWM readings, that because you are connected to the pump controller which you will see in L-Connect 3, what you can do is.. between the cable O and N, at the O end, plug the 4pin pwm to your CPU_FAN header and the argb connect from cable O to N. This will let you see the PWM status on your motherboard but you will need to make use of the UEFI or motherboard utlity to control the fan curve. On my other content, I did it this way for the radiator fans as I prefer to have the motherboard to take control. In the event if the controller of the pump fails, only the argb is affected and not the radiator fans which runs off directly from my motherboard.
I wonder if the pump is really not audible at 3200 rpm, or even below, pace your comment. A change in the noise recorded was clearly noticeable when you raised the pump speed. It seems the pump noise at least makes a significant contribution to the overall noise. Based on what I observed in this video, I'd rather use PWM setting for the pump if I were to use this AIO.
Hi Osar deGozar , welcome to my channel. Thank you for your valuable feedback. I do agree with you as noise is subjective to individual sensitivity. As for the pump to run at PWM. I have witness more cases on pump failure in the past. This is due to the inconsistency of the pump impeller. Maybe newer generation will not be affected but at all times I practice to use a flat rpm. Again thank you for your valuable feedback.
@ 50:08 when you said triple pack, do you mean you can’t connect 3 fans to the controller?
My AIO only came with the hub
Hi Crem, welcome to my channell the SL Infinity fans come with single pack or tripple pack. if you purchase single pack, the cable that comes with the fan allows you to connect to the hub which comes with the AIO. if you purchase the tripple pack, there are no cables allowing you to connect the fans to the hub as it's of a different connector.
This works well for the Jonsbo Mod 5 as well. The angled tubes allowed me to attach it on the very top and not right next to the motherboard. Really helped with cooling for a push config.

Hi Nico, welcome back buddy and thank your feedback ☺️
When placing the pump down on the LGA1700 bracket, did you find that the studs didn’t come up high enough to dry fit? Not sure if it matters, just want to do it correctly.
Hi foxtrotbravo, welcome to my channel. Yes I do notice that. If you look carefully on the screws where the bolt goes at four corners. The thread on the screws are not threaded fully. That’s where it stops the bolts from over tightening. That’s how it supposed to to work. The suspended cross bar act as a retention to hold the coldplate to the IHS, that’s why the four rubber studs that is holding the backplate does not flush.
Your videos are excellent, thank you. I have a question about how to connect the AIO together with the 3 pack SL INF fans and a single SL INF fan? How would I get this configuration to work? Thanks
Hi Sham Ahmed, welcome to my channel. In your case, there are no way to use the controller that comes with the liquid AiO, you will need to swap out the controller to your 3pack set controller. As those come with only 7pin connection. I will advise you to do this.
Swap to make use of the tripple pack fan controller.
1) 3 x AIO Radiator fans , use the single pack cable, connect the fan RPM connector directly to your motherboard CPU_FAN header.
As for the ARGB connector, plug it to the triple pack controller on sync port 2
- Use your motherboard software or UEFI to control the fan RPM
- Use L-Connect 3 app to contorl the argb effects
- Reason for this, if your controller failed, your fan will still spin as it is to cool your CPU, which is important. So in the event if your controller failed, only argb is affected.
2) 3 x Case fan, plug using the 7pin cable to port 2 to the tripple pack controller.
Use L-connect 3app to controll both fans RPM and argbs effects via L-Connect 3 app
3) 1 x rear fan, plus using the 7pin cable to port 1 to the tripple pack controller.
Use L-connect 3app to controll both fans RPM and argbs effects via L-Connect 3 app
Thank you so much for the detailed reply. I really appreciate it.
In the above configuration, where would I connect the 4 pin from the AIO unit itself? The other two are USB Header and SATA power. I understand to connect the 4 pin from pump into CPU Header.
Finally, would your advice change if I purchase 3 individual SL-INF fans instead? Is that configuration better?@@KleoYan
Thank you once again.
@@shamahmed7735 you are most welcome. for the Pump block, the 4pin must directly plug to your motherboard pump header. for Asus is AIO_PUMP and for ASrock is CPU_FAN2/W_Pump, MSI is PUMP_FAN and Gigabyte SYS_FAN#_Pump. If you have gotten the tripple pack. just stick to the configuration I have told you.
if you decided to go with Single pack then the connection it's only slight difference but you have total control over the PWM of each set of fans.
1) 3 x AIO Radiator fans , use the single pack cable, connect the fan RPM connector directly to your motherboard CPU_FAN header.
As for the ARGB connector, plug it to the triple pack controller port 1
- Use your motherboard software or UEFI to control the fan RPM
- Use L-Connect 3 app to contorl the argb effects
- Reason for this, if your controller failed, your fan will still spin as it is to cool your CPU, which is important. So in the event if your controller failed, only argb is affected.
2) 3 x Case fan, plug both 4pin (PWM) and 3pin (ARGB) to port 2
Use L-connect 3app to controll both fans RPM and argbs effects
Or
2a) plug 4pin(PWM) to Motherboard Fan header and 3pin (argb) to the uni controller
Use motherboard to control the fan RPM and L-Connect 3app for the argb effects.
3) 1 x rear fan, plug both 4pin (PWM) and 3pin (ARGB) to port 2
Use L-connect 3app to controll both fans RPM and argbs effects
Or
3a) plug 4pin(PWM) to Motherboard Fan header and 3pin (argb) to the uni controller
Use motherboard to control the fan RPM and L-Connect 3app for the argb effects.

Just wondering dont we need to connect the fan port to the cpu_fan or aio_pump or cpu_opt
Hi Ink Ing, welcome to my channel. The illustration above is just showing where to plug those 4pin PWM and yes. You should be either using the CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP. the arrangement are as follow
1) GA II Trinity - Either CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP as CPU_OPT shares the same setting as CPU_FAN (if you choose to bypass L-Connect 3 app and to make use of the motherboard UEFI or Software)
2) GA II Trinity SL-INF - The pump block will goes to AIO_PUMP and the SL-INF 120 will goes to CPU_FAN
3) GA II Trinity Performance - Either CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP as CPU_OPT shares the same setting as CPU_FAN (if you choose to bypass L-Connect 3 app and to make use of the motherboard UEFI or Software)
@KleoYan thanks! Btw, wondering if i wanna control the lian li sl inf fans through the lian li hub (LL l connect thingy), can i connect the fan pwm headers to the cpu fan then the argb header to the l connect hub?
@@inking3035 If you plug your fans PWM connector to your motherboard direct, you will need to use your motherboard UEFI / Software to control the PWM of the fans, else your argb will be controlled using the L-Connect 3app. Infact what you've mentioned is even better as in the event if your uni fan hub failed, only your argb will not light up as your fans pwm are controller directly from your motherboard UEFI/software.

Hello ky, welcome to my channel. There are some great difference between normal and the SL-Infinity. 1st the SL-Infinity able to use L-Connect 3 app to perform various patterns for ARGB effects 2nd the air pressure is higher on the SL-Infinity. As for performance, it's about 1 to 2 degrees difference.
very detailed - great explanation👍
Hi Arctic, welcome back and nice of you to drop by. Thank you for your valuable feedback 😉
I bought a galahad ii 360 trinity sl inf, then connected it to my mobo. But the prob is the aio rgb is not working, im not using the aio’s controller and i dont have complete build yet(no gpu, ssd, ram, monitor). Does the rgb on the pump usually light up right after you power it on or you need the software to actually turn the rgbs on? Im sure the pump is working cuz after i turned on my pc with a cpu, the pc didnt die of overheating(heard people saying cpu without any cooling would turn off under 2 mins).
Hi Mark Cust, welcome to my channel. I use to think like what you think, which is just to connect the ARGB connector of the pump the the ARGB motherboard header. but, it does not work that way. you will need to plug the USB cable between the pump and motherboard, using L-Connect application to control the argb. if you intend to just use the motherboard argb software, you will still need to have L-connect 3 app to set sync to motherboard mode.
@@KleoYan ahh okay, so nothing is wrong, no faulty aio, just need the software to turn the rgbs on. Okay got you. Thanks alot!
@@markcust6928 you are most welcome..
How can i connect them to my motherboard which hasn't the ARGB header? I found a solution for ARGB fan by buying ARGB controller and plug it as USB.
Is there a way to connect this ARGB cooler too? Maybe just connecting the 3 pin to controller instead of the ARGB header?
Hi Giuseppe, welcome to my channel. You can don't plug the argb connector to your motherboard, so long you have the unit plug to the USB connector, you can control both fans and block argb through L-Connet-3 App.
Will this work for a 13 fan setup?
🔵 6 140mm fans in push/pull on the aio into one controller set to pmw mode (I want these fans controlled by the bios, or running off the main fan headers)
🔵 The remaining 4 140mm, and 3 120mm on the second controller (3x140, 1x140, 3x120)
What I'm unsure about is the AIO fans and if I need the fans connected to the MB headers or if they can just run off the controller.
Hi Nucl3ar, welcome to my channel. Yes you can run the radiator fans directly from the motherboard fan header (CPU_FAN1) and plug the argb to your uni fan controller. This is recommended, just incase if the uni controller malfunction. In the event of malfunction, at least you know that your radiator fans are still up and running. Only the argb effects will not work. As for case fans, you can just run directly from the uni controller.
bro pls made a thermal test video we are waiting
hi Shivang001, do allow me to have a little more time. Am still testing it and additional to this, there is another new AIO coming from Lian Li too. stay tune and thank you.
Excellent overview. Question around pump header placement on the cpu--for an AMD and Intel, you recommend putting the header on the RAM side of the mobo--in inverted builds on the 011 evo, is there an issue having the header on the VRM side opposite the RAM--same horizonal coverage? Or for AMD, does that not line up with the AMD die offset on the bottom?
Hi [NLB] Sun Wolf, welcome to my channel. I did try placing to the VRM side, both workable, it's just that this is my personal preference as your VRM heatsink will have more heat compared to the rams area, this is why i advise to place it towards the ram side. Nevertheless it will work on either side. so long the hose is not pointing downwards. As for the Offset of the AMD vs the coldplate. you are right, it is indeed not align but the flow of the slit inside the coldpate cools better with the orientation I have suggested. You can test it as that's my experience with it. Thanks for visting and all the very best with your build too. 😉
So many complains about the pump failure in those models keeps me away from that cooler. Is it enough to cool i9 14900k?
@@Voltomess hi welcome to my channel. For me I have been using these and the LCD version without issues. If you are wary of this, you can look for EK nucleus or the Deepcool Mystique. As for 14900KS.

I bought
-) Galahad II trinity infinity (yes controller)
-) 6 single reverse balde (no controller)
-) 1 strimer cable only for GPU (no controller)
On my motherboard I only have 1 3pin 5V.
I linked 3 fans and 3 fans daisy chain.
So I linked 2 blocks of fans + AIO to the controller on the aio
Now i link controller to motherboard usb and 3 pin 5V
BUT where do I link the strimer cable ?
I don’t have any 3 pin left on my mobo…
Can I buy a splitter 3 pin 5V or my pc will burn ?
Hi Robertorgg, welcome to my channel. for your Galahad Trinity SL Inf, you do not need to plug the argb cable from your pump to your motherboard 5v 3pin argb header. make use of the L-Connect 3 app to control the radiator fans and pump argb. as for your reverse fans, as for your reverse fans, I am not sure how the package is like as I do not owe any, but for your GPU strimer plus, you can plug directly to your motherboard ARGB header. Kindly do not use splitters for both strimer plus + uni fans.

Hey Kleo Yan I'm very curious what's the difference between Lian Li Galahad II Trinity SL INF and the perfomance one in terms of cooling isn't it the same or what I'm a bit confused because I want the RGB version.
Hi SiSone, welcome back. The difference is the performance has a double fin stack but the fans are not arg. You can however purchase add on strips to have ARGB at the side of the fans. As for the SL INF. It’s just like the normal GA II trinity. Just that the fans are of SL Inf with ARGB effects

Have you tried it and can you say that it doesn't work or is that just your guess?
@@Qatar-uo9ml hmm. I donno which thread you are referring to. if you got the Trinity SL-Inf Liquid AIO, it somes with the uni controller for your SL-INF, you can purchase single reverseblade, diasy chained them and use the single pack cable to connect to the uni controller. Unless you already purchase a triple pack which comes with a uni fan controller. then swap out the Liquid AIO uni fan controller to the triple pack set. reason is.. a triple pack set comes with 7pin (ARGB+PWM) connectors and not split 3pin (ARGB) and 4pin (PWM), thats why your triple pack fans is not able to connect to the liquid AIO uni fan controller.

Hi Invalid English, welcome to my channel. If you are using the GA II Trinity 360, you will need to have the SL-Inf fan controller for your other fans to work in L-Connect 3.
Hi, is it possible to connect more fans to the galahad 2 trinity? There are no connector to a led port and the cables there are included are not the right one. I have 2 more of these fans. I can connect them to the board to get them running but the lightning cant work without the connection.

@@Antidot1981 I see. If you have altered the cables and connecting them directly to the motherboard header and ARGB connect. you will be needing your motherboard to control the PWM and ARGB of these fans. To be honest I can’t picture what you are doing. Just make sure if you are connecting this fans (PWM) to your motherboard header. Do not exceed 3 fans if the header is of 1a load. Good luck and all the best.

The OS detect correctly the GA 2 trinity, i plugged the fans to the pump, then i plugged the pump to CPU_Fan it worked well i can control RGB with the motherboard program, but with L connect it sais no fan products detected, i thought it's weird, i installed the 1.75 version and it seems to work better but still there is the same message no fan products detected,so i don't know if im plugging it correctly or im doing a mistake, thank you in advance
ps: i have Lian Li GA II 240 trinity not infinity SL it's without the UNI fan
@@charonsybel you should plug the pump to the pump header and radiator fans to cpu_fan header
@@KleoYan but the radiator fans in the video you plugged them into the pump right? or i take off cable N and plug the radiator fans directly to the cpu_fan header?
@@charonsybel the right way is to connect as according to Lian Li's instruction. The issue with your mobo is it has a build in function where by if no fans are connected to the CPU_FAN header or no signal after if you did plug your fans in.. you will get this prompt. in your case yes you can do that too. infact is better to control your fan directly from the motherboard (PWM) and leave only the argb to be controlled by L-Connect 3 app.
Is trinity Galahad sl 360 inf really good? Cuz the specifications are so bad comparing with the others.
Hi MkT* ;D, welcome to my channel. I would say the GA II LCD and GA II Trinity performance are much better, you can watch this as a comparision th-cam.com/video/E-xZTQiJUOQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=k-dJsol4YHfBWwXz
@@KleoYan Thanks for the quick response bro. I just watched the video. Unfortunately here in my country (Brazil), the LCD version did not arrive. while the performance arrived, but it doesn't have ARGB, considering that I have 7 inf fans. very sad, I really don't know what to buy. i7 14700k. great videos!
@@KleoYan here we have at good prices the: Lt720, Ls720wh, lian li sl inf, nzxt kraken 360, asus rog strix LC II 360 and asus ryuo III 360. May god bless you.
@@markituoboy hi, so sorry to hear that and base on your list. It greatly depends on your budget and the worth of the Liquid AIO. For my own personal preference. I will just grab the LT720 which is the cheapest here in my country. It performs extremely well. Not that others are not doing good but I judge based on price to performance. If you wanted both, then I will go for the Ryujin III.
AND ABOUT LCD?
Hello PedrOps, welcome to my channel. Here you go th-cam.com/video/x4NhKU0y3jQ/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/E-xZTQiJUOQ/w-d-xo.html
I got 3-pack fans sl-inf and galad ii sl-inf. Sadly I didnt watched this video before. Can I use 3-pack hub to connect AIO fans using 7-pin cable from 3-pack?
Will it be fine?
Hi Soma TW2, welcome to my channel. What you can do is to use the 3 pack Uni controller plug the 3 pack fans to the controller. Then use the 3 pack set cable (7pin) and plug it to the GA II Trinity SL-Inf fans. That will work.
@KleoYan Thank you. yeah, I am gonna to try. Hope I can set in L-Connect 3 those fans as CPU ones. If I had like more usb headers, this would not be a problem at all.
@@SomaTW2 ok dokie. All the very best with your build. 😉
So let me ask , cuz I want to be clear. The performance version has no aRGB ? if there is , can I use a header other than the 3-pin argb, since it had blown on my mobo ?
Hi Genadi 'Enomir' Georgiev, the performance does not come with ARGB fans, but the block does have argb, you can make use to the L-Connected app 3 to control that and all is needed is to plug the USB Cable between your pump block to your motherboard USB 2.0 socket. No argb 3pin is needed.
@@KleoYan thank you very much. I was worried for a sec cuz I ordered one with extended warranty already.
@@TaLa7aMcHo you are most welcome. All the best with your build and just one pointer. When you install this unit. Make sure the pump header is to your AIO_Pump or W_Pump header from your motherboard and NOT cpu_fan or chass_fan or sys_fan. As the pump will work well with those headers I have mentioned. At least it will provide the correct ampere to your pump
One more thing. If I decide to later on switch to the unifans with the hub only for the aRGB, would that be the same or a downgrade. And would I need a 3 pin aRGB connector ? What would be my options for rgb on the cooler if my 3-pins are blown out ?
@@TaLa7aMcHo hi, same thing apply. you dont need to have a 3pin argb header on the motherboard but will need another USB Header for the uni controller which controls the uni fan's argb. and it won't be a degrade if you choose uni fans which are of V2 .. example SL120 V2, AL120 V2.. or even the SL Inf 120.
I've just purchased the trinity cooler, plus two packs of 3 (with controller) and one single fan. Should I have just gone for all single fans? I think I've messed up my purchase haha.
Hi Chapperz, welcome to my channel. what you can do is, swap the controller from your trinity cooler to your uni fan 3 pack controller, so that you can use all uni fans with the 7pin cable to the controller.
@@KleoYan Thanks so much really appreciate that
@@ChapperzTV you are most welcome. All the best with your build 😉
Hello Kleo, can I plug my 9 other infinity fans into this controller? 38:03
Hi Night Owl, as if you purchase single pack SL-Inf 120 fans that comes with the split connect (1 x 4pin PWM Fan and 1 x 3pin ARGB) then is of no issue. it is prefectly safe but make sure you do not plug more than 4 fans at each port and no merge or brigding between fans. it will overload.
@@KleoYan Ah I see, thanks for the quick response.
@@cloudsaremashedpotato you are most welcome and all the best with your build too.
I have the Ryzen 7 7800x3d which version should I get?
I can only fit 240mm
Hi Zoomer, welcome to my channel. For the performance AIO. It does not come in 240. You left with the GA II Trinity and is either with the normal fans or the SL Infinity fans. Anyway your 7800X3D is not toasty. Therefore the 240 GA II Trinity is good enough to drive your processor.
Can I sync the non sl infinity fans with motherboard ?
Hi zero two, welcome to my channel. Yes you can. on L-Connect 3, click on Quick Sync Lighting, set it to sync to motherboard. but when you do so, both your AIO and fans will follow motherboard argb effects, you can't separate it.
@@KleoYan thanks, so I can only separate on sl infinity version ?
@@zerotwo57 for GA II Trinity SL, the fans have an additional control box.. thats why you can just set the fans to follow motherboard sync while your AIO Pump follows L-Connect 3 app.
So which one is the best to use with RGB for a Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Hi Thomas Enright, welcome to my channel. As 7800X3D draws lesser power compared to 7950X. Out of the Galahads, the GA II Trinity performance is best. This might aid you in your decision. th-cam.com/video/E-xZTQiJUOQ/w-d-xo.html or if you want to see what other liquid AIO too. th-cam.com/video/ca2zGSQvWog/w-d-xo.html
@@KleoYan The only reason I want to use this CPU is because I been told on more than one channel in youtube that it is the best gaming CPU out there at the moment.
@@thomasenright5282 yup. You are not wrong about it and it runs cooler. 👍
mantap 👍👍
Hello 4ndaLuSia, welcome to my channel and thank you for your feedback 😉
Not impressed with their previous AIO, lets see if these new versions are better. Like the look. :)
Hi Melvin, good morning and thank you for your feedback. In my honest opinion these are great coolers with heaps of improvement. Just that a lot having trouble with the application and they way they are connected. Can be confusing if do not take time to read the instructions manual.
it's still trash , depends on your luck , i paid like 210€ performance version, got defected pump , burned my cpu and SSD , already saw on reddit that people have problems with pump
Bro, Can i install sl-inf Fans on performance radiator?
Hi Асет Каратаев, yes you can but performance will drop as the fans on the Performance fans are high static pressure fans.
@KleoYan Bro thanks for the advice😊
But Galahad II Trinity Performance model with sl-inf fans will be better nearly regular galahad II Trinity Sl-inf model?😅
@@AnotherGame-t3k hmm I find no point to get performance and to compromise the performance. If that’s the case should just get the GA II Trinity SL Inf
Thanks for explaining the pump position! The official animation here th-cam.com/video/tfKlEqM_TOY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sNafuWlqWZr2_H_6&t=4 shows how the cold water hit the copper plate.
Hi Ratha Siv, welcome to my channel and thank your for sharing, greatly appreciated it 👍😉
Hi! I bought the galahad ii trinity sl inf 360 and have a amd but my am5 bracket is different from urs and idea why?
Hi Aronzzi, welcome to my channel. For this, I have no idea it’s different. Maybe you can check it on the instruction manual if the AMD bracket is what you see on it drive.google.com/file/d/1UgTpJFkwk4YVWHfIV7oGUrWDJxXh8xwU/view?usp=drivesdk
@@Aronzzi89 you are most welcome. If that’s the case, either contact your seller or contact Lian Li to provide you the necessary. All the very best 👍
@@Aronzzi89 you are most welcome. If that’s the case, either contact your seller or contact nLian Li to provide you the necessary. All the very best 👍
@@Aronzzi89 i see, ok that's good to know and thank you for the updates... all the best with your build 😉
Thanks for the explanation. So just to confirm, if I’m mounting the Galahad II Trinity radiator on the side on the Lian Li O11 Vision with the tubes coming out from the top, I should still follow what you said in the video, correct? The hose should still face the RAM?
@@krishpuri383 hi and welcome to my channel. That is correct. All the best with your build too 😉
Is there a way to connect the rgb of the pump to the controller aswell? My problem is that i want to use 4 group of uni fans. 3 at the front, 3 at the top (galahad), 3 at the bottom and 1 at the rear of my case. But i want to control the rgb of all the fans + pump through L connect. How can i do this?
Hi BabaGames, welcome to my channel. I like to check, which uni fans are you using and does your uni fan controller have 2 additional ports which says sync 2 and sync 4? if you have that, all is needed is a converter for you to plug your Galahad argb to either sync 2 or sync 4. you will need to look for the lian li ARGB kit.
@@KleoYan i would want to use the uni fans sl-inf fans and the controller which comes with the galahad 2. i believe this controller does not have the additional sync ports as you suggested. I could buy this controller seperatly if needed
@@MrCan3112 hang on a minute.. I thought you are refering to Galahad, but ended up you have the GA II Trinitry SL-Inf, if thats the case. your pump should have a USB connector that goes to you the motherboard. you dont need to plus it to your SL-Infinity controller. therefore you only need 2 usb 2.0 header on your motherboard. one for your Pump and other for your SL-Inf controller. that's all is needed to control all ARGB effects in L-Connect 3.
@@KleoYan Oh ok my bad. Sorry for not being precise. Thank you very much
@@KleoYan one last question. Do you know if the rgb effects of fans and galahad 2 start during the boot up of my system, when controlled with l connect?
Was looking at the Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360, but I think I prefer this GA II SL-INF 360. Really like the visuals options on it
