Tear-Down: Lian Li Galahad AIO Disassembly vs. EK AIO, Arctic Liquid Freezer II, NZXT X63
4,496We're taking apart the Lian Li Galahad AIO 360, following-up our liquid cooler review for the unit earlier this week. This allows us to compare Arctic Liquid Freezer & EK AIO coldplates.
Sponsor: Buy Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut on Amazon (https://geni.us/1D8Eeq) or Hydronaut paste (https://geni.us/Fsray)
This tear-down allows us to more closely compare the differences between the EK AIO 360, Arctic Liquid Freezer II liquid coolers, and NZXT Kraken X63 coolers. These all have key differences in coldplates, impellers, and overall pump design, and disassembly allows us to see what those are.
