Great video! Super relaxed and perfect explanations without any disturbing music, transitions or timelapses. 10/10
Question: Where do you put the RGB controller box? (The one with the buttons on it) Do you just leave it inside the PC case somewhere? How do you access it to push the buttons? Thanks for the video!
I've seen alot of people just stick it on the wire tucking side panel, so you'd have to open it if you wanted to change it... you might switch it alot in the beginning but once it gets old you'll likely just keep it on your favorite color. Or change it every once in a while, which is only two thumb screws away
@@mattb6646 when i take the panel off to switch colors do i leave the pc on
@@um4r735 yeah you can
hi do you mind putting an amazon UK link for the RGB and fan splitters so I get the right ones. thank you
Can we reful the water in this AiO ?
4:09 you say run it in DC mode if you connect it on the 4pin. How do make sure it's running in DC mode?
Edit: I think I found it, its on the BIOS and you change to DC for the Fans...
Honestly this is a really nice video. Tried building my new PC yesterday but got stuck with all the cables, having no idea where they go. Thanks a ton!
Legit man I got my Galahad today as well and then you go and do this 😍
Enjoy it
Did it a red coloured wire come with it?
Is Anyone having issues with the long screws not going in and stripping????
bro i was looking for such a video a week back, just made my pc and installation of this AIO was extremely hard
the AIO and RGB fans are always the hardest bits
I only was able to get one fan with rgb lighting. How do you get all of them on ?
Can you link where you got the 3 plug rgb connector
The amd mounting seems weak because it only has 2 anchor points
Yes it’s two point go with Arctic freezer II 360 better performance
Agrred 4 would be better but it peforms well and on removing cooler all cpu is covered well with thermal paste
@@ChristopherFlannigan OK thank you, however I think it is the better looking one. I’ve just bought the nzxt z73 for my new build.
It doesn't make a difference imo. I had four on my arctic 280 and now I have two on my new fractal Celsius 280. Temps are nearly the same.
@@swizzler8053 its not about temps, its about longevity/endurance
I would always plug the pump into the CPU fan header. Most decent MBs will have a protection on that header. This way if pump ever dies it’ll stop it from booting and frying the CPU.
That will work too
Your videos gave me the confidence and helped me to build my first computer last month. Deciding between an AIO and a traditional CPU heat sink with fan was a really tough choice. It was one of the hardest decisions of my build.
Good to hear
@@ChristopherFlannigan hi meow
Just bought this cooler tysm! Also you sound like the youtuber jim browning almost exactly 😂do you know him?
Same country
@@ChristopherFlannigan great video m8!
You mumble too much. Speak clearly. When you're giving instructions, the most important part should be said so the viewer can understand.
Silly question. I am installing this for the first time and was wondering if we have to add water to the block or is it already full
you don't have to add water, there is already water inside.
So if my RGB on the Lian AIO is not working it’s cause I need the MSI (motherboard) hardware? I want to avoid using the controller.
Which is a better AIO NZXT Kraken X/Z73 or Galahad AIO? The case is Lian Li Dynamic XL.
Im deciding on the exact same things, what did you go with in the end?
@@thomaselliott886 Neither I went with Corsair AIO as I was building all white build. Going great so far.
After 2 years with the galahad AIO in diferent positions, top, front with pull and push system and only push system is not cooling properly and my cpu is hotter tan ever
I do not have the aio pump header on my mother board i have the sata connector. I cant find any info on hooking that up. Does anyone know where to plug yhe weird flat wire?
What is the magnet on the cooler do?
Actually amazing. Super simple and step by step. Not just cutting to it being done. Helped alot
Curious, are the temperatures that much lower, with an AIO versus a CPU fan, thus, is it worth it?
Never been a fan of water and electronics. But, AIOs seem to be growing in popularity now...
Check out my thermal testing video as I compare the differences (the Silent base 802 video has a comparision)
Hey Chris. Happy new year mate. I wish you all the best.
Same to you!
You make clipping the pump to the cpu look so easy I can't seem to get it clipped in.
does the fan and rgb splitter come with the AIO ???
Yes
Got the Galahad 2 and can’t even get off the intel bracket out of the box lol
Many thanks ... I spent almost the whole day trying to connect it ..and then I found this video. :)
Glad it helped
I need a better explanation with the rgb wires
Search up a separate video of “Where to put aio water cooler wires”.
Exactly all the small details regarding install I was looking for. And thanks to auto closed captioning I was able to understand all of it ;) Cheers from the deep south
I am building my first pc now and you literally guide me through it all. Thank you!
Would you say that the Galahad is loud while gaming? I am not sure if I should get this one for the looks or an other one for a more silent gaming set uo
The fans are loud. I have LL120 on my deepcool castle 360ex and cooling will be less but it is very quiet
@@ChristopherFlannigan thank you very much
How's the aio?
i thought the lancool 2 doesnt support 360 on top?
That isnt a lancool case .... the lian li 2 mesh only offically supports a 240 aio on the top , although some I reddit claim they squeezed a 280 aio up there. A 360 can of course fit in the front
Not great, can't see what what he's doing, what cables look like, etc
Worst AIO ever, imma bet it won't work anymore after 6 months :)
Thanks chris! Just installed my galahad 240 without any issues due to your well described instructions
Great to hear!
Thanks for a great video. It was tremendously helpful for my first build. I really appreciated the flow and clarity of your explanations, and felt quite lucky to find a same case same AIO video like this. Awesome content!
Can someone help me I can’t take out the Intel metal part thing :(
Thanks for the video Christopher. I am waiting for my 360 Lian Li Galahad to arrive in the next few days. Do I control the fan speed and pump speed via BIOS?
Yes you do
@@ChristopherFlannigan does that fan work on 5 2600x
So did he plug in both cables coming from the aio pump?
hey
what case are you using in the video?
Just got mine today and then u upload this. Thanks for all u do
Nice timing then
Ok I want to use this AIO with the new uni fans. Would I connect the one fan cable to the cpu fan header?
Yes, pwm cable would need to go there
This question helped me alot 🙏
A little Zoomage would have helped by 400%
Very underrated, thank you so much explained everything so well helped a lot :)
I was wondering about this. Thanks!
No problem
Sound exactly like Jim browning
Yea bro idk what tf to do you need to do more close ups
Just a question,,, i just bought an msi MAG b550 is it good? This is my first time building a ryzen pc
Yes b550 is a nice board
You sir, are a legend! I have just ordered a 240 galahad. Was wondering what I was going to do regarding my RGB. header is currently used for strip however was not aware I can just use splitter cables. This made it step by step clear which was also nice!
No problem
Hello lol I also got a 240 Galahad and having issues regarding plugging in my rgb, what Splitter cable did you use.
@@zackaparicio2843 hello, sorry for delay! You can get generic 3 or 4 pin RGB splitters, also known as daisy chain cables. However be sure to check what you’re plugging in and where. If it’s a 4 pin header you’re plugged to, it has to be compatible. ARGB and RGB are two different voltages and can cause damage if mismatched.
U sound like jim browning ngl
Why dc mode on the pump? :/
The instructions say or connect it to the controller? I have connect mine to the controller? Is this in correct? Confused now🤔
These are too noisy at 100% speed
I'm looking forward td 500 mesh case build and thermal testing
Me too
I dont have a pump header on my B450 gaming X, can i plug the pomp on any other SYS Fan? And also the fans going to the CPU fan header? Thank you very much
great.. now the only part i can not solve with common sense .. how to install the backplate? .. and who cares about amd?
Goddd those wires when you turned the computer around.... My Anxiety went haywire... Great video never installed a Water Cooler system before, just trying to get some ideas on how they work... Kinda paranoid about water running through my computer, but I understand the science behind the cooling system. Much appreciate the video.
These are super helpful. I am about to hook up the 240mm version of this as an exhaust to my Lancool 2 mesh case. I also have to hook up the 3 intake RGB fans that come with it. I think with my x570 Tomahawk board I should have no trouble just using the splitters for each and plugging both ARGBs into my mobo..
Glad it was helpful!
Did anyone face issues installing the waterblock on the cpu? I broke my cpu pins while fighting over it. 💔
wouod have been nice if you did a close up of each wire and where they go cause that is the trickiest part of this install and you basicslly went over the simple stuff
Can you please to over the 240 aio RGB cabling with a x570-i motherboard without putting it in a case. I'm so confused
can anyone link the triple rgb connector? When I google it all I get are triple fan connectors for fan power.
Question: My fans rgb lights are working, but their not spinning. Is it a quick fix?
Bro can any body help me i just buy this cooler but the fans gives a lot of noise any fix plZ???
Same AIO but you have different cables, making this so hard for me
I dont have pump header. Do i plug my pump into cpu fan, system fan, or sata power???? First time build and i dont wanna mess up
Great video with precise instructions. Thanks for making life easier :)
outstanding video. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
is there any way to adjust the fan speed of these fans? At 100% the fans are way too loud.
My AIO fans keep flashing and I’ve tried re wiring it and I keep running into issues. Any solutions?
Does anyone know how I would go about getting another AMD U mount bracket?
ok
is it normal that after you tightened the screws that the have a small angle to them? i mounted my aio and its even on the board but it looks kinda sus with the screws on a slight angle idk if that is normal for that kind of mounting^^ is my first aio.. temps are fine with 40°C in Idle and around 60°C in Full use
Which header did you put your pump on again I don't think you mentioned it?
I'm assuming this would be same setup for the smaller aios as well like the 240 one
Most useful video ever! Thanks👍
Thanks, appreciate this
Cheers, CPU mounting bracket was giving me the run around. Didn't want to break the pump apply pressure where I wasn't sure
Thank you so much from two years in the future. Replacing my AIO and hooking up the connectors was giving me a major headache. This was the only video (out of five) that explained it clearly and easily. Thanks again!
Is there a guide to see if its working or not, it turns on but i dont think its actually pumping anything or not
Hi do u have a link for the splitter u used for the aio fan? Please😊
Gosh it took me some seconds
To understand this “power” word pronunciation, nice video though! Thanks
Can you control the speed of the pump connecting it this way ?
Im confused about the RGB. What controls the rgb? L Connect? The hub my AIO came with didnt come with a controllable hub with buttons on it. Do i need to control it through L Connect or my mobo? Asus Aura sync DOES NOT like to work on my pc. Have had it for years and havent been able to figure out why. Ive updated everything you could think of so maybe its a hardware issue.
Edit, my controller does not look like yours at all. Its about twice the size as the one I saw in this video.
What did you end up doing
I have the same AIO, I plugged in the 2 wires coming out of the AIO pump to CPU FAN on Motherboard and other right next to it to CPU_OPT on the motherboard, will that be alright?
God no, one is for the power the 3 pin one, this goes in CPU fan. Other one that looks like a 4 pin but has one filled in is for the ARGB, this goes into the ARGB socket on the mobo (5 V)
have no idea why i didnt get 3 pwm splitter for fan
what is the splitter for the rgb cable called or where can I find it. Cant seem to find it anywhere online
Thanka god this video exist dude u save my ass🙏💯
I have a question and I hope to answer, please, what is the official price of the MSI RTX 3080 SUPERIM X graphics card. I know that these graphics cards are currently not available and their prices are double and very expensive, but what is the official price from the company for this card؟
You mean MSRP? Must be around 900-950 euro for Europe
How reliable are these closed-loop liquid coolers? After 22 years on nuclear submarines, I've developed a serous mistrust of mixing water and electronics. I have a brand new Lian Li case with RGB fans and I've ordered RGB RAM, so I'm really leaning toward this specific cooler.
Fairly reliable I’d say.
The screws for the brackets on my cooler will not tighten past a certain once i apply them, but they stop while the cooler is still nowhere near the cpu and won't go any further no matter how much pressure i apply with the screwdriver
Did you ever find a solution I'm having this exact same problem
How do you know how much as to not overtighten it?
Are we able to maintain this cooler? Or is there not a way?
I can’t get these screws to go through to hold the fans
Came for the demo. Stayed for this accent.
Hello do you need to fill the radiator with water before you use it ?
Got mine around 6-8 months ago. All a sudden heat is around 95 degrees while just have chrome with RUclips playing. Took it off and reapplied thermal paste. Same thing. Any advice? Back to using the stock cooler and idle is even cooler than it was them on this cooler.
I got the same issue mines idles at 60c
@@IndigoOmegaTv took it back for warranty, all good now. Much cooler better than it ever was. Had a defective one and didn’t know until it got worse
Can’t instal the damn thing 🙈. It’s so difficult and just won’t clip on to both sides
did you get it?
Thank you, very helpful.
Nice vid. Comprehensive, easy to follow and Irish accent. All good things in my book. Subbed.
