Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360 Sub-Zero vs Lian Li Galahad II Trinity 360: Comparison

Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360 Sub-Zero vs Lian Li Galahad II Trinity 360: the warranty difference

The gap that matters here is warranty: Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360 Sub-Zero 5 years against Lian Li Galahad II Trinity 360 6 years, which puts Lian Li Galahad II Trinity 360 17% ahead. There is a split on socket compatibility as well, Intel LGA1200 on the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360 Sub-Zero versus AMD AM5/AM4, Intel LGA1851/1700/1200/115X on the Lian Li Galahad II Trinity 360.

Who each one is for

Buy the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360 Sub-Zero for extreme overclocking on unlocked flagship CPUs and enthusiasts chasing sub-ambient temperatures, though it is not built for typical mainstream or locked-CPU builds and users who don't want extra proprietary control software. it is not the pick for buyers who prefer subtle, non-RGB aesthetics and the smallest cases, given the 360mm radiator footprint. It is equally the pick for buyers who want a strong triple-fan RGB visual statement over a pump-head display. It is not the one for buyers who specifically want a pump-head LCD, where the Galahad II LCD 360, covered elsewhere on this site, has one. Our rating of the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360 Sub-Zero (7.9/10): remarkable thermal ceiling for extreme overclockers, but overkill and software-dependent for typical builds. Our rating of the Lian Li Galahad II Trinity 360 (8.2/10): A visually striking 360mm AIO that trades a display for a coordinated triple-fan lighting design many builders will prefer.

Where the two are identical

Everything else lines up. Radiator size, cooler type, fan count and fan size read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing.
