Packaging and Accessories
Both the Galahad II Trinity SL-INF and the Galahad II Trinity Performance which are both 360-length models have the same size box and the styling for both is similar. Like with all of the Lian Li Infinity fans that I have taken a look at recently, both boxes have the lite blue trim on the top and bottom edges as well as the sides. They went with a black background but then have a multicolor ribbon floating through the background, similar to the old-school screensavers. The Lian Li logo is there but small and up in the top left corner. Then they saved the largest font for the model name which is in the bottom right corner. They do have badges that show off the 5-year warranty and indicate that these have three 120mm fans. Most of the front is filled with a picture of the cooler itself which I am always happy to see. Around on the back, both boxes have the same layout which has pictures of key features and short descriptions below each explaining them. Most of the features are the same between the SL-INF model and the Performance model but there are a few noticeable differences like the pump contact surface and housings are different, the fans of course, and the radiator fin picture is different as well.
When you open up either of the boxes the documentation is right on top even before you get past the foam on the top layer. Each of the coolers does have its own installation guide which makes sense, the performance model doesn’t have the same wiring for fans without having RGB on them. Both come with a small piece of paper with instructions on the L-Connect controller but only the SL-INF comes with that so it was interesting to see that in with the Performance 360. Inside though both have a formed cardboard tray that holds everything and each component in the box has a place. Everything, even the smallest of objects also are bagged including the pump and lines and the radiator. The radiator and fans are also protected with a slide on a cardboard cover to protect the fins. The most interesting thing here and something that just can't be understated. The radiator came with the fans already mounted to it for both coolers. This might seem like a small thing but it is one of the biggest parts of an AIO cooler installation and they have done the work for you.
Both of the Galahad II Trinity coolers come with a lot of mounting hardware and accessories but the SL-INF comes with more overall. This is because it comes with the L-Connect controller as well as a whole mess of wires to go with it. This includes an internal USB to micro-USB cable that hooked the controller up, three male addressable RGB adapter cables that run from the controller or the pump to hook up other RGB devices, and a split fan header and addressable RGB cable to hook the controller up to your motherboard. The controller itself is exactly what we have seen with other Uni-Fans with PWM fan headers and the RGB plugs on both sides for four channels the SATA power plug on the end as well as the Micro-USB connection. The bottom also has a spot for the included double-sided sticky tape that is also magnetic if you need it. The mounting hardware for the pump is the same on both coolers. You have two Intel backplates and AMD brackets, the AMD brackets are a different design for the performance model but still mount with the standard AMD hooks. For wire management the coolers come with a Lian Li leather strap which is interesting, not something I’ve ever seen before. They both come with a small stick of thermal paste and a sticker to help get the perfect application as well as screws to mount the radiator.
You also get three pump top replacements as well as the one that comes on the pump. This is where the Trinity in the model name comes from. You have the metal ringed pump top with an infinity mirror design that comes preinstalled. Then there is a diffused translucent white ring and two different center pieces. One is translucent white as well and the other is a smaller infinity mirror design giving you three different styling options for the pump on each of the coolers. I will get into the design more in the next section but they do come in their own bags and each is also labeled as well.
