Does it fit

[-_ThatGuy_-]

I am looking to buy the lian li galahad aio for my 10700k but I don't know if it fits in my current case https://www.njoy.ro/cases/vanguard, if it doesn't then does it fit in the lian li lancool II mesh rgb (tubes down) ?https://www.lian-li.com/lancool-ii-mesh-rgb/

It should fit but the case has poor front intakes, maybe consider replacing the stock fans with static pressure optimized fans.

In which case? And what fans? The fans that come with the aio or the fans that come with the case?

I meant your current case. It can support up to 360 mm AIOs in the front but the standard fans do not look like they can handle the restrictive glass front of the case.

If you look on the site at gallery the forth photo shows that theres a metal that covers up where the radiator should go. If I am wrong please correct me  . The aio wouldnt fit on the outside.

Right, sorry I thought that could be removed like on other cases. In that case you are limited to 280 mm AIOs or use a different case. Given the Air flow restrictions something like the Be-Quiet 500DX or the Lancool 2 Mesh would work better and won't need noisy fans for good airflow.

As I asked in the main question, will the galahad 360 be able to be mounted inside the lancool II mesh rgb with tubes down?

I know the aio fits the case but idk if I can  mount it with tubes down .

The answer to your question. no, the hose length is at 400mm. If you place tube down. your tube will be stress due to the tight stretch.

Thanks. What case would you recommend so I can mount the cooler tubes down? @Kleo Yan

The Galahad itself is build this way. not matter which case that allows a 360mm rad at the front, you will still not able to do your tube at the bottom, because it's at 400mm in length, very limited hose slack. you can try forcing it but there will be too much stress or tension. best is to have it mounted the aio at the top and not at the front. if at the front, you will need the hose up.
