Introduction
The Lian Li HYDROSHIFT 360S, 360R, and 360TL are all-in-one (AIO) water cooling systems that stand out due to their unique design. These systems feature tubing strategically positioned to the side of the radiator, promoting a clean and organized look. The tubing can be set up to run on either the left or right side, and the units are equipped with a brushed aluminum plate and end covers for added versatility. Available solely in 360 mm size and in both black and white colors, these models focus on delivering a sleek, minimalist appearance for PC setups. One of the standout features of these cooling systems is the 360 mm HYDROSHIFT pump block, similar to the GALAHAD II LCD model. It boasts a 2.88-inch LCD panel that users can customize through the L-Connect 3 software. This customization extends to managing the display options on the panel. Additionally, the pump block features a cover that hides the mounting screws, contributing to a more polished overall appearance. In terms of design, the HYDROSHIFT AIOs ingeniously incorporate the tubes along the side of the radiator, giving it an almost tubeless look when installed. This design not only enhances the aesthetic but also makes for a less cluttered PC build. The systems come with two pre-installed retention brackets, and an extra one is included in the box for greater routing flexibility. To accommodate these coolers, the installation area must support radiators up to 280 mm in width and must have enough space to fit a radiator and tubing with a length between 395 and 403 mm. For further customization, the systems include L-shaped plastic shrouds that cover the radiator ends, altering the look depending on whether the radiator is mounted on the left or right side. The full-length brushed aluminum plate can be attached to either side, enhancing the visual appeal and allowing for different orientations in various builds. The HYDROSHIFT 360TL and 360R models come with a robust 31 mm tall radiator, paired with high-performance 28 mm tall fans. This setup ensures effective cooling, maintaining stable temperatures even during intense computing tasks. These AIO systems are crafted with a dual focus on functionality and aesthetics. The design that hides the tubing not only improves the look but also simplifies cable management, creating a tidier setup. The customizable LCD panel on the pump block offers real-time monitoring and adjustments of the cooling system, giving users control over the system’s performance and appearance through the L-Connect 3 software.
The compatibility of the HYDROSHIFT AIOs with various PC builds and orientations, combined with their advanced cooling capabilities, makes them an ideal choice for users looking to enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of their systems. The integration of thoughtfully designed elements and advanced cooling technology highlights the utility and elegance of these water cooling systems. The HYDROSHIFT series includes three models: 360TL, 360R, and 360S, available in black or white. They feature a 2.88” IPS LCD with 480 x 480 pixel resolution and 500 nits brightness. The block dimensions are 73.2 x 73.2 x 58.6 mm for the 360TL and 360R, and 72 x 72 x 59 mm for the 360S. Pump speeds range from 2000-3200 RPM for the 360TL and 360R, and 2200-3800 RPM for the 360S. All models have radiators measuring 403 x 124.5 mm, with thicknesses of 31 mm for the 360TL and 360R, and 27 mm for the 360S. The tube lengths are 440 mm for the 360TL and 360R, and 435 mm for the 360S, with inner diameters of 5.8 mm for the 360TL and 360R, and 7.1 mm for the 360S. The fan dimensions vary by model. Compatible CPU sockets include Intel LGA 1700 and AMD AM5/AM4. Each model comes with a 6-year warranty.
