New standards in AIO cooling: LIAN LI HYDROSHIFT II LCD-C Series presented

With the new HYDROSHIFT II LCD-C series, LIAN LI is launching an impressive further development of its all-in-one water cooling systems. The new models are based on a minimalist design with side-guided hoses, extended control options and a high-resolution LCD display. In this way, LIAN LI is targeting discerning users who place equal value on performance, aesthetics and customization.

The AIO series is available in three variants – 360TL, 360CL and 360N – and offers suitable solutions for different system requirements. Whether wireless setup, user-defined displays or maximum flexibility in fan selection: The HYDROSHIFT II LCD-C is aimed at users with high expectations in terms of technology and design.

  • Compact radiators with side hose routing for better compatibility
  • 2.1″ round IPS LCD with offline, wireless and USB mode
  • Fan selection between UNI FAN TL (high-performance), UNI FAN CL (quiet) or fanless
  • Innovative mounting with latched pump block for easier installation

Hose management and radiator design rethought

The external appearance plays an increasingly important role in modern builds. The HYDROSHIFT II LCD-C therefore focuses on an elegant, almost hose-free look. This is made possible by a lateral hose guide, in which high-quality, flexible corrugated hoses ensure clean lines and a stable flow rate. The tubing clip supplied allows precise positioning over the CPU block and can be removed if required – ideal for compact housings.

The 400×122×24 mm radiator has been redesigned to be compatible with a wide variety of case layouts. Despite its slim design, it delivers efficient heat dissipation – even with power-hungry systems. The easy-to-install design of the pump block is particularly noteworthy: the new latch mechanism fixes it securely to the mainboard so that it can be easily screwed into place even in difficult installation positions. This makes the installation process much easier and safer.

Flexible LCD display with three control modes

A key feature of the HYDROSHIFT II LCD-C is the 2.1-inch round IPS display with 480×480 pixels, 500 nits brightness and 60 Hz refresh rate. It can be operated in three different modes to cover different user requirements:

Offline mode: no software required – the display shows coolant temperature and pump performance, control is via a rotating pump cover. 13 pre-installed background designs and dynamic RGB effects can be set directly on the device.

Wireless mode: The optional L-Wireless Sync Controller enables control via a 2.4 GHz wireless connection. The L-Connect 3 software can be used to display live system data such as CPU/GPU load and temperatures, synchronize RGB and adjust fan profiles – all without a USB header on the mainboard.

USB streaming mode: If you are looking for maximum customization, you can access the display via USB and display your own images, GIFs or videos. The software offers templates and the option to use the display as a secondary screen – ideal for monitoring or stylish animations.

Fan options for different requirements

Depending on the variant, LIAN LI supplies different fans – or deliberately none:

  • 360TL: Equipped with UNI FAN TL Wireless, which deliver maximum cooling performance with up to 2600 rpm, 90.1 CFM airflow and 3.97 mmH₂O static pressure – at max. 33 dBA.
  • 360CL: Comes with UNI FAN CL Wireless for quiet operation – up to 2200 rpm, 72 CFM, 3.0 mmH₂O and only 31 dBA.
  • 360N: Supplied without fan – ideal for individual setups with desired fans.

The integrated wireless control allows the fan and pump to be operated directly in a synchronized system via L-Connect 3 – particularly attractive for users looking for a clean setup without unnecessary cables.

Conclusion

With the HYDROSHIFT II LCD-C series, LIAN LI delivers an all-round successful AIO solution that impresses with its design, performance and user-friendliness. Thanks to flexible display modes, high-quality fan options and a well thought-out design, it appeals to users who are looking for a powerful yet aesthetic cooling system.

All models – TL, CL and N – will be available for pre-order shortly and will launch on June 6th, in both black and white, each with a generous 6-year warranty. Prices start from 159.99 USD for the fanless version to 239.99 USD for the TL model with Wireless Sync Controller.
