Lian Li package the HydroShift LCD 360S in fairly nondescript black, matching the monochromatic aesthetic of the design. It of course indicates this unit's black colourway, compatible sockets, inclusion of three 120mm fans, and 6 year warranty. More detailed information is on the rear, as well as some additional imagery indicating how the cooler looks when installed in a system.

In fact, we’re a little surprised that Lian Li don’t make more of the high-quality LCD screen and minimal-hose appearance of the solution up front. Clearly they’re relying on their external marketing to really sell the product rather than how it might look on the shelf of your local Best Buy or Microcentre.



There’s quite a lot to the HydroShift 360S’s bundle so it’s worth going through in some more detail.

Both AMD AM4/5 and Intel LGA1700 mounting hardware is included in the pack but Lian Li have eschewed an Intel ILM replacement in favour of a standard four-point backplate. Spacers ensure that correct pressure is maintained on the CPU, and a ‘U’-shaped cover fits over the edge of the pump assembly to hide screws etc.

A pair of ‘W’ clips are supplied to keep the hoses separated but together, with additional ‘U’ channels below for gathering smaller cables (i.e. fan and USB cables). Not only will they help to keep the hoses tidy, they’ll also allow you to neatly hide cables behind them too.

The ‘L’-shaped bracket attaches to the radiator, guiding and hiding the hoses behind the radiator and fans so only a minimal amount is ever exposed. It’s a mirror to the bracket that arrives pre-installed on the radiator that can be switched when you wish to flip the radiator’s orientation. An additional metal clip, identical to two already fitted to the radiator, can be used to retain the hose further down its edge if it suits your needs.
