Among the packed field of PC hardware manufacturers, Lian Li is a company
that arguably shouldn't even need an introduction. The quirky company has
developed a devout following thanks to its focus on premium-quality aluminum
computer cases that, more often that not, and come with in some rather unique
designs. Over the years, the company has developed a solid reputation for its
meticulous craftsmanship, durability, and elegant aesthetics. And
consequently, when the company made the decision to expand beyond aluminum
cases and in to other PC peripherals, that development attracted quite a bit
of attention to see what kind of a touch Lian Li could bring to the rest of
the PC ecosystem.

Lian Li's focus on premium products means that the company doesn't really
make much in the way of products that are merely basic, and that kind of
mentality has extended beyond cases and into the rest of their peripherals.
Case in point is the subject of today's review: Lian Li's new all-in-one CPU
cooler, the HydroShift LCD 360S AIO. Not content just to make a powerful 360
mm cooler, Lian Li has gone a step above by integrating recesses and other
features to help hide the tubing around the cooler, and then for the coup de
grace, added a high-quality 2.88-inch IPS display to the pump block.

Overall, this new product marks a significant milestone for Lian Li, as it
combines advanced cooling technology with the company's signature aesthetic
appeal, making for a cooler that's aimed at both enthusiasts and professional
users seeking high-end thermal performance and visual customization. Overall,
the HydroShift LCD 360S is undeniably designed first and foremost with
aesthetics in mind, but the shiny pump block is backed up with one of the
most powerful 360 mm cooler designs on the market today. So Lian Li is
throwing everything they have at the new HydroShift coolers.

Overall, the 360S is part of a trio of HydroShift 360 mm coolers the company
is launching this summer. All three share a similar design, although with
some pump changes and the addition of RGB fan lighting, depending on the
specific model, with the 360S effectively serving as the base model.
