Lian Li HydroShift II LCD-C 360 Fanless ARGB CPU cooler - Black

The Lian Li HydroShift II LCD-C 360 Fanless ARGB - Black CPU cooler is a liquid cooling solution aimed at more modern gaming and enthusiast configurations with current platforms. You get universal compatibility with popular sockets AM4, AM5, and LGA 1700, so you can confidently use it with most modern processors. The focus is on a liquid solution with lower noise under load – up to 31 dBA (MAX). It is suitable if you want a clean look, ARGB effects, and a more serious thermal capacity compared to a standard box cooler.

What you get

Here you have a liquid cooler that relies on liquid to dissipate heat from the CPU, rather than solely on a massive aluminum radiator and airflow. Compatibility with AM4 and AM5 means you can install it on a wide range of Ryzen processors – from older Zen generations to the latest ones. LGA 1700 covers the current Intel platforms, which is a plus if you plan upgrades or frequent platform changes. The maximum noise level of 31 dBA means that even under a heavier load on the CPU, the system remains relatively quiet, especially in a closed case. The 4 PIN fan connector provides PWM control through the motherboard, so you can set finer cooling and noise profiles.

• A liquid cooler that uses liquid to dissipate heat from the processor, providing better thermal capacity than standard air solutions in the same price range.
• Compatibility with sockets AM4 and AM5, covering a large portion of AMD's Ryzen processors – convenient if you switch between generations without changing the cooler.
• Support for LGA 1700, so you can use it with current Intel processors without the need for additional mounting kits.
• Maximum noise level of 31 dBA, which is suitable for gaming and working in rooms where you don't want constant noise from the machine.
• 4 PIN fan connector, providing PWM control through BIOS or software, to adjust the balance between temperatures and silence according to your needs.
• ARGB lighting that allows you to visually synchronize the cooler with the rest of the lighting in the case for a more cohesive and organized look.
• The black color of the cooler helps it fit easily into most builds – from minimalist to fully RGB-filled setups.

Who it is suitable for

This cooler is a logical choice if you are building a mid-range or more serious gaming/work build on AM4, AM5, or LGA 1700 and want liquid cooling with lower noise. It is suitable for configurations where you also care about aesthetics, thanks to the ARGB and LCD elements, but you don't want to get into extreme high-end custom loop solutions. If you are aiming for a maximum budget build or a small, super-simplified computer, it may be somewhat excessive compared to a basic air cooler.

The combination of liquid cooling, support for the three main modern sockets, and controllable noise up to 31 dBA makes this model a good balance between performance, silence, and flexibility for future upgrades.
