Lian Li HydroShift AIO - Temperatures and Stress Tests

This definitely doesn't fall into the "budget" category, but for those looking for an AIO that is more than just an AIO, the HydroShift might be for you! Also, for those looking for extreme budget options, we are looking at the Thermalright ultra cheap AIO very soon!

The thing being $200 is not quite as bad as I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be $250+.

The real test of any new AIO nowadays is "can it cool the 13900k or 14900k"

They need to put Infinity fans on all of their AIOs. They are the most popular, people just switch them anyway. I've come to realize I have no idea what people consider expensive is.

I wish they would spend more time on the cold plate density and hardware instead of gimmicks. And they need to make then with longer tubing as well.

I really like Lian Li's cooling solutions, especially the fans they're releasing. However, the design of most of the scene on the CPU waterblock screen is giving me major cheap smartwatch vibes. Or something out of a 2000s Winamp skin. Looks really weird, I wouldn't want this on my system.

I don't think $200 is a lot for a 360 aio with a screen, TBH I think it's on the cheaper side

tbf the corsair link aio is $225 currently on Amazon, so I was expecting higher for this one. Not bad.

In Norway i payed aprox 350$ for an Corsair iCUE H150i 360mm RGB ELITE, paired with an i7 14700k, but then i bought a i9 14900f for my lady, and paired it with Lian Li Performance 360 radiator.. and i can see the difference for sure, even if the Lian Li is way cheaper, it performs better.

LianLi = always premium price, but mostly innovative. That has a price.

Why can't anyone just add a fill port to radiator it can't be that hard to put a blanking plug that can be unscrewed to refill or clean

I want more cheap custom loop parts videos. Finding what's good on AliExpress is very hard. Pumps and rads in particular.

I've had 2 x Galahad 240's pumps fail after 12-18 months each. Avoid.

I bought the tl version to match their infinity fans and installed it in a y70 all black build and I love it. Aio tubes just hanging around were always an issue and tying them up wasn't an ideal fix, but with this and a nice little lian li strimer mod I did you see no tubes in my build at all. Not only can you screen capture an image, but screen record 3 minutes of video in mp4 format or upload mp4 videos instead of using gifs.

It looks really neat!

I wonder if I'll ever get to the point in WoWs, were I even catch a glimpse of Adm. Jay.🤣

Just like most everything else from Lian Li…..quality and functionality are priority one. You get what you pay for whether you asked for it or not, lol. I personally use and fully enjoy all my Lian Li products and always feel that the quality is always worth the price if you have the budget. I just upgraded from a Lian Li o11 Dynamic XL that I have used for years to a Lian Li o11 Dynamic EVO XL and purchased the 900mm riser cable and vertical side mounting kit. This new case is HUGE and with all the mounting options the case still has a ton of space to grow. Everything looks so very clean and neat it is amazing. If they make a 420mm version of this cooler I will save up and hope to find one. It would be amazing in the case. I Love Lian Li!!!! Thanks Jay and crew!

I am still waiting for clips to hold the fans to the radiator instead of screws, I just want to be able to pop them on and off to clean in between them fast and easy. You have to take them off because when you hit the radiator with air it sends the dust right into the fan bearings which kills your fans. it's a real problem spot for dust and lint collecting.

Nice AIO!!

I am using it and overall very happy. I did struggle a little bit with the installation (as I have heard from other reviewers as well) but I got it eventually (the plastic pieces going onto the backing plate were not seated all the way so I know it was my fault but was not clear during the installation). I changed from the Deepcool Mystique 360 since the warranty got cancelled after they got caught by the US government and I did not want to risk it (and I was under the 30 day exchange period with Amazon thank goodness). So I looked around for something similar and purchased the Lian Li mostly for the stealthy look with the hoses (which I do really like). I will say it cools great however when first powering on my machine the fans do get really loud however once into Windows the fans quiet down and are barely noticeable. Interesting not here is the Deepcool (which had a better resolution/larger screen) was much easier to install however when monitoring the pump (using the software) it would occasionally go to 0 rpm and then go back to 2,000 rpm. The Lian Li I have noticed the pump is always showing on so a little weird goings on with the Deepcool (I did not delve into whether it was the software misreporting or the pump was truly shutting off and on again at times). I like the Lian Li software much more. One last thing not mentioned in your video is the size of the radiator and fans. The radiator on this model is 31mm thick along with 28mm thick fans so you need to make sure you have enough room both top to bottom and front to rear (as this just barely fitted into my case length wise since it is a little longer (due to hose routing) than other 360 coolers so your mileage may vary dependent on the case. Thanks for the video.
