Packaging

Lian Li's packaging starts out by showing the HydroShift LCD 360S AIO in all its glory on the front. The aluminium side plate is shown off along with the IPS display and its unique tubing layout. Furthermore, they also list the warranty of six years clearly, along with the need for their L-Connect 3 software. Moving to the left side you will find the shift tubing design feature that keeps things looking clean and minimalistic. As for the back it has the cooler's specifications along with the supported sockets which are limited to Intel's LGA1700 and AMD's AM4 and AM5 platforms.


On the right side Lian Li details the pump and CPU block's coolant pathway with a breakdown image that shows the overall design which has been optimized for water flow and maximizing pressure. Taking a look at the top you get a full color image showing the HydroShift's dimensions with the tubing cover and routing. It's nice to see this addressed as the new feature does mean there may be some limitations in regard to case compatibility. The company also notes that the fans are compatible with the UNI FAN P28's side ARGB kit. Finally, the bottom details the L-Connect 3 software and some of its features such as the preset themes and layouts, visual effects and customization options.

Inside the box, you'll find the typical cardboard tray with a piece of thin foam sitting on top. While adequate, it doesn't offer the same level of protection as foam which I have seen being used more and more often even on more value oriented offerings. Still, everything arrived in pristine shape with no problems to report.


Intel and AMD socket support is rather limited in that only Intel's LGA1700 along with AMD's AM4 and AM5 sockets being supported. If you are looking to upgrade an older system using Intel's other sockets you are out of luck this time.
