Advanced Display and Customization
The centerpiece of the HydroShift II is its 6.67-inch curved OLED screen, featuring a 2288 x 1048 resolution and up to 500 nits of brightness. A diffused ARGB light strip complements the display. What sets it apart is the motorized dual-axis mechanism, controlled through Lian Li’s L-Connect 3 software, which enables vertical lift and up to 45 degrees of tilt. This allows users to easily adjust the display for optimal viewing of 3D content or system information without opening the PC case. The display supports various layouts, including full-screen, split-view, and triple-split, and can even function as a secondary monitor or an off-mode clock. The magnetic hot-swappable module with a pogo-pin connector simplifies installation and reduces the risk of damage during handling.
Performance and Fan Options
The HydroShift II OLED Curved 360 is offered in three configurations to cater to different user preferences. The HydroShift II OLED Curved 360TL comes with UNI FAN TL FLEX fans, known for their LCP blades and speeds up to 2600 RPM. The HydroShift II OLED Curved 360P28 includes UNI FAN P28 V2 fans, designed for higher airflow and pressure, reaching speeds up to 3000 RPM. A Fanless option is also available for users who wish to pair the cooler with their own fans. The pump includes a Turbo mode that can increase its speed to 2800 RPM for demanding workloads, alongside standard Fixed RPM and PWM modes for quieter operation. The cooler features a slim 24mm thick 360mm radiator, enhancing compatibility with a wider range of PC cases.
Design and Integration
Lian Li continues its signature clean aesthetic with the HydroShift II by routing the tubing along the side of the radiator and concealing the wiring. An adjustable tube routing system further aids in creating a tidy build. While performance on Intel platforms is strong, reviews suggest that on AMD, it falls slightly behind top-tier coolers, though still provides adequate cooling. The build quality is generally good, though the mounting hardware’s design can make consistent thermal paste application a bit tricky. A notable design constraint is that the concealed tubing setup looks best when the AIO is mounted at the top of a case, potentially limiting its appeal in builds with front or side AIO installations. The cooler is backed by a six-year warranty for the AIO itself, and a three-year warranty for the OLED display and fans.
Pricing and Availability
The Lian Li HydroShift II OLED Curved 360 will be available starting May 22nd, 2026. Pricing is set at $339.99 / €339.99 for the 360TL version, $299.99 / €299.99 for the 360P28 version, and $279.99 / €279.99 for the Fanless version, available in both black and white color options.
