Weird results Justin, mine performs better than the Ryujin 3 by 4 degrees celsius in a 20 degree room(7600X tested, my 7800X3D wont show much difference). Might want to check your mounting and make sure L Connect is installed.
We actually remount the system to ensure this is the case and see if there is a difference in temps. Also understand a 7600x is very different than a 7700x and higher in how it performs.
The Ryujin 3 seems like the superior cooler, but everywhere I look, people say the VRM Fan is too loud. So I can't decide if I should get the NZXT Kraken Elite, the Hydro Shift, or the Ryujin 3 for my 7800 X3D.
@@vannyf328 I replaced an Arctic liquid freezer 2 360 aio. Performance wise, it's the the same. Aesthetically completely better because the tubes are not exposed.
On your Hydroshift radiator, is the "Lian Li" lettering facing outward, visible from outside the case? If so, would it be possible to rotate the radiator so the lettering faces inward into the case, hidden from view? Or would that not be possible?
I like the hoses being tucked away. But I'm sort of afraid that even if I installed it with Push / Pull fans the hoses wouldn't be long enough not to kink. Oh and I suspect that the L Connect software is using that much CPU is down to the screen on the Pump / Block. I'm just running fans and L Connect is using approximately 0.5% of my CPU.
I bought this for a new build and thought it would just work out of the box with the L-Connect, but the L-Connect doesn't recognize it as even being present, has no controls for it, the lights for the fans don't turn on only flashing brightly for a quarter second, and the LCD doesn't appear to ever turn on, just a flat black screen the entire time. Been nothing but disappointed in this since I got it.
I have a question are the fans from the 360s also separated, I don’t know if the fans are different from the 360R and 360TL, I like the no RGB on the fans so I was wondering if there’s any 3 packs and 1 pack for the fans so they can all be the same.
All 3 versions of Hydroshifts have different fans. 360S has P28 fans, 360TL has TL (non LCD) fans. Both these types of fans has no RGB on the blades and can be bought separately if needed. 360R... Well, i've never seen these fans selling anywhere. Looks like it's cheaper model made specially for aio
Does the pump have to be turned where the hoses come in to the top? I know you don’t want them on the bottom but could you put them on the side and just rotate the screen in the software?
Hi.✌️ Can you (or someone else) please tell me whether you can control the RGB zones of these fans separately in L-Connect? So that you e.g. can only illuminate the two strips on the edge of the fans but can deactivate the inner fan blades? Just like the Uni fans SL Infinty? 👀🙏🙏🙏🙏
I find these numbers hard to believe - how is that even possible to have 10~ degree C difference in gaming between Asus Ryujin lll and Lian Li hydroshift? It's not like they are that different in radiator/fan thickness or else (someting is off here). Half a year ago I have purchased THE best AIO on the market ( EK Nucleus CR360 as all the reviews CROWNED it the best AIO cooler) but it turned out that the performance was on par with my Deepcool Castle 360 and if that's not enough? now I'm thermal throttling in the summer months (26 degrees C room temperature) on my ryzen 7600x (running cinebench R23 CPU lowers the clock speeds and keeps it at 94 C).Long story short: I think it's a Fuck!ng joke as I can't keep my 7600x without thermal throttling in worst case scenarios with ''THE best'' (so so good) AIO on the market ,or maybe there is something wrong with my unit? I doubt that. But still... take these reviews with a grain of salt :)
I dislike seeing videos like these after purchase... Unfortunately any aio for me is expensive being that I don't live in the states, I purchased the rimple one without rgb to cool a Ryzen 9 7900x and I feel doomed now... Any thoughts
@@robeytech thank you. I ordered this with the Lian Li edge PSu. I like my SL120 v2 fans. I’m currently running Corsair h150i AIO with Lian Li Sl120 v2 and it does the cooling better than the fans the AIO was included.

@@mauroblardony7703On your radiator, does the "Lian Li" lettering face outward or inward? I personally find lettering distracting and am wondering if it's possible to flip the Hydroshift radiator around so the "Lian Li" lettering faces inward into the case.
I want to like Lian Li Hydroshift and the TL fans, but they all require L-Connect. I have experienced bad memory leaks with L-Connect before, to the point I reconnected my Galahad AIO and infinity fans to PWM headers instead just so I can remove L-Connect permanently. Since then I decided for all future builds, I will only use fans and AIO that can connect to PWM headers. This unfortunately also mean Hydroshift and the TL fans are out of list, along with all Corsair ICue link products.
I feel you, I hate all the insanely bloated, resource hogging peripheral RGB software out there -- all the companies are guilty of it. From a technical standpoint, there's absolutely zero reason software like this should need as much resources as they use ...and continuously! RGB control could easily be handled by a simple one-off control packet over serial I/O, or handled onboard devices by a cheap microcontroller + NAND. Have you tried any of the third-party RGB control software like SignalRGB, OpenRGB, JackNetRGB? Curious if they're any better.
I have the DeepCool Mystique 360 a really Fantastic AIO, Got it new for £129 UK.. My 5900x is 33c idle and around 60c full throttle.. The fans idle are 680 - 700rpm.. If I hadn't upgraded my AIO only 2 months ago, I would probably get TL version..
I'm getting rid of the Mystique, unfortunately the loud whirring noise is really loud and distracting. I thought it would be able to ignore it, but it's on and off, so I notice it activating and deactivating. It's really jarring.
@@Vialli100. mine is literally the pump. I've messed around with the fans speed, to locate where the noise is coming from. I've opened the case and put my actual ear inside and it's definitely the pump lol. It's not a steady noise, it's constantly on/off Fans are silent.
I suspect that the mediocre cooling performance of this AIO comes from all of the steep bends in the tubes when mounted to hide the tubes. Those are going to restrict water flow.
Idk. My friend just got one of these and the only real bend is up where it terminates into the rad and even then the tubes are wide open. I really just think his data got thrown off due to abnormal cpu usage. Every other review has the normal .3-3% cpu usage and show temps as good or better than previous lian li models. Abnormal cpu usage is a pretty typical “bug” with lian li lcd screens but it’s very easy to fix. Just takes a few minutes. Doesn’t seem like he took the time to fix it. I would take his numbers with a grain of salt

They definitely have something going on in their tests that is wrong. Probably some software issue with l connect that is causing high cpu usage.
