Lian Li G89.GHS2OLDC36NW.00 White AIO Liquid CPU Cooler

An all-in-one liquid cooler gives you the benefits of water cooling without building a custom loop. The pump, tubing and radiator come as one closed system, so there are no fittings to tighten, no reservoir to fill and no coolant to mix. Liquid carries heat away from the processor to the radiator, where fans move it out of the case. For most builders that means a cleaner installation and more room around the CPU socket than a bulky tower cooler.

Compatibility is usually the first thing to check with a CPU cooler, and this Lian Li covers four popular desktop sockets. On the Intel side it supports LGA 1700 and LGA 1851; on the AMD side it fits Socket AM4 and Socket AM5. That gives you flexibility now and later: if you switch platforms when you upgrade, there is a good chance this cooler can move with you to the new motherboard.

Support for both LGA 1700 and LGA 1851 means the cooler suits Intel desktop boards from the LGA 1700 era as well as the newer LGA 1851 platform. If you are building on LGA 1700 today and plan to move to LGA 1851 later, you can keep the same cooler rather than buying a new one. That makes it a sensible long-term part for Intel builders who upgrade in stages.

AMD users get the same flexibility. Socket AM4 has powered several generations of Ryzen desktop processors and is still common in upgrade builds, while Socket AM5 is AMD's newer platform. With both listed, the cooler works whether you are refreshing an existing AM4 system or putting together a new AM5 machine, and it can stay with you if you later move from one platform to the other.

Looks matter in a windowed case, and the cooler is the part that sits front and centre on the motherboard. The white finish is made for white and light-coloured builds, where a black cooler would break up the theme. Pair it with a white case, motherboard or graphics card and the whole system looks deliberate and coordinated, without needing paint or covers to match the colour scheme.

Because one cooler covers four sockets across two brands, it is a practical choice if you are not yet sure which platform your next upgrade will use. Buy it once and the cooling side of your build is sorted. Before ordering, check that your case can take an all-in-one cooler's radiator, since the manufacturer's listing here does not specify radiator size, fan count or dimensions.

This Lian Li cooler suits gamers, creators and PC enthusiasts building or upgrading on LGA 1700, LGA 1851, AM4 or AM5 who want all-in-one liquid cooling in white. It works especially well for themed builds where appearance counts as much as function, and for anyone who likes to keep parts across platform changes. If you want liquid cooling without a custom loop, it is well worth a look.
