Lian Li AIO Liquid CPU Cooler 120mm White LGA 1851 AM5

An all-in-one liquid cooler arrives as a closed, pre-filled loop, so there is no tubing to cut, no reservoir to fill and no coolant to top up. Heat is drawn away from the processor by the pump block and carried to the radiator, where the fan pushes it out of the case. Compared with building a custom water loop, installation is far simpler. It also suits builders who want liquid cooling without extra upkeep.

The cooler uses a 120 mm fan, one of the most widely supported sizes in PC cases. That makes it practical for compact mid-tower and small form factor builds with a 120 mm mounting position, where a 240 mm or 360 mm radiator would not fit. Before buying, check that your case has a free 120 mm mount at the front, top or rear. Also make sure there is enough room for the radiator and its tubing.

On the Intel side, the cooler is listed as compatible with LGA 1700 and LGA 1851. These sockets cover 12th, 13th and 14th generation Core processors as well as the newer Core Ultra desktop chips. If you plan to move from an LGA 1700 board to an LGA 1851 platform, the same cooler is listed for both sockets. That lets you carry it over to your next build instead of replacing it.

AMD users are covered as well, with support for Socket AM4 and Socket AM5. That spans a broad range of Ryzen desktop processors, from established AM4 systems to current AM5 builds. Because both sockets are listed, the cooler works for upgrading an older Ryzen machine or fitting out a brand-new AM5 system. You can stay with one cooling solution even if you change motherboard generation later.

The white colourway is designed for builds with a bright, coordinated look. It sits naturally alongside white cases, motherboards, cables and other components, and it is easy to see through a glass side panel. Lian Li is well known for its PC cases and fans, and this cooler follows the brand's focus on a tidy, consistent interior. It suits builders who care about how the inside of the system looks as much as how it performs.

This cooler is a good fit for anyone building or upgrading a compact Intel or AMD desktop who wants liquid cooling in a single 120 mm format. It suits white-themed builds and small cases with limited radiator space. It also works for users replacing a stock air cooler with something neater around the CPU socket. Gamers, home office users and first-time builders can all benefit from its straightforward all-in-one design.
