Hydroshift II LCD-C 360TL
Scenario 3: Coolant Tubing Management
This section addresses coolant tubing management when fan-mount-to-motherboard clearance is insufficient. It is recommended to first diagonally secure the radiator and temporarily place the water block without locking. If the water block cannot latch onto the bracket, or if the folded coolant tubing arc protrudes excessively and presses against fans, this scenario applies. This is noted for specific case models like Lancool 207, 011D Mini V2, and V100, which may have incompatible standard mounting.
In such cases, the upright bracket must be removed (after removing the water cooling system), and the positions of the two tube brackets should be adjusted. It is advised to adjust the tube bracket to a position slightly offset to the right of the CPU.
Diagram Description: An illustration shows a PC case with a radiator and fans. It depicts the process of adjusting a tube bracket, routing tubing towards the rear of the case, and mentions using tube clamps depending on spatial constraints. Another diagram shows the upright bracket.

Transmitter Installation
To install the transmitter, remove its protective cover and insert it into any available USB port on the host computer to complete the setup. This enables wireless control.
Diagram Description: An illustration shows the transmitter component with its USB connector, and an arrow pointing towards a USB port on a computer case.
Wiring Guide
It is recommended to connect the 4-pin fan cable to the motherboard's CPU_FAN header to prevent BIOS error reporting. The USB cable can remain unconnected if not using Real-Time Mode.
After connecting the L-Wireless 2.4G Controller (transmitter), lighting and screen effects can be controlled via software. The receiver requires a 4-pin power connector to operate.
Regarding power supply: If the motherboard's power supply is sufficient, connecting one PWM cable is adequate. If the power supply is insufficient, both PWM cables need to be plugged into the motherboard.
Diagram Description: Illustrations show the connection of 4-pin PWM fan cables to motherboard headers (CPU_FAN) and USB headers. It also details the connection of the 4-pin power connector for the receiver.
Gameplay Modes and Features
Mode Overview
The Hydroshift II LCD-C 360TL supports three primary modes for controlling screen themes, animations, and lighting effects:
Feature | Offline Mode (No USB) | Real-Time Mode (via USB) | Wireless Mode (via 2.4G Controller) |
---|---|---|---|
Connectivity | No USB connection | Connected via USB | Connected via L-Wireless 2.4G Controller (transmitter required) |
Software Control | Limited (manual rotation for basic effects) | Full software control for screen, animations, lighting | Full software control for screen, animations, lighting |
Lighting Effects | Manual rotation for basic effects; software control via transmitter | Customizable per-fan-zone RGB lighting | Customizable per-zone RGB lighting |
Fan Speed | Manual rotation for basic speed; software control via transmitter | Real-time adjustment of PWM speed profiles | Dynamic fan speed adjustments |
Screen Customization | Cycle through preset backgrounds/lighting via rotation | Switch official themes, upload DIY themes, edit lighting effects | Switch official themes, upload DIY themes, edit lighting effects |
Transmitter Requirement | Optional (for software control) | Not required | Required |
Offline Mode Details
In Offline Mode, without a USB connection, the water block's transparent component can be rotated. Clockwise rotation cycles through screen backgrounds, while counterclockwise rotation cycles through lighting effects. Basic manual adjustments for lighting and display settings are possible. For more advanced control over fan lighting effects and speed, the L-Wireless 2.4G Controller (transmitter) and accompanying software are required.
Real-Time Mode Details
Connecting via USB enables Real-Time Mode. The official software allows comprehensive control over screen themes, animations, and lighting effects. This mode facilitates real-time adjustment of per-fan-zone RGB lighting and PWM speed profiles. Users can also upload custom DIY themes and edit lighting effects.
Wireless Mode Details
In Wireless Mode, connect to the L-Wireless 2.4G Controller (transmitter required). The official software provides control over screen themes, animations, and lighting effects. This mode allows per-zone RGB lighting customization and dynamic fan speed adjustments. Even without a USB cable connection, the transmitter enables the use of the official software for editing display content, switching themes, and customizing lighting.
USB Cable Removal
The USB cable of the radiator can be removed when Real-Time Mode is not in use. To remove the USB cable, press and hold the terminal before pulling it out. After removal, the decorative cover can be reinstalled onto the radiator.
Diagram Description: Illustrations show the USB cable port on the radiator, indicating that the cable cannot be pulled out directly. It highlights the specific point to press and hold to remove the terminal and shows the decorative cover being reinstalled.
