I'm a newbie to the AIO cooling world and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed about choosing the right one. I want to keep my budget in check, but I also want to ensure I'm selecting the right cooler for my setup. Here are the parts I currently have:
- AIO I'm considering: ASUS Prime LC 360 ARGB All-in-one AIO CPU Liquid Cooler
- Case: Lian Li LANCOOL 205
- Motherboard: ASUS Prime Z790 Gaming Wifi7
- CPU: Intel I9-14900K
I also upgraded my GPU to an XFX Radeon 7900XT Mercury 310, which required me to remove a front fan, causing my case temperature to rise by about 7-10 degrees. This increase happens whether I'm idling or gaming, and I really want to keep my system cool and well-prepared for the future. Can someone help me figure out if this AIO cooler will fit in my case? Thanks in advance!

Before you purchase that AIO, make sure you have the right version of the Lian Li LANCOOL 205. There are a few different versions, and clearance can vary depending on your model. Also, I’d suggest checking other brands too; I’ve heard that Asus can have some issues with RMA if anything goes wrong. Just a heads-up!
I have the plain 205 with the solid, detachable front. I’ve had good experiences with Asus products so far, and I really like their Armory Crate for monitoring, but I haven’t dealt with any RMA issues yet.
