Colorful launches iGame X870E Vulcan W OC motherboard with onboard display

27 August 2026 at 16:30

Colorful has announced the iGame X870E Vulcan W OC, an all‑white flagship AM5 motherboard aimed at high‑end CPU overclocking. Priced at ¥3,999 RMB (around $600), the board pairs an 18+2+2‑phase 110A DrMOS power design with a built‑in 268×800p display and support for high‑speed DDR5 memory.

Built on a 10‑layer server‑grade PCB, the X870E Vulcan W OC motherboard uses a heat pipe and fin array similar to GPU coolers to keep VRMs under control during heavy workloads. Two DDR5 slots support up to 128GB, with speeds up to DDR5‑8800+ on Ryzen 9000, DDR5‑10600+ on Ryzen 8000 and DDR5‑8000+ on Ryzen 7000 processors. Onboard controls include a Debug display, BIOS switch, BCLK adjustment and a one‑click overclocking button. Colorful says the board also supports X3D AI High Frame Rate Mode for Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs.

Storage options include five M.2 slots — two PCIe 5.0 x4 and three PCIe 4.0 x4 — alongside two SATA 6Gbps ports. Expansion consists of a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot. Rear I/O offers two 40Gbps USB4 Type‑C ports, 4K display output, 5G LAN, Wi‑Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, while front‑panel headers include a 20Gbps USB‑C connector with 60W power delivery.

The board features a white PCB with geometric heatsinks finished in an iridescent coating, producing shifting colour reflections depending on ambient light.

KitGuru says: At this price point, the iGame X870E is going to be reserved for a select few with deep pockets.

Colorful announces limited-edition Chitu MAG-60 magnetic keyboard

21 June 2026 at 15:00

Colorful has announced the Chitu MAG-60 magnetic switch keyboard, a 60% layout model limited to 300 units worldwide. Scheduled for launch on June 30, the keyboard features exclusive magnetic switches and TMR sensing technology, along with an 8000Hz polling rate.

This keyboard draws design inspiration from the 2026 Chinese zodiac Year of the Horse, featuring an Alcantara suede top cover, leather side accents, and a CNC-machined T6 aluminum chassis. Each unit includes laser-engraved serial numbering and two custom artisan-made metal keycaps.

The core functionality relies on TTC Year of the Horse “White Horse” magnetic switches rated for a 100-million-keystroke lifespan. These switches integrate a triple-layer acoustic module, which works alongside a top-mount suspended structure and four layers of sound-dampening material to reduce resonance. Five-sided dye-sublimated PBT keycaps sit atop the transparent housings, allowing the integrated RGB illumination to shine through.

Performance features include TMR sensing technology, which Colorful states lowers power consumption by up to 90% and triples thermal stability compared to standard Hall-effect solutions. The system delivers a 0.005mm RT trigger precision, 0.125ms latency, and an 8,000Hz polling rate. Configuration is handled through a browser-based driver platform that allows modification of actuation distances, Rapid Trigger settings, and macros without the need for dedicated software.

The keyboard will be available for the equivalent of £270/€310 (2399 yuan). However, its launch price will be reduced to £245/€285. Orders placed during the launch period will also receive a limited-quantity 0.1g 999 pure gold horse as a gift.

KitGuru says: Would you be willing to pay this much for this highly limited magnetic keyboard?

Colorful unveils limited edition 007 First Light graphics card

28 May 2026 at 15:30

Colorful has introduced the iGame GeForce RTX 5070 Ultra OC 12GB x 007 First Light Edition, a limited-edition graphics card featuring a custom backplate with artwork from the game. 

The graphics card adopts a black, greyscale, and metallic gold colour scheme layered over the shroud. The back features a custom metal backplate bearing the official key art for the game.

The new limited-edition version is essentially the same as the iGame RTX 5070 Ultra OC in all other aspects outside of the custom coat of paint.

Colorful has confirmed that the limited-edition graphics card will be on display at Computex 2026, but pricing and availability are currently unknown.

KitGuru says: Have you already tried 007 First Light? Would you like to have this themed graphics card?

Colorful launches iGame B850M Ultra micro-ATX motherboards

21 May 2026 at 16:30

Colorful has introduced the iGame B850M Ultra series of motherboards for AMD Ryzen platforms, including two models – the iGame B850M Ultra-S and iGame B850M Ultra-OC. The new microATX motherboards feature an all-black design with matte-finish cooling plates, matching the company's iGame GeForce RTX 50 Series Ultra graphics cards.

Both models support AMD Ryzen 9000 Series X3D processors and include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, PCIe 5.0 expansion, and support for AMD EXPO DDR5 memory. The expansion layout provides a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot equipped with a VGA snap-fit quick release, alongside PCIe 5.0 M.2 storage slots utilising an M.2 Quick Latch mechanism. Rear connectivity across the series features high-speed USB Type-C interfaces.

The iGame B850M Ultra-S targets overclocking applications, featuring a 14+2+1-phase 80A DrMOS power delivery system with dual 8-pin CPU connectors. It houses four reinforced DDR5 DIMM slots supporting a total memory capacity of up to 256GB and overclocked speeds up to DDR5-8400. Storage configurations include three M.2 slots (two PCIe 5.0 x4 and one PCIe 4.0 x4) paired with quick-release heatsinks, while a 2.5Gb Ethernet controller and Wi-Fi 7 handle networking.

The iGame B850M Ultra-OC is configured for mainstream setups, with a 10+2+1-phase 60A DrMOS power design. It features a dual-DIMM memory layout to optimise signal integrity, supporting AMD EXPO profiles at DDR5-8400 and manual memory tuning up to DDR5-8800. Storage is expanded to four high-speed M.2 slots across PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0 interfaces, while the wired network controller is upgraded to 5Gb Ethernet.

Colorful brings Wi-Fi 7 to the mid-range with new B860M and B760M Battle-Ax motherboards

29 April 2026 at 17:00

Colorful has updated its mainstream motherboard lineup with the launch of the refreshed Battle-Ax series. This release focuses on bringing the latest wireless standards to value-oriented builders, introducing both the B860M-Plus S WIFI7 and the B760M-Plus S WIFI7.

Positioned as the flagship of this refresh, the B860M-Plus S WIFI7 is engineered for Intel Core Ultra 200S-series processors. To handle the power demands of these new chips, Colorful has implemented a 10+1+1+1-phase 60A DrMOS power design to ensure stable voltage delivery even under sustained loads. As for storage support, the board features three M.2 slots, one of which supports PCIe 5.0 x4. On the memory front, four reinforced slots support dual-channel DDR5 at speeds reaching 8800 MT/s. Notably, Colorful has optimised this board for single-DIMM performance, a feature rarely seen on other boards. Building is also simplified by a tool-free GPU quick-release mechanism and M.2 heatsink designs, which remove the friction often found in compact Micro-ATX assemblies.

For those looking to maximise their current hardware or build with more affordable components, the B760M-Plus S WIFI7 targets the market sweet spot. Supporting Intel 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Core processors, this board sticks with DDR4 memory support (up to 4800 MHz OC), allowing upgraders to reuse existing kits while still gaining modern features like Wi-Fi 7 and 5GbE LAN.

Despite its value positioning, the B760M model doesn't cut corners. It boasts a 12+1+1-phase 60 A DrMOS power stage, making it capable of comfortably handling high-TDP chips. It also features a reinforced PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, ensuring full compatibility with next-generation graphics cards. Storage is handled by three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, each with a full-coverage heatsink to prevent thermal throttling.

KitGuru says: With current market conditions, motherboards such as Colorful's new Battle-Ax models are far more important than any £1000 flagship motherboard.
