Computex 2026: Arctic Xtender Mini, new Freezer coolers and more

15 June 2026 at 13:00

In our final booth tour of Computex 2026, we visited Arctic to see their new line-up, including the new Xtender Mini PC case, new Freezer series coolers, an extremely handy (and cheap) fan hub, and more. 

Watch via YouTube below:

At the top of our list is the new Freezer 61 CPU cooler, available in black or white colour options, as well as with or without ARGB lighting. These are dual-tower air coolers, equipped with a P14 Pro Reverse fan in the middle, and a P12 Pro ARGB fan on the outside.

Arctic has another range of fans worth mentioning today – the new Bionix P12 and P14. These fans add daisychain support to the mix, so you can power up to three fans with a single cable. Each fan is also kitted out with 16 individual ARGB LEDs.

Arctic also has its new fan controller, capable of controlling up to ten fans. Using the correct software, in this case they are using the SignalRGB app, you can have individual fan curves and speeds set for all ten fans in the hub. It should only cost around €15 too, which seems like a bargain.

The Arctic Xtender chassis series is now being joined by a new Mini option. This is a Micro-ATX model, with four pre-installed fans out of the box, but support for up to seven case fans in total. This new version will be shipping later this year and should also be available in bundles with the Liquid Freezer 3 Pro AIO cooler, which could be very handy for a new PC build.

Computex 2026: Adata XPG’s new PC cases, coolers, monitors and more

15 June 2026 at 09:00

At Computex earlier this month, we visited Adata XPG to get a look at their new consumer-oriented products, including new CPU coolers, PC cases, gaming monitors and more. 

Watch via YouTube below:

Timestamps:

01:44 PSU units
03:45 New XPG coolers
04:45 System-wide fan control
05:47 Aperture monitors
06:23 Peripherals

Adata's gaming focused brand XPG had a lot to show for the consumer market over the next few months.

At the top of our list is the new XPG Invader X 2 and Valor Air 2 PC cases. The Invader is a compact case with a wrap-around glass window so you can see your build from multiple angles. While most cases like this don't offer a hinge, the Invader X 2 actually does, so you can easily swing the window off to make adjustments inside the case. The Valor Air 2 has a similar layout, trading in some of the glass for extra mesh intakes and fan slots at the front.

There are multiple XPG power supply ranges hitting the market. The Core Reactor 3 series offers 80Plus Gold efficiency and modular cables. This is the same power supply you'll also find inside of Razer's external GPU products.

On the peripheral front we have the XPG Seeker and XPG Slingshot. The Seeker is a wireless keyboard, offering membrane low-profile keys, but with 34 hours of wireless battery life with a minimal six-minute charging time. The Slingshot is XPG's lightweight wireless gaming mouse, coming in at 55g, with up to 4000DPI on the sensor, 42 hours of battery life on a single charge.

For cooling, the XPG Maestro Infinity 62DA could be a good option for anyone who wants to go with an air cooler over an AIO. It offers a dual tower heatsink to target high-TDP processors, with ARGB lighting on the fans and around the infinity mirror on the top cover. If you'd rather have an integrated display covering the heatsink, then the Maestro View 62DA is for you.

Finally, XPG is also releasing gaming monitors now. At the Computex stand we saw the Aperture A27F4, which uses a Fast IPS HD panel with up to 240Hz refresh rate. The Aperture A27Q1 is a step above, offering a QHD Fast IPS panel instead.

Computex 2026: Lian Li’s new LCD fans, curved OLED AIOs and new PC cases

12 June 2026 at 13:00

In our latest Computex 2026 video, Leo checks out all the latest from Lian Li, including the new Lancool 207 XL, the new 011D EVO RGB V2, as well as new coolers and the latest updates to the Uni Fan range.

Watch via YouTube below:

Timestamps:
00:00 O11D Evo RGB V2
01:59 LanCool 4
03:13 UX100
04:10 Hydroshift II OLED Curved 360
04:55 Edge Platinum V2

05:57 SX 1000G
06:22 V2000
06:40 Lancool 207XL
08:12 Fans
08:51 B4-MATX

The 011D EVO RGB V2 changes things up with a removable glass panel that separates your AIO CPU cooler from the rest of the build, effectively creating a third chamber, with its own airflow path that doesn't interfere with the cooling for the rest of your system. The glass panel is removable, so you can have a full glass front with no mesh and have a more conventional layout inside of the case if you prefer. This case is expected hit the market soon at around $170.

The UX100 is a new mid-tower adopting the newly emerging ‘floating' design, where the main chamber has a little cut out that separates it from the basement compartment for additional airflow channels to the main section of the case. The basement compartment is where your power supply lives, separated from all of your main components. The main section also has a wrap-around glass front panel, so there is no pillar obstructing the view of your build. The example builds we saw on display looked very nice, so this is definitely one to watch if you have lots of RGB.

On the Lancool front, Lian Li has a new Lancool 207 XL version hitting the market. This one incorporates a pair of newly designed bottom-mounted cross-flow fans, which direct cool air directly towards the PCIe slots. It is targeting a pretty good price point too at $110.

The new Lian Li HydroShift 2 OLED AIO coolers were announced a few weeks ahead of Computex, but we were able to get a much closer look at it here at Computex. It looked great in many different builds, particularly with custom animations made to take advantage of the curved panel.

On top of all that, Lian Li has the new Uni Fan Flex series, including LCD variants that use a 1.8‑inch 400×400 display at the centre of the fan. These looked great when we saw them last year, and that continues to be the case with the latest versions.

Computex 2026: Enermax’s pumpless AIO, new fans, cases and more

12 June 2026 at 09:02

At Computex last week, we caught up with Enermax to see their fresh line-up of cooling hardware, including their first pumpless AIO, along with new PC and workstation cases and power supplies.

Watch via YouTube below:

02:31 PFii 120 Fans
02:52 Mariner Series of AIO
03:36 SuperX Digital Power partnership

We saw one other pumpless AIO unit at Computex this week over in the Noctua booth. Enermax is doing something similar with the PFA (Pump Free AIO) prototype. With this cooler, you get a two-phase, vapor chamber cooling design, where vapor is channeled up to the radiator to condense, before liquid travels back down another channel towards the CPU block. The idea here would be to eliminate noise, as well as eliminate potential long-term failure issues with mechanical parts like a pump. This tech isn't ready to hit the market just yet, but it will be interesting to see further developments.

For high-power workstations, the Mariner WST‑360E and WST‑360P coolers offer full‑coverage for HEDT processors, targeting up to 650W TDP and 800W TDP respectively. Enermax is also expanding its fan portfolio with the PF‑II 120, a 28mm‑thick aluminium‑frame model using LCP blades and a three‑phase motor for high‑speed stability.

The MaxTytan II 1650W ATX 3.1 PSU refreshes Enermax’s flagship line with Titanium‑grade efficiency, dual native 12V‑2×6 connectors and support for 235% power excursions, all backed by a 13‑year warranty.

On the chassis side, we have the new Enclave ATX and K9M Micro‑ATX cases. Both are built around panoramic tempered‑glass layouts that emphasise hardware visibility and modern cable‑management expectations. The Enclave ATX is the larger model, supporting up to three 360mm radiators simultaneously and shipping with seven pre‑installed ARGB PWM fans and an integrated lighting controller. The K9M is a more compact option for those building a Micro-ATX system.

Computex 2026: Sudokoo launches four new cases, improved MACH fans and coolers

11 June 2026 at 13:01

At Computex this week, we caught up with Sudokoo to check out their new LCP-based Mach fans, new CPU coolers, new cases and more.

Watch via YouTube below:

Timestamps:
00:00 Intro
00:33 New Mach fans
01:51 CPU vapour chamber cooling
03:36 New Sudokoo cases!
05:20 The AIO range

At the top of the list, we have Sudokoo's first white LCP-based performance fans, the MACH 120 / 140 WH. The Mach fans are built with a focus on delivering strong heatsink and radiator performance, making them ideal for CPU coolers. Sudokoo uses them throughout its cooling line-up, as you'll see from the other products we look at today.

For CPU air cooling, Sudokoo has the SK700V VC MACH, which is a new version of the SK700 with a vapor chamber base, cooled by a 30mm-thick MACH120 fan. There is also the MACH820 cooler, which also sports a vapor chamber design, but with an even thicker and larger 140mm fan. For AIOs, Sudokoo has the Energlo series, which sport thick CPU blocks with integrated displays on the front to show CPU temperatures, fan speeds and more, all while keeping prices at reasonable levels – a 360mm unit costs less than $100.

Sudokoo also has a new line of PC cases that we are looking forward to seeing. There are four new designs, the Lumen, Solar, Starlight and Aurora. The Lumen has a semi-covered perforated front panel for maximum airflow without the usual mesh aesthetic. The Solar swaps out the fully perforated front panel for mesh grills specifically over the two intake fans. The Aurora is Sudokoo's compact Micro-ATX option, and the Starlight is very similar to the Lumen but the IO has moved from the front to the side to make way for a cool ‘starlight' effect on the front panel.

Computex 2026: FSP shows new 3200W PSUs, new cases and coolers

10 June 2026 at 13:00

We checked in with FSP at Computex again this year, discovering a new 3200W power supply, along with new cases and cooling gear.

Watch via YouTube below:

Timestamps:
00:06 FSP’s New PSU range
01:58 New U501 workstation chassis
02:29 Consumer gaming cases
04:18 Server/data centre chassis

FSP's big focus this year, like many other companies, is workstations and datacentre products due to the booming AI market. FSP is well prepared to serve these customers, with high-wattage PSUs like the Cannon 3300W, the Twins Pro 1400W redundant unit and the Twins CRPS 3200W. For a more conventional high-end gaming build, the Titanium-rated Mega TI 1650W might be up your alley.

Just before Computex, FSP had also announced the DSP2000-57APB, a 2000W ATX 3.1 power supply designed with dual-GPU workstations in mind, as well as multi-socket motherboards.

If you are an enterprise customer, FSP does have a micro-customisation service, so you can request adjustments to things like cable length, connector layouts and cooling behaviour to speed up new hardware integration for system builders.

On the chassis front, we saw the new U501, a newer version of the U500 workstation case with a more compact frame, extra-large intake fans for better airflow, and an integrated GPU riser to keep your graphics cards from sagging.

The U560 is a new dual-chamber case designed with gaming PCs in mind. It has a removable vent at the front for easy access to your intake fans for maintenance, and has plenty of room for AIO liquid cooling and a full-sized graphics card.

The M581 takes on the newer fishtank look, with glass panels at both the front and side for a clean multi-angle view of the build inside. It is made with hidden-connector motherboards in mind, including a power supply shelf directly behind the motherboard tray, so you can do shorter runs to make cable management easier.

For cooling, the CF36A in black and white bring a new unified fan option to FSP's line-up, with three fans connected together and powered by a single cable. The new AW36-TR5 AIO cooler targets high-power Ryzen Threadripper builds. For gamers, there is the AL36 instead, which offers Intel and AMD socket support, along with an integrated display on the CPU block. The AD36 swaps out the display for a simpler digital block display that shows CPU temperature readings.

For air cooling, we spotted the ND5 and MP9. The ND5 has a stats display integrated on top of the heatsink while keeping a slim single-tower formfactor, while the MP9 is a massive dual-tower cooler for high-TDP CPUs.

It also supports the new wave of hidden connector motherboards while keeping the price down to a reasonable €89.90. If you want a more compact version, then there is also a Steel Shark Mini G and Mini M, offering the same dual-chamber layout, but in a more compact footprint and with room for fewer case fans.

Sharkoon also has the S25 series launching soon, available in three variants. The S25‑V2 provides a clean, understated design with two pre‑installed 120mm PWM fans, while the S25‑W2 ARGB adds ARGB fans and tempered glass for showing off your internals. There is also an S25 Silent that uses sound dampening materials to reduce fan noise.

On the power supply front, Sharkoon has the Rebel P20 Gen2, offering ATX 3.1 specs and Cybenetics Gold efficiency, along with modular cables, Japanese capacitors, a native 12V-2×6 connector and capacities up to 1000W.

Finally, for peripherals Sharkoon is showing a mix of brand-new and recently-launched products. The SKILLER SGM70W is a very lightweight mouse at 49g, and it has 8K polling too, making it a very good choice for competitive multiplayer games. Next to that is the FIREGLIDER One, which also weighs in at under 50g, but offers a PAW3311 sensor instead. The Drakonia 3 mouse is aimed at MMO players with its 12 extra buttons and extra-long battery life. For keyboards, Sharkoon has the PureWriter W100, which is aimed more at work-from-home setups rather than gamers with its low-profile, typing-centric design. For audio, Sharkoon has the Stealthbite IEMs, aiming to deliver greater accuracy and detail compared to typical earbuds.

This year, Gigabyte is celebrating its 40th Anniversary. Following on from the reveal of the RTX 5090 Infinity at CES, Gigabyte now has a range of other new ‘Infinity' products on the way, including a new flagship AM5 motherboard.

The X870E Aorus Infinity Next is particularly impressive with its 64-stage VRM, vapor-chamber cooling and metal backplate. On the software side, Gigabyte has created X3D Turbo Mode 2.0 for improved per-processor tuning for the new Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition processor. There is also a cheaper, standard X870 Aorus Infinity Next motherboard, offering support for ultra high-speed DDR5 memory.

On the graphics card front, the RTX 5090 Infinity returns, but now Gigabyte is also bringing its new cooler design to RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 GPUs.

For PC cases, Gigabyte is showing the new Aorus C510 Glass Infinity, which integrates a reversible 16‑inch side display and supports massive graphics cards like the custom-cooled RTX 5090. As you would expect from a modern PC case, this one supports hidden connector motherboards.

The Gigabyte Stealth series grows with the new B850M Aorus Stealth and its ICE (white) version. This is Gigabyte's first ‘gaming-grade' B850 Micro-ATX motherboard, and as a good number of new PC cases now support hidden connector motherboards, you shouldn't have much trouble getting hold of a compatible case.

For monitors, Gigabyte has new Aorus Elite Tandem OLED and Mini LED models on the way. This includes the world's first 27-inch 5K Mini LED glossy monitor, offering ‘retina-class' PPI and sharpness to tackle the Apple crowd. It also has great specs for gaming too, with a 5K 165Hz mode, a 4K 220Hz mode and a QHD 330Hz mode.

The Aorus Elite OLED models move to 4th Gen Tandem OLED panels with a RealBlack Glossy finish and peak HDR brightness up to 1500 nits. The flagship FO32U24GP adds Dual Mode support and DP 2.1 UHBR20 connectivity, delivering up to 80Gbps of bandwidth for high‑refresh 4K. The FO27Q28G serves as a more accessible 27‑inch option.

On the software side for these new monitors, Gigabyte is introducing HyperNits to dynamically boost HDR highlights, while an AI Picture Mode can tune SDR image quality based on scene content. AI Super Resolution can upscale sub-native content on the fly and AI OLED Care will help you prolong the life of your OLED panel and avoid burn-in.

It wouldn't be 2026 without some mention of AI. This year, Gigabyte is showing new systems like the AI Top, which pair up to aa Ryzen 9 9950X with an RTX 5090 or Radeon AI Pro R9700 graphics card, but there is support here for dual-GPU configurations, which would allow the user to run even larger LLMs with up to 405 billion parameters. For those looking to bring a GPU upgrade to a portable machine, the Aorus RTX 50 AI Box is here, offering an external GPU solution for laptops or extremely small form factor systems.

Moving on to laptops, Gigabyte is launching the new Aorus Master 16, the world's slimmest X3D laptop, measuring in at just 19.9mm. This laptop packs a Ryzen 9 9955X3D and an RTX 5090 laptop GPU, along with an impressive 240Hz OLED display with HDR1000 support. Under the hood, cooling is handled by a Windforce Infinity system with a vapor-chamber, optimised airflow channels and a 230W total thermal envelope. As you would expect, this laptop is CoPilot+ certified, and can run Gigabyte's new ‘AI Agent', GiMATE. For gamers and creators, Gigabyte has the AERO X16, which packs a Ryzen AI 9 465 CPU and an RTX 5070 laptop GPU, and the Gaming A16 and A16 Pro laptops, which use Intel Core Ultra CPUs and RTX 50 GPUs.

Finally for peripherals, there is a new Aorus K10 Infinity keyboard with magnetic hall effect switches, an 8000Hz polling rate and an integrated OLED touchscreen. On top of that is the Aorus M10 Infinity Mouse with optical switches and hardware-level support for Nvidia Reflex 2.

At Computex this year, DeepCool arrived armed with its new Assassin 5 Vision CPU cooler, utilising a new 2.0 Vapor Chamber design to improve heat transfer. As the Vision in the name implies, there is an LCD screen that sits on top of the cooler, giving you quick access to stats like CPU temperature and fan speed at a glance. DeepCool also has the AN600 VC for more compact systems, and the AK700 VC in black and white colour options.

For the workstation crowd, DeepCool is launching the Station X 620, a new air cooler built specifically for extremely high core-count CPUs, capable of handling up to a 520W TDP.

DeepCool also has its new SILENTNOX PRO 360 AIO, the very first from the company to feature a curved display on the pump block, with an even higher 2K resolution for better visuals.

DeepCool’s latest fans employ new dynamic balancing standards to reduce vibrations and resonance, further improving acoustic performance.

On the chassis front, DeepCool has the new CH690, designed for modern builds with a panoramic view of the internal components, alongside four pre-installed ARGB fans and an integrated display. There is also the CH170 Plus UES launching this year – an upgraded version of the compact chassis with new quick-release side panels for easier access to the internals for upgrades or maintenance.

Computex 2026: Montech’s scented PC case, King 95 3D, coolers and prototypes

7 June 2026 at 12:30

Our Computex 2026 coverage continues with Montech. At the show, we saw brand-new PC cases as well as one of the most unusual products of the entire show – a scented PC.

Watch via YouTube below:

Timestamps:
00:00 King 95 3D
01:45 F738 Pro + Vision
03:18 The TEN
04:36 TG3
05:21 Link fans + Lumi software
06:39 CyberFlow AIOs
07:26 Prototype products
08:40 PSUs

Starting off with the Montech King 95 3D, this case is hitting the market at $120, but without pre-installed fans, so the fully decked-out version you see in the video isn't quite what you'll see in the box if you buy one.

The King 95 3D ships with a hidden PCU compartment behind the motherboard tray, so you'll be able to do very short cable runs from the PSU to your hardware, particularly if you use a BTF motherboard.

The F738 adopts a floating design, which we've seen across a few different case makers at Computex this year. Essentially there are two chambers, with the main tower housing your motherboard, GPU and fans floating above the base unit where your PSU and cables all sit.

The F738 ships in two versions, an airflow-focused ‘Pro' version with a louvre style front panel where you can adjust the angle of the slats to change airflow direction, as well as a ‘Vision' version, which uses a glass panel at the front instead for really showing off your build.

The Montech TEN is a new SFF case, built for the company's 10th Anniversary. It comes in pretty cheap, starting at around $70 for the standard version, with enough room for a high-end GPU and AIO liquid cooling. There is also an Aura version with ARGB lighting, and a Wood version with small wooden accents on the top and front of the case.

The wood one is particularly noteworthy for one other reason – it has a magnetic piece that attaches to the roof of the case. The idea is that you would drip essential oils on this piece of wood, pop it in place, and then the heat from your PC would generate whatever aroma you want. It is a novel concept, one we've not seen before, so we'll see if it takes off.

Finally, we also have the TG3 case, hitting the market at just $60, complete with glass panels at the front and side, and a smaller PSU shroud, giving you lots of room at the front for accessories or extra cooling hardware. If you want the aesthetic of a more expensive case without breaking the bank, this looks like one to go for. We'll be getting one in for review soon, so stay tuned for that.

For cooling fans, Montech has the new Link Fan INF 120. These are daisy-chained fans, allowing you to create blocks of three unified fans for streamlined installation and cable management. They are available in normal and reverse airflow versions. Your fans can then be controlled via the accompanying Montech Lumi software, which is currently in beta, but will give you readings for fan speed, PWM control, the ability to sync settings across fans, and of course, control for ARGB lighting too.

On the AIO side, we have the CyberFlow Core, available in 240mm and 360mm versions, in both black or white colour options. We have heard that these will be hitting the market at under $100, making them a pretty good deal compared to many other new AIOs hitting the market this year.

Montech also had a wall of prototypes that may or may not make it to market. The wall includes things like ARGB-lit power supply extension cables, new AIO designs with even bigger displays, a ‘SyncBar', which is a mini display to give users a look at key system stats at a glance. As noted earlier though, these are prototypes and may not go into consumer production.

Our final stop of the booth is power supplies. We're already quite familiar with the Century II line-up, which offers 80Plus Gold efficiency, but Montech is now also introducing the Century 2 PLA – a new set of Platinum-rated units for even greater efficiency.

Gamdias revealed its big new product a couple of weeks ahead of Computex – its new Atlas P6 CG case.

The Atlas P6 CG has a curved glass panel across the front and side of the case, creating a panoramic viewing window, perfect for a build with lots of ARGB and a back-connect motherboard to minimise visible cables. It even has a little stage for a figurine inside the front of the case.  Motherboard compatibility includes up to ATX motherboards. There's also space for graphics cards up to 425mm long, CPU coolers up to 165mm tall, power supplies up to 200mm deep, and liquid cooling radiators up to 360mm on the top panel. The front I/O includes a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2×2 port (20Gbps), two USB-A 3.0 ports, dedicated LED control, a spotlight toggle switch, and audio jacks.

The Gamdias Atlas P6 CG will be available for around $139.99.

The Atlas P7 Series is also on the way. The standard ATLAS P7 uses four‑side glass, three pre‑installed NOTUS M1 ARGB fans, an 8‑port ARGB/PWM hub and a built‑in GPU support bracket, with underglow lighting. The dedicated display stage from the Atlas P6 CG also returns here. The ATLAS P7 LCD variant swaps to a three‑side tempered‑glass layout to accommodate an additional rear 120mm fan and adds an integrated LCD screen.

On the cooling front, Gamdias is launching the Chione P6 and the Chione P5 Pro. The P6 features a 6.7-inch curved LCD display on the CPU block, and ships with a 3-in-1 fan module, all daisy-chained together in one frame for easy installation. The Chione P5 Pro has a detachable LCD screen instead.

Finally, Gamdias is also launching its new Thor P2 fully modular power supplies, available in capacities up to 1350W, with efficiency up to 80Plus Platinum.

Leading the chassis lineup is the CAPO X, combining the AX1000 TG super‑tower with the AX200 pedestal. The AX1000 supports dual SSI‑EEB systems, up to 29 fans, dual 560mm radiators and two PSUs, while the AX200 adds room for additional cooling and up to sixteen drives. This one is clearly aimed at super powerful workstations, but Thermaltake has some options for the gaming crowd as well.

The new Arcus 380 TG ARGB, Arcus 280 TG ARGB and View 590 TG ARGB each use a single‑piece curved tempered‑glass panel and preinstalled Infinity ARGB reverse‑flow fans, making any of these a good choice for a showcase build with lots of lighting. Next to that, we have the Stage 450 and Stage 500, which support hidden‑connector motherboards and offer a more traditional mid-tower look, while keeping the glass panel at the front.

For someone looking to put together a build that really stands out from the crowd, you may like the Core PX Infinity WS, which uses an open-frame chassis with wooden slates at the front.

In power, the Thermaltake is debuting the Dockpower, a modular PSU that separates the dock from the main unit to preserve cable routing during upgrades. Models range from 750W to 1200W with ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 support. Thermaltake is also preparing the AX 3200W, a fully modular Platinum‑rated unit with four native 12V‑2×6 connectors for demanding AI systems and workstations.

Cooling updates include the ST360 Pro Ultra ARGB Sync with a 6‑inch OLED display and magnetic pump head, the ST360 Trio Ultra with three foldable LCD panels, and the VF360 ARGB Sync with an integrated VRM fan. The TOUGHLIQUID 360 V2 introduces a thicker radiator and redesigned block, while the UX600 air‑cooler family spans standard, LCD and Ultra variants with dual‑tower layouts and up to 260W TDP support.

Thermaltake’s sim‑racing lineup is expanding significantly, with new cockpits including the GR900, GR700, GK500 go‑kart rig, and GR350 wheel stand, alongside the GM5 3DOF and GM9 6DOF motion systems. Accessories include triple‑monitor stands, bucket seats and pedal kits. The company is also showing new racing‑grade hardware such as the G15x direct‑drive wheelbase, XRW‑G1 steering wheel, XRP‑L1 load‑cell pedals and GB1 handbrake.

Finally, there are several new peripherals at the show too. For fans of the retro 90s PC look, there is the RetroCraft 75 wireless keyboard and the lightweight RetroSwift mouse. For something a bit more modern, Thermaltake has the A75 Max wireless mechanical keyboard and the PixArt‑based S5 wireless gaming mouse with 8K polling for the best possible response times.

00:06 New Dark Power Pro 14 IO
01:36 Dark Rock Pro 6 IO LCD
02:22 New daisy-chainable fans
03:39 Light Loop IO LCD coolers
04:28 Prototype cases
06:25 IO Centre software

be quiet! is showcasing a wide range of new hardware at Computex 2026. The company’s suite includes first looks at the Dark Power Pro 14 IO flagship PSU, the Light Loop IO LCD liquid cooler, the Dark Rock Pro 6 IO LCD air cooler, the Light Wings Pro IO fan series, the new Pure Base 803 case and the Light Mount TKL keyboard, alongside the company’s first accessory, the Mousepad XL.

First up is the Dark Power Pro 14 IO, available in 1300W and 1600W models with 80 PLUS Titanium and Cybenetics Titanium efficiency. The IO in the name here refers to be quiet!'s new IO Center software, allowing you to switch cooling modes, switch between multi-rail and single-rail operation or see real-time stats for power usage in just a few clicks. The IO theme will continue throughout the rest of the be quiet! products highlighted here.

The Dark Rock Pro 6 IO LCD adds a 4.5‑inch IPS display to the top cover of the heatsink, while keeping other design aspects in line with the previous Dark Rock Pro 6. This one is also controllable through IO Center, including settings for cooling modes, fan curves and display settings.

The Light Loop IO LCD AIO brings similar upgrades. There is a 2.1-inch IPS display on the CPU block, and it ships with daisy-chained Light Wings LX PWM fans, along with a redesigned jet plate and a new pump to improve performance compared to previous Light Loop versions, and a refill port so you can top up or replace the coolant. Like the Dark Rock Pro 6 IO, this one will link into IO Center for easy access to settings.

As you might expect, there are some Light Wings Pro IO case fans on the way as well. These ones are built with ARGB enthusiasts in mind though, with up to 124 LEDs per fan, which is a significant number of extra LEDs over many other ARGB fans on the market.

be quiet! is also gearing up to launch its new Pure Base 803 line of cases, available in standard, Workstation and LX versions. The series supports multiple 420mm radiators, back-connect motherboards and plenty of fans for airflow. However, the LX variant replaces the front fan mounts with side intakes and adds an extra glass panel to the front for a fishtank style build.

For peripherals, be quiet! has the Light Mount TKL mechanical keyboard with sound‑damped construction and per‑key ARGB, and the Mousepad XL, a 900×500mm cloth surface with a 3mm rubber base and stitched edges for those who like their mouse mat to cover most of the desk.

KitGuru Says: Be quiet! is going all in on its new software integration. Will you be looking to pick up any of their new gear for a new PC build?

Computex 2026: Seasonic’s new 5200W 80Plus Ruby PSU and more

5 June 2026 at 09:01

At Computex this year, Seasonic is showcasing a new wave of developments, giving us an idea of where power delivery is heading next. In our video, Leo breaks it all down, from the traditional Focus series, all the way up to massive new 5200W units.

Watch via YouTube below:

01:23 New Power Supplies / EDPP
03:25 Prime Enterprise 3200
03:54 Focus GX1000 (Limited Edition)
04:07 5200W and Enterprise Power Supplies
04:55 Seasonic Optiguard

On the consumer front, Seasonic has new Focus SFX-L power supplies, offering modular cables, up to 1300W capacity and 80Plus Gold efficiency, along with ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compliancy. There are also full-sized ATX versions of the Focus power supply, offering capacities up to 1000W with 80Plus Platinum efficiency.

The Seasonic Core series is where gamers will go for a cheaper full-sized option while keeping 80Plus Gold efficiency. If you need a bit more power than that, then a Seasonic Vertex is your point of call, offering the same efficiency rating, but bumping capacities up to 1200W.

If you want something that looks a bit different, there is a limited edition ‘Sakura' version of the Focus GX-1000, although we don't know exactly how globally available these units will be.

Seasonic Prime has always been the flagship and that continues to be true today. The new Prime Enterprise models promise capacities all the way up to 3200W, intended to power high-end workstations and AI systems, although you will have to deal with only having two native 12V-2×6 connectors on most models.

The Seasonic Prime Enterprise series also stands out for its EDPP protection features. Essentially, in AI-ready multi-GPU systems, there can be sudden and repeated power changes. EDPP creates stricter dynamic load validation to ensure power delivery remains stable during scenarios like this.

Moving further into the enterprise segment, Seasonic also has a 5200W PSU here for AI systems, including an extremely rare 80Plus Ruby efficiency rating.

Following on from a preview last year, Seasonic has also showed the latest improvements to its new OptiGuard technology. These are new ‘smart' cables for 12V-2×6 equipped graphics cards, allowing per-pin monitoring for load and giving warnings if there is an issue, so you can power down the system safely and check that the connector is seated properly to avoid disaster.

MSI also previewed next‑generation GPU cooling through a new version of the Gaming Trio cooler on an RTX 5090. The new design uses a diamond-copper baseplate, diamond-composite pads, spiral-groove heat pipes and 0.8mm metal fan blades to improve airflow efficiency. MSI is also investing in ways for RTX 5090 users to protect their expensive purchases with a new Safeguard system that monitors current and voltage going through the 12V-2×6 connector and then gives warning alerts and reduces power usage if issues persist, there is even a server-grade eFuse for short-circuit protection.

The flagship MEG Maestro 900R ($699, Q3) leads MSI’s new case lineup with a slightly customisable internal layout through the rotatable motherboard tray. It is built to last, and the material cost is reflected in the price tag. We are told there will also be an airflow version made available too.

Next to that we have the MPG Vixtr 300 PZ series, designed for easier assembly with enlarged cable‑management space, a detachable PSU bracket and a choice of panoramic glass ($129) or a high‑airflow mesh front ($139).

MSI’s power‑supply lineup includes the MEG Ai1600T PCIE5, now launched with 80Plus Titanium and Cybenetics A++ certifications, dual native 12V‑2×6 connectors and SiC MOSFETs, and the MPG Ai1600TS PCIE5 ($499), which adds GPU Safeguard+ and Fan Safeguard. The MAG A1000PLS PCIE5 W ($199, Q4) brings 80Plus Platinum efficiency and native 12V‑2×6 connectors.

On the gaming front, MSI is heavily expanding its selection of peripherals. There is a new Forge GM340 Wireless hitting the market, which weighs just 57g and uses a popular symmetrical layout with a PAW3311 sensor, making it a prime choice for FPS players. The mouse even sports tri-mode connectivity and up to 82 hours of battery life between charges.

There is also the new range of Maestro 500 Wireless gaming headsets, which promise up to 90 hours of playback. For keyboards, there is a new Strike 700 8K HE wireless keyboard with Hall Effect switches and 8000Hz polling for the quickest response times possible.

There is also a Strike Alloy TMR keyboard for those chasing the best possible build quality, along with an accompanying touch-screen accessory, the Strike Nexus, which uses a similar magnesium alloy casing and offers you quick access to system stats, macro shortcuts, profile controls and more.

In storage, MSI introduced the Datamag portable SSDs in 20Gbps and 40Gbps versions, all of which can attatch to your devices magnetically, while offering capacities up to 4TB. The Spatium M571 DLP PCIe 5.0 SSD adds power‑loss data protection, a 6nm controller and read/write speeds up to 14,500/11,700MB/s. New Vortiq enterprise SSDs span SATA, U.2, E3.S and E1.S formats, offering capacities up to 122.88TB, full data‑path protection, hardware PLP and AES‑256 encryption.

MSI also updated its RadiX WiFi 7 router family, including the BE19000 NAS Lite edition, BE9400 and BE3600 models, all featuring WiFi 7 and high‑speed wired connectivity with up to dual 10G ports.
